Not knowing why he suddenly mentioned this, Shu Nian wasn’t very interested, only making a sound of acknowledgment.
“Yesterday Xu Ze Yuan and Miao Man were trending.” Xie Ru He licked his lips as if laying the groundwork for something, “They say photos of them having a private dinner were captured.”
Shu Nian looked at him, saying very seriously: “I don’t care about this.”
Xie Ru He paused, then said: “Xu Ze Yuan called me yesterday.”
Hearing this, Shu Nian’s expression finally changed: “What did he want?”
Xie Ru He: “To apologize for the offensive things he said before.”
Shu Nian thought for quite a while: “Hasn’t that been a long time ago?”
Xie Ru He’s voice was emotionless: “He said he had too many schedules before and couldn’t find time.”
Shu Nian’s expression was strange: “You shouldn’t pay attention to him.”
“Mm.”
After a while.
Xie Ru He came out with another sentence: “Later he called you.”
Shu Nian didn’t react immediately: “Huh?”
“You were sleeping at the time.” Xie Ru He’s voice was very low, “So I answered.”
“Oh.” Shu Nian thought for a moment, explaining, “He’s never called me before.”
Xie Ru He pressed his lips together, lying with a straight face.
“I forgot to tell you.”
Thinking about last night, after he answered the phone.
Xu Ze Yuan’s slightly nervous voice came from the other end: “Is this Shu Nian? This is Xu Ze Yuan.”
During the time Shu Nian had moved in, he hadn’t seen her receive any calls from Xu Ze Yuan. With the gossip that had just come out, Xie Ru He could roughly guess that Xu Ze Yuan was calling to explain this.
To explain to his girlfriend.
Thinking of this, a hint of coldness appeared in Xie Ru He’s eyes, and afraid of waking Shu Nian, he walked out of the room. He was quiet for a few seconds, then replied expressionlessly: “No.”
The two had just had a phone call not long ago, and Xu Ze Yuan immediately recognized his voice, thinking he had dialed wrong: “Teacher A He? Sorry, I dialed the wrong number…”
“You probably didn’t dial wrong.” Xie Ru He said, “What do you need? I’ll pass it on for you.”
Xu Ze Yuan’s end went quiet for a moment.
“Ah, right.” Xie Ru He’s voice paused, and then he calmly stated, “The Shu Nian you just mentioned is my girlfriend.”
