106 Announcement of the Battle Royale (2/2)
”Settle down...Settle down...I know you are excited. But we still have class.”
Class resumed as normal with a practical. Today it was just simple training. Practice with military combat techniques and the sort.
The day ended without any trouble leaving Wang Mei with a sense of relief. Wang Mei left the class after dismissing the children and headed to the headmaster's office. Along the way, she was joined with Jun Fan who happened to be chatting with Lu Xi.
'Were they always this close?'
”Ah...what a bother...”
”Big Sis is there a problem?”
Jun Fan chuckled a bit looking at her feeling down. He was the type of person who would get amused over these minor things.
”This idiot randomly picked the assessment...kuku...and it happened to be the most annoying one to manage.”
Lu Xi stared at her with a frozen expression. He was just about to feel bad for her getting stuck with the battle royale assessment. Turns out she brought this upon herself.
”Wait...that wasn't the choice of the principal?”
”Shut it...I am not in the mood.”
The group headed to the principal's office. Wang Mei entered the room followed closely by Jun Fan and Lu Xi. There seemed to be many staff members already present in the room. As soon as they entered, the meeting was able to proceed. Although it all seemed to be a blur, the main contents of the meeting was discussing the assessment. Wang Mei felt a few judgmental looks on her when she spoke out about what the first years are doing. Of course, this was only part of her imagination and there was no comment on her choices. Everything else seemed like a blur as her mine was too preoccupied with the problems that could arise. As they left, she was still in a dazed state.
”Sister Wang...Sister Wang!”
Lu Xi looked at her in worry. He may have been one of the few who noticed something different about her throughout the meeting.
”Huh...oh it's you...what's wrong?”
”What do you mean what's wrong...what's wrong with you?”
”Oh it's nothing...”
Wang Mei's complexion was considerably paler than before.
”You seem out.”
”It's nothing really...”
”Are you sure? If you say so... Just remember you are a capable person. You don't need to worry about such trivial things. If you need anyone to talk to..just remember you're little bro Lu Xi has your back.”
Lu Xi gave a warm smile. Wang Mei grinned feeling slightly cheered up. She placed her hands on Lu Xi's head and violently shook it.
”When has the little Lu Xi gotten so smooth at talking?...been seeing girls behind big sister's back? Hahaha...let big sister treat you to a drink.”
Wang Mei took hold of Lu Xi and dragged him to her favorite bar. Of course, it was inevitable that it was up to Lu Xi to drag her back home. This time, Wang Mei slept with a smirk on her face looking forward to the next day.
