Chapter 365: I’ll See You Tomorrow
After Liu Zhao left, Ms. Ye looked at the photo Liu Zhao had sent her on WeChat.
The photo on the thread yesterday was blurry, but the one Liu Zhao took was very clear.
The man who’d helped Xue Xi into the car looked to be in his forties. At this age and with that kind of money, it was impossible for him to not have a wife.
Xue Xi would have to be a third party!
This thought shocked Ms. Ye.
She did not dare to delay any longer and hurriedly called the parents. Such a good student must not be cheated by outsiders!
However, she still had to be careful with the topic and explain it properly.
Sigh, she was calling her parents as soon as Xue Xi entered university. She did not know if her parents would be angry. As she thought this, Teacher Ye carefully gave Ye Li a call.
After the call, she hung up in a daze.
The teacher beside her asked, “What’s wrong? It’s only the first day of school and you’re already calling her parents. Can her parents not accept it?”
Ms. Ye: “… No, but why do I feel that the other party seems to be quite happy?”
…
Ye Li was naturally happy.
She had just made a wish yesterday, saying that she wanted to be called to a parent-teacher meeting. She wanted to have a taste of this. Today, her daughter would fulfill her wis.h.!.+ Although the teacher only said that she wanted her to go over and did not say anything else, such a good thing must definitely be rushed!
Just as she stood up, Xue Sheng said, “I’ll go.”
Ye Li: “I’ll go!”
Xue Sheng: “The sun is so bright. Since you’ll get tanned again, I’ll go!”
Ye Li: “Don’t think that I don’t know that you’re just looking for an excuse! I want to go!”
Xue Sheng: “Then why don’t we go together?”
Ye Li: “… Alright, I’ll quickly tell Lin Jing!”
Xue Sheng: “…”
…
At this moment, Xue Xi, who was in the library, did not know about this. Just as she was reading, her phone vibrated.
She picked it up and saw that it was a message from Xiang Huai: “Did you miss me?”
Xue Xi replied: “No.”
Xiang Huai: “Little kid, you’re too cruel.”
Xue Xi pouted when she saw this.
Thinking about it, it had been five days since she last saw him. The last time she saw him was when he went to the Xue family and gave her some items for school reopening before leaving.
Xue Xi ignored him and the other party sent another message: “You don’t have to take your medicine tomorrow.”
No need for medicine?
If she and Xiang Huai did not meet for a day, she would have to take the pill that Ji Silin had given her. What did he mean by telling her not to take the medicine tomorrow? Did he want her heart to hurt?
Xue Xi paused and grumbled at him. She then suddenly realized something and replied: “You’re coming?”
Xiang Huai: “Do you welcome me?”
Xue Xi looked ahead blankly.
Welcome, but…
She replied: “Tomorrow’s the start of the closed military training. I can’t go out.”
Xiang Huai: “I know.”
Xue Xi: “?”
If you knew, why are you still coming?
Could it be that he planned to meet her through the railing at the entrance? That’s fine too. She wouldn’t need to take her medicine if she met him.
Xue Xi replied: “Oh.”
Xiang Huai: “Not happy?”
Xue Xi: “?”
Xiang Huai: “Then do you want to see me?”
Xue Xi: “Yes.”
After all, if she did not see him, she would have to take medicine. That medicine was actually a little bitter. Moreover… Xue Xi had once studied the composition of that medicine, but she did not manage to figure it out…
She did not know what it was made of.
However, any kind of medicine could be toxic. She did not want to take medicine every day. When would that “die if you don’t fall in love” be completely removed?
Xiang Huai knew what she meant, but he still replied in all seriousness: “I miss you too.”
Xue Xi: “…”
She did not reply, feeling that this person was being frivolous again. Instead, she looked at her book. Just as she was reading, she heard Xie Yingying say, “Sister Xi, are you sending a message to your boyfriend?”
Xue Xi: “?”
She looked at Xie Yingying in confusion. “How did you know?”
Xie Yingying chuckled. “When you sent the message just now, you were smiling so happily. Who else could it be if not him?”
Xue Xi: “?”
She stretched out her hand and touched her cheek. The mist in her eyes became thicker. Did she smile just now?
Why didn’t she feel anything?
Beside her, Li Zixia heard the two of them openly discussing her boyfriend, so she said, “Sister Xi, is your boyfriend much older than you?”
Xue Xi: “… A little old.”
Li Zixia: “Then how did you guys meet? Do you like him?”
Xue Xi: “Mhm.”
Li Zixia: “No, Sister Xi. You’re so young and beautiful. Why do you like such an old man?”
Xue Xi was confused. “He can’t be considered an old man, right?”
Li Zixia nodded. “That’s true. He’s not an old man, but he’s still a little old. You have to consider it carefully. You can’t like him just because he’s rich.”
Xue Xi: “No.”
Li Zixia: “?”
Xue Xi: “It’s not because he’s rich, but because I’ll die if I leave him.”
Li Zixia: “!!!!”
After she said this, Xue Xi’s phone rang again. She opened it and saw Xiang Huai’s message: “What are you doing?”
Xue Xi: “Chatting with my cla.s.smates.”
Xiang Huai: “About what?”
Xue Xi: “About you.”
Xiang Huai: “?”
After sending this message, Xue Xi put down her phone and continued reading. She did it on purpose. That person seemed to mind her saying that he was old…
Just as she thought this, Xue Xi paused. She suddenly reached out to touch her lips and realized that her lips had curled up again.
Was she smiling again?
While she was in a daze, the people sitting beside her suddenly pointed at Xue Xi.
Li Zixia also suddenly saw a thread and said angrily, “This is too much. Who is this? She actually slandered you!”
After saying that, she took the thread and showed it to Xue Xi. “These people really have nothing better to do. They actually criticized you online and said that you’re a mistress! You guys are clearly a normal couple!”
The moment she said this, someone beside her said, “I’ve never seen an 18-year-old saying it’s normal to be in a relations.h.i.+p with a 38-year-old! At that age, she can already be her father, right? But it’s apparently normal, hehehe…”
“That’s right. Moreover, the other party is clearly rich. This doesn’t seem normal. Are you sure that he’s not married?”
“He’s not married yet at the age of 38? Then if word of this got out, he won’t be afraid that his wife will come knocking on his door! I reckon that with this person’s ident.i.ty, he’ll even have a child in the future, right?”
“How can our Huaxia University have such a student? Isn’t it good enough to study hard? After graduating, we will have a bright future! Someone has really embarra.s.sed Huaxia University!”
“That’s right. Our school is not a second-rate school!”
Xue Xi: “? Who’s 38 years old?”
“…”
