Sun Xiaoping pushed up her black-framed glasses and whispered to Su Chan Yi, "Xiao Bing usually loves gossiping, but she’s not as bad as what people say on the school forum, right?"

Su Chan Yi obviously knew that wasn’t what Sun Xiaoping meant; she was just accustomed to playing the good Samaritan.
