After ONS: Trapped by the Cunning Professor Chapter 144 - 145 Guessing (3)

Lou Xi told Bai Lu everything that happened with Qin Mobai earlier, and also ntioned the general situation from last night.

If she didn’t find soone to talk to now, she’d definitely feel terrible inside.

Bai Lu listened to the gist and then concluded, "So you feel like you got the short end of the stick that ti?"

Lou Xi: "..."

"Just kidding!" Bai Lu laughed, "What I an is, you’re upset because Young Master Qin has been deceiving you all this ti, right?"

"Yes! If he had clarified back then that nothing happened at the hotel, I wouldn’t have worried for so long! And wouldn’t have—"

"—and wouldn’t have all these things that happened afterward? You might not be with Young Master Qin? You need to take responsibility for yourself, so..." Bai Lu finished all the words Lou Xi didn’t say out loud.

Lou Xi widened her eyes but couldn’t say anything because Bai Lu had seen through what she was thinking, which was the reason for her anxiety since last night.

"Xixi, do you really like Young Master Qin?" Bai Lu looked at Lou Xi doubtfully, suddenly feeling a bit sorry for Young Master Qin.

"I—" Lou Xi looked at Bai Lu, wanting to say she definitely liked Young Master Qin!

But as soon as she was about to speak, the words got stuck, she couldn’t say them.

It’s because after finding out that nothing actually happened that night, her feelings for Qin Mobai seed to have changed.

It seed...he wasn’t the only one for her.

"Xixi, this is where I feel you’re wrong. Young Master Qin didn’t clarify what happened that day, but from start to finish, it was your one-sided assumption that you were intimate with him. As a man like Young Master Qin—wealthy, handso—why would he need to deceive you? For your youth and beauty, your liveliness and cuteness? A man like Qin Mobai could have any kind of girl he wanted. Do you know how many girls hang around outside our classroom just to catch a glimpse of him? Do you think it was to be intimate with you? Again, Young Master Qin could have any woman he wants, so why must it be you?"

Yes, why must it be Lou Xi?

"Because..." Lou Xi thought for a long ti but couldn’t find a suitable reason.

"Because Young Master Qin really likes you! That’s why he wants to be with you." Bai Lu reminded Lou Xi, highlighting the issue that troubled her—that Qin Mobai likes Lou Xi, which is why he did so many things.

"Young Master Qin likes ..." But Young Master Qin never said he liked her, never said love.

Oh, he said love needs to be felt.

"Alright, stop worrying about it!" Bai Lu snatched the bottle from Lou Xi’s hand, "Don’t drink in the morning, you still have class in the afternoon, do you want to go drunk to class?"

"Lu Lu, but when I see Young Master Qin now, I just feel awkward all over."

"What’s awkward? There’s nothing awkward!" Bai Lu said with a cheeky smile, "So, Miss Lou Xi, how is Young Master Qin’s physique?"

Lou Xi blushed, "What are you talking about!"

"Shy, shy!"

"You’re so annoying!"
