nThe man only touched her lightly and let go of her.

n

n

nXue Xi could feel that her lips were soft and cold…

n

n

n

n

nJust as she was thinking about it, the man whispered in her ear, “Little kid, when will you grow up?”

n

n

nWhy should she grow up?

n

n

nXue Xi wanted to ask this question, but before she could say it, she suddenly opened her eyes.

n

n

nThe first thing she saw was the crystal chandelier on the ceiling, followed by the purple curtains. The sky was already bright and the light shone through the curtains into the room, making her certain that she was still in her bedroom.

n

n

n

n

nAfter five seconds, Xue Xi retracted her lost gaze.

n

n

nHow strange. Why did she have such a dream again?

n

n

nShe took a deep breath and looked at the time. It was already past six.

n

n

nShe woke up early and first memorized the language textbook before going downstairs. Just as she was about to go to the provision store, Xue Sheng went downstairs.

n

n

n

n

nLiu Yiqiu, who had been waiting on the sofa in the living room, stood up. “Big Brother, my brother called us early in the morning to ask if we want to invest. If it weren’t for the fact that my family doesn’t have so much cash flow, he would have definitely eaten this 100 million himself!”

n

n

nXue Sheng tidied his suit and looked at Liu Yiqiu. With a serious expression, he said, “The interest rate will be doubled in a short period of time. This has already surpassed the scope of normal business. Therefore, I advise you to be more cautious about this matter.”

n

n

nLiu Yiqiu’s expression turned ugly.

n

n

nAfter Xue Sheng left, she called Liu Jinmao. “Are you sure this business is reliable? Xue Sheng said that there is a risk so you should be careful.”

n

n

nLiu Jinmao sneered. “This is a project that the Bin City government has long wanted to open. It can only be obtained through connections. There is no problem at all. Moreover, my people personally saw Lu Chao visiting the Gao family and Elder Gao personally sent him out. Do you think that there will be a problem with someone who can make Elder Gao so respectful in his own city?”

n

n

nLiu Yiqiu was instantly convinced. “Then does our family have enough money?”

n

n

n

n

nLiu Jinmao snorted. “The Xue family doesn’t know what’s good for them. If they don’t want to take advantage of this, I’ll just take it all.”

n

n

nLiu Yiqiu instantly said, “Brother, I have some private money here, along with my dowry. Help me to invest.”

n

n

n…

n

n

nXue Xi ignored them and brought her breakfast to the provision store.

n

n

nXiang Huai was still in his black hoodie. Sitting in the darkness behind the counter, he was still reading. Xue Xi took a look at the title of the book. Today, he had moved on to another book. It was no longer “Great Sutra” but “Zhuangzi.”

n

n

n“…”

n

n

nAlthough Xiang Huai often flirted, he gave off a very cold feeling. Xue Xi had never seen him speak much to Lu Chao before.

n

n

nWhy would such a man need to read these books to cultivate his body and mind?

n

n

n

n

nThe more she looked, the stranger he became.

n

n

nWith this thought in mind, Xue Xi passed the breakfast to Canine Teeth. When the three of them were eating, Xue Xi would look at Canine Teeth from time to time. His eyes were bright when he was eating, and one could tell that he was eating very sweetly.

n

n

nThey were both called Lu Chao, but that person from yesterday was too discomfiting.

n

n

nAs she was looking, a cup of soy milk was delivered to her. Xue Xi returned to her senses and saw Xiang Huai stuffing the soy milk into her hands. He asked, “Little kid, what are you looking at?”

n

n

n“Mhm,” Xue Xi replied. “I’m looking at Lu Chao.”

n

n

n“…”

n

n

nLu Chao was eating a bun. When he heard this, he paused in his actions. He could only feel a chilly murderous aura emanating from his boss.

n

n

nHe felt a chill at his neck and subconsciously gulped.

n

n

nXiang Huai suddenly said slowly, “Can’t there be no one behind the counter during breakfast?”

n

n

nLu Chao stood up at once. “Yes, we can’t have no one manning the counter. I’ll keep an eye on it and quickly settle the bill if someone buys something.”

n

n

nAfter saying that, he picked up two buns and a serving of soya bean milk. When he reached the counter, he saw Xue Xi’s gaze on him. He immediately cowered and hid behind the cash register.

n

n

nOnly Xue Xi and Xiang Huai were left at the dining table. Xue Xi had no choice but to look at… the bun. She ate it seriously. When the two little buns entered her stomach, she suddenly thought of something and raised her head to ask Xiang Huai, “What does your shower gel smell like?”

n

n

nXiang Huai paused in his eating and slowly lifted his eyes. He shifted his gaze on her ambiguously and smiled. “It smells like vanilla. Why?”

n

n

n

n

nHis burning gaze made Xue Xi shift her gaze away uneasily. “Nothing.”

n

n

nThe last time, she scolded him for being a jerk and said that he controlled the dream. In the end, she was teased by him and even said something like “I have my thoughts in the day and I have dreams in the night.”

n

n

nThe sun had its own thoughts…

n

n

nXue Xi suddenly turned to look at Xiang Huai’s lips. His lips were thin, but his features were well-defined with a hint of determination.

n

n

nShe suddenly took out a napkin and passed it to Xiang Huai. “Wipe your mouth.”

n

n

nLu Chao poked his head out from behind the counter and stole a glance. He saw that his boss was a little stunned. The devil who always commanded others was actually obediently taking the tissues.

n

n

nXiang Huai looked at the half-eaten bun in his hand and put it down. After wiping his lips, he asked, “What’s wrong?”

n

n

nThe next moment, the girl suddenly stood up and approached him. The girl’s soft lips landed on his lips.

n

n

nXiang Huai froze and did not move.

n

n

nThe touch of his lips made Xue Xi feel as though she was in a dream, but the touch was even clearer. It was soft like jelly and she could not help but lick it.

n

n

nThey were instantly separated.

n

n

nBefore Xiang Huai could react, the girl had already withdrawn and asked in confusion, “Not sweet?”

n

n

n“…”

n

n

nXue Xi was being like a jerk who had teased a virtuous woman. After saying this, she picked up the soybean milk and drank it.

n

n

nI have my own thoughts in the day… Since I have my own thoughts, I won’t dream again if I do it in reality, right?

n

n

nSince they’d kissed for a short while, they did not need to shake hands today. Xue Xi finished her soy milk and felt the joy in her heart. She stood up, picked up her bag, and left mercilessly.

n

n

nXiang Huai, who had been teased, was stunned. He raised his finger and touched his lips. The next moment, he chuckled.

n

n

nThe little kid actually despised him, huh? She actually wanted him to wipe his lips first before she kissed him?

n

n

nHow… adorable!

n

n

n…

n

n

nAt ten in the morning, Xue Xi returned to the classroom after finishing her exercises. She then heard everyone say that the results for the Physics Olympiad were out.

n

n

nAs Xue Xi walked to her seat, she logged in to check her results.

n

n

nQin Shuang turned around and asked, “Sister Xi, how many marks did you get?”

n

n

nXue Xi had already found it and said, “300 marks.”

n

n

n“F*ck! Full marks!” Qin Shuang gave her a thumbs up. “Sister Xi, people like us could score full marks because we can only get full marks. But you scored 300 because the full marks are only 300!”

n

n

nUpon hearing Qin Shuang’s praises, Xue Yao opened the webpage with a cold expression. As long as she won the first prize, she would be able to enter the Winter Camp. It did not matter how much she scored. What was there to be proud of?

n

n

nAs she thought this, she looked at her results…
