Chapter 21 - They said she looks like him? (3)

Xu Fei switched between lamenting and sighing on his face and Lin Xi was totally baffled, having no idea what was going through Xu Fei's mind.

But, what's with that sudden sympathy coming from him?

"Don't worry. Your dad will return soon." Xu Fei comforted her.

Lin Xi nodded, still baffled.

After Xu Fei had taken off, Lin Xi walked inside the room and checked out this temporary apartment.

The room wasn't very big, about the size of a normal hotel room but without the complicated décor. The entire room looked simple and warm.

The bedsheets, the blankets, and other daily items had obviously been switched out to new ones before her arrival.

Lin Xi put down her luggage and placed it on the floor. She then pulled out her remaining snacks and clothes from it, organized them, and placed them neatly into the drawers.

Then it was the books and textbooks that were on the bottom.

Lin Xi separated out the textbooks and other books and placed them on both sides of the desk.

Lin Xi spaced out a little when she looked at the stack on the left-hand side.

A few of the books on electronic technology was written by Gu Shao.

Lin Xi smiled when she thought about her real father whom she met today.

-- He looked a little mean and not too excited when he saw her but Lin Xi felt that Gu Shao was not a bad person. At the very minimum, he didn't seem as cunning and wicked as he was portrayed in the extras of the novel.

Most likely he would not hit her or sell her off.

She failed to show him her best side today...

Recalling the scene when they met today, Lin Xi felt embarrassed and couldn't help but buried her head into the pillow.

She contemplated how to clarify herself when she met up with Gu Shao next time.

More time had passed and Lin Xi stood up, tidied up the bed that she had messed up, and walked over to the desk.

There was an all-in-one computer sitting there. Lin Xi turned it on. It did not require a password She could use it and get online with it.

Lin Xi dared not log into her own social media account. She didn't want her mother or grandmother to notice that something was off.

Zhang Cui had taken away her cellphone when they were at Village Zhang. Prior to that, she had already deleted all the important history, including her app-based car reservation, but her SIM card was still in the phone.

Lin Xi used a temporary account to log into a few websites and looked up recent competitions, including some for regular subjects and some innovative competitions.

There were many competitions of these types in different scales. Lin Xi had competed in many of them in the past and was no stranger to them.

Lin Xi marked down a few major ones or ones that offer high award amounts. She then visited some training facilities' and training institutions' websites and looked up their contact email addresses and application information.

There would be award money when one won in these competitions. There would be an additional award amount if one entered the competition representing a training facility.
