Chapter 28

"Xiao Wu is in a relationship, and her boyfriend is actually Qin Xuan!"

"Really? That's impossible. Where did you get this information?"

"I saw it with my own eyes. Xiao Wu went to find Qin Xuan, and when they were talking, Xiao Wu's face turned red. How can this not be a relationship?"

The entire school was abuzz with gossip, and within a day, the news of Xiao Wu and Qin Xuan's relationship was almost known to everyone.

In the tense and suffocating atmosphere before the college entrance exam, this news was like a bomb, causing a stir in the school.

Xiao Wu and Qin Xuan in a relationship? How could this be possible?

To them, Xiao Wu was like a goddess who could only be admired from a distance. She always had the same expression, regardless of whether it was a man or a woman. Even Lu Yunfan, who had pursued Xiao Wu for over two years, had never received any attention from her.

How could Xiao Wu be interested in Qin Xuan, who came from a family with no power or influence, was not handsome, and had just been dumped by Mu Xuer?

It was simply a fairy tale, something that could never happen.

This was the second time Qin Xuan had become a celebrity in the high school. The first time was when he and Mu Xuer confirmed their relationship, but at that time, many people knew about the bet between Xiao Wu and Mu Xuer, so they only laughed in secret.

This time was different. The heroine had changed to Xiao Wu, who was not like Mu Xuer. Moreover, there was no bet this time.

"This can't be true!" Someone clenched their fists and muttered, dazed and disoriented.

Xiao Wu, of course, had heard these rumors. Just from the gossip, doubt, and surprise in the eyes of her classmates during class, she could feel it.

However, this did not matter to her, and it did not cause any ripples in her heart.

As for Qin Xuan, it was even more so.

As the main character in this storm, he quietly read his book in the classroom, unaffected by the murderous gazes around him. It seemed that nothing could shake his focus on studying.

In fact, Qin Xuan no longer needed to read these textbooks; he was just bored and passing the time.

"Qin Xuan!"

Meng De's voice was very low, calling out cautiously.

"What's up?"

Qin Xuan turned around, his expression as calm as always.

"Are you really in a relationship with Xiao Wu?"

Meng De's eyes sparkled. "When did you make your move? Oh my God, she's the top beauty in our high school."

His face was full of envy and jealousy. Qin Xuan had already been in a relationship with Mu Xuer, and now even Xiao Wu couldn't escape his charm. He was truly a master at dating!

But thinking about Qin Xuan's behavior at the TK bar, Meng De felt that Qin Xuan and Xiao Wu were a good match... at least, their expressions and auras were becoming more similar. Xiao Wu had a touch of etherealness, while Qin Xuan had a touch of steadiness.

"No!" Qin Xuan closed his book and put his hands on his head. "Xiao Wu and I are not a good match."

"Not a good match?" Meng De was taken aback. For some reason, he felt a sudden relief upon hearing that Qin Xuan and Xiao Wu were not together.

Otherwise, it would be too discouraging.

He thought Qin Xuan was saying he didn't deserve Xiao Wu, so he couldn't help but console him with some regret. "Qin Xuan, don't be sad. A good girl will come to you eventually."

Qin Xuan smiled faintly, not responding.

Xiao Wu was indeed excellent, but he was the Green Emperor of the Immortal Realm. The Xiao family, which Xiao Wu belonged to, was nothing more than a speck of dust to him.

Moreover, he knew very well that a woman as devoted to Buddhism as Xiao Wu would have no interest in romantic relationships.

For the entire day, Qin Xuan faced the envious, jealous, and hateful gazes of the male students, but he seemed to ignore them all.

Until after school, a graceful figure appeared at the classroom door.

"Xiao Wu!"

Before Qin Xuan could react, the class was already in chaos.

Xiao Wu was actually waiting for Qin Xuan to finish school?

Could it be that the rumors were true?

If it was just a rumor before, now many people were convinced that the two were really together.

In a moment, countless boys were pounding their chests in frustration, even wishing to kill Qin Xuan.

"What are you doing here?"

Qin Xuan was indifferent to the gazes around him and walked out of the classroom with a faint smile.

Xiao Wu pursed her lips slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then said softly, "This Buddhist scripture is too valuable. I should return it to you."

Qin Xuan smiled and walked down the corridor.

Xiao Wu followed slowly and said, "I thought about it for a long time. Since we don't have much of a relationship, it's best to return this Buddhist scripture to you."

Qin Xuan paused, turned to look at Xiao Wu, and said, "Return it to me? I don't have the habit of taking back what I've given. If you don't want it, just throw it away."

"Qin Xuan!"

Xiao Wu's face was a bit anxious. How could she bear to throw away such a precious Buddhist scripture?

"This Buddhist scripture means nothing to me," Qin Xuan said calmly. "If you..."

Before he could finish, he paused and a faint smile appeared on his face.

A figure blocked his and Xiao Wu's path.

Lu Yunfan!

Many people had already been paying attention to the two school celebrities, Xiao Wu and Qin Xuan. When they saw Lu Yunfan, they all wore expressions of schadenfreude.

"Haha, Xiao Wu is Lu Yunfan's taboo. Qin Xuan is asking for it. He's definitely in for a rough time."

"From the looks of it, Lu Yunfan is probably going to cause trouble for Qin Xuan. Hehe, how can Qin Xuan compete with Lu Yunfan for Xiao Wu?"

"Exactly, I bet Qin Xuan will run away in fear."

Who was Lu Yunfan? His background was so deep that even the principal had to give him a wide berth. Qin Xuan and Lu Yunfan were incomparable. As predicted, Lu Yunfan would not let this go, and it happened sooner than expected.

"Qin Xuan!"

Lu Yunfan's face was so dark it could almost drip with water. Everyone in the high school knew that Xiao Wu was his girl.

Previously, when Qin Xuan and Xiao Wu were somewhat close, he never took it seriously.

This time was different. The entire school was already spreading the news. Even if he was sure that Qin Xuan and Xiao Wu could not be together, the rumors alone were enough to make him furious.

"What's up?"

Qin Xuan put his hands in his pockets and looked at Lu Yunfan indifferently.

"I'm warning you, stay away from Xiao Wu." Lu Yunfan took a deep breath, glanced at Xiao Wu out of the corner of his eye, and suppressed his inner impulse.

Qin Xuan smiled and glanced at Lu Yunfan.

"What are you to Xiao Wu?"

"I am..." Lu Yunfan was about to speak but hesitated. "I am her friend!"

He swallowed the word "boyfriend." Lu Yunfan knew that if he said he was Xiao Wu's boyfriend in front of her, it would only make her more repulsed.

"So, you're just a friend!" Qin Xuan's voice was heavy, and Lu Yunfan's fists clenched involuntarily.

Qin Xuan's expression gradually turned cold, and a hint of dominance flashed in his eyes.

"Since you're just a friend, what does it matter to you whether Xiao Wu and I are close?"

"Do you know who you are to speak to me like that?"

"Even if Xiao Wu and I are really in a relationship, what can you do?"

Qin Xuan took his left hand out of his pocket and directly grabbed Xiao Wu's right hand.

Xiao Wu's hand was soft and a bit cold, feeling almost boneless. However, Qin Xuan did not pay much attention to this. In the stunned expressions of Lu Yunfan and everyone else, he pulled Xiao Wu's hand and disappeared at the school gate.

Even after he and Xiao Wu disappeared, the people around them were still in shock.

Qin Xuan actually held Xiao Wu's hand!!
