Chapter 125 She is going to dig a grave
Lin Xi sensed reluctance and inferiority in Yang Shuyi's words, so she quickly changed the subject. "Oh, I've never seen this kind of strawberry before. Why is it white? Is it sweet? Shuyi, I ate it."
Li Xiaoqiu glanced at Lin Xi and said, "You are really good at lying. I clearly saw two boxes in your refrigerator last time."
Yang Shuyi's expression softened a bit. "Eat it, it's all clean."
It’s hard to say whether it’s clean or not.
The strawberry packaging was still there, with the price tag still attached. There were only a few strawberries in the box, and the price tag was one hundred and ninety-eight.
Lin Xi tore off the plastic wrap in two strokes, picked up one and started eating, and handed one to Chen Qianyu.
Chen Qianyu took a bite and said to Yang Shuyi as if to make amends, "Shuyi, thank you, this strawberry is so sweet."
She even sighed exaggeratedly, "I wish I had such a rich relative."
Li Xiaoqiu asked curiously, "Shuyi, who are your relatives?"
Yang Shuyi gave a disguising smile, "I'd better not say anything. You'll know later."
Her expression had returned to normal, but she had secretly made up her mind and was more determined on the path she wanted to take. One day, she would make everyone look at her with admiration.
She could even imagine the fawning and flattering looks they would show her when the time came.
Just like how Chen Qianyu and Li Xiaoqiu are looking at Lin Xi now.
When that day really comes, it won’t matter what someone like Lin Xi who has a little money does.
The next day at noon, Lin Xi and Li Xiaoqiu had lunch in the cafeteria. Just as they were about to return to the dormitory, a girl stopped her at the cafeteria door and glanced at her, "Are you Lin Xi?"
Lin Xi saw that the girl was a bit mature, no less than 25 years old, but she didn't look like a teacher. She nodded slightly and said, "Hello, senior sister, what can I do for you?"
The girl said calmly, "My name is Fang Han, and I'm a doctoral student under Dean Xu."
"President Xu asked you to pack your bags and leave with us at two o'clock. We're building a road outside Beijing and have discovered a site. President Xu is leading a team to survey and excavate it, and he wants you to come along."
"Also, Dean Xu asked you to bring your textbooks and take time to study."
Lin Xi was a little surprised. Just as she was about to say something, Fang Han said calmly, "Dean Xu has already informed your homeroom teacher. You don't have to worry about attendance."
Lin Xi nodded, "Okay, Senior Fang, where shall we meet at two o'clock?"
Fang Han threw down a sentence, "South gate of the school," and left.
After Fang Han left, Li Xiaoqiu touched Lin Xi's arm and said, "Senior Fang seems a bit arrogant."
Lin Xi smiled and said, "She is a doctoral student supervised by Dean Xu himself, so it's normal for her to be arrogant."
"Hurry up, hurry up, it's almost one o'clock, I have to go back and pack my things."
Lin Xi returned to the dormitory and stuffed clothes and books into the suitcase.
Chen Qianyu and Yang Shuyi also came back one after another. Yang Shuyi saw her packing her luggage and asked, "Why, are you going to shoot a commercial again?"
Li Xiaoqiu chuckled and answered for Lin Xi, "It's not a commercial, Lin Xi is going to dig a grave."
In Li Xiaoqiu's mind, archaeology means digging graves.
Lin Xi turned around and corrected, "It didn't say it was a cemetery, maybe it was some other ruins."
Yang Shuyi was surprised and said, "No way, isn't field archaeology internship only available in junior year?"
After she finished speaking, she suddenly laughed at herself, "I forgot, you are different from us."
Having been admitted to the Archaeology Department with a score close to full marks, Lin Xi was the darling of all the teachers in the class.
In class, professors also like to interact with Lin Xi.
She is naturally different as she was transferred here.
Lin Xi could tell that Yang Shuyi's tone was a bit sour, so she didn't know what to say and just buried her head in packing her things.
She put her textbooks and the book she planned to finish reading recently in it.
Chen Qianyu came over and watched her pack up. "Did Dean Xu ask you to go?"
Lin Xi nodded.
Chen Qianyu sighed, "I realized that day that Dean Xu wrote you a list of books to cultivate you. If you go on to study for a master's or doctoral degree in the future, he will definitely be willing to personally guide you."
She squatted beside Lin Xi, holding her face, "Ahhh, I want to go too. I'm so bored at school every day. It would be nice to go out and get some fresh air."
Yang Shuyi, who was sitting behind them, suddenly said, "Don't even think about it. You're not a genius like Lin Xi. How could Dean Xu know who you are? You'd better wait until your junior year to go out for an internship."
Chen Qianyu was stunned for a moment, her face changed. She pursed her lips, looked at Yang Shuyi for a few seconds, and walked out of the dormitory holding her phone tightly.
Less than ten minutes later, Chen Qianyu came in from outside.
After coming in, she took out a suitcase and started packing.
Yang Shuyi glanced over there and sneered at the corner of her lips.
Li Xiaoqiu asked curiously, "Why are you packing up too? Where are you going?"
Chen Qianyu straightened up and glanced at Yang Shuyi, "Go with Lin Xi to participate in the excavation of the ruins."
Li Xiaoqiu asked in surprise: "You're going to dig graves too?"
"Didn't Shuyi just say..." Li Xiaoqiu stopped talking halfway. Ever since Chen Qianyu said the wrong thing yesterday, the two of them have been a little at odds. She'd better stop talking nonsense to avoid provoking conflict again.
Chen Qianyu opened the wardrobe and put clothes into the box while saying, "Excavating the ruins is nothing special. If I want to go, I can just make a phone call."
Her grandfather and Dean Xu were classmates in college. When school started, her grandfather took her to Dean Xu's house. Dean Xu paid attention to the granddaughter of his old classmate and was willing to take care of her.
After receiving Chen Qianyu's call, Dean Xu agreed.
From the day he met Lin Xi, he planned to let Lin Xi go straight to a doctorate after completing her undergraduate studies. He felt that he would retire in a few years, so he planned to make Lin Xi his last disciple.
Since his old classmate's granddaughter also wants to make progress, he must give her a chance. As for whether she can succeed, he will know by observing her slowly.
Just told Chen Qianyu not to fall behind in her studies.
Chen Qianyu's words were obviously meant for Yang Shuyi to hear.
After saying this, she continued to pay attention to Yang Shuyi's movements.
Yang Shuyi didn't think that excavating the ruins was anything special, and she even thought it was a waste of time.
In addition to studying her major, she also has to take business administration courses and strive to change her major next year. There is really not enough time.
However, there were only three people majoring in archaeology in the dormitory, and they all went except her, which made people very unhappy.
One is a genius who is favored by his teacher, while the other shows off his family connections.
Yang Shuyi was so angry that her face turned pale and she tightly gripped the pen in her hand.
Chen Qianyu packed her things very quickly. After packing her things, she proudly carried her suitcase and said, "Lin Xi, let's go. It's only twenty minutes to two o'clock. It will take more than ten minutes for us to walk to the South Gate."
