After Transmigration, The Male Lead and I had a HE

Chapter 175

Xie Xinglin was originally in a somewhat unpleasant mood because he had just failed in his blatant seduction. Now listening to her ambiguous words, although he knew she didn’t mean it like that, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly and he lazily said to her, “Then, you have to work hard. I’ll wait for you.”

After a pause, his gaze turned back to her and he added with a bit of a deeper meaning, “After all, if it’s you, I don’t mind being on the bottom for the time being.”

Su Qiuge originally thought Xie Xinglin would sneer at her, she never thought he would actually encourage her.

When she was halfway through the problem, she finally realized that there seemed to be something wrong with what he said. But by now, Xie Xinglin wasn’t paying attention to her anymore, he was looking down and writing weekend papers.

However, now Su Qiuge was inwardly shocked. While carefully analyzing the meaning of these words again, she recalled the image of him approaching to kiss her almost right after the power went out a few minutes ago.

Just what did he mean by that?

Is it what she thought it meant?

The very terrible and frightening thought that had crossed her mind before popped up again.

This, this, this…

He couldn’t really be interested in her, could he?

After this idea came up again, Su Qiuge’s inner thoughts gradually became somewhat complicated.

Just putting “Xie Xinglin”, “like”, and her together in the same sentence made her feel weird and it was odd no matter how she looked at it.

Of course, because of the feelings of surprise, fear and panic that swept through her heart, she didn’t realize that deep inside, there was also a flutter of joy.

After a while, the waves of ups and downs her heart was feeling disappeared again. She lowered her eyes, and the whole person suddenly seemed a little lonely.

It was because she remembered the plot of the original book.

In the book, a girl like Lin Luoyu, who was outstanding in all aspects, relentlessly chased after him for a long time but still didn’t capture the man.

So, he would have to be blind to be interested in her now, right?

Lin Luoyu is much better than she is, isn’t she?

Not to mention their (SQ + XX) daily lives, all she could remember was them quarreling with each other. In fact, there were almost no warm greetings between them.

Just the fact that he didn’t want to strangle her to death was already good.

Thinking of this, Su Qiuge blinked.

It was all Xie Xinglin’s fault for acting so weird recently, it made her come up with this completely unrealistic and ridiculous idea.

The longer she’s been in contact with Xie Xinglin, the more she felt like this person was very difficult to move.

Compared with other students this age, he’s already experienced way more than his peers and has even partly integrated into society. Unlike typical boys at this age whose heartstrings are easily struck, his uniqueness and unwillingness to owe anything to others made him quite unlikely to fall for anyone.

Because even she clearly knew that when you like someone, you are giving others the chance to hurt and dominate you.

Naturally, he must also know that.

And how can a proud person like him bow his head to anyone?

Besides…

She seems like a careless person on the surface, but she’s actually an extremely insecure person.

If possible, she wants her future spouse to just be an ordinary person like herself.

They don’t have to be excellent or good-looking, just as long as they’re faithful and attentive. And as long as he only needs and belongs to her, and her alone.

Naturally, it’s a good move to be friends with a man like Xie Xinglin who will reach his peak sooner or later, but having him as a partner…

She might feel very stressed and pressured.

After thinking about all this, Su Qiuge smacked her lip.

Her mind really drifted.

After thinking about it so much and dwelling on it for so long, all she could think was that maybe Xie Xinglin wasn’t actually interested in her at all.

The basketball competition, or the battle of dignity, that was previously spread throughout the experimental school, kicked off this month.

Why was it related to dignity? Well because when the two classes insisted on fighting to death, they had decided that whoever loses the game has to wear women’s clothes.

The Class 12’s sports committee launched a vote on the school forum, and the outfit with the highest popularity was the maid costume.

After this matter was settled, every day after school, one could see people from Class 1 and Class 12 on the basketball court.

There were a few basketball matches before, but they were with other classes. Su Qiuge didn’t go to watch any of them, but she knew they played quite fiercely. And sadly, Tang Jie seemed to be injured.

It was a rare scene, but Su Qiuge took a moment to comfort him about this.
