<h4>Chapter 25: The Most Important Thing Was Her Participation</h4>


    Shen Xi’s deskmate, Pei Xu was absent again.


    Song Wenye sat on Pei Xu’s seat, propped herself up on the desk and eyed Shen Xi. She had an obsession with beauty and loved to look at handsome boys and pretty girls. It was simply not enough for her.


    “Focus on your studies.” Shen Xi knocked on her desk.


    Song Wenye grinned foolishly. “Lil Xixi, are you taking part in the dancingpetition because of Su Ruowan?”


    Shen Xi did not hide her true intention. “Yes.”


    Song Wenye was curious. “I heard that you caused her to break her leg and she couldn’t participate in it anymore. Is that true?”


    Shen Xi replied, “False.”


    Song Wenye disyed a knowing expression. “I knew it! It must be fake. She fell down on her own and med it on you. Diabolical!”


    Lil Xixi was so beautiful and would never do such a thing. That c*nt Su Ruowan must be jealous of her stunning beauty!


    Shen Xi murmured a response and handed her a list. “I have something else that requires your help.”


    Song Wenye had a look at it. It was a list ofpetitions in which Su Ruowan and Su Mushi were involved in. She gulped. “Are you sure?”


    Shen Xi inched closer and whispered into her ear, “Absolutely.”


    Song Wenye’s heart skipped a beat. She was screaming internally, “Lil Xixi’s teasing me, teasing me!”


    Shen Xi smiled. “Thanks, once it’s done, I’ll treat you to a meal.”


    Song Wenye felt concerned. “But, Lil Xixi, your results are poorer than mine. You’ll embarrass yourself if you participate in thesepetitions.”


    Shen Xi reacted with a smile. There was pride in her icy gaze. “Poor students will not always remain as poor students.”


    “Fine, I’ll take care of it.” Song Wenye saw the confidence and determination in Shen Xi’s eyes. Thetter seemed to be glowing.


    At this moment, regardless of what others thought, she truly believed that Shen Xi would be able to defeat Su Mushi and Su Ruowan.


    The students of the international ss never imagined that Shen Xi would seed in being epted by the ss so quickly. Yesterday, she was on good terms with Alpha Xu; Today, she was on good terms with Song Wenye.


    As long as these two students epted her, the rest of the ss had to ept her as one of their own. Bullying her was akin to bullying the international ss.


    The Song family was a family of schrs and intellectuals.


    Song Wenye’s grandfather was the current Director of the Ministry of Education. His students were highly aplished in multiple fields and were located in all parts of the world.


    The authorities of Capital No. 4 High School had to give face to Song Wenye due to her rtionship with her grandfather.


    Apart from thepetitions that were already in the semi-finals and finals, they added Shen Xi’s name to the list of participants.


    Everyone in the international ss thought that Shen Xi had gone mad. She should be aware that, with her results, she was no match for the other participants. She ought to be like her ssmates, instead of taking part in thosepetitions and ending up embarrassing herself!


    Still, it was her choice. Even if she got thest ce or got eliminated in the first round, Shen Xi was still a member of the international ss. Friendship came first, and the most important thing was that she participated in thosepetitions.


    Shen Xi signed up for ten events, including the English debate, Mathematical Olympiad andpetitions rted to physics, chemistry, biology,puters, dance, piano, and violin and cello.


    Students wouldpete with their peers from other high schools in the country in the academicpetitions, whereas the performing artspetitions were held at the national level.


    The events spanned a long time, too. They took ce from now until April next year, with an average of two events per month.


    Shen Xi had nned her schedule. She would take part in thosepetitions openly and triumph over Su Ruowan and Su Mushi. The very idea of it excited her.
