Chapter 110: A Bit Adorable

He Shi: How about you go ask Bai Ge?
The Bai Ge He Shi mentioned was Bai Beixing, the heir to the Bai Group. He had grown up alongside Xie Xu and He Shi, and they had a good relationship.
However, the one thing Bai Beixing had in common with neither of them was that he was a notorious playboy. Unlike Xie Xu and He Shi, who, after more than ten years, had never been in a relationship, Bai Beixing had dated countless girls and was truly a master of romance.
He Shi thought it was a good idea to ask Bai Beixing because, given his romantic history, he surely knew how to soothe an upset woman.
He originally wanted to call Bai Beixing but reconsidered after glancing at the people nearby. First, Lu Yiqi was right beside him, making a phone call inconvenient; second, class was about to start, leaving no time for a proper conversation. Such a short time wouldn’t suffice anyway.
Xie Xu decided to send Bai Beixing a WeChat message, since the latter was probably not paying attention in class either.
Xie Xu: Come out, I have a question for you.
It took Bai Beixing a full five minutes to reply.
Bai Beixing: What’s up? Just now a girl handed me a love letter, so I didn’t see your message. By the way, you’re asking me something? That’s unusual.
Xie Xu: …
Xie Xu: I just want to ask, how do you calm a woman down when she’s angry?
This time Bai Beixing responded instantly.
Bai Beixing: A woman? Hearing that from you is truly rare. Let alone calming one down—Xie Xu, do you have a girl you like?

Xie Xu: No! It’s my friend who wants to know how to soothe an angry woman.
Bai Beixing: As everyone knows, when people say “friend” while asking questions, they usually mean themselves.
Bai Beixing: Also, the exclamation mark at the end—tsk, Xie Xu, you better confess honestly; confess and be lenient, resist and be severe.
Bai Beixing: Tell me, who is the girl?
Xie Xu stared at the three messages from Bai Beixing, momentarily at a loss for words. He stealthily glanced sideways. Lu Yiqi was genuinely mad at him, not even sparing a glance in his direction. Instead, she focused intently on the blackboard, looking like she understood everything perfectly. If it weren’t for the fact that this was math class, Xie Xu might have believed she actually got it.
He spoke up: “Hey, if you don’t understand, don’t torture yourself.”
Caught pretending to pay attention, Lu Yiqi puffed out her cheeks in annoyance and turned her head away, refusing to engage.
What was stranger still was that Xie Xu found Lu Yiqi’s anger at him somehow cuter than usual.
He was shocked by this thought himself.
Lowering his gaze to his phone, he saw several more messages from Bai Beixing.
Bai Beixing: Answer me, Xie Xu!
Bai Beixing: Are you avoiding me because you’re guilty and I guessed everything right?
Bai Beixing: Scoundrel! Our brotherhood is over—you’ve been secretly dating without telling me.

Xie Xu: …
Bai Beixing: What’s with the exclamation mark? Guilty conscience?
Xie Xu: Guilty my foot.
Bai Beixing: Then answer me.
Xie Xu: Fine, I admit it—I do find a certain girl a bit cute lately.
Bai Beixing: Just a bit?
Xie Xu: …
Xie Xu: Very cute. Super cute. The cutest in the universe.
Bai Beixing: That’s more like it. Xie Xu, I didn’t expect you to like the cute type. I thought you’d be into either innocent little darlings or aloof, unapproachable mature women.
Xie Xu: …Enough, let’s get to the point. She’s angry—how do I soothe her?
Bai Beixing: Calming her down? That’s easy…
