Chapter 17 (2/2)

But it was just awkward.

“Little Fei, is this your friend? Why haven’t I heard you mention him before?”

Qing Kui silently held back for a long time. Finally, she could not hold it in any longer and opened her mouth to interrupt the conversation between Ye Fei and Ling Xuewei.

Only then did Ling Xuewei realize that there was actually someone else in the shop.

Their gazes intersected. Both of them were silently sizing each other up.

There was a faint smell of gunpowder in the air.

Ye Fei tried to ease the atmosphere. “Qing Kui, this is a new friend I recently met, Ling Xuewei.”

“Ling Xuewei, that’s my good friend who grew up together with me, Qing Kui.”

Ye Fei introduced her stiffly, and he even felt like he was practicing sentence patterns in English class.

It was extremely awkward.

Qing Kui gave a polite smile. “Hello.”

Ling Xuewei pretended not to hear him and turned to Ye Fei. “Oh right, tomorrow is the day of the freshmen trial. Go and report early in the morning. You’ll be in time to participate in the trial after you’re done with the paperwork…”

Ling Xuewei thought to herself, so what if we’re childhood sweethearts? We simply got to know each other earlier.

Not as tall as me, not as pretty as me, not as rich as my family… she’s not worth caring about.

“My Prince Charming will be mine sooner or later!”

Ye Fei did not know whether to laugh or cry. He did not know what to do at all.

Qing Kui suppressed the grievance in her heart and said goodbye to Ye Fei with a smile. “You should greet your friends first. I’m going back. Remember to go home for dinner tonight. Mom and dad miss you a lot.”

Ling Xuewei keenly grasped the subtlety of the wording.

“Go home? You two live together?”

Ling Xuewei rose thought, “Ahhhhhh — how can they live together?”

Ye Fei did not want to explain, but he could not let her continue to misunderstand. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, “No. I just go there often to eat.”

Ling Xuewei heaved a sigh of relief.

Rosette rose thought, “It’s good that we don’t live together… Thank God, my Prince Charming still belongs to me!”

Ye Fei did not know what to think.

After a few seconds of silence, ling Xuewei asked again, “Then why do you always eat at her house? Don’t tell me you don’t even know how to cook?”

Rosette rose thought to herself, “Come to my house! My family’s chef is a professional!”

Ye Fei could only forcefully change the topic. “What did you say just now? The freshmen trial, right? What kind of trial method?”

Ling Xuewei was distracted by his words and instantly forgot her original purpose. She replied, “Tomorrow’s trial is to challenge the Beast Tower…”

“The Beast Tower was built by the first principal when the school was built a hundred years ago. There are a total of nine floors, and each floor is locked with many very powerful fierce beasts.”

“The higher the number of floors, the stronger the fierce beasts locked inside.”

“Of course, the higher the level of the breakthrough, the more generous the reward will be.”

“This is both a test for the new students and a benefit.”

“It’s said that if you can reach the top level, you can get a reward of three million federal coins!”

“In addition to the reward, you can also go to the incubation room and choose any pet egg as a prize. Those inside are all very rare pets! You can’t even buy them on the market!”

Ye Fei was just casually asking to change the topic, but after listening to Ling Xuewei’s introduction, he was really interested.

“Three million dollars…”

Just thinking about it made Ye Fei feel very tempted.

If he could get that prize money, he would never have to worry about his livelihood in the future.
