She looked at the timetable. There was an entire day’s worth of classes today. There were two periods in the morning and one in the afternoon, but two classes in the morning took up four hours.

Hence, she arranged to meet the person at the canteen for a chat at noon.

After making the appointment, she saw Xie Yingying, who was sitting beside her, stretch her neck out to look behind her. She mumbled, “Sister Xi, did Zhang Hao and the rest really not go home last night?”

Looking at the speed they calculated yesterday, it was really possible.

Since Mr. Guo enslaved them, these three should be able to understand, right?

Xue Xi still felt that she should withdraw from Mr. Guo’s project. At this moment, the back door was pushed open and three people with greasy hair and oily faces walked in.

They found a seat in the backseat and fell asleep the moment they entered.

Xie Yingying exclaimed, “Gosh, did they not sleep for the whole night? Isn’t that too much? Didn’t Mr. Guo say anything?”

Xue Xi did not speak.

…

After the first period was over, when everyone was changing classrooms, Zhang Hao walked over and said to Xie Yingying, “There’s only one class this afternoon. After it’s over, we’ll continue to go to the laboratory. We’ve already arranged many calculation missions.”

Xie Yingying glanced at Xue Xi and could not help but say, “…I have Sister Xi, but are the three of you tired of living? Why don’t we leave the laboratory?”

Zhang Hao hesitated.

However, the other two boys immediately said, “Xie Yingying, have you also been brainwashed by Xue Xi? What’s wrong with working harder? Mr. Guo said today that he intends to choose two out of the five of us to be directly guaranteed as his graduate students!”

Xie Yingying: “Are you guys going to give up your lives to be a graduate student?”

The two of them sneered. “When you work in the future, you will still have to work overtime. Are you going to resign at that time? Mr. Guo will definitely not let us stay up late every day. Wasn’t it all because of someone yesterday?! We didn’t have to stay up late, but we actually got our workload doubled.”

They shot Xue Xi a glance and left.

Zhang Hao scratched his head. “Xue Xi, Xie Yingying, don’t be angry. Actually, Mr. Guo came over this morning and was very surprised to see us staying up all night. He even said that Xue Xi said that those calculations would be completed in a few hours. He didn’t expect us to stay up late. Sister Xi, it’s not that I want to criticize you, but you’re not human. We’re really mortals. Be more careful when you speak to Mr. Guo next time.”

Although he also blamed Xue Xi, he did not dare to speak too much because of Xie Yingying. He only left after complaining.

Xue Xi: “?”

Xie Yingying was also stunned.

After a while—”F*ck, why is Mr. Guo like a white lotus? Sister Xi, when did you say that? No wonder they’re all hostile to you! They’ve misunderstood you. I’ll help you explain.”

Just as she was about to go over, Xue Xi stopped her.

Xie Yingying turned around and saw Xue Xi say, “Do you think they will believe you or Mr. Guo?”

Xie Yingying: “…”

Of course, they were going to trust Mr. Guo.

She was really going crazy from anger. “How can a teacher be like this? I’m really speechless, but Sister Xi, are you fine with being misunderstood just like that?”

Of course not.

Xue Xi did not want to cause trouble, but she was never afraid of trouble.

She said, “I have a solution.”

If she could find Li Chun and figure out what was going on, she could expose the truth to the world and clear her name. She could also let Zhang Hao and the rest see Mr. Guo’s true colors!

Anyway, Li Chun was also doing the project now. She would definitely be able to find him in the laboratory.

Wasn’t she going to the laboratory in the afternoon?

Xue Xi lowered her eyes, which were filled with coldness.

…

After class in the morning, Xue Xi packed her bag and planned to go to the club meeting. However, just as she left the classroom, she received a call from Xiang Huai.

Xiang Huai: “The bell for class has already rung. Why aren’t you coming downstairs?”

Xue Xi paused. “How did you know that I didn’t go downstairs?”

Xiang Huai smiled.

Xue Xi suddenly realized something and her eyes widened. “You came to school?”

“Mhm. It’s rare for the little kid to call me yesterday. Of course I’ll come. I’ll bring you out for lunch.” His deep voice made Xue Xi’s lips curl up.

She replied, “Okay.”

After hanging up, Li Zixia pouted. “It must be Mr. Xiang!”

Xue Xi paused and tilted her head. “How did you know?”

Li Zixia said, “Sister Xi, the corners of your lips are almost lifted too high. It’s obvious that you’re so happy because Instructor Xiang is here!”

Xue Xi: “?”

She reached out and pressed the corners of her lips. Li Zixia was exaggerating too much.

However, when she heard that Xiang Huai was here, she was really a little happy.

Her footsteps became much more relaxed. The three of them quickly arrived downstairs. When they exited the school building, Xue Xi immediately spotted Xiang Huai.

The man was wearing a black t-shirt, and his cold white skin was exceptionally eye-catching in the crowd. Under his black hair, his brown eyes were focused on the door, and the moment he looked over, they were fixed on her.

Xue Xi’s cheeks turned red.

She coughed and strode toward Xiang Huai.

As she walked, she heard the girls around her pointing at him.

“So handsome!”

“Who is this man? Why haven’t I seen him at school before?”

“I really want his WeChat!”

Xue Xi paused.

Want his WeChat?

As she thought this, someone mustered up her courage and walked up to Xiang Huai. The girl said, “Fellow student, what year are you in?”

Xue Xi paused and was stunned.

Xiang Huai was also stunned for a moment. Although he had been hit on since he was young, this was the first time someone had confessed to him in front of a little kid!

He coughed.

The girl opposite said, “Can we add each other on WeChat?”

After saying that, she picked up her phone and opened WeChat.

Xue Xi: “?”

Xiang Huai: “?”

Xie Yingying and Li Zixia both held their breaths and looked at Xue Xi in unison. The three girls stood there without moving as though they were at a loss.

Xue Xi also frowned.

Then, the girl said, “Actually, I need 100 yuan on WeChat. I’ll give you 100 yuan in cash. Can you help me transfer funds to my WeChat?”

Xue Xi: “!!”

This was indeed a small favor. Most passersby would agree.

However, if he transferred the money, wouldn’t he leave his contact details?

Just as Xiang Huai was about to reject her, his face darkened. His little kid approached the two of them and took the girl’s money. She took out her phone. “My boyfriend doesn’t have money on WeChat. Let me do it.”

Xiang Huai raised an eyebrow.

My boyfriend?

The girl did not expect Xiang Huai to have a girlfriend and be caught. Her face turned red as she took the money back and stuttered, “No, no need.”

She then ran away in embarrassment.

Seeing that she had left, Xue Xi heaved a sigh of relief. However, before she could turn around, she heard Xiang Huai’s signature low laugh. His voice was so low that it seemed to be able to tug at her heartstrings.

Xue Xi felt a little guilty.

She turned around and suddenly said, “How can you casually add someone else’s WeChat?”

Xiang Huai: “?”

Just as he was about to say something, he heard Xue Xi say, “I don’t even have your WeChat.”

Xiang Huai: “?”

Xue Xi picked up her phone and passed it to him. “Boyfriend, add me on WeChat.”

Xiang Huai: “!!”

Happiness came too quickly!

But wait, if she added him on WeChat, wouldn’t Omnipotent Boss be exposed?
