Ch. 291..300
Chapter 291
Only then did the girl realize the seriousness of the situation. She looked at the boy behind her and whispered, “Class monitor..
The person addressed as Class Monitor did not expect things to become so complicated. He had originally planned to follow Zhang Li to resolve the matter on the forum to prevent it from affecting their class’s good evaluation. Who knew that he would accompany her to the police station?
Thinking of the culprit behind all of this, the boy glared at Yuan Xiao.
Fang Yao felt the boy’s unhappy gaze. “What are you glaring at? Don’t surrender your eyes.”
The boy was still more afraid of Fang Yao. When he heard Fang Yao’s words, he did not say anything.
“Zhang Li, go apologize,” the boy said.
Yuan Xiao only knew who the two of them were when she heard this name. She could not help but laugh disdainfully.
Fang Yao could not help but mock, “Why do you want to be arrested so much? Before my lawyer could take the initiative to look for you, you took the initiative to walk into a trap?”
“Be quiet. The person who reported the case, come here for a moment.” The police extinguished the signs of an argument between the two sides in time and called Yuan Xiao over.
“I suggest that you settle it. Because the process of litigation is more troublesome, you still need to hire a lawyer,” the police officer said in a businesslike manner.
The main reason was that these people were all university students. They probably did not have the energy and money to sue.
Yuan Xiao smiled and said, “Uncle Officer, it’s a coincidence. My lawyer was about to look for her, but I didn’t expect her to walk into a trap.”
The police officer was surprised, but he did not ask too much. He nodded to show that he understood. “In that case, I’ll help you file a report.”
Soon, they came out of the police station. The moment Zhang Li came out, she pounced on Yuan Xiao.
Fang Yao appeared in time. “I said you’re a crazy woman, and you really think of yourself as one. You have the police station right behind you. How dare you be so impudent?”
Zhang Li clearly realized that something was wrong. She stared at Yuan Xiao and said, “Yuan Xiao, I’ll expose your true colors in front of Qi Yuan. Don’t be smug. When the time comes, you’ll definitely be the one to be arrested!” With that, she left without looking back, leaving the boy alone.
The boy was a little hesitant. In the end, he walked in Yuan Xiao’s direction. “Junior, if you insist on pursuing the matter, can you only pursue the matter of Zhang Li?”
“As long as you don’t comment, I won’t pursue the matter.” With that, Yuan Xiao left with Fang Yao and the others.
The boy fell behind, fists clenched.
As soon as Wang Xin left, she could not help but complain, “I’m really speechless. Is there something wrong with Zhang Li’s mind? I’m really afraid. Look at her just now.”
Yuan Xiao was actually a little puzzled. Under normal circumstances, ordinary people should apologize and beg her to withdraw the charge. Why did Zhang Li have to be like a lunatic?
“Xiao Xiao, it’s not safe for you to do this. Send me the class schedule. I’ll pick you up after class.” Fang Yao’s face was filled with worry.
Yuan Xiao wanted to refuse, but when she saw Fang Yao’s worried gaze, she nodded.
At noon, Li Chang invited Yuan Xiao and the others to the hotpot restaurant for lunch. When they arrived, they realized that Zhao Yu and Pan Ning were also sitting there.
Seeing Pan Ning, Wang Xin and Yuan Xiao were very excited.
“Pan Ning, I see that you’re getting more and more energetic. Do you like your current major?” Wang Xin sat beside Pan Ning and teased.
Pan Ning nodded heavily, her eyes shining. “I like this major very much.’
Seeing how happy she was, Yuan Xiao and Wang Xin were sincerely happy for her.
“How did the two of you meet?” Yuan Xiao suddenly remembered that Pan Ning and Li Chang had never met before.
“I went to the dormitory to look for you, but I bumped into her. After exchanging names, I knew that she was the person you were talking about, so I simply brought her over.” Li Chang answered Yuan Xiao’s question as she poured the vegetables into the pot.
“What about Zhao Yu?” Yuan Xiao’s lips curled into an ambiguous smile. She decided to assist the two of them. They clearly had feelings for each other, but they had to hide them and never expressed their feelings.
Li Chang’s hands paused, and her face was extremely red. However, she still pretended to be calm. “Which gathering of ours haven’t included him? I might as well get him along.”
Zhao Yu lowered his head shyly. He could not help but feel a little disappointed when he heard this.
Yuan Xiao shook her head. At this rate, the two of them might not even be able to get together after graduating from university.
However, it was not good for her to interfere too much. She could only stop when it was appropriate..
Chapter 292
Yuan Xiao raised the drink in her hand in Pan Ning’s direction. “Welcome to University A.”
Wang Xin hurriedly swallowed the meat in her mouth and raised her drink. “Pan Ning, welcome, welcome. Congratulations on entering your favorite biology major!”
Although the others were not very familiar with Pan Ning, they also congratulated her.
The steam from the hotpot made Pan Ning’s cheeks a little pink. However, her eyes were blurry from the smoke, but they were still strangely bright. They were eyes that saw light.
“Thank you.” She downed the drink in her glass, forcing herself to drink it.
Wang Xin patted her back with a concerned expression, but she couldn’t help but mock, “Pan Ning, why would someone choke on a drink?”
Pan Ning’s face turned even redder.
