Male protagonist and Song Lingxi's son. A genius from an ordinary family who could crush everyone with just his IQ. He ranked first in the grade and stole the attention of teachers and classmates. He is extraordinarily handsome with a sharp character, described as having the demeanor of bamboo grown in the cold spring, unyielding in the wind. He had a conflict with Zong Fei because Zong Fei was the son of Zong Xuecheng (his father's lover) and because Zong Fei was surrounded by people who bullied others. Xie Qiao was beaten by four people including Zong Fei, resulting in bruises on his face and a swollen cheek. He is described as the second villain in the novel who needs redemption.
