Gu Yunqing had been the school belle for two years and had many fans in the school. Coincidentally, this person was Gu Yunqing’s fan.

Xue Xi looked up at him coldly.

Before she could speak, Li Zixia and Xie Yingying, who had already seen the commotion, ran over. Xie Yingying shouted, “Do you have any evidence that Sister Xi stole the votes? What right do you have to say that?”

That person sneered. “After all the posts criticizing her on the Internet were deleted, Gu Yunqing’s votes became fewer. Do you still need evidence? This is clearly her doing!”

Li Zixia also said angrily, “So you don’t have any evidence. Is this all your own guess? What’s the difference between you and those keyboard warriors on the Internet?”

That person raised his chin and straightened his neck. “Isn’t this evidence? She put so many clubs aside and only joined our reading club. Isn’t she just doing this for show? She’s trying to set herself up as a talented woman, right? Indeed, like mother, like daughter. Her mother is posing as an artist. As her daughter, she’s following suit!”

Xue Xi’s eyes instantly turned cold. Without thinking, she wanted to rush over to hit a person, but someone was faster than her.

He Gao appeared out of nowhere and grabbed the person’s collar. He then punched him in the face!

Bang!

That person was beaten until he took a few steps back. His nostrils were warm and something moist was left behind. He wiped it and realized that it was blood.

He Gao stood there with a cold expression. His tall figure was like a mountain, giving off an endless sense of oppression.

Under his short black hair, his eyes were sharp and his looks were comparable to that of a celebrity in the entertainment industry.

He slowly said, “If I hear you criticizing her again, it won’t just be a punch.”

That person’s eyes were shining and he could not speak.

The rest of the people in the Reading Club rushed over. “Who are you? How dare you hit him? Do you think we won’t go look for the teacher?!”

Before He Gao could speak, Xue Xi said coldly, “Are you going to ask a teacher to visit your club over how you don’t want to recruit students?”

The few people in the reading club were stunned.

Speaking of which, the source of this matter was indeed wrong. Even if Xue Xi really deleted the comments and deducted the votes, they should not be the ones to uphold justice.

The club president said, “Forget it.”

He could only admit defeat.

The person who was beaten looked at Xue Xi indignantly, then at He Gao. In the end, he suppressed his anger and went to the school’s infirmary.

Seeing that everything was fine, the crowd slowly dispersed. Only Xue Xi, He Gao, Li Zixia, and Xie Yingying remained.

Xue Xi said to He Gao, “Thank you.”

He Gao’s face was still dark as he said, “I was just returning the favor.”

Xue Xi: “…Oh.”

She stared at He Gao’s cheek. For some unknown reason, she recalled that every time something happened in Bin City, Little Flame would rush to the front with a dark expression to protect her.

The two faces slowly overlapped in front of her. In the end, Xue Xi suddenly smiled.

He Gao was baffled. “What are you laughing at?”

“I’m laughing at your handsomeness.”

He Gao: “…”

Xue Xi said, “Although you’re also good-looking with red hair, I have to say that you with black hair are even more handsome.”

After all, Little Flame’s red hair was too silly.

Li Zixia and Xie Yingying, who were listening: “?”

They felt that the green grass above the instructor’s headstone was starting to grow again!

The corners of He Gao’s lips twitched. “It’s starting again. I can’t be bothered with you.”

After saying that, he walked to the side. Just as he was about to leave, two people rushed over and grabbed him. “He Gao, you just said that you wanted to join our team. Does that still count?”

Before He Gao could speak, a cold female voice sounded. “Which team are you from?”

The two of them hurriedly said, “We are from the school’s eSports guild. Our team needs talents very much. Student, do you want to enter?”

School eSports guild…

Xue Xi glanced at He Gao and asked further, “What game?”

“POT.”

It was indeed this one.

Xue Xi looked at He Gao. “Do you want to join? Then I’ll also apply to join the association.”

He Gao’s eyes flickered. He frowned and said, “Why would I join this group? I don’t know how to play this game at all. I was just asking casually.”

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Just as Xue Xi was about to chase after him, someone grabbed her arm. She turned around and saw the two of them. “Hey, you just said that you wanted to join us, right? Thank you. Come, this is the registration form… Forget it, I’ll help you fill out the registration form. Xue Xi, right? How many calls have you had?”

Xue Xi: “?”

She turned around and looked around. Seeing that the other clubs would rather bypass her and greet others than look at her, she knew that the things on the Internet had affected her.

She asked, “Are you really going to accept me?”

The fight had blown up so much that the two of them must have found out. One of the boys, who was wearing glasses and was relatively skinny, thought about it carefully and nodded. “Yes. What’s your number?”

Xue Xi: “…”

Ye Li would definitely call her tonight and ask her how many clubs she had joined. It would be unreasonable if she did not join any of them.

Xue Xi paused and dialed her phone number.

The two of them were instantly wild with joy. “Alright, Xue Xi. Then go back to the dormitory. When there are school eSports events, we’ll call you! Also, don’t worry. Our school’s eSports club is very powerful. We’re planning to invite Feng Yan to the school for an activity this year. Do you know Feng Yan?”

Xue Xi: “…Yes.”

“Well, yeah. Who hasn’t heard of Feng Yan’s name? Alright, alright. Let’s contact each other again in the future!”

After saying that, the two of them returned to their recruitment venue. Xue Xi took a look and realized that their team’s name was Team Charge.

“…”

What kind of team name is this?

After registering with one club, Xue Xi randomly found a few other clubs to register with. Those teams looked at her. Although they gave her a registration form, Xue Xi knew that they would probably not accept her.

On the way back to the dormitory, she took out her phone and opened the school forum.

She had originally thought that it was fine for people to bash on the Internet, but now, for the first time, she deeply felt that the comments on the Internet had affected her reality.

And now, what had just happened had been synchronized with the forum.

There were comments below:

A certain freshman is so arrogant!

No club would want her!

“Deleting the comments and slashing the opponent’s votes. She can even do such a thing. She looks so pure and innocent, but I didn’t expect her to be like this.”

The malicious comments seemed to be a vent for the dissatisfaction in their lives.

Xue Xi quickened her pace.

Li Zixia and Xie Yingying followed beside her and asked, “Sister Xi, where are we going now?”

Xue Xi: “Back to the dormitory.”

“What for?”

The corners of Xue Xi’s lips curled up. Her eyes were cold and indifferent, but her words made Li Zixia and Xie Yingying feel her extreme dominance. “To clarify.”

“…”