The most famous characteristic of professional lawyers was that they were fast. The court date was soon set.
Initially, some people were still hoping for a fluke, but when they saw that it was true, they started to panic. Some people started to panic and curse non-stop.
[Is there a need to fight a lawsuit over such a small matter?]
[If you ask me, we’re all from the same school. We’ll see each other often. Why make things so awkward?]
[That’s right. Some people just post it casually. They don’t really have any ill intentions.]
This time, the comments section was not filled with curses. There were already people retorting for Yuan Xiao.
[A lawsuit is a citizen’s personal right. It doesn’t matter how big or small the matter is. As long as you want to fight, you can fight.]
[The school is so big. Some people might not even see each other for four years.
What’s there to be embarrassed about?]
Li Chang arrived at Yuan Xiao’s dormitory and handed her the cell phone impatiently. “Professional lawyers are indeed different.”
Yuan Xiao also handed her phone over. “Then I’ll let you guys watch something even more satisfying.”
Li Chang and Wang Xin leaned over and saw that Yuan Xiao’s private messages were filled with apologies. Even now, they were still sending messages.
“This is too awesome!” Wang Xin’s eyes widened.
“Xiao Xiao, don’t forgive them so easily. Even if they want to apologize, they have to publicly apologize with their real name!” Li Chang said fiercely.
When Xu Wan heard their words, she frowned slightly. “Yuan Xiao, actually, I don’t think there’s a need to make things so ugly. You’ve offended so many people at once. What will happen in the future?”
She was not really thinking for Yuan Xiao. It was mainly because someone came to her and asked her to plead for mercy.
At this moment, Xu Wan was also a little glad. Fortunately, she had taken into account that her photo was posted on her account and did not comment.
Three pairs of eyes gathered on Xu Wan’s face, making her panic. Even before Yuan Xiao said anything, she found an excuse to leave. “I’m just making a suggestion.”
Seeing her flee, Li Chang and Wang Xin’s topic turned to ridiculing Xu Wan.
After Xu Wan left, she went to look for Zhou Nan, who was borrowing books in the library. She exaggerated and spouted nonsense, making Zhou Nan so angry that she almost threw away her books and rushed back to the dormitory.
“Zhou Nan, I know you’re angry, but this is still an opportunity. If this matter really blows up, it will leave a bad impression on the counselor.” Xu Wan grabbed Zhou Nan.
Zhou Nan was furious. “Wan Wan, you’re just too good-tempered. You’re being bullied like this just to remind her out of kindness. She actually doesn’t know what’s good for her and even scolded you!”
“Sigh, I don’t know how I provoked her.” Xu Wan pretended to be aggrieved. “She’s definitely jealous of you, but the matter on the forum this time was actually resolved so easily by her. I was even planning to take this opportunity to suggest changing dormitories.” Zhou Nan’s face revealed a look of pity.
“I’m really envious of Yuan Xiao. I heard that the lawyer was hired by Fang Yao. He’s quite impressive. He can even turn black into white.” Xu Wan sighed.
Zhou Nan frowned and quickly relaxed. “Wan Wan, I’ve thought it through. Yuan Xiao is really despicable. She actually wants to use the pressure of public opinion. She deliberately made the matter sound serious to break the psychological defense of the commenters and make them apologize. Not only can she remove herself from the matter, but she can also obtain a good reputation. She killed two birds with one stone!”
“I didn’t expect it to be like this.” A hint of shrewdness flashed across Xu Wan’s eyes. “Many of my friends came to plead with me, but she rejected them mercilessly at that time. If that was really the case, my friends would have been wronged..”
Chapter 293
“We’re clearly from the same dormitory, but she’s not even willing to help you with such a small favor. To her, it’s just a lawsuit withdrawal. It’s not a big deal!” Zhou Nan said indignantly.
“Sigh, maybe she just wants to vent her anger.” Xu Wan added fuel to the fire.
Zhou Nan sneered and lowered her head to type on the phone screen. No one knew what she was doing.
The corners of Xu Wan’s mouth curled up slightly.
The court session was approaching. Of course, no one would take the initiative to go. Yuan Xiao also made another statement. “The defendant has been summoned twice by the court. If he refuses to appear in court without a valid reason, he will be given a detention notice.”
On the other end of the cell phone, many people looked flustered.
If they had known that this would happen, they would not have said anything even if they died. However, things had already reached this point and there was no way to salvage it.
Other than a portion of them who were vexed, another portion of people felt that Yuan Xiao had gone overboard. They had already sent private messages to apologize, but now it was insisted that they publicly apologize. Yuan Xiao and her gang did not care about their faces at all. This was deliberate humiliation.
Therefore, when the post accusing Yuan Xiao was posted, it immediately reached the highest popularity.
#Does Yuan Xiao really have a clear conscience or is she spreading false information#
The discussion on the forum reached its peak. Because many people had commented under the original post, most people firmly believed that it was the latter. Some people even threatened to call the police to detain Yuan Xiao.
Zhou Nan looked at the post and nodded in satisfaction. She handed her cell phone to Xu Wan, who was eating, and said fiercely, “Heh, I told you she’s not a good person. She’s really good at using the Internet. Now, she’s definitely going to be arrested. I’ll contact the counselor now and tell her about the change of dormitories!”
