Forced to Date a Big Shot - Chapter 381
Chapter 381: Xue Xi, General Xiang Is Looking for You!
Instructor Li was stunned. He had no idea what had happened.
Why did General Xiang ask where Xue Xi was?
Could it be that he found out about today’s matter and was coming to find trouble with Xue Xi?
This was the only reasonable reason that Instructor Li could come up with!
While he was staying silent, Xiang Huai was getting impatient. “Mhm?”
Instructor Li hurriedly returned to his senses. “I-I’m in the canteen!”
Xiang Huai: “Find her and see if she’s eating!”
Instructor Li: “!!!”
Although he did not understand why General Xiang was doing this, he still stood up abruptly and said to Instructor Zhang, who was eating, “Stop eating, quickly find someone!”
“Who?”
“Xue Xi.”
“…”
Huaxia University had a huge population. It had five canteens to cater to everyone. The canteen they were in was quite huge. Moreover, everyone was wearing military training uniforms, and it was difficult to see the person they were tasked to look for. Coincidentally, there was someone from their class sitting beside them, so Instructor Li threw all considerations aside and said to Wang Wei and Liu Zhao, “You guys, look for Xue Xi. Call me when you find her!”
Wang Wei and the rest: “?”
They were eating, so why were they suddenly being told to look for someone?
However, they dared not disobey Instructor Li’s words. Hence, they started wandering around the canteen in twos and threes.
Liu Zhao and Wang Wei walked together. Wang Wei asked in confusion, “Why are they looking for Xue Xi?”
Liu Zhao: “…Probably because Xue Xi spoke nonsense and Instructor Li wants to punish her.”
Her words made Wang Wei frown. “Then what should we do?”
Wang Wei had a sense of justice, but she was not a petty person. Although she hated narcissistic girls like Xue Xi, she felt that it was good enough that she’s reprimanded. There was no need to drag her out while they were eating, right?
Liu Zhao frowned. “I don’t know. Let’s find her first.”
The girls found Xue Xi in the canteen very quickly. After Instructor Li was informed, he walked over. When he got closer, he saw Xue Xi eating. Instructor Li first asked Wang Wei and Liu Zhao to leave before saying to Xiang Huai through the walkie-talkie, “General Xiang, I found her. She’s eating.”
The other party paused and said, “Then when she’s done eating, ask her to come to the pavilion over at the Huaqing Pond.”
Instructor Li: “!!!!”
General Xiang had always been a man of action. He would never go back on his word. If anything happened, he would definitely act on it immediately. But now, wasn’t he supposed to capture her and reprimand her? Why wait for her to finish eating?
Instructor Li thought about it and decided that he could not let General Xiang wait for too long like this. Otherwise, General Xiang would be even angrier and reprimand him even more.
It was wrong for Xue Xi to say that about Xiang Huai in private, but she was a girl after all, so there was no need to be too serious.
Hence, he walked to Xue Xi’s side and said, “Xue Xi.”
Seeing him, Xue Xi put down her chopsticks and stood up to salute. “Here!”
The girl’s fair cheeks were filled with seriousness, as though she was in training. There was no hint of perfunctoriness. The more Instructor Li trained her, the more he could sense her excellence. At this moment, he felt that it was a pity.
He had originally thought that their class’s little soldier should be Xue Xi, but if Xue Xi was continuously being reprimanded by General Xiang, how could he still give the position to her?
Instructor Li looked at Xue Xi with even more pity. “Instructor Xiang wants you to go where he is.”
Xue Xi paused and asked, “Now?”
Instructor Li was afraid that she would be afraid, so he explained, “Don’t be afraid. His tone is quite good. He said that you can go after having lunch.”
It was supposed to be comforting words, but no matter who it was, they would immediately put down their chopsticks and leave, right? However, the moment he said this, Xue Xi seriously replied, “Oh.” She then sat down and picked up her chopsticks before slowly eating.
Instructor Li: “?”
Wow, you really continued to eat!
He was stunned. He was flabbergasted.
Not only did Xue Xi really continue to eat, but her movements remained as slow as always. It was the same with her chewing. Chewing slowly was good for the stomach, so she slowly ate for another ten minutes.
Seeing that she had finished all the food on her plate, Instructor Li stood up and finally heaved a sigh of relief. “Are you leaving?”
Xue Xi: “Just a moment. I’ll drink another bowl of soup.”
Instructor Li: “?”
Xue Xi really ran to the canteen’s free soup area and took a bowl of soup back to her seat. Again, she slowly drank it.
Beside her, Li Zixia was anxious. “Xi, Sister Xi, why don’t you go first? If Instructor Xiang becomes antsy from waiting, he might become harsher with you. What should we do?”
Xue Xi drank another bowl of soup. “It’s fine.”
Li Zixia: “…But it’s such a hot day. Are you really going to make Instructor Xiang wait for you?”
Such a hot day…
Xue Xi recalled that Xiang Huai seemed to be very afraid of the sun. In the past, when they were in the provision store, he would usually hide in the dark. Only then did she reluctantly put down the bowl in her hand.
She sighed. “The purple vegetable egg soup is very delicious.”
Unfortunately, there was still half left.
Xue Xi stood up and said to Instructor Li, “Let’s go.”
Instructor Li, who felt that he had finally come back to life: “?”
He walked in front and led the way. Although General Xiang did not ask him to go over because he wanted Xue Xi to go over directly, he was really afraid that Xue Xi would go alone and that General Xiang would do something. Hence, he followed beside Xue Xi and chattered on the way. “You girls keep joking around. Don’t you know your limits? Can you joke around about Instructor Xiang as you please? You can’t do this next time!”
Xue Xi: “…Oh, alright.”
Seeing her like this, Instructor Li felt angry. “I’m serious!”
Xue Xi: “…Oh.”
Instructor Li: “…”
Afraid that General Xiang would be antsy from waiting, Instructor Li quickened his pace and the two of them quickly arrived at the Huaqing Pond. From afar, they could see that dignified and tall figure sitting in the pavilion.
Instructor Li gulped and led Xue Xi into the pavilion.
Xiang Huai’s eyes were deep as he stared at the two of them. His gaze first swept past Xue Xi before landing on Instructor Li.
Xiang Huai was very puzzled. He had asked Instructor Li to call Xue Xi, but why did this Instructor Li follow her?
Little rascal, are you so blind?
The anger in his eyes made Instructor Li even more confused.
It’s over!
General Xiang is furious. His eyes could kill!
What should I do now? He wouldn’t crush Xue Xi to death with just one finger, right? Is such a beautiful young lady going to be ruined just like that?
Instructor Li’s mind was filled with images of the battle between Heaven and Man. While he was wavering between saving Xue Xi and offending General Xiang, Xue Xi said coldly, “It’s so hot. Why did you call me over?”
Instructor Li: “?”
What’s with this impatient tone?!
Xue Xi, do you really not want to live anymore?!
How dare she speak to General Xiang like that!
Just as he was feeling at a loss, he saw—
“…”
