America: I came here to study, not to show mercy.

Chapter 106: A powerful villain at first glance
After parking the car in the parking lot of the Seton Hall University teaching area, Li Xiaoen got out of the car and finally took the note from Amelia.

Looking at the neat folds and the series of numbers written in wild handwriting, Li Xiaoen felt a little sad for a moment.

All in all, it had only been a month since he met the young American girl in the Japanese sushi restaurant, but so much had happened and he had been so busy that it seemed like a long time had passed since he thought about it.

At first, I thought of trying to get in touch after my study abroad life settled down, but now this invitation is probably outdated.

Li Xiaoen thought to himself that he naturally didn't think that a girl, especially an open-minded American girl, would insist on waiting for him for a month. Some invitations, especially this kind, are time-limited.

"what happened?"

Noticing Li Xiaoen's expression, Amelia smiled mischievously, "Are you afraid to call? Do you want me to help you?"

"Amelia, I think you look better when you're silent."

Li Xiaoen glanced at Amelia. The car door was already locked. Seeing there was no trash can nearby, he stuffed the note directly into his trouser pocket. "I don't think we have any conflicts, so why do I feel like you are so rude to me?"

"As a woman, isn't it natural for me to be rude to a scumbag who plays with my feelings?"

Amelia responded softly, turning her head to look at the scenery of Seton Hall University.

After being reminded by Li Xiaoen, she couldn't help but feel a little strange. In the past, she would think that saying a word to people she disliked was too much, but now when she met Li Xiaoen, she couldn't help but tease him out loud.

Analyzing her own state of mind with the psychology knowledge she had learned from Avery since she was a child, she finally discovered that she subconsciously believed that her proactive teasing would not make the young man angry or self-righteous. On the contrary, she felt a little happy when she saw the helpless look on the young man's face.

"Like I've scumbed you?"

Too lazy to defend himself against the stereotype in Amelia's mind, Li Xiaoen shook his head and took the lead in walking towards the building in front of him.

Located in South Orange County, New Jersey, the Seton Hall University campus has spacious buildings and a high vegetation coverage rate, still retaining the beautiful rural scenery of the town. However, because it is only a short twelve miles away from New York, various shops and services are lined up in the commercial streets near the campus, giving it a subtle flavor of the urban village in Guangdong city.

Li Xiaoen's eyes shifted to the surrounding scenery and buildings, and suddenly he saw a dark and strong Mexican youth in front of him.

Ethan was leaning against the car at this time, looking around with a faint smile on his face, looking like a show-off.

This guy, when did he change into school uniform?
Li Xiaoen felt strange and walked up to Ethan: "Why don't you go in?"

"Oh, isn't this waiting for you?"

Ethan turned around, smiled and nodded, his complexion rosy and plump, and he was obviously very excited.

"Then let's go. Professor Alaric should still be waiting for us."

Li Xiaoen nodded, looked back at Amelia, whose expression had returned to indifference, and the vague suspicion in his heart became more certain.

Although in American culture, the level of academic qualifications and the quality of the school do not have such a strong "golden business card" effect, they are still highly regarded in everyone's hearts.

Princeton is a well-known brand in New Jersey and even in the entire United States. Now that I have come to Northwestern University, which is obviously less recognized by society and academia, I always feel a sense of pride.

Having said that, some majors of Seton Hall University can still be comparable to or even surpass those of Ivy League schools, but they are not on this list after all.

Li Xiaoen couldn't help but look at the school basketball team that was in full swing on the other side. He was subtle in his thoughts. In this free country, ordinary people still couldn't avoid trying to save face.

The Pirates basketball team of Seton Hall University is well-known among universities and has sent many talents to the NBA. Many high school students signed up for the basketball team and now they are taking the initiative to come forward at this time.

They're all the same.

Li Xiaoen found himself amused. The more he encountered American people and things, the more he disenchanted with their rosy image. Classmates like Daniel, Michael, and Ethan, though attending prestigious universities, were no different from ordinary people besides their studies. Entering the building, the clamor outside suddenly faded. The group met with Professor Alaric and waited outside the exam room.

"Sean, did you really choose Group A for the math competition?"

Standing next to Li Xiaoen, Amelia turned her head and looked at him several times before she couldn't help but ask.

"I'm in the same examination room as you."

Li Xiaoen reluctantly handed his research information to Amelia, "If you don't believe me, look at it with your four eyes."

In the PUMaC mathematics competition, the individual competition is divided into difficulty groups, namely Group A and Group B. Group A is more difficult, while Group B is more suitable for beginners.

After raising her eyes and glaring, Amelia finally lowered her head and read the message clearly. She straightened her back again, and without saying anything, she shook her head lightly with an expression of emotion.

Li Xiaoen narrowed his eyes and said, "Believe it or not, when the results come out, I did better than you."

"Just because you've been eating, drinking and having fun these past few weeks?" Amelia turned her head and asked back.

"Bet or not?"

Li Xiaoen raised an eyebrow and said, "If I do better than you in the exam, will you agree to one condition?"

"If not, then you have to agree to my three conditions!" Amelia sank.

Li Xiaoen couldn't help but smile when he heard this. "You also said that I haven't studied hard these past few weeks, so why do you have to have three conditions for winning?"

"Then I won't gamble."

Amelia still didn't answer, but looked up at the far end of the corridor.

"Okay, let's gamble."

Li Xiaoen nodded indifferently. Based on his analysis and summary of the information given by Alaric during this period, as well as his research on previous topics, he was confident.

Amelia glanced sideways at the words, nodded seriously, and walked into the classroom as the invigilator arrived.

120 minutes passed in a flash. After finishing the exam, Li Xiaoen felt the sunshine and fresh air at the entrance of the building again. He couldn't help but take a long breath.

Just then, a fat young Asian boy wearing black-framed glasses came over.

"Sean, I think I have to come and tell you something!"

He excitedly came over and handed the drawing in his hand to Li Xiaoen, "Take a look at the picture I drew for you three classmates. I want to ask, can this be used as the villain in my comic?"

The drawing shows three people walking from the parking lot towards the building. From their appearance, one can vaguely identify them as him, Amelia, and Ethan.

Ethan was wearing a uniform, with his head raised and an arrogant look in his eyes and mouth. Amelia in the middle had an indifferent expression and looked straight ahead. He had a nonchalant smile on his face and looked at the scenery on the side with boredom.

Li Xiaoen, who was originally feeling a little strange, couldn't help but open his eyes wide.

"Don't worry, Sean. You are very strong as villains. You are still the strongest one."

Seeing that Li Xiaoen didn't respond, the young Asian boy added another sentence.
