PART 06 The New School, A Symbol of Nobility
"Did you intentionally shorten your skirt? Can you not be provocative for just one day?" His face was ashen, marked by a strong expression of disdain
What are they? I put down the clothes in my hands
As soon as I got out of the car, I was momentarily at a loss for words, taken aback by the scene before me.
I slowly moved my steps, recalling what Mom Xiao said during her phone call at noon: "Darling, congratulations on joining the tennis club at St. Paul, that is a gathering place for elites"
Are you Miss Mi of the Xiao family? She was very curious about me, jumped over, took my hand, and was quite enthusiastic
"The ugly woman causes trouble." He looked at me with aversion, casually took off his coat and threw it over, then awkwardly turned his head and said, "Please cover your fat legs, they are offending others' eyes."
I felt quite embarrassed, huddled at the entrance of the conference room
After taking a few steps, he turned around and looked at me in confusion: "Meow, meow, after such a long separation, you actually have not said a word to me?"
I smiled at him awkwardly
What do I ask him for? I scratch my head and smile awkwardly: "Alright, Gu Xiaoshao, I beg you, could you please let everyone eat first?" I haven't had lunch, and I was brought here, and now I'm so hungry that my stomach is touching my back
Xiao Mi | When did Mi become so close with him
Blood spread at the corners of our lips, and in surprise, both his eyes and mine widened. At such a close distance, it appeared comical.
My stomach let out a couple of untimely growls, and I looked at him with a more pitiful gaze, trying my best to imagine myself as a little abandoned puppy
Suddenly, the door to the tennis room swung open, and a chorus of gasps resounded magnificently, with some students even breaking into a two-step round of gasps.
St. Paul Elite School is jointly established by the four prominent families, and the students within are all children of various financial conglomerates. The entire academy is under strict closed management, with bodyguards and electrified security devices surrounding the walls.
He is at home
I stared at him above, calmly raising my hand to wipe the bloodstains from the corner of my mouth, and said with a smile: "Come on, I don't have a penchant for self-harm, but Gu Xiaoshao, you must have a persecution complex!"
What a chaotic club. "What about the tennis club?" I asked curiously
I cleared my throat and couldn't help but glance at him; it is akin to a beautiful landscape. There are certain individuals whom heaven has endowed with striking appearances, solely for the purpose of public admiration
"What is the nature of the family property?" I raised my voice and asked in astonishment
The tree-lined avenue extends from the main gate of the school, and at the end of the long and wide road stands a fountain sculpture of a mermaid. Water droplets splash around the fountain, surprisingly forming a faint rainbow bridge at the edge of the white jade railing
I have completely given up my expectations for the person before me, someone from a wealthy background, who has always been domineering and lacking in decency. No matter how infatuated Xiao Mi was with him in the past, for me, he has only one outcome, and that is... eliminated
I knew it all along, in a house that feels like a prison, how could I possibly maintain any "privacy"
"Therefore, my dear, you must stay there no matter what." Xiao's mother spoke with a serious tone, laced with a hint of threat, "In that case, I will not pursue the matter of Xiao Bieting having you refill your soup after the meal."
Ah! I screamed and jumped back, watching in astonishment as colorful confetti shot out from the cannon, my mouth agape.
Ah... are they... an underground affair
In fact, my legs are not only not fat, but also very beautiful. I discovered this long ago when I was losing weight at Xiao Family Hospital. Xiao Mi's excess fat is mainly concentrated in her abdomen and upper body, while her legs are long and very attractive. After so many days of skin tightening, they are now even smoother and fairer.
"I was afraid you would feel uncomfortable coming here alone, so I came to pick you up!" He smiled brilliantly, his eyes like autumn waters, dark and glossy under the sunlight. Strangely, he always carried a gentle emotion, radiating warmth towards me.
