Chapter 311: I Understand Women Better Than You

Bai Cangyang wanted to refute, but he turned to look at Professor Qiao with some anticipation.
“Do you want to go shopping with me, or do you want to go shopping with Brother Chang?” Bai Cangyang asked.
Shi Xi was about to say that she wanted to go shopping when she thought of her mission.
“I’ll go shopping with you!” Shi Xi immediately said.
If Bai Cangyang did not match her with a set of clothes, she would not be able to eat even if she went to buy groceries!
The program team finished putting on makeup for Professor Qiao. Nan Wan even specially gave her lipstick and said a lot of nonsense.
After that, she went to pick out clothes.
Bai Cangyang was worried about Professor Qiao’s conservative identity, so he picked out long-sleeved dresses for her.
She looked gentle and generous, very amiable.
“How do you like it?” Bai Cangyang felt that it was very nice and asked Professor Qiao for her opinion. “Do you like it?”
Professor Qiao nodded and spun a few times in front of the mirror. “It’s alright.”
Shi Xi asked Bai Cangyang, “What style do you think suits me?”
Bai Cangyang said, “Teacher Shi Xi’s clothes today are very nice.”
Shi Xi looked at the row of clothes in front of her and hinted, “Which of these clothes do you think suits me?”
Bai Cangyang’s answer was flawless. “Teacher Shi Xi is so beautiful, she looks good in anything.”
Shi Xi: …How do I hint Bai Cangyang to pick out a set of clothes for me?
She casually picked out a set of clothes and said to Professor Qiao, “Try This one on?”
Black suspenders and a beige cardigan, paired with denim shorts.
She was totally a hottie.
The corner of Bai Cangyang’s mouth twitched as he said softly, “Is this okay? She’s a PhD holder.”
“Can’t a PhD holder be a hottie?” Shi Xi handed the clothes over. “Sister Qiao, do you want to try this set?”
Professor Qiao looked at the set of clothes and a struggle flashed across her eyes.
Shi Xi said, “Life is all about trying more.”
Professor Qiao took the clothes. “I’ll try it.”
Bai Cangyang said in a low voice, “Is this really okay?”
“Don’t worry, I know more about women than you do.” Shi Xi blinked her eyes and thought to herself, ‘I know more about the audience than you do.’
Who would like to watch a step-by-step transformation plan?
As she thought of something, Shi Xi went to the shop assistant and asked for a strapless bra before handing it over to the fitting room.
A few minutes later, Professor Qiao, who had disguised herself as a hot girl, came out of the fitting room.
Professor Qiao had always been a homebody, and her skin was covered very white. However, she had always been exercising, and her figure had been maintained very well.
Bai Cangyang said, “I keep feeling that it’s a little out of place.”
“Is it because of the makeup?” Shi Xi said thoughtfully, “Why don’t you let your hair down and apply some eyeliner?”
She was totally a hot girl in a bar!
She did it right away.
Bai Cangyang walked forward. “Sister Qiao, do you like this set of clothes, or the one just now?”
Professor Qiao smiled and said, “I’ve never tried this type of clothes before.”
Bai Cangyang understood the meaning behind Professor Qiao’s words — she really liked it.
“Sister Qiao, come over here. I’ll help you change your makeup.” Shi Xi used the makeup she carried with her to hook Professor Qiao’s eyeliner and reweave her hair.
The former fashion designer, Bai Cangyang, stood at the side and stared blankly.
“What do you think?” Shi Xi asked.
Bai Cangyang sized up Professor Qiao in front of him.
The first time, he saw her was an ordinary female doctor. After putting on makeup, she was a gentle sister. Now, she was a hot girl in a bar.
There were three of them.
And Professor Qiao seemed to be very willing to make such a change.
“It’s good that Sister Qiao likes it.” Bai Cangyang was speechless.
He had been a fashion designer for three periods and had never done something like this before.
Shi Xi suggested, “Let’s go to a boutique and pair some jewelry with it.”
How could a hot girl not have a ring, a bracelet, and a big gold chain?

