Jiao Chen smiled when he heard it. He then looked at her seriously.
"Su Yue."
Su Yue nodded. "Mm."
Jiao Chen said, "You should explain that nothing happened between us."
"What you mean is…" Something flashed across her mind and her eyes widened. "You… You mean that Teacher Zheng thinks we had sex, and because of that I didn't sleep well? Was that why he blamed you?"
F*ck. Such wretched and profound logic—how would she have known?
Jiao Chen pressed his lips together. Silence meant consent.
Su Yue lowered her head and pursed her lips. She frowned and kept silent.
They walked side to side. Jiao Chen turned to look at her. She seemed troubled. He asked in confusion, "Su Yue, what's wrong?"
"Jiaojiao, do you like me?" Su Yue asked, peering up at him.
Jiao Chen meditated in silence before answering plainly. "I'll like you when you like me."
