Xue Xi walked among the crowd and was looking at the eight people standing outside.

Just as she was about to leave the examination hall, she suddenly heard a voice. She paused and looked over, only to see Professor Thor, who was praised by Xie Yingying, looking at her.

Xue Xi paused.

Did this person have something to say to her?

She walked over and suspected that she had heard wrongly, so she stood in front of Thor and did not speak for a while.

Thor was relieved. Finally, he had spoken to the Goddess of Wisdom!

He extended his hand and introduced himself. “Hello, I’m Professor Thor. I’m currently working in Scanford…”

Before he could finish speaking, the girl in front of him was suddenly stunned.

She stared fixedly in a certain direction as though she had encountered something particularly shocking. Immediately, the girl walked past him and ran out!

Thor: “?”

Thor: “!!”

… Alright, he had indeed only “spoken” to the goddess.

Thor sighed. At this moment, the rest of the Chinese examination candidates gathered again.

Liang Gan had also finished her work and squeezed over. She was a little far away and did not hear what Thor and Xue Xi had said, but Xue Xi was clearly rude to Professor Thor.

She hurriedly said, “Professor, the student that just left is a little aloof. Please don’t fault her for her impoliteness.”

Thor thought: Shouldn’t a Goddess of Wisdom be a little arrogant? It’s only right for her to be a little rude!

He nodded. “Mhm, alright.”

Liang Gan smiled again. “Professor, I’m going to bring the children back to the hotel. May I ask where you’re going?”

After yesterday’s examination, the professor had left. She originally thought that the professor would leave again today, and she did not expect the professor to actually think about it. “I’ll go to the hotel with you guys.”

After the goddess’s examination yesterday, he’d had to go back. Anyway, he had nothing to do today and did not want to wait another minute. He had to discuss chemistry with the goddess today!

…

Xue Xi, who had been labeled as “rude,” had already squeezed out of the crowd and was looking around.

Just now… when she was talking to Professor Thor, for some unknown reason, she looked at the crowd and suddenly saw that handsome face.

There was arrogance and uninhibitedness in his eyes. It was him! Little Flame!

However, when she chased after him, she realized that he had disappeared. She was still surrounded by unfamiliar streets, European-style buildings, and unfamiliar Western faces.

She stood there in a daze.

Qin Shuang and Huazi had already brought the rest over. Qin Shuang asked, “What’s wrong?”

Xue Xi retracted her gaze and said in a low voice, “Nothing.”

It was indeed nothing.

She must have seen wrongly.

Because in that blink of an eye, she’d seen a head of black hair.

Little Flame was so obsessed with red hair, so how could he possibly dye it black?

Hence, she must have seen wrongly.

Qin Shuang said, “Sister Xi, you’re finally done with the exams today. We can go play together! I made a schedule. Take a look.”

Xue Xi took a look and realized that there were many famous sceneries listed. She fell silent. “…”

Actually, she really wanted to ask if she could go to the major bookstores to take a look.

After all, there were some books that could not be bought in the country.

However, seeing how eager Qin Shuang and Flame Number One were, Xue Xi thought about it and sighed. Forget it, I’ll just treat it as playing with them.

…

…

Xue Xi and the rest went to have fun, making Thor wait in the hotel.

Lunch time turned to night time. It was already 8 PM in Country M and she had not returned yet. Thor sat on the sofa with a straight face and stared at the entrance helplessly.

The person who was more confused than him was Liang Gan.

After having lunch with Thor at noon, she had been waiting here with him. She asked him who he was waiting for, but he did not say anything.

The rest of the members of the Mathematical Olympiad simply stayed near him. Firstly, they wanted to get close to Thor and get familiar with him, and secondly, they could take the chance to ask him questions.

However, she pitied Xie Yingying.

She had always wanted to come over and greet Thor, but Liang Gan told her clearly, “Go upstairs and rest first. You’re a girl, so you don’t have to work so hard.”

Xie Yingying knew that Liang Gan was still hating on her, but she had no other choice. She wanted to speak to Thor. Although he was smiling, he was actually not easy to get close to.

She could only helplessly go upstairs.

In the room, she could not help but think of Xue Xi. Looking at her and the red-haired girl shoulder-to-shoulder, it was really… enviable!

There were only two girls who came to participate in the competition. How could Xue Xi throw her away to play alone? She too would not play with Xue Xi!

Unless…

Xie Yingying sent Xue Xi a message on WeChat: “Help me bring a seafood slice when you come back.”

Xue Xi replied half an hour later: “Okay.”

Only then did Xie Yingying lie on the bed. Alright, since you took the initiative to bring me dinner, I’ll forgive you generously!

9 PM.

“Professor, are you really not hungry?” Liang Gan asked again.

“No.” As soon as Professor Thor said this, his stomach growled.

Everyone: “…”

Li Xuekai and the other four boys stood up. “I’ll go buy some food for you guys!”

Thor: “… Okay.”

When the four boys left and only Liang Gan and Thor were left, Liang Gan glanced at Thor and suddenly said, “Professor, actually, I’ve been wanting to take the PhD under your name. You see…”

She felt that the reason why Thor had been following China for two days was definitely because of her teacher. She had indeed mentioned to her teacher that she wanted to continue with her studies.

If Thor could agree to take her as his PhD student and even let her participate in the research and development project under him, then this matter would be perfect!

Unexpectedly, as soon as she said this, Thor immediately smiled. “That won’t do. I’m old and won’t accept students! You can continue to study with Jennifer.”

However, Jennifer only had a doctorate!

Unlike you, you’re not only a postdoc, but you’ve also received many awards and are the first in Chemistry!

The corners of Liang Gan’s lips twitched.

Just as she was about to say something, she saw Thor suddenly stand up and look outside the door excitedly.

When he saw the few red-haired girls entering the hotel, Thor felt that he was about to cry! His goddess was finally back!

Thinking about how the goddess had ignored him at noon and how if he did not dye his red hair, the goddess might not even listen to him, Thor decided to cut to the chase. “Hi, Xue Xi. Are you interested in the Chemistry Department of Scanford University? I can make you my student!”

Everyone: “?”

“… “
