Chapter 743: Chapter 741: Discovering His True Face 2_1

Seeing this scene, Jiang Qingchen couldn’t help but feel a surge of jealousy and displeasure in her chest.

Xu Zeming looked down, smiling gently at her, "No need, junior sister, I’m fine, not very tired."

Then he glanced at the time, oh, it was almost late, "It’s getting late, junior sister, I have to go back and review books, so I’ll take my leave first."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Zeming immediately picked up his backpack and quickly left, as if in a hurry.

Watching his retreating figure, Muxia felt disappointed, but even more, she admired him, "The senior is really diligent and eager to learn. As soon as the competition is over, he can’t wait to go home and review books, no wonder his studies are so good."

Xu Zeming’s grades ranked among the top in both his class and grade, just like Jiang Qingchen and her brother, Lu Yichuan, they were all considered the legendary children of other families!

"Ha!"

Jiang Qingchen couldn’t help but let out a sneer.

Review books?

Could he really be reviewing books?

He must be rushing home to play video games!

"He’s far away now, stop looking," Jiang Qingchen really couldn’t stand her admiring another man right in front of her, and she bit her teeth and turned her head around.

She then deliberately said, "Muxia, why are you so concerned about Xu Zeming? I remember you said your deskmate likes him. You couldn’t be thinking of stealing your deskmate’s crush, could you?"

Muxia, who had shot herself in the foot, felt both embarrassed and annoyed, very regretful for having made up this excuse, "You, you, what nonsense are you talking about? How could I be that kind of person? It was my deskmate who asked me to look after him."

By now, that was the only way she could explain.

"Then why didn’t your deskmate come herself?" Jiang Qingchen asked slowly and methodically.

Muxia stuttered, trying to find another excuse, "She’s sick today, couldn’t make it."

"Heh, that’s really quite the coincidence," Jiang Qingchen could see through her lies, but she was just too lazy to expose them.

"Yeah, coincidence..." Muxia agreed stiffly.

People really shouldn’t lie, otherwise they have to spin more lies to cover up their initial ones.

It’s just too awful!

"It’s getting late, we should hurry home. I’ll wait for you at the parking lot," speaking, Muxia immediately dashed out of the gym, as if afraid he would keep pressing her for answers.

She was not good at lying, so she was really worried about him discovering the truth.

After all, unrequited love was something truly embarrassing.

Naturally, the fewer people who knew, the better.

After returning home, Jiang Qingchen turned on his computer.

As expected, Xu Zeming who had spoken of reviewing books was currently online in the game.

Jiang Qingchen, thinking of something, suddenly curled the corner of his lips, took out his phone and sent an invitation to the girl: "Muxia, do you want to come over to my place and play games? I’ll take you to climb the ranks."

He was going to expose Xu Zeming’s lies!

Moreover, to do it right in front of her!

To thoroughly reveal this matter!

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Muxia also really liked playing this game, it was just that her skills were very poor. Now that he was offering to play with her, she eagerly nodded in agreement.

Jiang Qingchen grinned, "Then hurry over, I’m waiting for you."

"I’ll be there right away!"

Jiang Qingchen could hear the sound of the girl’s breathless running on the other end of the phone.

The game they were playing was a computer game.

You could freely choose your character, and invite friends, and the like.

Once Muxia logged into her account, Jiang Qingchen effortlessly pulled her into the room he had created.

Two other teammates were also in there.

Muxia stared and asked curiously, "Who are they? Are they your classmates?"

Jiang Qingchen was still wondering how to tell her, but she asked first. He couldn’t help but smile again, "Hmm, they are classmates, one of them is Xu Zeming."

"Xu?" Muxia was stunned upon hearing these three words, immediately denying subconsciously, "Impossible!"

Didn’t he just say he went home to review books?

How much time has passed since then, did he finish reviewing that quickly?

"If you don’t believe it, we’ll know when we turn on the mic later," said Jiang Qingchen as she directly opened the mic.

After turning it on, Jiang Qingchen added, "Xu Zeming, you take the bottom lane later."

"No problem!" A warm male voice came through the computer.

"!!!!!"

Muxia’s eyes were wide with disbelief.

But then he had a few more words with Jiang Qingchen.

Finally, Muxia could confirm that it was indeed his voice!

Wasn’t he supposed to be reviewing books!

How did it turn into gaming?

Muxia furrowed her brows.

But then she thought, maybe he got tired while reviewing and decided to play games to take a break, right?

After all, she sometimes plays on her phone while studying, too.

Thinking this way, Xu Zeming’s image in her heart was restored to its former state.

Jiang Qingchen, as if she could read minds, noticed the girl’s thoughts and then casually asked as if it were an afterthought, "Xu Zeming, didn’t you say you were going home to review books earlier?"

Immediately following in the computer came the sound of Xu Zeming scoffing, "Review what books? Am I the kind of person who loves to read? You believe such lies to trick girls, are you stupid?"

"..."

Muxia, who had been racking her brains to find excuses for him for half a day, was struck dumb!

How could he be such a person!

He had actually lied!

But then she thought, who hasn’t told a few lies in their lifetime? Didn’t she just lie herself?

Only, she hadn’t expected him to lie so fluently and nonchalantly, truly impressive!

Muxia was momentarily at a loss for words, silently playing the game, venting through it.

But she was so bad at it that she kept feeding the enemy.

Seeing her die over and over again, Jiang Qingchen frowned and moved her character next to Muxia to protect her.

"I’m playing terribly, why are you following me? You’re not getting any kills," Muxia said with a frown, glancing at him to signify he should mind his own gaming instead of hovering around her.

Her skills were usually very impressive, but now to protect her, her kill count was pitifully low.

"It’s not important," Jiang Qingchen remarked nonchalantly, not caring for the glories of the virtual world.

What mattered to him was only her safety.

Even if it was just a virtual world.

If this were ancient times, it would be the mark of an utterly incompetent ruler.

Muxia was momentarily stunned.

At this moment, Xu Zeming’s voice came through from the computer again, "Jiang Qingchen, why are you and your teammate so bad? Don’t ask me to play next round!"

He was clearly furious, yelling and banging on the table.

Jiang Qingchen didn’t utter a word, he even turned off the mic.

He thought, just keep blabbering to yourself, I don’t have time to listen!

Muxia with a crestfallen face: "..."

Damn, being rejected.

"I don’t want to play anymore either." Muxia was even more depressed, and finally, out of spite, she just quit the game outright.

Jiang Qingchen also stopped the computer, not playing anymore. He was only there to accompany her, and now that she had stopped, he naturally had no interest in continuing.
