Chapter 396: Befriend Night Li’s Daughter!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Li Zixia’s father said, “She’s from Jiangnan Province. It’s said that Night Li’s husband could no longer continue doing business there, so he came to the capital. He moved the company over and has yet to gain a firm foothold in the capital. Their company’s assets are probably not even in the hundreds of millions. It’s just a small company. However, such an artist usually doesn’t care about this. I heard that she and her husband are very loving. 1
“Oh right, Night Li’s original name is Ye. She and her husband only have one daughter. This daughter did not enter the art world, but it is said that she is very outstanding. Everyone who has seen her praised her. She relied on herself to get into Huaxia University. She seems to be engrossed in her studies and will probably be in scientific research in the future.”
After saying this, Li Zixia’s father said, “People who dabble in art are all naive. I just found out about this. When I find out what her daughter’s name is, you guys can try to get close to her and build a good relationship. Typically, the nouveau riche look down on scholarly families. We’re different, understand?”
Gu Peng hurriedly nodded. “Yes, Uncle. I know.”
…
…
In the dormitory.
After Xue Xi returned, she took a shower.
She had no choice. She was still covered in dust from the field. When she had finished showering and came out in her short-sleeved pajamas, she saw Xie Yingying and Li Zixia sitting on chairs.
Both of them hugged their chairs and rested their chin on their hands, looking at her with admiration.
Xue Xi paused.
Xie Yingying said, “Sister Xi, I want to admit my mistake! I always thought that those bastards from Country F were slandering you when they said that they were beaten up by you. Only today did I believe that they were speaking the truth!” 1
Xue Xi: “…”
Li Zixia’s eyes lit up as well. “Sister Xi, you’ll be my goddess from here on out! You were simply too dashing today! I’ve decided that I’ll follow you from now on! You can use all my skincare products as you please! You can also use my luggage as you please!”
Xue Xi: “…Oh.”
After they calmed down, Li Zixia realized something. “Sister Xi, do you think Liu Zhao will have her injuries checked and call the police?”
Although Instructor Li was the scapegoat, if she called the police, things would get ugly.
Xue Xi calmly picked up her book. “No.”
Her certainty relieved Li Zixia and Xie Yingying. Although the two of them did not know why she said that, they trusted her inexplicably.
Li Zixia was elated. She felt that she had been suppressed for a few days and the dormitory had finally quietened down today.
She walked to the balcony and started washing up.
Xue Xi continued reading.
Two minutes later—”Ah ah ah ah!”
A loud shriek sounded in the washroom. Xie Yingying and Xue Xi instinctively stood up and rushed over to look at her in front of the mirror.
Xie Yingying asked anxiously, “What’s wrong?”
Li Zixia turned around with a bitter expression and pointed at her dark eye circles. “Wuwuwu, Sister Xi, Xie Yingying, look. I’ve been tortured by Liu Zhao until my dark eye circles are out. Wuwuwuwu…”
Xie Yingying: “…”
Xue Xi: “…”
The corners of Xie Yingying’s lips twitched. She turned around and returned to the dormitory. “You shouted so loudly. I thought someone died!”
Li Zixia followed her into the dormitory listlessly and said, “No, you don’t understand my pain! My dark eye circles are very serious. I’d have to sleep well every day before they could be removed. I haven’t slept well after being tortured by Liu Zhao for a few days and they came out again. Sob, I still have to go to military training. After being exposed to the sun for a few days, my dark eye circles are probably gonna be even more stubborn. I don’t want to see anyone anymore!”
Xie Yingying: “…”
Xue Xi paused and sighed. She walked to her seat and took out a very small bottle from the few bottles. After looking at the label, she passed it to Li Zixia. “Use it. It should be useful.”
These were the small bottles Xiang Huai had given her when he was giving her skincare products.
It was said that their company had personally developed it and added some Chinese medicine ingredients. Because Chinese medicine was rare, it could not be mass-produced. Only a few people would have it.
One was used to treat dark eye circles, another was used to heal sunburns, and another was used to remove acne.
Xue Xi’s skin had always been good and she had never used these before, but the things Xiang Huai gave her would never be ineffective.
Li Zixia, on the other hand, was a little distrustful. Looking at the product, she held it in and said, “Sister Xi, skincare products really can’t be any random thing. If it’s used randomly, what if something happens?”
Xue Xi ignored her and sat on the chair. She picked up the Mathematical Modeling book and casually replied, “Oh. Suit yourself.”
Li Zixia: “…”
Did her words just now anger Sister Xi?
Taking a closer look at her, she realized that Xue Xi was reading seriously and did not seem to be in any bad mood. Li Zixia finally looked at the bottle of skincare products in her hands that looked like ointment.
Forget it.
Let’s give it a shot. Even if I’m really allergic and my skin gets swollen, I can still let Sister Xi know the harm of having no good products. Otherwise, she won’t listen to me.
Li Zixia gritted her teeth, walked to the washroom, and applied a thick layer on her dark eye circles.
Other than feeling a little refreshed, she did not feel anything else. After applying it, she returned the small white porcelain bottle to Xue Xi and went to bed to rest.
Just as the lights in the dormitory were about to go out, Liu Zhao returned silently.
She was covered in dust as she went to the bathroom to shower. When she came out again, she did not speak and went straight to her bed.
She glared hatefully at Li Zixia and buried her head in the blanket.
That night, Liu Zhao did not dare to make a fuss.
She could not sleep and turned around. When she heard Xue Xi move, she was so frightened that she immediately stopped moving, afraid that she would disturb her.
She had no choice. She was afraid of being beaten.
The next morning, she got out of bed and left without even brushing her teeth. She obediently went to look for the form teacher to change dormitories.
She had thought it through. In this dormitory, the class representative and Xue Xi were not to be trifled with. Since the entire class knew about it, it might be better to change dormitories.
…
It was rare that no one was tormenting her. In addition, Li Zixia, who had finally taken a breather, slept well and woke up slowly in the morning.
Today was the weekend. There was no military training and they could rest for a day.
After stretching, she sat up and realized that Liu Zhao was no longer in the dormitory. Without her, the dormitory was very harmonious. Xie Yingying was playing with her phone while Xue Xi was reading in the morning. The two of them seemed to be waiting for her to wake up so they could have breakfast together.
This scene made her feel very warm. She suddenly thought of something and touched her eyes with both hands. She hurriedly jumped off the bed and ran to the washroom.
She wanted to see how her dark circles were.
Xue Xi: “…”
