Liang Gan liked Xiang Huai.
When she participated in the competition back then, Xiang Huai was 13 years old. She was 15 years old and was the other youngest one in the team. However, in the end, Xiang Huai won first place while she came in second.
She liked this cool and handsome lad back then.
After so many years, there were also people who’d introduced her to a boyfriend. However, when she thought about how that person was already peerless at the age of 13, Liang Gan felt a little indignant.
She thought that she would never see Xiang Huai again in her life, but she did not expect to meet him today.
He was even more handsome, cool, and stylish than before. Moreover, he actually had a girlfriend who was even a non-mainstream person with red hair.
However, she felt that there was no problem with that. She was just a girlfriend and not a wife. Moreover, even if she was a wife, she had to fight for what she needed to fight for!
In her view of love, there was no ethics!
Hence, she needed a phone number first.
However, although she had thought it through, she did not expect Xiang Huai to still be the same as he was many years ago and ignore her. “Sorry, I don’t have a phone.”
Liang Gan: “?”
Then what is the phone in your hand? Are you trying to brush me off with excuses?
She felt as though she was holding her breath. When she looked at Xue Xi again, she thought that the child would kick up a fuss given that she had purposely said she was an old classmate and was given her spot at university by Xiang Huai.
However, Xue Xi did not react at all and did not play according to her plan!
Liang Gan stood on the spot for a while. She saw that Xiang Huai had already walked past her and sat beside Xue Xi. He then took out a string of fried buns and passed them to her.
Xue Xi took a bite and nodded. “Where did you buy it?”
She thought barbecue like this only existed in their country.
Xiang Huai smiled. “There’s a Chinatown nearby. It’s filled with Chinese people.”
Xue Xi suddenly understood.
Both of them ignored her.
Liang Gan stood on the spot for a while and felt her face turn red and green. In the end, she smiled and said, “Then, I’ll leave first.”
Still, no one bothered with her and she could only leave angrily.
After he left, Xue Xi shot a glance at Xiang Huai. After taking a bite of the fried bun, she said calmly, “Old classmate?”
Xiang Huai: “?”
Just as he was about to speak, Xue Xi said, “That’s quite old.”
Xiang Huai: “…”
After having supper, Xiang Huai was just about to say something to Xue Xi when she entered the bedroom to read her book. When Xiang Huai was about to speak again, Xue Xi said, “I’m going to sleep. I’ll rest on time so that I won’t appear old.”
Old again…
Xiang Huai: “…”
…
…
Xue Xi could not tell what she was feeling. She only felt that Liang Gan had seen Xiang Huai when he was 13 years old, but she did not see him. When she thought of this, she felt a little unhappy.
She did not understand why she was unhappy, nor did she understand why she, who had always been quiet, could not help but mention the word “old.”
Since she could not figure it out, she stopped thinking and went to sleep.
She had jet lag today and had had to go through so much. She was indeed very tired, so when she closed her eyes, she fell asleep.
She slept until dawn.
Xue Xi opened her eyes and stretched before getting up to wash up. When she was done washing up, she picked up her phone to look at today’s schedule.
Unexpectedly, in the Math Olympiad group’s WeChat group, the accompanying teacher actually sent a message: “Gather downstairs at 10 AM. Ms. Liang is here to impart some examination experience to everyone.”
Liang Gan… Old classmate!
Xue Xi did not go out and ordered breakfast. After eating in the hotel, she went downstairs.
It was unsuitable for Xiang Huai to appear at their Math Olympiad class gathering, so Xue Xi did not let him go downstairs.
Liang Gan sat beside her. She was still dressed like a successful woman and was very fashionable. Wearing makeup, she sat on the sofa on the first floor.
When everyone was present, she shot a glance at Xue Xi and said in a high and mighty manner, “I know that you guys are the best in the country, but back then, when Xiang Huai and I participated in the IMO, he was 13 while I was 15. After that, he scored full marks in the IMO and I also obtained a good result that was close to full marks. After that, Scanford University decided to make an exception for one of us and Xiang Huai gave me the spot.”
Li Xuekai, Xie Yingying, and the rest could not help but gasp.
If they could represent the country to participate in the IMO, they were definitely the best in the country’s mathematics world. However, they did not expect that there was someone even better!
At least, Liang Gan’s resume looked much better than theirs.
Xie Yingying was a simple-minded person. Her mind was on the Math Olympiad and she was a straightforward person. Yesterday, she felt that Liang Gan was not good, but today, she was conquered by her academic qualifications. She sighed and said, “Wow, so impressive. We were only accepted by Huaxia University. I didn’t expect you to be accepted by Scanford at the age of 15!”
Liang Gan smiled. “What’s wrong with that? My mentor is nearby. She came to participate in an academic exchange. If there’s a chance, I can introduce you to her. Even if you can’t apply for an undergraduate degree, you can still apply as a graduate student.”
When they heard that, Li Xuekai and Xie Yingying’s eyes lit up!
If they could meet the professor and get to know her, they would indeed have a slight advantage when applying to be a graduate student to their school.
Liang Gan was actually willing to introduce them. She was simply too amazing!
After that, Liang Gan said a few more things to take note of during the examination and said, “Alright, before the examination, everyone can go to the library next door to study. My mentor, Jennifer, also happens to have a seminar. I’ll go greet her.”
“Okay!”
A group of people surrounded Liang Gan and walked toward the library.
Liang Gan purposely found an opportunity and walked to Xue Xi’s side. She suddenly smiled and said, “Leave Xiang Huai. I’ll introduce you to someone and have you enter Scanford. How about it?”
…
At the same time.
In the library, an old professor was chiding Jennifer. “Did you see that? The one who solved the question for me was a Chinese girl! She’d dyed her hair a vivid and bright red! Oh, this red hair suits her too well. She’s like a flame, giving us hope on our research path. Jennifer, I need you to help me find this person, understand?”
Jennifer instantly nodded. “Dean, don’t worry. I’ll definitely help you! My student, Liang Gan, is Chinese, and she’s nearby. I’ll go meet her first. Perhaps there will be some clues.”
That’s right. This old man was the dean of the Chemistry Department at Scanford University—Thor. He had brought along many excellent teachers with him. Jennifer was his subordinate and his student.
However, Thor did not trust Jennifer, so he once again called someone else. “Nicholas, we saw the video, but we still need your help to find this Goddess of Wisdom.”
“…”
