The way he looked, as if he were terrified of being misunderstood by his girlfriend, made Xu Su's heart skip a beat.
"We've already broken up. You don't have to explain any of this to me." Xu Su stood up, a little embarrassed. She didn't want to be alone with him. "Xi Zirong, let's keep our distance at school from now on. It'll be better for both of us."
"Let me finish," Xi Zirong said, reaching out to grab her. "I didn't move away, so Gu Yunjia just steadied my arm. Other than that, there's absolutely nothing between us. Do you believe me?"
Startled by the sudden grip on her arm, Xu Su tried to pull away in a panic. "I get it, I get it! Are you done talking yet?"
"Yes, I've explained everything I wanted to." Xi Zirong let go of her hand and watched her quietly. "Xu Su, can you answer a few questions for me?"
Xu Su hesitated for a moment before giving a stiff nod.
"How did you feel when you thought Gu Yunjia and I were kissing?"
"...I don't remember."
