Chapter 198: Who Said Dating Would Hinder Studying?

Yan Xiu narrowed his eyes and took in Murong Qiao and Huo Yichen’s intimate behavior without saying anything. Instead, he pulled his luggage into the car on his own.
Murong Qiao’s head was buried in Huo Yichen’s chest, so she naturally didn’t see that her Fourth Brother had already swaggered out of the airport exit and into a car.
As Murong Chen was waiting for them at home, he saw Yan Xiu coming back alone and was dumbfounded.
After asking about the situation, Murong Chen glared at Yan Xiu and turned around to call Murong Qiao.
“Fourth Brother has already gone back?” Murong Qiao was a little surprised.
She was still waiting at the airport. After hugging Huo Yichen, Murong Qiao had been staring at the exit. Seeing that her Fourth Brother had not come out for a long time, she thought that he had delayed his flight, but she didn’t expect him to have gone home long ago.
Murong Qiao didn’t think too much about it and went home after bidding Huo Yichen goodbye.
However, the moment she opened the door, she saw Murong Chen reprimanding Yan Xiu.
“I remember informing you about our sister picking you up.” Murong Chen looked at Yan Xiu with a headache. “How could you come back alone? Where did you leave our Little Sister?”
He didn’t expect the usually cold Fourth Brother to be able to do such a thing and Murong Chen felt that this wasn’t his style.
However, when he thought about how Murong Qiao had waited at the airport for a long time and even stood there stupidly without knowing anything, Murong Chen’s heart instantly leaned towards his Little Sister.
“You’re her elder brother after all—” Murong Chen wanted to lecture him, but he was interrupted by Yan Xiu before he could finish.
“When I came out, 1 saw her hugging a man.” Yan Xiu suddenly changed the topic and brought the focus back to Murong Qiao.
Murong Qiao, who was listening to their conversation, was stunned. Then, she realized that Yan Xiu was talking about her and Huo Yichen.
At that time, Fourth Brother was present?
While Murong Qiao was in a daze, Murong Chen also understood what Yan Xiu meant, so he looked at Murong Qiao dangerously.
For a moment, Murong Chen had already thought about where that man’s grave would be buried.
Sensing her Big Brother’s gaze, Murong Qiao hurriedly waved her hand and explained.
“We’re just ordinary friends, Big Brother.” She almost revealed the panic in her heart.
Murong Qiao softened her voice and pretended to be calm as she gave a reason and there was no sign of lying on her face.
Two days ago, her Big Brother had told her to stay away from Huo Yichen. If he knew that she was hugging that same person at the airport, something bad would happen.
“We haven’t seen each other for a long time, so we hugged excitedly. He just came back from overseas.” Murong Qiao felt a chill on her neck and added, “In other countries, it’s normal to kiss and hug.”
Most foreigners were passionate and unrestrained. In addition, Little Sister had always known her limits. Therefore, after hearing Murong Qiao’s explanation, Murong Chen narrowed his eyes and believed Murong Qiao’s words.
However, he was still a little worried and reminded her.
“It’s not good to fall in love too early. It’s not like Big Brother doesn’t want you to fall in love…” He said earnestly.
Murong Qiao nodded repeatedly and heaved a sigh of relief. At least she managed to fool them this time.
Yan Xiu sat at the side and watched the siblings’ performance. He didn’t say anything, but when he saw that Murong Chen obviously believed Murong Qiao’s casual explanation, he laughed with a meaningful expression.
Murong Chen was biased towards her, but that didn’t mean that he was the same. As someone who had seen the two of them hug, Yan Xiu was 100% sure that Murong Qiao had an extraordinary relationship with that man.
He didn’t say anything. Then, he swiped open the tablet beside him and looked at it. He didn’t intend to talk about this in detail.
“Yes, yes, I understand.” Murong Qiao nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
Murong Chen saw that her attitude was sincere, so he didn’t say anything more. He didn’t want things to go the other way either.
Seeing that her Big Brother had stopped, Murong Qiao stole a glance at her Fourth Brother, who was sitting at the side. She was secretly glad that he did not continue talking about this matter. Otherwise, she might not have been able to hide it.
Murong Chen, who didn’t know that the man was Huo Yichen, missed the chance to find out the truth again.
“You’ve waited for so long today. If you’re tired, go back to your room and rest for a while,” Murong Chen said with concern.
At the thought that his Little Sister had waited for so long, Murong Chen couldn’t help but glare at Yan Xiu.
The meeting with her Fourth Brother was different from what Murong Qiao had imagined. When she finally saw him for the first time, she had to focus all her attention on explaining herself. Due to a freak combination of factors, the two of them did not officially greet each other.
Unfortunately, Murong Qiao’s leave was up. She could only bid farewell to her family reluctantly and return to school to revise bitterly.
The exam was approaching, and the atmosphere in Hui University became tense.
Even after entering university, Murong Qiao had never relaxed her expectations of herself. With Huo Yichen’s help, she was well-prepared and walked into the examination hall.
“After the exam, I feel liberated…” Yang Xin stretched.
Today was the first day after the exams. The school had also considerately given a small holiday to the students. When Yang Xin woke up, she was reminded that she no longer had to stay in the library and immediately felt energetic.
“You’re going to relax just like that?” Leng Yan turned around and teased her. “Have you forgotten that the results will be out today?”
Hui University’s efficiency made the students wail endlessly. The results would usually be released on the day the exam ended.
Murong Qiao pursed her lips and tidied up the desk before interrupting.
“It’s almost winter break. It’s time to tidy up the dormitory.” She sighed.
In the past, Murong Qiao would have been happy to hear that it was winter break because it’d mean that she could go home and reunite with her family. However, it was different this time.
An important place in Murong Qiao’s heart had been occupied by Huo Yichen, and the winter break meant that their separation was gradually approaching. For the first time, Murong Qiao didn’t hate the school so much. She didn’t seem to mind continuing to study here.
“That’s fast.” Leng Yan heaved a sigh of relief. “1 feel like a semester has passed before we’ve done anything.”
Yang Xin nodded in agreement and glanced at Murong Qiao, who seemed to be in low spirits.
Although she was careless, she had always been sensitive to emotions. Therefore, when she saw that Murong Qiao didn’t say much, she understood why after thinking for a while.
“Qiaoqiao, don’t be sad. The winter break will pass soon.” Yang Xin didn’t know what else to say.
She wasn’t as experienced as Murong Qiao in dating. It wouldn’t make sense for her to guide her, so Yang Xin could only rack her brains to cheer her up.
“When I come back, I’ll give you my family’s specialties!” Yang Xin suddenly suggested.
Leng Yan did not say anything. She flipped through her cell phone and suddenly looked happy.
“The results are out.” She handed the phone to the two of them.
Yang Xin was close and saw the contents at a glance. Murong Qiao also took a look.
The results list was for the entire school. Murong Qiao and Huo Yichen’s names were illustrious and ranked first.
One was the number one in the Department of Economics and Management, while the other was the number one in the Department of Finance.
The exam this time was quite difficult. With everyone complaining, Murong Qiao and Huo Yichen’s first place was especially eye-catching.
Moreover, there were usually many people who liked the two of them. This time, the two of them coincidentally also became the focus of the exam.
“You two are too abnormal!” Yang Xin clicked her tongue. “There’s such a benefit to being in a relationship?”
It was already heaven-defying enough to have one star student. In the end, not only were the two star students dating each other, but they could also dominate the top of the rankings under such circumstances. It was really unbelievable to Yang Xin.
Wasn’t dating said to hinder studies?
Yang Xin stared at the report card and suddenly had an idea.
F*ck, I was tricked by my high school teacher..
