Chapter 489: Chapter 488: Don’t Need to Go to Class?

"This..."

Xiao Yi was instantly dumbfounded. From Zeng Xiaomei’s expression, he had already sensed her anger, yes, it was anger. She was furious with him, but... he really couldn’t figure out what he had done wrong to offend Zeng Xiaomei.

Not only had he not offended her, but it seemed that not long ago, he had just healed her wounds, although he hadn’t left his name, hadn’t let her know... But he truly hadn’t offended her, nor had he done anything illegal. Why was she so angry at him?

The expression on his face became increasingly awkward...

"Don’t you have classes today? Is G University really that relaxed? Do you never need to attend classes?"

Seeing the extremely awkward and embarrassed look on Xiao Yi’s face, coupled with some surprise and confusion, Zeng Xiaomei finally realized that her behavior just now might have been a bit too exaggerated.

At the same time, she began to feel a wave of regret.

Why was she so tense?

Why did she have to go up and call out to this boy?

This boy had no real connection to her; the only relationship was that he was her sister’s classmate, and that was all. His background had already determined that his relationship with her sister could only be that of classmates, nothing more, nothing deeper.

For such a person, why should she be so tense?

Whether he turned into a dragon or a snake, what did it have to do with her? Even if he skipped classes every day, neglected his studies, or even, like many other youths, took a path to ruin, that was still for his parents, his relatives to worry about and manage, for the teachers at G University to handle.

His life, in the end, was his own responsibility. All the mistakes he made now would have to be paid for by himself in the future.

It was all that Li’s fault. If it weren’t for Li causing so many problems, her mood wouldn’t be so bad, and she wouldn’t have lost her composure, Zeng Xiaomei thought to herself, snorting coldly in her heart and clenching her fist tightly.

But none of this showed on her face, as she slightly relaxed her expression, yet her tone still maintained a cold, authoritative air.

"Uh... this afternoon, there’s something, so..."

Hearing Zeng Xiaomei’s words, Xiao Yi then realized that Zeng Xiaomei was angry because of this matter. Remembering that Zeng Xiaomei had also encountered it a few times before, it seemed that he had agreed to study hard in the future. The color on his face instantly turned a bit red.

A sense of guilt also inevitably arose in his heart.

Although he didn’t quite understand why Officer Zeng seemed to care so much about him, but come to think of it, after all, he did feel somewhat guilty for not appreciating Officer Zeng’s kindness.

Although he indeed had something to handle today, having run into that woman, even if he hadn’t met that woman, Xiao Yi himself hadn’t planned to attend classes, and recently, he really had been skipping classes a bit too much.

"It seems you really do have quite a bit on your plate," she said.

Initially feeling somewhat guilty and thinking she might have displaced her anger onto Xiao Yi because of other matters, making him the scapegoat, Zeng Xiaomei, upon hearing Xiao Yi’s words, didn’t know why but suddenly felt an inexplicable surge of anger and couldn’t help but reveal a sneering expression.

What she hated the most was people who always found various excuses. Every police officer working under her knew this, so they had learned never to make excuses, whether they were in the wrong or late, and instead directly admitted their mistakes and accepted their punishment.

Moreover, in her opinion, how could a student like Xiao Yi, who had traveled from the mountains to study at a university in G City, have so many matters to attend to? What could possibly be more important than his studies? How many matters were worth skipping class for?

"Uh... this... quite a few," he admitted awkwardly.

Xiao Yi could clearly see the mocking look on Zeng Xiaomei’s face. Feeling slightly embarrassed, he spoke, then couldn’t help touching his nose and inwardly smiled bitterly. It seemed that although he hadn’t been in G City for long, his troubles had indeed grown.

"Junior Sister, what are you doing here?"

When Zeng Xiaomei heard Xiao Yi actually admitting he had many issues and seemed to be getting slicker, a fire of anger instantly flared up in her heart. She was about to speak again, to teach Xiao Yi a lesson with some sarcastic remarks, but before she could say anything, she heard a somewhat muffled voice from behind.

Upon hearing this voice, Zeng Xiaomei no longer cared about Xiao Yi, who was standing opposite her. She turned her head immediately toward the direction of the sound.

The moment she turned her head, she failed to notice the change in Xiao Yi’s expression as he stood opposite her. At the sound, his face changed, and his head, which had been held up even in the face of embarrassment, suddenly dropped.

"Senior Brother, are you done with your tasks?" she asked, managing a slight smile as she looked at the newcomer.

The person before her was her fellow disciple, Situ Qingfeng—an awe-inspiring figure.

She had originally come here with Situ Qingfeng, but he had gone to make a phone call nearby and asked her to wait here for him. Feeling upset and bored, she had been pacing back and forth when she unexpectedly encountered Xiao Yi.

That was the genesis of their earlier exchange.

"Yes," Situ Qingfeng nodded slightly, then looked at Zeng Xiaomei with a hint of surprise. "Who were you talking to just now?"

As he spoke, his curious gaze shifted past Zeng Xiaomei, trying to see who had been speaking with her, but it appeared that the person had completely overlapped behind Zeng Xiaomei, which piqued his curiosity even more.

"Oh, I just ran into an acquaintance and exchanged a few words. Hehe, Senior Brother, if you’re done, let’s go... Huh? Xiao Yi, why are you looking down?"

Zeng Xiaomei, oblivious to Situ Qingfeng’s strange gaze, casually answered and was about to say a few words to Xiao Yi to bid him farewell before leaving. She had never considered introducing Xiao Yi and Situ Qingfeng to each other. In her view, they were people from entirely different worlds. Situ Qingfeng’s world, even more remote than hers, made an introduction unnecessary; there would never be any interaction between them. (To be continued.
