Chapter 26: Inseparable

Because they had exchanged their bodies, the two naturally took the initiative to help each other out. After all, that is their own body and they couldn’t watch the other person use their own body to do embarrassing things. Incidentally, they became the most well complimented desk partners. When the teacher asked one of them to answer a question, the other would actively whisper hints. When one falls asleep, the other would help keep a look out.

They didn’t talk much and waited for the end of class to find another chance to discuss things out again. However, at this moment Tang Ling Ling suddenly came over and said to Qin Xu: “Jiang Yang, I have something to tell you. Can you come out for a bit?”

Jiang Yang instantly became very vigilant. The two of them speaking alone? Qin Xu won’t speak nonsense, right?

His distrust for Qin Xu was a result of his constant exposure to his shameless side. He had completely forgotten that Qin Xu generally acted cold and indifferent in front of others.

Jiang Yang acted unconcerned and asked: “What are you looking for him for?”

But Tang Ling Ling and Qin Xu almost never spoke. Hearing him suddenly ask her a question, she replied politely: “Nothing much.”

“Since it’s nothing much then can’t you just say it here?”

The moment he said those words, he realised that he had probably said too much as it clearly was none of his business. On any other day, Jiang Yang naturally wouldn’t care but now that it concerned himself, he wanted to be careful.

Tang Ling Ling found this strange. She frowned and wanted to say something, but Qin Xu had already stood up and walked out first, “Let’s speak outside.”

Tang Ling Ling froze for a moment before realising that he was speaking to her and proceeded to quickly follow him out. Internally, she wondered why Jiang Yang’s tone to her today felt particularly cold. Despite them not being very close, they were still friends who have known each other for many years. She mulled over this and unknowingly glanced back to the classroom only to see “Qin Xu” sending a glare of warning at “Jiang Yang”. She became even more confused, since when did Qin Xu care so much about Jiang Yang?

In the corridor, Qin Xu leaned lazily against the railing and asked: “What?”

Tang Ling Ling hesitated for a moment before speaking up: “Actually, I’m helping someone else ask. I just thought that your relationship with Qin Xu is good and wanted to ask if he has a girlfriend.”

Qin Xu raised his eyebrows and did not answer. Instead, he focused on the wrong point, “My relationship with Qin Xu is good?

Tang Ling Ling nodded, “That’s right. Aren’t you two inseparable? Although the two of you may have had some misunderstandings in the past, everyone has recently noticed that you two have reconciled. I have always thought that you two would get along very well, just like how it was at the beginning of first year. With two school idols walking around, it naturally is a feast to the eyes.”

At the end, she smiled and even included a ridiculing tone.

Qin Xu heard this and subconsciously nodded as he agreed with her opinion that the two had reconciled. Although he didn’t want to admit it, it was true that the system contributed to this and not himself. Thinking this, he suddenly felt a little unhappy.

Because Qin Xu didn’t answer her question, Tang Ling Ling asked again.

This time he absent-mindedly said: “No.”

Tang Ling Ling released a sigh of relief as she finally managed to help her friend out. Patting him on his shoulder, she wanted to give her thanks but, since he wasn’t actually Jiang Yang, Qin Xu subconsciously dodged her hand and left Tang Ling Ling confused.

Qin Xu saw her natural act of intimacy and couldn’t help but ask: “He…..What is my relationship with you like?”

Tang Ling Ling was a little dumbfounded: “…..It’s okay. We’ve been classmates for many years and you are Huang Shao’s friend.”

Qin Xu very quickly concluded that they knew each other through Huang Shao. They did not normally interact with each other much and were purely just classmates. Thinking this, the corners of his lips formed a soft curve.

At this moment Jiang Yang who was peeking through the window couldn’t restrain himself anymore and pretended to act casual while walking over. “Jiang Yang, where’s your English book? Let me copy your notes.”

Although he said this, his gaze fell onto the two figures. He was worried that Qin Xu would say something stupid to Tang Ling Ling.

Under Tang Ling Ling’s look of fascination, he dragged Qin Xu away and, seeing that there was no-one around, he whispered: “What did you two talk about?”

Qin Xu answered straightforwardly: “She said that our relationship is good and wanted to ask you if I have a girlfriend.”
