Chapter 34 Chapter 34
"Ah! Thank you!" Fiona exclaimed.
Under the street lights, Song Lingxi felt the impact of Xie Tuoxue's face for the first time. As long as he looked at him, his eyes were firmly attracted by his face. He must be of some exotic descent, with deep and charming eyebrows and eyes, and a superior nose bridge. Therefore, no matter whether it is judged by Chinese or Western aesthetics, he can be called a god.
A gust of wind blew by, and the scattered hair on Xie Xue's forehead brushed his eyebrows. He smiled slightly and took the initiative to greet Song Lingxi and Fiona: "Hi, how are you."
Fiona was indeed a social toughie. Seeing Xie Tuxue take the initiative to say hello, she forgot the embarrassment just now and took the opportunity to introduce herself: "Hello, my name is Fiona, I'm from S University next door. My Chinese name is Feng Yanqi, which means Hongfeng Feng family in China. We've met at a banquet before."
After Fiona finished speaking, she looked at Xie Tuxue expectantly. Seeing that he didn't think of her but looked at Song Lingxi beside him, Fiona felt annoyed for Song Lingxi, but she immediately felt that she shouldn't think like that, and quickly said, "This is my roommate Song Lingxi, who also studies at S University."
"Hello." Song Lingxi and Xie Xuexue's eyes met, and neither of them looked away first. The atmosphere suddenly became a little weird.
The two people's gaze was interrupted until Zhao Xun, who was beside Xie Tuxue, spoke.
"Oh~ I know you guys!" Zhao Xun first looked at Fiona and gave her a thumbs up in praise, "The eldest daughter of Hongfeng is worthy of being the heir to the leading group in the domestic luxury goods industry. You can tell at a glance that she has good taste."
After hearing this, Fiona smiled happily and paid some attention to Zhao Xun.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Xun changed the topic and turned to Song Lingxi. His tone was excited and admiring. He even asked shyly, "I have seen the academic research popular science posts of classmate Song on the international student forum. You are the pride of us Chinese. I heard that you were invited to enter Professor Elson's laboratory, but you refused. Can I ask why?"
Song Lingxi was surprised for a moment. She didn't expect that she would be discussed in the forum and even knew that she rejected Elson.
In fact, the reason is very simple. Elson may have seen that one of her papers involved new energy concepts and wanted to recruit her. But with her research level, going to Elson's laboratory would simply help foreigners speed up in this field and would be of no benefit to her.
But Song Lingxi couldn't tell the truth. After thinking for a while, he said, "My major and interests are different from the research direction of Professor Elson's laboratory. I can't create any value if I go there."
This is not a lie. She has changed her field of study and is very interested in it.
"So that's how it is." Zhao Xun still felt a little regretful after hearing Song Lingxi's idea. After all, Professor Elson was a world-class master, and not everyone had the courage to reject him. Zhao Xun could only attribute Song Lingxi's approach to the absolute self-confidence of a genius.
Fiona watched Song Lingxi and Zhao Xun talking back and forth, while Xie Xuexue seemed silent but was actually listening attentively. Her mood suddenly became bad.
She was not stupid. Although Zhao Xun complimented her first, it was obviously a polite compliment without any sincerity. It could not be compared with his admiration for Song Lingxi.
But this difference is not due to external factors such as appearance and family background, but because of Song Lingxi's personal ability. She has no place to vent her grievances.
Zhao Xun invited the two to play together, but before Song Lingxi could answer, Fiona refused, "We have to go find some friends first, so we won't be playing together for the time being."
Zhao Xun shrugged: "Okay."
Xie Xue nodded: "Goodbye."
After the two of them left, Fiona stared at Song Lingxi and said sourly, "Why did you stare at Xie Xuexue for so long just now?"
Song Lingxi became thoughtful after hearing Fiona's question. She never looked away when she met someone's eyes. This was also the case with Xie Xuexue, which showed that she was determined and not the kind of person who would just follow the crowd.
Song Lingxi: "No reason. By the way, he was the first to look away."
Based on a strange desire to win.
Fiona was confused: "Huh?"
Song Lingxi: "Nothing, let's go, aren't you going to introduce your friends to me?"
