Forced to Date a Big Shot

The nerve acid separated from the instrument was a crystal clear liquid that was as pure as water.

He was stunned.

This… succeeded?!

But how could that be?! How could a high school student successfully develop nerve acid?!

Deng He gulped and felt that he must have seen wrongly.

He closed his eyes and opened them again. He saw that Xue Xi had already taken a step forward and transferred the purified nerve acid into the special test tube.

A few hundred thousands worth of materials were used to make such a small tube.

With this medicine, not to mention the cost of research and development, just the manufacturing cost was already so expensive. Hence, a mental illness could not be cured by an ordinary family!

Xue Xi sighed silently and placed the substance aside. She heaved a sigh of relief and stretched.

When she turned around, she saw Deng He looking at her as though he had seen a ghost.

Deng He gulped. “You… You really succeeded?”

Xue Xi: “… If I’m not mistaken, that should be the case.”

Deng He said, “Did you really develop the D-acid?”

Xue Xi nodded again.

Deng He asked carefully, “Can… Can I take a look at your journal?”

Usually, this kind of research and development was very confidential. He knew that the question he had raised was very over the line, but after studying it for three months and coming up with nothing, it was really too attractive to him. Moreover, looking at Xue Xi’s method, he saw that she simply used his previous method. Deng He was itching to know more. Just as he was about to swear that he would not leak it, he saw Xue Xi casually hand him the book in her hand.

Deng He: “?”

Doesn’t she know the value of the things recorded in this book?

The corners of his lips twitched as he looked down impatiently.

Basically, the steps of the research and development were about the same. However, at a certain step, Xue Xi did not use the train of thought that Ye Lai had left behind. Instead, she changed gears and solved the problem that could not be solved!

This method was simply too amazing! Why didn’t he think of it?

Deng He looked at the manual in shock. In the end, he raised his head and reluctantly returned the manual to Xue Xi. He then said, “Don’t let a third person see this manual!”

Xue Xi: “?”

Looking at Deng He, it seemed that this experiment was very important. Since he had kindly warned her, she naturally would not reject him and nodded. “Okay.”

After saying that, she recalled that they were all gathered together today and had a bitter expression on their faces. Hence, she could not help but say, “Did you guys encounter some difficult problem? If it’s about chemistry, why don’t I take a look? I’m not very knowledgeable and have just come into contact with the subject. I don’t know many things, and I don’t know if I can help. But perhaps I can give some suggestions?”

Deng He: “?”

He stared at Xue Xi in shock. “So you don’t know what we’re studying?”

Xue Xi nodded.

Deng He: “… We’re studying D-acid. This thing can effectively treat mental illnesses, and it will also help your grandfather’s condition.”

Xue Xi: “?”

She silently looked at the book in her hand and suddenly understood. Hence, she said, “What a coincidence!”

Deng He: “…”

After saying this, Xue Xi thought about it and passed the book to him. “Then you can use it!”

Deng He: “?”

He was stunned. “Aren’t you afraid that I’ll jump ship with your research results?!”

Xue Xi asked in a daze, “Are you going to do that?”

Deng He shook his head. “Of course not. How can I be that kind of person?!”

Xue Xi nodded. “Then that’s fine.”

She yawned again.

She did not rest for long this afternoon, so she was a little sleepy. She packed her bag and walked out. “I’m going to take the college entrance examination soon and won’t be coming over again, so I’ll have to trouble you with the rest.”

Deng He: “…”

Just as Xue Xi walked out, she saw Xue Sheng standing outside. He asked her, “Is it settled?”

“Done.”

Xue Sheng nodded. “Mhm. It’s just a small experiment. Why did you do it all day? Is it useful for your college entrance examination?”

Xue Xi thought for a moment. “It’s useless.”

Xue Sheng: “… Next time, don’t do such useless experiments too much. After all, the college entrance examination is coming, so it’s better to prepare well!”

“… Okay.”

Hearing their conversation, Deng He: “?”

Was it then the case that CEO Xue did not know why Missy came to the company? Did he really think that her daughter was just here for an experiment?!

The corners of his lips twitched and he could not help but say, “Isn’t Missy guaranteed admission? Why is she still taking the college entrance examination?”

Xue Xi did not speak, but Xue Sheng said, “Since she wants to take the exam, we’re letting her be.”

Deng He: “!!!!”

The students who were already admitted to a university would usually not take part in the college entrance examination. After all, they were only good at one subject and might not score well in the college entrance examination.

If other students saw that her scores were not high but she was admitted, they would definitely feel that it was unfair. Hence, it was already a tacit agreement that the early admissions students would not participate in the college entrance examination.

Xue Sheng had no idea what his daughter had done in the company. Before Deng He could say anything, Xue Sheng had already left with Xue Xi. Seeing how anxious they were, Deng He could only sigh and decide to report to CEO Xue tomorrow.

Even after this nerve acid was developed, it still had to be combined with other substances to make into a medicine. After that, it had to be tested on living things before the medicine could be released. There were indeed many more complicated matters!

…

Xue Xi had been busy the whole day. When she returned home with Xue Sheng, it was already 9:30 PM. The two of them went upstairs after dinner and Xue Xi fell asleep.

The next morning, after she had slept enough, she was full of energy. She went downstairs with Qin Shuang and the two of them carried their breakfast into the car.

As usual, Xue Xi went to the provision store for breakfast. However, when she arrived, she saw Xiang Huai changing his clothes.

He was wearing a jacket and a pair of leather boots. His entire figure suddenly became cold and domineering.

His 1.88-meter height made the entire provision store seem cramped.

He did not sit lazily behind the counter. Instead, he stood at the door as though he was waiting for her.

Xue Xi paused. For some unknown reason, she suddenly had an ominous feeling.

She did not speak and passed the breakfast to him.

Xiang Huai silently walked to the side and put down the breakfast. After arranging it, the two of them sat opposite each other and ate.

Soon, they finished their breakfast.

Xue Xi held Xiang Huai’s hand. When it was time, she stood up and was about to go to class, but before she could turn around, she heard Xiang Huai say, “Little kid.”

His voice was filled with forbearance.

Xue Xi paused and heard him say in a low voice, “I’m leaving.”
