Just as Xue Yao was waiting to see a joke, Gao Yanchen brought his subordinates reluctantly and they shouted in harmony, “Sister Xi!”

S-Sister Xi?

The whole cla.s.sroom fell into pin-drop silence and n.o.body dared to breathe. Their gazes landed on Gao Yanchen and eventually fell on Xue Xi, who was sitting there quietly.

The girl sat there obediently and looked up at Gao Yanchen for two seconds before replying, “Oh.”

Gao Yanchen lifted his chin slightly and stared at Flame Number One. The latter immediately asked, “Sister Xi, we’ve finished the sixth period. Are there any arrangements next? Where are we going to play?”

Xue Xi had already packed her books as she stood up. She headed outside before replying casually, “…Math Olympiad cla.s.s.”

Gao Yanchen: “??”

Flame Number One: “??”

Our Roaring Flame Society’s girl boss is going to partic.i.p.ate in the Math Olympiad compet.i.tion?

The group of Flames moved aside, and when Xue Xi pa.s.sed by them, they followed behind her orderly. Gao Yanchen asked casually, “Cla.s.s is so boring. Can you understand Math Olympiad cla.s.ses?”

“…Manageable.”

Gao Yanchen thought he understood what she meant in a matter of seconds and continued to lift his chin. “Manageable means unmanageable. Then why are you attending the Math Olympiad cla.s.s?”

“…To do a.s.signments.”

“…” Gao Yanchen felt that the Roaring Flame Society had welcomed someone of another kind. Feeling indignant, he continued to ask, “What about after completing your a.s.signments?”

She looked at him in confusion. “By the time I finish the a.s.signments, it’s time to sleep. Could it be that you still have time?”

Every day, when she was doing her a.s.signments, she felt that time was insufficient. She wished to break one second into two seconds and use them!

“…” Gao Yanchen was in a trance. He had never done any a.s.signments!

Xue Xi continued walking, and all of a sudden, she seemed to have thought of something. She paused and turned around.

Gao Yanchen was in a daze and did not notice so he accidentally b.u.mped into Xue Xi. By the time he could steady himself, he was inches away from her and could see the fine hairs on the girl’s perfect face.

He blushed instantly.

Sensing the heat rising to his face, he quickly lifted his head, and when he was about to say something, she spoke slowly. “Is your surname ‘Gao’?”

Gao Yanchen paused. “Ah… Correct!”

Xue Xi’s eyes went blank momentarily and it dawned upon her. “It turns out to be you!”

“Huh?”

Xue Xi retracted her gaze and continued walking forward. “They all said that I offended you.”

“Who the heck…?”

Swallowing his words, Gao Yanchen could not bear to speak profanities in front of her. He paused and explained, “You defeated me and I’ll listen to you. There’s no such thing as being offended.”

As they spoke, they arrived at a lecture theater. Xue Xi nodded at him. “I’m going to cla.s.s.”

Carrying her books, she walked to the staircase.

As he looked at her thin silhouette entering the dilapidated academic building, his heart seemed to be suspended in the air and had no place to land for some unknown reasons.

He felt vexed somehow.

Seeing him standing in a daze, Flame Number One asked, “Brother Chen, are we going to play basketball?”

“Play your sister!” Gao Yanchen scolded irritably and kicked the ground. “I’m in no mood today, go home.”

When Xue Xi went upstairs, she b.u.mped into her physics teacher, who was also the training instructor for the physics compet.i.tion cla.s.s.
