The classroom paused.

Mr. Li was also stunned. He frowned and stared at Xiang Huai, then at the student who had stood up. What was going on?

Just as he was feeling perplexed, Xiang Huai slowly stood up. “Teacher, are you calling me?”

Li Zixuan, who was standing in the back row, looked at Xiang Huai in confusion. Just as he was about to say something, Li Xuekai suddenly reached out and grabbed his arm to make him sit down. “You heard wrongly!”

Li Zixuan: “?”

Li Zixuan’s deskmate: “?”

They clearly heard Mr. Li shouting for Li Zixuan!

How could he have heard wrongly?!

However, Li Zixuan did not think much of it and said, “So we have another Li Zixuan?”

Li Xuekai was just about to think of a way to hide what was happening.

Li Zixuan said, “Damn, don’t look at me. I’m already used to it. There are too many people who have this name!”

Li Xuekai: “…”

So this is why Xue Xi’s boyfriend lied to Mr. Li that he is Li Zixuan?

The corners of his lips twitched as he continued, “This Li Zixuan offended Mr. Li this afternoon. Don’t stand up randomly later.”

Li Zixuan instantly nodded. “Alright, Brainiac, thanks. You’re such a good person.”

Li Xuekai: “…”

In front.

When Mr. Li heard Li Xuekai say “you heard wrongly,” he thought that he was just in a daze and did not mind. He said, “Aren’t you very capable? Come, do this question.”

Mr. Li directly copied a question to the blackboard and said, “You guys do this question. If you can solve it, I won’t worry about you guys anymore!

“But if you can’t do it, it means that you haven’t learned enough. Your knowledge reserves are too low, so you have to be obedient and not create trouble in the camp!”

After saying that, he pointed at Xiang Huai. “Come up and do it.”

Xue Xi: “??”

While Mr. Li was copying the questions, Xue Xi had already scanned through them. However, when she finished copying the questions, she found she actually did not have any idea about how to solve it.

This was the charm of the Mathematical Olympiad. One could always learn many new things.

However, at this moment, Xue Xi was a little anxious.

Before Xiang Huai had to go on stage, what if she could not give him an answer?

She quickly took out a piece of rough paper and started calculating. However, the time was too short. Although she could understand the questions, Xue Xi still felt that she had no idea how to solve it.

Mr. Li said to Xiang Huai, “What are you waiting for? Come up!”

Xiang Huai: “…”

He could only walk up slowly.

Xue Xi was writing furiously while Li Xuekai was calculating as well. Instantly, a tense atmosphere appeared in the classroom. Mr. Li walked downstairs and said as he walked, “Whoever finishes the questions raises their hands! This can be considered as an extra examination. It’ll be counted in your usual performance.”

The moment he said this, the already nervous classroom became even more nervous.

Mr. Li walked around and saw that these people were busy solving the questions. He walked out, planning to return to his office to get a glass of water.

In the office.

After Mr. Li entered, he opened his drawer and saw Xue Xi’s phone.

Mr. Wei: “Mr. Li, you still aren’t resigned to students bringing their phones? All the others must have brought theirs too. Can you confiscate them all?”

Mr. Li sneered. “I don’t care if I don’t see them use it. Of course, if I did see them, I’ll have to confiscate them.”

Mr. Wei had been holding it in but could not help but say, “Mr. Li, that’s enough. Xue Xi is not just a powerless student. Something will happen sooner or later.”

Mr. Li continued to be stubborn. “What can happen? I’ll manage the students according to the rules. Even if she reports it to the Education Bureau, my actions are not out of bounds!”

However, Mr. Wei pointed out what it was really about. “Sigh. You don’t have to bear grudges. I know that you’re also trying to figure out Bartra’s theory. You’ve been doing it for a few years, so you hate Xue Xi for being able to come up with the solution before you did and causing you to lose your chance.”

Mr. Li flew into a rage after being exposed. He stood up instantly. “What nonsense are you spouting? I didn’t!”

With that, he walked out with the glass.

After he left the office, his face darkened.

He had been studying Bartra’s theory for five years and could never figure it out in all that time. This year, he’d finally had a new idea. He was just about to follow this plan, and he did not expect Xue Xi to appear out of nowhere.

He went to look at Xue Xi’s deduction method. It was the method he had thought of this year!

If it were not for Xue Xi, he would definitely have been able to complete it in another half a year. By then, the person who would have shocked the mathematics world would not have been the third-year student but him!

That was why he was so angry and was targeting her.

It was Xue Xi who had blocked his path.

At this thought, Mr. Li became even angrier but entered the classroom with a straight face.

Xue Xi was still quickly calculating this question. Up until now, no one in the class could solve it.

Mr. Li was very satisfied with this situation.

He slowly walked in and stood beside Xue Xi. “Xue Xi, aren’t you a studying goddess? But you can’t even solve such a question? Aren’t you just seeking a shadow? This is a question in the outline!”

Xue Xi: “…”

Mr. Li sneered. “If you can’t even solve such a basic question, how were you able to solve Bartra’s theory? Don’t tell me you actually stole other people’s achievements?”

As soon as Mr. Li said this, Li Xi piped up to agree. “That’s right. How can a third-year student come up with something so profound? Who knows whom she used? Didn’t she get accepted by Huaxia University? She must have been really unscrupulous for her to get admitted!”

The pen in Xue Xi’s hand gradually stopped and she frowned.

She had always automatically blocked those bad words and was not affected at all.

On the other hand, Xiang Huai, who was standing on the podium, had one hand in his pocket as he stared at the blackboard quietly.

These words entered his ears and he frowned even more.

At noon today, he’d realized that Mr. Li was targeting Xue Xi. He had thought that it was just his imagination, but now…

He lowered his eyes to hide the coldness in them.

At noon, he had tolerated Mr. Li because he did not want to blow things up and wanted to stay to accompany the little kid.

After all, it was quite fun to go to class with her.

But now…

Just as he thought this, Mr. Li said, “And you, Li Zixuan. Before you help others, you first have to see if you have the capability to do it. If you can’t even solve a single question, what good are you?”

This was too much.

Xue Xi had always ignored those who scolded her, but now that this person was scolding Xiang Huai, she could not tolerate it anymore.

She put down her pen and slowly looked up.
