Chapter 426 - Xue Xi Is Full of Questions
Mr. Guo smiled. “That’s right, Xue Xi. Do you still remember?”
When Feng Xingshen heard this, he suddenly realized something. He hurriedly picked up his phone and looked at the time. “Have the freshmen started school?”
He had been engrossed in scientific research recently and had been living in darkness. He could not even remember the date of the month.
Mr. Guo paused. “Yes.”
Feng Xingshen said, “School started well!”
He had a mathematics problem here and coincidentally encountered a bottleneck. Sister Xi was here, so wasn’t he encountering a savior just when he needed it?
He picked up his phone and was about to call Xue Xi when he saw Mr. Guo standing beside him. He frowned. “Is there anything else?”
Mr. Guo shook his head. “Nothing.”
After Mr. Guo left, Feng Xingshen was about to call Xue Xi.
As for the detestable student that Mr. Guo had just mentioned, he’d been too engrossed in his research to listen.
…
In the laboratory.
Xue Xi had already quickly calculated many questions.
At this moment, her phone rang. She took a look and realized that it was Feng Xingshen. Hence, she casually picked up the call and placed it aside before switching on the speaker mode.
Feng Xingshen’s voice sounded. “Sister Xi, you’re at Huaxia University?”
Xue Xi: “…Mhm.”
Feng Xingshen: “Then you must be a little busy with school matters. When are you free? Come look for me.”
Xue Xi looked at the questions in front of her.
Mr. Guo had increased their calculations by half. Zhang Hao and the other boys were going to stay up all night, and she herself had to calculate for another two hours to help Xie Yingying.
It should be done at about seven in the evening. After having dinner, she still had to study when she returned to the dormitory. She was not free today.
She thought about it and said, “I should be free this weekend.”
“Alright, come look for me in my office this weekend!”
“Okay.”
Feng Xingshen continued, “By the way, if you encounter any problems at Huaxia University, you can look for me anytime!”
“Okay.”
After Feng Xingshen hung up, Xie Yingying, who heard her phone call, asked without looking up, “Sister Xi, who was it?”
It sounded like an old man, but why was he calling her Sister Xi?
Xue Xi replied, “Feng Xingshen.”
Xie Yingying: “…”
The other three: “…”
The laboratory fell into a strange silence for a few seconds. Just as they were anxiously calculating, the scribbling on the paper suddenly stopped and everyone turned to look at Xue Xi.
The corners of Xie Yingying’s lips twitched. “Sister Xi, this joke is not funny at all.”
Xue Xi did not explain further and wrote a number on the paper.
Only then did the rest notice that while they were writing drafts on a scratch paper, Xue Xi was actually staring at the calculations on the paper and calculating directly. She did not write any drafts at all.
So, she was actually calculating just now?
At 7 PM, after Xue Xi finished calculating the questions for Xie Yingying, the two of them walked out of the laboratory under the envious gazes of the other three boys and went to eat.
Just as she left the laboratory building, another person ran over and gave Xue Xi a flyer before running away.
Xue Xi lowered her head to take a look and realized that it was a “Learning Club” recruitment activity. However, the phone number that was left behind was still the same as in the afternoon?
Are all the recruitment numbers for different clubs the same?
Xue Xi shook her head and threw the paper into the bin beside her.
By the time she and Xie Yingying entered the canteen, it was already dinnertime. Both of them were very famished.
The skinny person was dressed in a denim jacket. He scratched his head and looked confused. “Didn’t you say that she loves to study the most? Why didn’t she join the club? What should we do now?”
The other tall man, who was 1.9 meters tall, was like a bamboo pole. His clothes swayed when they were stuck to his body. He said, “Looks like we can only use ruthless methods!”
…
After Xue Xi and Xie Yingying had dinner, Xie Yingying looked at the window and suddenly said, “Zhang Hao and the rest haven’t eaten much since noon. Why don’t I buy some food and send it to them?”
Xue Xi nodded. “Alright, I’ll return to the dormitory first.”
Since those boys were hostile to her, she would not join in the fun.
Xie Yingying nodded.
Xie Yingying went to buy a few buns and returned to the laboratory. She said, “Sister Xi is treating you guys to buns!”
Zhang Hao did not mind. He took one and started eating.
The other two boys had cold expressions.
Someone said, “No need. I’ll eat it by myself later. I won’t eat the buns of such hypocrites!”
The other person nodded. “Yes, we won’t eat it.”
Xie Yingying bit her lip. “Sister Xi is not what you think. She…”
The two boys sneered. “Do you think we’ll trust you or the teachers more?”
Xie Yingying turned around angrily and left. Xue Xi had no idea what she had done.
She left the canteen and walked toward the dormitory. On the way, she bumped into a short person who was distributing flyers. That person placed a gaudy piece of paper in her hands and slipped away.
Xue Xi: “?”
She lowered her head to take a look and realized that this was the promotional paper for “All kinds of clubs recruiting new members.” The phone number was still the same.
Xue Xi: “…”
Why is this person so stubborn?
She felt that this club was even more unreliable. Hence, she simply threw the publicity paper into the bin.
When she returned to the dormitory, Xue Xi picked up the book she had bought from Country M. At 9 PM, her phone rang.
She took a look and realized that it was Xiang Huai. Her lips curled up slightly as she answered the call. She then heard Xiang Huai say, “Did you receive a call from any club?”
Xue Xi: “…No.”
Xiang Huai said, “Did you offend someone? I went to investigate and found that you were originally on the list of those clubs’ admissions, but when they called you to confirm, they found that you rejected them.”
Xue Xi: “?”
From the beginning to the end, she had never received a call, alright?!
What’s going on?
While she was deep in thought, she had already switched on her computer and checked her call log. She realized that a hacker had tampered with the data, causing the call to be transferred.
Her first reaction was that Gu Yunqing had gotten someone to create trouble again. However, when she followed the internet address and found the phone number where the calls had been transferred, she was filled with question marks when she saw the familiar number.
Wasn’t this the number of the people who had been giving her flyers?
No…
He had sabotaged her and made her reject the recruitment of all the clubs, then sent her the recruitment notices frequently?
What did this mean?
Xue Xi did not understand!
Looking at the string of numbers on the computer, she paused and decided to call to ask what was going on.
She hung up Xiang Huai’s call and dialed that number…
