Chapter 20 Looks Young
The tall girl was annoyed by Lin Xi's implication that she had no manners, and she started yelling, almost pointing her finger at Lin Xi's nose, "What do you mean? What the hell did you just say? Say it again!"
Lin Xi turned around, holding the book, and stared at her coldly with a pair of clear black and white almond-shaped eyes. "I'm very busy, I don't have time to chat with you."
What I mean is, go away quietly.
The tall woman clearly understood and flew into a rage, "What the hell are you so great about? If you want to read, go to the library. We're all just rough people here, stop trying to show off!"
Someone muttered in the front, "Whoever is a rough guy, don't take us with him!"
Lin Xi stared at the tall girl with cold eyes and said word by word: "Go and have fun by yourself. I don't have time to waste on you."
The tall woman was completely furious, "You are so arrogant!" She raised her hand and slapped Lin Xi.
Just as Lin Xi was about to move, she saw the tall woman's wrist being grabbed from behind.
"Who the hell is meddling in other people's business!" The tall woman turned around angrily, her expression changing instantly. She was excited but also surprised. "Qi Mo—it's you!"
Qi Mo shook off her hand and said calmly, "Did she disturb you while she was reading?"
The tall woman was stunned for a moment, "No, no."
"Then why did you steal other people's books and hit people?" Qi Mo stared at the tall woman with deep eyes, without any warmth.
The tall woman originally thought she was rational and strong, but when Qi Mo looked at her like that, she suddenly shrank back and said hesitantly, "I, I just can't stand people who put on airs like this."
Qi Mo sneered, "According to your standards, does it mean that I have to speak as rudely as you do to not be pretentious?"
The tall woman was speechless.
Qi Mo stood up and walked out, raised his chin towards the tall woman, and said, "Go sit in the back, you'll disturb her if you're here."
The tall woman looked at Qi Mo in disbelief, then turned to look at Lin Xi.
Looking at Lin Xi's fair face, pink petal-like lips, and a pair of sparkling eyes, she suddenly understood.
I secretly resented it in my heart. All men are like this. They only care about a woman's appearance and don't pay attention to her inner qualities at all!
This girl is just pretentious, but unfortunately, men just fall for it.
She didn't want to get up. If anyone wanted to get up, it should be Lin Xi. It would be perfect if she and Qi Mo sat together. But Qi Mo was staring at her with a scary look, and Lin Xi was glancing at her with the sidelong glance. The cold wind was blowing.
The tall woman stood up and walked away feeling frustrated, and Qi Mo sat down without any hesitation.
Lin Xi had recognized Qi Mo a long time ago. In recent days, the girls in their class would watch his videos as soon as the get out of class was over, and they kept talking about Qi Mo Qi Mo. She had heard so much that her ears were callused. She didn't expect that he was actually a kind-hearted young man.
She smiled and nodded at him, "Thank you."
After saying that, Lin Xi withdrew her gaze and focused her attention on the book in her hand again.
The car started at this moment.
Qi Mo glanced over and landed on Lin Xi's book. The words "Returning Home" caught his eye. He remembered that this text was from his second year of high school and he had memorized it before.
Is she really a high school student? A minor?
Qi Mo turned his head slightly and looked at Lin Xi calmly. She had fair skin that was as delicate as a baby's, chubby cheeks, and obvious baby fat, which made her look very young.
The tall woman in the back seat stretched her neck and stared at the two people in front.
She felt that it was time for Lin Xi to have a lively conversation with Qi Mo.
Isn't the reason women act pretentiously to attract men?
What surprised her was that Lin Xi was still reading with her head down, without even turning her head to the side, only occasionally looking up to look out the window.
Qi Mo didn't talk to Lin Xi either. He crossed his arms and closed his eyes.
At half past twelve, the bus stopped at a star-rated hotel.
Qi Mo got up, took his luggage and a small backpack, and was about to leave when he discovered that Lin Xi was still reading a book.
Qi Mo frowned slightly and reached out to touch Lin Xi's arm, "Don't look at it, get off the car!"
Lin Xi then turned around and found that everyone in the carriage had stood up. She quickly packed up her books and followed Qi Mo out of the car.
There were more than a hundred people crowded in the hotel lobby, making it very noisy.
The staff was handing out room cards. It was a standard room for two people, and those whose names were called came forward to get the room card.
Lin Xi pricked up her ears and waited for a long time before finally hearing her name, "Lin Xi - 902."
"Yang Ping—902."
Lin Xi walked towards the staff, and at the same time, she saw the tall woman also walking towards her.
She frowned slightly and walked over to the staff. Just as she was about to ask if she could change rooms, she heard the tall woman named Yang Ping yell, "I want to change rooms. I don't want to share a room with her!"
Lin Xi smiled, said nothing, and just looked at the staff.
The staff member thought for a moment and said, "Then wait a while. There are only three female contestants in total. Can we make adjustments after the room cards are distributed?"
Yang Ping snorted without saying anything, and Lin Xi walked aside quietly.
Qi Mo lazily put his hands in his trouser pockets, stood not far away, and his eyes inadvertently fell on Lin Xi.
He heard the staff calling his name just now.
Between the two names Lin Xi and Yang Ping, he chose Lin Xi without hesitation.
He didn't know which character "Xi" it was, he just thought this name suited the girl better.
"Qi Mo—1009."
Qi Mo walked over, took the room card casually and left.
There were fewer and fewer people in the hotel lobby, and finally only three female contestants were left.
Yang Ping pointed at another girl rudely and said, "I want to share a room with her."
The girl wasn't very tall, but her muscles were very visible. She glanced at Yang Ping and said, "I don't want to live with you. I want to room with this little girl."
She was in the same car just now and saw everything Yang Ping did.
She didn't quite understand Yang Ping's train of thought. She was just reading quietly, so what was it to her?
Of course she didn't want to live with someone who liked to stir up trouble.
Yang Ping's expression suddenly changed, and after a long while she managed to utter a single word, "You——"
Lin Xi chuckled and extended her hand towards the girl, "Hello, my name is Lin Xi."
The girl also smiled at Lin Xi: "Hello, my name is Zhang Jiali."
Zhang Jiali took the room card and the two went upstairs together.
The staff member glanced at Yang Ping and said, "How about this, you can stay in the same room with me."
Lin Xi and Zhang Jiali went to the room, put down their luggage, washed their faces, and went downstairs to eat together.
The restaurant on the second floor was already full of people, and they were the last to arrive.
There were a few empty seats at the innermost table, so the two of them went over and sat down.
Zhang Jiali nudged Lin Xi and said, "I received the match schedule. Please check the information."
