nXiang Huai, who was having his last bite: “?”

nAfter steadily finishing his meal, he slowly looked up and said, “Oh. My phone is out of battery.”

n

n

nAfter 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.

nXue Xi did not have any doubts. She merely frowned and nodded. “Alright.”

nForget it. I’ll go look for Mr. Wei later and get my phone back.

nThere 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?

n

n

nXiang Huai was not anxious at all. There were some matters that he would settle personally when he returned home tonight!

nThe little kid wants someone else to teach her mathematics? Is there a need?

n…

nAfter dinner, they returned to the classroom to study at night.

n

n

nXue 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…”

nBefore he could finish speaking, Xue Xi shook her head. “No, I’m here to take my phone.”

nMr. Wei: “…”

nMr. Wei was stunned. “What?”

nAfter 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?”

nXue Xi nodded.

n

n

nMr. Wei felt a little speechless.

nAlthough 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.

nRight now, those rules were just short of being abolished. After all, what era was this? How could students not bring their phones?

nHe stood up. “I’ll help you look for it.”

nHe went directly to Mr. Li’s desk and was about to open his drawer when he realized that it was locked.

nMr. Wei: “…”

nHe 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.”

nHe really could not stand Mr. Li’s actions.

n

n

nHowever, 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.

nXue Xi looked deeply at Mr. Wei and bowed to him. She took the phone and said, “Thank you.”

nMr. Wei waved his hand. “Damn, I actually feel quite guilty that I did not help much. Alright, go!”

nXue Xi nodded.

nAfter Xue Xi left, Mr. Wei sighed.

nThere 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.

nXue 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?”

nTeaches 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!”

nLearning: “Thank you.”

nAfter replying, Xue Xi returned to the classroom. When she put down her phone, she saw Li Xi roll her eyes at her.

nXue 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!”

nBoth 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!

nXue Xi blinked and said slowly, “No need to trouble yourself. I can handle it.”

n

n

nLi Xuekai: “…”

nAs the bell rang, Li Xuekai returned to his seat.

nEveryone was still flustered by this evening’s self-study.

nWhenever 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.

nHence, even though Xiang Huai was beside her, she did not waste a single glance on him.

nXiang Huai was not bored either. With one hand on his cheek, he stared at Xue Xi affectionately the entire time.

nAfter the evening self-study ended, everyone stood up and returned to their dormitory.

nIt was only nine at night. Following everyone’s habits, they would continue studying until midnight before going to sleep.

nAfter Xue Xi and Xiang Huai left the classroom, she asked, “How are you getting out? No, how did you get in today?”

nXiang Huai smiled. “I climbed over the wall and entered through there.”

nXue 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.”

nXiang Huai, who had intended to leave through the security office openly, was confused.

nHis expression froze before his lips twitched. “Okay.”

nThen, 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.

nHe sat on the wall and waved at Xue Xi. “Little kid, see you tomorrow.”

nXue Xi: “… Okay.”

nImmediately, Xiang Huai jumped down.

nThe moment he landed, Xiang Huai’s expression turned cold. He turned on the phone and dialed a number…

nHearing that the other party was silent, Xue Xi turned around and walked toward the dormitory.

nJust as she entered the dormitory, she suddenly heard a commotion.

nZhang Xiaoxiao seemed a little angry. “How can you guys do this?”

nThe other two dormitory mates hesitated and said, “Zhang Xiaoxiao, it’s not that we don’t support the Master, but we’re also afraid.”

nOne 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!”

nAs 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?”

nXue Xi’s expression was calm. She nodded and entered the dormitory after walking past them.

nThe two of them heaved a sigh of relief and left.

nHowever, Zhang Xiaoxiao was indignant. “Goddess, they were afraid of being implicated by you, so they went to another dormitory to stay tonight.”

nXue Xi: “…Oh.”

nZhang Xiaoxiao: “?”

nShe was stunned. “You’re not angry?”

nXue Xi replied, “Everyone has their own goals.”

nAfter 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!”
