In the classroom.
While Xue Xi was looking at the Moguls’ Group chat message, the talkative Qin Shuang was still talking. “Why do you think my husband got a girlfriend now? Who exactly is that mysterious girlfriend of his?”
“Ah ah ah, he spent two million on a bag! He’s so willing to spend money on his girlfriend. It’d be so blissful to be his girlfriend. Sob…”
“Sister Xi, I still can’t accept it. My husband cheated on me! But I know that I have to be rational and not chase after celebrities. I should give him my blessings with tears in my eyes. Do you think his girlfriend is an actress or a vegetarian?”
Xue Xi was stunned.
That chatterbox must have said ten thousand words. What stuck was, one bag cost two million?
The chatterbox wanted to continue nagging but it was time for class. If it were someone else’s class, she might have continued talking. However, when Old Liu entered, the chatterbox turned around quietly and Xue Xi’s ears could finally be at peace.
However, five minutes later, a note was thrown onto Xue Xi’s desk by Qin Shuang.
She opened it and saw the words on it. “Wuwuwu, Sister Xi, who is the vixen who seduced my husband?”
Xue Xi: “…”
After being harassed by Qin Shuang for a period, Old Liu had just left the classroom when Qin Shuang turned around. Just as she was about to speak, Xue Xi interrupted, “She’s not his girlfriend but his mother.”
Qin Shuang paused. “Huh?”
Xue Xi heaved a sigh of relief. Afraid that this fellow would start speaking again, she could not help but interrupt. “The bag is for his mother, not a vixen.”
Qin Shuang paused and asked suspiciously, “How did you know?”
Xue Xi replied seriously, “He said it himself.”
Qin Shuang was stunned. She looked at her from head to toe and her lips twitched. “Sister Xi, I’m so touched. You’ve finally learned how to sweet-talk people!”
“…”
“Sigh, although I know that you’re lying to me, I’m still very touched. I wasn’t going to tell you this, but I’ve been thinking for some time and suddenly realized that my husband is the most influential person in the country. I’m afraid that Weibo will be paralyzed for three days this time! Your matter will be directly suppressed!”
Xue Xi was stunned.
Qin Shuang continued sighing. “Sister Xi, your luck is really extraordinary!”
Xue Xi did not listen to the chatterbox anymore.
From what Old Liu and Qin Shuang had said, she knew that there were some negative comments about her on Weibo. Meanwhile, Cen Bai had created a huge scandal and suppressed that topic’s popularity.
Xue Xi’s emotional quotient was low, but her IQ was high. She could see through everything easily.
She suddenly realized something…
She picked up her phone and private-messaged Omnipotent Boss: “Teacher, are you doing this for me?”
Omnipotent Boss replied: “Yes.”
Xue Xi’s heart warmed. It turned out that without her even realizing it, her teacher had done so many things to protect her. She was filled with emotions as she replied.
Learning: “Teacher, you are so good to me.”
In the provision store.
Xiang Huai held his phone and saw these words. A smile flashed across his dark brown eyes.
The kid looks cold, but her heart is actually very soft.
But is that all?
He replied: “I can treat you even better.”
Learning: “I will repay you.”
Repay?
The corners of Xiang Huai’s thin lips turned up as his handsome and sharp eyes softened. “I don’t know how I could.”
Learning: “But if one is driven, one can do one’s best.”
The kid’s serious attitude was adorable.
However…
Xiang Huai asked: “Anything is fine?”
Learning: “Yes.”
Xiang Huai looked at this word and seemed to have thought of something. His sexy Adam’s apple moved as he chuckled. His slender and fair fingers tapped on the keyboard. “You said it yourself. Don’t regret it in the future.”
Looking at this reply, Xue Xi felt that the teacher’s tone was weird, but she did not think much and continued to focus on her questions.
There was silence on Weibo.
However, the next day, the entire international high school blew up!
Because the Best Actor, Cen Bai, who had caused Weibo to be paralyzed, had come to Bin City. He was going to film a campus romance and he chose the international high school for the shoot.
Xue Xi, who was unaware of this, was currently having breakfast in the provision store.
After understanding her preferences and knowing from Uncle Liu that she had been having breakfast with her “boyfriend” every day, Ye Li decided to prepare three servings of Chinese-style breakfast for her to eat.
After all, her daughter was obsessed with her studies. She’d be too embarrassed to object to anything when she fell in love during breakfast!
The Xue family’s breakfast was exquisite and the three of them were very satisfied.
After having her fill, Xue Xi tugged at Xiang Huai’s hand.
The man sat on the stool and rested his chin on one hand while staring at the little kid. There were no pores on the girl’s palm-sized face and her face was full of collagen, making one feel like pinching it.
Xiang Huai raised an eyebrow. “Little kid, do you want to spar?”
Xue Xi did not reply immediately. She was seriously holding the man’s hand. When she felt the pain in her chest subside, she turned to look at him. A glint flashed across her misty eyes. “Sure.”
Ever since she learned military boxing, she felt that martial arts was quite interesting. Unfortunately, Canine Teeth no longer taught her and did not play with her. Now that there was a target looking for torture, why not?
Moreover, her heart hurt whenever she wanted to hit this man.
But sparring…
Xue Xi stood up in high spirits and stretched her muscles. She then took a step back with her right foot and clenched her fists in preparation.
Xiang Huai stood up leisurely and hooked his finger at Xue Xi. “Come.”
The next moment, Xue Xi kicked the man’s chest.
Coupled with the old and new hatred, she used all her strength in this kick. It was swift and ruthless, but the man dodged lightly and avoided the key position. Her ankle was easily pressed by the man and she pulled hard.
Xue Xi threw herself into the man’s arms!
Coincidentally, Xiang Huai had one hand on her waist and the other slid across her cheeks…
Xue Xi felt that the hand on her waist was shockingly hot. Her pupils shrank, and she was about to fly into a rage when the man released her at the right time and took a step back.
Just as Xue Xi was in a daze, he slowly said, “Although you are fast, the flaw is too obvious. You should…”
Xue Xi was instantly distracted and forgot about being frivolous.
In Xue Xi’s eyes, Xiang Huai had always been an expert in tricks. Now that he had suddenly displayed such strength, not only did she not feel cheated, she even felt a sense of excitement as though she had met an expert.
In the future, she could learn more!
When Xiang Huai was done, Xue Xi wanted to pester him to spar again, but he reminded her, “You’re going to be late for school soon.”
Xue Xi then left.
After she left, Xiang Huai lowered his head to look at his hands.
The touch between his fingers seemed to still be there. He could not help but think that the little kid’s waist could be broken with just one hand…
And her face was really tender and smooth…
