Forced to Date a Big Shot

Chapter 379: I Said I Wasn’t Joking

Liu Zhao’s words could easily cause a misunderstanding. Moreover, she looked too innocent and Xue Xi looked too domineering. Everyone would usually trust the words of the weak.

Moreover, Xue Xi did not explain at all, which meant that she had indeed said those words in the dormitory. Hence, the righteous girl, Wang Wei, said, “Xue Xi must have said those words. What joke? Liu Zhao took it for real!”

Someone else said, “We’re all adults. Don’t you know that some jokes can’t be made casually? If you say such words, everyone will only think that you’re narcissistic!”

“...”

Li Zixia jumped out of the crowd. “We were just joking. Liu Zhao took it seriously. This is a complete misunderstanding!”

Wang Wei: “What kind of joke is this?”

Li Zixia placed her hands on her waist. “The four of us have a good relationship. What’s wrong with making a joke in the dormitory? Do we need your permission? Sister Xi didn’t say this in front of everyone. What do you care what she said in private?”

Wang Wei: “...”

Liu Zhao’s goal had been achieved. Now, everyone would think that Xue Xi was an arrogant and rude person. Her popularity would definitely drop.

Hence, she turned to look at Xue Xi. “Xue Xi, I’m sorry. I misunderstood you!”

The surrounding people pouted. Just as they were about to leave, Xue Xi said, “I said that I wasn’t joking.”

Everyone: “?”

After saying this, she walked to the side and poured a glass of water.

When she went to the washroom, she took some hot water and went to the nearby store to buy a bottle of water. She then looked at the sports class next door.

She carried the bottle of water and walked toward the gymnasium.

When the students saw her, they chuckled and moved aside, exposing He Gao to her.

Xue Xi passed the water to He Gao.

He Gao: “...”

Thinking of the hour-long military posture he’d endured yesterday, he suddenly felt his legs go weak.

Should I accept this water?

Before he could decide, Xue Xi had already placed the water in his hand and said, “After the military training, let’s have dinner together.”

After saying this, she turned around and returned to her team without waiting for He Gao to agree.

Xue Xi was in her military uniform, and her red hair was hidden under her cap, revealing a few strands of hair around her face.

Her exquisite features were expressionless and her large eyes appeared a little adorable. However, the girl’s posture was straight and she looked exceptionally valiant in this outfit.

He Gao stood rooted to the ground.

Someone walked over and hooked his shoulder. “He Gao, this person is really beautiful. She is definitely this year’s school belle. Do you really not like her?”

He Gao pursed his lips and looked at the water in his hand.

That person chuckled. “If you really don’t like her, I’ll chase after her, okay? Don’t say later that bros should come before hoes!”

Just as he said this, someone suddenly pressed on his shoulder and threw him over his shoulder. He fell to the ground.

He Gao pressed down on him, and his sharp eyes were filled with anger. “Just try chasing her!”

The student he was suppressing was from the same dormitory. After being beaten, he bit off angrily, “What the hell... You acted as though you didn’t care. I thought you really didn’t care. If you care, I definitely won’t do this. Let go of me first!”

He Gao only let go when he heard this.

The people who were planning to stop them asked what was wrong. He Gao replied calmly, “It’s nothing. We’re just playing.”

...

The physical education class was right beside Xue Xi’s class, so they quickly found out about their situation.

Everyone was originally shocked by Xue Xi’s words that she was not joking. Now that they saw this, everyone started discussing again.

“What’s going on? She just said that she’s dating Instructor Xiang, and now she’s chasing after the boy from the next class... She even got him to fight for her. Isn’t she a vixen?”

“If she didn’t go after He Gao, I would have believed her. With such a handsome boyfriend like Instructor Xiang, who else would fancy He Gao?”

“That’s not necessarily true. What if she wants to be two-timing?”

Everyone’s words became more and more unpleasant. Li Zixia’s face darkened. Just as she was about to say something, Instructor Li and Instructor Zhang walked over and blew the whistle!

Everyone stood up, but the topic just now was too shocking, so the girls could not help but discuss in low voices.

Instructor Li chided, “What did you say? Didn’t you hear the whistle? Report!”

Such a fierce Instructor Li made everyone shut their mouths.

After the students reported their numbers, they started to train and march again.

Liu Zhao stood in the crowd and trained hard.

She grew up in the countryside and had had to work. Her posture was much better than those delicate young ladies.

She wanted to be chosen as a role model.

From every class in the military training camp, a most outstanding little soldier would be chosen. This honor was considered the first honor in the university!

So what if Xue Xi scored full marks for the college entrance examination? That could not even compare to this honor!

Hence, even though she was sweating, she did not complain that she was tired. She tried her best to perform every action. The students around her were all reprimanded by the instructor, but when he walked over to her, he nodded, indicating that her actions were standard.

After Instructor Li turned around, she heard him say, “Very good! However, among us, there is a student who did the best. Every step she took was perfect. She is...”

Liu Zhao’s eyes lit up as she waited expectantly for Instructor Li to announce her name.

It must be her.

It should be her.

However, she did not expect to hear him say, “Xue Xi!”

Liu Zhao clenched her fists.

Instructor Li was still praising her. “I wanted to say it yesterday. Her military posture was also the most standard then. Moreover, she did not relax at all during the entire process and was very serious. In today’s proper march, she’s also the best!”

Liu Zhao bit her lip. It’s alright. Xue Xi is the public enemy now.

Indeed, Wang Wei, who was in the crowd, suddenly said, “Reporting.”

“Speak.”

Wang Wei stood up. “Instructor, don’t tell me that you’ve become biased toward Xue Xi and are praising her because she and Instructor Xiang are in a relationship?”

The moment she said this, Instructor Li almost choked. He instantly chided, “Don’t spout nonsense!”

Xue Xi and Instructor Xiang are dating?

Impossible!

Do you guys think that Instructor Xiang is an ordinary military instructor?!

Wang Wei looked at Xue Xi impolitely. “I’m not spouting nonsense. Xue Xi said it herself. If you don’t believe me, you can ask her!”

Instructor Li: “?”

He had misunderstood Liu Zhao’s words yesterday, so he turned to look at Xue Xi and asked, “Xue Xi, did you say this?”

...

At the same time, seeing that it was almost time for lunch, he found an excuse to patrol and walked among the military trainees.
