After Transmigration, the Male Lead and I Had a HE Chapter 153
Xie Xinglin unexpectedly spoke up at this moment despite being silent the whole time. He indifferently said, “Director, it was my idea. It had nothing to do with her.”
Director Xu had reprimanded Su Qiuge halfway when he heard Xie Xinglin’s interruption. It felt that he had been slapped in the face and he looked at him with a gaze of hating iron for not becoming steel. He wanted to say a few words to scold him as well, but felt reluctant to do so. In the end, he took a deep breath and said, “Fine fine fine. Anyways, kids your age all have their own thoughts. It’s fine as long as you don’t regret your decisions in the future.”
Although his words were free and at ease, his gaze still lingered on them, “You properly stand for your punishment. I will do surprise checks and if I find you chatting and joking around again like last time, then don’t blame me for being impolite.”
After Director Xu left, Zhao Minghua swept her gaze at them, “It’s fine as long as you heard what Director Xu said, don’t take it to mind. For now, go set your bags down inside and then come out to stand for your penalty. Come back in when morning reading ends. I can understand that sometimes there’s a lot of stress from studying and you’d want to relax a bit, but you ran into him this time and there’s not much that can be done. The school rules can’t be broken.”
There was still some time before morning reading started. Many people were previously attracted by Director Xu’s loud voice, and they were now standing by the side and watching the two being penalized to stand.
Su Qiuge currently felt like a precious national treasure as she stood in place, allowing others to observe her. These people were also strange. They acted as if they’ve never seen someone being punished to stand, they didn’t go back to finish their homework. Instead, there were even a bunch of people by the stairs and someone was actually narrating to an audience, imitating the way Director Xu spoke just now.
Recently, there were few activities at school and the students have become idled enough to find other ways to entertain themselves.
The more she thought about it, the more unwilling she felt. She quietly leaned over to Xie Xinglin and said to him, “How could Directo Xu speak like that? He talked as if I was some bad woman that was deliberately trying to lead a good student into depravity.”
Xie Xinglin’s gaze fell on her. He contemplated for a moment, then slowly said, “It wasn’t completely unreasonable.”
When he heard what she said, Xie Xinglin looked at her with dark eyes. Then, after a long while, he hoarsely replied, “Happy.”
Su Qiuge raised her chin and snorted, “And who made it happen?”
He stared at her with pitch-black eyes and said with deep meaning, “You made it happen.”
Their eyes met at this moment and under Xie Xinglin’s faintly oppressive eyes, Su Qiuge felt goosebumps appear all over her body.
At that moment, as if gods and demons were at work, she suddenly recalled when she had watched Animal World. The gaze of the cheetah, as it hid in the underbrush and stared at the oblivious sika deer prior to the hunt, was just like his.
After a while, she felt that she was thinking too deeply into it.
After all, it was impossible for Xie Xinglin to eat her.
There was no reason for her to be scared at all.
Therefore, Su Qiuge sorrowfully said, “Then look, the person who brought you happiness was actually punished to stand and scolded because of you, don’t you feel guilty?”
She originally still had some baby fat and because of her slight unhappiness, the cheeks bulged, making her appear cute and tender.
It was as if a little milk cat was losing its temper. It clearly wasn’t very powerful, but still put on an act.
