420: Chapter 420: More Than Just a Coincidence 420: Chapter 420: More Than Just a Coincidence The new day ca along with a new campus.
Lin Xi was chatting with her roommate, and she ntioned wanting to go on a trip.
She spoke about the advantages of travelling, like seeing new places, and perhaps even eting like-minded friends.
Incidentally, Lin Xi ntioned how she got to know Ning Qi, who had visited their dorm last ti, through a trip.
All of these were actually cover-ups, with the real motive being to let Yang Xinran hear it.
Lin Xi discretely observed the changes in Yang Xinran.
However, Yang Xinran remained unmoved, looking utterly calm, almost as if the na Ning Qi was quite unfamiliar to her.
Seeing Yang Xinran’s natural reaction, Lin Xi slightly furrowed her brows.
Could it be that Yang Xinran did not know Ning Qi at all?
What exactly was going on?
At this mont, Lin Xi really wanted to probe into Yang Xinran’s mories.
However, she had promised Gu Fan not to intrude into people’s minds randomly, which is why Lin Xi had deliberately stopped practicing this supernatural power.
After her unsuccessful probing, Lin Xi felt like she was back at a dead-end.
How had Ning Qi co to know Lin Xi’s location at the university through Yang Xinran?
How did Ning Qi know that Yang Xinran was Lin Xi’s roommate?
Lin Xi felt a crucial detail had been overlooked.
Therefore, she found Gu Fan during lunch break.
While eating, they also chatted.
When Gu Fan learned about it, he was sowhat disappointed, “Really?
Yang Xinran didn’t react at all to the na Ning Qi?
Is she pretending?”
Lin Xi shook her head in response, “I don’t think so.
Yang Xinran was even surprised when I ntioned I’d brought a friend over.”
“Are you sure about your observations?
How confident are you?” Gu Fan expressed so doubt, which led Lin Xi to scoff, “If I could use my supernatural power to read minds, I could be 100 percent certain whether Yang Xinran is pretending or not.
But didn’t I promise you I wouldn’t use mind-reading?”
Seeing that Lin Xi was annoyed, Gu Fan imdiately started to appease her, “You made a good promise and you’re doing the right thing by keeping it.
I trust your judgnt.”
“Whatever,” Lin Xi rolled her eyes at Gu Fan.
Subsequently, Gu Fan sunk into his worries, “What to do?
It seems impossible to get a breakthrough from Yang Xinran’s side.
And we don’t even know where Ning Qi is.
I wish we had kept her contact.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Xi’s expression turned cold.
“What do you an?
Why do you want to have her contact?
Do you have a thing for her?”
Realizing he had tipped the vinegar jar, Gu Fan hurried to explain, “How could I possibly have a thing for her?
How can I like soone who planned to abandon all of us and escape alone?
I’m just trying to help you.”
Lin Xi looked serious, “Listen, Gu Fan, I don’t want you to get deliberately close to any woman to help .
Even if I am in real danger, you can’t have contact with Ning Qi.”
“Okay, okay, I got it.
I won’t even glance at Ning Qi,” Gu Fan hurriedly promised, showing his loyalty to Lin Xi.
At this mont, Yang Xinran ca over.
Seeing Gu Fan and Lin Xi, she said with a smile, “Well, you two are having lunch together.
You’re almost like an old married couple, yet you behave like you’re still madly in love.”
At this, Gu Fan felt awkward while Lin Xi maintained her composure on the surface.
However, inside, she was resentful.
She had planned to build a friendly relationship with Yang Xinran, but now it appeared Yang Xinran might have conspired with the enemy.
Lin Xi answered calmly, “Yes, unlike you, Yang Xinran.
You just got a boyfriend recently.
I heard that you danced pretty hard at the welcoming party.
You really went all out for this relationship.”
Yang Xinran frowned at the sarcasm in Lin Xi’s words.
She looked displeased and then walked away.
Lin Xi watched Yang Xinran’s retreating back, “Look, I made a slight displeasing comnt and she imdiately showed a long face.
She doesn’t know how to act.”
Seeing that Yang Xinran really didn’t know Ning Qi, what kind of connection could there be?” Gu Fan pondered but couldn’t figure it out, so he decided not to think about it.
Soone passed by and greeted Lin Xi.
They also asked her why she wasn’t leading the dance at the last welcoming party.
Lin Xi casually gave a reason, saying that she wasn’t feeling well and couldn’t perform.
That was enough to settle the matter.
Gu Fan sighed, “Last ti, Yang Xinran’s boyfriend ca to visit.
Yang Xinran wanted to perform well in front of her boyfriend, so she asked to lead the dance.
You generously agreed.
Why doesn’t she appreciate your kindness?”
Lin Xi sighed, “Perhaps, in her opinion, I wielded control over the dance lead for too long.
She thinks it was high ti I stepped down.”
“Wait a minute,” Gu Fan seed to have grasped the crux of the problem.
He furrowed his brows and began to think, “Yang Xinran only started to plot against you after she was manipulated, which was on the day of the welcoming party.
However, that day, Yang Xinran’s boyfriend was also present.
You told that Qian Ying needs to touch soone to control them.
But Yang Xinran’s boyfriend was likely to be with her, so how could Qian Ying have touched Yang Xinran?
I heard from Gu Ling that she’d detected abnormalities in the teaching building quite early on, which ans that Qian Ying had been inside the building for a long ti.
She didn’t go to the welco party.
How could she have touched Yang Xinran?”
“Yes?” Lin Xi also realized the problem.
“Yang Xinran specially ca to to ask to lead the dance in order to perform better in front of her boyfriend.
So, I can be sure that she was the real Yang Xinran at that ti.
If Qian Ying had controlled Yang Xinran, she would have co directly after instead of asking for the lead position.
She would have never helped Yang Xinran to please her boyfriend.”
After much thought, Lin Xi’s expression slightly changed, “I heard from the dance club mbers that Yang Xinran’s boyfriend even waited for her backstage, and they left together.”
“That’s what’s strange.
Yang Xinran and her boyfriend left as usual, but when she returned to the dormitory, she was acting odd.” Gu Fan continued to think, “After you go back, try to subtly find out when Yang Xinran started dating.”
Lin Xi responded directly, “They haven’t been together for long.
Not long before, she was complaining about no one pursuing her.
We told her it wasn’t that no one was chasing her but that they didn’t dare to pursue her.
Then, suddenly, at the welcoming party, she told her boyfriend was coming.
It caught by surprise.”
Gu Fan stroked his chin, “Sothing’s fishy.
On the day of the welcoming party, both Ning Qi and Yang Xinran’s boyfriend ca.
It can’t just be a coincidence.”
