Thor stared at Derry and frowned.

It was not that he was afraid that Derry would not agree, because as long as Nicholas knew the importance of this girl, he would definitely not reject her.

He was afraid that Derry would anger Xue Xi and make her not come over.

He could not help but sigh.

If this girl were anyone else, it would have been fine. They could still threaten her if they could not bribe her, but this girl was Xiang’s girlfriend.

Who the hell would dare to threaten her?!

Just as he was thinking impatiently about how to send Derry off, he heard him say, “A genius like her should go to the Math Department of Scanford! I’m willing to personally guide her!”

Thor: “?”

Thor was furious. “It’s a waste for a genius like her to study mathematics! Mathematics is just the foundation! She should learn chemistry!”

“She likes mathematics. Otherwise, why would she participate in the mathematics competition and not the chemistry competition?”

He had just used this sentence to stop Thor, and now he was using this sentence to snatch her.

Thor was really furious. Just as he was about to say something, Derry said, “Let’s snatch her based on our own abilities and see which one she likes.”

Thor thought for a moment and agreed.

As long as he could make the person stay, it would be fine even if she wanted to pursue another major!

Hence, the two elderly professors walked toward Xue Xi.

Liang Gan: “?”

Liang Gan felt that she must have heard wrongly.

Why would Professor Derry say that?

Yes, getting full marks for the IMO examination was indeed a rare occurrence. Back then, Xiang Huai had obtained full marks, and Scanford had indeed extended an olive branch to him. Xiang Huai had rejected it, so they had given her his spot.

She knew that the IMO was not that important. What was the big deal about a competition between high school students that did not involve higher education?

Back then, Professor Derry did not even say such words to Xiang Huai!

As someone who nearly scored full marks, Liang Gan had never received any special treatment in school. What right did she, Xue Xi, have?!

Why should the two deans argue over her?!

Liang Gan stood rooted to the ground and clenched her fists in envy. She watched as the two professors walked to Xue Xi and said something to her. The girl shook her head with a cold expression.

The two professors were anxious, but the award ceremony had already ended and everyone was preparing to leave.

Seeing that Xue Xi was about to leave, the professors were about to chase after her when Xiang Huai stopped them.

Xue Xi heaved a sigh of relief and walked out with Xie Yingying.

The girl walked to the back and waved her hand. The eight red-haired youths shouted and followed behind her.

Liang Gan stared at them.

She recalled that when Xue Xi was not mentioned among the first-prize winners, the eight red-haired ones were not anxious at all and even said that she would be the finale.

This kind of award ceremony had not happened again for twelve years. They actually trusted Xue Xi so much…

She then turned to look at Xue Xi. The girl’s red hair fluttered as she turned a corner and disappeared. Meanwhile, Xiang Huai, having stopped the two professors, chased after her.

He had always been cold. Twelve years ago, when he was only 13 years old, he had already put on an unapproachable expression. Now that he was mature and steady, he was even more so.

However, the way he chased after Xue Xi was so urgent…

Liang Gan bit her lip and finally realized that she had underestimated Xue Xi!

…

…

After Xiang Huai stopped the two professors, Xue Xi heaved a sigh of relief and followed the group out. However, just as she walked out of the venue’s entrance, she saw a man in a black tuxedo standing elegantly not far away. When he saw her leaving, he strode toward her.

Xue Xi stopped.

She looked around and thought in confusion, Who is he looking for? Could it be that this person knows Xie Yingying?

Just as she thought this, she heard Xie Yingying take a deep breath. “This person is so handsome! Ah ah ah ah, I feel that he is even more handsome than Xiao Gu!”

Who is Xiao Gu?

Just as this thought appeared in her mind, Qin Shuang, who was standing beside her, explained to her, “Xiao Gu is a Western male celebrity. He has influence in the world and has already won several Academy Awards. He is the first choice for a male lead in a Hollywood blockbuster. He is so handsome! The entire world is filled with his fans, but the person in front of us is even more handsome than him! Sister Xi, he is walking toward us. Is he here to look for you?”

Xue Xi shook her head seriously. “No, I don’t know him.”

Just as she said this, Nicholas arrived in front of Xue Xi. He nodded elegantly and said in Chinese, “Hello, Ms. Xue Xi.”

Qin Shuang: “?”

The corners of her lips twitched and her face became filled with disdain, indicating her distrust of Xue Xi.

Xue Xi: “…”

Xue Xi looked at him and asked in confusion, “You are?”

“Nicholas Huo. My Chinese name is Huo Xiu.” After saying this, Nicholas said, “May I take a few minutes of your time?”

Xue Xi nodded blankly.

Nicholas, who was also known as Huo Xiu, slowly spoke. His Chinese accent was a little strange, but this person’s voice was gorgeous and exuded a sense of nobility. It did not make one feel uncomfortable. “May I ask why you rejected Scanford’s invitation?”

Xue Xi suddenly understood.

So this person was here on behalf of Scanford University.

Before Xue Xi could speak, Huo Xiu continued, “You can listen to my conditions first. Scanford can provide you with the highest scholarship. We don’t need you to pay any fees and can even provide you with a living allowance of 800,000 USD every year. In addition, all the departments in Scanford will welcome you. Don’t you like studying the most? I believe that Scanford’s foundation will not be worse than Huaxia University’s. Moreover, we will allow you access to any information.”

Any information, including some high-quality research and development projects.

This was indeed very sincere.

Xie Yingying was stunned. She did not know why this young man in front of her had such great authority.

Although Huo Xiu looked noble, he was very humble. “I wonder if you can consider us?”

Xue Xi: “… ”

She could learn.

Thinking about their huge library, she realized that it did indeed have a deeper foundation in scientific research. However, she was only envious for a second before shaking her head and rejecting the offer. “No.”

Huo Xiu asked, “Why?”

He had already sent someone to ask around. This girl was obsessed with studying and so he could only use her studies to attract her. He had already given her enough temptations, but it still did not work?

Xue Xi sighed. “Because I can’t leave my boyfriend.”

If she left him, she would die!

She could not possibly take medicine every day while studying overseas, right?! During the four months that Xiang Huai was not in Bin City, she had been taking medicine all the time, making Ye Li think that she was sick.

The rest: “?”

Why did she make us have a mouthful of sweets for no reason? Burp, I’m so full!

Huo Xiu was stunned. He did not expect this to be the answer!

When Liang Gan walked out, he saw Nicholas standing in front of Xue Xi. She tensed up, and at this moment, the Chinese team’s accompanying teacher suddenly walked toward her and said, “Liang Gan, the Chinese Mathematical Olympiad has released a notice regarding the change in position. Did you see it?”

Liang Gan’s eyes lit up when she heard this.

The team she’d brought this time had obtained a gold medal. The Mathematical Olympiad must be here to reward her, right?

She asked excitedly, “What changes?”

This was to be the best news in recent times, but she did not see the teacher’s awkward expression…