Xu Wan looked at the content of the post and suppressed the crazy smile on her lips. “I really didn’t expect her to be such a person.”
Zhou Nan and Xu Wan were not the only ones discussing this matter in the canteen. Most people were discussing the matter on the forum. After all, this matter had already become popular.
In the dormitory.
When Yuan Xiao saw the post, she retorted, “They really won’t shed tears until they see the coffin. Why are they resisting stubbornly?”
Wang Xin also saw the post. “Xiao Xiao, don’t bother about such posts. We’ll know if it’s true when they’re detained in a few days.”
“Of course I’ll ignore them, ” Yuan Xiao replied.
Messages popped up on her cell phone crazily. They were all good friends coming to express their concern. After Yuan Xiao went through them one by one, she switched the chat interface to the chat interface with Fang Yao.
“The people in the comments section are a little crazy. If you have any updated schedule, you must tell me. I’ll pick you up.”
Looking at the concerned words sent by the other party, Yuan Xiao’s heart warmed. At this moment, she thought of something else.
“Got it. It’s almost the deadline for the promotional video. Have you submitted the manuscript?”
“I handed it in after the editing. Don’t worry,” Fang Yao replied.
In the blink of an eye, it was time for class in the afternoon. Looking at Zhang Li in front of them, Yuan Xiao and Wang Xin had a headache. The school was so big, but they had to meet this crazy woman again.
Zhang Li had a crazy smile on her face. “Yuan Xiao, this is your retribution. I’ve already seen through your scheme. I definitely won’t apologize. In addition, even if you use all your methods, Qi Yuan won’t even look at you!”‘
Yuan Xiao did not want to talk to her too much. She pulled Wang Xin and prepared to walk past her.
Unexpectedly, when they passed by Zhang Li, she actually reached out to push them. One had to know that the railing was just on the right and it was very likely that they would fall.
Anger surged in her heart uncontrollably. Yuan Xiao could no longer suppress it. After helping Wang Xin up, she walked up to Zhang Li in three steps and slapped her hard on the face. “What is the truth? You’ll know when the next court hearing comes.”
Zhang Li covered her swollen face as tears filled her eyes. She did not expect Yuan Xiao to attack her directly.
At this moment, Yuan Xiao did not even look at Zhang Li. She turned around and asked Wang Xin, “Are you alright?”
Wang Xin rubbed her waist after she had bumped into the corner of the wall. She said with lingering fear, “I’m fine. Fortunately, this wall is high..”
Chapter 294
Yuan Xiao frowned and looked at the area Wang Xin was rubbing. She lifted her clothes. When she saw the bruises, anger surged in her heart again.
Wang Xin did not expect it to be so serious. She hurriedly grabbed Yuan Xiao’s wrist. “It’s fine. It just looks more serious than it is. There are so many people here. It’s better not to get tangled with this crazy woman. If the counselor finds out, we won’t have a good time.”
Only then did Yuan Xiao forcefully suppress the anger in her heart. She nodded and let go of her clothes before turning to look at Zhang Li.
For some reason, Zhang Li’s entire body went limp under her gaze and she knelt on the ground with a plop.
By the time she reacted, Yuan Xiao and Wang Xin had already left.
The surrounding people were still watching. The way they pointed and pointed made the hatred in Zhang Li’s heart deepen. She resisted the urge to cry and stood up. She pushed through the crowd and rushed out.
Wang Xin held her waist and tugged at Yuan Xiao’s clothes. “I know you’re angry, but you’re too impulsive. What if she tells the teacher?”
Yuan Xiao said coldly, “If she tells the teacher, she’ll be really stupid. She was in the wrong in this matter. If that wall was any lower, you would have fallen over.”
Wang Xin felt a little afraid when she thought about it. She exhaled. “If she really wants to find a teacher, there are so many students around. Someone will definitely speak up for us. Besides, there are surveillance cameras in the corridor.”
The more she spoke, the more relaxed Wang Xin became. She rubbed her waist, her entire face twisted. “It hurts.”
Only then did the expression on Yuan Xiao’s face relax a little. “I have medicine there. I’ll apply it for you when we get back.”
Before class ended, Yuan Xiao inadvertently looked at the door and saw Fang Yao standing there waving at her.
The corners of Yuan Xiao’s mouth curled up slightly. He really came to pick her up. He was treating her like a three-year-old child.
Class was about to end in two to three minutes. There was a hurried knock on the door.
Yuan Xiao, who was tidying her notes, subconsciously looked up. She thought that something had happened on Fang Yao’s side, but when she looked over, she realized that it was a relatively young woman.
Her face was filled with impatience. She even ignored the fact that the teacher was in class and shouted, “Yuan Xiao, who’s Yuan Xiao? Come with me.”
Yuan Xiao looked at the woman’s familiar face and recognized her as the counselor she had not seen much since school started. She looked puzzled, but she obediently began to pack her things.
However, before she could pack up, the counselor urged again, “Where’s Yuan Xiao? Why isn’t she out yet? Don’t tell me she skipped class? Then she’ll fail this class.”
When Wang Xin heard her teacher’s tone, she could not help but stand up and say, “Teacher, Yuan Xiao is here.”
