Xi Chenxiao’s focus was not entirely on her calling him hubby. After all, the more serious matter was the fact that this girl sneaked out after school instead of coming home. Xi Chenxiao would not be easily distracted by only a few words. He put his arm around Su Jin’s waist and pulled her close as he said plainly,
“Don’t change the subject. You didn’t come home after school. What were you up to?”
When Su Jin heard this, she knew that there was no way she could hide today. After all, not coming home after school was a serious matter, but she could not tell Xi Chenxiao the truth or he might teach her a lesson. Su Jin smiled and said sweetly,
“I wasn’t up to anything. I just went to for some milk tea with my classmates!”
Xi Chenxiao didn’t believe her. Why would this girl fawn on him if she just went out for some milk tea? This didn’t sound right. Besides, Xi Chenxiao had seen the news headline and felt that it had something to do with Su Jin. Xi Chenxiao asked doubtfully,
“Is that right?”
At this moment, Su Jin was only thinking about how she could hide it from the devil. Everything else wasn’t important. She put on an innocent look without thinking and replied aggrievedly,
“Where else can I go?”
When Xi Chenxiao saw Su Jin’s reaction, he didn’t want to continue teasing anymore. He might as well ask directly and see what she would say. This matter probably had something to do with Su Jin. Xi Chenxiao used his phone to find the news headlines and pointed at the most popular one.
“This news here, it has something to do with you, right?”
Su Jin did not expect the devil to find out so quickly, but from his tone, he seemed to be suspicious and not certain. Su Jin pretended to look at the news calmly before she shook her head and said calmly,
“Not at all!”
As Su Jin said this, she tapped into the headline and read the article. She pretended to be angry as she read. To allay Xi Chenxiao’s suspicion, Su Jin added indignantly,
“I didn’t expect that these high-ranking officials would actually dare to do such a thing. If I were here, I would beat them up one by one and then chemically castrate them so that they would behave in future!”
Xi Chenxiao had some doubts initially, but as he watched Su Jin’s terrible acting, he got even more suspicious. After all, this matter was too strange, and that person’s build was too similar to Su Jin’s. Xi Chenxiao said calmly,
“Oh right, this matter, almost all the celebrities, online influencers, and some media’s Weibo have gone crazy. They have even released their own news. The main thing is, I find the build of that righteous hero everyone is looking for very similar to yours!”
Su Jin was secretly speechless when she heard this. She did not expect Xi Chenxiao to have such keen observation that he noticed the similarity in build. But she could not admit to this matter. Su Jin continued to feign innocence as she said,
“In this world, there are people who look like me, let alone my build!”
Xi Chenxiao was even more sure that Su Jin was that person when he heard this. She was still acting innocent. If Xi Chenxiao had not looked carefully, he might have been fooled too. Xi Chenxiao replied nonchalantly,
“Really? But the movements and moves are almost identical!”
Most importantly, these movements and moves were taught to Su Jin by Xi Chenxiao himself. If she was taught by anyone else, she wouldn’t have mastered them in such a short time even if she was talented.
Su Jin didn’t know what to say. After all, he had already noticed it; it was probably pointless if she defended herself adamantly, but she couldn’t admit it. Su Jin was silent for a moment until she found a random excuse and said,
“Really? No matter how I look at it, they just seem to be random moves. Are you seeing things?”
Xi Chenxiao did not expect the girl to be so stubborn. He had already spelt it out, yet she refused to admit it. There’s no way he would let her get away with this. Xi Chenxiao looked at the skittish Su Jin and said calmly,
“Oh? That’s strange. Even the clothes look familiar to me!”
Su Jin knew that Xi Chenxiao had already concluded that it was her, but she did not want to admit it. Once she admitted it, the devil would have people watch over her in future, and she would have to come home immediately after school every day. Su Jin quickly touched her stomach and said to Xi Chenxiao in a spoiled manner,
“Hubby, I’m hungry. Let’s go eat, okay?”
