Chapter 38 - Developments (1/2)

When both Gu Yue and Huang Yu finally left the room, it had been almost an hour since they had entered it.

They opened the room door, only to see something they didn't expect to see.

Xu Xiaoyan was standing at the doorway with her hands cupping one ear.

Xu Xiaoyan, who was Gu Yue's roommate, had deigned not to enter the hotel room, knowing that it wasn't good for her to barge in during that time. However, she being a gossipy person by nature, tried to listen in to their conversation.

Unfortunately for her, when she had tried to listen in, the main conversation had already been done so she didn't hear anything.

Xu Xiaoyan, noticing that the door had been opened and the two people standing in front of her, let out a nervous chuckle as she stiffly turned her head to the both of them.

When the both of them raised their eyebrows at the same time from her action, Xu Xiaoyan couldn't handle it any more and just bolted.

Watching her run away, Huang Yu couldn't help but laugh. ”Is she always like this?”

”Most of the time.” Gu Yue laughed softly as well.

Huang Yu shifted his gaze from where Xu Xiaoyan had gone before turning back to Gu Yue. ”I'll be going back to my room now ok?”

”Mm.” Her voice was soft and gentle as she replied.

”There's still a few more days before the competition ends. Let's hang out for a bit during that time ok?”

”Of course.”

Meanwhile, Xu Xiaoyan, who had run away from the two strongest students of class zero, ran into Xie Xie as she made her escape.

Xie Xie, seeing her distress couldn't help but ask her aloud, ”Hey, what's wrong? Why are you running?”

”I offended Huang Yu and Gu Yue!!” she replied frantically.

Xie Xie's eyes widened, ”How?! And why did you do something so dumb?! Even though I dare to offend Gu Yue sometimes, Huang Yu's a completely different beast! You idiot!”

Xu Xiaoyan clasped both sides of her head. ”I couldn't help it! The two of them were in a room together alone, and you know what happens when two people, especially a boy and a girl, get together in a room!”

A look of astonishment appeared on Xie Xie's face. Wasn't this girl a bit too imaginative.

”You do know that we're like ten right? I don't think any of us can even get it up right now…”

”Eh?” Xu Xiaoyan seemed dumbfounded at Xie Xie's words. ”What do you mean, get it up?”

”Huh? Wait, if that wasn't what you were talking about, then what did you mean when you said the two of them together in a room?”

Xu Xiaoyan looked at him weirdly. ”I meant that they would– wait a minute…” A mischievous smile suddenly appeared on her face, ”Were you thinking that…”

Xie Xie blushed slightly.

”BIG SIS GU YUE WAS RIGHT! YOU ARE A PERVERT!” Xu Xiaoyan shouted loudly!

Her loud voice travelled through the air as more or less everyone in the surroundings heard it.

All the women in the area seemed to throw a disdainful look at Xie Xie hearing this.

'It's not my fault you spoke so ambiguously…'
