Chapter 134: Too Speechless!
Lan Xinyu rested at home for a period of time, but she recovered very quickly and continued to study at school. She was not depressed, nor was she unwilling to leave the house to meet people. It was just that those who were alert noticed that Lan Xinyu and Shu Yuanfeng were walking together, but Pei Qianqian’s shadow was nowhere to be seen.
In the canteen.
Ling Chuxi was happily taking a drumstick and two chicken wings from Ling Yichen and Xia Zhuoyi’s plate of food. However, in the next moment, the somewhat noisy canteen suddenly went silent. Two people walked in, directly walked over to where Ling Chuxi and the rest were, and sat down opposite Ling Chuxi. They were a boy and a girl.
Everyone in the now silent canteen looked over. The atmosphere seemed to have turned tense.
The young maiden turned her head to look at the people staring at them and shouted coldly, “What are you looking at?”
The crowd shuddered and immediately retracted their gazes, doing whatever they were supposed to be doing. But there were still quite a number of people who tried to peek from the corner of their eyes. It was as if they were all waiting for a good show.
Ling Yichen and Xia Zhuoyi’s faces sank slightly, and they put their guards up against the people sitting opposite them, who did not seem to care. Having brought their own rice and dishes, the newcomers ate their food while staring at Ling Chuxi.
The atmosphere turned odd...
Ling Chuxi only managed to eat two mouthfuls of rice before she raised her head to look at the person opposite her. “Could you not look at me like that during meal time? You’re making me almost unable to swallow my food,” she said rather helplessly.
“You eat yours and I eat mine. How is it related to you?” replied Lan Xinyu. She chewed on her food, but still stared expressionlessly at Ling Chuxi.
That’s right! The person who was eating opposite Ling Chuxi was Lan Xinyu! Lan Xinyu and Shu Yuanfeng were sitting opposite Ling Chuxi with their bowls of rice and dishes. And Lan Xinyu was staring at Ling Chuxi without a word. Even when she was picking up her food and eating rice, her gaze never once shifted.
This gaze really made Ling Chuxi lose her appetite. Even if it were someone else, who could swallow their food when they were being stared at like this while eating?
“What exactly do you want?” asked Ling Chuxi exasperatedly.
“I want to defeat you,” replied Lan Xinyu seriously, taking a bite of her braised meat.
“Then just get lost to train!” Ling Chuxi waved her chopsticks in annoyance. “Wait until you have the ability. Then, come and challenge me.”
“My grandfather asked me to keep my eye on you. He asked me to watch how you train and to learn from you.” Lan Xinyu scooped a spoonful of rice into her mouth, but her gaze still did not move from Ling Chuxi’s face.
“Asking you to keep an eye on me does not mean this.” Ling Chuxi really wanted to smear the whole bowl of rice in her hand onto Lan Xinyu’s face.
“My grandfather is right. Without setbacks, I will never grow.” Lan Xinyu’s gaze held an unprecedented determination. “I thank you for this setback you have given me. I will become stronger. Just wait, I will seek you out to duel once again.”
All the people seated there were stunned. Especially Ling Yichen and Xia Zhuoyi. They never thought that this proud young maiden would actually say such words now. In the past, she had always walked with her nose pointed to the sky and was insufferably arrogant.
Now that she had actually said such sincere words of gratitude, it had indeed shocked everyone. It was just that, Ling Chuxi’s words that followed after left everyone speechless.
“Oh? Can’t you show a little sincerity if you are thanking me?” said Ling Chuxi rather discourteously. She did not seem to be touched at all. “If you want to show your gratitude, go and buy me a few dishes. And a couple of roasted chicken wings.”
Both Lan Xinyu and the crowd were left speechless.
