Chapter 9: When Girls Get Together, They Talk About Boys
Mr. Yang stopped and looked at me with a disdainful expression, “You better have a good reason, or else…” He raised his right hand, and a divine light flashed.
Gulp. I swallowed nervously.
“What is it?” He coldly looked down at me, his right hand ready to smack me against the wall.
I quickly said, “I have! I have! Um…” My brain was spinning at an unprecedented speed. Even when I was late for class, I never thought so seriously about an excuse. A chill began to gather around Mr. Yang, and I immediately said, “I need to take a leave of absence!”
He slowly retracted his divine power and looked at me with scorn, “The Immortal Realm does not allow leaves of absence.”
Senior Jiang Yu and the others ran over and stood at a distance.
I lifted my chin defiantly and fearlessly said, “I am a mortal, and I should have the rights of a mortal. Today is the National Day, the day of my country’s liberation! I love my country, I love my party! The Anti-Japanese War is the best proof of our unity as human beings! Therefore, I want to celebrate my country’s birthday!” Yes! I want a holiday for National Day! I’m a patriotic little paper.
Mr. Yang looked at me with disdain for a moment, then said, “Fine.”
“That’s great!” I jumped up excitedly, “Thank you, Teacher Yang!”
He continued to look at me with an unchanged expression, “Tomorrow is October 8th, so you have to come to class as usual.”
Immediately!
My jaw dropped!
This lifetime!
I’ve never hated October 8th so much!
Why–
In an instant, everything went wrong. My head started to ache again, and I felt weak all over. My vacation was gone, just like that. The leave I had managed to get from the terrifying Mr. Yang.
Back in the dorm, Mo Ming still hadn’t returned. This short-circuited guy must know he did something wrong and is avoiding me. But I know he won’t leave me, so he must be hiding somewhere, secretly watching me.
Hei Mei accepted my invitation and joined us in the useless house. Jiang Yu was tied up like a dog outside, and Si Yinuo was playing with Xiao Bai to keep him entertained.
I pulled Mao Mao aside, and the three of us girls entered “girl time” in my room.
I hugged a pillow, feeling depressed. Hei Mei chewed gum and played games on the floor, while Mao Mao looked at her phone in surprise and exclaimed, “I didn’t expect my brother to be so cunning. He actually knows about Fu Su being suppressed.”
I held my slightly feverish head and said with a muffled voice, “Stop talking~~~”
“Why are you bothering, Xia Xiao Lan?” Hei Mei blew a bubblegum bubble nonchalantly while playing her game. “That’s a matter for the boys. Let them solve it themselves.”
“But! But he shouldn’t have said that we slept in the same room.” I lowered my voice, knowing that Mo Ming must be nearby.
Mao Mao smirked ambiguously, and Hei Mei glanced at me indifferently, “What’s the big deal? In the Immortal Realm, it’s common for boys and girls to share a room. You’re just a rookie, but you got involved with Wang Dian’s people, so it got blown out of proportion by public opinion.”
“Yeah, yeah.” Mao Mao nodded repeatedly. “Xiao Lan, you really don’t have to worry. It’s normal for the Wolf Clan to sleep in their master’s room. It’s common in the Immortal Realm. People are just jealous of you. You’re just a mortal and the newest recruit in the Immortal Realm, but you immediately caught the attention of Wang Dian. So many girls are jealous of you. You’re practically the enemy of all girls in the Immortal Realm!”
“What?!” Suddenly, I felt like my life was in danger!
“That’s normal, you know~~~” Hei Mei said nonchalantly while playing her game. “When you arrived, you received help from Feng Ling Can, and you almost got bitten by the God of Light. You attracted Fu Su’s attention on the plane, and he sat next to you. In the Immortal Realm, even the aloof Xuan YuanChen let you ride in his car. Someone had already made a special webpage about you, reporting on your every move~~”
“What?! How come I didn’t know?!”
Mao Mao quietly raised her hand. “Actually… I’ve been keeping an eye on it. Look.” She placed her phone in front of me. Oh my god! Someone really made a website about me, all about my life, and even videos of my missions. I felt a shiver run down my spine, as if I was being constantly watched, with no privacy whatsoever!
“Why would they do this?!” I angrily looked at the webpage, and Mao Mao quickly took her phone back, as if she was afraid I would get mad and throw it.
“For clicks, for money, you know.” Hei Mei said nonchalantly, “Didn’t your video also help you get a new student gift pack? Just take it easy~~~ Because you’re the first pure mortal in the Immortal Realm, you’ll naturally attract more attention. It’ll pass after a while~~”
“Hoo – hoo -” I took a deep breath. Hei Mei was right, I should just take it easy. If I get caught up in entertainment gossip, I’ll lose. Everyone just likes novelty. Once I become old news, no one will pay attention to me anymore.
“Xiao Lan, sister…” Mao Mao sneakily glanced at me, cautiously asking, “So… what kind of guy do you actually like?”
I buried my head again, “Stop talking about it, the more I talk about it, the more I regret it. Three years of secretly liking a scumbag, I don’t want guys now. Oh, by the way, what about you?” I looked up at her, changing the topic, “When are you planning to use that hair removal cream?” I raised an eyebrow, and Mao Mao’s sapphire eyes immediately sparkled. She hid her blushing face behind the pillow, “I, I, I haven’t decided yet.”
I leaned closer and bumped her, “Come on, tell me, who is it exactly~~~~”
Mao Mao hid her face even deeper, “He… maybe he’s not as eye-catching as others, but… he’s the best in my heart…”
I drooped my eyelids and looked at her, “Not to dampen your spirits, but when I liked that scumbag, I also thought he was the best in the whole world.”
“Guys are experts at hiding~~” Hei Mei said boredly, rolling her eyes, “They only show their best side to everyone, but deep down they’re all the same. Just like girls, they can only perform mechanical actions. Mao Mao, does that guy like you just the way you are?”
Mao Mao buried her head even lower, and I immediately looked at Hei Mei, “You don’t have to be so direct either.”
“Tch.” Hei Mei also rolled her eyes at me, “Being hurt by the guy you like is the real tragedy. I’m just giving a reminder. Like me, I’m just like this. If you really like me, you’ll accept me as I am. If you can’t, then you definitely don’t truly like me.”
I looked at Mao Mao again, “Mao Mao, actually Hei Mei has a point. You should be cautious. Maybe there really are guys who will accept you just the way you are?”
“How is that possible…” Hei Mei said from behind the pillow, her emotions reaching a low point. It felt like a huge black cloud enveloped her entire body.
Uh… low pressure is quite powerful…
I looked at Hei Mei, “Hei Mei, what kind of guy do you like?” Trying to lighten the mood.
Hei Mei didn’t hesitate to pause her game and retreat into the world of her phone, “Of course, it’s him!”
I took a look, it was the Black-Clad Boss. As expected, asking her directly was pointless. I directly covered her phone, “Come on, be serious!”
Hei Mei gave me an annoyed look, “Anything goes, as long as he’s a virgin!”
“Pfft!” Mao Mao burst out laughing from behind the pillow.
A virgin! Is it really harder to find a virgin in this world than a thousand-year-old turtle?!?!
