Xiang Huai, who was having his last bite: “?”
After steadily finishing his meal, he slowly looked up and said, “Oh. My phone is out of battery.”
After saying that, he even raised his phone. Because he was afraid that he would be disturbed after returning to the capital, when he entered the school to act as a student, he’d turned it off and now waved it in front of her.
Xue Xi did not have any doubts. She merely frowned and nodded. “Alright.”
Forget it. I’ll go look for Mr. Wei later and get my phone back.
There was a rule in the camp that students were not allowed to bring their phones to class. However, it should be fine for her to call home to inform them that she was fine after class, right?
Xiang Huai was not anxious at all. There were some matters that he would settle personally when he returned home tonight!

The little kid wants someone else to teach her mathematics? Is there a need?
After dinner, they returned to the classroom to study at night.
Xue Xi went to the teacher’s office. There was only Mr. Wei inside. When he saw her, Mr. Wei heaved a sigh of relief. “Xue Xi, are you here to apologize to Mr. Li? He went back first…”
Before he could finish speaking, Xue Xi shook her head. “No, I’m here to take my phone.”
Mr. Wei: “…”
Mr. Wei was stunned. “What?”
After Xue Xi explained what had happened in the afternoon, Mr. Wei was a little speechless. “Are you saying that Mr. Li confiscated your phone during lunch?”
Xue Xi nodded.
Mr. Wei felt a little speechless.
Although the rules said that students were not allowed to bring their phones when they were in class, it was impossible for the camp to not let the students contact their families. Moreover, this was the Golden Autumn Camp, not the summer camp.
Right now, those rules were just short of being abolished. After all, what era was this? How could students not bring their phones?
He stood up. “I’ll help you look for it.”
He went directly to Mr. Li’s desk and was about to open his drawer when he realized that it was locked.
Mr. Wei: “…”
He took a deep breath, picked up a hammer beside him, and smashed the lock. He then opened the drawer and passed Xue Xi’s phone to her. “Hurry and contact your house.”
He really could not stand Mr. Li’s actions.
However, Mr. Wei was an adult and had to take care of his family. It was impossible for him to go against Mr. Li and risk his own occupation. The only thing he could do was to speak up for Xue Xi in front of the in-charge and help her get her phone.
Xue Xi looked deeply at Mr. Wei and bowed to him. She took the phone and said, “Thank you.”
Mr. Wei waved his hand. “Damn, I actually feel quite guilty that I did not help much. Alright, go!”
Xue Xi nodded.
After Xue Xi left, Mr. Wei sighed.
There was no choice. In the Mathematical Olympiad team, Mr. Li was considered a sub-leader. Mr. Wei had to listen to Mr. Li’s words and really could not do anything else.
Xue Xi took her phone out and left a message to Teaches Math. She recounted the events and finally said, “I wonder if you can help me in any way?”

Teaches Math replied very quickly: “Sister Xi, even if you didn’t look for me, I would have already heard of this matter. They actually said that you’re immoral. Ha, what a joke! Don’t worry, I’ll definitely take care of this! Study in peace!”
Learning: “Thank you.”
After replying, Xue Xi returned to the classroom. When she put down her phone, she saw Li Xi roll her eyes at her.
Xue Xi ignored her gaze and was just about to sit down when Li Xuekai walked over. “Don’t worry. I’ve already asked my family to come forward. Even if they can’t do anything, I’ll always stand by your side. I don’t believe that the camp will kick out both of us!”
Both of them were the main contenders for the gold medal in the International Mathematical Olympiad this year. The Mathematical Olympiad would not dare to kick out one, let alone both of them at the same time!
Xue Xi blinked and said slowly, “No need to trouble yourself. I can handle it.”
Li Xuekai: “…”
As the bell rang, Li Xuekai returned to his seat.
Everyone was still flustered by this evening’s self-study.
Whenever Xue Xi was studying, she would enter a trance-like state. Moreover, after she’d joined the Golden Autumn Camp, she had been sent many Math Olympiad questions that could not be bought outside.
Hence, even though Xiang Huai was beside her, she did not waste a single glance on him.
Xiang Huai was not bored either. With one hand on his cheek, he stared at Xue Xi affectionately the entire time.
After the evening self-study ended, everyone stood up and returned to their dormitory.
It was only nine at night. Following everyone’s habits, they would continue studying until midnight before going to sleep.
After Xue Xi and Xiang Huai left the classroom, she asked, “How are you getting out? No, how did you get in today?”
Xiang Huai smiled. “I climbed over the wall and entered through there.”
Xue Xi looked at the 2.5-meter-tall wall of the Golden Autumn Camp and then at Xiang Huai. She paused for a moment before saying, “Oh. Then I’ll send you off.”
Xiang Huai, who had intended to leave through the security office openly, was confused.
His expression froze before his lips twitched. “Okay.”
Then, the two of them walked to the wall. Under Xue Xi’s gaze, Xiang Huai did not retreat. He merely jumped and nimbly grabbed the wall. With a little force, he got up.
He sat on the wall and waved at Xue Xi. “Little kid, see you tomorrow.”
Xue Xi: “… Okay.”
Immediately, Xiang Huai jumped down.
The moment he landed, Xiang Huai’s expression turned cold. He turned on the phone and dialed a number…
Hearing that the other party was silent, Xue Xi turned around and walked toward the dormitory.
Just as she entered the dormitory, she suddenly heard a commotion.
Zhang Xiaoxiao seemed a little angry. “How can you guys do this?”
The other two dormitory mates hesitated and said, “Zhang Xiaoxiao, it’s not that we don’t support the Master, but we’re also afraid.”
One of them cried. “I’ve been studying only mathematics since I was young. My overall results are not good, so this is the only way I can go to university. If I’m also chased out of the Golden Autumn Camp, I’ll be finished! I’m sorry!”
As they spoke, they carried their school bag and blanket and walked out. The moment they stepped out, they saw Xue Xi and their faces turned red. “Master? Goddess?”
Xue Xi’s expression was calm. She nodded and entered the dormitory after walking past them.
The two of them heaved a sigh of relief and left.
However, Zhang Xiaoxiao was indignant. “Goddess, they were afraid of being implicated by you, so they went to another dormitory to stay tonight.”
Xue Xi: “…Oh.”
Zhang Xiaoxiao: “?”
She was stunned. “You’re not angry?”
Xue Xi replied, “Everyone has their own goals.”
After washing up, she lay on the bed. Outside, Li Xi walked past them and purposely said loudly, “I’m looking forward to tomorrow. I heard that the punishment for Xue Xi will come down then!”
