Chapter 263
Xiaoyou were more interested in the relationship between Qin Hanyue and Qiao Ying than the competition itself. The only two people who were genuinely interested in the competition were not students from Peking University or Huanxi University.
The next day, the two of them came to Peking University.
Qiao Ying went to the principal's office, only to find those two guys from the 509 Supervision Bureau waiting for her.
After yesterday's competition, they didn't find her home but waited until today to come to the school, hoping that Principal Zhang would put in a good word for them.
Seeing Qiao Ying, Liang Feng enthusiastically came up to her.
He thought to himself that he almost let her slip away.
When Qiao Ying saved Cheng Yin's words abroad, they actually went to Qin Hanyue to confirm the truth.
As a result, Qin Hanyue admitted that he was the one who paralyzed the national network. Their fantasy was instantly shattered.
They didn't have the ability to recruit Qin Hanyue into their department.
They could only give up.
They didn't expect that in the computer competition, Qiao Ying demonstrated her skills. Liang Feng immediately realized that they almost let Qiao Ying slip away.
So they came looking for her again.
Principal Zhang looked at Liang Feng, who was eager and sincere to Qiao Ying. He kept nodding his head in admiration.
This was the 509 Supervision Bureau! Talents pursued by this department were hard to come by.
Qiao Ying directly said, "Don't bother me again."
Then she left.
Principal Zhang was stunned: She refused?
Considering everything that had happened to Qiao Ying, it was not surprising at all.
Even Qin San Ye had to try every means to pursue her.
What was so great about the 509 Supervision Bureau?
After a moment of bewilderment, Principal Zhang came back to his senses.
When Liang Feng asked Principal Zhang for help, he refused: "I'm just a messenger. It's not appropriate for me to interfere with students' affairs."
Liang Feng was reluctant to give up and went after Qiao Ying again.
He chased her all the way to the bottom of the teaching building.
Shamelessly, he offered generous terms.
Just as Qiao Ying was about to lose her temper, Xiao He called her, "Qiao Ying."
Xiao He walked over and looked at Liang Feng. Then he said to Qiao Ying, "It's time for class. Let's go."
"Hey..." Liang Feng had to stop in his tracks helplessly.
The two walked towards the classroom. Xiao He asked, "They want to recruit you into that Supervision Bureau again?"
Qiao Ying: "Yeah."
Then the conversation ended.
Qiao Ying asked him, "How are you? Feeling better?"
Xiao He told her, "I'm fine."
Fine? Anyone could tell he was not.
No one wanted to discuss their illness with peers of the opposite sex. So Xiao He changed the subject, "I haven't congratulated you yet."
Qiao Ying: "Thank you."
Xiao He turned his head and looked at Qiao Ying's soft profile. After a brief silence, he asked, "Can I take you out for dinner tonight?"
Before Qiao Ying could answer,
Xiao He seemed afraid that she would refuse, and quickly added, "I heard a new restaurant opened near the school. It looks quite good."
On the street,
the two were chased by a group of people.
Xiao He didn't give Qiao Ying a chance to speak and just kept running desperately.
Those people chased relentlessly. They tried to intercept Qiao Ying and Xiao He from all directions. Finding the road ahead blocked, Xiao He could only change direction and keep running.
In the end, they ran into a park. But those people chased in as well.
After searching for a while without finding them, they left cursing.
Meanwhile, Xiao He and Qiao Ying hid behind a tree about ten meters away.
Seeing them leave, Xiao He's tense body finally relaxed.
Then he realized they were standing very close to each other.
Xiao He immediately let go of Qiao Ying and took half a step back. But somehow, he stopped and didn't move back, maintaining that distance between them.
Xiao He lowered his eyes and gazed at her.
The late summer night air felt a little stuffy.
The next moment, he was pushed away by Qiao Ying.
Xiao He stood there stiffly and awkwardly, not saying a word.
Qiao Ying walked back.
Xiao He followed behind her.
Without following Qiao Ying to catch up on lessons, when they walked out of the park, facing Qiao Ying's back, he said, "I'll go back first."
He left quickly without waiting for Qiao Ying's response.
Because of what happened that night, Xiao He had been avoiding her for the next few days. Even when they sat together to catch up on lessons, he deliberately avoided eye contact with her.
Qiao Ying didn't care, but others did.
Ever since Qiao Ying started giving Xiao He remedial lessons until now when Qin Hanyue came to see her every night, she had been tutoring Xiao He.
Even Instructor Hou who came to give Qiao Ying acupuncture was confused.
With this scene between two men and one woman, Instructor Hou's gaze and Qin Hanyue's perception were apparent.
That day,
In front of Xiao He, Qin Hanyue asked Qiao Ying directly, "Still not finished catching up?"
Qiao Ying: "Finished catching up, now teaching him computer skills."
Qin Hanyue looked at both of them. After half a day, he dropped a line, "Then keep teaching him slowly. I'll go first."
Anyone could tell that Qin Hanyue was unhappy.
Qiao Ying watched the entrance without saying a word.
Until Xiao He opened his mouth, "Sorry."
Qiao Ying looked at him with a flat tone: "What are you apologizing for?"
Xiao He tentatively said, "You and him..." Then he added on his own, "It's because of me."
Qiao Ying got up, "Remember to turn off the lights when you leave."
Xiao He also got up and called Qiao Ying back when she went upstairs.
"Qiao Ying."
Qiao Ying turned around, "Yes?"
Xiao He looked at her. He seemed hesitant and struggling before saying, "...I have something to tell you."
Qiao Ying: "You're not going to say you like me, are you?"
Xiao He was stunned for a moment, but his eyes gradually became firm.
Qiao Ying: "Can't you see I'm having an affair with Qin Hanyue? The whole Peking University knows we're a couple."
