Xu Shuangrong slowly walked up to Xie Mi. Looking at the mask in her hand, she wore the hint of a smile.
"You're not here for some Hidden Mission or something, are you?"
She exposed Xie Mi's intentions right off the bat.
Xie Mi dropped the pretense too, folding her arms and watching her with interest. "What do you want?"
"You're not denying it, Teacher Xie? Then it looks like I guessed right. Did you suddenly come looking for Little Brother Jin Che because he's your mission target?"
Xu Shuangrong's tone remained exceedingly "friendly," as though they were making the most ordinary small talk.
"Don't be nervous. I'm not trying to get in your way."
"It's just that Little Brother Jin Che has always been a younger brother I feel especially protective of. Seeing him work so hard at the sports meet today without winning a medal, and then getting frightened by you, Teacher Xie, I couldn't help feeling bad for him. So I came to comfort him."
"I won't stop you, but if you're going to keep hurting Little Brother Jin Che, I won't just stand by and watch."
As Xu Shuangrong spoke, she reached out and gently pressed down on Xie Mi's mask-holding hand, smiling faintly.
"I know you've never liked Little Brother Jin Che, Teacher Xie, but there's no need to target him so much. He just has feelings for you. He hasn't committed some unforgivable sin."
Her seemingly joking tone subtly shifted the blame onto Xie Mi, accusing her of being vicious and doing nothing but bullying Yu Jinche.
Some netizens who couldn't think for themselves were easily swayed by remarks like these.
[Exactly, exactly. Why are you targeting Little Brother Jin Che?]
