Royal News Latest Report:
The National Exam is imminent, and to underscore DK's emphasis on the educational cause, Prince Helian Chengyan will represent the royal family this week to inspect the century-old prestigious—SH School...
The happiness came so suddenly that all the students of SH School were excitedly bewildered!
----
Friday.
The sun shone brightly.
The campus was vibrant and radiant, yet enveloped in an unusual atmosphere of solemnity and sanctity.
Persons unrelated to SH School had been cleared out early.
Rows of military police, impeccably disciplined, stood guard.
Afternoon, two o'clock sharp.
A convoy of a dozen black top-level bulletproof vehicles slowly drove into the lush campus...
Within the school grounds, the hustle and bustle of footsteps and the excited screams surged in the same direction.
Standing outside the security cordon, the overexcited teachers and students eagerly hoped to catch a glimpse of Helian Chengyan's noble countenance.
However, Chi Xingye ran alone towards the empty classrooms, against the crowded flow. She wouldn't join the frenzy!
"Chi Xingye! Wait for me!"
Behind her followed Miss Lin Yingying, with her urgent call like a death knell. Chi Xingye didn't stop for a moment as she returned to the classroom, pulling out her backpack from the drawer and searching through it quickly.
Aunt Flo had visited early—ah, the hassle of being a woman!
Search, search, search!
After a good while, Chi Xingye finally found that pink-wrapped pad buried in her messy bag.
She sighed with relief, "'Vampire,' I've finally found you!"
Just as she was about to get up.
The pursuing Lin Yingying, panting heavily, blocked her way.
She placed an exquisitely wrapped gift box on her desk.
The palm-sized box didn't need to be opened to know that it was indeed a priceless gift, plus a love confession card.
Another love-struck girl seeking her as a courier, to deliver gifts to various male gods!
As expected.
Lin Yingying caught her breath, urgently said, "Idiot, hurry up and deliver it to Prince Chengyan for me!"
Who?
Helian Chengyan?
Hearing that name, Chi Xingye couldn't help but give Lin Yingying a deeper look.
Admirable courage!
Not afraid to confess to him!
"Idiot, you must, you must deliver it into Prince Chengyan's hands..."
Lin Yingying didn't notice the fleeting horror in Chi Xingye's eyes as she continued to fervently instruct her.
Chi Xingye's mind flashed back to the unpleasant incident with Helian Chengyan two months ago, then quickly suppressed the irritation and anger in her heart, coldly refusing, "The risk factor is too high; I won't take the job."
Putting personal feelings aside.
Allowing her to deliver gifts during Helian Chengyan's visit was simply asking for death!
Even a fool could tell that, with the esteemed Prince of DK on a public itinerary, under intense security, and with a retinue of countless military police, the security measures would be so tight that even a fly getting close to that noble man could be accurately taken out by a sniper lurking in the shadows!
Not to mention someone as vividly alive and with such a broad target area as herself!
She might get turned into a hornet's nest before she even got close, and then it'd be curtains for her!
"10,000."
Lin Yingying raised a finger, setting the price straight away.
"I said I won't take it."
Chi Xingye pocketed the pad, rose neatly, and left her seat.
"100,000!"
"500,000!"
"1,000,000!"
Miss Lin, flush with wealth, kept increasing her offer with each bid.
"I still want to keep my life to live another day!"
Moreover, she wasn't feeling well. A girl's special days weren't suited for dangerous and thrilling tasks. She really cherished herself!
Chi Xingye was about to leave the classroom.
Lin Yingying gritted her teeth, "2 million!!"
Having money is really capricious!
Chi Xingye pondered for a moment.
Such a high errand fee was indeed very attractive.
He stopped in his tracks, turned around, and flashed a standard smile, "Credit card or cash?"
"Credit card!"
Chi Xingye skillfully took out a mini POS machine from his carry-on bag.
Transaction completed.
SH School is a century-old prestigious institution and a noble's school. There are numerous young masters and misses who spend money lavishly.
Students like Chi Xingye, who hustle for money, are a rare species at SH School.
----
The 20-minute inspection was now at its final stop.
The library doors were pushed open.
The royal guards were well-ordered, clearing the way on both sides.
Then, the man in the center took the lead and walked out, exuding a powerful and noble presence.
DK's Ministry of Education and Ministry of Culture chiefs followed respectfully behind him while maintaining a proper distance befitting of monarch and subjects.
Today, Prince Helian Chengyan wore a dark formal suit.
His inherent regal aura made people bow down to him; his nobility was unparalleled. The countless gazes that fell upon him from afar were filled with adoration as well as awe.
And indeed, he had reasons to be admired!
This man possessed DK's most domineering surname, the noblest identity, and bloodline.
Helian: A radiant glory connecting to the heavens.
This surname symbolized the royal family. It was as if it were gilded, dazzlingly brilliant! Most importantly, the Helian Royal Family ruled over the entire DK. Everyone was a subject of the royal house.
"Prince His Highness looks so cool, so handsome, so stylish!"
Around Chi Xingye, an explosion of amazed exclamations burst out!
Cool?
Handsome?
Cold like a block of ice, and a facial paralysis man at that! Oh, and a cold-blooded, detestable man too!
Chi Xingye muttered to himself sarcastically.
"His Highness is already 25 years old, and I heard he's still single! I wonder what our future queen will look like... Do you think we in DK will have a story of the Prince Charming and Cinderella?"
These infatuated girls are just too naïve and ignorant.
Chi Xingye stole a glance at the man in the distance.
His features were sharp and handsome, but his deep eyes conveyed a royal's solitude, power, dominance... and mercilessness.
Tsk, tsk, tsk!
There was none of the Prince Charming traits from fairy tales, he was clearly a terrifying Lord Yama!
Perhaps Chi Xingye's incessant inner criticisms were sensed by someone.
Suddenly, Prince Helian Chengyan stopped in his steps, turned his head, and looked in her direction.
His deep eyes slightly narrowed.
Chi Xingye immediately sensed danger. She instinctively shrank back, trying to make herself less noticeable.
Undoubtedly, he noticed her!
"You fool, what are you dithering for? Hurry up, Prince Chengyan is about to leave!" Lin Yingying pressed her wildly beating heart, urging anxiously.
The look he had just given was piercingly cold.
It sent chills down the spine!
Chi Xingye began to regret being too greedy for money! She was now worried for her life... and wanted to make an escape attempt!
"Chi Xingye, what are you doing? If you don't complete the task, you will owe me 6 million!"
Lin Yingying blocked her way, her voice sharp and piercing.
6 million!
Yes, if the task wasn't completed, Chi Xingye would indeed have to pay three times the penalty! That was the rule she set when she initially accepted the "task"...
Desperate times call for desperate measures.
Chi Xingye got into position to run, and to the guards' surprise, she sprinted a hundred meters right towards Prince Helian Chengyan, who was about to get into a car... Fast, accurate, harsh, she stuffed the gift into his large palm...
As she stylishly finished this series of complex moves, Chi Xingye was clumsily caught by the guards. At the same time, countless dark gun muzzles pointed at her head.