Fiona pouted and asked bluntly, "Are you attracted to Xie Tuxue?"
Song Lingxi: “???”
She looked at Fiona with difficulty, "Are you really the heir to the family business?" Why are you so obsessed with love? Who would fall in love with someone after just one meeting?
Fiona said aggrievedly, "I'm smart, okay?! Don't think I don't know you're bullying me in your heart. My grades in my major courses are just as good as ever! But Xie Tuxue is different."
Song Lingxi almost laughed out loud, "Okay, I was wrong."
Fiona: "..." So you really are cricketing me in your heart!
After entering the villa, Fiona quickly took Song Lingxi to find her friend and introduced the two parties to each other.
"This is my roommate Song Lingxi. She is a celebrity in S University." Fiona is still very proud of her roommate Song Lingxi.
Then she introduced several of her friends to Song Lingxi one by one.
There were both men and women among them, all dressed respectably, with the calmness and nonchalant superiority of wealthy people on their faces. When they saw Song Lingxi, they were stunned for a long time before they came to their senses.
After hearing Song Lingxi's name, two or three people showed surprise and gestured in a friendly manner, while the rest showed a hint of disdain on their faces.
This is normal. When Fiona introduced Song Lingxi, she did not tell her family background, which means that she is of ordinary status and there is nothing to say.
The rich look down on the nouveau riche and ordinary people, the powerful look down on the rich and the nouveau riche. Scientists are independent of this logic, but it also depends on the situation.
Song Lingxi's reputation as a genius is well known, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that she will achieve extraordinary success in the future. Those who are friendly to her want to develop connections for the future, while those who look down on her think that the future will change too much and no one can predict what will happen. But now Song Lingxi is just a poor guy who was brought into their circle.
Fiona looked very unhappy when she saw this. She was the one who brought Song Lingxi here. These people did not give Song Lingxi a good face, which meant they did not give face to her, Fiona. This made her feel embarrassed in front of Song Lingxi.
She turned to look at Song Lingxi and found that her expression was also very ugly, and thought to herself, it's bad.
Song Lingxi: "I need to go to the bathroom. Excuse me, everyone."
"Oh, okay, do you want me to go with you?" Fiona said embarrassedly. She thought Song Lingxi was angry.
"No."
Song Lingxi smiled at Fiona and left quickly.
On the second floor, Zhao Xun, Xie Tuxue, and the owner of the villa leaned against the railing and watched everything. After waiting for Song Lingxi to leave, Zhao Xun sighed, "What a short-sighted guy."
The villa owner said with interest, "Oh," "Do you know that beautiful lady?"
Zhao Xun said succinctly: "Originally I knew her, but she didn't know me. Tonight she just got to know me... and Brother Xue."
The villa owner looked at Xie Xuexue who had been playing with the silver pistol and said, "No wonder you two insisted on coming here. It turns out you have other intentions."
Xie Xue curled up the corners of her mouth, with a hint of evil on her face.
If Fiona and Song Lingxi were here, they would find that Xie Xuexue's temperament at this moment was very different from before.
"I have something to do, you guys have fun." After saying that, Xie Xue put away her gun and left.
…
Only when he was far away from Fiona's friends did Song Lingxi loosen his clenched teeth and curse, "Your master!"
Just now, when Fiona introduced one of the men to Song Lingxi, her heartbeat suddenly accelerated and she felt inexplicably hot and irritable. For a moment, she wanted to throw herself on that man.
It was as if a voice told her that this man was really good.
God knows she didn’t even see the man’s face clearly!
If Song Lingxi guessed correctly, this man should be her cheap husband in the plot, and her uncontrollable physiological reactions just now were all manipulated by the plot.
Thinking of this, Song Lingxi felt very unlucky. She came here to relax, but ended up bringing herself to this place by accident.
After the unspeakable feeling in her body disappeared, Song Lingxi came out of the bathroom. Unexpectedly, just after turning the corner, she was face to face with the man who made her lose her composure.
When the man saw Song Lingxi, his eyes lit up and he smiled in a reserved manner, "Miss Song, what a coincidence, we meet again."
