America: I came here to study, not to show mercy.

Chapter 68: The way to keep things fresh is to add some exciting news
"Why don't you ask me?"

After the teacher called their names, the two didn't dare to speak anymore. After the get out of class, Li Xiaoen said hello and left, and Victoria followed him.

"You're not taking this course, why should I ask you?"

Li Xiaoen turned his head to glance at Victoria and slowed down his pace.

"But I've taken the introductory psychology course for the past two weeks. It's not like I don't know the content and progress of the course."

Well, that seems to be the case.

Li Xiaoen reacted, but still shook his head, "Victoria, I think you will lie to me, so I won't ask."

Victoria was stunned when she heard this, and suddenly felt a little aggrieved, and glared at Li Xiaoen.

"Did I do something to make you think I would lie to you?"

"careful!"

Li Xiaoen did not answer immediately. He raised his arm and put his arm around Victoria's shoulders, holding her in his arms. He did not let go of her until the school rugby team member, who was huge, broad and thick, passed by.

"excuse me."

"No."

Victoria lowered her head and shook it slightly, then raised her hand to tidy up her long hair.

Li Xiaoen took the initiative to stand outside the wall and said, "Come inside."

"Well, thank you."

"It seems like there are a lot of school activities recently."

Looking at a group of school football team members walking downstairs in full gear, Li Xiaoen started chatting casually.

"It seems like the autumn rugby season will be coming up soon."

Victoria nodded slightly and looked up at Li Xiaoen. "But before that, there's the school's Cane Spree, which will be after the welcome party this weekend."

"Yeah, I've heard of it."

Li Xiaoen nodded. The activity was actually a welcome event organized by the school to help students quickly get familiar with the campus and make friends. Daniel had mentioned it before.

Continuing to walk through the crowded corridor, the two arrived at the lobby of the floor. Seeing Victoria lowering her head and seeming to want to say something but stopping, Li Xiaoen felt amused.

"Okay, let me explain. You didn't do anything. The reason I thought you would lie to me was because I saw you were trying to play a trick on me."

After saying that, Li Xiaoen lowered his head and carefully examined Victoria's face. "Victoria, in class, if I really asked you, would you really not lie to me or tease me?"

"No...I really won't..."

The young man's handsome face came closer, Victoria opened her eyes a little wider, and answered subconsciously.

"is it?"

Looking at Victoria's bewildered face, Li Xiaoen showed a strange smile, not caring at all, and straightened his upper body. "Well, since you are so beautiful, Miss Victoria, I will believe you."

He really has always been so talkative!
Victoria complained inwardly, rolled her eyes, and looked to the other side.

"Sufeier has classes this afternoon and needs to study on his own to finish his homework. Sean, do you have any plans?"

"Well... I don't have classes this afternoon, so I'm probably practicing with Daniel and the others for this week's party."

Li Xiaoen answered carefully. This afternoon, there were only four people who had no classes. If he missed it again due to something, wouldn't Daniel be heartbroken and unable to cry?

"Then...can I go over and take a look?" Victoria's eyes lit up.

Li Xiaoen waved his hand and said, "Forget it. I think the best way to prepare the show is to finish rehearsing and present it to the audience with the most perfect final result."

"You obviously don't want me to go." Victoria's bright face darkened.

"Ha ha……"

Li Xiaoen laughed twice and said slowly, "Okay, don't worry, I promise you will see the wonderful show we carefully prepared this weekend." "Come on, I'll treat you to a meal."

Li Xiaoen raised his hand and put his arm around Victoria's shoulders and started walking, then put it down.

"A Western restaurant outside the school?"

"My last dinner cost me $2000, and my wallet is empty. I'll just eat in the school cafeteria this time."

"Didn't you make hundreds of thousands?"

Victoria glanced at Li Xiaoen helplessly. She knew the young man wasn't worried about the money, he just didn't want to go out because he didn't want to bother with the trouble. "I told you at the time that you just had to return the 100,000 yuan principal, and I'd treat you to dinner. But you insisted on being a male chauvinist and took the initiative to pay the bill, and even transferred over 120,000 yuan back."

"Let's be honest. We agreed to treat you guys to a meal in return for lending me the money."

Li Xiaoen spread his hands without further explanation.

Only the day after that dinner, he went to the bank and paid back all the borrowed money. The money for the dinner was his, and the money Victoria spent on shopping was deducted from the money transferred back to her.

Even brothers have to settle accounts clearly. He and Victoria have no relationship and are just good friends who can chat with each other. There is no reason for him to take the initiative to cover each other's expenses.

Sometimes, this behavior is not generous. On the contrary, it will make the other person surprised by your inexplicable social distance and put pressure on each other.

After having lunch with Victoria in the school cafeteria, Li Xiaoen walked back to the dormitory.

As soon as I opened the door, the sound of roaring music heard from outside the house turned into a picture.

Li Xiaoen stared blankly at the scene in the living room. Daniel stood on the sofa, dancing and roaring along to the accompaniment, shirtless, spinning in circles in one hand. Michael was singing with rapt attention, swaying his body from side to side as he approached the large dog, holding its head and swaying to the rhythm.

Malcolm, the only normal person, looked very strange in Li Sean's eyes. He sat on the sofa obediently, with his legs together and his hands clapping to the beat. He did not sing along and kept a toothless smile.

Sure enough, it was right not to let Victoria come to observe.

Li Xiaoen had never been so happy before that he had done something right.

Looking back, they noticed Li Xiaoen's figure. Daniel and the others sang even harder, swaying their bodies coquettishly.

He closed the door, walked into the hall, put down his schoolbag, took out a bottle of soda water from the refrigerator and drank it. After several people finished singing, Li Xiaoen looked at the three people and the dog helplessly.

"Do you think you're training seriously?"

"hey-hey……"

Daniel chuckled twice, jumped off the sofa, and stuffed the guitar into Li Xiaoen's arms. "You don't understand, this is called maintaining the passion for this song."

Ignoring Daniel's cocky expression, Li Xiaoen looked at Malcolm in confusion.

Malcolm smiled and nodded.

"It works, Sean. When we practice a song and sing it over and over again for a few days, we'll slowly lose our love for it. Occasionally, singing it out loud like this can help us maintain the freshness and passion for it for longer."

"It sounds like that's the case."

Li Xiaoen remembered the recording he made to Victoria, nodded seriously, looked around at the three of them, and smiled.

The living room briefly became quiet, and then a light string music came from the guitar...

"Right, Sean."

During a short break in training, Daniel suddenly asked Li Xiaoen, "Did anything happen during your hike?"

"How did you know?"

Li Xiaoen frowned. Yesterday, when he came back early, Daniel and the others dragged him to train. He hadn't specifically mentioned the hike, but now Daniel had taken the initiative to ask, "Why do you say that?"

"You guessed it."

Daniel answered, glancing around at the three people staring at him, his expression growing sullen. "I heard today that four students at our school were found to have used connections to get into our school. What do you think they have in common?"
