Jian Yiyi tried her best to remain calm and shook her head as usual. “I’m fine. I bumped into a classmate just now and said a few words.”
“Classmate? From your class?” Liao Bo asked subconsciously.
Jian Yiyi nodded and thought for a moment. She said, “Her name is Jian Ai. She has the same surname as me. But you shouldn’t know her!”
As soon as she finished speaking, Jian Yiyi’s gaze casually glanced at Liao Bo’s face, as if capturing his expression.
As expected, when he heard Jian Ai’s name, Liao Bo’s expression froze for a moment, but he immediately hid it. Liao Bo smiled and nodded. “No, I don’t know many Year Two juniors.”
At that moment, Jian Yiyi’s heart turned cold because she could see Liao Bo’s guilty conscience when he heard Jian Ai’s name.
Jian Yiyi felt uncomfortable.
In the beginning, she cared more about Liao Bo’s family background and his identity. However, after such a long time, Liao Bo’s gentleness and consideration for her had slowly touched her.
She really liked him a little now.
However, she did not expect that Liao Bo had something to do with Jian Ai.
Jian Yiyi said nothing else. She picked up the orange juice on the table and took a sip.
Liao Bo’s gaze darkened when he saw this. Then, he pretended to be indifferent and started chatting with the others.
On the other side, Jian Ai also told Qinghuan and Guan Tao about bumping into Jian Yiyi in the bathroom.
“She’s playing with Liao Bo here?” Xia Qinghuan was a little surprised. “Jian Yiyi doesn’t look like someone who would come to the club to drink? The power of love is indeed great!”
“Did the two of you talk?” Guan Tao looked at Jian Ai and asked.
Jian Ai nodded and roughly shared the content of their conversation with the two of them. In the end, she smiled. “Do you think I’m cheap? Even if I’m close to her brother, what does that have to do with her? I deserve to be scolded by her.”
That amused Xia Qinghuan. “You’re good. She and Liao Bo are a perfect match. The two of them take what they need. Why do you care how they develop?!”
Jian Ai shook her head. “I’ve learned my lesson, so I won’t be a good person anymore. This is such a valuable lesson for me.”
“Do you think Liao Bo will do anything overboard to her?” Guan Tao didn’t seem to follow their rhythm and said worriedly, “I saw on television that many people drugged alcohol and drinks. What if Liao Bo drugged Jian Yiyi?”
Jian Ai and Xia Qinghuan’s smiles froze, and they looked at each other.
“No way?” Jian Ai’s smile disappeared. Just now, she said that she wasn’t worried about Jian Yiyi, but now, she had slapped her face. She thought for a moment and muttered, “Liao Bo is the son of a high-ranking official. How would he dare to do such a thing?”
Xia Qinghuan also felt that it was impossible. “Isn’t such a thing only done by hooligans? Liao Bo is Jian Yiyi’s boyfriend now, after all. If something really wanted to happen, he wouldn’t have used such a method, right?”
Xia Qinghuan became the second person to slap her face.
The reason was simple. No matter how annoying Jian Yiyi was, they would not be indifferent if she was drugged. Xia Qinghuan did not like Jian Yiyi, but if someone drugged Jian Yiyi, she would stand up for her.
Whether or not she liked someone differed from being an upright person.
