Chapter 563: A Slap in the Face!
No need for her?
Gu Yunqing snorted when she heard this.
It turned out that Xue Xi also knew that Gu Yunqing had caused trouble here because of her. Xie Yingying had only been implicated because of her.
She sneered. “Since you’re so self-aware, I have no objections if you want to do it alone.”
Xie Yingying misunderstood and was filled with grat.i.tude. “Sister Xi, I know you feel sorry for me, but how can I watch you work alone? Moreover, the wound on your hand has just healed and it hasn’t completely recovered yet. Anyway, she’s punis.h.i.+ng two people. Let me do it…”
Xue Xi: “I don’t need to do it either.”
Xie Yingying was stunned. “Then, who will do the work?”
Xue Xi pointed at Gu Yunqing, her big eyes filled with coldness. She suddenly smiled. “She’ll do it.”
When Gu Yunqing heard this, she raised her eyebrows and flew into a rage. “Xue Xi, your brain must be fried, huh? What right do you have to order me around?”
Just as she was about to flare up, Xue Xi raised her phone and pa.s.sed the things on the screen to her. She said coldly, “This.”
“…”
When she saw what was on Xue Xi’s screen, Gu Yunqing widened her eyes in shock.
P4.
She looked at Xue Xi in disbelief. She was so arrogant just before, but now, she was so shocked!
Xue Xi was actually a P4!
How… How was this possible?!
Yesterday, when Jing Fei told her that the special department’s ranking was strict, she had researched how to level up. Only then did she realize that it required 100 marks to go from P1 to P2. Only after solving a major case would she be given an additional 50 marks. The rest would be given based on the dates, getting one mark a month. For example, a civilian staff would have to work for 8 years before they could reach P2.
Hence, in the entire department, most of the ordinary people were P1. The members of P2 were all middle-aged and could retire.
How could Xue Xi be a P4?
Just as she was in a state of shock, Xue Xi retracted her phone and lowered her voice as she slowly said, “According to the special department’s rules, everything depends on one’s level.”
She lifted her chin slightly and pointed at the things on the ground. “Get to work.”
Gu Yunqing: “!!!!”
She clenched her fists and bit her lip. “I don’t believe you. You…”
“If you don’t believe me, call Little Pigeon to check.”
Gu Yunqing was stunned. “Little Pigeon?”
Xue Xi suddenly understood. “Oh. That’s Jing Fei.”
“…”
She actually called the captain by his name!
The captain was at P9!
However, this familiar att.i.tude made Gu Yunqing quickly understand that she had made a mistake!
Xue Xi and Jing Fei did not get acquainted during this case at all. They clearly knew each other from long ago.
Gu Yunqing bit her lip. “What if I don’t?”
Xue Xi’s expression was indifferent. “Then scram from the special department.”
The two of them spoke very softly and had to avoid the crowd. After saying this, Xue Xi took a step back and distanced herself from Gu Yunqing.
The rest were also stunned. All of them looked at Xue Xi in disbelief. Everyone felt that Sister Xi was indeed Sister Xi. Wasn’t this too stiff?
But why would Gu Yunqing listen to her?
Just as everyone was feeling stunned, they saw Gu Yunqing biting her lip. She seemed to be in a dilemma.
Should she choose to be humiliated while working, or should she choose to be removed from the special department?
No, I can’t have my memories erased.
Gu Yunqing looked up at Xue Xi again. She lowered her eyes and took a deep breath. “Alright, I’ll do it.”
Everyone: “!!”
Everyone felt that they must have slept in a daze or that the way they opened their eyes today was wrong. Otherwise, why would Gu Yunqing, who was targeting Sister Xi just now, suddenly change her tune?
While everyone was feeling stunned, Xue Xi looked at Xie Yingying and asked, “Do you have something on after this?”
Xie Yingying shook her head in a daze.
Xue Xi pointed at Gu Yunqing and said, “Then monitor her.”
Xie Yingying: “…Okay, Sister Xi!”
Xue Xi said meaningfully, “She must do as she herself had requested.”
Xie Yingying’s eyes lit up. “No problem!”
After settling this, Xue Xi returned to the dormitory and finished reading the books she had not finished reading.
At 6 PM sharp, her phone rang. She lowered her head to take a look and realized that it was Xiang Huai. Her brows eased a little as she answered the call. “h.e.l.lo.”
The man chuckled before asking in a low voice, “Little kid, I haven’t seen you these last few days. Do you miss me?”
