Forced to Date a Big Shot

C616: Happy Birthday

Xiang Huai’s eyes darkened and he exuded an intimidating aura. “Who are you calling pitiful?”

The senior’s words got stuck in his throat. He took a few steps back. “Xue Xi, I’m waiting to see you make a fool of yourself!”

When he saw Xiang Huai take a step toward him, he was so frightened that he turned around and ran.

After he left, the rest of the people in the library looked over and discussed in private. They felt that they were speaking very softly, but Xue Xi had good hearing and heard everything they said.

“Is it really possible to develop a light source machine?”

“I think it’ll be hard. To be honest, I personally admire Sister Xi, but this thing is really too difficult.”

“Our country will definitely surpass other countries in the future, but after all, there is still a huge gap between our technologies. It will indeed be very difficult to complete.”

“...I personally admire Sister Xi for investing in this experiment, but I really don’t agree with her. If she doesn’t do it well, the losses will be too great.”

“Although I don’t have the capability to participate, I hope that she can really develop it and bring glory to China.”

“Me too, but let’s not harbor too much hope. This is giving her too much pressure. No matter how outstanding a person is, she is still a person. Sigh!”

“...”

Although everyone’s voices were soft, the atmosphere in the library was ruined.

Xue Xi looked at the time. She was in no mood to read anymore, so she stood up and said to Xiang Huai, “Let’s go.”

“Sure.”

Xiang Huai passed her the thermos flask in his hand and helped her pick up her bag. He walked beside her. After the handsome man and beautiful woman walked out of the library, the discussion in the library became even more intense and only calmed down after a long time.

...

Xue Xi walked on the stone path and hesitated for a while before asking, “Is my project really impossible to complete?”

Xiang Huai did not answer immediately. Instead, he asked, “What do you think?”

Xue Xi frowned. “I’ve been reading a lot of information about integrated circuits these past few days, and I’ve also read a lot of information regarding light sources. I think it’s quite simple.”

Xiang Huai chuckled. “Mhm. Then just do it.”

Xue Xi nodded.

Xiang Huai continued, “If you don’t have enough money, you can look for Qian Xin. I’ve already informed him that you can use his funds without limit.”

Xue Xi paused and her heart warmed. “Oh.”

Xiang Huai asked, “Little kid, where are we going to next?”

Xue Xi pointed at the pavilion in the distance. “Let’s go there.”

Xiang Huai nodded. “Okay.”

The pavilion was older and had an antique feel to it. It was also the best place for couples to date. The two of them walked over and looked at the lake. The clear water made the area seem exceptionally quiet.

Just as Xiang Huai was thinking that the little kid was finally getting the hang of being romantic with him, he saw Xue Xi take out a book from her bag and slowly say, “This place is very suitable for reading.”
