Xue Xi’s eyes widened. Why was Little Square looking for her?
Could it be that she was discovered when she hacked into the special department’s system last time? But it had been so long, so how could she have been discovered?
Moreover, which X?
She definitely could not ask this. If she did, it would mean that she knew and would expose herself.
Xue Xi had always been intelligent, so she asked, “Why are you looking for them?”
Could it be that even though she did not find anything, just for the mere fact she hacked into the system, he wanted to capture her and bring her back for trial?
Little Pigeon: “He seems to want some programming done. I don’t know the details, but I’m not in charge of it. I’m just helping him pass the message.”
After saying that, he said smugly, “He actually wants to ask me for your phone number. Ha, can I give it to him? How can I give him the chance to bully Sister Xi? Don’t worry, he definitely won’t be able to find you!”
Xue Xi: “…Oh, then I’ll try my best.”
After hanging up, Xue Xi saw an additional friend request on WeChat. When she opened it, the other party’s name was: Zheng Zhi.
Xue Xi: “…”
What happened to not leaking information?
Little Pigeon was too unreliable!
Xue Xi ignored the friend request and threw her phone aside. She was not from the court, so why should Zheng Zhi add her?
Moreover, that inflexible person had such a huge opinion of her. If she were to add him, wouldn’t she be asking for a scolding?
She did not take it to heart though.
Xue Xi stretched and was just about to get out of bed when a knock came from the door. Ye Li pushed open the door and looked at her. “I heard some movements in your room. I thought you must be awake and should have dinner!”
She held a ball of wool in her hand and was currently knitting a sweater.
Xue Xi took a look and was very curious. “Is this easy to knit?”
Ye Li said, “It’s alright. It’s quite simple. If you want to learn, I’ll teach you.”
Xue Xi: “…How long does it take to knit one?”
Ye Li explained, “If you’re a skilled worker, you can knit a sweater in a few days. However, you don’t have to knit a sweater. You can just knit a scarf. This will be done in two days.”
Two days…
She could read a few books in that time.
Xue Xi rejected the idea. “No need. It’s a waste of time.”
Ye Li: “…”
She thought that her daughter had finally grown a conscience and wanted to give Xiao Xiang a present. She did not expect things to still be the same. Sigh!
Xue Xi washed up and left her room. As she had slept for a day, she did not have much of an appetite, so Ye Li had prepared a small wonton for her for dinner. It was refreshing and delicious, and it was easy to digest.
While Xue Xi was eating, Ye Li and Xue Sheng, who had just returned from work, were sitting opposite her. One of them was holding a woolen sweater while the other was holding a phone, but both were looking at her in unison.
After finishing the last wonton, Xue Xi felt full. She then took out a tissue to wipe her mouth and said, “What are you guys looking at?”
Ye Li: “I’m thinking about what you did last night. It’s obvious that you didn’t sleep last night!”
Xue Xi was just about to answer, but her slow personality made Xue Sheng anxious. “Say, did Xiao Xiang trick you last night? Did he do something to you?”
He rolled up his sleeves and looked as though he was about to go out to fight…
This morning, when Xue Xi returned and said that she was sleepy, he did not mind. However, when he returned home in the afternoon and Xue Xi was still sleeping, Xue Sheng realized that something was amiss.
The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became.
His daughter was only 19 years old, yet Xiao Xiang decided not to be a decent human?
Ye Li hurriedly pressed his arm. “Listen to your daughter first. You’re usually quite mature in everything you do. Why are you so rash when it comes to your daughter?”
Xue Sheng: “…Aren’t you anxious?”
Ye Li paused and immediately turned to look at Xue Xi. “Xixi, were you really with Xiao Xiang?”
“No.”
Xue Xi threw the tissue paper into the bin. “I was with Little Pigeon.”
She stood up and walked toward the living room.
Ye Li chased after her. “Who is this Pigeon? Is it a man or a woman?”
“Man,” Xue Xi casually replied.
She then sat on the sofa, looking at her maternal grandmother, Song Wenman, and maternal grandfather, Ye Lai, who were watching television.
Both of them were very quiet as they stared at the television.
It had been a year, but Song Wenman was still the same. She only had a few more strands of white hair.
Ye Lai, on the other hand, was in the midst of treatment. His spirits were clearly much better and he was very quiet. He did not even blink as he watched the television, as though he was attracted to it.
Xue Xi stared at him.
Her maternal grandfather used to be in the Moguls’ Group, but he was later kicked out. That Moguls’ Group was made up of elites from all walks of life, but Omnipotent Boss dominated it.
Could it be that everyone in the Moguls’ Group was an esper?
Esper…
She chewed on the thought repeatedly.
Previously, when she was busy with the club’s matters, she’d quickly accepted the existence of espers. But now, she had returned to a familiar environment with her family. She looked at her mother, who was knitting a sweater, and at her father, who was following her nervously.
