When Ji Chaoxi returned to school, she happened to run into her juniors who were having club activities.

A group of people were wandering around the school with cameras, and their eyes lit up when they saw Ji Chaoxi.

"Senior Ji Chaoxi, could you be the female lead in our group project?"

"Senior, we used to be in the same club as you, do you still remember me!"

"Senior, we just saw your video online. I'm also from the ocean."

Several people surrounded them, shamelessly begging Ji Chaoxi for help with the group assignment.

Lu Huainan, who was originally standing next to Ji Chaoxi, was suddenly pushed to the back, and there were a few footprints on his shoes.

Lu Huainan: ...

"Hey senior, what are you doing? Filming a promotional video?"

Several more people who knew Ji Chaoxi gathered around, trying to squeeze in.

A girl looked at Lu Huainan with a hint of apology in her eyes: "Excuse me, could you please let me in for a moment?"

"Senior, I've given you gifts, can you join our group?"

Ji Chaoxi flashed her signature smile, looking incredibly awkward.

Why are people still taking photos with her? When did she become this famous?

But could you please take pictures of her when she's all dressed up? She's carrying a big bag and has been on the bus for so long; she looks completely drained.

"I'm sorry, everyone, you'll have to find someone else for your group assignments," Ji Chaoxi said cruelly.

Are you kidding me? She already has enough homework to do!

Hearing Ji Chaoxi say this, the people around her didn't show any disappointment. They just wanted to chat with her anyway.

"Senior, why do I rarely run into you on campus now that you're in graduate school?"

Ji Chaoxi immediately deflated: "You'll understand when you go on to graduate school."

The younger students around her were chattering away. Ji Chaoxi was a little tired at first, but the next second she was amused by them and burst out laughing.

Lu Huainan stood in the corner, separated from the heads and shoulders of the other people, and could only catch a glimpse of her profile through the gaps.

He lowered his eyes, and his heart suddenly tightened for a moment. This terrible feeling was terribly familiar.

She was always like this before, whether in the corridor after class or at the school gate, she was always surrounded by a group of people, and he, just like now, coldly watched those faces.

Do these people understand Ji Chaoxi? If they really understood her, they certainly wouldn't be surrounding her anymore.

Doesn't it feel undignified for a group of people to fawn over someone like a pack of lackeys?

"laugh."

Lu Huainan sneered and prepared to walk towards the laboratory.

Ji Chaoxi's voice could still be heard from behind.

"Sure, I'll send you the materials I prepared, but I might not have time to answer your questions..."

Lu Huainan had already taken a few steps when he suddenly stopped.

Why is it always him who takes the initiative to leave? He's the first one to arrive, while the people surrounding her are the ones who came later?

Would Ji Chaoxi care if he left? With so many people around her, she wouldn't care at all. She might even think he had a strange temper.

He just didn't want to make her happy.

Surrounded by people, Ji Chaoxi cleared her throat awkwardly: "I haven't watched that video yet, I'll go back and take a look..."

Before she could finish speaking, a cold voice suddenly came from not far away.

"Ji Chaoxi".

The crowd fell silent instantly, and everyone looked in the direction from which the sound came.

Lu Huainan looked calmly at Ji Chaoxi, his voice slightly tense: "If you're busy, I'll be leaving now."

Ji Chaoxi was taken aback for a moment, then quickly said, "Lu Huainan, you're still waiting for me? I thought you left first."

"Sorry, I forgot about you. You can go now, I have some things to do."

Has the sun risen in the west? Lu Huainan has been waiting for her all this time.

Based on her understanding of Lu Huainan, he should have left the moment she was surrounded by the others.

Lu Huainan is really strange.

Lu Huainan responded and turned to leave. Only when he could no longer hear the sound behind him did he slowly loosen his clenched hand.

So when she was surrounded by everyone, turning around and leaving wasn't the only option...?

After returning to her dormitory, Ji Chaoxi collapsed onto her bed.

She has to go to the lab tonight, so she needs to get a good night's sleep.

As soon as she turned on her phone, a video of her speaking with tears in her eyes on the high school podium popped up.

"One exam score doesn't mean anything. I cried because of my grades too, but..."

Ji Chaoxi turned off her phone and closed her eyes in despair.

She doesn't dare to look at the comments now. Was she really that agitated back then?

I hope Lu Huainan wasn't secretly laughing at her down there...

The fan group was extremely lively at this moment.

I was standing right next to my baby, and I really wanted to kiss her, but I held back!

[When she heard that we were her students, she was quite surprised, haha.]

Am I the only one who's disillusioned? [crying] I always imagined Xixi to be aloof and cool, the kind who could step on me...

【? 】

Why would you say that? You don't like Xixi just because she's not aloof?

[What kind of talk is this? Her persona is that of a cool and aloof beauty. Is there a problem with me not liking her just because she's not cold? [laughing and crying emoji]]

[If you like being cold so much, why don't you just spend your whole life hugging an ice cube!]

The fan group quickly erupted into arguments.

When Ji Chaoxi went to the lab that evening, her supervisor praised her highly.

"Ji Chaoxi spoke exceptionally well."

She abruptly changed the subject: "But!"

"Ji Chaoxi, you need to work harder on your experiments and stop thinking about sleeping in your dorm all day. That way you can set a good example for your younger schoolmates."

Ji Chaoxi gave a dry laugh: "Okay, teacher."

Ji Chaoxi was already exhausted from the day, and she kept yawning while doing experiments in the evening.

She glanced to the side and saw that her senior sister had dark circles under her eyes and looked extremely tired.

My senior colleague was also conducting the experiment with a blank expression.

Ji Chaoxi suspected that there was something unclean in the laboratory that was constantly absorbing their vital energy.

Evenings are always prime time for live streaming. Although there's a lot of traffic, many top streamers also crowd into these times, making it difficult to steal viewers from them.

Therefore, these top streamers go live every day to create entertaining content and control viewership.

"Good evening, everyone." Ji Chaoxi adjusted the screen and greeted everyone.

The comments section kept showing her challenging others to a PK battle.

Why isn't Baby playing against the three anymore?

[Yeah, yeah, I really miss the old four-person games.]

[Xixi, could you please connect with the three boys today? [Please!]]

[Can you please stop mentioning irrelevant people's names in the public chat? If you like watching other streamers so much, go watch their streams!]

[Everyone, please don't argue or try to control Xixi. Xixi has her own rhythm, so please stop arguing. [crying]]
