In a daze, Zhang Xinyue added Qin Zhongyue as friend.

When she looked at her friends list, she squealed inside. She had actually managed to add the most handsome boy in class as friend! Qin Zhongyue who didn’t even add the class beauty Wang Yuman had actually added her!Qin Zhongyue quietly whispered to Zhang Xinyue, “Send me a copy of those. This one and this one, did you edit it?”Zhang Xinyue nodded excitedly, “I edited them all. My phone isn’t good so I can only use PS to edit it. How is it?”Qin Zhongyue, “It’s great. You managed to bring out all of Xing Xing’s good points. But this one here makes his legs look short.”Zhang Xinyue said shyly, “I took it from a bad angle and didn’t manage to do a good job.”Qin Zhongyue continued quietly, “It’s okay as long as you get a good shot of his face.”Zhang Xinyue sent him the photos and tried to get closer to him, “Qin Zhongyue, you’re very close to Xie Zhongxing. I heard he is even staying at your place?”Qin Zhongyue, “Yeah.”Zhang Xinyue said, “No wonder your grades have been improving so quickly. Xie Zhongxing has been tutoring you, hasn’t he?”Qin Zhongyue said very seriously. “Yes, he has worked very hard.”Seeing that Zhang Xinyue had finished sending the last photo over, his friendly tone immediately changed, “Alright, now you can delete those from your phone.”Zhang Xinyue, “……….”Zhang Xinyue, “?”Qin Zhongyue urged, “Hurry up! Hurry and delete it.”Zhang Xinyue said weakly, “Can’t you just let me keep them? We’re graduating. I won’t see him again in the future.”Qin Zhongyue said seriously, “Don’t you know that secretly taken photos are against the law? If you don’t delete it, the consequences will be serious.”Zhang Xinyue, “……..”How could he change his attitude so quickly?

Zhang Xinyue had no choice but to hold back her tears and delete the secretly taken photos.It’s okay. She had posted them onto the school forum. She can just go there and download them again.Just as she thought this, Qin Zhongyue suddenly asked, “You don’t have a backup saved anywhere, do you? Or you have them posted somewhere?”Zhang Xinyue, “…..”Qin Zhongyue could see through her. He threatened, “I was right? Delete it all or I’ll call the police.”Zhang Xinyue, “……”“We’re all classmates, do you have to be like this?” Zhang Xinyue argued weakly.Qin Zhongyue took out his phone and searched up the legal implications associated with secretly taking photos of others. He read it out loud with passion and then said to Zhang Xinyue, “We’re classmates so I’m giving you a chance. Hurry. I’ll forgive you if you delete it.”Zhang Xinyue had no choice but to log into the forum with teary eyes.Qin Zhongyue saw that she had tapped open a post with more than 2000 replies. He was speechless, “You have been posting Xie Zhongxing’s photos?!”Zhang Xinyue panicked, “I didn’t mean it. I just felt that Xie Zhongxing is very good looking and wanted more people to know about him.”Qin Zhongyue’s face fell. He wasn’t happy seeing Xie Zhongxing’s photo spreading everywhere. Only he can see Xie Zhongxing!“Hurry and delete it!” Qin Zhongyue urged.The posts on the school forum could be deleted by the poster themselves. Zhang Xinyue looked at the long forum with more than 2000 replies and could feel her heart bleeding.Seeing that she had deleted it, Qin Zhongyue nodded with satisfaction, and asked again, “Any backups saved on your computer?”Zhang Xinyue could only shake her head, “No, I borrowed my older sister’s computer.”

