Xue Xi extended her hand and felt a little uneasy.
After all, she had rejected this man several times in the beginning. If she suddenly asked for his WeChat, would he not give it to her?
Xue Xi clearly thought too much.
Xiang Huai had already taken out his phone. After unlocking it, he opened WeChat and pressed something on his phone before passing her a QR code.
Xue Xi scanned it and realized that it was a black profile picture.
His WeChat ID was simple: X.
X was the same name as the hacker Xue Xi had met back then, so she had even suspected that it was him. However, after thinking about it, she realized that the name she had casually chosen was also X.
Other people’s first names might also start with X. There were so many people whose names started with X, so it could not be him.
Xue Xi added him as a friend. After he accepted, she looked at the profile picture on WeChat.
Xiang Huai’s profile picture was actually quite similar to that of her teacher, Omnipotent Boss, but there were many people who used all black as a profile or had white hair, so she did not think much of it.
After adding it successfully, Xue Xi became worried about the saved note. After thinking for a long time, she lifted her head and silently looked at Xiang Huai. Thinking of the scene when they first met, the saved note became: Gigolo.
She had a mischievous look in her eyes as she placed her phone in her pocket. She looked like a child who had done something bad and was a little smug.
Xiang Huai narrowed his eyes.
Fortunately, he had two WeChat accounts. One was for work and the other was private.
The WeChat account where he wanted to add Xue Xi back then was private, and the work account was “Do Not Disturb” in the Moguls’ Group.
It was not that Xiang Huai was afraid of losing his horse, but the account “Omnipotent Boss” was both a teacher and a friend of Xue Xi’s. Moreover, the little kid had even complained to Omnipotent Boss about her boyfriend. If she knew the truth, the little kid would probably be so ashamed that she would ignore him.
Although Xue Xi was a straightforward person, Xiang Huai knew that she was more easily embarrassed than ordinary girls.
Hence, if he could hide it from her, he would hide it for now. It could also be considered a little romance between the two of them.
After adding each other as friends, they walked out together.
Xiang Huai appeared a little lazy as he asked lazily, “What do you want to eat?”
Xue Xi: “Let’s go to the canteen. I have an appointment.”
Xiang Huai raised an eyebrow. “With whom? A man or a woman?”
Xue Xi: “…Man.”
The person from the club used a voice-changer to answer the call, but the original voice should be that of a boy, and it must be that of the short boy who gave her the flyer.
Xiang Huai sighed. “Fortunately, I’m here. Otherwise, I’d be jealous if the little kid asked another boy out for a meal behind my back.”
Xue Xi: “?”
She hurriedly explained, “No, it’s that club. I called them for a meeting.”
Xiang Huai burst out laughing. “I was just teasing you and you took it seriously. Then let’s go and see what that club is up to.”
This was also Xiang Huai’s motive for coming today.
The two of them walked in front while Li Zixia and Xie Yingying followed behind them. The four of them entered the canteen together.
Xue Xi looked around the canteen and finally fixed her gaze on the short boy in the corner. He was still wearing his jeans and a baseball cap, making it impossible to see his face clearly.
In order to confirm that it was not him, Xue Xi sent the other party a message: “I’m here.”
The person took a look at his phone and immediately looked up at the door. When he saw Xue Xi, his eyes lit up and he grinned, revealing a row of white teeth. He seemed very happy.
Just as he was about to wave in greeting, he suddenly saw someone beside her. He paused, narrowed his eyes, and retracted his hand.
He then stood up. He was petite and nimble. All of a sudden, he scurried toward another entrance of the canteen. Before they could react, he had already escaped the canteen and disappeared into the crowd.
Xue Xi: “?”
After another ten seconds, she received a message from the other party: “President, I have something on at the last minute today. I’ll leave first. Also, President, I’ve been told that the man beside you can’t know of our existence.”
Xue Xi was stunned when she saw this message.
The man beside her was Xiang Huai!
When she sent the message, Xiang Huai never looked at it. Hence, Xue Xi replied with relief, “Why? Is there a problem with him?”
The other party: “No problem, but President, you don’t have to worry. We don’t have any ill intentions toward you. We just want to invite you to join the club. As for the details, we’ll talk about it later. Lastly, a warm reminder: Take note of this man beside you. He definitely has ill intentions toward you.”
Ill intentions…
Xue Xi’s heart skipped a beat as she turned to look at Xiang Huai.
At this moment, the students had just finished their classes and there were many students who came to eat. They stood at the entrance and there was an endless stream of people around them. When they walked past her, they happened to block the light shining in from the glass beside them, creating a mottled light.
Xue Xi felt as though she had been struck by lightning.
It was only then that she suddenly realized that her hostility toward Xiang Huai had unknowingly disappeared.
She remembered that when she first said that she would die if she did not fall in love, she had always been wary of Xiang Huai.
After all, she was suddenly cursed for no reason and was closely related to this man. Xiang Huai had even said that although it was not him who did it, it was indeed related to him.
At that time, she had guessed that Xiang Huai’s motive for getting close to her or forcing her to date him was…
What does he want from me?
However, he did not say anything, so she did not ask further.
She even slowly let down her guard and unknowingly started to rely on this man. She trusted him wholeheartedly and never raised any doubts. It was only when she had completely accepted him and was nervous about him, afraid that he would be snatched away by other girls, that she added him on WeChat.
If not for the reminder on her phone, Xue Xi would not have remembered how she came to know him!
Her face gradually turned pale until she heard a voice. “Little kid?”
Xue Xi returned to her senses.
She stared at Xiang Huai and asked, “What exactly will happen to a person cursed to die if she doesn’t fall in love?”