His laughter was a little magnetic through the phone, making Xue Xi’s eyes soften. She said, “Mhm, I do.”
“Shall we have dinner together? I miss your school’s sweet and sour pork ribs.”
Xue Xi: “Sure.”
“I’m outside your dormitory. Come out.”
Xue Xi’s eyes lit up and she hurriedly hung up. She stood up and was about to put on her shoes and leave, but just as she reached the door, she suddenly stopped and looked down at her own clothes.
She was wearing a gray s.h.i.+rt and a pair of black shorts.
Xue Xi thought about it and turned around to open the wardrobe. There was a denim skirt inside. When Ye Li first helped her put it on, she seemed to have said, “You’re a girl. It’s not good to wear pants every day. You can also wear a skirt occasionally! Especially when you’re on a date with Xiao Xiang.”
Date…
Xue Xi reached out and picked up the skirt.
After changing her clothes, Xue Xi went out and greeted Xie Yingying, asking her to have dinner alone tonight. After all, Li Zixia had already returned home after cla.s.s.
When she found Xie Yingying, they were in the public toilet.
Xie Yingying was speaking. “Are you sure you’ve cleaned it up?”
When Gu Yunqing came, she was basking in glory, but now, she was in a sorry state. Her hair was stuck to her face and her teeth were gritted. “Yes.”
“Why don’t you have a sip?”
Gu Yunqing: “…”
Xie Yingying crossed her arms. “When you asked us to do this, did you ever think about how disgusting it would be?”
Gu Yunqing clenched her jaw and remained silent.
Xie Yingying pouted. When she turned around and saw Xue Xi, her eyes lit up. “Sister Xi, are you going on a date?”
Xue Xi touched her skirt uneasily. “How did you know?”
Xie Yingying said, “This skirt has been hanging since you got it. It’s your first time wearing it today! Is Instructor Xiang picking you up?”
Xue Xi: “…It’s not a date. It’s just a meal.”
Xie Yingying raised an eyebrow. “Alright, I got it. Go ahead. I’ll eat with Sun Mengmeng later!”
…
When Xue Xi walked out of the dormitory, she saw Xiang Huai leaning against the pole beside him and looking at his phone. He was wearing a black s.h.i.+rt and black pants, making him look tall and slender.
The moment she came out, the man looked up and fixed his dark brown eyes on her.
Xue Xi’s heart tightened. She coughed and tried her best to look calm as she walked out. Just as she stood in front of Xiang Huai, the man chuckled. “Very good-looking.”
Xue Xi shot him a glance and explained, “I-I just put it on casually. I didn’t wear it because I’m meeting you!”
“Ha.” The man smiled again. “I didn’t say that the clothes are beautiful. I said that the person wearing it is good-looking.”
Xue Xi: “…”
Xiang Huai was too much. How could he not play according to common sense?!
She pouted and turned to walk in front. Her usually expressionless eyes now had a hint of coquettishness and anger.
Xiang Huai hurriedly followed beside her. “This skirt is especially beautiful and suits you very well.”
Xue Xi looked for trouble. “Are you saying that I don’t look good in other clothes?”
“No.”
Xiang Huai raised an eyebrow. “You look the best without clothes.”
Xue Xi: “!!!!”
She instantly looked around and heaved a sigh of relief when she realized that no one was paying attention to them. She then turned to look at the man. “Can you look around before you flirt next time?”
Xiang Huai hugged her shoulders. “Alright, I’ll be careful next time.”
Xue Xi: “…”
It was already way past six when they finished eating dinner. Xiang Huai asked, “Do you want to take a stroll in the forest?”
In the forest, where couples often went.
Last time, Xiang Huai found an excuse to bring her there and even kissed her…
This time, he actually asked.
Xue Xi’s face turned red again, but… she coughed and said in a weak voice, “I have an appointment with Jing Fei to meet Yu Da.”
Xiang Huai had finally come see her for once, but she was going out. Could this person be unhappy?
Xiang Huai was not angry. It was as though he already knew. “Alright, I’ll send you there.”
Xue Xi nodded, saving her the trouble of taking a cab.
…
The two of them arrived at the entrance of the special department. Xiang Huai stopped the car and opened the car door for her before following her to the door.
At the entrance, Xue Xi took out her electronic work ID and the staff immediately let her in.
Xue Xi turned to look at Xiang Huai. “The special department doesn’t allow strangers to enter. Why don’t you…”
Before she could finish speaking, she saw…