The counselor looked over and became even more impatient. “Does she not have a mouth or long legs? Can’t she answer? How old is she? Do you want me to teach her these basic things? She’s really rude.”
Wang Xin’s face turned red from the rebuttal, but because of the identity of the person opposite her, she did not know how to refute. She stood there at a loss.
Yuan Xiao really did not know how she had provoked the counselor. She remembered seeing the counselor a few times when school started and had not contacted her since.
“I’m sorry, Teacher. I’m packing my things,” Yuan Xiao said politely.
The counselor crossed her arms. “And the one standing. Don’t you like to stand out? Come with me.
With that, she left without looking at the two of them.
The teacher, who had been interrupted, stood on the podium with a very ugly expression. She suppressed her anger and waved at Yuan Xiao and Wang Xin. “The two of you should hurry up and go. Don’t make the teacher wait.”
They nodded and quickened their pace.
As soon as Yuan Xiao went out, she was pulled to the side by Fang Yao. “Your teacher looks quite young. Is she going through menopause so early?”
The two of them were originally a little upset, but after Fang Yao said that, a smile appeared on their faces.
“Let’s go over and see what’s going on first.” Yuan Xiao comforted.
The counselor walked very quickly and had no intention of waiting for them. If Yuan Xiao had not been to the office before, she really did not know where to go..
Chapter 295
The few of them went to the office and knocked on the door first. However, there was no response from inside, so she could only knock again.
The door opened, revealing the counselor’s impatient face. “Why are you knocking? Don’t you know how to push the door open and come in yourself?
Why are you putting on such airs? Do you need me to invite you in personally?”
“Teacher, I don’t think I’ve offended you in any way, right?” Yuan Xiao was not a pushover. No matter how polite she was, she was still a little angry with how the counselor rebuked her.
Wang Xin stood at the side and clenched her fists tightly.
When the counselor heard this, she did not reflect on herself at all. Instead, she rolled her eyes. “How can you have the cheek to say such things? You’ve only been here for a few days and you’re already causing so much trouble for me?”
As she spoke, she walked in. Yuan Xiao and Wang Xin could only follow behind her.
Yuan Xiao was very puzzled by the counselor’s words. She could not say that it was about the forum, right? However, she had not contacted the counselor from the beginning to the end. How could she say that she was looking for trouble?
She followed the counselor to the side of the office. Yuan Xiao immediately saw the complete packaging of skincare products on the table. There was no choice. The packaging of the skincare products was too eye-catching.
Yuan Xiao also happened to know that she had used this skincare product before. It was a big foreign brand which was quite expensive.
However, she quickly retracted her gaze.
“As a student, pay more attention to your studies. Don’t think about those crooked things. It’s fine if your life is so indecent, but you actually hit a student and bullied your roommate? Do you know how many people have complained to me? Where do you want my face to be? I’m here to be a teacher in school, not to be your mother and pick up after you. I wonder how someone like you got into this school?”
The counselor’s words were really unpleasant, making Wang Xin angry. “As a teacher, it’s not good for you to slander a student without distinguishing right or wrong.”
Unexpectedly, the counselor was even angrier than her. She slammed the table heavily. “Why are you talking back to the teacher?”
Wang Xin was furious. Just as she was about to speak again, Yuan Xiao grabbed her wrist. She could only stare at the counselor with wide eyes.
“What are you looking at? Do you believe that I’ll make you fail?” The counselor threatened.
“Teacher, you didn’t ask me to come here for these things, right?” Yuan Xiao interrupted the counselor and attracted her attention.
As expected, the counselor turned to Yuan Xiao. “I hope you can delete the unnecessary things on the forum. Secondly, apologize to your senior, Zhang Li. No matter what, you shouldn’t hit her in front of so many people. Lastly, there isn’t enough vacancy in the dormitory. Go and stay outside. It’s also for the sake of your dormitory’s relationship.”
Yuan Xiao was so angry that she laughed. “Teacher, you haven’t seen their slander at all? Besides, Zhang Li was the one who started the matter. There’s also the problem of accommodation. We paid the accommodation fee, so why can’t we stay in the dormitory?”
The counselor’s tone was very impatient. “There’s already a photo. Could it be fake? There’s also the matter of hitting someone. I don’t think you’re injured, but you bullied her until she cried. As for the dormitory, you know very well that you’re really the worst student I’ve ever seen. I still have something on.
Don’t delay me here.”
Yuan Xiao took a few deep breaths before barely suppressing her anger. Without saying a word, she pulled Wang Xin away.
When they closed the door, they could still hear the counselor scolding them for being rude.
As soon as she left the office, Fang Yao surrounded her. “What’s wrong? Xiao
Xiao, why do you look so pale?”
Wang Xin couldn’t help but complain, “I’m really speechless. This is the first time I’ve seen such a person.”
She was so angry that she did not know how to organize her words. Yuan Xiao could only explain what had happened just now.
Fang Yao was dumbfounded. “How can such a person be worthy of being a teacher? How can I let you suffer for nothing?”
After saying that, he was about to open the office door when Yuan Xiao hurriedly stopped him. “Don’t be anxious. It won’t be good if she remembers you. After all, it’ll affect your studies. Have you forgotten your bet with your brother?”
Fang Yao stopped in his tracks, then his gaze was firm. “The bet is not as important as you. How can I watch my girlfriend be bullied?”
