Chapter 3 The Noble Academy Substitute (3) It seems I really don't understand him...
Chapter Three
Xia Zhi didn't ask them anything; instead, she was focused on catching up on her sleep.
Xie Yi looked up at Xia Zhi and asked, "Aren't you curious about where our old haunt is?"
Xia Zhi shook her head, then half-jokingly said, "It might be a bar."
Xie Yi smiled and shook her head, but did not explain further.
Xia Zhi said slowly, "I'm going to my dorm to catch up on some sleep. You guys have fun."
Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly bumped into a man. Xia Zhi looked up in confusion, then met Meng Ziyue's inscrutable eyes.
Xia Zhi smiled instinctively and said, "Zi Yue is here."
Meng Ziyue subtly adjusted his glasses. "They told me to go to the usual place."
Xia Zhi nodded and casually said, "You guys go ahead, I need to rest."
Meng Ziyue stared at Xia Zhi, remaining silent for a long time. He suddenly stopped Xia Zhi, ignoring the surprised looks from the two people behind him.
Xia Zhi looked puzzled. "What's wrong?"
Meng Ziyue said calmly, "You really don't want to go to our usual spot with us again?"
"Ziyue." Xie Yi's face was unusually cold, clearly indicating that she disagreed with Meng Ziyue's words.
Xia Zhi then belatedly realized that the three of them were particularly interested in this old spot. She tilted her head slightly, somewhat puzzled, and asked, "Old spot? Do I really need to know?"
Before Meng Ziyue could speak, Xu Yu said calmly, "Ziyue, are you saying you're not curious?"
Because they often went to their so-called "old haunts," and Xia Zhi never questioned it.
Xia Zhi smiled and shook her head, "It's okay, that's your three men's secret base, you can go by yourselves."
Meng Ziyue fell silent. He watched Xia Zhi's departing figure, then sneered. It wasn't that she wasn't curious about their 'old haunt,' but rather that she didn't care about their affairs at all.

After greeting the younger students outside, Xia Zhi quickly returned to her dormitory. She lay on her bed and slowly closed her eyes.
[Zhizhi! You need to try your best to make the plot more normal!]
Xia Zhi replied absentmindedly, "Okay, I'm off work now. Let me rest for a while!"
[...]
Xia Zhi drifted off to sleep in bed, only to belatedly open her eyes when a gentle evening breeze brushed against her face.
Is it already evening? Xia Zhi looked out the window, seemingly lost in thought.
Although the female lead and the male leads have already met for the first time, it's uncertain whether the subsequent plot will follow the original trajectory.
All she could do was try her best.
The next day, as dawn broke, Xia Zhi quickly packed her things and prepared to go to school. She had been sending out resumes for the past few days because she was about to start looking for an internship.
After a quick wash and makeup, she grabbed her bag and headed to school.
She lives alone now. Although the dormitories for the special talent class are usually shared by two people, Xie Yi insisted on giving her a private room. Xia Zhi was very grateful. Since she was going to be disliked anyway, she might as well enjoy it while she could.
She was in the special talent class, where courses were shared between departments and classes. Because there were only four people in the special talent class, Xia Zhi usually had less time to deal with interpersonal relationships.
Besides her, there is one boy and two girls in the special talent class.
The boy's name is Lin Qing, and the two girls' names are Cong Yi and Xu Xi.
As Xia Zhi walked over, she heard Xu Xi laugh and say, "Zhi Zhi! You're about to start your internship! Have you submitted your resume yet?"
Xia Zhi laughed and said, "Of course we voted, what about you guys?"
Xu Xi nodded, "Of course I invested. I invested in the company Muyan."
Eye Company?
Xia Zhi asked instinctively, "What does it do?"
Xu Xi laughed and said, "It's a company that incubates internet celebrities. The company's boss is from the Xie family. Didn't you know?"
Xia Zhi was slightly taken aback; she really didn't know.
Seeing her bewildered expression, Xu Xi was genuinely shocked and asked, "You're so close to Xie Yi, didn't you know?"
Xia Zhi tried hard to recall. Although she was now their ideal woman, it seemed that Xia Zhi really didn't understand them...
Xia Zhi had never heard Xie Yi mention the company he owned.
Xia Zhi sighed silently in her heart, then quickly lowered her head. "I've invested in a few other companies."
Cong Yi blinked her eyes. "Zhizhi, with your connections, you can go to any company you want."
Connections?
Xia Zhi belatedly realized that Cong Yi was referring to the three of them, but she was told to go and beg the three of them...
She was genuinely a little unaccustomed to it, so she shook her head, "No need."
Lin Qing looked at Xia Zhi, and after a long while, she asked in confusion, "Zhizhi, didn't they mention the internship to you?"
Noticing Xia Zhi's slightly confused expression, Lin Qing smiled with satisfaction. He liked Xia Zhi, but ever since he was threatened by them, he had been terrified of having any contact with her.
However, he is still very good at sowing discord with words.
Strangely, Xia Zhi didn't show any anger on her face. Instead, she was quite calm, saying, "Maybe they've forgotten."
