Chapter 627: Too Shameless!

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of October. After a month of progress, the project suddenly entered a bottleneck period.

All the departments were unable to achieve a breakthrough according to schedule, and the entire laboratory was clearly shaken.

Xue Xi knew that every scientific research project would encounter difficulties, and this project, which was very simple for her, was very difficult for others.

However, she was only one person and could not complete so many tasks at the same time.

Even though she was already busy enough and had put in enough effort!

But Zheng Zhi was right.

This project could not be completed even in two years by just one person. It needed everyone!

After a day of calculating, Xue Xi stood up and stretched.

After staying in the laboratory for three consecutive days, she could no longer hold on without showering and decided to return to the dormitory tonight.

Just as she walked out of the laboratory building, Xiang Huai seemed to have sensed it and gave her a call.

After Xue Xi picked up, Xiang Huai’s low voice sounded. “You haven’t rested well for a few days?”

Xue Xi: “…Mhm.”

Ever since Li Xuekai’s parents’ incident, she did not dare to slow down. She wanted to finish it quickly in order to silence everyone.

She was not afraid of being discussed, but she could not let those who followed her suffer.

However, from the looks of it, the originally planned three months would probably be extended.

Firstly, in mathematics, there was a problem that the dean of Huazhong University was studying. When Li Xuekai asked the dean of Huazhong University for guidance, Professor Li Fan did not cooperate at all.

This would delay them for nearly a month.

Computers were convenient. With a robot like Yu Da around, there was no problem.

Chemistry and physics had a few problems that needed to be solved.

Just thinking about so many things gave her a headache.

“Don’t be anxious. Take it slow.”

Xiang Huai slowly said, “You can also let me help you when I get back.”

Xue Xi casually said, “What can you help with?”

However, after saying that, she suddenly recalled that Xiang Huai was also a top student in the academic world. He was also a top figure in the mathematics field.

Once he was back, he might really be able to help.

Xiang Huai did not argue with her and merely smiled. “I’ll help you in whatever you ask me to. Even if it’s just serving you tea, I’m willing to do it.”

“…”

This guy’s flirting skills were not diminished at all despite him being a thousand kilometers away.

Why was the distance a thousand kilometers? That was because Xiang Huai was currently at the border. It was said that he was going to carry out some mission.

Xiang Huai did not say what the mission was, so Xue Xi did not ask.

Anyway, this person had so many secrets.

Xue Xi blushed and said, “Don’t speak nonsense.”

The two of them chatted as she entered the dormitory. Xue Xi said, “I’m going to shower. I’ll hang up first!”

Xiang Huai sighed. “Little kid.”

Xue Xi: “Mhm?”

Xiang Huai: “I don’t have any signal here. In order to call you, I have to climb to the top of a mountain, but I can’t come every day. The next time I call could only be in three days. Can you bear to hang up?”

Xue Xi: “…Then what should we do?”

Xiang Huai: “It’s fine. You can wash up while I listen to you shower.”

Listen to you shower…

For some unknown reason, these words made Xue Xi blush. Why did this man speak in such an unruly manner?!

However, when her large eyes looked at the phone, she did not hang up. She placed it on the table and went to shower.

She would never really bring her phone into the bathroom!

When she came out of the shower, it was already 11 PM.

Xue Xi changed into her pajamas and walked out while drying her hair. Xie Yingying and Li Zixia had just entered. When they entered, their eyes narrowed when they saw her.

Li Zixia said in an astonished manner, “Sister Xi, your chest seems to have grown a little!”

Xue Xi: “?”

She widened her eyes and looked at the phone on the table.

Xie Yingying asked curiously, “Really? Really? Did Instructor Xiang touch them until they grew?”

Xue Xi: “!!”

Reacting slowly, she finally said, “Don’t speak nonsense.”

Xie Yingying smiled. “I’m not spouting nonsense. There is scientific evidence to back this up! After one falls in love, the body will secrete more female hormones. Thus, the part that belongs to a woman will grow bigger and bigger!”

Xie Yingying: “Instructor Xiang is amazing! Sister Xi, with your current figure, you’re absolutely amazing!”

Xue Xi: “…”

She covered her head and hurriedly walked to the desk. Her fingers trembled as she picked up her phone, filled with anticipation. Perhaps Xiang Huai’s signal was not good and he had already hung up.

Perhaps because he had showered for too long, Xiang Huai could not wait and had already hung up.

However, when she unlocked the phone, she realized that the call was still on.

Xue Xi: “…”

She braced herself and said, “Are you still there?”

After a moment of silence, Xiang Huai slowly said, “Mhm. The entire time.”

Xue Xi asked indifferently, “Did you hear what we said just now?”

“Which one?” Xiang Huai slowly said. “Is it about your chest that seems to have grown a little bigger? Or about how it seems to have grown because Instructor Xiang touched it? Or is it about how your friend was not spouting nonsense, there was scientific evidence to back it up! After one falls in love, the body will secrete more female hormones. Thus, the part that belongs to a woman will grow bigger and bigger! Or, perhaps, is it about how Instructor Xiang is amazing! Sister Xi, with your current figure, you’re absolutely amazing!”

Xue Xi: “?”

Can’t you just say that you heard everything?!

Why did he have to repeat everything?! How embarrassing!

Xue Xi’s face suddenly turned red. Ignoring the two girls’ shocked gazes, she said to her phone coldly, “My phone suddenly ran out of battery. I’m hanging up.”

After saying that, she was about to hang up when she heard Xiang Huai call her. “Little kid.”

Xue Xi paused and heard him continue, “Is it big enough? If not, I’ll help you when I get back.”

Xue Xi: “…!!!”

Why does he sound like a hooligan!

Ah ah ah ah ah!

Xue Xi hung up!

It was too embarrassing!

After hanging up, she turned around again and saw Li Zixia and Xie Yingying looking at her in fear. “Sister… Sister Xi, who were you on the phone with just now?”

Xue Xi: “Xiang Huai.”

The two of them: “…”

…

After returning to her long-neglected dormitory, Xue Xi had a good sleep.

However, when she arrived at the laboratory the next day, she realized that something was amiss.

Firstly, Li Xuekai, who had always come early, did not arrive until 9 AM today. Secondly, a few people from the Math Department had not come.

Just as Xue Xi was frowning, someone said, “Could they have given up?”
