Chapter 1522: Thought You Could Be That Deeply Affectionate

~8 min read 1,415 words

Oh my, that really ruined a good thing!

The Security Guard secretly speculated about the relationship between Xu Xiaoxiao and Liu Qingze.

And Xu Xiaoxiao was shocked by the Security Guard's words.

Deliberately pulling the power switch?

Which brat did this!

If this person isn't caught and taught a harsh lesson, they will definitely do it again in the future!

Xu Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes and said, "We must find the person and post a school-wide notice of criticism! They are already university students, yet they still pull such pranks—how childish!"

Liu Qingze felt suspicious and asked, "How do you know it was done by a university student?"

"Staff members wouldn't do something so childish!"

As soon as Xu Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she felt... someone staring at her.

And the gaze was unkind; it made her shiver.

Xu Xiaoxiao looked toward the doorway, but saw nothing.

So, was it an illusion?

Xu Xiaoxiao felt suspicious.

Liu Qingze checked the time and said, "You go ahead and get busy, I'll head back first."

Xu Xiaoxiao came back to her senses and wanted to persuade Liu Qingze to continue the treatment.

But thinking of his reminder just now...

Xu Xiaoxiao changed her mind and only said, "Regarding the details of the treatment, please help me think of a solution as well."

"Rest assured, you helped me, so I will definitely keep this small matter in mind!"

Liu Qingze gave his promise, and because of this promise, Xu Xiaoxiao curled her lips.

Afterward, Liu Qingze left with the Security Guard.

And Xu Xiaoxiao tidied up a little before leaving.

Only...

Just when Xu Xiaoxiao was alone, she felt that gaze again!

This suddenly gave Xu Xiaoxiao a feeling of creepiness!

She even secretly turned her head to peer in the direction of the doorway.

And upon looking, she actually saw... Wang Sinian!?

In an instant,

Xu Xiaoxiao was no longer afraid; instead, she asked righteously, "What are you doing here?"

Wang Sinian did not answer directly, but instead asked back with a cold face:

"You begged me to do the treatment before, so what, now that you have a new experimental subject, I don't even have the qualifications to enter?"

In fact, the more experimental data, the better.

Only with a larger sample size are the experimental results reliable.

But judging from Wang Sinian's recent attitude toward Xu Xiaoxiao...

Xu Xiaoxiao feared that even if she asked him, he would sternly refuse.

Since that was the case, why should she look for trouble?

It's just that now, this trouble didn't even need Xu Xiaoxiao to provoke it; it came knocking on its own!

Xu Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes, preparing to overwhelm this eyesore with her presence!

Wang Sinian, however, ignored her presence and instead looked calmly at Xu Xiaoxiao, taking the opportunity to pose a question: "Why aren't you speaking? Is it because you have nothing to say?"

"What do you want me to say?"

"Admit that you are very shallow!"

Ha!

This guy really was here to look for trouble!

Xu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips, her anger rising sharply inside.

When she spoke, her voice grew louder: "If you want to pick a fight, just say so; I'll accompany you to the end!"

"How is it that I want to fight? Clearly, you saw a young piece of fresh meat and your heart was stirred!"

What young piece of fresh meat?

What is all this nonsense!

Xu Xiaoxiao felt this guy was babbling.

But Wang Sinian showed a mocking expression: "I thought you were so deeply affectionate toward Jiang Chenghao, but I didn't expect that as soon as you saw someone handsome, you would cast that affection to the back of your mind!"

Seeing someone handsome...

Who is he referring to, Liu Qingze?

It must be him, otherwise Wang Sinian wouldn't be saying anything about some young piece of fresh meat!

Xu Xiaoxiao, having realized this, only felt

it was unbelievable, "Can you not be so sleazy inside! Liu Qingze and I..."

Xu Xiaoxiao stopped halfway through her sentence.

Afterward, under Wang Sinian's unblinking stare, she raised an eyebrow and hummed: "Why should I tell you?"

Wang Sinian had originally been holding his breath, waiting for an answer.

As a result, this woman actually stopped talking!

This made Wang Sinian feel stifled, and he even opened his mouth to provoke her: "You won't say it, which means you have a guilty conscience!"

At this moment, Xu Xiaoxiao's emotions were stable.

Facing Wang Sinian's attack, she remained unmoved: "There is no need to use reverse psychology on me; I will not say it."

The reason Xu Xiaoxiao would not speak was that she did not want to give Wang Sinian a reason to continue verbally attacking her.

This guy was very good at finding loopholes; even when he was unreasonable, he could still argue his way through.

Besides, she had a clear conscience, so why should she explain herself to him?

It would be a superfluous gesture!

Thinking this way, Xu Xiaoxiao was determined not to explain.

And the less she said, the more anxious Wang Sinian became, as if his heart were being scratched by a kitten.

Yet he did not want to beg, so he simply locked eyes with Xu Xiaoxiao in a standoff.

Until...

The Security Guard returned.

The Security Guard had made a round and was preparing to return to the security office.

On the way back, he passed by here, and seeing the door open, he poked his head in to take a look...

He did not expect to see Xu Xiaoxiao and Wang Sinian staring wide-eyed at each other.

Uh, what game are they playing?

Xu Xiaoxiao noticed the Security Guard peeking in, so she stopped the boring staring contest and instead asked the Security Guard: "Weren't you going to check the surveillance footage? Why are you back already?"

"The surveillance video is missing."

Missing!?

Xu Xiaoxiao was stunned, then immediately felt that this matter was not as simple as it seemed.

The Security Guard also had a serious expression and said: "I have already reported it to the leadership; the leader

suspects that someone pulled the power switch on purpose, and the goal... well, anyway, there will be a meeting to discuss this matter in a while."

Xu Xiaoxiao felt it was very necessary and nodded.

Wang Sinian, however, said: "It might just be a prank. To make such a big fuss over a prank—if word gets out, the school will lose all its face."

Xu Xiaoxiao retorted: "Do you know what the other party is thinking?"

"I... I don't know!"

"Since you don't know, what right do you have to speak for them? This time it was pulling the power switch, but what if next time they poison the cafeteria? This kind of hidden danger must be rooted out to give everyone an explanation!"

The Security Guard felt this was correct and nodded in agreement.

Wang Sinian, however, lowered his head, looking completely speechless.

The Security Guard was still busy, so he said a few words to Xu Xiaoxiao and left in a hurry.

Xu Xiaoxiao and Wang Sinian also ended their childish Battle Qi and returned to the office one after the other.

The people in the office were all talking about the power outage, and as for the cause, there were all sorts of theories.

Xu Xiaoxiao originally did not want to participate.

But unfortunately, the colleagues were discussing it so vividly that Xu Xiaoxiao could not help but join in for a few sentences.

Wang Sinian, however, just listened without saying a word.

But not long after, the director came to the office and specifically called Wang Sinian away by name.

Everyone was still immersed in finding the culprit who pulled the power switch and did not notice this small matter.

Only Xu Xiaoxiao noticed that the moment Wang Sinian was called by the director, there was a hint of panic in his eyes.

When Wang Sinian returned, he was clearly completely wilted.

He slumped over his desk, looking very much like he had given up on everything.

It was not strange for Wang Sinian to give up, but such a lifeless state of giving up... was still quite rare.

So what did the director talk to Wang Sinian about?

Xu Xiaoxiao

was especially curious, but hindered by the fact that she and Wang Sinian were still in a cold war, it was not easy to ask.