She smiled shyly and said, "Of course I want to, but I am hesitating about which one to join"
Gu Xiaoshao's lips twitched slightly as he fixed his gaze on me, remaining silent for a long while. Then, he slowly raised his hand and swung it forcefully, causing the silver clasp on his chest to shimmer and sway: "The meeting is adjourned"
I gently touch my belly, filled with joy, and follow Dongfang Wuyou towards the door
"By the way, Mi | Mi, will you join the club?" She tilted her head to look at me
Facing the wall, he swung the racket one hundred times. Gu Xiaoshao turned on the light
Gu Xiaoshao squinted his eyes and suddenly smiled faintly: "If she wants to come in, she can. " He looked at me coldly, his eyes filled with deep disdain, "Unless she can win a game against me."
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck both of us who were embracing at the same time. Because our lips, with the rolling of these three or four circles, were tightly pressed together
None of these are the main points; the main issue is that the skirt of this school uniform is frighteningly short. With just a slight movement, there is a risk of an embarrassing exposure. How can I practice my swings in place under such circumstances
I am from the Liu family, Liu Shanshan. She stuck out her tongue playfully, gesturing, "It's the one that does the painting."
In life, how many times can one truly strive? If I cannot strive, then I might as well continue taking hormones
Well, I will go by myself. I took the bag from his hand, smiled at the astonished workers, and walked in by myself
"What club?" I stood in the dormitory hall, handling the handover procedures. Upon hearing his words, I felt quite displeased. This person from the Dongfang family is rather overbearing, isn't he? Without asking me anything, he unilaterally made a decision for me.
I resigned myself to picking up the racket, running back and forth to hit the ball. That small ball bounced from side to side, either hitting my forehead or striking my body. Although it was forcefully returned each time, my racket never made contact with it even once
Everyone present gasped in shock. I saw Dongfang Wuyou's brows slowly furrow.
"Mi, come here." Dongfang Wuyou calmly waved to me from outside the door, smiling as he called me.
He is truly a malicious man. I took the tennis racket he handed me and followed him as we walked towards the indoor tennis court
I was filled with rage, and my hand swung the racket with increased force. That small ball was finally caught by me once; as my hand lifted the racket and struck down, the narrow rubber band stretched out long, hitting the wall and rebounding back in a U shape. I was caught off guard, standing there in a daze, watching the ball zoom back towards me.
"Xiao, stay behind," Gu Xiaoshao said, pouting at me and gesturing towards the table. "After you tidy up the table, go and hit the tetherball a hundred times. Don't say I didn't give you any guidance." He extended his long, beautiful fingers and gently pushed, causing the door to slam shut with a bang, leaving only the two of us in the conference room
He suddenly stopped, turned around, and stared at me with wide eyes, his gaze sparkling.
"Are you coming or not?" He impatiently pulled open the door to the conference room, took several long strides, and stopped not far away to look at me. "Don't use hunger as an excuse; your fat reserves are more than sufficient. Going hungry for a week won't hurt. You should consider yourself lucky that the president is personally mentoring you! You must know that our tennis club is the most fair and just organization in the entire school!" He grinned widely, exuding an extreme sense of wickedness. You must know that our tennis club is the most fair and just organization in the entire school!" He grinned widely, exuding an extreme sense of wickedness.
He was dressed in a fitted suit made of dark blue velvet, revealing a section of a white shirt with a stand-up collar. The shirt's collar button was a sapphire encased in pure silver, with a shiny silver chain attached to the back, connecting to the collar of the suit. With each step he took, the silver chain swayed, accentuating his tall and slender figure, as if he were a prince emerging from a medieval European castle. He was likely wearing the uniform of the Saint Elite.
A few brief sentences evoke a multitude of emotions in me
It is uncomfortable, it obstructs my vision. I sulk and puff out my cheeks to blow the hair off my forehead
I saw in his extraordinarily beautiful peach blossom eyes a sense of delight at the success of his mischief
Hello, I am Xiao Mi | Mi. I smiled
She was startled: "Of course, they are all the girlfriends of the club members"
Under the light, I saw him secretly glancing at me with a sidelong look. Upon catching my gaze, his face flushed, and he angrily said, "Enough of your nonsense, go hit the ball."
