Chapter 82: Chapter 82: Implicit Sarcasm_1
“I don’t want to share a desk with Qiao anymore.” Ye Jianian stated his wish without any hint of subtlety, expressing himself in a crude and straightforward manner.
The teacher blinked, glancing first at the ever-indifferent Qiao Xiaren, then returning her gaze to Ye Jianian, “Why?”
“I think, considering the kind of high-status person Qiao is, she must not be able to tolerate someone like me. I might as well take the initiative to move away to avoid being a nuisance,” replied Ye Jianian.
His tone was filled with clear sarcasm, detectable by anyone.
Qiao Xiaren almost burst into laughter. How did she manage to offend Ye Jianian? Was his life at risk if he did not find trouble with her?
Everybody knew that Ye Jianian’s mother was a manager of a state-owned company, and his father was some sort of bureau leader. In the art class, this was considered a high social ranking. But now he was purposely demeaning himself to aggrandize Qiao Xiaren, inevitably leading to speculation.
Teacher Li adjusted her glasses awkwardly and gave a slight cough. She knew well that Qiao Xiaren, although a promising talent, possibly ended up in this prestigious school because of someone else’s influence.
Qiao Xiaren was at a loss. Why did Ye Jianian persistently antagonize her? If he wanted to change seats, he could have privately requested the teacher. Exposing his intention in public would only stir up unnecessary discussions about her.
However, Qiao Xiaren generally ignored insignificant people, as long as their actions were not too excessive. She had too many other things to worry about to give attention to these individuals and their actions.
Teacher Li turned her gaze to Qiao Xiaren. Xiaren showed no sign of panic, and simply stood up and replied elegantly, “I have no objection.”
In fact, she didn’t want to see Ye Jianian’s hypocritical face.
Finding that both parties had no objections, Teacher Li naturally didn’t say anything, and directly let them exchange seats according to their own wishes. Ye Jianian looked at Qiao Xiaren, his eyes a bit chilly.
He started packing up his bag, as if he couldn’t stand being next to Qiao Xiaren for another second. Nobody expected Ye Jianian to start packing up his things on the spot.
This was obviously an attempt to embarrass Qiao Xiaren. Bin Xia was about to interfere but was held back by Huo Xiaoning.
It was better to keep quiet at times , especially since they had the goddess Qiao.
Ye Jianian intentionally made noise as he packed up, but Qiao Xiaren didn’t even look up. This made Ye Jianian even more frustrated, and he hastily retreated to the back row.
Earlier in the day, many boys had spotted Qiao Xiaren emerging from a luxurious car. Now, surely no boy would be willing to sit with her. Imagining the awkward scene of Qiao Xiaren sitting alone, Ye Jianian felt a wave of satisfaction.
Backpack in hand, he took a seat next to Ye Qing. Seeing the boy she admired choosing to sit with her, Ye Qing’s mood lifted, and her eyes were filled with affection.
Teacher Li adjusted her glasses, glancing around the room; she found it strange that no boys volunteered to sit with Qiao Xiaren.
The class had a rule that boys and girls must sit together.
Bai Xinran, observing the situation, stood up and looked around, “What, no boys want to sit with Xiaren? Qiao is quite a beauty. Don’t tell me none of you boys want to be seated next to a beautiful girl?”
Bai Xinran spoke loudly, obviously trying to add to Qiao Xiaren’s embarrassment.
