<h4>Chapter 428: The Favored Are Fearless</h4>


    After getting in the car, Yun Xi nced at the gloomy man sitting beside her.


    After disciplining Si Wenxuan, his mood hadn’t changed yet. He appeared more sullen than usual, but also more like a mature man.


    It was the first time she’d ever seen someone dare to rebuke anyone of the stature of the patriarch of the Si family. Mu Feichi was truly brazen and cocky.


    As the saying goes, the favored are fearless.


    Since he didn’t say anything, Yun Xi poked him and asked curiously, “Young Marshal Mu, why do you hate Si Wenxuan so much? She is the heiress of the Si family, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that she likes you.”


    Mu Feichi turned his head and nced at her with disdain on his handsome face. “Anyone with a discerning eye can also see that I don’t like her.”


    “Don’t get riled up. I didn’t mean anything by it.”


    Yun Xi was just being nosy. She had to admit that Si Wenxuan was really unlikable.


    However, because of her status, a lot of men kissed up to her and treated her like she was a princess. Mu Feichi, however, didn’t give her the time of day.


    He didn’t have to kiss up to her and tter her, since his status was nobler than hers anyway.


    But even though this remark of his might have been just an offhandment, it piqued her interest.


    Mu Feichi turned his head in amusement and eyed her nonchntly. There was a faint gleam in his eyes.


    “Babe, are you interrogating me because you’re curious, or are you simply being jealous?”


    Yun Xi was taken aback. She quickly realized what he was insinuating and her ears reddened.


    “I meant nothing by it. Don’t let your imagination run wild.”


    “Really?” He leaned over her. “Howe I smell vinegar?”


    “...” She felt a heavy weight on her shoulders as he rested his chin there.


    Then his scorching breath hit her neck, and she trembled.


    “Vinegar is good for you, so please, babe, eat it often.”


    His deep voice lingered in her ears. It sounded both coaxing and coquettish.


    “...” With a helpless expression on her face, Yun Xi raised her hand and pushed his face away.


    Would he ever be more mature?


    ...


    The biologypetition was on Friday, so Yun Xi went over the procedures and the n of the surgery while reviewing her biology lessons.


    Since Zhou Chengzhe had decided to challenge her, she was going to let him find out the consequences of his mistake.


    Jing High School had selected ten students to participate in thepetition. Zhao Yumo wasn’t interested in it, but with her grades, she couldn’t refuse to participate.


    This preliminary contest had a wide range of examinations, including cellr biology, biochemistry, nt and animal anatomy, organ structure, animal behavior, gics, and evolution, all of which were subjects very familiar to Yun Xi.


    Although she had graduated from school many years ago in herst life, she hadn’t forgotten any basic knowledge, but she still had to go back to review everything just in case.


    On the day of the preliminarypetition, Yun Xi arrived at the venue early in the morning. This year’spetition had more than one process for answering questions.


    After theputer test, the top 50 contestants would all enter thepetition, and ten winners would be selected from those 50, who would thenpete in groups of five.


    In the quick-answer session, most of the questions woulde from things they’d learned in ss, though there would also be some esoteric biology knowledge.


    It was exceedingly difficult for people who didn’t have an especially high interest in biology to pass this level.


    Yun Xi felt a little apprehensive about this test. After all, the knowledge she had studied recently wasn’t veryprehensive, so she realized she would have to rely on her memory.


    As she entered the examination room, Yun Xi nced at Zhou Chengzhe, who’d been assigned to the same examination room. She couldn’t help but size him up.


    He seemed so self-assured and smug, and it appeared that he was confident of his victory.


    In school, she only knew that he was very unapproachable and didn’t talk to his ssmates that much.


    Perhaps in his eyes, they were all mentally retarded and therefore not qualified to talk to a genius like him.


    She couldn’t help but sneer. “ssmate Zhou, I look forward to learning from you. I look forward to your performance.”


    Zhou Chengzhe nced at her with disdain and sat down with a cold snort. “You yourself seem to have started talking big too early, so don’t be a sore loser.”


    “The winner and loser haven’t been determined yet, so all this is still spection. We’ll wait and see.”
