62: Chapter 62 The War Without Gunfire

Rumors at school always come and go quickly.

Not long after the banquet, Lin Xiao returned to school for regular classes.

Qiu Xiaoyan learned the news of Lin Xiao's return almost immediately, and that same day she asked Lin Xiao to eat together and go to the Library to read.

During the days Lin Xiao was on leave, she always felt like something was missing.

It was as if a void had appeared in her life.

A void that was difficult to fill with anything else.

Especially after hearing that the Lin family held a banquet to announce Lin Xiao's identity as the young master of the Lin family.

This raised a sense of crisis in Qiu Xiaoyan's heart.

It felt as if a treasure that only she knew about had been suddenly revealed to the public.

And Lin Xiao was that treasure.

On one hand, she was happy that Lin Xiao was recognized, as this meant not so many people at school would bully him anymore.

But on the other hand, she was worried that the person she liked would be taken away.

This contradictory feeling lasted until she met with Lin Xiao.

Seeing that Lin Xiao was still the same person she was familiar with, her hanging heart was finally put to rest.

Lin Xiao had thought everything would just return to normal.

Until he saw Bai Yueling in a public lecture.

He remembered that Bai Yueling was not from their school and didn't understand why she appeared here.

Lin Xiao just glanced at Bai Yueling, then acted as if he hadn't seen her and sat in the corner of the classroom as usual.

But just after sitting down for a moment, a faint fragrance wafted over.

Looking up, he saw Bai Yueling sitting in the seat next to him on her own accord.

"I originally thought you were a good student, but I didn't expect you to be just like those playboys, only liking to sit at the back and slack off."

Bai Yueling said nonchalantly.

"It's precisely because I don't need to learn anymore that I sit at the back, leaving the front row for those who need it."

Lin Xiao didn't want to explain, but considering Bai Yueling's identity.

For the sake of his image, he still said a few more words.

At first, Bai Yueling did not believe this explanation.

It wasn't until she saw the professor walk in and chat very politely with Lin Xiao about their previous project that she realized Lin Xiao didn't seem to be lying to her.

Girls are all drawn to strength.

Moreover, hearing others talk about how capable he was and actually seeing him being capable were two different things.

At this moment, the image of Lin Xiao in her heart became a bit taller.

But this feeling was quickly broken by another emotion.

Just before class started, a beautiful figure appeared at the classroom door.

It was a very pretty girl.

As soon as she appeared, she attracted the attention of quite a few people.

This girl poked her head in, seemingly looking for someone.

When she saw their side, her gaze seemed to pause for a moment.

Then, amidst the many watching eyes, she sat on the other side of Lin Xiao.

"Xiao Yan, I didn't expect you to really come."

Lin Xiao said with a smile, "Generally, girls who study liberal arts don't seem to be very interested in subjects like finance."

"That just goes to show that I am not an average person."

Qiu Xiaoyan also had smiling, crescent-shaped eyes.

"Just right, I also brought you the book you mentioned last time."

Lin Xiao took two finance textbooks out of his backpack and handed them to Qiu Xiaoyan.

Qiu Xiaoyan accepted them very happily and said a sweet thank you.

In fact, she had seen Bai Yueling a long time ago.

A girl's intuition told her that this girl was not simple.

It looked like she also sat next to Lin Xiao on purpose.

Although she didn't know what kind of relationship they had, she planned to meet changes with constancy.

She just continued to interact with Lin Xiao normally, without revealing any flaws.

Whoever lost their composure first would be the one who lost.

Bai Yueling also seemed to understand this, and she didn't have any exaggerated reactions.

During class, she just rested her chin on one hand while listening, asking Lin Xiao a few questions from time to time.

She was not a student at this school, but she was also studying finance.

So, many times she could discuss the problems the professor mentioned with Lin Xiao in a logical and organized manner.

For the entire duration of the class, the two women just surrounded Lin Xiao like this.

It looked calm, but in reality, it was like a war had been fought.

At first, Lin Xiao didn't notice anything unusual.

But gradually, he also felt that the atmosphere was not quite right.

Because class was still in session, he didn't say much.

After finally waiting for class to end, he wanted to leave this place of trouble immediately.

But the two women stood up together as well.

"Lin Xiao, this is my first time at your school, won't you take me around?"

Bai Yueling asked with a smile.

Qiu Xiaoyan would not let go so easily; she gently tugged at the corner of Lin Xiao's shirt and whispered, "Lin Xiao, we agreed yesterday to go eat at that new shop at the school gate."

The flames of war finally emerged into the open.

It was obvious that for the upcoming activity, Lin Xiao could only choose one.

Neither of them was willing to be the one who lost!

Lin Xiao also had a massive headache.

He wasn't very close to Bai Yueling, and he didn't want to, nor did he have any reason to, take her for a walk around the school.

As for Qiu Xiaoyan, he had previously agreed to go to that new shop to eat together, but not today.

Perhaps this strange atmosphere made him rebellious.

In short, Lin Xiao just wanted to be alone today; he didn't want to accompany anyone!
