With a beauty in distress, seemingly about to fall into the big bad wolf’s mouth, Gao Yizhe stepped forward without hesitation to heroically rescue her. “Whether we are familiar or not, that seems to be merely your personal assumption,” Xia Er Xi deliberately elongated the ending, his beautiful black eyes looking at the stiff-faced Xin Luo. “The real facts, you can ask Xin Luo directly!”
“Xin Luo?” Upon hearing this, Gao Yizhe almost immediately sought confirmation from the person involved. Xia Er Xi let out a cold snort, his black eyes narrowing dangerously. Constantly calling her Xin Luo, it was so annoying! Was Xin Luo someone he could casually call?
“…I…” In an instant, she was completely frozen: Xin Luo momentarily didn’t know how to respond. Damn Xia Er Xi! Actually leaving this mess for her to handle. “Xin Luo!” Not hearing her denial, Gao Yizhe became even more anxious.
“I…I…”
“We are university classmates, I’m a senior three years above her. Is this clear enough?” Unable to bear her embarrassment, Xia Er Xi finally decided to help her out of the situation. “Is that so, Xin Luo?” Gao Yizhe asked uncertainly.
He is not an idiot, and of course, he could see the unusual atmosphere between them. At least after working with Xinluo for many years, he had never seen her smile so sweetly, as if she had completely let down her guard.
“Still doubting?” At the end of his patience, Xia Erxi didn’t understand why he was wasting so many words with his romantic rival. The words “romantic rival” suddenly jumped into his mind and deeply shocked his heart. He suddenly realized his reaction seemed a bit too intense… He was just short of planting a flag of ownership on Xinluo.
“Xinluo, are you and Mr. Xia really old acquaintances, and he was even your senior in university?” Gao Yizhe broke through, determined to get a definitive answer.
“…Yes, we’ve known each other for a long time,” she wanted to quietly break free from Xia Erxi’s embrace, but his large hand held her tightly.
Strange, previously Xia Erxi would have gone along with it and indicated they had just met. What was wrong with him today?
“Is that so?” Unable to hide his disappointment, Gao Yizhe looked at them in turn.
“…I understand.”