Yuan Xiao was originally a little angry, but after hearing Fang Yao’s words, her mood improved a lot. “She probably listened to others. Ignore her. It’s better to catch the clown behind her..”
Chapter 296
“You’re right. How can an ordinary teacher be so impudent?” Fang Yao also calmed down.
“Xiao Xiao, what should we do now? Will she fail us?” Wang Xin was a little worried.
“We’re not on any scholarships or bursaries, I doubt she has anything on us. We don’t have her classes either, so don’t worry.” Yuan Xiao comforted Wang Xin.
When Wang Xin heard her say this, she was completely relieved. “But I’m so indignant. With your results, you’ll definitely be able to get a scholarship.”
“It’s fine. As a counselor, she might not be able to do it at that time,” Yuan Xiao said as she took out her phone. Fortunately, she had the foresight to record it in advance.
It seemed that she had to prepare a recording pen at any time in the future.
Wang Xin’s eyes lit up. “Hmph, with this thing, even if we report it to the
Education Bureau, she won’t have anything to say!’
The news about Yuan Xiao spreading fake posts became more and more popular until the police arrived. Everyone’s self-righteousness was shattered.
Many students who were in class were taken away. As there were many people involved, they only found a few who had more serious cases.
Only then did they realize the severity of the matter.
The post that spread the rumors back then was still not deleted, but the comments below all turned into apologies. It was very satisfying.
Moreover, because of Shen Yan’s existence in the court and the fact that those students were unprepared, Yuan Xiao easily won.
Those who spread rumors on the Internet were also punished according to the severity of the situation.
Among them, Zhang Li was the most miserable. After she posted false rumors, she provoked Yuan Xiao again and again and disturbed public order. The crimes she was sentenced to were even more serious, and her life was completely ruined.
The so-called rumors collapsed on their own, and everyone became even more respectful of Yuan Xiao.
She thought that everything had come to an end, but to Yuan Xiao’s surprise, the counselor actually contacted her again.
“Why haven’t you moved out yet?” The counselor questioned.
Back then, for the sake of communication, everyone had added the counselor’s WeChat, including Yuan Xiao.
When she received the counselor’s message, she was still in a daze. When she reacted, she immediately replied, “Why do we have to move out after paying the accommodation fee? Also, shouldn’t you apologize for misunderstanding me previously?”
When the counselor saw that she could not pursue the first two matters, she actually kept quiet and did not mention it. Instead, she had the cheek to mention moving out.
At the thought of this, Yuan Xiao looked at Zhou Nan’s table.
It was really a coincidence. The unwrapped skincare products on her table were from the same brand as the counselor’s skincare products. The dormitory happened to be related to them, so it was obvious who was behind it.
She agreed to change dormitory, however. It was best to let them live with Cui Ya. Evil people would naturally be tortured by evil people.
The counselor seemed guilty and did not reply for a long time.
Yuan Xiao thought for a moment and sent another message. “It’s impossible for me to move out of the dormitory, but I can change rooms.”
The counselor did not reply the message she sent. She did not know if she had forwarded the message to Zhou Nan or Xu Wan.
Just as she was thinking about Zhou Nan and Xu Wan, the two of them pushed the door open and entered. The expressions on their faces were not good. When they saw Yuan Xiao, their expressions were even worse, but they did not say anything. After washing up, they went straight to bed.
As no one spoke, the atmosphere in the entire dormitory was very oppressive. Wang Xin could not help but send a message to Yuan Xiao. “My friend told me that their dormitory is very lively every night. It seems like they have endless things to say, but our place is quieter than the library.”
Wang Xin’s personality was lively to begin with. If she were to be in such a depressing atmosphere, she would drive her crazy sooner or later.
Yuan Xiao thought for a moment and took a screenshot of the message the
counselor had just sent her to Wang Xin.
“Is there something wrong with this counselor? She didn’t apologize and only asked you to move out of the dormitory. Why should we move out?” Wang Xin was indignant.
“It’s impossible for her to apologize. I actually wanted to ask if you were willing to change dormitories,” Yuan Xiao asked.
“I’m willing! I’m 100% willing. If I can change dormitories, I’m even willing to move my things over now.”
Yuan Xiao knew what Wang Xin was thinking and did not reply. In fact, she did not care, but for Wang Xin, this atmosphere was indeed too uncomfortable. Changing dormitories was a matter of benefits over disadvantages..
Chapter 297
In the midst of changing dormitories, Yuan Xiao went to busy herself with the Higher Education Cup Mathematical Modeling Competition.
She only found out about this competition when Teacher Dai unintentionally mentioned it.
The counselor should have conveyed it to the students, but for some reason, there was no message in their group at all.
If Teacher Dai had not mentioned it, Yuan Xiao would not have known about this.
[Ding! System upgrade successful. Feeling the host’s strong will, Little 7 will no longer obtain the host’s thoughts on its own in the future.]
Yuan Xiao’s hand paused. She did not expect time to pass so quickly. The system had already successfully upgraded.
What changes had happened after the successful upgrade?
She subconsciously asked Little 7 in her heart, but she did not receive a reply
for a long time. Only then did she realize that Little 7 would not obtain the host’s thoughts on its own.
