"It seems our Feng Hua is doing quite well for herself," Feng Tianzhi leaned back comfortably, before changing the subject, "But why do I feel like you have a biased view of ?"
"I’m sorry to give you that impression," Luo Ye replied with a faint smile, then turned to Mo Datong, "Head Instructor, may I use the kitchen key?"
Mo Datong outright refused, "Luo Ye, you know the rules."
Luo Ye and Xing Nong exchanged a helpless look—they had anticipated this outco. They had intended to be truthful, but with Feng Tianzhi present, they couldn’t reveal the real reason. Hesitating, Luo Ye said, "Head Instructor, I’ll be leaving."
"Alright!"
"Wait a minute!"
Both Mo Datong and Feng Tianzhi spoke almost at the sa ti.
Luo Ye looked at Mo Datong with a questioning gaze. Mo Datong nodded, so Luo Ye stopped and turned to Feng Tianzhi, "May I ask if you have any instructions?"
Feng Tianzhi chuckled, "Instructions is a bit much to say; I have two boxes of luncheon at here, do you want them?"
"No, thank you!" Luo Ye shook her head, "If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave."
"Aren’t you curious as to why I’m here?" Feng Tianzhi studied Luo Ye.
"I never realized you were such a gossip..." Luo Ye curled her lip, "Do I even need to ask? Either you’re the Head Instructor’s comrade-in-arms, or his classmate, or his childhood friend... Oh, a childhood friend seems unlikely, your accent doesn’t match. Regardless of the possibility, it’s none of my business."
"Smart, sharp-tongued, interesting!" Feng Tianzhi stood up, "Since you’ve accused of gossiping, let indulge; are you really Ye Xuan’s fiancée?"
"What’s it to you?" Luo Ye glared at him discontentedly, then looked at Mo Datong, "Head Instructor, are you just going to watch him bully your student?"
Mo Datong appeared stunned, sowhat incoherent, "No... it’s not like that. Luo Ye, is... is what he said true? About you being Ye Xuan’s fiancée?"
"Head Instructor, I refuse to answer such a question!" Luo Ye’s displeasure grew, "You’re the Head Instructor, is it appropriate for you to ask this?"
"I’m sorry, I apologize." Mo Datong quickly said, "I was just shocked by the news. Feng Tianzhi, Ye Xuan, and I were all classmates. Everyone knows about Ye Xuan’s aversion to won; this... it’s... I’m sorry."
"Yeah, I was also curious, hence my question," Feng Tianzhi stepped forward, "You look about 18? 19? A bit young, aren’t you?"
"I’ll be 18 after the New Year, currently 18 by the lunar calendar. Are you satisfied now?" Luo Ye raised her chin, "You, you’re no match for Brother Ye, not by a long shot!"
"Really? That sounds more like sothing a person of your age would say," Feng Tianzhi sat back down with satisfaction, "Datong, you mustn’t show favoritism during training."
"Luo Ye is very capable, there’s no need for to be biased," Mo Datong waved his hand, "Luo Ye, you can go."
"Report!" Xing Nong suddenly stepped forward.
"What is it?" Mo Datong looked puzzled at Xing Nong.
"I would like to go out with Luo Ye for so extra training, may we?"
"Extra training? Where to?"
"Just outside the training grounds, for an hour or two, may we?"
"I can’t disclose the training plan, but understand, during the selection process, I will not consider any external factors!"
"I understand!"
Mo Datong gestured with his hand, "Fine, if you want to go for extra training, go ahead. I’ll inform Xiao Liang and Xiao Fang at the gate not to stop you."
Feng Tianzhi laughed with a aningful expression, "Forgive my bluntness, but you two aren’t planning to sneak off and steal so corn or sweet potatoes to roast and eat, are you?"
"With pleasure, I’d roast you instead if I could!" Xing Kai showed his teeth fiercely.
"Little girl, you’re quite amusing as well," Feng Tianzhi’s eyes narrowed, "Datong, I’m a bit envious of you, having such a fun treasure under your command. My visit today was truly worthwhile."
"What can I say about that mouth of yours?" Mo Datong waved dismissively at Xing Nong, who was puffing out his cheeks, "Just ignore him, go on out."
...
"This guy can’t even compare to a single hair of Brother Ye’s sweat!" Xing Nong muttered while walking, and after making sure no one was around, nudged Luo Ye, "Shall we take out the valve cores from his car tires?"
"That would be too obvious it was us, wouldn’t it?" Luo Ye curled her lip.
"You’re right!" Xing Nong scratched her head, "It’s all his fault, ssing up our plans and causing us this extra hassle, so annoying."
Luo Ye glanced at Xing Nong, "Are you thinking of going to our dayti hideout to steal so ginger?"
"Luoluo, you’re too clever, you guessed it right away," Xing Nong hugged Luo Ye’s arm, "I think that fresh ginger must be better than the dried stuff from the cafeteria. By the ti we get back, Feng Annoying should have left. Then we can explain to the Head Instructor, and he’ll surely let us use the kitchen."
