Song Qiuyu knew in her heart that she was innocent and her sexual orientation was completely normal.
She used to be a straight man, and even now that she had become a girl, she was still a straight man.
Although dating meant facing more troubles, she had already considered many future issues: financial problems at home, employment after graduation, bride price, children…
Now, there was also the added issue of gender…
Someone who couldn’t even manage their own future, and whose future seemed bleak, had no right to be in a relationship.
She’d probably be a lifelong VIP in the “single and proud” club.
As for Jiang Xiao, he was still thinking about his online love interest, Shen Xi.
“You might not know how attentive Song Qiuyu is to Jiang Xiao.
Since they’re both guys and live in the same male dorm, he’s probably already taken advantage of Jiang Xiao quite a bit!”
The JK girl was getting emotional, her brows furrowed tightly as she continued.
Sang Tian didn’t say anything, just frowned slightly, an impatient expression on her face.
The JK girl seemed completely oblivious, continuing in a persuasive tone: “I’ve checked online, the gay community is really messy. Song Qiuyu approaching you might have ulterior motives. You should reject him with me; don’t be fooled by him and end up counting money for him!”
Upon hearing this, Song Qiuyu’s eye twitched slightly.
No one enjoys being gossiped about.
However, instead of being displeased, she actually felt like laughing.
Thanks to the JK girl’s agitation, she could now confirm this matter.
Sure enough, this girl wasn’t worthy of Jiang Xiao.
She was now very curious about Sang Tian’s next reaction.
Jiang Xiao glanced at Song Qiuyu’s reaction, then silently withdrew his gaze, his eyes falling on the two people in front of him, a hint of impatience in his eyes, which had darkened slightly.
“What’s with that expression? Don’t you believe me?”
The JK girl smiled mockingly at Sang Tian.
“If you don’t believe me, you can go ask his classmates yourself.”
Sang Tian’s expression grew even more impatient; she already wanted the girl to shut up.
The JK girl was also a little annoyed.
She hadn’t expected Sang Tian to remain unmoved after hearing all this, and she subconsciously wanted even more to pull Sang Tian to her side.
She gritted her teeth and continued, “You can certainly go ask about Song Qiuyu and how he treats Jiang Xiao in class—”
“Shut up!”
Sang Tian couldn’t take it anymore, suppressing her anger, she loudly stopped her.
The JK girl was startled.
Song Qiuyu’s eyes lit up, a little surprised.
She hadn’t expected this side to Sang Tian; not bad.
“You’re saying so much, but to put it plainly, aren’t you just jealous of Classmate Song?”
Sang Tian looked coldly at the JK girl.
She had seen this kind of thing since she was a child: people with nothing to do all day, just thinking of forming cliques and small groups.
Jealous of this, jealous of that.
It was bad enough to be jealous of girls, but now they weren’t even sparing boys?
Utterly boring.
The JK girl’s dark thoughts were easily exposed by Sang Tian, making her feel both annoyed and ashamed, almost unable to catch her breath.
She, however, scoffed, and said fiercely, “Jealous? What does he have that I should be jealous of?”
“Because Classmate Song is better looking than you, and his relationship with Jiang Xiao is also closer.”
Sang Tian laughed in exasperation: “You like Jiang Xiao, right? But he probably hasn’t even given you a proper look. Look how anxious you are!”
Song Qiuyu raised an eyebrow, quite satisfied.
Her judgment of people was still so accurate.
Bonus points, definitely bonus points for this.
“Stupid!”
The JK girl’s face turned red with agitation, desperate to hide her panic, her voice rising sharply and becoming somewhat piercing.
“I’m doing this all for your own good. When your beloved is taken away by him someday, then you’ll regret it!”
Hearing these words, Jiang Xiao’s eyes grew colder and more irritated.
Song Qiuyu, of course, didn’t miss Jiang Xiao’s reaction.
She clearly understood his thoughts and immediately walked over.
This made Jiang Xiao pause.
Not just him, the JK girl also quickly noticed Song Qiuyu approaching and was startled.
She remembered that she had just been gossiping about Song Qiuyu.
She felt a bit cowardly at first, but then a thought crossed her mind, and she calmed down.
What was there to be afraid of? Wasn’t everything she said the truth?
Hmm?
She noticed someone else behind Song Qiuyu – it was Jiang Xiao.
Why was Jiang Xiao here too?
The JK girl instantly panicked.
Even though she believed she was in the right, she wasn’t foolish.
She could clearly tell who Jiang Xiao would believe in this situation—it would definitely be Song Qiuyu!
She had heard that they were roommates in junior high.
She, someone Jiang Xiao had only met a few times, would only be disliked by him, seen as a gossiping busybody.
The JK girl didn’t know what to do for a moment and just stood there stunned.
Her strange change was, of course, fully noticed by Sang Tian.
Sang Tian turned her head and, upon seeing Song Qiuyu approach, froze for two seconds.
Then, she remembered the JK girl’s words, and a look of nervousness appeared on her face.
Had Classmate Song already heard what they were saying?
She couldn’t help but worry.
Then, Song Qiuyu smiled and walked towards the two of them, yet didn’t spare a glance for the JK girl.
Her gaze fell solely on Sang Tian, as she reminded her:
“Sang Tian, it’s almost time. Let’s go back and rehearse.”
Song Qiuyu’s expression was calm and collected, showing no sign of having been discussed.
She completely ignored the JK girl, not even acknowledging her!
The JK girl’s pupils widened.
She stared in disbelief at Song Qiuyu approaching, certain that the other party had heard what she said.
However, no matter how much she stared, she received no response.
It was as if she were air.
Compared to verbal abuse and physical confrontation, the attack delivered by being ignored was like a sharp blade plunged deep into her heart.
The blade drew no blood, but it was deadly.
The JK girl felt as if she could almost hear Song Qiuyu’s unspoken sound, a mocking laugh.
Song Qiuyu didn’t take her seriously.
She glanced at Jiang Xiao behind Song Qiuyu, clenched her fists tightly, and immediately felt her face flush with anger.
She wanted to lash out but didn’t have the courage to reveal her true nature in front of the person she admired.
Her cowardice fueled her unvented shame and anger to a peak.
She was frantic and furious, wanting to grind her teeth.
If only Song Qiuyu had cursed her even once, she would have had an opportunity to lash out!
Even Sang Tian was stunned.
To her, it didn’t seem like Song Qiuyu hadn’t heard.
If she truly hadn’t heard, she wouldn’t have ignored the JK girl so completely.
So, Classmate Song had heard.
And was angry.
But if she was angry, why was she holding back? To deal with someone who spreads rumors, one should use an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth!
Otherwise, this person would dare to do it again next time.
Jiang Xiao also paused, but only for a moment, then a faint smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
This was how Song Qiuyu dealt with gossip, just like three years ago.
No change at all.
