Chapter 564: Looked Familiar
The people looked at each other, very surprised.
Qiang wasn’t weak, so how could he lose a young woman he was following?
This was an unprecedented first!
Qi Xin hummed, “I told you, she must not have good intentions…”
“Qi Xin.”
Ling Xiao looked at her expressionlessly, which made her shut up with a slightly terrified expression.
“I don’t know where the manners I taught you have gone, but I don’t want to hear that again.”
Qi Xin lowered her head and whispered, “I understand.”
She knew that the more expressionless her mother was, the more serious the matter was.
If she still dared to continue talking, she would be punished even more.
Although she was still suspicious of Xia Xibei’s intentions, she could only keep her mouth shut.
When she stopped talking, Ling Xiao didn’t continue to reprimand her, but looked at Liu Yiqin, who was thoughtful.
“What’s wrong?”
“She seems a bit familiar.”
“Looks familiar? You’ve seen her before?”
“No,” Liu Yiqin shook her head. “If I’d have seen her, how could I not remember?”
With Xia Xibei’s outstanding appearance, if they had seen her before, they wouldn’t have forgotten her.
“Well, let’s go back first. We shouldn’t let our families worry.”
“Alright.”
The two of them each went back home.
Meanwhile, Xia Xibei went shopping alone after she ditched Qiang.
She was not angry because Qi Xin had picked on her. After all, those two n.o.ble ladies were quite nice, and it was worth saving them.
However, she did not want to get involved with them too much. After all, they were not from the same circle.
As for the so-called life-saving favor, she did not take it seriously either.
After walking slowly for a while, her footsteps were a little hesitant, noticing that there were many curious eyes around her.
When she turned her head to look, those people’s eyes lit up and they
immediately perked up.
“Are you Xia Xibei?”
“Are you Sister Bei?”
The young people were so excited, they squeezed their fists and looked at her in happy surprise.
“Yes, I am,” she answered slowly.
“Oh!” The people immediately called out. “We didn’t expect to really see you here!”
They immediately gathered around her and started talking.
“I didn’t expect to really run into you!”
“Good thing I’m smart!”
Xia Xibei finally figured it out by listening to their discussion.
It turned out it was all because of the post she just put up!
After she posted about the award, the fans in the imperial capital started to act.
Although the national English compet.i.tion was not very well known, the students in the imperial capital had heard of it.
After checking the hotels where the partic.i.p.ants were staying, they headed this way.
Even if they couldn’t necessarily find Xia Xibei, they had to at least come and see for themselves!
Some people went to the hotel, while others came to the neighborhood. They thought maybe Xia Xibei would come out to look around.
Originally, they were just thinking of trying their luck, but they never thought that they would really see Xia Xibei here!
“Sister Bei, you are awesome!”
“Yeah! You’re super awesome, Sister Bei! Your performance was so amazing!”
“How do you study, Sister Bei? I really want to know your study method!”
Xia Xibei smiled and posed for photos and autographs with them before breaking free with great difficulty.
After the people got their autographed group photos, they didn’t continue to chase after her. Rather, they posted the photos on the microblog, full of excited words.
After parting from them, Xia Xibei couldn’t continue shopping. She should have done a good job of disguising herself!
She just did not expect that her popularity would go up so quickly.
Resigned, she could only go back.
However, while pa.s.sing a slightly secluded path, she suddenly stopped, her brows furrowed.
