Chapter 215: Missing the Appointment
Jiang Xue bit her lower lip under Shen Xi’s gaze. Liu Cheng thought that Jiang Xue was so angry that she was at a loss for words. She gently held Jiang Xue’s arm, saying, "Xue’er, don’t worry. Those who are just need not fear those who are crooked. I’m sure Teacher Sun will side with us on this matter."
Jiang Xue’s following words stunned Liu Cheng. In disbelief, she cried, "Xue’er, what are you saying?"
"Liu Cheng and I were feeling hot and decided to rinse ourselves off, Teacher Sun. It had nothing to do with Shen Xi," Jiang Xue repeated.
All the students around them were in shock. No one had expected Jiang Xue to say those words.
Incredulous, Liu Cheng touched Jiang Xue’s forehead and asked, "Are you alright? Xue’er, are you saying these things because the heat has gotten to you?"
Jiang Xue batted Liu Cheng’s hand away, a touch of anger creeping into her tone, "I’m fine. After running those laps with you, I felt hot, so I sprayed some water on us for fun. Please don’t blame it on Shen Xi."
The people around them cast doubtful looks at Liu Cheng. Displeased by Jiang Xue’s deception, Liu Cheng attempted to correct her, but a warning look from the latter shut her up.
Liu Cheng was confused but could only vent her feelings in the quiet confines of her heart, complaining about the injustice Jiang Xue wanted her to swallow. Although she was trying to curry favor with Jiang Xue, it did not translate to her willingness to accept abuse willy-nilly. However, remembering the difference in their respective statuses, and her desire to climb the social ladder, Liu Cheng bit her tongue and endured.
