Chapter 320 - Being in the Same Room (2/2)

It was a pity that he could not see her.

After Xiang Huai put on his clothes and left, Xue Xi quickly took her pajamas and took a shower. After coming out comfortably, she calmed down and started reading.

After a while, Xiang Huai returned. The two of them had dinner and Xiang Huai did not hara.s.s her again.

At 11 PM, Xue Xi lay on the bed. “Sleep.”

Xiang Huai: “… Okay.”

Xue Xi closed her eyes. The lights in the room were off and it was very dark. She could vaguely hear Xiang Huai’s breathing. Xue Xi gradually relaxed and closed her eyes to sleep.

After she fell asleep, Xiang Huai turned to look at her.

Going to Country M to partic.i.p.ate in the IMO compet.i.tion would take a week. Initially, he should not have gone. After all, his ident.i.ty was sensitive and it would be troublesome to go overseas.

However, at this moment, as he looked at the girl’s sleeping face, he recalled the 118 days he’d been away from her. He recalled the three “nothing much” messages the girl had sent him. In the end, he picked up his phone and sent a message: “Book me a ticket to Country M’s L City.”

The other party quickly replied: “? General Xiang, are you sure you want to go overseas? If Country M finds out, it will be very troublesome.”

Xiang Huai: “Then don’t let them know.”

The other party: “…”

Xiang Huai: “After all, they know that I will indeed find trouble with them.”

The other party: “…”

The other party: “Okay.”

…

A good night’s sleep.

The next morning, Xue Xi packed her luggage and rushed to the airport with her pa.s.sport and Xiang Huai.

The teachers and students who were to go to Country M to accompany the examination had arrived early. Even Feng Xingshen had come. The other five students who were going to partic.i.p.ate in the compet.i.tion were all students who had partic.i.p.ated in the Golden Autumn Camp.

The national team had been chosen from the top 60 students in the CMO examination back then. After undergoing intense training and exams, six outstanding students had been chosen to partic.i.p.ate in the compet.i.tion.

Feng Xingshen had discussed with the Mathematics team and gave Xue Xi a spot without asking her to partic.i.p.ate in the training.

However, other than Li Xuekai, the other four were ones who’d worked hard to be in the top six.

One of the four students was a girl named Xie Yingying. At this moment, she was feeling indignant. “Everyone knows that the starting range of the IMO is different from that of the CMO. When everyone was undergoing training, everyone did their best to fight for a spot. Why can Xue Xi directly occupy one? Moreover, she didn’t even come to gather with us in advance and wanted us to wait for her!”

Li Xuekai frowned when he heard this. “We’re not waiting for Xue Xi, though. We’re waiting for the plane, right?”

When Xie Yingying heard this, her face turned red. “But we’re all here. Even the teacher is here. Even Professor Feng is here. Why is she so late?”

Li Xuekai mercilessly exposed her again. “Because we came from the city and were afraid of traffic, we came early. But from what I know, Xue Xi is rus.h.i.+ng over from the vicinity of the airport, so she doesn’t have to come so early.”

Xie Yingying: “…”

She turned around angrily and looked at the three boys beside her. “Li Xuekai is gonna sit in business cla.s.s. Who will sit with me later? I don’t want to sit with Xue Xi. I don’t even know her!”

The other three could not help but say, “But it’s not good for us to isolate Xue Xi. You’re a girl and will have to stay in the same dormitory as her overseas. You guys can sit together!”

Xie Yingying: “No way. Anyway, I want to sit with you guys!”

The accompanying teacher made a call and said, “Alright, everyone, let’s board the plane first. Xue Xi will go in when she comes.”

Xie Yingying sneered. “See that? They don’t need us to accompany her.”

After the group of people finished registering for their flight, they arrived at the boarding gate. A boy even persuaded Xie Yingying, “After registering, we saw Xue Xi. Change your seat. Otherwise, it will be very uncomfortable once you’re in a foreign country.”

Xie Yingying sneered. “No.”

Who asked Xue Xi to be independent? She had to endure loneliness! Would she herself not be sad when she boarded the plane? Hmph!
