The students listening in on the conversation cast curious looks at the pair. They, too, were very eager to know if Shen Xi had ten lovers.
Shen Xi responded sarcastically, "Jiang Xue, you more than anyone else should know whether the rumours are true. Why are you feigning concern now?"
All eyes turned to Jiang Xue upon hearing Shen Xi's words. From how Shen Xi put things, it sounded like Jiang Xue knew the truth. Moreover, she probably had a part to play in the matter.
Jiang Xue schooled her expression and asked doubtfully, "Xixi, what do you mean? How could I be privy to your private life? I may be your roommate, but that doesn't mean I pry into your affairs. I ask simply because you haven't been returning to our dorm these few nights, and I'm worried for you. I know nothing else."
Whispered words circulated among the crowd of eavesdropping students. They never thought Shen Xi would be so bold as to stay out at night without returning to the dorms.
