Rejected by the Campus Belle, I Find My True Love-Chapter 133 - 132: Just Want to Sneak a Peek at Him
Si Wen finished this week’s homework, took out her phone, and dialed a number. Soon, the call connected.
"Hello, Miss Si Wen."
It was Auntie Shen’s voice.
"Auntie Shen, may I speak to Xiao Xi? I have something to discuss with her."
"Miss Si Wen, Chairman Lin instructed that the Young Miss is not allowed to use any communication device other than her learning tablet."
"Hmm. Is Uncle Lin home right now?"
"Chairman Lin went to America last week and hasn’t returned."
"Then that settles it. I’ll just say a few words to Xiao Xi, and you don’t have to tell Uncle Lin. Besides, even if you don’t let me talk to her now, I can still speak to her at school. He can’t possibly control what happens there, can he?"
Auntie Shen hesitated for a moment before heading to the sky garden study. Lin Xi was there, buried in her test papers. She was working with immense concentration. Upon closer inspection, her papers were exceptionally neat; each character looked as if it were written by a master, making Auntie Shen a bit reluctant to disturb her.
Just then, Lin Xi looked up at her. "Auntie Shen, is something the matter?"
"Young Miss, Miss Si Wen is calling for you."
Lin Xi furrowed her brow slightly, picked up the phone, and held it to her ear. "Si Wen, what do you need?"
"I had no choice. I couldn’t reach your cell phone, so I had to call Auntie Shen."
"Just tell me what it is."
Si Wen casually swung her long, fair, and straight legs. "Lin Xi, guess where I am right now?"
"Where?"
"I’m at the company."
Lin Xi was puzzled. "Okay, you’re at the company. So what? Why tell me?"
And she specifically called Auntie Shen’s phone just to tell me!
"Aren’t you curious about who I saw here?"
Lin Xi’s heart suddenly pounded. "Who did you see?"
"You’ve guessed it, haven’t you? Want to come over? I happen to have a problem I can’t solve, and I’d like to discuss it with you in person."
"Got it. I’ll be right there."
After hanging up, Lin Xi said to Auntie Shen, "Auntie Shen, I’m going to see Si Wen."
Auntie Shen looked troubled. "Young Miss, Chairman Lin said you’re not supposed to go out casually before the college entrance exams."
"How is seeing Si Wen ’going out casually’? She’s the top student in our grade, and I happen to have a question I don’t understand. It’s the perfect chance to ask her," Lin Xi said, picking up a practice exam paper.
"Young Miss, it’s fine for you to go discuss studies with Miss Si Wen, but you mustn’t see anyone else."
"I know."
"I’ll arrange for a driver to take you."
Lin Xi cheerfully went to change her clothes. Although she knew she couldn’t meet Xue Yang, she still put on her prettiest outfit: her exclusive Lorita-style attire. This time, it was a sky-blue ensemble. Once dressed and with matching blue-toned makeup, she truly resembled a playful elf.
Seeing her, Auntie Shen couldn’t help but exclaim, "Young Miss, you look so beautiful."
Lin Xi was truly a perfect fit for Lorita fashion. She seemed like a natural model for it, as if she were born to wear it.
Lin Xi spun around, satisfied. "As long as it looks good."
With that, she headed out the door. Outside, a limited-edition Cayenne was parked. A tall bodyguard in sunglasses immediately opened the car door the moment he saw her. Lin Xi got into the car. The bodyguard closed the door, jogged back to the driver’s seat, and got in. The car started smoothly, driving steadily and quickly toward Trendy Apparel Company.
Even in the car, Lin Xi didn’t stop studying. She stared at the notebook in her hands, silently memorizing the key information inside.
Soon, she arrived at a coffee shop in the same building as Trendy Apparel Company. Si Wen was elegantly sipping her coffee. When she saw Lin Xi push the door open, her eyes lit up. Lin Xi was incredibly beautiful today. Especially in that moment of entry, she looked just like an elf that had just stumbled into the mortal world.
"You got here quickly."
Lin Xi looked around the room and asked eagerly, "Where is Xue Yang? Where is he?"
"You’re that eager to see him?"
"..."
"If I’m not mistaken, someone gives Chairman Lin real-time reports on you, right? What do you think he would do if he found out you met with Xue Yang behind his back before the college entrance exams?"
The light in Lin Xi’s eyes gradually dimmed. "I didn’t intend to meet him. I just wanted to see him from a distance."
Si Wen took a sip of her coffee. "If you want to see him, you can. But first, tell me, when will ’My Precious Boy’ be updated?"
If Si Wen hadn’t known Lin Xi was the author, she would have found a way to track her down, tie her up, and force her to update the novel.
"The college entrance exams are almost here. I have to study. What time do I have to write a novel?"
Lin Xi had a point.
"So, will you resume updating after you get into Yanbei University?"
"Of course! This novel is like a child Xue Yang and I created together. I will definitely finish it."
Not only would she finish it, but she’d also use the power of her money to promote it so more people could see the fruit of their collaboration.
"Alright, then."
Although Si Wen was itching with anticipation, there was nothing she could do. At their age, the college entrance exams were the most important thing.

After working long, high-intensity hours recently, Xue Yang woke up quite late today. He only stirred when Jennifer called him.
"Jennifer, I’m sorry. I think I’m late."
"It’s okay. Are you feeling alright? Do you need to rest?" Jennifer asked with concern.
"I’m fine. Give me ten minutes. I’ll be at the company right away."
Jennifer glanced at the staff and camera setups, which were all ready. "Okay. We’ll wait for you."
Xue Yang hung up, rolled out of bed, and went to wash up. He moved quickly. Ten minutes later, he arrived at the entrance of Trendy Apparel Company right on time.
"Let’s go. We’re shooting on the rooftop today," Jennifer said. "The weather’s a bit chilly. You’ll be okay with that, right?"
The weather wasn’t cooperating today. It had been overcast and gloomy all morning, and now a light snow had begun to fall. Although the snow was light, shooting the new spring collection would be a significant challenge.
"No problem, Jennifer. Let’s get going."
Jennifer led Xue Yang to the rooftop. Next to their location was a revolving coffee shop. Business was usually quite good, and since it was the weekend, it was even busier. Rumor had it you needed to book in advance to get a seat. Most importantly, the coffee wasn’t cheap at all—a single cup could cost several hundred.
Jennifer brought over a takeout coffee from the shop and handed it to Xue Yang. "Warm your hands."
"Thanks."
Xue Yang took it and had a sip. The taste was indeed very good—quite unique and filled with a delicate aroma.
No wonder it was so expensive.
What he didn’t know was that at that very moment, inside the coffee shop, two beautiful figures were watching him.
