Li Zixia stood rooted to the ground.
She released her grip and the phone fell to the ground. Liu Zhao’s heart ached when she saw this.
However, Li Zixia did not care about the phone at all. Instead, she pounced on Xie Yingying’s bed.
Xie Yingying was sleeping on the top bunk when she turned around and saw Li Zixia’s head on the pillow. She was shocked and sat up immediately. She hugged the blanket and leaned against the wall behind her. “What are you doing?”
She scared her to death!
Li Zixia’s eyes were shining like that of a wolf that had seen food. She stared at Xie Yingying. “Xue Xi really scored full marks in the college entrance examination? My God, this is too unbelievable. Didn’t she participate in the IMO?”
Seeing her ignorant look, Xie Yingying lifted her chin slightly and said with a sense of superiority, “That’s right. Not only did she participate in the IMO, but she also shocked the entire country. Let me tell you, the Chemistry and Math Departments in Scanford University are fighting to get her, but Sister Xi just won’t go…”
Li Zixia’s eyes lit up. “Hurry up and tell me about the history of this genius!”
Xie Yingying raised her head slightly. “We’ll have to start from around this year’s examination. Let’s start with her family being in the business class. Sister Xi’s boyfriend is rich…”
In the dormitory, Xie Yingying had started to tell the story of the Goddess of Studying.
Outside, from the moment Xue Xi entered the car, she’d been hearing Ye Li complaining non-stop. “I just wanted to get out of the car to fetch you, Xixi, but your father didn’t even let me. He even said that he was afraid that I would get tanned. Your father is really making a fuss out of nothing! There’s not much sunlight left now, so what was that about him just worrying about me? It must have something to do about a parent’s possessiveness, right?”
Xue Sheng smiled and did not retort. Instead, he reached out to rub Xue Xi’s hair again. “Hey, it’s been so many years and I haven’t attended a parent-teacher meeting yet, right? So when we come here to fetch our daughter, let me be the one to get out of the car to fetch her. Xixi, how did Dad perform just now?”
Ever since they’d left the Xue family, Xue Sheng and Ye Li had become more lively, as though they had released their natural instincts.
Xue Xi silently looked at him and did not speak.
Xue Sheng could not help but sigh. “Yesterday, I said that I would send you to school, but you refused. Today, I’ve finally gotten a kick out of being a parent!”
After saying this, he said, “Dad booked a Sichuan Cuisine restaurant beside your school. After we’re done eating, I’ll send you back. By the way, how’s the school?”
While Xue Xi and Xue Sheng were chatting, they saw Ye Li laughing at the side.
Both of them turned their heads.
It was only after ten seconds of silence in the car that Ye Li realized that something was amiss. She lifted her gaze from her phone and WeChat to look at the two of them and asked in confusion, “What’s wrong?”
Xue Xi: “…”
Xue Sheng: “… What are you laughing at?”
“Oh,” Ye Li replied. She then raised her phone and said, “I’m chatting with Ah Jing!”
Xue Sheng’s face darkened when he heard this form of address. He immediately complained to Xue Xi, “Xixi, you should speak to your mother when you’re free. She used to follow you around every day when you were at home, but I tolerated it even though she neglected me. However, after you left yesterday, she never let go of her phone and kept chatting. She even ignored me when I spoke to her! That’s too much! If I didn’t know who this Lin Jing was, I would have suspected that your mother had a gigolo!”
When Lin Jing was mentioned previously, everyone had found it unbelievable. Why would such a big shot rush to chat with them? However, after they got used to it, Xue Sheng had started to dislike it.
How did they have so much to talk about?
Ye Li was glued to her phone and chatted non-stop, causing Xue Sheng to ask a certain someone about Lin Jing and her husband’s relationship.
If he had not heard that the couple was getting along well, he would have been suspicious of Lin Jing’s sexual orientation!
Tell me, what’s wrong with this Xiang person? Is he so busy that he can’t even accompany his wife?!
Xue Sheng had a lot of criticisms, but Xue Xi and Ye Li did not know. At this moment, Ye Li was smiling as she told Xue Xi, “Damn, we were just talking about her child. Ah Jing told me that her naughty son gave her a headache when he was young and would go against her every day. She even said that she could tell ever since he was young that he was an ingrate. She’s always wanted to have a daughter, so she often hugged her son and kissed him. In the end, when his son was five years old, he told her not to be so clingy. If she wanted to kiss, she should kiss her husband. He’s already grown up! Ah Jing replied that he’d still be her son even when he’s grown up enough that he can go on blind dates! Guess what her son said in the end?”
Xue Sheng: “… How would I know?”
Ye Li: “Her son said, then why don’t I see Dad and Grandma hugging and kissing? Hahahaha, from the sound of it, her son is really a little devil. He’s too cute!”
After saying that, Ye Li sighed and sent a message to Lin Jing: “It’s a pity that my daughter got lost when she was young. I’ve never enjoyed such happiness.”
Lin Jing replied very quickly: “F*ck, why do you want to enjoy this? You don’t even know how many times I’ve been called to a parent-teacher meeting at school! My head hurts!”
Ye Li was not comforted. Instead, she looked up at Xue Xi and made a rude request. “Xixi, when can you do something wrong and make the school call your parents? Sigh! I’ve never enjoyed such treatment!”
Xue Xi: “…”
She had never heard such an unreasonable request before!
Ye Li sighed. “Actually, when you were in your third year of high school, I’d always been thinking that your form teacher, Old Liu, was too unreliable. You’re already dating, so why didn’t he call your parents? I was already prepared to say something after being called to a meeting!”
Xue Xi: “…”
They did not expect that this unreasonable request would be realized so quickly.
After the three of them ate the Sichuan food, Xue Sheng and Ye Li sent Xue Xi back to the school. At the entrance, Xue Sheng still did not let Ye Li get out of the car and personally sent Xue Xi in. Before entering, he even reminded her, “Xixi, study less and date more!”
The guard who heard this: “?”
He glanced at Xue Xi’s hair and then at this parent. He felt that something was amiss.
He might have misunderstood.
After all, when most parents sent their students to school, they would repeatedly remind them, “When you go to university, don’t just focus on dating. Remember to study hard!”
Why was this family different from others?
Xue Xi lugged a large bucket of sunblock and walked toward the dormitory. On the way, she felt the surrounding students pointing at her.
She seemed to have heard someone say, “Ah, she’s the freshman who’s got a rich man to rely on? She’s quite good-looking, but it’s a pity!”
“Sigh, the matter has blown up so much. They will definitely call her parents tomorrow!”
