Qing Mian had just finished doing a maths question when her phone rang.
She lifted her head to have a look and realized that it was a message from Li Min.
"What are you doing?"
She thought that this sentence was nonsense.
As a student, what else could she be doing now?
But, she still replied to him nicely.
"Attending classes."
"Then stop chatting, it'll affect your studies."
"Oh," she replied to him and continued to be engrossed in doing her questions.
After finishing two periods, Qing Mian walked toward the classroom, and saw Xue Xi
"Where have you been?", Xue Xi asked.
"Preparing for the maths star"
"Oh, yh"
.......
The Math Star was not an official competition and was held in the neighboring city. Hence, they had to gather in the school on Friday afternoon. The competition would take place on Saturday and they would return on Sunday.
Qin was feeling worried when Qing Mian was leaving home on Friday morning. After checking her luggage several times and making sure that she did not leave anything behind, she walked her daughter out. "Mianmian, are you really alright? Maybe I should accompany you there."
Qing Mian shook her head and replied slowly, "No need."
Qin was still anxious. After all, Qing Mian had never left the orphanage since she was young. She then replied hesitatingly, "I'll give Xue Xi a call and get him to look out for you."
Before she could reject her, Ding Xian said, "Isn't it just a minor exam? Qinqin has participated in numerous exams since she was young and has never been afraid. Some people really know how to assume airs of importance."
Qing Mian could not be bothered with her and left as if she did not hear it. When she got in the car, her phone vibrated. It turned out to be the daily greeting from Li Min.
"Are you at school already?"
"No. We are going for a competition today"
"?"
They talked for a while before Qing Mian hang up.
....
In the afternoon, everyone boarded the bus that the school had prepared. After more than five hours of travel, they found a five-star hotel in the vicinity of the competition venue.
There were ten students from the international school, and six were boys while four were girls. Since the other two girls stayed together, Xue Xi and Qing Mian naturally had to stay together.
"There is no room left", Mr. Ling said
Mr. Ling greeted the teacher-in-charge of the team. "Mr. Song, sorry for the trouble!"
Mr. Song was in his forties and was the leader of Bin City Education Department's math team. He had a beer belly and scanned the students from International High School as he subconsciously commanded, "Mr. Ling, among the students from your school, except for Lu Rui, nobody has ever won a prize. They're not suitable for this route. Aren't you wasting time by being a participant in the competition! Don't get angry at my words, I simply meant well for you."
The corners of Mr. Ling's mouth twitched. Who is he looking down on?
If he were not worried about the two girls, he would never have bowed down to Mr. Song!
He did not reply to him and merely said to Lu Rui, "Lu Rui, sorry to trouble you, can you stay in their room."
Lu Rui shot Qing Mian a glance and replied, "Mhm."
Afterward, they went upstairs and checked into the hotel.
Qing Mian took the room card and arrived in room 690. Just as she was about to enter, Xue Xi rushed in. She occupied the bed near the window and lay on it with her arms and legs stretched out. "How comfortable!"
Qing Mian was a step slower and merely shot her a glance before entering the room. She did not unpack her luggage and merely took out the questions from the backpack and decided to do the questions on the desk.
"A princess indeed", she said.
"Princess my *ss", Xue Xi laughed
Qing Mian silently leaned on the bed and placed a book on her legs for support as she did her questions.
Thirty minutes later, Xue Xi finally took out her Math Olympiad book and started reading.
Ding! At this moment, Qing Mian, who was deeply engrossed in her book, heard her phone ring.
She shot a glance at it and realized it was from Li Min. "Have you arrived?"
Qing Mian wanted to type but she was still writing. She replied with a voice message. "Mhm, I arrived long ago."
After saying this, she had finally gotten the answer and forgot to let go of the voice message button.
Xue Xi threw her book on the desk in annoyance and complained to Qing Mian. "This room is too small. "
"Who said it was comfortable when we came", she muttered
Qing Mian had just finished her question and heard her words. She lifted her finger and the voice message was sent.
Just as she said that, a knocking on the door was heard.
Xue Xi quickly stood up and dashed to the door. There, she saw a customer service officer standing at the entrance. "Are you Ms. Qing Mian? Hello, your presidential suite has been prepared. Do you need us to carry your luggage for you?"
"?"
The room instantly fell silent.
After a while, Xue Xi said. "What?"
Presidential suite?
The kind of things she heard of only in novels? They were going to stay there?
She turned to look at Qing Mian.
Xue Xi gulped, "This....Is this Prince Charming's doing?!"
At this point, the confused Qing Mian frowned.
She had not requested to upgrade to the presidential suite, so what was happening?
Just as she was thinking this, her phone chimed.
"Coincidentally, I have a voucher for the hotel you are staying in, so I gave you an upgrade to the presidential suite!"
So that's what happened.
She was instantly enlightened. Staying anywhere was the same to her, but she would not mind if she could stay in a better environment.
As she thought this, she put down her phone. When she saw Xue Xi's expression, she paused. "Let's pack up."
The latter jumped in joy and quickly packed her almost-untouched luggage, carried her bag, and stood before Qing Mian. "I'm done packing!"
Qing Mian slowly dragged her luggage, and the moment she stepped out, the customer service officer received her luggage. "Ms. Qing, I will help you with your luggage."
Although she had not stayed in such a high-class hotel before, she did not feel out of place in any way. The group walked over to the lobby, and when the exclusive elevator serving the presidential suite levels parted open, Xue Xi excitedly rushed in.
However, right at this moment, a slender and fair-skinned hand grabbed the girl's arm, "Careful princess!."
"..."
"Wait..how much is this suite?", Xue Xi asked
The staff replied, "There are quite a few different types for the presidential suites. Ms. Qing's suite is the finest top-class suite, costing 90,000 yuan per day."
"Wow"
...
The presidential suite was located on the topmost floor of the hotel. It had the nicest view and was very well-lit. The room was 300 square meters huge.
Other than an area to receive guests, there was also a lounge, living room, bedroom, and an exclusive study room. The toiletries for female use were all branded items too, and every aspect was carefully curated.
Qing Mian took a few glances. Uninterested in the rest of the place, she made a beeline for the study room and retrieved her half-completed paper to continue.
The customer service customer politely asked, "Ms. Qing, we can deliver your dinner tonight up to your room. You may also help yourself to the refreshments here as you please. May I ask what time you would like to have your meal?"
"He's that rich?!", Xue Xi asked
"I don't know but he gave me a bank card"
"Wow, so cool!"
