"Oh? The mysterious beauty?" said a low tone. Taking a step back to have a better view of Mei Ling, he realized he was right.
Rubbing her nose cutely, she said in a soft whisper that didn't sound apologetic at all, "Sorry."
The two friends behind the guy she bumped into leaned forward a bit and whistled. "It really is the mysterious beauty! We were just talking about you!"
Hu Hei showed a disgusted look on her face, but didn't retort back. Nudging towards Mei Ling, she whispered softly, "The guy in front that you just bumped into is Tu Ming. He's the son of the CEO of the company, Vida, so we can't provoke him. Do you know Vida? His friends behind him can be considered his lackeys."
Of course she knew Vida. It was considered to be a powerful company, but that was for the ignorant. Vida was actually just a middle-rate company. Compared to her big brother, Lu Jiang's company, it was considered to be just a measly pest. Even if Lu Jiang was only a vice-CEO, his power was ten-folds of Tu Ming's father.
However, to Mei Ling not being late for class was the biggest problem right now. She could offend him, but she would be late. Deciding on the best choice for the present situation, she said a "Really? I'm surprised you guys would know about me, I'm honored! If you don't mind, I have to get to class or I'll be late. Good-bye!"
Mei Ling had tried to tone down her sarcasm when she said that, but no matter what it sounded sarcastic. Dragging Hu Hei into the first building, they scanned their identity cards and hurried into the elevator. Pressing the seventh floor button like nothing just happened, Hu Hei suddenly screamed like a fan girl, "Ah! That was so cool, you even dared to leave with Tu Ming there!"
Quizzically looking at her, it seemed as though Mei Ling just realized that most kids wouldn't have been allowed to leave without Tu Ming's command. Rolling her eyes inside, she thought that was the most childish thing she had ever heard of in this life. Even if this Tu Ming was a bully, she would be able to squash him down anytime!
Hu Hei then grew serious and said in a tiny voice, "Mei Ling...although I don't know what family you're from, I have to remind you that Tu Ming often bullies the people that interest him in any way. You have to be careful! I heard that a senior who was almost about to graduate with flying grades never got to graduate after he provoked him."
Pfft, small fry! However, seeing Hu Hei's real concern for her, her heart softened and said amicably "Thank you, I understand."
Hu Hei's brows wrinkled. It seemed this girl didn't actually understand! Whatever, I've warned her already so she should have the basic idea.
Walking hurriedly to their class, they sat down in the middle of the front row. Taking their binders out, they realized that many of the people in the large room were staring in their direction. More precisely, at Mei Ling! To the people sitting around Mei Ling, it seemed as though they were sitting next to a celebrity!
Some kids kept whispering, "Hey...you think that's the girl on forums?"
"I think so...compare the photos do you see the shoes are the same?"
"She's so beautiful! Her hair seems so bouncy and her skin looks flawless! I'm going to ask her what products she uses later."
"Yo...these beauties tend to be arrogant, don't you think that's a bad idea?"
"That's right..."
Someone yelled "Beauty, look over here!"
Prepared, Mei Ling turned around and smiled tenderly like those models posing for the camera. Hearing a crazily amount of "Ik!" sounds from the phones of the students in the room, she started blushing and many people took a picture of that too!
"Waaa! She doesn't seem aloof or arrogant at all!"
"She's so pretty! Prettier than Bai LianHua too!"
"I agree. Everyone says Bai LianHua is Jin Long Academy's campus beauty. She needs to be put in her place and compare herself with the new mysterious beauty! This new beauty is on a higher level than her!"
Suddenly, everyone seemed to quiet down when a handsome man came in.
"Who's that?" Mei Ling quietly asked over to Hu Hei.
Hu Hei seemed to fear this man and said quickly, "Our professor!"
The professor? Why did everyone seem afraid of him?
Hu Hei took the chance for the man to look away and hurriedly murmured, "He is Professor Tian! He's the youngest teacher to ever teach in Jin Long Academy and every other college similar to ours. Don't be fooled by his good lucks, he seems gentle but he's really strict! Once he starts going into his teaching mode, many people suffer in his hands. Most people are still bawling even when the class has ended!"