I swallowed and rubbed my foot against the ground. It turned out to be real grass, and under such hot lights, wouldn't it die very quickly
I felt very awkward under his gaze and forced a smile, saying, "Well, after I fell off the horse, I forgot quite a few things."
Xiao Mi, stop right now," he shouted
"Mi | Mi. Why aren't you speaking? In the past, it was always you who made me talk." He casually took my large pink suitcase with wheels and turned back, seemingly unconcerned, asking, "Where is your little follower, Young Master Xiao?"
... ...
Surprise! In the dark shade of the trees leaned a tall figure, backlit by the sun, lazily holding a cylindrical object with its opening directed towards me
Alas, my ideal is to spend these two or three years in a disorganized and undisciplined manner, enjoying a carefree life
"Mi, you must remember!" He slowed his pace and walked alongside me, "At no time do you have the right to forget me!" he said through gritted teeth
What does it mean? I followed him quietly, clutching the hem of my clothes.
"Miss, are you really not going to let us in? But Young Master Xiao..." The worker with the bag looked at me with a conflicted expression, then glanced at the large pink wheeled suitcase he was holding. It was a very large piece of luggage, at least three times bigger than the small wheeled bags available on the market. Inside were some of my clothes for this season, along with accessories, snacks, and various other items. Xiao had packed a huge bag; if I hadn't insisted on streamlining a bit, I doubt even such a large bag would have been able to hold everything.
Your smile is utterly disgusting!" His sharp tongue struck again, successfully freezing my calm smile on my face.
I turned my head weakly, and my forehead throbbed with pain
Tennis club? I frowned, is that thing very complicated
Liu Shanshan runs back and forth behind me, occasionally handing me some objects
I will say it again, if she joins, I will withdraw from the group! The one speaking is naturally Xiao Mi, the formidable nemesis of Mi, Gu Xiao Shao.
The dormitory accommodates two people. When I entered, my roommate's luggage had already been packed. She has a round little face, and her eyes are also round and bright. The corners of her mouth are naturally turned up, giving her a perpetual smile.
"Tennis club." He smiled and ruffled my hair, "Mimi, if you get any thinner, I might not recognize you."
He was taken aback for a moment, then laughed heartily: "Mi | Mi, your puffy face looks just the same as ever!"
Oh, it turns out to be a family business that has recently emerged. I smiled and began to pack my luggage
He demonstrated a swing of the racket, with a tennis ball secured by a rubber band at the corner of the wall, bouncing vigorously with his motion
He paused for a moment and continued: "Still just like a pig"
The girls' dormitory is entirely in a princess style, with the common area also exuding a palace-like ambiance. At the entrance, strings of cascading crystal beads hang down, reflecting a soft, elegant yellow glow from each bead, creating a dazzling display. The hall is adorned with vintage dark floral patterns, with each flower exuding a languid charm, extending gracefully from the walls.
"Oh? In this way, wouldn't the lawn suffer significant damage?" I looked up to see Gu Xiaoshao.
She counted on her fingers, one by one: "There is the Etiquette Club, the Home Economics Club, the Costume Club, the Calligraphy and Painting Club ... ... "
A loud bang echoed.
Ah, are you joining?
Boom, a feeling of being struck by lightning numbs my entire body! I silently scream: "I absolutely do not want to be part of the support group! I refuse!"
Alright, it's settled! I slammed my hand on the table and agreed with great enthusiasm, while Dongfang Wuyou raised her eyebrows even higher, looking at me as if I were an idiot
Gu Xiaoshao curled the corner of his mouth, shot me a cold glance, and sneered: "Alright, next Wednesday, at 2 PM, on the tennis court, bring your Eastern Prince, and be ready to take on the challenge." He wore a half-smile, and as he walked past me, he lowered his voice, saying, "Xiao Mimi, if you beg me..." He left his words hanging, looking at me with a smug expression.
