Forced to Date a Big Shot

Thor was very agitated and looked earnestly at Xue Xi. He had already seen the CCTV footage. The person in front of him was his Goddess of Wisdom.

Thor was so excited that his hands were trembling. He wanted to go up and speak to her, so he took two steps toward her—but he did not expect to be stopped by Liang Gan.

She was afraid that after Thor went over, Xie Yingying and Xue Xi would be thick-skinned enough to greet them. When the time came, even if she did not want to introduce them, she would still have to do so in front of so many people. But she did not want Xie Yingying and Xue Xi to take advantage of her at all.

Hence, Liang Gan said, “Professor, it’s best if you don’t go greet them. What if the students see you and become agitated, affecting their mood during the examination?”

Professor Thor was stunned.

Yes, he came to find the goddess not to affect her examination, so Thor smiled. “Okay, then we’ll wait for you guys to finish!”

Liang Gan nodded.

In the distance, everyone looked at Professor Thor eagerly. They thought that he would come over and say something, but they did not expect that after Liang Gan said something, Professor Thor would actually sit in a distant position with Liang Gan.

Xie Yingying secretly sized up Thor and said to Xue Xi, “Sister Xi, I think this professor is old since his hands are trembling. Could it be Parkinson?”

Xue Xi: “…”

She did not speak, but Xie Yingying, who was already used to it, continued, “Moreover, I saw him staring at me just now. I don’t know if it’s just my imagination!”

“…”

“The professor and Liang Gan sat down together. The two of them seem to have a good relationship as they chat. Is Liang Gan’s relationship network that big? But that’s true. Back then, she was only one point short of full marks! Sigh, to tell you the truth, I actually envy her quite a bit. After all, she’s really formidable. There are so many people who participated in the IMO. Which of them was accepted by Scanford University?”

While Xie Yingying was nagging, Xue Xi retracted her gaze from Thor. For some unknown reason, she felt that Thor had been looking at her just now.

Perhaps this red hair was too eye-catching.

…

Although the International Math Olympiad was a competition, it was also an examination. Hence, there were six examination halls for the students from so many countries. The six of them would be separated.

During the examination period, no one would enter the examination hall to interfere. However, there was a huge screen in the lounge that was reserved for the accompanying teachers and the leading teachers. They could clearly see everything in the six examination halls.

Thor said to Liang Gan that he wanted to sit with her because he wanted to sit in China’s resting area and understand his Goddess of Wisdom.

Now was the time for the examination candidates to enter one by one. As the teacher-in-charge, Liang Gan arranged for the students to enter the examination hall.

The IMO competition had already attracted more and more attention. Hence, when the examination candidates entered, there were some interested people surrounding them.

There were also the students who were treated as celebrities. There were people who’d formed a support group and followed these candidates as they entered.

The examination hall this year was in Country M, so the examination candidates from Country M were sent over by local students or fans. They were like a cheer squad at the entrance, making Xie Yingying’s eyes burn.

Xie Yingying could not help but say, “We didn’t make it in time. If we were to hold an IMO in China, we would definitely have many fans! Unfortunately, we’re in a foreign country, and it’s impossible for there to be a cheer squad here to cheer us on.”

Almost as soon as she said this, she heard a series of cheers coming from outside.

Xie Yingying looked over curiously.

Just as Xue Xi was seriously queuing, she suddenly heard Xie Yingying take a deep breath. Immediately, she pushed her shoulders and stuttered, “Hurry, look!”

Xue Xi looked up blankly. What are you looking at? Following her line of sight—

Xue Xi was stunned.

Outside the examination hall, there was a yellow line that prevented unrelated people from entering. The students who had just come to send off the examination candidates were all standing there. She had taken a look just now and saw that they were all Westerners.

However, looking at it now—among either gold or yellow hair, that patch of red was so dazzling. They had the faces of Asians, and eight people had come.

The eight of them squeezed in the crowd, especially between the Westerners. They were all tall, but these people did not seem short. Moreover, the eight of them were holding a few light sticks.

Xie Yingying sighed. “Are they our fans or classmates? They actually traveled all the way here to cheer for us! That’s awesome! Whose is it? Li Xuekai’s?”

After all, Li Xuekai had a fanbase in the country. There were 100,000 people following him on Weibo!

However, why were their hair so strange?

Xie Yingying turned to look at Xue Xi.

Xue Xi was already stunned. Just as she turned to look, she heard Flame Number One shout, “One, two!”

As soon as he said this, the eight of them lined up and suddenly pulled up a banner. They even read the words on the banner loudly:

“Xue Xi’s grades are the best in the world!”

“We’ll definitely get the gold medal. Hurry up and come home!”

After shouting it once, they shouted it a few more times!

Their voices were neat and deafening. The eight of them shouted with the aura of eighty people. It shocked the Westerners who came to send their classmates off. They were all stunned and looked at them in shock.

Xue Xi was also stunned.

Actually, she had grown up in an orphanage and did not have much contact with others. All told, she only had one friend, Ji Silin.

After returning to the Xue family, other than Ye Li and Xue Sheng, there was only this group of people from the Roaring Flame Society. Actually, until now, other than Little Flame and the chatterbox’s names, she had not even paid attention to Flame Number One to Number Seven’s names.

Moreover, in a foreign country, she did not know what others felt. She did not feel anything. After all, Xiang Huai was accompanying her, and she had always been slow to react and could not feel anything.

However, at this moment, as she looked at those familiar faces, she felt an extreme shock.

She felt as though there was a mist in her eyes that was about to condense.

She blinked and wiped away the tears in her eyes. Just as she was about to walk over, the competition started.

Xie Yingying grabbed her arm. “Xue Xi, we’re here!”

Xue Xi paused.

Qin Shuang grinned and waved at her. “Sister Xi, hurry up and go for the examination! We’ll talk about it after the examination!”

Flame Number One also waved his light stick. “Get full marks!”

Everyone: “… ”

Seeing this, Xue Xi waved and entered the examination hall.

During the examination, Liang Gan accompanied Thor to watch the examination hall in the lounge.

Four and a half hours passed in the blink of an eye. After the examination, Liang Gan was about to say something when he saw Thor suddenly stand up and walk toward the entrance of the examination hall.