Although there was privacy, it was too inconvenient to communicate. It could not expect her to speak aloud, right?
“Little 7, can you only hear me when I speak in the future?” She had no choice but to lower her voice.
[No, Host. Little 7 can sense your thoughts when you call my name silently in your heart.]
Yuan Xiao nodded in satisfaction. Most of her upgrades were because of her desire for privacy. Now, she had gotten what she wanted.
“Little 7, after this upgrade, can I accept high-level missions?
[Yes, Host. It’s just to make the host more proficient in using it. There will be some special missions to facilitate the host’s successful transition to high-level mode.]
It was really more humane now. Previously, when it was promoted from low-level to high-level, there was no transition. Moreover, Little 7’s tone seemed to have become more humane.
[New points mission has been activated. Host, please participate in the Higher Education Cups Mathematical Modeling Competition. Obtaining first place in the national competition will earn you 800 points. Obtaining second place in the national competition will earn you 500 points. Obtaining third place in the national competition will earn you 300 points.]
Yuan Xiao looked at the high points and was extremely tempted. As expected of a high-level mission. Even the points were higher than intermediate missions.
Following this trend, she would soon be able to advance to the special level. After reaching the special level, she might be able to exchange points for knowledge related to Little 7. At that time, her Al would no longer only exist in terms of concepts, but could really be realized in reality.
Thinking of this, Yuan Xiao was also a little excited. However, the most important thing now was to prepare for the Higher Education Cup’s
Mathematical Modeling Competition. This time, she had competitors from all over the world. In addition, the value of this competition was extremely high. It might not be so easy for her to get first place in the competition.
After Yuan Xiao had a goal, she moved very quickly. She wrote down her initial plan on paper. The first step was to buy a laptop.
It had been a long time since the deadline for the promotional video’s submission, and the results were already out.
The video filmed by Yuan Xiao’s team was the most popular, and it was far ahead of the second.
There was no choice. The four hot-topic characters were all in the same group. Coupled with the popularity of Yuan Xiao’s incident, this video became even more popular.
The comments section was also filled with all kinds of deviations.
[Am I the only one who thinks that the two school hunks are very compatible? So the school hunk doesn’t belong to us. He belongs to the school hunk.]
[Hehe, I think so too.]
The bonus and credits had also successfully landed in the hands of Yuan Xiao and the others.
This bonus was also used to buy a laptop.
It was the weekend.
Yuan Xiao looked at the few messages from Fang Yao and got up helplessly.
Earlier in the week, Fang Yao had already planned for the weekend.
However, it was clearly an afternoon movie, but Fang Yao had already arrived at the dormitory building at eight o’clock.
Yuan Xiao, who had planned to sleep a little longer, could only wash up and go downstairs. However, she was holding a computer bag.
Fang Yao pulled Yuan Xiao into his arms and noticed the laptop bag in her hand. “Xiao Xiao, did you buy a new computer?”
“Yes, I’m participating in Mathematical Modeling Competition. It’ll be useful.” Yuan Xiao looked at Fang Yao, who had taken the computer bag over, and did not refuse. The computer was indeed a little heavy.
“Then lees go eat now.” Fang Yao had already planned it. Usually, he could not accompany Xiao Xiao during class, so he had to stick to Xiao Xiao for the next two days!
“Alright, let’s go to the library after eating. I brought you a few sets of exam papers.” Yuan Xiao pointed at the computer bag in Fang Yao’s hand..
Chapter 298
Fang Yao was originally happily holding Yuan Xiao’s bag, but his expression instantly froze and his pupils dilated slightly. “We’re out on a date today, right?”
Yuan Xiao nodded and said matter-of-factly, “Isn’t it in the afternoon? Anyway, there’s still a long time before the movie begins. Why don’t you do a few sets of papers? You still have an agreement with your brother. You can’t slack off.’
Fang Yao suddenly regretted coming to look for Yuan Xiao so early. “The agreement is due in two years. There’s no need to be in such a hurry.”
“You still have to prepare for the huge national examination for three years. No matter what, since you’ve made up your mind, it’s best not to slack off.” Yuan Xiao’s tone was serious.
Seeing that there was no room for negotiation, Fang Yao could only resign himself to fate and head for the library, laptop in hand.
However, after doing it for a while, he could not help but look at Yuan Xiao’s computer screen. “What are you doing?”
“I want to participate in the Higher Education Cup’s Mathematical Modeling
Competition. I’m familiarizing myself with the software in advance.” Yuan Xiao stared at the screen in front of her seriously and took the time to answer Fang Yao’s question.
Fang Yao supported his chin with one hand, his eyes burning. “Why don’t you ask seniors?”
Yuan Xiao finally diverted her attention from the computer and sized Fang Yao up. Her gaze landed on the paper that he had only done a few questions on. The corners of her lips curled up slightly. “You should finish your paper first before talking about teaching me, Senior Fang.”
Fang Yao blushed and subconsciously reached out to cover the paper.
Unfortunately, answers had already been penned down. It was useless to cover it.
He could only let go, but he was still a little unconvinced, so he said, “Just because I don’t know how to do the test paper doesn’t mean I don’t know the software. You’re using Python, right?”
Yuan Xiao nodded, still indifferent. After all, knowing the software did not mean that he was proficient in it.
