“…”
There was a strange silence in the dormitory.
The three of them looked at each other, then fixed their gazes on Xue Xi.
Despite seeing that they seemed to be shocked, Xue Xi did not mind. She picked up her luggage and unpacked it.
Just as she’d placed the books on her desk, the three people beside her finally returned to their senses and stood up. “You… Are you really Xue Xi?”
“Goddess of Studying, aren’t you bald?”
“Ah, ah, I remember now. The Goddess of Studying has even acted before. Although I haven’t seen it or understood it, she should be very beautiful!”
“Master, do you need help?”
Xue Xi: “?”
What kind of strange title is this? Master?
The corners of her lips twitched. “No need. You guys must be tired.”
“Not tired, not tired!” The three young ladies took a step forward and helped her unpack her luggage. “Touching the Master’s book might give me an edge during the pre-test tomorrow!”
“Yes, let me touch it too!”
Someone said, “By the way, the young lady who came today said that she needs to touch the Master too. I’ll go to the WeChat group and call her.”
Those who came to the Golden Autumn Camp were all Provincial No. 1s and were very knowledgeable about Math. At least, they were all top students in the field.
Among the hundreds of people, there were also 40-50 girls.
However, even though these girls were one of the top students in her school, they would still be nervous when joining such a gathering place. After the girl shouted in the group, the rest of the students either felt embarrassed to come over or rushed into their dormitory.
“Goddess of Studying, hello!”
Xue Xi, who had become a spectator: “…”
No one dared to touch her. They only touched her books and her things. They were actually feeling uneasy about the pre-test tomorrow and wanted to seek comfort.
Xue Xi was also a little confused and did not know what to do.
At this moment, a voice came from the door. “Licking a dog until you have nothing!”
The students in the room who were preparing to touch Xue Xi’s textbooks: “?”
Xue Xi followed everyone’s gaze to the door and saw a short-haired, round-faced girl standing there. She was dressed in casual clothes and arrogantly raised her chin. She mocked, “It’s useless if you don’t have the capability. What’s there to be afraid of about tests if you have the capability? You’re all high school students, so why are you being so superstitious here?”
After saying that, she turned to look at Xue Xi. “There are still some people who really don’t know what kind of person they are. Do they really think that there are such things as gods of studies? That they can pass the pre-test just by greeting you? Tsk~”
“…”
The dormitory fell silent again.
After a while, someone said, “Li Xi! What do you mean?”
So this person was called Li Xi.
Xue Xi lowered her eyes and heard Li Xi say, “Nothing much. It’s just that there aren’t any exams yet. Who knows if some people can still get first place!”
After saying that, she lowered her eyes and looked at the Math Olympiad questions in her hands. “It’s hard work that will give results. It’s hard work that will give rewards. Some people are filming and playing games. I’m afraid they’re really anchorless. Let me tell you, Mathematical Olympiad doesn’t have shortcuts. Without hard work, it’s useless!”
She glanced at Xue Xi and said in disdain, “According to what I know, Li Xuekai has been studying until late at night every day for the past few months in preparation for the CMO. What about you? Tsk.
“You’re going to be complacent just because you are the Provincial No. 1 in high school? Don’t forget, there are so many provinces in this country. In a small place like Bin City, you might be a genius, but this is where the top students gather! You’re too naive to call yourself a god here!”
After saying so much, Li Xi finally said, “See you in the pre-test tomorrow!”
After saying that, she left.
When she left, the dormitory was silent for ten seconds. After a while, the students who had been queuing up to cheer were too embarrassed to say anything else and said, “Then we’ll go back to studying first.”
Soon, the four of them were left in their dormitory.
The three dormitory mates all had apologetic looks. “Xue Xi, I’m sorry. You didn’t do anything and instead got mocked. It’s all our fault.”
Xue Xi did not care about this. “It’s fine.”
Another girl said indignantly, “I know her. It’s Li Xi. She’s from the Jiangnan province in the college entrance examination. Her grades are indeed high, and she’s from a gathering place of the top students. Moreover, she has been a talented person since before. This Li Xi scored 295 marks this year and is indeed formidable. She even said that she wanted to enter the IMO and get the gold medal. But isn’t she too arrogant? What does our game have to do with her?”
“That’s right. That’s too much!”
After saying this, they turned to look at Xue Xi and explained in embarrassment, “Goddess of Studying, y-you don’t have to be nervous for the exams tomorrow…”
Xue Xi nodded. “Okay.”
After saying that, she picked up the towel and went to shower. After taking a shower, she took a look at the clothes she had changed out of and decided to wash them directly.
When she was washing her clothes and the tap was turned on, she was suddenly stunned.
After she returned to the Xue family, her clothes were all washed by Ye Li. It seemed that she had not done anything for herself in a long time.
While she was washing her clothes seriously, the three people in the room thought that she could not hear them over the sound of the tap. Hence, they discussed softly.
“What should we do? Li Xi is really formidable. I just searched her background. She has been on the Math Olympiad path since she was young. She participated in math competitions in primary school and is really experienced in competitions.”
“I looked at the timeline too. Xue Xi has indeed been filming and playing games recently. She hasn’t been studying hard. I understand that she has already been admitted, so what else can she learn? However, Li Xi’s words tonight have all been sent to the boys. If she doesn’t score better than Li Xi tomorrow, it will be too embarrassing!”
“Oh my God, then what should we do? Who can guarantee that during the examination, the outcome would not be a bad one? One question is worth more than ten marks. This is too scary.”
“If Xue Xi did not surpass Li Xi, that would just be as Li Xi already expected. But what about Xue Xi? She will cry, right?”
“Oh my God, I’m feeling so pressured for her. When she finishes washing her clothes, everyone stop talking. Give her enough time to study!”
“Mhm, the three of us shall not sleep tonight. Let’s prepare for the Math Olympiad!”
“Sure!”
The three of them clenched their fists and gave an encouraging look to one another. However, they did not know that Xue Xi’s senses were sharp. Her eyesight and hearing were amazing, and she’d heard everything they said.
Xue Xi: “…”
She had been studying at Bin City International High School all this while yet had never interacted with her classmates. She did not expect these three dormitory mates to be so cute.
After washing her clothes, she slowly walked to the dormitory. Just as she was about to speak, her phone rang again. It was from Little Flame.
