Ch416: Who Is Xue Xi?

In the office.

The five of them lined up in front of Mr Guo. Mr Guo looked at them and said, “You guys were all guaranteed admission through the Math Olympiad. I think there are three other representatives from China who participated in the IMO, right? Then your mathematics foundation should be very solid.”

Other than Xue Xi, the others were a little embarrassed.

Mr Guo smiled. When he was not smiling, his face was a little mean, but when he smiled, he appeared much more charitable. “There is a saying that goes, learning is like sailing against the current. If you don’t advance, you will fall behind. And you guys are different from others. They were all admitted through the college entrance examination. To put it bluntly, they are strong in every subject. If they don’t do well in mathematics, they can change careers in the future, but the five of you are different.

“Of course, you don’t have to feel pressured. I called you guys over because there’s a learning opportunity I’d like to extend. I wonder if you guys would want to study under me? Of course, studying under me will definitely be very tiring, but I don’t think there will be many opportunities for first-years to work under teachers.”

The five’s eyes lit up. “Yes!”

Mr Guo nodded. “Alright. I’ll explain it to the postgraduates. You guys can go over when the time comes. Remember to go when there are no classes. I’ve already said it beforehand. Don’t feel tired!”

“We’ll go over now. Coincidentally, there won’t be any classes after this!” Xie Yingying guaranteed.

Mr Guo nodded in satisfaction and let the five of them out.

Xue Xi said, “I have something on today. You guys go first.”

Xie Yingying said, “Alright, Sister Xi. I’ll help you explain it to the teacher in the laboratory.”

After saying that, she went to the laboratory with the other three boys.

Xue Xi exited the office building and saw the three people standing at the side, staring at her.

Li Zixia and Gu Peng stood together. Both of them were a little stunned and stared at her with uncertainty and shock.

Meanwhile, Qian Zheng pouted and cupped her fists. When she saw her, she snorted and turned around.

Xue Xi: “?”

She slowly walked over, but before she could, Li Zixia arrived in front of her. “Sis, Sister Xi, so you know Qian Zheng?”

Xue Xi: “... Mhm.”

Gu Peng was also helpless. “Then why didn’t you say so earlier? We’d been frightened for your sake these past few days!”

Xue Xi: “... I did.”

The two of them: “?”

Only then did Li Zixia recall that at the banquet, she had told Xue Xi that if anyone came to ask if she knew Qian Zheng, she must answer them that she did.

At that time, Xue Xi had replied with an “Oh.” She’d merely felt that Sister Xi had become easier to talk to. Now that she thought about it—Xue Xi simply knew her!

The corners of her lips twitched as she rubbed her forehead helplessly. She then lowered her voice and said, “Sister Xi, I don’t know the situation. I accidentally said something wrong in front of Ms Qian just now. Hurry and coax her!”

From Li Zixia’s point of view, even if Xue Xi knew Qian Zheng, she was still the kind of person Qian Zheng controlled.

Xue Xi nodded.
