After a barrage of faux-innocent remarks, Xiao Jingxi looked innocently at Xie Mi.
"Xie Mi, what do you think?"
Shen Yeqing had often used this kind of spiel before, causing him to fall flat in front of Xie Mi plenty of times.
This time, he struck back with the same tactic, eager to see how furious and flustered Shen Yeqing would become.
Yet Xie Mi merely looked at him as if he were an impostor pretending to be human, then mercilessly delivered a single line.
"Deceiving the masses with wicked words-sentence him to death!"
Xiao Jingxi could no longer smile. "?"
Even more infuriatingly, Shen Yeqing's own faux-innocent words followed.
"Am I not allowed to be jealous?"
A hint of sadness seemed to shimmer in the man's beautiful, alluring eyes, inexplicably stirring pity in those who saw him.
"It's just that..."
"I care too much about Teacher Xie."
It was like being struck by lightning!
Xiao Jingxi staggered back two steps, his gaze full of shock and disbelief as he looked at Shen Yeqing.
How could anyone...
Be this good at playing innocent?!
[The moment Old Shen makes a move, it's a crushing mismatch.]
[Stop copying him, Try-Hard Bro. Buddy, you still need practice.]
[I thought Xiao Jingxi was having some kind of fit just now. I couldn't figure out what he was doing until Old Shen spoke. Was Xiao Jingxi trying to play innocent back there?]
[What was he thinking, trying to sow discord in front of Old Xie? When has that ever worked on her?]
Faced with Shen Yeqing's words, Xie Mi had an entirely different attitude.
She patted Shen Yeqing's shoulder and said with a helpless sigh.
"Jealousy is only human. It's my fault for being too charming, not yours."
"Then may I make another unreasonable request?"
