Chapter 71: How Does One Break Up with a Boyfriend?

Xue Yao turned around and saw that Xue Xi was reading with her head lowered as though she had not heard their conversation and was not interested in the audition. She then heaved a sigh of relief.

Li Hanlei was about to say something when Xue Yao stopped her. “Stop it.”

Li Hanlei pursed her lips. The mean-looking girl rolled her eyes. “Why not?”

Xue Yao lowered her eyes, hiding the complicated emotions in them. Behind the class table, she placed her hands on her knees, grabbed her school uniform pants, and said in a low voice, “She will be sad if you say that.”

Although Fan Han had his head lowered and was scrolling through a high-school assessment book, he had actually pricked up his ears when he heard Li Hanlei’s words and was a little displeased. Hearing Xue Yao’s words, he raised his head in agreement and praised, “Xue Yao is correct.”

Although Xue Yao’s grades were not as good as Xue Xi’s, she was, after all, kind and magnanimous. Moreover, she knew how to play the piano. Compared to Xue Xi’s ice-cold demeanor, Xue Yao was more like a noble lady.

For the first time since Fan Han had switched marriage partners and then realized that Xue Xi was actually so outstanding, his uneasy heart finally calmed down.

He looked at Xue Yao. “You can do it.”

Xue Yao forced a smile.

When Li Hanlei heard Fan Han speak, although she was still indignant, she stopped mentioning Xue Xi and changed her target. “But why did Old Liu look for Qin Shuang? If I remember correctly, her piano skills are just for show, right?”

Xue Yao thought nothing of it. “Perhaps it’s to make up the numbers.”

…

“I was selected just to make up the numbers!”

Qin Shuang knew her position very well, but she had a good attitude. “Let’s not talk about the other classes. Even I can’t compare to Xue Yao, but it’s more important that I’ll be able to participate!”

Qin Shuang quickly composed herself. “Besides, we might meet my idol during the audition!”

At this point, she thought of what was about to happen after school and quickly regained her fighting spirit. With a fierce expression, she said, “I love my husband so much, yet someone was actually cheating people using his name. I will definitely not let him off!”

Xue Xi slowly explained, “…I don’t think he’s a cheat.”

The people in the Moguls’ Group at least had their character to back them up. An example was the person who taught mathematics and helped her write a thesis. The person who played the piano was Zhou Zhou, who seemed to be quite famous. There was also Brother Silin and Omnipotent Boss.

She suddenly recalled that her teacher seemed to be even more formidable than Brother Silin. Did he know that she would die if she didn’t fall in love?

She picked up her phone and sent a WeChat message to Omnipotent Boss: “Teacher, I would like to ask you a question.”

Omnipotent Boss: “Speak.”

Xue Xi typed slowly: “How does one break up with a boyfriend?”

In the provision store.

Xiang Huai, who was sitting behind the counter, saw this and stared at his phone for a while before replying: “Does your boyfriend treat you badly?”

The little kid replied very quickly: “It’s not that. I just feel that having one eats up too much of my studying time.”

Studying…

Xiang Huai was wary of Li Xuekai and had cowed Gao Yanchen mentally, but in the end, he lost to her studies?

Xiang Huai raised an eyebrow. Just as he was about to reply, the other party sent him another message.

Learning: “And I don’t want to be forced to date.”

Xiang Huai’s eyes darkened as he stared at the word “forced” for a long time, as though he wanted to see through the phone.

After Xue Xi sent the message, Omnipotent Boss probably had something on and did not reply immediately like before. She did not think much about it and put down her phone to continue with her class.

When the next two periods were over and the school bell rang, the classroom instantly became lively.

The break time for third-year students was ten minutes earlier than that of second-year students. They rushed to the canteen for lunch.

When almost everyone in the classroom had left, Xue Xi slowly stood up and tidied her desk before saying to Qin Shuang, “Let’s go.”

Qin Shuang could not wait any longer and followed after her. A message popped up on her WeChat.

Actor: “Sister Xi, I’m here. When are you coming?”

This tone… seemed like he was trying to act cute.

Qin Shuang shivered and rubbed her arms. “Sister Xi, don’t hold too much hope. This is definitely a cheat. How can my Xiao Bai speak like this?”

Xue Xi could not be bothered to explain further. Anyway, Qin Shuang would find out the truth when they met later. She replied “Okay” to the other party and led Qin Shuang out.

Qin Shuang chattered non-stop along the way. She took out a pencil case from her pocket. “Later, I’ll capture that person who pretended to be my husband and beat him up! My husband is like the stars in the sky. How can he defile his reputation?

“He pretended to be my husband and even dared to bump into me. He doesn’t want to live anymore! But oh, I have to go for an audition during the self-study class in the afternoon. I wonder if I can meet my idol.”

The corner of Xue Xi’s mouth twitched and she turned to look. She realized that Qin Shuang was holding her chest with both hands and looking like she was infatuated. She could not understand. “Do you… like him that much?”

Qin Shuang immediately nodded her head fiercely and her eyes became determined. “Sister Xi, do you know what an idol is?”

Xue Xi shook her head.

Qin Shuang pursed her lips and said, “I should tell you what the situation was like at my home. Actually, on my 16th birthday, I thought about taking my own life.”

The family held a birthday banquet for the sisters, but Qin Lu’s dress was ruined and she cried pitifully. Her parents insisted that Qin Shuang was the one who did it and had her compensate by giving her dress to Qin Lu. Qin Lu attended the birthday party beautifully while Qin Shuang ran out of the house crying.

She was not as talented as Qin Lu in her studies and her grades were average. But was one to be dismissed just because their grades were poor?

At that time, she had lost all hope and only wanted to leave this world and use her own death to punish her parents.

When she reached the top floor of a building, she stood at the edge and listened to the howling wind. Looking at this familiar city, she stretched out her arm and wanted to ride the wind.

But at this moment, someone played a song.

It was Cen Bai’s “Strong.”

There was a line of lyrics in it that Cen Bai seemed to have shouted out and roared right into her heart. “No matter what others think, I must be strong!”

It became a song that she’d sing to calm herself down.

Since then, she could not stop chasing after that celebrity.

After Qin Shuang casually mentioned this matter, her fighting spirit rose again. “My idol is so righteous. I don’t know how many people he has given hope to, yet someone actually dared to cheat others while using his name. I must kill him today!”

As they chatted, they arrived outside the equipment room.

At this point, Qin Shuang’s eyes turned fierce. She moved her wrists and pushed open the door to the equipment room.

The equipment room was filled with the tools used during physical education class. The moment the door opened, a figure flashed out from behind the door. Qin Shuang did not even look at it as a stationery box hit the person’s head.

“Tsk!” The other party took a step back and called out hesitantly, “Sister Xi?”

Upon hearing this familiar voice, Qin Shuang shuddered!

She looked over, and when she saw that stunning face, she instinctively shouted, “Hubby?”
