Accidentally Pursued The Female Lead (GL) - Chapter 11
Because of the news that Xie Qiaoyu would go to Lu Jingchen’s side, Shen Mian’s thoughts were entirely consumed by this during the subsequent tutoring sessions.
When Xie Qiaoyu lectured and asked questions, she would only absentmindedly nod haphazardly.
At first, Xie Qiaoyu didn’t notice, but as the content became deeper and the little head beside her continued to nod up and down, appearing to understand everything, Xie Qiaoyu finally realized that Shen Mian had been zoning out for some time.
The sound of the lecture didn’t stop. Xie Qiaoyu tapped the book twice with her pen and asked, “One plus one equals three, right?”
“Right.” Two seconds after nodding and answering, Shen Mian realized something was wrong. She turned her head stiffly and looked beside her, only to see Xie Qiaoyu staring at her with a half-smile.
Xie Qiaoyu had changed her glasses today. They were gold-rimmed and frameless, and the non-prescription lenses obscured her long, curled eyelashes, incidentally making it difficult to see the true thoughts in her eyes.
All Shen Mian could see was the silent inquiry beneath Xie Qiaoyu’s beautiful eyelids.
After just one glance, Shen Mian looked away. The hair on the back of her neck stood on end because Xie Qiaoyu’s current demeanor made her feel like she had been caught sneaking snacks in high school class by the homeroom teacher.
Shen Mian felt that Xie Qiaoyu was becoming more and more like a teacher at school, and the kind of senior teacher who made students feel unapproachable just by standing there.
Xie Qiaoyu placed the pen she was holding in the spine of the book, turned her chair to face Shen Mian directly, and asked in a clear but gentle voice, “What are you thinking about?”
What was the most terrifying thing in class? Of course, it was the teacher’s sudden concern.
Shen Mian was silent.
Thinking about whether you would like him after you became a doctor and came into contact with Lu Jingchen; thinking about whether you would be with Lu Jingchen; thinking about the pain you would experience after you were together…
Thinking, if you two got together and I no longer chased after Lu Jingchen and no longer framed you because of Lu Jingchen, would I still bring down the Shen family…
Also, please don’t become his private doctor, okay?
There was too much Shen Mian wanted to say to Xie Qiaoyu, but looking at Xie Qiaoyu’s caring eyes, all the words got stuck in her throat.
Xie Qiaoyu didn’t know that her fate had been arranged; she was just an ‘ordinary person’ who knew nothing.
Shen Mian pursed her lips. “Thinking about what to eat later.”
After Shen Mian finished speaking, Xie Qiaoyu didn’t respond, but after hearing Shen Mian’s words, her left eyebrow twitched slightly.
Two minutes passed, and the only sound was the ticking of the clock on the table.
Just as Shen Mian thought she would get away with it, she heard Xie Qiaoyu slowly say, “Actually, besides finance, I also know a little psychology.”
Shen Mian, who had just lied, immediately raised four fingers to the sky. “I really didn’t lie to you!” After saying that, she was secretly speechless: she had forgotten that the person in front of her was as shrewd as the male lead, Lu Jingchen.
Xie Qiaoyu chuckled softly, automatically ignoring Shen Mian’s transparent denial. “Just wanted to tell you, if there’s anything you can’t figure out, you can talk to me. I’ll help you sort it out.”
Even if she dared to say it, Xie Qiaoyu might not believe her. She might even think that besides having psychological problems, her brain wasn’t working well either.
Shen Mian didn’t dare to talk nonsense anymore and just followed Xie Qiaoyu’s words to ask, “Does psychological counseling require additional fees?”
Xie Qiaoyu shook her head. “Two hours are included with the purchase of the finance course.”
“Teacher Xie is really good at business.” Shen Mian gave a polite smile. “But I really was just thinking about what to eat later.”
Xie Qiaoyu pushed up her glasses. “Then now, one plus one equals…”
“Two.” Shen Mian blurted out.
Looking at Shen Mian’s serious face, Xie Qiaoyu chuckled softly, turned back, picked up her pen, and said, “Listen carefully.”
Shen Mian nodded, putting all her attention into it to prevent any unexpected pop quizzes from Xie Qiaoyu.
Shen Mian saw Xie Qiaoyu tap the book twice with her pen. She understood Xie Qiaoyu’s habit; every time she talked about something important, Xie Qiaoyu would unconsciously tap twice.
Shen Mian sat up straight, just thinking that Xie Qiaoyu was about to start explaining professional knowledge when she heard the person beside her instruct again:
“Don’t think about food.”
Shen Mian: “……”
It seemed she had established a foodie persona in Xie Qiaoyu’s mind.
