47 Midnight Stroll (1/2)
It was night when they reach the Imperial Palace.
Lengleng was dumbfounded with what she saw. Certainly she knew the Bai Shin Lin was a nobility but never did she imagine that she's living inside the palace. With the way she act, she taught that she's some daughter of a somewhat clean noble in the outskirt of town.
”Come on” when she look at her she was extending her hands. She took her hand and went down the carriage. They already enter the main gate and walking towards her residence.
Earlier, when they reach the academy a carriage was already waiting for her. A beautiful woman went down the carriage. Lengleng, as a courtesy bow down to her head towards the lady. Bai Shin Lin smile awkwardly to her. Later she knew that girl is just an attendant. She's more beautiful than a princess and her way is more elegant than anyone plus he's a man!
While on their way, she could feel an ominous glare being throw by that attendant towards Princess Lin, however the other party seems not to mind it and continue talking to her. She doesn't want the Princess to be scolded because of her so apologized at their unannounced visit at first.
”I'm sorry for the convenience me and my sister brought” Leng was talking to Xia and sincerely giving her apology.
The woman just smile at her but she could feel the dark clouds hanging at her back. She then transfer her sinister smile to Princess Lin and gives her a shivering sense.
”Ifthere's someone whose fault it is, I do surely know who it is…Right?” She said while her attention to the Princess.
Princess Lin answer her sarcasm with a laughter ”hahaha, who knows I don't really know. Why don't we just let this slide for a moment since neither of the party will be at the disadvantage? If you continue being grumpy, your face will become wrinkly and will old twice as your age.”
”I wonder whose face will suffer a wrath afterwards” Xia
It's like a battle between a hyena and a tigress.
Leng was confused were to head her stare. Both has strong personality that will not back down any moment.
”Do you feel, inconvenience Leng that I brought you here?” Bai Shin Lin turning towards her.
”ahh, no Milady. It's the contrast. I feel lucky that you invited me in your magnificent palace”
Bai Shin Lin turns her head again to Xia
”See, she was happy. So no regrets right?”
She could see the woman's eyebrow, perk upward.
Leng lean towards Bai Shin Lin's ear and whisper, ”maybe we should consider revisiting sometime. It seems your attendant in against it. After all were talking about the palace here”
Bai Shin Lin shakes her head. It should be today.
She was just advice not to mind her attendant. He's always like that.
Now that she was inside the palace, Bai Shin Lin led them to her room. The attendant that was with them was nowhere to be found.
A young maidservant enters their room. Bringing snacks to their party.
Leng turn around to inspect the surrounding and she was mesmerized. What kind of room is this? The decorations, up to the things inside are somewhat strange to her. Even though she's familiar with high class standard of living, but this ambiance exudes a weirdly sense.
Bai Shin Lin's room exudes a rooms similar to her world. A fluffy bed. A simple working table with bookstand and pencil holder. A battery type-rice cooker, oven and electric fan. Since there is no electricity she can't still afford to have electric base appliances. All of these were the things Xia summoned for her.
Leng was served with a strange snack.
A crystalline glass of black water was serve to her. Along with a wrapped circly thing.
She took it, looking suspicious at Bai Shin Lin.
However, upon putting the foods on the table, she immediately gobbled up her portion. Like a hungry leopard that haven't eaten for a month.
Mei followed Bai Shin Lin and gobbled the food.
”!” Mei expressions sky-rocked.
”Sister! This is so good!”
Leng followed Mei and started to eat her share.
This is different from the foods that she had eaten in her entire life. Plus the bubbly effect on her mouth of the liquid that she drank leaves an oozing feeling inside.
”What is this?!”
”Taste fantastic right? It's my favourite. Burger and coke after a long journey!!!”
