Chapter 83: The Scales in My Heart Shifted
Inside Classroom 1.
Li Qing Xue strolled over to Gao Quan and asked, “Where’s Ye Liang Chen?”
Regarding Ye Liang Chen tattling to the teacher about how dating at school was distracting him from studying, Li Qing Xue thought it was necessary to have an face-to-face chat with Ye Liang Chen.
She wanted to find out what crazy thoughts drove him to lie to the teacher—or was it just her imagination seeing him secretly dating at school?
Even if he was dating, how did that interfere with his studies? Geez.
Seeing Li Qing Xue come over to ask Ye Liang Chen, Gao Quan couldn’t help but inwardly marvel at Brother Chen—just a drunken photo and suddenly Li Qing Xue’s acting all concerned?
Wow, he’s really got Li Qing Xue wrapped around his finger.
Feeling proud, Gao Quan said, “Brother Chen has something to do today.”
He then leaned in mysteriously close to Li Qing Xue and whispered, “And, oh, this thing involves you.”
Hearing that, Li Qing Xue knit her brows, puzzled. “What do you mean, involves me?”
Gao Quan mimicked Ye Liang Chen’s confident smile: “From today on, you don’t have to worry about Long Ao Tian bothering you anymore.”
“Because, Brother Chen has already taken his mom and gone to give Long Ao Tian some trouble!” Gao Quan’s tone was dripping with smugness.
That’s Long Ao Tian—top dog of senior year, the legend himself—who’s about to get a lesson from Brother Chen and his mom today!
Li Qing Xue’s brow then furrowed in confusion: “What? What do you mean, he took his mom to deal with Long Ao Tian?”
“Long Ao Tian didn’t even provoked him—why would they bother Long Ao Tian?”
Gao Quan chuckled slyly, looking proud: “You don’t know, huh?”
“Last Saturday, Brother Chen and I saw Long Ao Tian at Nan Feng Plaza.”
Li Qing Xue immediately recalled— that night, Long Ao Tian said Ye Liang Chen looked like a fool and even asked if his brain was broken.
Plus, Gao Quan sent her a drunken, nose-bleeding photo of Ye Liang Chen drinking—could it be…
She cautiously asked, “Did Long Ao Tian beat up Ye Liang Chen?”
“Nope. But it’s related to him,” Gao Quan lowered his voice.
“Long Ao Tian was drinking fruit beer, and I guess maybe the way he held the bottle scared Brother Chen, causing him to accidentally hurt his nose.”
Li Qing Xue still found it hard to understand: “Ye Liang Chen hit himself in the nose, but why did he come to bother Long Ao Tian?”
Gao Quan snickered internally—right now, Li Qing Xue is just like he was back then.
Back then, he also couldn’t see the connection—until Ye Liang Chen explained it. Now he understands.
He shook his head secretly, acting mysterious: “You wouldn’t get it.”
“Just think about this—if Long Ao Tian hadn’t been drinking fruit beer, he wouldn’t have grabbed the bottle, right? Then Brother Chen wouldn’t have been scared.”
“And if Brother Chen hadn’t been scared, he wouldn’t have hit his nose.”
“So, basically, it’s Long Ao Tian’s fault!”
Li Qing Xue’s face was a mix of confusion: “That’s how you understand it?”
Gao Quan laughed, watching Li Qing Xue’s bewildered look, and decided to spill more beans: “Honestly, that’s what Brother Chen told me. I just wanted to make it sound dramatic.”
Li Qing Xue was a bit angry. “I really give up on you guys. Do you get paid for causing trouble?”
“Someone drinking fruit beer is a mistake? Heaven and earth, you can’t just police what they drink or eat!”
After saying that, she turned and left the classroom, furious.
Gao Quan watched her stomping away, puzzled: “Isn’t that for your own good? Worrying about Long Ao Tian hitting on you, why are you mad?”
Li Qing Xue really couldn’t figure out Ye Liang Chen’s intentions.
Ever since that day, he seemed like a totally different person—doing things that normal folks just couldn’t understand!
She headed toward the teacher’s office.
At the door, Li Qing Xue took a deep breath, adjusted her mood, then knocked.
“Come in.”
She pushed the door open, but inside she only saw the homeroom teachers of her class and Class 7, seemingly gossiping about something.
No one else was there.
“What’s wrong, Qing Xue?” the Class 1 homeroom teacher asked. Teachers are always more caring towards good students.
“Teacher, is Ye Liang Chen…”
Before she finished, the teacher sighed: “I really don’t know what’s become of Ye Liang Chen now.”
Before this, Ye Liang Chen often followed Li Qing Xue around, his grades mid-tier—nothing particularly brilliant, but he looked like a good student at first glance.
But this month’s mock exam results? Worse than ever, like, not just a little off.
Last Friday, he even lied about it—blaming Li Qing Xue’s school romance for messing up his studies.
Of course, her parents confirmed that was all nonsense. Still, today’s incident made things even more complicated.
Surprisingly, Long Ao Tian, considered the class rebel, today was showing a maturity totally unlike his age.
Especially when standing in front of the Class 7 teacher—it gave off a strong sense of responsibility.
Hey, little boss, there’s more to this chapter, click next page to continue reading—things get even better!
His mouth is truly deadly!
But every word hits the mark. Thinking of Ye’s mother, face turning green with anger, she can’t help but laugh.
They’re in education—good morals are a must—and for people as unreasonable and meddlesome as Ye’s mother, it’s just headache-inducing.
“Since you’re familiar with Ye Liang Chen, try to talk some sense into him—tell him to stop with the little schemes and focus all his energy on studying…”
Li Qing Xue left the teacher’s office.
Taking another deep breath, she headed back to her class, feeling heavy and a bit upset.
Just at the staircase corner, she overheard a familiar voice and laughter.
Her spirits lifted with a glance.
It was Long Ao Tian, bringing Hu Yu Ying up the stairs.
“Long Ao Tian.”
“Oh, what are you doing here?” Long Ao Tian saw Li Qing Xue and greeted with a smile.
Hu Yu Ying glanced at Li Qing Xue but didn’t speak—just nodded lightly.
Besides Long Ao Tian, Hu Yu Ying only relaxes around him; with everyone else, her expression stays pretty much unchanged.
“I heard Ye Liang Chen and his mom came to bother you, are you okay?” Li Qing Xue asked with concern.
Her instinctive action was just worry for her friend.
“Do I look like someone with trouble?” Long Ao Tian replied nonchalantly: “But I really admire Ye Liang Chen’s way of thinking. If it were before, I’d definitely pick a fight with him!”
She chuckled—Li Qing Xue couldn’t help but find that funny.
It feels like the scale in her heart is quietly shifting…
