Chapter 1300: Chapter 1301: Can’t Bear Her Anymore

Because of Chen Yin’s foot injury, he couldn’t make it to Shier Bridge.

Furthermore, since news about Chen Qi had already surfaced, his mind was completely occupied with finding Chen Qi, reducing the group heading to Shier Bridge for the field trip the next day by three people.

Chen Yin wasn’t going, and Xu Yiqiu said she needed to go back early to help him gather news about Chen Qi, so she also withdrew, and with both of them not going, Chiang Xiao and Meng Xinian discussed and decided not to go either.

Professor Qiu didn’t say much, and continued with the original plan, heading to Shier Bridge with Ye Xiaoning and the others.

Chiang Xiao and her group instead took Chen Yin’s car to return.

Due to Chen Yin’s injury, Meng Xinian took over the driving, which suited Chiang Xiao just fine—she didn’t want herself and Meng Xinian sitting in the backseat with Xu Yiqiu.

When it was time to get in the car, Xu Yiqiu stepped ahead of Wang Yi, helping Chen Yin into the car, and was ready to climb in herself.

If that were the case, she would end up sitting in the middle, with Wang Yi and Chen Yin on either side of her.

Chiang Xiao had been tolerating Xu Yiqiu, but perhaps because Meng Xinian had analyzed the situation, she now found Xu Yiqiu too crafty, and her tolerance for Xu Yiqiu plummeted drastically.

Upon seeing this, she immediately said to Wang Yi, "Wang Yi, you’re really not fulfilling your duties as a girlfriend! How can you let Mr. Xu take care of your boyfriend? And Chen Yin, don’t you feel uneasy burdening an outsider?"

Wang Yi’s face heated up, but she could tell that Chiang Xiao was defending her.

Having been preempted by Xu Yiqiu, she was already feeling upset; seizing the opportunity to follow up on Chiang Xiao’s comment, she quickly grabbed hold of Xu Yiqiu, who was about to get into the car.

"Teacher Xu, let me get into the car first."

Her tug was a bit forceful, pulling Xu Yiqiu back as she hurriedly got into the car first.

Xu Yiqiu also got into the car and closed the door, smiling as she said, "Actually, it’s no bother at all, just a small effort."

Chiang Xiao didn’t turn her head, but spoke very clearly.

"Mr. Xu, you don’t understand our country’s norms. You might think it’s a small effort, but from our perspective, it’s inappropriate. You have no relationship with Chen Yin, yet you link arms, hold hands, get too close—all of these are very inappropriate. It has gotten better in recent years, but a few years ago, surveillance personnel would have arrested you and Chen Yin!"

As she spoke, she turned the conversation towards Chen Yin, "I’m saying, Chen Yin, you really should know better. Mr. Xu might not be aware of our domestic situation, but don’t you know it?"

Chen Yin just felt his face burning with alternating waves of heat.

"Sister-in-law, I wasn’t thorough in my consideration."

Chiang Xiao chuckled disdainfully, "Does this even need consideration? You’re a gay man, perhaps not so concerned about reputation, but you should at least consider Mr. Xu’s position. Though I address her as ’Mister,’ she is indeed a genuine lady!"

Chiang Xiao was technically talking to Chen Yin, but it was clear that her words were also directed at Xu Yiqiu.

Yet, Xu Yiqiu couldn’t really argue back because it seemed Chiang Xiao was advocating for her.

Despite being confronted this way by Chiang Xiao, Xu Yiqiu still managed to smile and said, "Is that so? It seems I’ll have to keep my distance from Chen Yin in the future?"

Normally, saying such, others would offer her a way out, but Chiang Xiao instantly continued on that same note.