She was at a loss for words and looked at me strangely: "The main members of that club are boys, okay? Although there are girls, they all have family backgrounds."
I am furious, and I retorted to him: "Then do not splatter your disgusting saliva on my face!"
The same style of school uniform worn on him loses some of the arrogance he displays in red clothing, while gaining a touch of elegance and nobility. At this moment, his brows and eyes do not lose their beauty due to his great anger; instead, they exude a kind of vitality, akin to a phoenix reborn from the ashes.
Mr. Gu, I believe you should be aware that the rules here allow for family members to accompany. " Dongfang Wuyou reached out and pulled me closer, and although the wording was very polite, there was a sharpness in the tone that brooked no refusal
"It was originally very short." I rolled my eyes. In fact, the reason this skirt appears particularly short on me is that my abdomen and hips are thicker than those of the average girl. When a skirt of that length is stretched horizontally, it looks even shorter.
Upon glancing at the two suspicious patches of rosy color on his face, my own face involuntarily twitched. I obediently took the clothes he tossed over and tied them around my waist
He propped himself up on me, glaring down at me from a height, with a blazing fire burning in his clear, dark eyes: "You did it on purpose, didn't you?"
I look sadly at myself in the short skirt of the school uniform, speechless. The school uniform here is a light purple color, tailored to fit perfectly, making the waists of the girls appear delicate and beautiful. The hairband is made of light purple satin adorned with crystals.
At this point, we have grown to dislike each other even more. In the silence of our glaring stares, the flash of the cameras becomes even more frequent
I turned my eyes and looked at Gu Xiaoshao sitting at the conference table
Mi | Mi, welcome to St. Paul Elite Academy! Aunt Xiao said you came alone today. " The speaker casually tossed aside the cylindrical object in his hand, slowly emerging from the shadows, his face full of smiles. He tilted his head to examine me and sighed, "You have lost a lot of weight, Mi | Mi.
The sudden scream, accompanied by the incessant flashing lights, awakened Gu Xiaoshao and me, who were looking at each other with mutual disdain.
It is truly a magnificent school
"Your long hair looks good, you should never cut it again." He took the crystal nameplate from the dormitory supervisor's hands, "Also, you need to let your bangs cover your forehead." He reached out his hand, brushed my hair, and pulled down some of my bangs to cover my eyes
Gosh, I choked on my saliva! ... frivolous ... ... woman? Me?
He raised his eyebrows, no longer looking at me, turned his head, and walked ahead of me. After a long while, he answered me in a muffled voice: "Mi | Mi, remember my name, I am... Dongfang Wuyou."
I raised my eyebrows and looked at him
His complexion has slightly improved, but after watching me swing the racket a few times, he sneered repeatedly: "It is said that beautiful women are empty-headed, but I didn't expect that ugly women are even more so."
He scoffed with a smile: "Is he really willing to let you come here alone for class?"
"Fool!" Gu Xiaoshao muttered under his breath, lunging forward and, under the force of gravity, knocked me to the ground, rolling me over three or four times.
It turns out to be the eldest son of the Dongfang family
I opened my mouth, hesitated for a long time, and asked him, "May I ask, who are you?"
You, go swing one hundred times
I am at a loss for words regarding his past with Xiao Mi. The only one who knows the details, Xiao Bie, had to transfer to another school closer to the Xiao Group because he could not stay on campus. I could only twitch my lips and continue to remain silent
A red notebook was tossed from the corner of the conference room; it was the member sign-in sheet
"President, is there training today as well"
"By the way, Mi | Mi, I have signed you up for the same club as mine." Dongfang Wuyou set down my suitcase, turned around, and smiled faintly
Student Gu, I ... ...
I gaze into the distance and take a deep breath
He became uncomfortable under my gaze, and in a fit of anger, he waved his racket to demonstrate: "Do not look at me with such a disgusting gaze, you frivolous woman!"