Qin Zhongyue’s tone softened again, “Thank you for your cooperation. Your editing skills are not bad. You should consider going down that path in the future as your career. Good luck, I’m sure you’ll do well.”Zhang Xinyue, “…...”Qin Zhonyue turned around with satisfaction but suddenly remembered Xie Zhongxing. He furrowed his brows, “Why isn’t he back yet?”His feet turned and he went towards the toilets.Zhang Xinyue placed her hands onto her chest. She felt like she was about to suffocate. But thinking about it now, although she had lost Xie Zhongxing’s pictures, she had added Qin Zhongyue as a friend! She was completely fine with this exchange!Just as she was about to take a screenshot of this, she suddenly saw the chat interface between herself and Qin Zhongyue disappear!Zhang Xinyue, “……”Qin Zhongyue had actually deleted her?!!Deleted?Qin Zhongyue strode quickly to the male toilets. There was no one there.He thought for a moment and knocked on the doors of the individual cubicles one after another. Xie Zhongxing wasn’t in any of them. An uncle in one of them yelled angrily, “Isn’t there an empty one right there? Why are you knocking on them one after another?”Qin Zhongyue quickly apologised and withdrew from the bathroom.At this moment, he really wanted Xie Zhongxing to hurry and buy a phone. He doesn’t have a number to call when he needs it!He paced along the corridor anxiously. More and more classmates had arrived. Several boys who he often played basketball with came over and said, “Brother, why aren’t you going in?”Qin Zhongyue said, “I’m waiting for Xie Zhongxing.”A boy said, “Xie Zhongxing? I think I saw him just now.”Qin Zhongyue asked, “Where did you see him?”The boy scratched his head and looked at the other boy next to him, “Qi Ruiming, where did we see him again?”

The person called Qi Ruiming thought for a moment and said, “It was at the square in front of the hotel. He and Zhong Yiming were talking.”The other boy wondered, “Since Zhong Yiming likes men, does he plan on confessing to Xie Zhongxing?”The boy called Qi Ruiming patted the boy on the shoulder, “Don’t talk nonsense. The two of them were originally in the same dormitory so it’s normal for them to be close. What are you going to do if the nonsense you’re spouting spreads to other people’s ears?”The boy immediately shut his mouth.But Qin Zhongyue’s heart immediately tensed up the moment he heard those words.He had a faint guess earlier but their words allowed him to suddenly realise what was happening.Zhong Yiming really did have a thing for Xie Zhongxing!Qin Zhongyue didn’t want to waste time chatting with them anymore. He hurriedly ran off to find Xie Zhongxing.The boy looked at Qin Zhongyue’s leaving figure, “I think Qin Zhongyue and Xie Zhongxing are pretty close too.”Qi Ruiming said, “Don’t tell me you’re saying that there is something going on between them too.”The boy said, “I didn’t say that.”Qi Ruiming, “But you being like this is pretty good. It’s better than always worrying about Zhong Yiming liking you. Even if the other party likes men, they would like men like Xie Zhongxing and Qin Zhongyue so don’t worry, you’re safe.”The boy, “………”The boy said with some embarrassment, “Okay, okay, I know you and Zhong Yiming are deskmates and get along well. I didn’t mean it when I said it. I wasn’t trying to look down on him.”There was only one elevator in this damned hotel and it hadn’t been serviced for many years. Qin Zhongyue had to wait a long time before the elevator arrived. Just as the elevator opened for him, Xie Zhongxing and Zhong Yiming appeared.Qin Zhongyue looked at the two of them with sharp eyes, “What did you two do just now?”

Xie Zhongxing somehow felt as if he was being interrogated after being caught having an affair. He couldn’t help but find it a little funny, “We just had a chat.”Qin Zhongyue asked, “Chat about what?”His gaze finally stopped on Zhong Yiming. He noticed that his eyes were red, as if he had cried.His sharp look was gone and his tone softened, “What’s wrong? You cried?”Zhong Yiming pushed up his glasses and responded calmly, “I didn’t cry.”How could you not have cried if your voice is still a little nasal!Qin Zhongyue patted his shoulder understandingly, “I understand. This kind of thing cannot be forced. You can start afresh when you’re in university.”Zhong Yiming laughed, “You’re speaking as if I wasn’t successful.”Qin Zhongyue’s expression changed, “What do you mean?”Zhong Yiming, “Xie Zhongxing agreed.”Qin Zhongyue, “!!!!”Qin Zhongyue immediately looked towards Xie Zhongxing, his eyes filled with panic, “What did you agree on?!!”Xie Zhongxing glanced at Zhong Yiming, “Guess.”Qin Zhongyue was impatient, “I won’t allow it! I definitely won’t allow it!”Xie Zhongxing found it funny, “Why are you raising your voice like that?”Qin Zhongyue immediately suppressed his voice and continued with slight grievance in his tone, “You already have me, how could you agree to his confession? Hurry and reject him!”Xie Zhongxing’s eyes flickered. He averted his eyes and looked towards the fake replica of Mona Lisa on the wall, “….Who said I agreed to a confession?”Zhong Yiming looked deeply at Qin Zhongyue and said calmly, “I was talking about going to Li Jiang to play during the summer vacation.”Qin Zhongyue, “……..”
