Chapter 55 - Modern

Just as Sister Lin was about to ask more questions, the school bell rang and interrupted their conversation.

Qiao Yue had class to attend, so Sister Lin didn’t keep her.

When the class saw Qiao Yue come back, they were all curious if the tigress had scolded him. But the bell had already sounded, so they could only leave their questions until after class.

Just when Qiao Yue thought that she could nap peacefully after the matter, a set of photos was posted on the school forum and became a trending thread in less than two minutes.

“People! Does anyone know what’s going on between the transfer student and the tigress?”

Expanding on the post revealed a series of photos shot secretly by students, showing Qiao Yue and the tigress walking side by side on the field.

The intimidating tigress, who was usually straight-faced, made people forget that she was only 1.62 meters tall. She looked like a petite girlfriend walking next to Qiao Yue.

If one ignored the tigress’s age and clothing, the two of them looked like an ordinary young couple on campus.

“Is that the tigress? You don’t say. I didn’t even notice it when I saw the first picture.”

“Previous comment +1, I couldn’t tell from the first picture either.”

“Is the tigress so short? I always thought she was 1.7 meters tall!”

“Also, how tall is the tigress?”

“You guys are off topic! Didn’t you read the question the original poster asked? I’m also curious! What is the relationship between the tigress and the transfer student? I’ve never seen such a gentle side of the tigress.”

“Right, right, right. Can students from the same class as the transfer student explain, please? What’s the relationship between the transfer student and the tigress?”

“Raised hand emoji. I’m Qiao Yue’s classmate, but I also don’t know what’s going on. The tigress saw clutter on Qiao Yue’s desk and asked him to clear his desk without saying much. After class, the tigress asked Qiao Yue to leave with her. All of us thought that Qiao Yue would be reprimanded, but who knew that he came back looking fine.”

As soon as the paragraph was refreshed, a row of question marks appeared on the screen. Obviously, it was amazing to be able to survive the tigress.

At this moment, the original poster commented.

“The tigress seemed to be in a good mood when I saw her just now. Could it be that she and the transfer student…”

Following the original poster’s comment, the audience went into a frenzy of wild guesses.

“I also saw the tigress’ kind face…”

“Did the previous commenter learned Chinese from the P.E teacher? Kind? Why don’t you just praise her to the heavens?”

The conversation between the two was like a cross talk, and it amused the people who commented after, until someone remembered what they were discussing.

“Could the tigress and the transfer student be in that kind of relationship?”

“No way! The age gap is too big!”

With this random guess, the next comments went off track. Some said that she was Qiao Yue’s sister, some said that the tigress was Qiao Yue’s private tutor, and some even said that Qiao Yue was the tigress’s lover before he was brought back to the Qiao family.

Until one comment appeared, which instantly stopped all conjectures.

“Jiang Chao from year three class six of the journalism school, please come to the office after class.”

The students who were browsing the forum were still in the mood for gossip, but when they saw the profile picture of the person who posted the comment, they instantly turned off their phones.

What did they just see? The tigress! The tigress herself had joined the battle! It was too terrifying!

Some of the students who didn’t believe it felt that it was a prank. They were instantly dumbfounded when they clicked into the commenter’s information page. It was really the person in question who had joined the discussion.

The discussion thread disappeared within the minute, quicker than how it became a trending topic.

The classroom, which was initially filled with the teacher’s voice, suddenly filled with a wave of gasps. Many students turned their heads at the same time and saw the fear in the others’ eyes. The original poster who was in the same class as Qiao Yue was on the verge of tears. Why was he so nosy? Why did he reply?

Qiao Yue napped in peace and rode through this storm in a teacup. As for what happened to the other student after that, there was no need to say more!

It was probably because of this incident that Qiao Yue didn’t get into more trouble for the rest of the day. Instead, her classmates peeked at her somewhat fearfully.
