He slightly lifted his eyelids and said to her, “Su Qiuge, how come you’re everywhere?”

He kept quiet about last night’s drunkenness, as if nothing had happened.

Su Qiuge adjusted her facial expression and then said, “My friend brought me here, I also didn’t expect you…”

After Xie Xinglin heard this, he slowly spoke a sentence to her.

But the music was a little loud, so Su Qiuge couldn’t hear it clearly and said, “Ah?

XieXinglin stared at her for a moment, then moved closer and whispered into her ear, “Have you finished reviewing all the competition questions?”

Su Qiuge: “……”

It had to be said that this sentence by Xie Xinglin really made one choke.

She lowered her head and finally said, “No.”

Xie Xinglin said with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, “You haven’t even finished your homework, yet you want to learn from adults and go clubbing?”

Su Qiuge: ?

Su Qiuge seemed to be stimulated by these words as memories of being thrown out of the internet cafe in front of everyone came to mind. She bowed her head and quickly sent a WeChat message to Su Yuanzhou, then she stood up with a blank expression, “Thank you for the reminder, I will go back now to do my homework.”

When she walked out of the club, she noticed that Xie Xinglin had also followed her out.

She turned her head in a confused manner, “Don’t you have to help out in there?”

A jacket was hung on his elbow as he quietly said, “Mhm, tired.”

Su Qiuge’s mouth twitched, “You’re so casual, can you actually earn money?”

Xie Xinglin raised his eyes to look at her and said, “Why do you care so much if I can make money or not?”

Su Qiuge was silent for a moment. She hesitated for a while before opening her mouth to say, “Are you short on money?”

It was a bit difficult to travel by taxi in Qinhu, so they could only go the longer route and take the subway instead.

It was already 11 at night and the lights on the side of the road were a bit dim. Xie Xinglin followed behind her and the expression on his face was vague and indistinct.

Su Qiuge seemed to realize that the way she worded it wasn’t very good. She lowered her head, “I don’t have any motives.”

After she thought about it, she added, “I won’t tell anyone about this, including Aunt Liu.”

Xie Xinglin’s voice came from behind.

“Mhm, it’s just as you guessed.”

Su Qiuge was a little surprised, “Short of how much?”

The person from behind slowly said, “What, you want to fund me?”

Su Qiuge was silent as she thought about her own little treasury. She was about to nod her head, but suddenly felt that she was a bit similar to those older wealthy ladies who would wave a check in front of a little white face and say, “Young man, if you don’t want to work so hard anymore, come find this aunty.”

When she thought of such a scene that would cause thunder to roll, Su Qiuge’s face paled as she hurriedly explained, “This isn’t called funding…this…”

When Xie Xinglin saw her expression like this, he calmly pointed out what she was thinking in her heart, “So if you’re not funding me, then are you supporting me?”

**t/n: the ‘support’ here has the connotation of supporting/keeping a mistress

When he spoke, his complexion was calm, and the wind was light with indistinct clouds, revealing a scene of incomparable tranquility. Su Qiuge almost nodded without hearing him clearly.

After she reacted, she was shocked. But when she saw the other party being so calm, she knew he was playing with her, so she ignored it and very seriously said, “This is called investment.”

“You study so well you might become very prosperous in the future, so it’s not too late to pay me back tenfold when you are rich.”

When Su Qiuge spoke, she didn’t realize that the person behind her was getting closer and closer to her.

After what felt like half a day, the person spoke to her ear so quietly it felt like a whisper, “You’re putting such a high-interest loan on my body?”

“Hm?”

The voice was a little hoarse, with the final syllable said at a slightly higher pitch.
