688 Gossip

Fu Chen insisted to send Bai Xi Xi until she reached her home. The boy was worried that Jian Chi would return and make trouble for Bai Xi Xi.

Bai Xi Xi rejected him in the beginning. But seeing his insistence coupled with the fact that he had walked her home previously, Bai Xi Xi decided to agree.

Once they reached the gate, the two of them exchanged a few words before Bai Xi Xi entered the house and Fu Chen turned around to leave.

Bai Xi Xi entered the house with her mind preoccupied with Jian Chi’s matter. She was aware that Jian Chi was not happy that she had talked to Fu Chen in class. He had made it known to her when she ran into him at the staircase earlier that day.

Jian Chi was a petty man and would not accept it when there was someone better than him.

However, Bai Xi Xi could not figure out the reason Jian Chi wanted to follow her or Fu Chen.

Bai Xi Xi was too immersed in her own thought that she did not notice that her sister-in-law was watching her the moment she walked in.

Zhang Li Xue has been watching her sister-in-law for a while. Seeing the serious look on Bai Xi Xi’s face made her worry that something had happened. “Xi Xi?”

Bai Xi Xi snapped out of her trance when she heard the voice. She looked up and saw that her sister-in-law was looking at her.

.....

“Are you alright?” Zhang Li Xue asked. “You seem a little distracted.”

Bai Xi Xi flashed a smile. “No. I was just thinking about some school matters.”

Zhang Li Xue looked at her sister-in-law up and down. She felt that there was something strange about Bai Xi Xi and worry that she was facing trouble.

However, Zhang Li Xue quickly suppressed that thought away. “That’s right. Your test result came out today, right? How is it going?”

Bai Xi Xi heaved a breath of relief, thinking that her sister-in-law probably did not notice anything. “It’s alright. The result is as I have expected.” Bai Xi Xi took out the test papers from her bag and handed them over to Zhang Li Xue to look at.

Her eyes lit up. Zhang Li Xue could not help but smile each time she looked at Bai Xi Xi’s result. “Hey, good work, Xi Xi.” She leaned over to give Bai Xi Xi a hug.

Bai Xi Xi’s cheek turned slightly red. “Mmm... Thank you.”

“Hey, your brother would be happy as well when he sees this.” Zhang Li Xue stretched her hand to pat Bai Xi Xi’s head. “I will ask Auntie to cook your favorite food tonight. Hmm... Is there anything you would like to eat?”

“Sister-in-law, I like the chicken wings you made the most. It’s the best chicken wings I’ve tasted.”

Zhang Li Xue laughed upon receiving Bai Xi Xi’s praise. She was happy whenever someone complimented her chicken wings. It was a recipe that she had learned from her great-grandfather. Each time she made the chicken wings, Zhang Li Xue would always remember her great-grandfather.

Just like that, Bai Xi Xi was able to change the topic between them.

After chatting for a while, Bai Xi Xi excused herself, wanting to return to her room to rest.

Zhang Li Xue watched her sister-in-law’s retreating figure and called, “Xi Xi...”

The teenage girl paused and turned around.

Zhang Li Xue flashed her a smile and spoke, “Remember to talk to me or your brother if you ran into any trouble at school.”

Bai Xi Xi was stunned for a few seconds. Then, she flashed a smile. “Sister-in-law, I know.”

...

On the next day, Bai Xi Xi went to the school as usual.

The moment she arrived, Bai Xi Xi could not help but notice that the people around her were watching her strangely.

But each time that she turned to look at them, those students would turn around and avoid her line of gaze.

Her brow rose.

Bai Xi Xi could not help but wonder what was going on. It seemed that those students were talking about her.

After a while, Bai Xi Xi reached her class. When she appeared at the door, Bai Xi Xi could see that there were students gathered to gossip.

This should not be a strange scene. After all, her classmates seemed to enjoy gossiping too much. However, Bai Xi Xi was quick to notice that something was wrong when everyone stopped whispering when she stepped into the class.

Her instinct was not wrong. It seemed that those students were talking about her.

But, what was going on?

Bai Xi Xi acted naturally and head over to her seat. The person beside her still had not arrived.

Habitually, Bai Xi Xi took out her book to read. She planned to ignore those students who wanted to gossip about her.

Just then, her ears picked up the sound of rushed footsteps heading in her direction. Bai Xi Xi raised her head and saw that Lin Xiao Tong and Du Yao Yao were standing in front of her. The look on Lin Xiao Tong’s face did not seem very good.

“Xi Xi, are you alright?” Lin Xiao Tong asked.

“I’m fine.” Bai Xi Xi flashed her casual smile. “What’s wrong?” She gave her friends a look over and noted that they both did not take off their bags before coming to her desk.

Lin Xiao Tong panicked when she saw the nonchalant look on Bai Xi XI’s face. “Xi Xi, I’m sure that you haven’t heard the rumor, right?”

“What rumor?” Bai Xi Xi put down her book and stared at her friends. She wondered if this was related to those students who seemed to be gossiping about her earlier.

Lin Xiao Tong pulled Fu Chen’s chair and sit down. She leaned over and whispered, “There’s a rumor going on about you and Fu Chen.”

Her brow rose. “What sort of rumor?”

Lin Xiao Tong exchanged a look with Du Yao Yao. After a brief hesitation, she finally announced, “They say that you and Fu Chen are dating.”
