Chapter 196 - Student?!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Sweetheart, like many others, had a misunderstanding about international high schools.

She thought that those who entered an international high school were all children from wealthy families. If they went to such a school, they would surely get a degree and then go overseas to study, but they must have poor grades.

Moreover, Xue Xi was filming and playing games. She was definitely wasting time.

If she had good grades, she would not have done such things.

Sweetheart was certain that Xue Xi’s grades were not good, so she spoke more and more seriously. “This game is indeed fun, but it’s really wrong to play on time from nine to eleven every night. Student, does your mother not care about you?

“Also, the college entrance examination is coming soon. Everyone is working hard to pass it, but you came here to play games. This is really not good.

“Student, I know that I’m being straightforward. These words shouldn’t have been said by me, but as a streamer, I have to be a role model. Although I know that it’s not pleasant to hear, I still have to say that you should study well! Studying is useful!”

She sounded so righteous.

Xue Xi was slightly surprised when she heard this. Her eyes widened slightly, but she quickly calmed down. She even curled her lips into a faint smile and left without saying anything.

She could not be bothered to explain anything to a stranger.

After leaving the hotel, she got the Xue family’s car to send Xiang Huai back first. On the way, Xiang Huai suddenly smiled. “Little kid, how’s my play tonight?”

Xue Xi picked up the English vocabulary book after getting in the car and was silently memorizing them when she said, “It’s alright.”

Xiang Huai: “...”

After she’d sent Xiang Huai to the provision store, Xue Xi’s phone rang on the way home.

She picked it up and took a look. It was a friend request from the Moguls’ Group.

She had never rejected anyone in the Moguls’ Group.

After being let through, the other party sent a message.

Gamer: “Sister Xi, hello. I’m Feng Yan.”

Feng Yan?

Xue Xi suddenly understood. So this was the person playing games with her today?

She replied: “Hello.”

Gamer: “Please add me as a friend. It’ll be easier for us to play together in the future.”

Learning: “Sure.”

Gamer: “Sister Xi, do you know Gao Yanchen?”

Learning: “Mhm, from the same school.”

The person who was a gamer was currently keying in. Despite this, he did not send a message even after a while.

Xue Xi looked confused and waited for ten minutes before the other party replied: “Is he alright?”

Xue Xi looked at this question and did not know how to reply.

Little Flame was fit and healthy. Wasn’t he well enough to play games on his phone every day?

Just as she was in a dilemma, the other party sent another message: “If he encounters any trouble, can you tell me?”

Xue Xi: “?”

What trouble can Little Flame encounter?

While she was once again in a dilemma, the other party sent another message: “I just want to help him.”

Xue Xi: “...”

Xue Xi recalled Gao Yanchen’s behavior today. Looking at Feng Yan’s messages, she vaguely felt as though Feng Yan had done something to let Little Flame down.

She replied: “This, I can’t. This is Little Flame’s private matter. I can only tell you if he agrees.”

Gamer: “Alright.”

If Little Flame refused to forgive Gamer, she could not be a messenger in the middle. After all, that would be infringing on Little Flame’s privacy.

Without knowing what had happened, Xue Xi would not take the initiative for Little Flame.

However, this did not mean that she was not curious.

Hence, when Xue Xi returned home, she immediately asked Qin Shuang, who had just arrived, “Do you know what Little Flame has to do with the Devil?”

Qin Shuang: “??”

She was stunned for a moment before saying, “I do know a little about this, but I don’t know everything. Five years ago, back when Brother Chen was in middle school, he seemed to have met someone while playing games. I don’t know how he actually got to know that person. The two of them started playing games together, and after that, they got into an argument. Later, they became brothers and became the Black and White Demons of the POT game world. At that time, Brother Chen even said that he finally has a relative in this world! He has a brother! However, a year later, Brother Chen never mentioned this brother again. He seems to have fallen out with him. We asked him what’s going on, but he didn’t say anything. However, since then, Brother Chen clearly became more depressed. He didn’t speak more than a few sentences every day. He only started to speak more again after a while.”

The netizens really couldn’t be blamed for coming up with nonsense. Through these few words, Xue Xi imagined a scene of love and death.

Qin Shuang reminded her, “But don’t mention it. During these past few years, Flame Number One mentioned it once before. After he did, he was beaten up by Brother Chen. That’s terrible.”

Imitating Xue Xi, Qin Shuang had stopped using people’s proper names and started calling them by her nicknames.

“Oh,” Xue Xi replied.

The two of them went upstairs to read and the night was silent.

The next day, Xue Xi and Qin Shuang woke up to go to class. When they arrived at the school, they saw Gao Yanchen standing at the door with his red hair.

When he saw the two of them, he lifted his head uneasily, stood up, and followed beside Xue Xi.

He coughed and asked, “Sister Xi, how do you know him?”

Xue Xi: “Hm? Who?”

Gao Yanchen: “...Feng Yan.”

Xue Xi: “...We met while gaming.”

“Oh,” Gao Yanchen replied. He looked like someone who’d made a mistake. Just as they were about to part ways, Xue Xi suddenly stopped. “He sent me a message yesterday and asked me to tell him about any of your troubles as they happen. He said that he wants to help you. Should I tell him?”

Gao Yanchen became agitated when he heard this.

His eyes were filled with hostility and his eyes had widened. “Don’t tell him anything. I have nothing to do with him!”

Xue Xi: “...Oh.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Gao Yanchen stormed off angrily.

Xue Xi and Qin Shuang looked at each other and did not speak.

When they reached the classroom, Xue Xi was reading when Qin Shuang suddenly said, “F*ck!” She then turned around in anger. “Sister Xi, that Sweetheart is too disgusting! She f*cked with your high schooler’s image today!”

After saying that, she showed the thread to Xue Xi.

Sweetheart’s background had been dug out. She was actually a fourth-year student at a university in the capital. On Weibo, she had called for everyone to study hard.

She did not have any inner thoughts, but her fans had left comments on Xue Xi’s Weibo.

“As a third-year student, you should study hard and not play games. You should study hard. You might even get into the capital’s university and meet our Sweetheart! @Xue Xi.”

“Although I feel that Sweetheart is a b*tch in b*tch’s clothing, what she said is correct. Everyone needs to study hard and not take the wrong path even if you have money. @Xue Xi.”
