BXBX NOVEL Chapter 55 - 55: Who Do You Want to Marry?
Bai Xianyu turned around and was met with a pair of long, narrow, and slightly raised peach blossom eyes. The black color in those eyes tumbled, making it impossible to guess his thoughts.
She was obviously stunned for a moment. Xie Xingyun glanced at her calmly and opened the rice paper without looking sideways.
Didn’t he go to the Imperial College to prepare for the imperial examination? Why did he appear here?
However, Bai Xianyu did not take the initiative to ask him. Many people in the Academy turned to look at the two of them curiously.
She sat up straight and started reading without looking sideways like Xie Xingyun.
During lunch, Bai Xianyu was eating when she heard someone talking about her and Xie Xingyun.
“…Do you think it’s true? 1 think it should be true!”
“That’s right. Look, the Young Marquis isn’t even going to the Imperial College anymore. He’s preparing for the exam here. Isn’t he here for Bai Xianyu?”
“I think Bai Xianyu pestered him to come. He definitely didn’t take the initiative.”
Bai Xianyu,”…”
She had heard a lot of such talk in her previous life, but she thought that it was already very good to meet someone she liked. She pursued Xie Xingyun and did not care what others said.
However, the trajectory was clearly different from her previous life. Why did these rumors still exist?
Just as she was thinking, Green Pearl’s voice sounded. “Greetings, Young Marquis.”
Bai Xianyu had an ominous feeling. From the corner of her eye, she saw a black clothing. Then, Xie Xingyun sat down beside her.
She could vaguely feel the commotion around her getting louder and louder.
Xie Xingyun was calm. Xiao Zheng took out a few dishes from the lunch box and placed them on the table.
“Can you… eat somewhere else?”
The man raised his eyes and looked at her indifferently. “…No.”
Bai Xianyu bit her lip. He must have done it on purpose. The news of the two of them walking along the streets that day had spread throughout the city, and it was still at the center of the storm.
She stood up decisively and went to the table next to her.
Green Pearl quickly moved the dishes to that table.
But before she could finish eating, Xie Xingyun kicked the chair opposite her away and sat down. He even stopped eating and just stared at her face quietly.
Bai Xianyu felt uncomfortable under his gaze. She finished her meal in a few bites, leaving Green Pearl to clear the bowls and chopsticks.
In the afternoon, when the teacher was in class, Xie Xingyun looked at her as if he was possessed.
Bai Xianyu would sometimes pretend to look at him fiercely, but the young man only raised his eyebrows and did not speak.
What was he looking at… Could it be that there was something dirty on her face?
When school was finally over, Bai Xianyu immediately wanted to leave, but someone suddenly grabbed her hand.
She widened her eyes and signaled Xie Xingyun to let go.
But not only did he not let go, he tightened his grip.
“Xie Xingyun, what exactly do you want?” Bai Xianyu lowered her voice.
After everyone left, Xie Xingyun closed his eyes and said, “I don’t want to do anything. It’s just that someone doesn’t even look at me and is still avoiding me…”
He suddenly leaned close to her ear. “Are you guilty of having done something?”
Bai Xianyu’s ear felt a little numb, and she leaned back to keep a distance from him. “1 don’t have a guilty conscience. Young Marquis, you and 1 are both unmarried. Now that rumors are spreading all over the city, even if you’re not worried about whether you could find a wife, I still have to worry about whether 1 could get married or not.”
Xie Xingyun’s lips curled up slightly. He looked like he was smiling, but the smile was not from the bottom of his heart. “Marry? Who do you want to marry?”
For some reason, Bai Xianyu instinctively sensed that the man in front of her was a little dangerous..
