If you're not going to marry me, why are you flirting? If you dare run away, I'll sever yo

Xia Ningqi also came out of the back door of the classroom and happened to witness this scene.

A chill ran through her eyes.

A cold voice came from behind, "Are you still coming or not?"

Lin Xiaoxiao turned her head at the sound and saw Xia Ningqi, whose face was as cold as ice. This was the first time in a long time that the two of them had faced each other directly.

"I need to speak with Qi Nan."

Xia Ningqi asked calmly, "What does this have to do with me?"

Lin Xiaoxiao was enraged.

For the first time in two whole years, Xia Ningqi dared to speak to herself in this tone.

"What does my seeing him have to do with you? Are you his girlfriend?"

She's just someone whose life improved because she's being kept by a sugar daddy. Does she think she can talk to me like that just because she has a sugar daddy?

Xia Ningqi ignored Lin Xiaoxiao.

I'm too lazy to dwell on the past, but some things, once lost, shouldn't be taken back.

"Are you coming or not?"

"Let's go... let's go..." Qi Nan followed Xia Ningqi without saying a word.

After all, he knew in his heart who he could mess with and who he couldn't.

Seeing that Qi Nan had actually abandoned her and followed Xia Ningqi, Lin Xiaoxiao felt her cheeks burning red, because Xia Ningqi didn't even bother to explain, but instead slapped her in the face with her actions.

Behind them, Lin Xiaoxiao's voice rang out again, "Qi Nan! Stop pretending. I know you still like me. Otherwise, why did you remind me not to invest money last time? In the end, it was because you cared about me!"

I never expected her to bring this up.

Qi Nan was speechless.

As for Xia Ningqi beside him, she glanced at Qi Nan with her phoenix eyes and said indifferently, "You really like playing the good guy."

Qi Nan didn't know what she had misunderstood, and he felt like he was swallowing a bitter pill, unable to express his suffering.

Lin Xiaoxiao watched the two walk away, her fists clenched tightly as they hung down on her thighs.

Xia Ningqi, you just wait. Next semester, I'll make sure you keep your arrogant head bowed.

"Xiaoxiao, why are you walking so fast?"

Their class was divided into two exam rooms. As soon as Lin Xiaoxiao finished her exam, she ran to the next room, making it difficult for Lin Xiaoxiao to follow her.

They saw the backs of Qi Nan and the other person.

Tang Rou scoffed, "What a pair of scoundrels! Weren't Xia Ningqi and Ye Anran supposed to be dating? Now she's all lovey-dovey with Qi Nan. Aren't they afraid that if they get caught, he won't keep her anymore?"

"Hmph, that's what a slut is like. She has a foxy face and seduces both men and women."

"Forget about them for now. The exams are over this afternoon. Let's go out for a big meal together at noon today."

A fancy meal?

Lin Xiaoxiao looked troubled.

"Tang Rou, could you lend me some money? You know I took out a loan last time..."

Actually, Lin Xiaoxiao was still a little embarrassed to say that she had never done something so shameful as to ask her friend for money before.

When Tang Rou heard that the other party wanted to borrow money, her eyes began to dart away. "Xiao Xiao, I feel that it wouldn't be a problem if we ate in the cafeteria."

"Why? Didn't you say you were going out?"

"I can go out... but I'm a bit strapped for cash right now..."

Having understood her meaning, Lin Xiaoxiao's expression wasn't too pleasant.

When she was rich, she received a lot of benefits from Qi Nan, but now that she's down on her luck, she pretends to be penniless.

"Tang Rou, I think I gave you quite a few expensive clothes and accessories before, right? Now you won't even treat me to a meal?"

Tang Rou put on a wronged expression, "Xiao Xiao, how could you think of me like that? Aren't we friends?"

"Do friends have to be so calculating about even a meal?"

"I told you, I can treat you to a meal at the cafeteria."

Lin Xiaoxiao felt a tearing pain in her heart. "Can't we invite people from outside?"

Outside?

Tang Rou, with a hint of unease, the shops you've been to cost at least a thousand yuan for two people. If you go there yourself, you'll really become a nuisance.

However, although that's what he thought in his heart, he said something else entirely.

"Xiaoxiao, that's not what I meant. I just felt that going out for lunch was too rushed, since I have an exam this afternoon."

That's probably the best reason.

After all, they had been friends for so long, and Tang Rou could guess most of what she was thinking. Since things had come to this point, the best way to deal with the two of them was to see through it but not expose it.

...

The exam is over in the afternoon.

Ye Ran invited Xia Ningqi and Qi Nan to have dinner at the mall.

"Why do I have to come too?"

Qi Nan was a little confused. Why did Ye Anran invite not only Xia Ningqi? Wouldn't having him as an extra person be a hindrance?

"Because we're going shopping after we eat, one more man means one more person to carry our bags."

Qi Nan: ?

I thought I was there to get something for free, but now I realize I'm the one who got something for free.

"What's wrong? You're not happy about accompanying two beautiful women shopping?"

Xia Ningqi's phoenix eyes betrayed no emotion. "He's thinking of going to a bar to pick up girls. Aren't you ruining his plans by asking him to come along?"

Ye Anran nodded slowly.

"Oh, I see~"

Qi Nan quickly retorted, "Xia Ningqi, don't spread rumors about me. Who said going to a bar means you have to pick up girls?"

"What else would a guy go to a bar for if not to pick up girls?"

Qi Nan looked at Qin Shiyu beside him and said, "Old Qin, tell me, what else can a man do at a bar besides picking up girls?"

Qin Shiyu said calmly, "Let's drink."

"Look, this is the truth."

Qi Nan glanced gratefully at Qin Shiyu out of the corner of his eye.

Unexpectedly, Ye Anran suddenly slammed her hand on the table, her tone sarcastic, "Oh? So it seems you go there often too?"

The atmosphere suddenly cooled down.

Qin Shiyu said indifferently, "Miss, this is my personal matter."

"You think I can't even interfere in your private affairs?"

The other party remained silent, which seemed to be an admission.

Ye Anran leaned back, so angry that she crossed her legs and even her breathing became faster.

Seeing that things were not going well, Xia Ningqi started to smooth things over.

"Alright, alright, all the dishes are served. Let's eat quickly, or we'll catch a cold."

"Yes, yes, this Three Cup Chicken looks delicious. I'll have a bite to try first."

Qi Nan was inexplicably dragged into this battle without gunfire. He was the main character in the conversation just moments ago, but now he's the peacemaker.

It's even faster than the face-changing act in Sichuan opera.

Qi Nan didn't understand why these two, who were so at odds, could get along for so long. In a sense, it was a miracle.
