Chapter 378: We Are in Love

Everyone in the dormitory was stunned.

Xie Yingying stuck out her small head from the bed and secretly looked at the balcony. Was Sister Xi planning to make it public?

Meanwhile, Li Zixia instantly turned around. Her face was covered in a beautiful white mask. She had been sunbathing for a day and was currently undergoing restoration. At this moment, she was giving her face a massage. She stopped and pricked up her ears.

Liu Zhao was even more stunned.

At this moment, although Xue Xi’s tone was very calm, Liu Zhao could feel a sense of oppression. She said softly, “No, I don’t intend to make light of it. I…”

“I’m not joking.”

Xue Xi interrupted her and said impatiently, “I was flirting with him.”

“…”

Xie Yingying retracted her head and fell on the bed. Sister Xi was really going to tell the truth.

Li Zixia: “Pfft!”

She almost blew off the mask on her face and looked at Xue Xi in shock. “Sister Xi, you even know how to joke?”

Liu Zhao did not believe it, but she did not speak.

Seeing their reactions, Xue Xi asked, “You don’t believe me?”

Xie Yingying: “I believe you!”

She really believed it.

Li Zixia: “…Yes.”

Looking at Sister Xi, did she dare to say that she did not believe it?

Liu Zhao: “I believe it too.”

There was a look of understanding in her eyes. Since Xue Xi said this, she definitely did not want everyone to laugh at her. It was just like how Liu Zhao would not tell others that her family was very poor.

Seeing that they had all replied, Xue Xi did not speak further and returned to her room.

After lying on the bed, she saw Xiang Huai’s message: “What are you going to do?”

Xue Xi thought about it and replied: “I’ll do as I please.”

Xiang Huai: “…”

Xue Xi threw her phone aside and closed her eyes.

Actually, she could cause Liu Zhao to be late tomorrow and let her have a taste of being punished to stand. However, if she did that, wouldn’t she become someone like Liu Zhao?

Moreover, such an insignificant payback was meaningless.

She must strike where it hurt the most.

…

The next day, during military training, Xue Xi returned to the team.

After being educated by Xiang Huai for the whole night, Instructor Li’s entire body was aching, but he still did his best to teach the class. Moreover, because he had misunderstood Xue Xi yesterday, he was exceptionally easy with her today.

He had corrected the military postures yesterday and practiced walking upright today, making it easier for them to walk in a square formation later.

During this military training, they would usually practice their actions.

When Instructor Li shouted “one,” everyone had to take a step forward and stretch out their hands. In order to make everyone’s legs and hands reach the same height, this action would be paused. It was even more tiring than the first day’s military training.

“One, two, one! One, two, one!”

After practicing a few times, almost everyone had it.

Instructor Li especially praised Xue Xi. “Xue Xi’s posture is very standard. Just do it according to her example.”

“Yes!”

When everyone replied “yes,” Xue Xi shot a glance at Liu Zhao. She was practicing very seriously.

When Instructor Li asked everyone to rest, Li Zixia waved her arms and legs and complained, “I’m really too tired!”

Xie Yingying nodded and drank her water.

Xue Xi also drank two mouthfuls of water. At this moment, the rest of the students in the class surrounded her and looked at her curiously. “Xue Xi, why did Instructor Xiang take you away yesterday?”

Xue Xi did not intend to hide it from everyone, but she did not intend to show it off either. She acted as though she was very special and said, “Nothing.”

“How can it be nothing? You’ve been called away for an entire day and everyone was concerned about you. I heard that Instructor Xiang is very strict. It’s said that he will even punish the soldiers under him. Xue Xi, you didn’t get beaten up, right?”

Xue Xi shook her head. “No.”

Xie Yingying stood up and said, “Sister Xi, do you want to go to the washroom?”

Xue Xi knew that Xie Yingying was helping her leave this place, so she nodded. “Okay.”

When the two of them went to the washroom, everyone surrounded Li Zixia and Liu Zhao.

Li Zixia did not say anything. “Sister Xi already said that it’s nothing, so why are you guys still asking non-stop? Moreover, look at Sister Xi. Does she look like she’s been punished? Our backs are all aching, but we’ve never heard Sister Xi cry out in pain!”

Everyone stuck out their tongues.

However, there were still people who could not help but ask, “I think she’s holding it in. How pitiful. She must have been reprimanded for a day after being called away. Everyone, stop asking. It must not be a good memory.”

Just as she said this, Liu Zhao said, “How can that be? Xue Xi went there to flirt!”

Her words silenced the entire field.

After a while, someone sneered. “Liu Zhao, what nonsense are you spouting?”

Liu Zhao seemed to be extremely anxious and hurriedly explained, “No, this is what Xue Xi said yesterday. It must be that Instructor Xiang likes her…”

Before she could finish speaking, Li Zixia grabbed her arm and smiled awkwardly. “She was just joking.”

She then dragged Liu Zhao to the side.

Everyone started discussing. The students who were originally concerned about her could not help but say sourly, “Isn’t Xue Xi too narcissistic? She is good-looking, but can Instructor Xiang fall in love with her at first sight? Isn’t that just a lie?”

“She is very arrogant, but she is indeed good-looking!”

“So what? Does she think that she’s worth money and that everyone likes her? Does she think that just because she’s a beauty, everyone will like her? Doesn’t He Gao dislike her type?”

“…”

Xue Xi had red hair and was eye-catching. She did not seem to fit in with the crowd. Liu Zhao’s words made the students in the class feel that she was a narcissistic person.

Moreover, Instructor Xiang was so handsome. He had only been here for a day and had already gained many fangirls. How could everyone accept that he liked Xue Xi?

Hence, when Xue Xi returned from the washroom, the concern these people had for her had changed. Some were doubtful while others believed it.

However, most of them asked, “Xue Xi, just now, Liu Zhao said that you went to flirt with Instructor Xiang yesterday. Is that true?”

“Does Instructor Xiang really like you?”

Xue Xi paused. Before she could speak, Li Zixia hurriedly waved her hand and said, “It was just a joke just now. Why did you guys take it seriously?”

She could not let such words reach Instructor Xiang’s ears. Otherwise, Sister Xi would be finished!

The person beside her said, “How is it a joke? Liu Zhao, tell me, was it a joke?”

Liu Zhao, who had been named, put on a timid expression. She looked at Xue Xi and said, “Xue Xi, I-I didn’t know that you were joking. I thought it was real, so I said it in a moment of panic. I didn’t do it on purpose…”

She felt that after saying this, Xue Xi would definitely become the public enemy, but she did not expect—