Chapter 312: Young Man Who Accosted Professor Qiao

The three of them went to the boutique again. Shi Xi picked out a suitable ring and bracelet for Professor Qiao.
While Professor Qiao was trying on the bracelet, Shi Xi noticed that a young man opposite them had been staring at Professor Qiao.
The few of them were recording a program, which indeed attracted some passersby to watch.
However, this person had been staring at Professor Qiao.
“Is she good-looking?”Shi Xi asked.
“Uh, I think she looks like a mentor of mine.” The young man smiled awkwardly. “Maybe I was mistaken.”
Professor Qiao, who was looking at the bracelet, raised her head and sized up the young man. She asked, “Oh? You’re from Yanjing University?”
The moment Professor Qiao opened her mouth, the young man’s pupils trembled. “You… You’re Professor Qiao?”
“It’s me.” Professor Qiao looked at the young man. “You look a little familiar. Did you take my class?”
The young man: ?!?
“I, I’ve listened to your class before.” The young man looked at Professor Qiao with a different look in his eyes. “I just didn’t expect that Professor Qiao would be so good-looking in private…”
The further he went, the lower the young man’s voice became.
Professor Qiao asked, “What major did you study? Are you graduating now? Or?”
The young man said, “Mathematics. I’m in my third year of graduate school this year. I’m considering whether I should get a job after graduation or continue to study my PhD. Does Professor Qiao have any suggestions?”
“It depends on your own preferences! If you’re interested in topology, representation theory, and comprehensive analysis of number theory, you can…” When she mentioned her field of expertise, Professor Qiao became much more open-minded.
Shi Xi coughed twice, indicating that they were still filming.
She had thought that it was just a short and reserved chat, but she did not expect it to take so long.
“Ah, sorry to disturb you.” The young man scratched his head in embarrassment and said, “Why don’t I add you on WeChat and chat with you when you are free?”
“Sure!” Professor Qiao agreed readily.
Shi Xi whispered at the side, “I guess he doesn’t just want to talk about mathematics.”
Bai Cangyang: “…That man is Sister Qiao’s student.”
Shi Xi: “But he’s a third-year grad student. He should be around twenty-five, six, seven, or eight years old by now.”
Bai Cangyang: I don’t understand, but I’m very shocked.
Other than the ring and bracelet, Shi Xi also bought a silver hair clip for Professor Qiao to increase the intensity of the hot girl look.
After choosing a match for Professor Qiao, everyone prepared to go back.
“Wait!” Shi Xi remembered that her task had not been completed and said, “Let’s go take a look at the clothes again, shall we?”
“Didn’t you already buy the clothes?” Bai Cangyang was puzzled.
Shi Xi looked at him.
Bai Cangyang immediately changed his words. “Let’s go take a look again.”
When they reached the clothing store, Bai Cangyang saw that Shi Xi was looking left and right but was not picky about clothes. Finally, he took the initiative and said, “Teacher Shi Xi, what do you think of this?”
“Sure!” Shi Xi’s eyes lit up as she picked up the clothes. “I’ll try it on.”
“That’s–” Bai Cangyang saw that Shi Xi had already entered the fitting room, but he still said the last few words, “I picked it out for Sister Qiao.”
‘Forget it, it’s good that Teacher Shi Xi likes it.’
Bai Cangyang retracted his hand.
Shi Xi changed her clothes and came out of the fitting room.
The clothes that Bai Cangyang picked out were gently tied. The white dress extended all the way to her ankles, and the belt was tied into a bow.
The girl’s long hair reached her waist. She reached out and pulled her long black hair behind her ears. The moment she looked up, she looked like a goddess-level student in school.
Bai Cangyang was dazed.
Shi Xi asked, “How is it? Does it look good?”
Bai Cangyang came back to his senses. “It looks good. Teacher Shi Xi looks good in everything.”
Shi Xi was also very satisfied. After completing the mission and buying new clothes, they could have lunch.
“Let’s go back to eat!” Shi Xi immediately hungry, said: “It’s time to eat.”

