Someone chimed in, “What kind of punishment will it be?”

Li Xi seemed to be standing outside their dormitory as she continued, “Who knows? Anyway, this matter has already been reported to Huaxia University. What do you think will happen if she had to take the college entrance examination in the end?”

“Ah, you mean Huaxia University will disqualify her?”

“Why would Huaxia University want such a problematic student?”

Zhang Xiaoxiao lowered her head while doing her questions. When these words landed in her ears, she clenched her fists and bit her lip.

By the time Li Xi had said enough and left, Zhang Xiaoxiao could not help but turn to look at Xue Xi.

She sat there, looking exceptionally lonely and pitiful.

Although the Academic Goddess was formidable, she was still just a student. She must be feeling frightened out of her wits, right?

As Zhang Xiaoxiao thought this, she saw the Goddess’s shoulders move. Her eyes widened. Was she... crying?

Zhang Xiaoxiao was extremely anxious. She hurriedly stood up and walked to Xue Xi’s bed. She anxiously said, “Xue Xi, you... don’t cry. Even if they come tomorrow, they still have to clarify the matter first. Don’t worry, I will explain it for you!

“Besides, Huaxia University will definitely not cancel the recommendation. With your achievements, there are many good universities waiting to accept you. Don’t worry, there will definitely be no problem.

“If it really doesn’t work, though, I’ll go with you to appeal! I definitely won’t let you suffer!”

Seeing that Xue Xi was still keeping quiet, Zhang Xiaoxiao extended her hand. “Goddess, you...”

Before she could finish speaking, Xue Xi slowly turned around and looked at her with her misty eyes. She then took out her earphones and asked in confusion, “What’s wrong?”

Zhang Xiaoxiao: “??”

She stared at the phone for a while, then she saw Xue Xi remove her headphones and say to the person on the phone, “Wait a moment.”

She then looked at her again. “What’s the matter?”

Seeing that Zhang Xiaoxiao was staring at her phone, Xue Xi asked, “Right. Do you have any questions that you don’t know how to answer?”

Zhang Xiaoxiao: “...”

Hearing the notification sounds coming from her phone, Zhang Xiaoxiao started doubting her life.

So, the Goddess of Studying was not crying just now but playing games with the person on the phone? Were her shoulders shaking just because of that?

Zhang Xiaoxiao gulped. “You... Are you playing games?”

Xue Xi frowned and nodded seriously. “Mhm. It’s my game time from nine to eleven every night.”

Zhang Xiaoxiao: “...”

Sorry for bothering you.

Seeing that Zhang Xiaoxiao did not speak anymore and went back to doing her questions, Xue Xi then turned to look at the game and continued to put on her headphones. This way, she could hear the sounds in the game and would not disturb Zhang Xiaoxiao.

Little Flame’s voice sounded. “What’s wrong?”

Xue Xi typed: “My dorm mate called me. It’s fine now.”

Little Flame: “Oh, then continue?”

Xue Xi: “Sure.”

It was quite fun to play solo with Little Flame, especially since Little Flame’s marksman was very good. He had a good understanding of marksmen and had many strategies. He also had many tricks up his sleeves.

Xue Xi had learned a lot from Little Flame.

The two of them played for a while, and soon, it was 11 PM. No matter how reluctant Xue Xi was, she still did not want to let herself indulge in pleasure. Hence, she typed: “I’m done.”

Little Flame: “Sure.”

Just as Xue Xi was about to hang up, she suddenly thought of something and typed: “You’re back in Bin City? At home?”

Gao Yanchen paused and coughed. “Yes.”

Just as he said this, she heard knocking on the door. Someone immediately said, “Hello, your takeout is here.”

Xue Xi: “?”

You order takeout while at home?

Just as she was thinking this, she heard a voice from his side. “Hello, Mr. Gao. Your admission notice has expired. May I ask if you want to continue your stay today?”

Xue Xi: “?”

He still had to apply for a renewal of stay while at home?!

Gao Yanchen was also embarrassed. He coughed. “Mhm, that... That’s right, Sister Xi. If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up first.”

Xue Xi: “Oh.”

After hanging up, Xue Xi felt that Little Flame was simply too fun.

She got out of bed and washed up before lying on the bed again.

Zhang Xiaoxiao thought to herself that the Goddess must have played games to numb herself. Otherwise, it would have been too much of a torture. She then watched as Xue Xi lay on the bed. After a while, her breathing calmed down as though she had fallen asleep.

Zhang Xiaoxiao: “??”

...

The next day, Xue Xi woke up at 6 AM sharp.

Zhang Xiaoxiao was up too late last night and was currently resting on the bed. Xue Xi quietly got off the bed and washed up before leaving with her books.

She first warmed up in the courtyard, then carried her English vocabulary book and ran while memorizing the English words.

After she’d run one round, a person suddenly appeared beside her.

Turning around, she saw Li Xuekai walking beside her in his sports attire. Seeing that she was mumbling something, Li Xuekai asked, “What are you talking about?”

Xue Xi said an English word.

Li Xuekai: “...”

Xue Xi ran for half an hour and memorized the words. When she returned to the dormitory, she realized that Zhang Xiaoxiao had woken up and was lazing in bed.

Xue Xi washed up and sat at the desk.

Zhang Xiaoxiao realized that it was not that the Goddess of Studying did not study properly. She had simply planned her time very well. When it was time to play, she would play with ease, but she would never be wishy-washy about her studies.

Just like now, after entering her learning mode, she could even forget about her surroundings.

By 7:30 AM, Zhang Xiaoxiao had finished packing. The two of them went to the canteen for breakfast, and classes officially started at 8 AM.

Unfortunately, just as she exited the dormitory, she saw Xiang Huai standing at the entrance with the breakfast he had bought outside. He saw the two of them and waved his hand.

Zhang Xiaoxiao: “!!!”

Is this Li Zixuan really pursuing the Goddess of Studying?

Xue Xi calmly walked over and received the breakfast from his hands. The two of them then walked to the side as though no one was around.

No food was allowed in the classroom. Zhang Xiaoxiao carried her breakfast and followed behind Xue Xi and Xiang Huai. When she saw them eating breakfast, she suddenly regretted not going to the canteen. Was it really good to be fed sweets so early in the morning?!

The three of them finished their breakfast in the small pavilion in the courtyard before entering the classroom.

Just as she entered, she heard Li Xi’s voice. “I just saw someone from upstairs! I heard that they’re from the education department! They’ll definitely come to announce Xue Xi’s punishment later!”

Everyone in the classroom became nervous.

But Xue Xi was fine. After finding a seat with Xiang Huai, she looked at him. “Why are you here again?”

Xiang Huai leaned on the table and rested his chin on his hand. “I’m here to watch a good show.”
