Just as they were about to ask something else, they heard footsteps approaching.
The two of them couldn’t help but turn their heads to look.
They saw the vice president of the student council, Qi Changping, leading people in their direction.
Their faces immediately turned grim.
Jiang Peiqin frowned, "Looks like this person has quite a lot of tricks up their sleeve."
She didn’t clarify, but Xinyan understood her meaning.
The incident between Jiang Peiqin and Li Yutong must have spread out by now and surely reached this person’s ears.
It seems like they’re trying to get close to the powerful backing behind Jiang Peiqin, but they’re too eager and come across as obnoxious.
However, Xinyan didn’t understand; was it her own allure?
Xinyan guessed it right.
Qi Changping had looked into Xinyan’s background and seeing she was from East Province, assumed that all girls were the same and could be easily courted with a bit of flattery.
Unfortunately, he was overly confident.
Xinyan and Jiang Peiqin exchanged a glance, then got up in unison and quickly walked away in the opposite direction.
Qi Changping’s hand was just reaching out, and he was about to greet them when he saw the two, who were just speaking, already walking away.
His face instantly turned sour.
Behind him, his follower Liu Jianxing wondered, "Why did they leave?"
Then quietly added, "They probably didn’t notice us coming over."
Another follower raised a hand and smacked Zhan Mandong, "Are you blind? They clearly saw us coming and then got up to leave."
Liu Jianxing was a bit stunned, "But they don’t even know Brother Qi."
As soon as he said this, he realized that although they didn’t know Qi Changping, they had seen the two of them: "You mean to say, they left because they saw us coming?"
Zhan Mandong, used to him being a step slower than others, simply snorted and ignored him.
He looked towards Qi Changping, "Those two really have no regard for us."
Qi Changping was quite good at keeping up appearances, "It’s alright, maybe they just didn’t see us. We’ll find another chance."
Though he spoke so casually, a ruthless look flashed across his eyes.
Xinyan and Jiang Peiqin didn’t care what Qi Changping thought; after walking far away, Jiang Peiqin turned to Xinyan, "You’d better not go out alone in the future."
After saying this, she glanced at Xinyan’s petite figure, "Forget it, just call me when you want to go out."
Xinyan, knowing she was worried for her, smiled lightly, "Don’t worry, if he dares to pull anything stupid, who knows who’s going to be the unlucky one then?"
Jiang Peiqin hadn’t expected Xinyan to say that, "I’m telling you, don’t take him lightly. I’ve seen Qi Changping before, and he’s no good. He’s super opportunistic, a real scoundrel."
Xinyan looked up at Jiang Peiqin, "You know him?"
Jiang Peiqin nodded gently, "His father used to be on the district revolutionary committee. After spending a short time in rural labor, he was recommended to Jing University."
Now Xinyan understood, he was one of those worker-peasant-soldier students.
But Xinyan had her own matters to attend to. To reassure Jiang Peiqin, she extended her hand, "Come on, shake hands."
Jiang Peiqin didn’t grasp the meaning at first, thinking Xinyan wanted to thank her, so she extended her hand and shook Xinyan’s.
As soon as they were gripping hands, force was applied. She quickly reacted and started squeezing back.
But Xinyan’s strength was not something an ordinary person could match, not to mention Jiang Peiqin was just a girl.