Lin Qing gave Xia Zhi a strange look. He really didn't believe he had forgotten her. He would never forget Xie Yi's condescending disdain when he confessed his feelings for Xia Zhi: "You?"
In that instant, he felt an unprecedented sense of inferiority.
However… the more he looked at it, the clearer it became to him that Xia Zhi didn't like any of the three of them. So, in a way, what was the point of having so many people if they couldn't have the one they loved?
Xia Zhi sat down gently next to Lin Qing, and just as she was about to start a conversation with Lin Qing, Lin Qing suddenly stood up in a panic, "I'll go sit in the back."
Xia Zhi found it a bit strange, but Lin Qing just kept saying that she liked sitting alone.
Xia Zhi didn't think much of it and sat quietly in her seat.
Soon, the teacher came in to start the class. Today's classroom was in the same spot as always. The course was psychology, and the teacher spoke eloquently. After finishing the lecture, the teacher casually asked them about their internships.
The other three have all found internships, but the most outstanding Xia Zhi has not yet found one.
The teacher nodded. "Xia Zhi, you need to pay more attention."
Xia Zhi smiled and nodded, but she felt increasingly frustrated. She had actually applied to several companies, but when it came to the interview, they always found various excuses to reject her.
Because she was already a senior, she didn't have many classes, and her morning classes were over.
Xia Zhi planned to go to the cafeteria for lunch, but suddenly received a call from Xie Yi.
Xia Zhi answered the phone, "Zhi Zhi, do you want to have lunch together?"
Xia Zhi sighed helplessly, "Alright, where are you?"
Xie Yi gave an address, and Xia Zhi knew it was another villa for the three of them, so she sighed softly.
Although everyone knows that her existence is special, she is actually thinking about a saying: "The higher you stand, the harder you fall."
She didn't want the process to be too long, so she thought it better to protect the female lead sooner, fake her death sooner, and leave this world sooner.
According to System Xiaoqi, her supposed death occurred on the day of her graduation photo shoot, due to an unexpected car accident.
In the original storyline, she had already been rejected by the male leads, and the female lead had successfully replaced her.
Xia Zhi once asked System Xiao Qi, "If the female lead replaces me earlier, can her fake death happen sooner?"
At the time, System Xiaoqi replied: It's possible.
Although the answer was somewhat ambiguous, Xia Zhi still decided to give it a try.
She called Lin Yue, and the call was answered quickly.
Lin Yue asked excitedly, "Senior! What's wrong?"
Xia Zhi smiled and said, "Yueyue, would you like to have lunch together?"
Lin Yue immediately replied, "Okay! Senior! Where are you now?!"
Lin Yue did indeed like Xia Zhi, so she smiled after agreeing to her request. However, she quickly realized a serious problem: they had warned her before to stay away from Xia Zhi!
Lin Yue had no power or influence and was completely unable to contend with them!
Just as Lin Yue was wondering how to decline Xia Zhi's invitation, Xia Zhi walked over and said, "Yueyue! Good afternoon!"
Lin Yue: ...Senior, you arrived way too fast!
Seeing Lin Yue's uneasy expression, Xia Zhi gritted her teeth and said, "Yueyue, I'll take you to eat."
If their storyline involves physical and emotional torment, then Xia Zhi can only try her best to bring them together. Anyway, Lin Yue will receive unprecedented favor in the future, so there's no need to feel sorry for her for this moment.
Lin Yue nodded and followed Xia Zhi, but as they walked, she asked curiously, "Senior, aren't we going to eat in the cafeteria?"
Xia Zhi shook her head. "Let's go eat somewhere else."
Lin Yue had a bad feeling, and soon that feeling came true. She instinctively looked at the villa, and then a look of horror appeared on her face.
This...this is the villa that the upperclassmen said you should never just walk into!
There seem to be some very important people in there!
Lin Yue subconsciously tugged at Xia Zhi's sleeve, "Senior, it's scary here, there are monsters..."
Xia Zhi turned her head slightly, just about to speak, when she suddenly heard a leisurely voice, "What monster?"
Lin Yue's heart was in her throat. She stared in disbelief at the table laden with luxurious food. The three people already seated at the table were clearly from a different world; they wore expensive clothes and had cold, unwelcoming eyes.
Lin Yue cried silently in her heart. Senior! Aren't you hurting her?!
Xia Zhi smiled and said, "I brought a friend of mine. You don't mind, do you?"
friend?
This is the first time I've met such a 'special' friend as Xia Zhi.
Xie Yi casually put one hand in his pocket and said with a smile, "This is the first time I've seen you have such a special friend."
Lin Yue: ...wuwuwuwu.
Xia Zhi, however, was completely unaware of this. "Didn't you two meet before?"
Xia Zhi looked at Xie Yi expectantly, and Xie Yi, looking at her beautiful face, involuntarily swallowed. Then he nodded, "Yes, I've met her once."
His gaze fell on Lin Yue with a cold indifference and a lack of real feeling.
Xia Zhi said, "Alright, let's eat together."
Xie Yi nodded, "Okay."
He wanted to see what Xia Zhi was really up to, and why Lin Yue was so special.