Such an ordinary life still made her feel frightened.
It seemed that after her encounter with espers, she had accidentally entered another world.
She shook her head and decided not to think further.
Since she was already here, she might as well take it easy.
After thinking it through, she turned around and saw Ye Li staring at her with a different expression. She was a little cautious and wanted to speak, but she hesitated. In the end, she said, “Xixi, you… you’re two-timing?”
Xue Xi paused and said, “Mom, Little Pigeon is a member of… the club.”
The special department was also an organization.
She could not tell others about the espers, lest her parents got involved. Hence, she could only spout nonsense.
Ye Li heaved a sigh of relief. “You scared me to death. I thought you did something to let Xiao Xiang down.”
Xue Xi: “…”
After sleeping for a day, Xue Xi became energetic at night and decided to study.
She realized that she did not know enough about this world.
Just as she was reading, her phone rang. It was Xiang Huai’s video call.
Xue Xi hesitated for a moment. She first looked up at a small mirror in front of the desk and realized that she was not unkempt. Only then did she answer the call.
The screen instantly displayed Xiang Huai’s enlarged face. Even on the screen, his features were still well-defined. His nose bridge was high and his eyes were narrow and sharp. Under the Lemon brand’s famous death camera, this person’s features were actually well-defined. He was very handsome.
Xue Xi stared at his face and paused before saying, “What’s the matter?”
“Nothing.” The man’s voice was low. “Just wanted to accompany you.”
Xiang Huai brought the phone camera forward and she could see that his hair was still dripping. Clearly, he had just showered. Xue Xi stared at his exposed shoulders and chest for a while before retracting her gaze. “Oh, I’m reading.”
Xiang Huai chuckled. “It’s fine. I’ll read with you.”
“Hm,” Xue Xi replied. She placed her phone in front of her and picked up her book to read.
She looked at two lines and could not help but look up. On the phone screen, the man was wrapped in a towel and walking around as though he was looking for something.
Xue Xi: “…”
She lowered her head and continued reading.
In the past, when she chatted with her classmates, they actually said they could not understand the lessons. The books clearly detailed every knowledge point. Why did her classmates not understand it?
One classmate said that she could not concentrate on reading and would think of other things while doing it. She could thus not understand the contents of the book.
Xue Xi was still very confused. How could anyone not concentrate on reading?
However, at this moment, she suddenly understood.
She read two lines, but she only saw one word, then she forgot it. Xiang Huai’s face kept appearing in front of her eyes, and when he walked around in a towel, his shoulders and upper body were exposed…
Xue Xi suddenly slammed the book on the table in anger and looked at the video. “Can you put on your clothes?”
Xiang Huai stopped and slowly approached the camera.
As he approached, she saw it even more clearly.
His firm chest muscles were not as muscular as those of Westerners, but they were full of strength and were hidden under his skin.
What a good figure.
Just as she was thinking this, the man smiled. “I live alone. What’s wrong with not wearing anything?”
Xue Xi: “…But… but you’re video calling me.”
Xiang Huai lowered his head and took a glance. When he realized that the towel was wrapped around him, he smiled again. “You’ve already touched it, so why are you afraid of looking?”
Xue Xi: “!!!!”
Her face turned red instantly. For some unknown reason, she recalled their intimate actions in the backseat of his Land Rover…
She coughed and said, “Anyway, don’t video call if you’re not wearing clothes.”
Xiang Huai smiled. “Sure, I’ll put on clothes.”
As he said this, he walked to the bed, picked up his t-shirt, and put it on. Then, he lifted the towel…
Xue Xi: “!!”
She covered her eyes and exclaimed, “The camera is on!”
“I know.” The man was still smiling. “What are you afraid of? You’ll see this sooner or later.”
Xue Xi: “…”
Can’t this person speak without any innuendos?
However, when she looked up, she saw Xiang Huai wearing shorts underneath the towel. His exposed legs were long and firm…
She hurriedly looked away and picked up the book again to read it.
She did not see the man’s smug smile behind the camera.
You think I’m old? Then let me show you. A 25-year-old body is the most attractive!
That night, Xue Xi dreamed again.
She dreamed that Xiang Huai had suddenly walked over and said, “Little kid, do you want to take off my clothes for me?”
Even when she woke up the next day, Xue Xi’s face was still red.
After resting at home for two days, Xue Xi was sent to school by Uncle Li on Monday morning.
She returned to the dormitory and put down her luggage before heading to the classroom with Xie Yingying. On the way, Xie Yingying lowered her head to play with her phone and gossiped with Xue Xi. “Sister Xi, do you know? Something big happened at the computer department!”
Xue Xi paused. “What?”
Xie Yingying said, “All of them are looking for a hacker. They even came to our yard. I heard that this person is super amazing! I really want to meet him. He must be a dashing and handsome boy!”
Xue Xi: “?”
She coughed. “That… you’ve already met them.”
