âWhatâs up? Whyâd you two stop?â Sister Lin looked at me as I stood up, asking seriously.
I exploded, âStop? Screw that!â
Sister Lin blinked, then said, âI meant for you to continue with my Meiâer!â
Her words left me speechless.
Seeing me silent, Sister Lin pressed, âNeed me to grab some cond0ms or something?â
âSis, Iâm done!â I cursed my luck for meeting this weirdo, Lin Mengxin!
âUh⌠whatâs going on?â Sister Lin still looked clueless.
Tears in my eyes, I walked past her. âNothing. Youâre just too awesome! I admire you!â
âI bought groceries. Donât forget to cook!â Sister Lin shouted as I walked away.
I ignored her. D*mn it!
In the kitchen, Qin Mengdie was already chopping vegetables.
âNeed help?â I smiled at Qin Mengdie.
Qin Mengdie was at her best when cooking. Though still cold in speech, her icy aura was gone. In an apron, she looked like a virtuous wife.
But she was my protection target, and with Meiâer in the picture, I could only watch this goddess slip by.
Sigh, Iâm just too loyalâŚ
Qin Mengdie looked up, pausing. âNo need. To make it easier, letâs split it. I cook on even days, you on odd.â
âDeal!â I smiled and headed to the living room.
Qin Mengdie was my protection target. I couldnât fathom why someone would hire assassins to kill her.
Judging by Qin Shoushengâs demeanor, this assassin group was no ordinary one.
If her situation was so dangerous, why send her to Shenghua? Isnât that asking for trouble?
Whatever. Not my concern. Better not know, or Iâd scare myself to death.
I turned on the TV. Itâd been ages since I watched.
But, of courseâŚ
Damn it! 7:30 PM! I finally get to watch TV, and itâs freaking 7:30! Every channelâs the same crap!
Frustrated, I turned off the TV and returned to my room. Qin Mengdie said sheâd cook, so I didnât need to help.
Gaming on my laptop was a hassle, and I was bored, so I opened the school forum.
The âCampus Beauty Rankingâ post was no longer pinned. No one discussed it anymore. Trends come and go, and even beauties lose their charm over time.
As the forum loaded, a âhotâ post caught my eye.
âIâm Here to Challenge: Karate Club Gets Owned, Martial Arts Club Newcomer Arrogantly Crushes Black Belt President Lin Youchen!â
The post was near the top and highlighted.
Clicking it, I saw it was posted shortly after we left the Karate Club.
Only our Martial Arts Club members were there besides the Karate Club. Logically, this shouldnât have leaked, yet someone posted it with photos.
The internetâs power is insane.
Today, a Martial Arts Club newcomer, with President Yang Xue and Vice President Yang Fan, stormed the Karate Club. The newcomer was arrogant, barging in and shouting, âIâm here to challenge!â
Details below (with pics and proof).
Next were photos of me kicking the vice president and Lin Youchen, with slightly humorous captions.
I wondered how Lin Youchen would feel seeing this. The poster was brutally honest, sparing no one.
For me: âThis newcomer knows martial arts but lacks virtue, slapping people on sight!â
For Lin Youchen: âEats dirt after a kick from the newcomer,â âCasually slapped by the newcomer,â and more.
The replies were often more entertaining than the post itself.
âLove to see it.â
âFinally, justice for us nerds!â
âNo Photoshop here. Verified.â
âMark.â
âName saved.â
The first few replies were just noise. Scrolling down, I found real comments.
âIs Lin Youchen even a second-degree black belt? Beaten like this by a freshman. Embarrassing!â
âShut up, you know nothing! Our president could crush you three times over!â
âThat freshmanâs an idiot for hitting our Prince Youchen! He better hope I donât find out his name!â
âBrainless fans. Lin Youchenâs just a pretty face with money. You think heâs actually skilled?â
âBrainless? Your whole familyâs brainless!â
What the hell? Itâs all just flaming, barely any real discussion!
Shaking my head, I exited the post.
Scrolling further, it was just dull posts: what I ate, how many bathroom trips, got dumped again. Boring.
I was about to close the forum when I accidentally hit refresh, and a surprising post popped up.
A new pinned post, already with thousands of replies.
Iâd spent maybe five minutes on the last post, and this new one already had thousands of replies. Insane!
âWorld-Class Freshman Meetup: Freshmen from top global universities will visit our campus for a life experienceâŚâ
World-class? With so many top universities, how many people would come?
Reading the post, I understood the meetup.
The top universities from Japan, the US, South Korea, and Thailand would each send their ten best freshmen for an exchange.
Tsinghua and Peking Universities would also send people. This was gonna be lively.
No exact date was given, just âsoon.â
The poster provided school proof, so no one doubted it.
Six foreign universities total. Shenghua would be buzzing.
Not surprising, given the wealth of Shenghuaâs four backing families. Organizing a top-school meetup was easy.
âDinnerâs ready!â Tang Shuyaoâs voice called from outside.
I closed my laptop and went to the living room.
âTodayâs dishes are all by Sister Mengdie. You narcissist didnât even help!â Tang Shuyao frowned at me.
I paused, then said, âMengdie and I agreed: she cooks on even days, I cook on odd.â
âYou narcissist donât know how to cherish a lady!â Tang Shuyao turned and sat down. âThis ladyâs starving, no more talking!â
Sister Lin, Meiâer, and Xu Xin came downstairs.
As we sat, the apartment door swung open. Wang Ziyan rushed in. âWait! Save some for me!â
Hey, the girl wasnât late this time. Everyone started eating.
âAh!â Wang Ziyan suddenly screamed.
I looked at her pained face. âWhatâs wrong?â
She stared at me, then grimaced. âAte too fast. Bit my tongue.â
Everyone at the table burst out laughing.
If only every day could be this harmonious!
