Silence followed her words.
"You know that's not allowed. Killing a student is not allowed." Young Master Xie spoke.
"Is that so?"
"Didn't you read the rules?"
"No." Lyca smiled. Of course she knew the rules. She was not planning on killing anyone. At least… not yet.
"And the poison?" Young Master Xie said. "Tell us its contents!" He was challenged to drink poison! It was normal for him to show concern about this matter.
"Are you a chemist?" Lyca raised an eyebrow.
"No. None of us are experts in chemicals." Long Yi said. After what happened to Lin Tao's neck, his view towards Lyca had already changed. However, he didn't tell anyone about this matter as he was planning to use this in the future to control her. Who would have thought that she would blatantly challenge someone using poisons?
Long Yi can't seem to understand why Lyca would expose a secret like that.
"Oh. Then No. Bring a chemist if you want." Lyca said as she tossed a card in front of them. When they saw a card, not one of them spoke. Lyca Huang is actually a licensed chemical engineer. Are they really going to argue about chemicals with someone like her?
"Lyca dear… I think there's no need for this, right?" Huang Ying said. "Chemicals… are highly dangerous. Why would you want people to drink something that you concocted?"
"For fun." She answered with a straight face. She was supposed to say lab rats but that would be too much for their faint little hearts to handle. She eyed Zhang Zhi and Young Master Long. These two people… should be the one responsible for sending that fatty?
"Our Lyca is truly adorable." Huang Ying faked a laughter as she looked at the younger people in front of her. "Please… don't mind her. She has been raised abroad and does not understand protocol that much."
"Oh? Abroad?" Long Yi uttered. He had been thinking how to engage Lyca into an entertaining conversation. However, it seems that this young miss refused to give them some face. Well… if she indeed grew up abroad, that would explain her lack of manners. Well then… it seems that he needed to act himself. "Aunt Ning and her son, Young Master Zhang needed to talk in private. I think we should leave. As for you Young Lady Huang… please follow me, I will give you a tour inside the building."
"Brother Long… I want to accompany you." Ling Nana spoke for the first time, her gentle voice was accompanied by a gentle smile on her face.
"Hmmm. Do what you want." Long Yi said as he rose from his seat and led Lyca out of the room with Ling Nana following closely behind them.
"Miss Huang…" Ling Nana didn't give Long Yi the opportunity to speak. She immediately held Lyca's hands. "Aunt Ying said you were from abroad? May I know what country?"
"No." Lyca said.
"Ai… Miss Huang is truly peculiar." Ling Nana giggled, hiding the embarrassment in her eyes. "We already know which country from your files."
"Then why ask?" Lyca said with a straight face. She looked at the rooms in the second floor, silently scanning for the kitchen. She came here thinking these people would offer her food. Tsk. Lyca clicked her tongue, extremely irritated.
When Ling Nana heard this, her face immediately flushed. She eyed Long Yi who was silently walking next to her. Seeing the lack of reaction in Long Yi's face, Ling Nana felt even more aggrieved. She lowered her head, hiding the uncomfortable expression on her face.
Lyca on the other hand ignored this. She slowly shook off Ling Nana's hands and continued looking for food. Wasn't it normal for the one who invited another over to offer food? Why didn't they offer her food? Not offering your guests anything was as cruel as slapping them in the face. Lyca continued grumbling inwardly.
"This building has five suite rooms. One of which is my room. The other student council members live in this building too." Long Yi said. "All suite rooms are located on the second floor." He continued while observing Lyca's reaction.
Lyca nodded in response. Who cares about the suite rooms when they can't even offer her good food? "Young Master Long… Young Miss Ling. I have to go now." She said.
"Why? Do you have somewhere you need to be? If you want, I can ask someone to inform them that you will be canceling this appointment and—"
"I'm hungry." Lyca interrupted Long Yi.
"Oh." Long Yi nodded. "Do you want me to bring you to the banquet hall?"
"…" Was this even a question that one needed to ask? Lyca fought the urge to kick this stupid man. "No. I will leave first." Without waiting for them to respond, Lyca already turned her back against them. She hated stupid people who couldn't understand her simple words. As expected, Shen Qui was still the best person with the best comprehension in this school.
Ignoring the gaze of the two student council members, Lyca left the building and immediately went back to her room. Her understanding about these people had increased once again. Lyca immediately decided to avoid talking to those people again. She feels that being with them would make her starve from hunger. That did not sound too good. Nope… not at all.
When Lyca arrived in her room, an egg was already there but Shen Qui wasn't. A note that said he is out buying pots was left on the table for Lyca to read. When she read this, Lyca could only nod and went back to her bed. It seems that she still needed to suffer before she could eat her fill.
Well… this was the product of being cautious which was her choice all along. So… she couldn't really complain.
So, Lyca decided to sleep instead. She didn't concern herself about the student council members that not anyone would have the opportunity to talk to. Or her Aunt Ying and Zhang Zhi clearly being on the Long Family's side. Nope. This was not as important as her food and … sleep.
