Chapter 191 - 192: Her Fiancé (3)
Lou Xi was exhausted when she left the fourth high school, feeling that society was particularly realistic.
At one school, seeing Lou Xi dressed fairly well, they asked her what contributions she could make to the school.
Lou Xi was just a college student working part-time, what contributions could she offer this school? So she shook her head.
After the teacher looked at Lou Nan’s transcript, they also shook their head at Lou Xi, indicating they wouldn’t accept this student.
At the fourth high school, she didn’t even get to see the school leadership and could only leave in embarrassment.
Nancheng only has a few public high schools, and the tuition for private high schools is so expensive; she doesn’t want to trouble Qin Mobai with Lou Nan’s issues.
He is in a relationship with her, not with her whole family; he doesn’t need to worry about every issue in Lou Xi’s family.
Moreover, Lou Xi doesn’t want to develop the habit of seeking Qin Mobai’s help whenever she encounters difficulties; she wants to be independent, to grow.
But it’s really so tiring...
She sat on the bench at the station, wanting to take out her phone to check the time, but when she touched her bag, she realized the phone was missing!
Lou Xi was a bit dumbfounded; the phone was a gift from Qin Mobai because he thought her phone was too old, so he bought her a new one, matching his.
But how come she can’t find it? She had just used the phone to send a WeChat message to Qin Mobai earlier!
She emptied her bag completely, and indeed... no trace of the phone!
Where did she lose it?
It’s not just a phone issue; it’s a gift from Qin Mobai; she can’t just lose it like this!
Lou Xi retraced her path, hoping to find the phone, but it’s locked with a password, so it’s useless to anyone else!
At that time, Lou Xi didn’t know about the option to reset a phone, which could bypass any password!
She went back from the station, even went to the school, searching all the way, but couldn’t find the phone.
When she got to the fast-food restaurant where she had asked Lou Nan to wait before, Lou Nan was nowhere in sight, and she had no idea where Lou Nan went.
Lou Xi stood outside the fast-food restaurant, dazed; she couldn’t find her phone and had lost track of Lou Nan.
Where should she go? Should she go complain to Qin Mobai again?
No, she can’t just run to Qin Mobai whenever something happens!
After failing to find Lou Nan anywhere, Lou Xi had no choice but to head home.
It was already past seven in the evening when she got home, and Qin Mobai was sitting at the dining table, with dishes already cold in front of him.
Lou Xi tried hard to pull out a smile, "Young Master Qin, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to come home so late. Today, I had to submit a thesis, Bai Lu’s thesis got lost, so I stayed with her to rewrite it, and the time just flew by without noticing."
She didn’t tell Qin Mobai the truth.
Half true, half false.
Bai Lu’s thesis was indeed lost, but Lou Xi turned in her own thesis under Bai Lu’s name. Lou Xi became the only one in the class who submitted a thesis, therefore, the teacher told her that her regular score for this course was zero, which means she needed to score ninety or above in the final exam to pass.
Qin Mobai responded indifferently, "And what else?"
"And... I lost my phone..." She lowered her head, "Sorry for losing the gift you gave me."