Chapter 313: Exquisite Girl Step

For convenience, Chang Qiwen bought a lot of ingredients for hot pot and prepared to cook it.
Nan Wan and Gao Tingyu were sitting at the table, fiddling with something.
Shi Xi brought Professor Qiao back and received everyone’s surprised gazes.
“This change is too big, isn’t it?” Gao Tingyu’s eyes widened.
“She’s a completely different person. She’s very beautiful and fashionable!” Chang Qiwen stood in the semi-open kitchen and was not stingy with his praise. “Xiao Bai has good taste!”
Bai Cangyang said, “This is the outfit that Teacher Shi Xi picked.”
When Nan Wan heard that it was the outfit that Shi Xi picked, she started. “Isn’t this outfit a little revealing? Shi Xi, you like this nightclub style? You don’t have to pick this kind of outfit for others, do you?”
Shi Xi ignored her and turned to ask Professor Qiao, “Sister Qiao, do you think this outfit is revealing?”
Professor Qiao: “It’s not like I’m living in the Qing Dynasty. Why would I think it’s revealing?”
Nan Wan: “…”
Shi Xi blinked and said, “I’ll go help in the kitchen.”
Nan Wan was rebuked and looked at Shi Xi again. She sized her up and asked, “Did you change your clothes?”
Shi Xi sifted through the vegetables and said, “Yes, I changed my clothes while I was at it.”
Nan Wan saw how relaxed Shi Xi was, and her heart instantly felt unbalanced. She said sarcastically, “Is shopping on official expenses really fun?”
Shi Xi said, “Bai Cangyang helped me pick out clothes. Ask him if shopping on official expenses is fun.”
Bai Cangyang: ?!
Help!
Don’t burn me!
“When I was picking out clothes for Sister Qiao, I felt that this dress was very suitable for Teacher Shi Xi.” Bai Cangyang was indeed an idol with a high EQ. He smiled and said, “I’ll go help out in the kitchen too.”
With the help of the two of them, Chang Qiwen’s work in the kitchen was greatly reduced.
Nan Wan waved her hand and said, “Professor Qiao, come over and do a manicure! The first step for an exquisite girl is to do a beautiful manicure.”
Shi Xi looked at her hand.
Oh, she was not an exquisite girl.
Professor Qiao was pulled by Nan Wan and Gao Tingyu to do a manicure and said, “Is this necessary?”
Shi Xi tore off the vegetable head and said, “We’ve already prepared everything. Let’s give it a try. We’ll dye it in the big red color directly.”
Professor Qiao said, “Then let’s dye it in the big red color.”
Nan Wan was stumped.
They had been choosing for a long time just now and felt that the nude pink color was the most suitable for Professor Qiao. It was gentle and generous, and it also suited Professor Qiao’s personality.
They did not expect that Shi Xi would actually dress Professor Qiao up as a hot girl!
Who the f*ck would have thought of that?
Nan Wan tried to persuade her, “Isn’t a big red manicure a little too much? Professor Qiao still has to teach.”
Professor Qiao said, “It’s fine. I’m a professor. They don’t dare to say anything.”
Nan Wan was speechless and had no choice but to get someone to do Professor Qiao’s big red manicure. However, she secretly hoped that the effect would not be good. Professor Qiao did not like to directly go against Shi Xi.
Bai Cangyang cut the mushrooms and said, “Teacher Shi Xi, why don’t you go and get a manicure? Brother Chang and I will be fine in the kitchen.”
Chang Qiwen looked like he was optimistic about his son. “Xiao Bai knows how heartbreaking it is!”
Shi Xi said, “It’s alright, I’ll help you. Hurry up.”
Bai Cangyang snatched the basket from her hands. “I’ll do it, I’ll do it.”
Shi Xi looked at Bai Cangyang. “Then I’ll go and get a manicure?”
“Hurry up and get your nails done. Otherwise, Xiao Bai will have to escort you over,” Chang Qiwen said exaggeratedly. “There’s nothing to be busy for in the kitchen anyway.”
They made hotpot and bought ready-made hotpot meatballs and beef rolls. Only some vegetables needed to be washed and cut.

