Li Xuekai had a good image and was handsome. He was voted last year as the school hunk, so he was rather famous and had more than 100,000 followers on Weibo.
After this comment, someone exposed Li Xuekai’s family background: Li Xuekai was actually the eldest grandson of the Li family in Haicheng!
This topic then trended: #If you don’t study well, you’ll have to go home and inherit the billion-dollar family assets.
The thread listed the powers of the Li and Xue families. In the end, the conclusion was that the Li family was more powerful than the Xue family. Even if it was through the back door, it should have been Li Xuekai who got accepted, not Xue Xi!
The netizens were led astray and had their attention diverted. For a moment, they were all spamming: “Someone who is richer than you is working harder than you. Are lesser mortals still allowed to live in this world?”
On the forum, the fans who were shipping the couple from the two different schools heard the news and joined in on the discussion. The comment section under Li Xuekai’s Weibo was instantly swarmed.
“Ah ah ah ah ah, I’m dead! Mom, I really got hit!”
“Is Li Xuekai explaining for Xue Xi’s sake? I’m all for this couple!”
“Wuwuwu, it’s really so sweet! My Brother Kai hasn’t logged in to this Weibo account for more than half a year. The first time he came on was for Xue Xi, and he even managed to twist the rhythm and suppress the popularity of Huaxia University’s controversy! You have such taste, such a fine taste!”
Xiang Huai sat in the provision store and slid down slowly, his face turning darker and darker. Beside him, Lu Chao felt that the room was getting filled with envy and jealousy.
He gulped and could not help but say, “B-Boss, actually, Li Xuekai is helping to suppress the heat~”
Boss, just let the poor child off!
However, the moment he said this, he heard Xiang Huai ask coldly, “Did I need him to suppress it when I’m right here?”
Lu Chao: “…”
Li Xuekai, you should pray for yourself!
However, this matter could only be blamed on him. He realized it too late. After all, they were very busy every day, so how could they have the time to play on Weibo?
Lu Chao asked, “What should we do about this…?”
Xiang Huai: “There’s no need to delete the post.”
The little kid’s proof of Bartra’s conjecture would be reported sooner or later. By then, it would shock everyone and there would no longer be suspicions that there was special treatment.
However, he could not allow the kid to be bashed. It was indeed a good idea to suppress the topic’s popularity.
“He wants to suppress such a small matter?” Xiang Huai knocked on the table. “There’s also an even more shocking topic that will attract everyone’s attention.”
Lu Chao: “…”
An even more shocking topic—he felt that someone was going to be unlucky!
…
…
Xue Xi was called to Old Liu’s office just so he could comfort her.
Old Liu’s heart was broken. He was afraid that she would be affected by this matter, so he tried his best to persuade her for 15 minutes. Only then did he pick up a large cup beside him and gulp down a few mouthfuls of water.
Xue Xi could finally speak now. “Mr. Liu, what exactly do you want to say?”
Old Liu put down the glass and comforted her. “It’s this, Xue Xi. Don’t be sad or waste your time on Weibo. Other people’s words are nothing.”
Xue Xi: “…What did others say?”
Old Liu was stunned. “Huh? You… didn’t read the posts on Weibo?”
Xue Xi stood there expressionlessly. On her exquisite face, her misty eyes were filled with confusion. “…No. It’s a waste of time.”
The corners of Old Liu’s mouth twitched as a helpless expression appeared on his dark face.
So, did his saliva just go to waste?
However, seeing that Xue Xi was fine, he was relieved. He waved his hand and said, “Alright, you can go back.”
Xue Xi nodded.
When she returned to the classroom, she realized that the students in the class were no longer discussing her matters. Everyone was holding their phones and was gathered together, discussing something fervently.
Puzzled, she returned to her seat and saw the talkative Qin Shuang turn around to look at her. “Sister Xi, I am heartbroken!”
Xue Xi was slightly taken aback and instantly felt a little helpless.
She was usually slow to react and had always been vague about matters of the heart. The last thing she knew was to comfort and cajole others. Now, looking at Qin Shuang…
She slowly asked, “Did the other party cheat?”
Qin Shuang was taken aback.
Xue Xi slowly asked, “Why don’t I beat him up?”
Qin Shuang was stunned. After ten seconds, she suddenly burst out laughing. “Sister Xi, why are you so cute!”
After saying that, she picked up her phone and showed it to Xue Xi. “My husband has a girlfriend!”
Xue Xi took a glance and realized that the interface that the chatterbox was looking at was: “Best Actor Cen Bai spent money to buy a bag for his mysterious girlfriend!”
Cen Bai. Why does this name sound so familiar?
Just as she was thinking about whether she had seen him somewhere before, she heard Qin Shuang explain to her, “I’m Xiao Bai’s girlfriend-fan and he is my boyfriend. Now that he has a girlfriend, sob, I’ve fallen out of love!”
Xue Xi: “…”
Qin Shuang pressed on her chest, feeling a little sad but also a little proud. “But my Xiao Bai is indeed the best. Once this news went out, Weibo was immediately paralyzed! I can’t even enter the trending searches now!”
Xue Xi did not know how to comfort her. Luckily, the bell rang and helped her out.
During class, the phone in her pocket vibrated a few times. However, Xue Xi listened attentively to the teacher and ignored it. When class ended, she picked up her phone and saw someone had sent a message in the Moguls’ Group.
Actor: “Did Sister Xi tell anyone that I bought a bag? @Learning.”
Bought a bag?
Xue Xi paused and suddenly recalled that Actor’s real name seemed to be… Cen Bai?
She replied: “No.”
Cen Bai immediately cursed in the group chat: “I’ve only tried to buy it in this group! Who the hell betrayed me? And the thread can’t be deleted!”
Actor: “Do you guys still have any brotherly love?”
Actor: “Who is it? Stand up! Did you have nothing better to do?”
Teaches Math: “Not me.”
Pianist: “Not me.”
Ji Silin: “Not me.”
The rest: “Not me.”
At this moment, a message popped up.
Omnipotent Boss: “It’s me.”
The lively group instantly fell silent. After two minutes, a message popped up. It was clearly just a message, but Xue Xi could see the expression on it.
Actor (Lackey): “Brother, so it’s you, you little cutie! I was just worrying about buying such an expensive bag and having nowhere to show it off, but you’ve already made it appear on the trending searches! You’re amazing!”
Omnipotent Boss (Calm): “You’re welcome.”
Actor (Almost crying): “But Brother, you are mistaken. I bought the bag for my mother. If I hadn’t given her this bag, she would have forced me to go on a blind date. Can I go on Weibo to explain?”
Omnipotent Boss: “No.”
Actor: “Alright, I suddenly feel that I do have a mysterious girlfriend. She is so mysterious that I have never even seen her before!”
In the provision store.
Xiang Huai put down his phone and his dark brown eyes darkened. He ordered Lu Chao, “Contact the mathematics journal and get them to speed it up. Three days from now, I want to see the little kid’s name in the latest issue!”
“Yes!”
