nXue Xi had always been the center of gossip. After getting first in the level and getting first in the Math Star Competition, she became famous in school.

nHowever, she kept a low profile and spent most of her time studying. Her daily life was boring and uneventful.

nBut ever since Li Xuekai and Xue Xi’s posts became popular within the Math Olympiad circle, everyone began paying more attention to her.

n

n

nThis led to people secretly taking photos of her and posting them on Tieba.

nCoincidentally, when she left the provision store today, she came across a classmate who was secretly taking pictures. Xiang Huai made good use of that to make things clear!

nXue Yao had long ago publicized the fact that Xue Xi had a gigolo. Hence, when they saw the intimate photos, everyone instantly understood that the store owner was that gigolo!

nXue Xi knew nothing about what’s happening on the Internet.

n

n

nShe was wearing a baseball cap and a loose school uniform, as well as carrying a heavy bag. Just as she was approaching the school gate, she saw a group of people surrounding someone.

nShe had not intended to join in on the fun, but then she heard a familiar voice. “Brother Chen!”

nXue Xi paused and walked forward.

nAlthough everyone was surrounding two people, there was a huge space in the middle because the red-haired Gao Yanchen was one of those standing there. The young man’s red hair was standing on end, making him look like a non-mainstream punk. His face was handsome and cold, and he exuded an unyielding and powerful aura.

n

n

nNot far from him stood a short girl. The girl was wearing Bin City First High’s uniform—it was Liu Liyuan.

nTears welled up in her eyes as she complained, “Did you get my parents fired from their jobs?”

nGao Yanchen lowered his head to look at his phone. With his long fingers, he was currently switching to a smaller account. In the Math Olympiad thread, Xue Xi had a shot at winning first place. His efforts were weak, however, and Xue Xi’s votes still had her only in third place.

nHe was frustrated and became even more impatient when he heard Liu Liyuan’s words. “Yes. And?”

n“It’s really you! Gao Yanchen, how could you do this? If someone’s done something wrong, it’s them you should punish! If I’ve done something, then come at me! What right do you have to fire my parents from their jobs?!” Liu Liyuan cried as she continued to shout, “Do you think you can bully ordinary people just because the Gao family is powerful?”

nGao Yanchen put down his phone. He was originally feeling too lazy to explain, but he could not leave such words unanswered. His star-shaped eyes stared blankly at Liu Liyuan, and his tone was cold and indifferent. “Is there something wrong with firing two employees who have made huge mistakes in their jobs?”

n

n

nLiu Liyuan panicked. “Don’t make up excuses. You’re clearly seeking revenge for Xue Xi! I already know that you acknowledged her as your boss! I’m really curious. What did Xue Xi give you to make you, Gao Yanchen, stand up for her like this?! Did she sleep with you?”

nThe moment she said “sleep,” Gao Yanchen’s violent aura intensified.

nHe suddenly took a step forward and said in a vicious and deep voice, “What the hell did you just say?”

nLiu Liyuan was shocked.

nShe came from an ordinary family. Her parents lived from paycheck to paycheck, and now they suddenly lost their jobs in their middle-age. It was only later that they realized that it was because their daughter had offended someone she should not have offended!

nEvery day this past week, they had been trying to get a job. Alas, no one dared to offend the Gao family. The pressure of life quickly crushed the two of them and they started to scold Liu Liyuan.

nShe really could not take it anymore!

nAt the thought of her parents, Liu Liyuan felt a strong urge to commit suicide. She raised her head and shouted, “What’s wrong? How dare she do it and not let others know?”

n

n

n“F*ck!” Gao Yanchen bellowed. “If you dare to say that again, I’ll beat you until your parents can’t recognize you!”

nLiu Liyuan shouted, “She’s a b*tch! Just because she’s pretty, she seduced you, the school bully, so you’d submit to her…”

nGao Yanchen did not speak further. He took a step forward and was about to attack!

nThere was a flash in Liu Liyuan’s long sleeves. She took out a fruit knife and rushed at Gao Yanchen. “If you won’t let me live, then everyone else can also stop living!”

nA cold glint flashed across Gao Yanchen’s eyes. He thought that this person did not want to live since she dared to take out a knife.

nJust as he was about to dodge, a petite and skinny figure rushed in.

nThe girl in the baseball cap grabbed his arm and pulled Gao Yanchen to the side. Then, the girl took a step back with her right leg and raised her fists. After receiving a series of kicks, hits, throws, grabs, and twists, Liu Liyuan fell to the ground. With her hands held behind her back and her face pressed against the ground, she was unable to move.

nWith one hand gently controlling the girl, Xue Xi looked up at Gao Yanchen and slowly asked, “Are you alright?”

nGao Yanchen was stunned as he stared fixedly at Xue Xi.

nUnder the white baseball cap, the girl’s eyes were covered in a layer of mist. They were pure and mysterious. At this moment, she was still expressionless and indifferent, but Gao Yanchen could see a hint of concern.

nThe young man pursed his lips and his heart felt warm.

nNo one had ever rushed in front of him to protect him during a fight.

nHe pulled a long face and asked, “What about her?”

n

n

nXue Xi thought about it and finally said, “Call the police.”

nLiu Liyuan came to their school with a sharp weapon, clearly intending to kill.

nThe last time something happened involving her, it was the pigeon-like police who helped.

nGao Yanchen nodded. “Sure.”

nAfter calling the police and waiting for them to arrive, Gao Yanchen could not help but look at Xue Xi. Recalling Liu Liyuan’s words, he coughed and raised his chin. “Don’t believe her words.”

nXue Xi: “…What words?”

nGao Yanchen choked and finally said, “Nothing.”

nHe definitely did not have such thoughts about girls.

nBack then, Xue Xi had defeated him in front of so many underlings. In order to save face and uphold justice, he could only lower his head and call her Sister Xi.

nHe helped to canvass for votes only because the Roaring Flame Society could not be bullied!

nBut that did not mean that he would really submit to her from the bottom of his heart.

nHe had to find an opportunity to spar with Xue Xi in the future and snatch back the position of “boss” so that she could dye her hair red!

nAs he thought this, Gao Yanchen calmed down a little. He received a link from Flame Number One on WeChat: “Brother Chen, Sister Xi really has a boyfriend!”

nGao Yanchen: “?”

nHe opened the thread and took a look. The man in the photo was facing the camera, and one could tell only that he was good-looking. As expected of a gigolo.

nHe tensed up.

nXue Xi was so naive. This person must have cheated money and manipulated others’ feelings. No, he could not just stand by and watch!

nWhen the police arrived and took Liu Liyuan away, Xue Xi returned to class.

nGao Yanchen looked at the time. The results of the National Mathematical Olympiad were to be released at 10 AM. There was still time!

nAt this thought, he turned around and found the provision store.

nHe pushed open the door and entered. When he saw the gigolo behind the counter, he threw a card over.

n“There’s a million inside. Leave her and the money is yours.”

nXiang “Gigolo” Huai: “?”