Chapter 314: Tampering With the Dipping Sauce

Hence, Shi Xi sat down at the table and said, “This nude pink looks good!”
The corner of Nan Wan’s mouth twitched.
This was the color that she and Gao Tingyu had carefully chosen for a long time. Of course, it looked good!
Shi Xi said, “I’ll just apply this nude pink.”
Nan Wan was so angry that she vomited blood.
When Shi Xi came on the show, not only did she shop for clothes at public expense, she even did a manicure at public expense?!
How could it be that good?
Nan Wan gritted her teeth and wanted to do something.
Suddenly, Nan Wan’s eyes turned and she said, “You guys take a seat. I’ll go to the kitchen to help.”
The eldest miss, who had never touched the sun, suddenly wanted to go to the kitchen. Everyone was shocked.
Bai Cangyang looked at the diamond-studded manicure on the eldest miss’ hand and said politely, “Senior, it’s better for you to sit. We’ll be fine as long as we’re in the kitchen.”
Chang Qiwen said bluntly, “That’s right. How are you going to cut the vegetables with your hands?”
The smile on Nan Wan’s face froze for a moment before she said, “I’ll make the hot pot dipping sauce. The dipping sauce I make is especially delicious!”
Chang Qiwen said, “Everyone has different tastes. They all like to make their own dipping sauce, right?”
Bai Cangyang said nonchalantly, “I can do it.”
Gao Tingyu added from the side, “I can prove that the dipping sauce Nan Wan makes is especially delicious! We can let Nan Wan do it!”
Seeing that no one said anything, Chang Qiwen shrugged nonchalantly. “Then you do it.”
In any case, it was not strange for the eldest miss to do anything.
Nan Wan took out a few small bowls and looked at the seasoning on the kitchen top before starting to make the hot pot dipping sauce.
As a permanent member of the program team, Nan Wan could see the information of the guest.
She knew that Shi Xi was allergic to seafood, so after seeing the seafood soy sauce on the table, she suggested that she make the hot pot dipping sauce herself.
Nan Wan only wanted Shi Xi to make a fool of herself, she did not want Shi Xi to die, so she only poured a little bit into the bottom of the bowl. On top of it, she added millet pepper, vinegar, sesame oil, and oil consumption as usual…
The ingredients for the hot pot were all prepared. On the other side, both of their manicures were done as well.
The manicures for Professor Qiao were not only bright red, but they were also inlaid with diamonds and made into lines. They were extremely gorgeous.
As for Shi Xi’s manicure, it was much simpler. It was a simple nude pink color with two orange colors in the middle. It looked playful and cute in its gentleness.
Nan Wan looked at Shi Xi’s manicure and then looked at her own. She felt that Shi Xi’s manicure looked better.
However, she did not want to admit that Shi Xi’s hands looked better.
“Let’s eat hotpot!” Nan Wan smiled and said, “Everyone, try the hotpot dipping sauce that I prepared.”
Chang Qiwen said, “Everyone, try the radishes that I cut.”
Bai Cangyang raised his hand. “I washed the vegetables.”
Shi Xi said, “I broke the vegetables!”
Gao Tingyu said, “…Thank you for your hard work. Please sit down.”
Bai Cangyang brought the hotpot to the table and plugged in the electricity.
Shi Xi looked at the row of hotpot dipping sauce and smiled. “Let me do it.”
She was afraid that Nan Wan would do something to the dipping sauce.
Nan Wan smiled casually. “Sure.”
Shi Xi looked at the small bowl in her hand and wondered if she was overthinking things?
Everyone was the same.
After the hot pot was boiled, everyone surrounded Professor Qiao and asked her some questions.
“I’ve been doing research on the four-color theorem recently. Most of the time, I’ve been thinking about it myself,” Professor Qiao said.
“Color testing? What color testing?” Nan Wan asked, “Do you also need to color test in mathematics?”
Shi Xi lowered her head.
If you don’t understand the field, don’t speak rashly!
Professor Qiao said, “It’s the four-color theorem. It refers to two straight lines that cannot appear in a plane without a common point.”
Everyone was at a loss.
Shi Xi explained, “All of you should have heard of a saying: each map only uses four colors, and all countries can be painted with different colors.”