Seeing that he was still ignored, Fang Yao reached out and pinched Yuan Xiao’s chin. His tone was a little aggrieved. “We clearly agreed that today was our date.”
Yuan Xiao stopped what she was doing. If Fang Yao was going to force her, she could be indifferent, but what he was using were soft tactics.
She could only let go. “Be good. This competition is quite important. I’ll go on a date after I’m done. I’ve calculated the time. After you finish these papers, I’ll be almost done with what I’m doing. When the time comes, we can even go to the nearby cafeteria for lunch.”
Even though Yuan Xiao had already said that, Fang Yao was still dissatisfied.
“Then you have to give me some remuneration.”
“What do you want?” Yuan Xiao compromised.
Fang Yao’s lips curled into a wicked smile. He leaned against Yuan Xiao’s neck and his hot breath sprayed on the tip of her ear. “Kiss, kiss.”
It was clearly just two simple words, but he insisted on saying them word by word, causing Yuan Xiao’s face to turn red. She only felt that the place on her neck was very uncomfortable and it was itchy to the point of panic.
“There are too many people here. Can we wait until the end?” Yuan Xiao said in a negotiating tone. She sized up the students who were studying around her and was still embarrassed to kiss in such an environment.
“But I can’t take it anymore.” Fang Yao’s tone was restrained. In the next second, he hugged the back of Yuan Xiao’s head and leaned on her.
Fortunately, it was just a light touch.
However, even so, Yuan Xiao’s face was still burning red. She subconsciously raised her head and looked around. Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, she heaved a sigh of relief and could not help but glare at Fang Yao. Fang Yao, who was glared at, did not feel anything. Instead, he bared his teeth at Yuan Xiao.
Yuan Xiao pretended not to see it and continued to immerse herself in the software.
As the major she had learned was not related to this software, everything she knew relied on self-study. Although there was still enough time, the process was very cumbersome. She still needed to find someone to team up with to choose questions and so on.
Moreover, because this competition was extremely valuable, she had to use all her energy to prepare.
Seeing that Yuan Xiao was already immersed in the software, Fang Yao stopped teasing her and started doing the few sets of papers in his hand.
The contents of the paper should be in line with the major he had learned and the knowledge he had mastered first. The difficulty level was slightly higher. It seemed that Yuan Xiao was really diligent in finding the paper for him.
Thinking of this, Fang Yao’s heart skipped a beat. He raised his hand to touch the corner of his mouth, and his heart suddenly sped up. What should he do? He was getting swooned again..
Chapter 299
Soon, it was almost noon, and Yuan Xiao had already completed the mission in her hand. She naturally picked up the test paper in Fang Yao’s hand and started to browse.
Fang Yao put down his pen. He had just finished writing.
He exhaled again and supported his cheek with one hand as he looked at Yuan Xiao. “This is all second-year knowledge. Do you know it? Do you need me to teach you?”
“I found the paper. I have the answer in my hand.” Yuan Xiao looked at him as if he was an idiot.
“Tsk, aren’t you giving your boyfriend a chance to perform?” Fang Yao leaned over and looked at his test paper. “How is it? The accuracy is quite high, right? Don’t worry, I don’t only know how to date. I haven’t fallen behind in my studies at all.”
Yuan Xiao did not mark it seriously. Instead, she roughly looked at it. The accuracy was indeed quite high. It seemed that Fang Yao was not as lazy as she had imagined.
“Not bad. Let’s go eat.” Yuan Xiao put away the test paper.
Fang Yao grabbed her wrist, his eyes filled with anticipation. “I did so well. Isn’t there a reward?”
For some reason, Yuan Xiao thought of the kiss just now. Her face turned slightly red as she bit her lip. “There are so many people here.”
“So what? You’re my girlfriend. Don’t tell me I don’t have the right to kiss you anymore? They can watch.” Fang Yao was not ashamed at all. Instead, he leaned closer.
Yuan Xiao was helpless when she saw her like this. She could only lean over and give a light kiss.
Sensing Yuan Xiao’s initiative, Fang Yao was overjoyed. Along the way, the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up.
This was the first time the two of them had a meal alone since university. During the meal, Fang Yao could not stop being solicitous.
“Every time I go out to eat, there are many people. I don’t have a chance to perform at all.” Fang Yao complained.
Yuan Xiao ignored him. Even when many people went out to eat previously, Fang Yao did not lack performance. It was obvious that he wanted to take the opportunity to ask for compensation.
After dinner, the two of them went to the cinema. They were watching a thriller.
However, the movie was not too mindful of details. Yuan Xiao complained about the mathematical technicalities in it, but fortunately, it was filmed quite well.
It was still early when the two of them left the cinema, so they planned to shop in the mall.
Fang Yao wag also thinking about what to give Yuan Xiao later- He did not seem to have given her a more formal gift. Would it be a little abrupt to give her a ring directly?
Then why not give her a bracelet or a watch or a necklace?
As he was thinking, he did not realize that the person beside him had already stopped.
When he turned around to hold her hand, he realized that it was already empty beside him. He turned around and saw that there seemed to be a competition not far away.
Only then did he run back to Yuan Xiao’s side. “Could it be that some ongoing mathematics competition is keeping you rooted to the ground?”
