After Transmigration, The Male Lead and I had a HE-Chapter 73

Su Qiuge was originally still calculating how much savings she had, but was shocked out of it by this sudden sentence. She quickly turned around, but directly knocked into Xie Xinglin’s chin with her forehead.

Her forehead immediately turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Su Qiuge held her forehead and took a few steps back. She said to him, “Why are you suddenly like a ghost? You scared me for a moment.”

Xie Xinglin rubbed his chin slightly with his thumb as the corner of his mouth twitched. His tone carried a slight ridicule, “Your courage is quite small.”

Su Qiuge pursed her lips, “So, how much do you lack…”

After she thought for a moment, she explained, “I’m not a loan shark trying to collect a high-interest debt. When you have money in the future, this amount of money won’t mean anything to you. But if you’re unwilling, I can calculate the interest according to Huabei.”

**t/n: Huabei offers online consumer loan services

There were also some selfish motives in doing it this way.

Once he borrowed from her through Huabei, she’ll become his Father Su.

When she said this, Xie Xinglin was fixedly looking at her, eyes dark as ink.

Then, with a sneer, Su Qiuge heard him say, “Truly easy to trick.”

Su Qiuge: ?

Su Qiuge was a little puzzled, “What do you mean?”

Xie Xinglin indifferenly said, “I meant exactly as you thought.”

Su Qiuge was bewildered, “If you’re not short of money, then why are you here?”

When she spoke halfway through, she suddenly remembered what Su Yuanzhou said about finding a hookup when they were at the restaurant. Her expression became a little complicated.

Oh my god……

Could it be……

Xie Xinglin didn’t answer, but raised his eyebrows and asked, “You also know that it’s not a good place?”

Su Qiuge curled her lips, “It also can’t be considered bad. When you’re stressed, dancing and drinking is also a way to relax. Why are you still wearing tinted glasses?”

**t/n: the ‘tinted glasses’ are metaphorical – she’s saying that Xie Xinglin is only seeing the negative aspects of the place and ignoring the good

Xie Xinglin calmly looked at her, “It’s not easy to be friendly with someone with a brain like yours.”

Su Qiuge: ???

After a long while, his calm tone was slightly strange as he slightly lengthened his tone, “If you had been forced into drunkenness by them today, do you know what would have happened?”

Su Qiuge stopped talking.

Although she’s never gone to those types of places before, she still had a sense of precaution. She knew that if she had gotten drunk, it would have been tantamount to being at the mercy of others.

Xie Xinglin slowly and unhurriedly continued, “Those drunk women would be picked up in the middle of the night, and then…”

He blinked at her with deep meanings in his eyes. When the heavy gaze fell on her, Su Qiuge had trouble breathing.

She knew all this, but when it came out of Xie Xinglin’s mouth, she still felt awkward and embarrassed.

She looked away and said, “I know, you can stop.”

Xie Xinglin slightly bent the corners of his mouth as a mocking smile appeared, “It’s called picking up corpses.”

**t/n: jian shi directly translates to “picking up corpses” and is an internet slang for targeting an intoxicated person; probably because both corpses and drunk people are often at the mercy of others

Su Qiuge couldn’t listen to him anymore and anxiously racked her brain for ways to shut him up. Finally, she became so flustered and exasperated that she said, “Then did you also go there to pick up corpses?”

The moment the sentence came out, she regretted it and lowered her head to look at her toes.

Xie Xinglin also stopped talking and looked at her with a sly expression.

Under the light of the street lamp, the emotion in his eyes were outlined by the dim light, and a type of implicit charm was created due to the formation of a darker layer in the pupil.

After a long time, he licked his lips and chuckled, “Yes.”

Su Qiuge raised her eyes and met his face. She realized that he was carefully watching her, and the eyes that fell on her were full of aggression that seemed to be invading her personal space. His voice was slow as he said, “Isn’t there a ready-made one right here?”

“……”
