Xue Xi was stunned.
She turned around and saw that it was Ji Silin.
He rubbed his eyes and smiled warmly.
Xue Xi’s eyes lit up and she shouted, “Brother Silin.”
Ji Silin nodded and looked at the boy.
The boy was stunned. His gaze shifted between Xue Xi and Ji Silin before he helplessly swiped his card.
Ji Silin took back his card and looked at the three. “I’ll treat you guys to drinks.”
Li Zixia and Xie Yingying looked at each other and said in unison, “Thank you, Brother Silin!”
Ji Silin then turned to look at Xue Xi. “Are you free? Weren’t you going to treat me to a meal?”
Xue Xi: “…”
Actually, she wanted to go back and read, but she kept saying that she wanted to treat Ji Silin to a meal. However, she hadn’t yet managed to, so Xue Xi was too embarrassed to reject him and said, “Okay.”
She glanced at Xie Yingying and Li Zixia.
The two of them looked at each other and did not leave tactfully. Instead, they said, “Sister Xi, let us accompany you!”
Xue Xi: “…Oh.”
Hence, the three girls sat opposite Ji Silin and watched him eat.
Ji Silin shot a glance at the three people opposite him and lowered his head helplessly. He ate slowly and did not feel awkward at all.
Li Zixia and Xie Yingying seemed to be chatting on their phones, but they were actually pricking up their ears.
The two of them were chatting on WeChat at the same time.
Li Zixia: “Who is this Brother Silin? Sister Xi doesn’t seem to reject him at all!”
Xie Yingying: “Could Sister Xi be two-timing? Wuwu, Sister Xi has always been an idol in my heart, but if she really did such a thing, what should I do?”
Li Zixia: “I feel that there’s another piece of grassland on Instructor Xiang’s head. That He Gao thing is very strange!”
Xie Yingying: “No, Sister Xi can’t be a jerk. We’ll help Instructor Xiang look after Sister Xi.”
Li Zixia: “No problem.”
After they were done chatting, they looked up at Ji Silin.
Ji Silin was still eating slowly and elegantly. Xue Xi rested her chin on her hand as though she was thinking about something. Both of them did not speak, but they got along very well.
When Ji Silin was done eating, he took out a tissue to wipe his mouth and said, “Alright, I know you’re in a hurry to go back and study. Let’s go!”
Xue Xi stood up excitedly.
The three of them walked back.
On the way, Xue Xi looked at the drink in her hand and passed it to Ji Silin. “Brother Silin, I remember that you love milk the most. This is for you!”
Ji Silin: “…”
He helplessly took the drink.
Soon, Ji Silin sent the three girls to the dormitory door. Li Zixia and Xie Yingying looked at each other and passed their drinks to Ji Silin in unison.
“Sorry, I’m allergic to milk. I can’t drink it!”
“I’m on a diet and I can’t drink this. Keep it for yourself!”
They were Instructor Xiang’s loyal supporters and definitely could not be bewitched by Dr. Ji’s face! Especially when he smiled, there seemed to be a mole under his eye that was exceptionally charming.
No, no.
They could not take another look. If they took another look, they felt that they would fall for it.
Ji Silin did not feel embarrassed and said, “Alright, I’ll take all three bottles.”
He was magnanimous and did not force them. With three bottles of drinks in hand, he turned around and walked away. From behind, this person looked tall and straight, giving off a feeling of elegance.
Li Zixia and Xie Yingying felt that they had gone overboard.
The two of them looked at Xue Xi and heaved a sigh of relief when they saw that she was not angry.
Although Li Zixia was no longer staying in the school, she heard that Xue Xi and Xie Yingying had changed dormitories and insisted on coming to take a look before leaving. Hence, the three of them headed to the dormitory.
Just as she entered the dormitory, she saw the four girls in the other two bedrooms chatting in the living room. When they saw Xue Xi, everyone greeted each other and one of the four said, “Xue Xi, Xie Yingying, let’s talk about the person who jumped from your class! Have you guys heard?”
The three of them looked at each other and shook their heads.
That person said, “I heard that that person took drugs before she jumped off a building, but we heard that she’s a poor student. Where did she get the money to buy drugs? Hence, everyone is guessing. Do you think that she has been hypnotized?”
“I saw a guess on the internet. They said that Liu Jia’s family found a psychologist and gave Liu Zhao a hypnotic suggestion…”
Someone retorted, “Stop spouting nonsense. Anyway, I don’t believe in such evil things. If a hypnotic suggestion can be so powerful, then there won’t be any murderers! Whoever wants to kill someone, can’t they just look for a psychiatrist?”
The few of them chatted and laughed and quickly changed the topic.
Xue Xi did not notice it at first, but that night, she had a dream.
In her dream, she returned to when she was 15 years old. At that time, there was a child in the orphanage who led the way to isolate her. Xue Xi could not be bothered to argue with them and felt that they were childish. Then Ji Silin, who had come to the orphanage, saw them one day.
Brother Silin said, “Xixi, don’t worry. Those who bully you will disappear from this world.”
She did not care at that time, but a few days later, that orphan was adopted and taken away, disappearing from her life.
Initially, it was fine to dream about this.
However, for some unknown reason, Xue Xi suddenly saw Ji Silin in her dream again. His gold-framed glasses were shining coldly. He rubbed his eyes and slowly said, “Xixi, did Liu Zhao bully you?”
“…”
Xue Xi suddenly woke up.
She panted heavily and heaved a sigh of relief when she realized that it was a dream. She then picked up her phone and realized that it was already 5:30 AM.
She usually woke up at 6:30 AM to read, but now, she simply woke up.
After washing up, she returned to her room. She suddenly thought of something and opened her computer to check Liu Zhao’s medical history.
Most of the hospitals nowadays were connected to the internet. There were records of all kinds of medical systems.
When she was investigating Liu Zhao’s death, she had never checked this because Liu Zhao looked very healthy. However, when she clicked on it this time, she realized that Liu Zhao had actually secretly seen a psychiatrist once.
Xue Xi’s heart skipped a beat. She turned to look at the doctor-in-charge and heaved a sigh of relief when she saw the name.
Her attending doctor was called Terry.
It was not Ji Silin.
Xue Xi took a deep breath and felt that she was thinking too much. She patted her head. How could she suspect Brother Silin?!
After Xie Yingying woke up, the two of them went to the canteen for breakfast before heading to the activity room. They were going to have a rehearsal today to prepare to receive Lin Jing.
On the way, Xue Xi received Lin Jing’s WeChat message: “Xixi, I’m going to Huaxia University. Bring your dormitory mate to play with me!”