Chapter 315: Was Probably Because of My Amazing Talent

Nan Wan said, “Three is enough, right?”
Shi Xi paused. She really didn’t expect Nan Wan to say such a thing.
Bai Cangyang pondered and said, “I think at least five is needed, right? Are four colors enough?”
“It is impossible to construct five or more two-connected areas in a two-dimensional plane, so five colors are enough,” Professor Qiao said. “Predecessors used computers to prove the four-color theorem, but there is no simpler written proof. If I can prove this, maybe I can try to compete for the Fields Prize next year.”
Nan Wan asked in a daze, “What prize?”
“The Fields Prize is equivalent to the Nobel Prize in Mathematics,” Professor Qiao said.
“Then why don’t you compete for the Nobel Prize in Mathematics?” Nan Wan thought she was humorous. “Is it because you don’t want to?”
Shi Xi scooped up a few balls for herself and the corners of her mouth twitched. “It’s because the Nobel Prize in Mathematics didn’t exist.”
Nan Wan: ??!
Chang Qiwen changed the topic and said, “Nan Wan’s hot pot dipping sauce is really delicious!”
Nan Wan forced a smile. “This is my exclusive recipe!”
Professor Qiao said, “It’s just some soy sauce, millet pepper, vinegar, sesame paste, sesame oil, and oil consumption. It’s not considered a secret recipe.”
Nan Wan: “…”
Gao Tingyu asked, “Professor Qiao studied so well and even got double doctorates. How did you do it? Do you have any experience?”
Professor Qiao: “Probably because my talent is amazing.”
Everyone: “…”
Bai Cangyang: “I remember there’s coconut milk in the kitchen. Which one of you wants to drink it?”
Everyone raised their hands.
With Chang Qiwen and Bai Cangyang changing the topic from time to time, this hot pot meal was still quite enjoyable.
Of course, some people were eating very angrily.
Nan Wan had been observing Shi Xi the whole time. Seeing that she did not have any reaction, her brows furrowed tightly.
Could it be that Shi Xi was not allergic to seafood?!
Or could it be that the amount was too small and did not cause Shi Xi’s allergic reaction at all?
Regardless of the situation, Nan Wan was not convinced.
She looked at the shrimp on the table that was slippery and secretly picked it up, preparing to enter the hotpot.
“Wait, let’s put the shrimp in at the end,” Bai Cangyang said. “I remember that Teacher Shi Xi is allergic to seafood. We’ll put the shrimp at the end.”
Nan Wan smiled apologetically. “Ah, I’m sorry. I didn’t think of that.”
Shi Xi scooped some meatballs for herself and said, “It’s okay. I’m full. You can go.”
Bai Cangyang said, “But you didn’t eat much.”
“It’s alright. I’m on a diet.” Shi Xi gave a considerate smile.
Nan Wan was so angry that she didn’t want to move.
She made Shi Xi look gentle and considerate!
Why was she always helping Shi Xi?!
Seeing that Shi Xi was really not eating, Bai Cangyang slid the shrimp down.
After eating the hotpot, everyone brought Professor Qiao to the amusement park.
“Let her experience the joy of the amusement park.”
This was Nan Wan’s idea.
Nan Wan said to Professor Qiao, “Because I heard you say that you’ve been studying since you were young, I wanted to bring you to the amusement park to make up for your childhood.”
“I’ve been studying since I was young, but that doesn’t mean that I’ve never been to the amusement park,” Professor Qiao said. “Besides, I’m already in my thirties. It’s a little strange for me to come to the amusement park, isn’t it?”
Nan Wan’s smile froze.
She wanted to pack up and go back now.
Shi Xi was in high spirits. “A woman is a young girl until she dies. It’s normal for her to come to an amusement park.”
She did not expect that other than shopping at public expense and manicure at public expense, she could also come to an amusement park at public expense!
Shi Xi: I love work!!
Professor Qiao looked at the amusement park. “Alright, let’s go in and have some fun.”