After saying that, he naturally held Yuan Xiao’s hand and said righteously, “It’s too easy to lose it like that just now. No, I have to hold your hand to prevent any accidents.”
Yuan Xiao looked at her hand that was being held and did not have much of a reaction. It was not like they had not held hands before. Moreover, the two of them had already kissed.
Fang Yao felt the delicateness in his hand and could not bear to part with it. He gently stroked it again and again, his face filled with satisfaction.
At this moment, Yuan Xiao was staring fixedly at the child in front of her. The child was holding a very large Rubik’s cube in his hand, and beside it was a timer.
After the child pressed something that looked like a bell, the timer began to count down. He kept turning the Rubik’s Cube in his hand.
She found it interesting.
At this moment, a young man walked over and stuffed the Cube in Yuan Xiao’s hand. “Miss, I see that you’re very interested. Why don’t you give it a try?”
When Fang Yao heard the boy’s voice, he immediately turned around warily and stared at the young man with a warning gaze.
Only then did the young man realize that there was a man beside this beautiful lady. He revealed a regretful expression, but he quickly adjusted himself. “He’s your boyfriend, right? The two of you are really compatible..”
Chapter 300
The vigilance on Fang Yao’s face finally subsided, but he still pulled her towards him. “Thank you.”
The young man did not mind. He took out a Rubik’s Cube from the side and handed it to Fang Yao. “I’m a staff member here. If you’re interested, you can go up and try. There are small prizes for the first place.”
Seeing that the young man’s attitude was so good, Fang Yao could not say anything. He took the Cube. He had played with this kind of thing before and vaguely remembered the Cube’s formula. Just as he was about to perform in front of Yuan Xiao, he saw that she had already restored the Cube.
“Xiao Xiao, so you’ve played the Cube too,” Fang Yao said.
“No.” Yuan Xiao waved her cell phone. “I searched the Cube formula online just now.”
The young man beside her also heard their conversation and could not believe it. “Miss, is this your first time touching the Cube?”
Less than a minute after he handed it over, she had already solved it. How was this possible?
“It’s my first time.” Yuan Xiao messed up the Cube in her hand again and solved it.
During the process, the technique was obviously different from her first time.
Through the formula she had just seen, she deduced many other ways of solving it in her heart. This Cube was quite interesting. It was not bad to relieve boredom.
“It seems that Miss has some talent in the Cube. You’re playing with the most common Cube. The Cube actually has other levels. The lowest is Level 2.” As the young man spoke, he took out several Cubes from the side. There were smaller ones and large ones.
“The larger the Cube, the more difficult it is.” The young man put down the small Cube in his hand and took back the largest Cube. “This Cube is a 21-a-side Cube. The current world record is five and a half hours.’
Yuan Xiao’s gaze landed on the large Rubik’s cube in the young man’s hand, and her interest was piqued.
Fang Yao looked at her staring at the young man and felt a little jealous. He hugged Yuan Xiao’s waist, wanting to declare his sovereignty. “Xiao Xiao, I’ll teach you when we get back.”
Only then did Yuan Xiao realize that she had indeed stared at the young man for too long. She pinched Fang Yao in amusement. “Do you want a prize?”
[Ding! Sensing the host’s will, an intermediate mission has been triggered. You have broken the record of the third-stage Rubik’s Cube in this competition and obtained 100 points.]
“Little 7, can the current mission still be triggered according to my thoughts?” This sudden system voice shocked Yuan Xiao. She thought that if it was not triggered at the beginning, it would not be triggered later.
She only wanted to participate in the competition because she was very interested in the Cube. She did not expect the system to sense her wishes and trigger an intermediate mission.
However, it seemed that when the system reached Advanced Mode, not all high-level missions would appear. Occasionally, intermediate missions would appear.
[That’s right, Host. The system is becoming more and more intelligent. Not only is it issuing missions according to the system’s thoughts, but it will also occasionally issue missions according to the host’s wishes. However, don’t worry, Host. It’s not prying into your psychological privacy. It’s just detected according to the data.]
Yuan Xiao nodded. It was not strange for the system to feel that she had made it so obvious. However, it just so happened that she wanted to participate as well. It was killing two birds with one stone.
Fang Yao looked at the young man. “If we break your record, what’s the reward?”
He noticed Yuan Xiao’s interest and did not want to dampen her spirits.
However, since he was participating, he naturally had to go for the greatest.
The young man clearly did not expect the two of them to be so ambitious. He said excitedly, “Currently, the fastest time is 4.87 seconds. No one has broken it yet, but if you break it, we will give you a 21-a-side Rubik’s Cube.” Fang Yao snorted. “We can buy the 21-step Rubik’s Cube ourselves.”
The young man’s lips curled up slightly as he continued, “It’s pure gold.”
Fang Yao fell silent. He looked at Yuan Xiao. “Do you like it?”
However, very few girls would like gold. After all, it was a little tacky.
He was also prepared for Yuan Xiao to lose interest, but he did not expect Yuan
Xiao’s eyes to light up. “I like it a lot.”
Gold was equivalent to money, and money was Yuan Xiao’s favorite thing. Therefore, it was equivalent to Yuan Xiao liking gold. How could she not like this prize?
It seemed that this was not a small competition organized by some merchant. It was probably organized by this huge mall. Otherwise, it would not be so generous..
