Chapter 389 - This Is My Purpose
Chapter 389: This Is My Purpose
He Gao paused when he heard this.
He lifted his head and his eyes were filled with impatience. There was a hint of arrogance between his brows, making him look like a frustrated youth who was being pestered.
He said, “I don’t know what you’re talking about, but I’m really not the person you’re talking about. I know Gao Yanchen. He’s my aunt’s son, but ever since my aunt passed away, our family has never contacted the Gao family again. To me, he’s just a stranger.”
He Gao put down his chopsticks and seemed to be about to flare up. However, when he received Xiang Huai’s warning gaze, he suppressed his anger. “What do you want before you believe me?”
Although he was angry, Xue Xi paused.
The young man was clearly annoyed, but he still held it in. She had seen him countless times before, and in her daze, she seemed to have returned to the time when she was in Bin City and in school.
Xue Xi’s eyes flickered and she lowered her head. The misty breath shrouded her eyes again, making it impossible to tell what she was feeling. She stubbornly said, “You’re Little Flame.”
He Gao was exasperated.
He suddenly stood up. “Wait a moment.”
He then turned around and left.
Two minutes later, he brought a few boys over.
He Gao pointed at the five to six boys and said, “I was studying in the capital. There are many students from my school who got into this university. Some of them are from my class and some are from my school. We all attended together from kindergarten to middle school and high school. Ask them who I am. Tell her!”
After saying this, he kicked a boy beside him.
The boy was also dressed in military training attire. He jumped after being kicked and said, “I can testify that he is indeed from our school! He Gao is an influential figure. Many people sent him love letters, and the girl I like has a crush on him!”
Another boy also said, “I grew up right beside him. When he was still young, we played together. He is really He Gao.”
“That’s right. He is He Gao. He is the first in the Year Two running competition for 10,000 meters. The entire school knows about this.”
“This guy has been outstanding since he was young and is disciplined. We all play games and complain that he never plays. Other than training, he only reads. Don’t look down on us as sports students. His college entrance examination scores are high!”
“…”
Everyone chimed in and established He Gao’s image.
Although he and Little Flame were both from wealthy families, Little Flame did not study well since he was young. He was an existence that gave the adults of Bin City a headache.
However, He Gao had always been someone else’s child. The term “outstanding” and “self-discipline” were completely different when used on him.
Xue Xi looked up blankly and the hope in her heart was extinguished.
He was really not Little Flame.
After all, he could find someone to lie for him, but it was impossible for him to find so many people to lie for him. Moreover, there were no loopholes in their words and the details were very clear.
Xue Xi’s heart suddenly turned cold. At this moment, Xiang Huai, who was beside her, grabbed her hand. The warmth from his palm made Xue Xi slowly regain her rationality.
“Do you believe me now? If you don’t believe me, I can give you my classmates’ contact details. You can ask them one by one!” He Gao said helplessly.
It was just an angry sentence, but Xue Xi said firmly, “Okay.”
He Gao: “…”
He had never seen such a stubborn person.
He Gao was stunned for a moment. Just as he was about to flare up, Xiang Huai shot him another glance, making him suppress his anger again. He said impatiently, “Add me on WeChat tonight and I’ll give you my address book.”
Xue Xi nodded.
He Gao turned around and left. He was so angry that he stopped eating.
The young man’s back was straight. When he reached the entrance of the canteen, he stopped and turned to look at her.
At this moment, Xue Xi had already lowered her head and was eating seriously.
A complicated look flashed across He Gao’s eyes. The setting sun shone on his face and reflected in his eyes, making it look as though there were flames flickering in them.
…
After dinner, Xiang Huai asked Xue Xi out to the field. After all, this was a hobby of lovers in university. Xiang Huai had thought it through very well. There was a small forest beside the Huaqing Pond.
These last few nights, every time he passed by, he would see a few couples hiding there. As for what they were doing… Just thinking about it made Xiang Huai’s heart burn.
However, he did not expect the little kid’s reply to be so despairing. “No, I want to go back to the dormitory to read.”
Xiang Huai: “…”
He paused and said, “I have a copy of Mathematical Modeling. Do you want to take a look?”
As expected, Xue Xi’s eyes lit up. “Okay.”
“Then follow me to get it.”
Xue Xi nodded.
The two of them walked on the way from the canteen to the hotel. The sun had just set and the sky was not very dark yet. There was a breeze blowing and it was a comfortable time.
The people in the school gathered together in twos and threes.
There were also young couples holding hands and leaning on each other as they ate ice cream. The surroundings were filled with beautiful scenery. As they strolled around, their hearts calmed down.
The two of them did not speak much along the way. When they reached Xiang Huai’s room, he closed the door while Xue Xi asked anxiously, “Where’s the book?”
Xiang Huai shrugged. “No books.”
Xue Xi: “?”
She widened her eyes in surprise and looked at Xiang Huai. Why was this person still lying? Moreover, he was actually not guilty at all after saying that he did not have a book.
While she was fuming, Xiang Huai sighed. “Little kid, I just wanted to find an excuse to stay with you for a while.”
Xue Xi: “…”
The little bit of anger that had been brewing seemed to have dissipated with this sentence.
Xiang Huai held her hand and slowly said, “Sometimes, some white lies are just for certain purposes.”
Xue Xi paused. “Then what’s your motive?”
Xiang Huai moved forward and suddenly hugged her waist. He kissed her forcefully without giving her any buffer…
This hotel was a suite. As the two of them kissed, they reached the sofa. Xue Xi was in a daze from the kiss. The man pressed on her and said, “This is my goal.”
…
That night, Xue Xi, who was lying in her dormitory, stared at the ceiling. When she recalled the kiss with Xiang Huai today, her face turned red.
At this moment, Liu Zhao’s voice suddenly sounded from the side. “Xue Xi, I’m sorry. I really didn’t expect to bring you so much trouble. I also didn’t want to compete with you. I’m really sorry about what happened today. Can you tell Instructor Xiang not to make things difficult for me?”
Xue Xi: “?”
She turned around and saw Liu Zhao standing by the bed with red eyes. She looked as though she had been bullied by her.
Xue Xi’s eyes darkened.
