After class, the students left the multimedia classroom one after another. As Yun Xi passed Zhou Chengzhe, she glanced at him without really meaning to.
Today, he had probably been the person who had had the biggest problem with her being chosen ahead of time.
“Yun Xi, don’t act so smug. I won’t lose to you. Even if there is only one spot left, I will fight you to the end.”
Yun Xi paused. She couldn’t help laughing when she heard him say this.
“Zhou Chengzhe, if you want to treat me as an opponent, it won’t work if I don’t treat you as an opponent. Competing with someone who isn’t at the same level as I am doesn’t interest me at all.”
“You b*tch! Yun Xi, don’t act like too much of a bully.”
Her contemptuous words had successfully aroused Zhou Chengzhe’s anger.
Zhou Chengzhe had already been massively provoked by the extraordinary talent Yun Xi had shown in the video. At this moment, now that she’d provoked him so arrogantly and contemptuously, all his calmness and rationality had been replaced by anger.
“I never bully people who are weaker than I am.” Yun Xi raised her eyebrows and watched indifferently as Zhou Chengzhe lashed out with hostility toward her.
She had encountered many easily agitated and conceited men in her previous life.
He thought he was number one in the world and didn’t take anyone else seriously. Since he didn’t have any respect for others at all, then he couldn’t blame her for mercilessly crushing his ego with her capabilities.
“Just you wait! There is one place left, and I will definitely get it. At that time, I’ll show you. I won’t lose to you.”
“All right, I will wait and see.”
Tugging at the corners of her mouth, Yun Xi pulled Zhao Yumo’s arm and the two of them left the academic building together.
“Yun Xi, why did you anger Zhou Chengzhe just now? I saw his terrifying expression. I’m really worried about him making another shady move. You have to be careful.”
Yun Xi squinted, turned her head, and smiled at Zhao Yumo, “Why don’t you realize that I’ve deliberately angered him so that he’ll make his move sooner rather than later?”
“Aren’t you worried about those snakes?”
“Yes. Zhou Chengzhe hasn’t made a move yet, so I will give him a chance to do it. Today, Teacher Lu announced a quota, which is a good fuse for him. According to my hunch, he will do it tonight. Only after resolving those snakes can he proceed to the next plan. Otherwise, we will be at his mercy, which is passive and not a good thing.”
“Huh? Does he have another trick up his sleeve?”
Yun Xi nodded. “The virus that was flown abroad has been traced. The Young Marshal said that three are missing. One was placed by Li Sinuo on your cup, and the whereabouts of the other two are unknown. Moreover, Zhou Chengzhe and Liang Xinyi are now in cahoots, so I’m worried that there will be further shenanigans. If there are not, that would be the best scenario. However, just in case there are, we have to take precautions in advance.”
“Then I’ll remind everyone not to sleep too deeply at night, otherwise all h*ll will break loose after the snake slips in.”
“Yes, and I will find a suitable reason to talk to the two of them, especially Jian Junling. She is kind of timid. If there is a loud disturbance in the bedroom, our plan will fall through.”
There were no classes in the evening, but most of the students went to the classrooms to do practice problems, and, occasionally, the professors would come over to help the students.
After finally finishing their self-study session, Yun Xi and Zhang Peipei agreed to return to the dormitory early. Once they’d arrived downstairs in the dormitory, the four roommates quickly snuck into a dark corner and walked all the way along a sewer ditch through the alley behind the boys’ dormitory.
Yun Xi shook the flashlight in her hand and turned her head to look at Jian Junling, who she’d thought was the least courageous among them. “Did you see anything? Are you afraid?”
Jian Junling shook her head fervently. “I’m a biology student. Aren’t they just snakes? What is there to be afraid of? Besides, these seem to be nonpoisonous snakes.”
Seeing her dismissive expression, Yun Xi couldn’t help teasing her, “I had no idea that you are actually quite bold.”
“I’ve also dissected snakes before, so I know very clearly about the anatomical structure of snakes. They’re nothing frightening.”
“That’s good! Let’s wait for the great show we’re going to see tonight!”
