189 Dongmeis Stance (1/2)

”Damn, we are fucked!” Black Skull called out, looking extremely pissed off. ”Now we are on Miss Ash's blacklist. She is going to make it hard for us.”

”No shit sherlock. It's all because of you knocked into her. If only you looked where you are going it could be avoided,” his buddy commented, his face grim.

”Don't worry, it couldn't be avoided anyway. We killed so many people today. Who do you think has to clean up the whole mess? Obviously, she is pissed she has to do it,” the only woman in the group assured them, not looking bothered at all. ”We are all in the top ten so we are chilling.”

As she said it, they all looked at Wuxing and the rest, realizing they were being overheard by their direct competitors. Wuxing only smiled and stood up, gazing at Dongmei, ”Let's go, we need to get some more points and kick someone out of top ten just as Ash wished.”

”Sure, I'm already full anyway,” Dongmei replied with a smile, putting her fork away.

The group of eight frowned when they heard it but they didn't say anything, glancing at the other two instructors, Katherine and Anna who were together with them. It would be suicide to actually become enemies with all three main instructors.

When the group walked away to their table, Katherine suggested, ”You two can go, we will stay for a bit more and find you later with Scarlet.”

”Hmm, you sure? Scarlet, you are not coming with us?” Wuxing asked, looking at the confused Scarlet.

Katherine also stood up and walked up to Scarlet, whispering something into her ear. Right after, Scarlet looked at both Dongmei and Wuxing and replied while taking a sip of her drink, ”I will stay for a bit more. Big sis Ash is busy so I can't train anymore anyway.”

”Alright, stay close to them at all times,” Wuxing reminded and took Dongmei's hand, walking down the stairs with her.

They were the target of many stares but it wasn't a surprise. They were the only ones in this base who treated this selection more like a summer vacation than a deadly camp. They were confident nothing would happen to them.

Just as they left the dining area, Dongmei used the opportunity to chat with him, asking playfully, ”How was your chat with Ash?”

Although Wuxing already expected it to happen, he was still not sure how to approach it. He already promised himself to never lie to her so he bit his tongue and told her the truth that was bothering him.

”There is something I need to tell you and I'm not sure if you are going to like it,” Wuxing muttered, looking around to check if there was anyway nearby.

Seeing some people walked behind them, he pulled her into a small forest inside the base, making sure they were alone.

”It's okay, you can tell me anything. What is it?” Dongmei assured him while holding onto his face. ”Let me guess, Ash confessed to you?”

Wuxing couldn't help but show a reaction, his eyes widening but Dongmei only smiled at that as if she already knew.

”How do I know?” She asked herself before words came out of his mouth. ”It was not hard to figure out based on the way Ash looked at you. Wasn't she your best friend for a long time? I'm positive you guys had feelings for each other before you even met me. Am I right?”

”You are right…” Wuxing nodded, embracing her waist while looking into her eyes.

He waited for her decision. If she knew everything then she should already have something in her mind.

Dongmei didn't make him wait too long and muttered, ”Let me guess. After she confessed, you rejected her but she said she will not give up on you this easily and decided to talk about it with me first?”

At that point, Wuxing was truly dumbfounded, not expecting she would be so spot on.