Song Lingxi: “…”
Heat rose from her lower abdomen. Perhaps it was because she was too close. A stronger feeling of emptiness and itchiness than before swept over her whole body. Song Lingxi did not dare to retreat a single step, because she found that as long as her lower body moved slightly, a bigger wave would come. She was afraid that she would not be able to control herself then.
"Ms. Song, what's wrong with you? Why is your face so red?" The man obviously noticed Song Lingxi's abnormality and asked with concern, "Are you feeling unwell?"
"Shut up! Back off!" Song Lingxi spoke each word with difficulty. Then she took out a pocket knife from her handbag and stabbed it into her thigh quickly and accurately. Pain came instantly.
The man widened his eyes in disbelief and stood there in a daze.
The pain temporarily unblocked Song Lingxi. She quickly stepped back and turned to leave. This action also made the man opposite her come to his senses. He caught up with Song Lingxi and wanted to check her wound. "Miss Song, you are bleeding a lot. I will take you to get bandaged."
As soon as he got close, the pain could no longer suppress another feeling in his body. Song Lingxi wanted to kill him: "Get lost! Don't touch me!"
"Okay, okay, I won't touch you." This man had a good temper and was in a stable mood. He was not scared by Song Lingxi stabbing him with a knife. He was not even angry when Song Lingxi told him to get lost. Instead, he was worried that Song Lingxi would get hurt.
"How about this, I won't touch you, and you don't move either. If you move, you'll bleed. I'll go get Fiona to bandage you. Can you wait here?"
Song Lingxi nodded in agreement. The man breathed a sigh of relief and ran to find Fiona, looking back from time to time to check on Song Lingxi's condition.
After the man disappeared, Song Lingxi leaned against the wall, and the next second she stood up again. Not running? Only a fool would not run.
Dragging her bleeding leg, Song Lingxi limped out and came to the gate of the villa's back garden. She took out her cell phone and called Fiona, wanting to borrow her car to go back first.
"Ms. Song, so you are here." A casual voice sounded. Song Lingxi looked and saw that it was another friend of Fiona. However, he was one of those people who looked down on Song Lingxi. His name seemed to be Tian Zheng.
"I fell in love with Miss Song at first sight. I wonder if Miss Song is interested in being my friend?" He blinked as he said this, and it was obvious that this friend was not a normal friend.
There was no light in the back garden, and Song Lingxi was standing in the dark. The man only recognized Song Lingxi from her figure, but did not see Song Lingxi's bleeding thigh, so he spoke in a teasing tone.
"I'm not interested. Get lost." Song Lingxi was already impatient. She felt like she was in trouble tonight, encountering one lunatic after another.
"You!" A flash of arrogance flashed across Tian Zheng's not-so-handsome face. "Don't be shameless. Who do you think you are? You..."
Song Lingxi sneered and walked up the stairs from the darkness. The light in the room shone on Song Lingxi. Her silver dress with unique texture was stained with blood. Her long hair, which was tied up with a headband, fell loose when she walked up the stairs. Her face was pale, her expression was gloomy, and her lips were red like blood, just like the pure and gorgeous female ghost in the novel.
Tian Zheng first stared at Song Lingxi in a lustful and infatuated manner, but when he came to his senses, he was shocked. What frightened him the most was that Song Lingxi was holding a bloody knife in his hand!
"You, you, you, what do you want to do!"
Song Lingxi smiled sinisterly, "What do you think?"
Tian Zheng's scalp was numb. He was not afraid of anything except ghosts. He subconsciously shouted, "Ghost!"
After yelling, he felt embarrassed. With a twisted expression, he pushed Song Lingxi aside and walked towards the lighted villa, cursing, "What a bad luck! I met a psychopath."
Song Lingxi looked at the dark back garden, turned around and followed Tian Zheng.
Tian Zheng: “…”
"Why are you following me?" Tian Zheng asked angrily.
"I want to be friends with you." Song Lingxi said in a dark voice, making the slightly deserted corridor seem particularly eerie.
"..." Tian Zheng completely lost his temper. While Song Lingxi was talking, he raised his feet and ran away.
Song Lingxi sighed and walked to the window to take a breath. At this time, a slender and beautiful hand with distinct joints handed her a handkerchief.
"You're bleeding."
