Chapter 104: Do You Like Guan Lei?
Guan Lei’s treatment of Xiang Cheng was a complete and utter humiliation, which embarrassed Jiang Xue. Fortunately, there were not many people present.
Jiang Xue surveyed their surroundings with frosty eyes. Other than Shen Xi, Guan Lei, and Zhao Yuan, there was another girl she did not recognise. That girl did not seem to be part of their class.
When Jiang Xue’s gaze landed on that girl, the girl hastily bowed her head in panic.
Amused by Jiang Xue’s posturing, Shen Xi snarked, "What’s the matter? Do you feel that Xiang Cheng has embarrassed you? Are you looking to silence anyone who’s seen his ugly side?"
Shen Xi’s words caused the girl to jump in fright, spurring her to hide behind Guan Lei. It was a wholly involuntary reaction prompted by Guan lei’s earlier display of physical strength, a display which made her feel safe.
Seeing Xiang Cheng whip around to stare at her through slanted eyes, Jiang Xue grew angry, outraged and flustered. "Shen Xi, what nonsense are you spouting?" She growled like a savage as she attempted to deflect attention.
Suddenly, Jiang Xue snaked an arm around Xiang Cheng’s, speaking coquettishly, "Brother Xiang Cheng, don’t listen to Shen Xi’s nonsense. She can’t stand the two of us being together, so she’s doing everything she can to drive a wedge between us."
Xiang Cheng shot Jiang Xue a hard look and tried to regain his metaphorical footing in his conflict with Guan Lei, "Fights are normal. How else is one supposed to get to know another? I quite admire you. Let me treat you to a meal, and we’ll call it quits. What do you think?"
