Liu Zhao was stunned when she heard this.

She did not expect Xue Xi to be so stubborn. When she returned to her senses, she felt a burst of joy. She would definitely offend Professor Derry like this.

How could Professor Derry not know that Mr. Guo had been expelled from Huaxia University? How could he not know the reason? However, even though he knew, he’d still invited Mr. Guo to teach in Scanford while pretending that he did not know.

Now that Xue Xi was going to speak so openly, Professor Derry would definitely not be able to get off the stage. This exchange student spot was definitely not hers!

As she thought this, Liu Zhao took two steps to the side. She did not want to be right in front of the confrontation, but she did not want to be too far away and unable to hear anything.

Xue Xi stood up from her seat and was about to walk back when Zhang Hao pretended to be going to the washroom and blocked her way. He lowered his voice and said, “Sister Xi, don’t be angry with her! She’s just trying to anger you on purpose!”

Xue Xi paused.

She did not expect Zhang Hao to stand up for her.

Just as she was about to say something, she saw a few other students walking over and surrounding her. “Xue Xi, are you going out for a walk?”

“Shall we go to the toilet together?”

“Let’s go, let’s go!”

The three girls grabbed Xue Xi’s arm and everyone winked at her, signaling her not to offend Derry.

Xue Xi was a little stunned.

When school had just started, she was actually a little withdrawn. The students in the class all kept a respectful distance from her. Moreover, when Mr. Guo’s incident happened, these students even criticized her indignantly.

Hence, Xue Xi had always felt that she was not popular in the class.

However, she did not expect so many people to care about her and stand up for her.

Seeing this, Liu Zhao raised an eyebrow. “What? You don’t dare? If you don’t dare, apologize to Mr. Guo!”

“Make way, make way, please make way. We’re going to the washroom!”

The moment Liu Zhao said this, someone beside her pushed her further away from Xue Xi, making Liu Zhao’s expression change.

To those who could get into Huaxia University, even if they were once led by others on the internet into becoming keyboard warriors, Liu Zhao’s actions today were too obvious.

Everyone had their pride. Professor Derry was indeed formidable, but why should the hero of the students, Xue Xi, apologize?

In the past, they had not seen Mr. Guo’s true colors and had helped him suppress Xue Xi. However, now that the truth was out, everyone could not let Xue Xi suffer!

Liu Zhao still wanted to squeeze in to speak, but under the deliberate exclusion of the students, she was getting further and further away from Xue Xi.

Li Zixia and Xie Yingying were stunned.

At this moment, they felt inexplicably touched. For Xue Xi, for their classmates.

The students had finally realized how good Sister Xi was.

Looking at everyone’s situation, the mist in Xue Xi’s eyes intensified. She suddenly smiled, causing the male students who were helping her isolate Liu Zhao to be in a daze.

The ice beauty was usually expressionless, but today, her sweet smile was like a flash in the pan. She was so beautiful that it moved one’s heart. She was simply too alluring!

Everyone’s faces turned red.

They used to think that Xue Xi was beautiful and good-looking, but they never knew that she was actually so gorgeous!

Just as everyone was in a daze, Xue Xi let go of the arms of those who wanted to forcefully bring her out of the classroom. She said coldly, “I know Professor Derry. It’s fine.”

They know each other?

Xue Xi actually knows Professor Derry?

The students in the class were all stunned. Just as they were feeling shocked, Xue Xi walked toward Derry.

Mr. Guo narrowed his eyes when he saw Xue Xi’s actions.

He hurriedly followed.

Seeing her walk over, Liu Zhao finally heaved a sigh of relief. She angrily pushed away the students who were blocking her way and walked over.

Instantly, the classroom was in a mess. Half of the students were squeezing in the aisle while the rest who could not squeeze in stood up and craned their necks to look over worriedly.

Professor Derry was chatting casually with Feng Xingshen when he suddenly saw Xue Xi walking toward him. He was slightly shocked, but when he saw so many people surrounding her, he asked in English in surprise, “What’s wrong?”

Derry could not understand Chinese, but Feng Xingshen understood what was going on.

He would definitely defend Xue Xi, so he said, “The students are fooling around.”

“Ah, youth.”

Feng Xingshen nodded. As more and more people gathered, Professor Derry finally realized that something was amiss. He frowned.

After a while, Xue Xi arrived in front of Derry.

Professor Derry was instantly excited.

Did Xue Xi come to greet him to talk about being an exchange student? He knew that Xue Xi would have definitely regretted rejecting him back then.

Although Huaxia University was good, its resources could not be compared to that of Scanford. After all, Scanford was a top university in the world.

Professor Derry suppressed the joy in his heart and thought about how he could appear calmer if Xue Xi mentioned it.

Fortunately, he was an old-fashioned person to begin with, so he still kept a straight face. However, when Xue Xi greeted him, he pushed his chair aside and stood up.

“Hello, Professor Derry.”

“Hello, Xue Xi.”

The rest of the students were even more surprised when they saw this reaction. Professor Derry actually knew Xue Xi and even accurately said her name!

Moreover, why did they feel that Professor Derry seemed to have a respectful attitude when speaking to Xue Xi?

Xie Yingying and Li Zixia: “Students, be more confident. Get rid of doubts!”

Xue Xi was the first to greet him, so she went straight to the topic. “Professor Derry, I heard that you invited Mr. Guo to teach in Scanford?”

Mr. Guo walked over with a smile.

Professor Derry replied, “Yes, that’s the case for now. I heard that Mr. Guo was your teacher, so your relationship should be good, right?”

Mr. Guo turned to look at Xue Xi with a look of disdain. Why? Are you planning on telling on me? Derry already knows about my actions in this school. Even so, he still invited me, indicating that I’m valuable to him!

Although he still did not know what value this was, Mr. Guo was confident that Professor Derry had just rebutted Feng Xingshen and protected him forcefully. How could he not protect a student of his?

As he thought this, he said, “Professor, of course I know Xue Xi very well. It was because she reported me that the students misunderstood me and got the school to expel me.”

The meaning was obvious: I don’t get along with Xue Xi.

Professor De Li would definitely scold Xue Xi!
