Rejected by the Campus Belle, I Find My True Love-Chapter 316 - 314: Your Brother is Simply Inhuman

Lin Xi was momentarily taken aback. Looking at the boy who seemed both strange and familiar, she asked, "Are you...?"

I don’t think I know this boy. How would he know me? Wait a minute... he called me sister-in-law. Could he be Xue Yang’s younger brother?

Just as this thought crossed her mind, Xue Xing spoke again through the video call.

"Sister-in-law, I’m Xue Xing. Didn’t my brother ever mention me to you?"

Xue Xing was a little peeved. His brother hadn’t even introduced him to his beautiful sister-in-law. He really let me down.

"Ah?"

Xue Yang had indeed never mentioned his siblings to her.

Lin Xi smiled faintly. "He did. He said you were very well-behaved and obedient. By the way, how do you know who I am?"

Her smile dazzled Xue Xing, sending him into a daze.

Wow, my sister-in-law is the prettiest. No one even comes close.

"I saw your photo on my brother’s phone. That’s how I recognized you."

So, it was from a photo, Lin Xi mused.

As a thought occurred to him, Xue Xing’s expression suddenly turned serious. "By the way, Sister-in-law, how come some other woman has my brother’s phone?"

"You mean Si Wen? I gave it to her. She said she wanted to play a game, so I just handed her the phone."

This was a normal thing for Lin Xi, as she had often let Si Wen use Xue Yang’s phone to play games before.

Xue Xing was dumbfounded. His sister-in-law was too naive to just casually hand her boyfriend’s phone to another woman. He felt it was his duty to educate her. Otherwise, by the time some other woman stole his brother away, it would be too late for her to cry.

Thinking this, Xue Xing said in a solemn tone, "Sister-in-law, let me tell you, you can’t just hand your boyfriend’s phone to other women."

"Si Wen isn’t just any other woman. She’s my best friend."

"Sister-in-law, haven’t you heard the saying?"

"What saying?"

"Beware of fire, beware of thieves, and beware of best friends. Sister-in-law, you have to be careful with her! What will you do if she steals my brother away from you?"

Lin Xi was stunned speechless.

Si Wen was utterly bewildered. Great. Now I’m the one being suspected.

Si Wen snatched the phone, her face filling the screen. "Little brat, who are you calling a homewrecker?"

"And you’re not?"

"I, Si Wen, am a person of principle! How could I possibly be a homewrecker? Besides, my standards aren’t so low that I’d fall for Xue Yang."

Upon hearing this, both Lin Xi and Xue Xing took offense.

"Nonsense! Xue Yang wouldn’t even take a second look at you," Lin Xi retorted.

"My brother wouldn’t bother with someone like you," Xue Xing added.

Si Wen was fuming.

"Little brat, what’s your in-game name? I’m challenging you to a 1v1."

Challenging Lin Xi was asking for a beatdown. She could now analyze game characters’ attributes and even configure their inscription builds, giving her a level of skill far beyond that of a normal player. Therefore, Si Wen chose the newbie, Xue Xing.

"I’m not playing with you. I have homework to do."

Xue Xing was a boy of principle. Besides, he was bad at the game; dueling someone was just asking for trouble. He wouldn’t bother with such a thankless task.

Si Wen’s competitive spirit surged. "Just one round," she declared, going all in. "If you win, I’ll admit you were right."

"You’re the one who said that."

For the sake of his brother and sister-in-law’s happiness, Xue Xing decided to go for it. After all, it was just one match.

Si Wen patted her chest. "My word is my bond."

After ending the video call, Xue Xing logged into King’s Game. He had teamed up with Xue Yang over the New Year, so they were already friends in the game. After creating a lobby, he immediately invited Si Wen, who was using Xue Yang’s account.

Soon, they entered the game.

The moment the match began, Xue Xing unleashed his inner demon, playing so fiercely that Si Wen started questioning her existence.

Ten minutes later, hearing the "Defeat" announcement from the game, she was completely dumbfounded.

At that moment, Xue Yang emerged, his hair freshly washed. Tony came out with him. Upon seeing Si Wen, Tony immediately went up to greet her.

But Si Wen’s gaze was fixed solely on Xue Yang.

"Xue Yang, your brother is a monster!"

Xue Yang asked, puzzled, "My brother?"

Lin Xi whispered in his ear, "She means Xue Xing."

Xue Yang was slightly taken aback, not quite understanding how the two of them had crossed paths.

"Xue Xing started a video call with you, and Si Wen happened to be using your phone to play a game. She must have answered it by accident. Then they started arguing about you..." Lin Xi briefly explained what had happened.

Xue Yang understood. On his account, advanced features were only enabled for ranked matches. For all other modes, the settings were intentionally downgraded so he could directly observe the game’s flaws. No wonder Si Wen had been so miserably defeated.

"What kind of guy is he? He was playing a game with a girl and didn’t go easy on her at all! Not only did he not let me win, he killed me every few seconds. I was hiding under my tower, and he still dove in to kill me! Not only that, when I was hiding in the spawn fountain, he ran all the way over, killed me, and then escaped with a sliver of health! Boo hoo hoo..."

Si Wen was genuinely brought to tears by frustration. In all her years of gaming, she had never suffered such humiliation. Xue Xing had really taught her a lesson today, making her wish he was standing right in front of her so she could bite him to death.

However, Xue Xing’s takeaway was completely different; he felt his skills were so refined he could play professionally.

Too bad I have to focus on my university entrance exams. Otherwise, I could definitely go pro.

Unconvinced, Si Wen wanted to challenge Xue Xing to a rematch, but he stuck to his principles and flatly refused to play with her again.

"Tell me, when will you be online next?"

"I don’t know. You can’t trick me into playing. I have to get into the same university as my brother, so I don’t have time for games."

Hearing Xue Xing say he wanted to get into the same school as Xue Yang, Si Wen suddenly scoffed. "You’d better make sure you get in. Otherwise..." Her threat trailed off, replaced by the menacing sound of her teeth grinding together.

Xue Xing inexplicably shuddered and logged off with a strange feeling.

"Xue Yang, give me your brother’s WeChat," Si Wen demanded with a sinister look. "I need to keep a constant eye on him. If he doesn’t get into Yanbei University, I’ll book a flight right over there and strangle him myself."

Thousands of miles away, Xue Xing shuddered again.

Then he sneezed.

Weird. Who’s thinking about me? It must be my imagination.

With that thought, he buried his head in his studies again. He had already finished the curriculum for his second year of high school and was now self-studying the third-year material. His grades had improved significantly of late, earning him constant praise from his teachers. Some classmates even joked about whether he was trying to break his brother’s record.

Xue Xing simply smiled and said, "My brother’s record isn’t something just anyone can break. But, if I get the chance, I’d like to give it a try."

Hearing his determined words, a new wave of academic fervor swept through the school.
