IACF [QT] Chapter 93.2

Two girls walked past the grove. Su Yi saw the ice cream in their hands. Huo Jun also saw it along her line of sight.

He said very tactfully, “What flavor do you want? I’ll go buy it.”

Su Yi then reported a long list of names.

Huo Jun disagreed: “Eating too much is unhealthy.”

Having said that, he still noted them all down, asked Su Yi to wait for a while, and trotted away.

Su Yi swung her legs and turned two leaves boredly.

After a while, she heard footsteps behind her. She turned her head impatiently, but it turned out to be an unimportant person. She turned back with a lack of interest and continued to turn the leaves.

Seeing all the changes in her expression, Xie Mingzhao thought of the scene when he went to the starport to pick her up that day.

When she saw him, she was so happy that she kept circling around him, calling him ‘Brother Xie’ all the time. At that time, he just felt annoyed and wanted to stay away from her.

Now he finally got what he wanted, but for some reason, he didn’t feel as relaxed and happy as he imagined.

He walked over and stood in front of Su Yi, “Did you get the news?”

Today, his family suddenly informed him that he didn’t need to think about it anymore because the Su family was already determined and would no longer hesitate for the concessions made by the Xie family, and they just wanted to cancel the engagement.

After all, the Xie family was in the wrong first. If they did not want the two families’ long-standing friendship to be ruined because of the two juniors, they did not have much room for negotiation and finally agreed to the Su family’s request.

The ‘freedom’ that Xie Mingzhao had been pursuing for more than ten years suddenly came to him before he had made any effort.

It was like he had been accumulating strength for a long time in the arena, and when he was about to launch a full-strength attack, his opponent suddenly withdrew.

That feeling was more like the disappointment of missing a step than the relief of winning without fighting.

He couldn’t help but start to think about the reasons for Su Yi’s change of attitude.

All the variables pointed to one person, a person she had known for less than two months: Huo Jun.

He didn’t think that he was unwilling. He just had doubts about how deep the feelings could be in such a short time and what Huo Jun saw in Su Yi.

“Got it. Congratulations on finally achieving your wish.” Su Yi said while he was thinking.

Xie Mingzhao pulled himself out of his thoughts. He looked at Su Yi, looking at her appearance, expression, movements, and tone. As he looked at her, a sense of disharmony arose.

Although she still had the same appearance, everything about her seemed different from before. The change was so great that one would almost think she was two different people.

He didn’t know what kind of mentality he had. Before he could react, he had already said, “Is it because of Huo Jun? You like him now, so I have become a stranger?”

This was the best example of putting the blame on someone. If Su Yi didn’t remember who pretended to be a stranger at the beginning, she would have thought that she was the scumbag he said.

She stopped turning the leaves, looked up at him, and said curiously, “Isn’t this what you want me to do? Remember that day when you told me that our engagement was not your wish and that you liked Qin Shu? I have kept the video evidence. If you can’t remember, I can help you recall it.”

“You secretly filmed the video?”

Xie Mingzhao frowned and said angrily, “So you are pretending? What do you mean by liking me and not wanting to cancel the engagement? It’s all pretended?”

Su Yi said nonchalantly, “You can think whatever you want. I’m glad that I took the video. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to explain myself now. Don’t bother me in the future, or I guarantee that everyone in the academy will know that the admirable Senior Xie is a two-timing ‘good man’.”

Seeing her completely taking off her disguise, Xie Mingzhao frowned even more tightly, his face looking grim.

“You deceived me, and you deceived everyone else!”

Su Yi was too lazy to listen to his tone of being a victim, rolled her eyes, and said, “I lied to you, and I still need to feel bad about it?”

Besides, this is just the beginning. It won’t be too late to discuss whether it is a lie or not after she reveals her true face in front of him.

“You—”

Xie Mingzhao took a step forward, but he was blocked by someone who suddenly appeared from the side.

Huo Jun was holding two ice cream cones with the ice cream balls stacked on top of each other. They were colorful and crooked, looking a bit funny.

But some people, even if they are holding two funny ice creams in their hands, which greatly damages their image, people still dare not act recklessly just by standing there.

He handed an ice cream cone to Su Yi and asked her to be careful not to drop it. Then he straightened up and looked at Xie Mingzhao.

“Do you have something to ask my girlfriend?”

While speaking, he even took a bite of the ice cream.

The Practical Combat Department and the Command Department are both the face of the academy. Both of them are well-known figures in their respective departments, and they were once equally famous.

However, when they stood together now, a clear gap was revealed.

Compared with Xie Mingzhao’s lost grace, Huo Jun, although careless, was firmly suppressing the other party in aura.

Su Yi only took a glance at the two of them and had to admire her own good vision.

Sure enough, her choice was correct.

However…

She looked carefully at the ice cream in Huo Jun’s hand and then looked at her own.

She always felt that his ice cream ball was bigger than hers?

Could he dare to hide it?

It seems that they have to talk about it later.

Feeling her gaze on him, Huo Jun didn’t show it on his face, but he was proud in his heart. He tried even harder to exude his aura so that Su Yi could better appreciate his handsome side.
