"Angry, angry."
On the other end of the phone, Xu Xu saw that she didn't speak for a long time and didn't hang up, so he called her a few times.
"Hmm?" Qiao Chen came back to his senses, and when he called again, he was much calmer: "What's the matter?"
Xu Xu said awkwardly: "Well... I was still in class. I sneaked out. I have to go back quickly, otherwise Lao Liu will definitely scold me if he finds out that I haven't been back yet."
Qiao Chen's eyes revealed contempt. He didn't take her situation seriously. He pretended to care and said, "Oh, there's one more thing I want to ask you. Did you check Weibo yesterday? The Weibo that Zhuiguang certified, she reposted Xue Ziang's statement and tagged Jiang Li, saying that Jiang Li was her brother. Did the school get the news?"
She suspected that Zhuiguang was Qiao Nian, but it was just an idea and she had no direct evidence.
Xu Xu asked in confusion: "What kind of news was leaked?"
Sometimes Qiao Chen looked down on her stupid brain, so she patiently said softly, "Whose voice is chasing the light?"
"Isn't Jiang Li Qiao Nian's brother? He even came to our school. Zhui Guang also said that she is Jiang Li's sister. Didn't the people in Class A mention this?"
Xu Xu shook her head subconsciously, then remembered that she couldn't see it, and quickly said, "No. I haven't heard anyone mention this. Chenchen, are you saying that Qiao Nian is chasing the light? Uh, no way? If she is chasing the light, why don't you say it."
Qiao Chen saw that she was the kind of person who knew nothing, so he didn't say anything further. He lowered his eyes, hiding the uneasiness deep in his eyes, and changed the subject: "Aren't you going to class? Go quickly, or you will be scolded by the teacher."
Xu Xu had been out for quite a while, and was afraid of being questioned by the teacher when she returned. Even though he wanted to talk to her more, he didn't dare to waste time.
"Then I'll go back first."
Qiao Chen knew how to win people's hearts, and said softly: "Thank you, Xu Xu. I will treat you to a meal when I return to Raocheng."
"Aren't we friends? What's the big deal? You don't have to be polite to me." The girl's voice was cheerful and light, and then she said with worry: "I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going back."
"Bye."
Qiao Chen hung up the phone and put it down. She put on her makeup in front of the mirror and saw the text message Xu Xu sent her.
[Chenchen, congratulations on winning the gold medal. I forgot to tell you on the phone just now. I knew you were better than that Qiao Nian!]
Qiao Chen replied with a perfunctory thank you with an expressionless face, then threw the phone back into her handbag, put on her lipstick proudly, and returned to the box where Wei Ling and the others were.

When Xu Xu returned to the classroom, a class had just ended. The bell rang and she was called to the office by her chemistry teacher.
She followed the teacher with her head down all the way. When she passed Class A, she remembered what Qiao Chen asked her on the phone, and couldn't help but stretch her neck to look at Class A's classroom...
The class just ended.
The teacher left the classroom holding a water cup in one hand and a textbook in the other. The class immediately scattered like birds and beasts, some going to the toilet and some looking for someone in their seat.
She tiptoed to look towards the back of the classroom and was relieved to see that Qiao Nian's seat was still empty.
Just then the chemistry teacher turned around and saw her looking around, and said something to her unhappily.
Xu Xu didn't dare to look around and followed the steps going to the office step by step.
…
In Class A.
Shen Qingqing saw her looking around outside the classroom for someone.
