Thank you but I’m straight.” Wu Xiuxin replied. “Miss Wu, do you uhm…” “What?” “D—Do you like girls?” “It’s up to you to think.” "Miss Wu, you can have friends from the other class, but why do you want to be part of a group of boys?" “Because it’s more fun together with boys.” "Miss Wu, I don't think we need to include you in the boys' group. Before you can be part of us, you still have to pass our initiation." “Really, what is it and when?” "We torture people, and only those who survive our bloody initiation will pass." "Sounds great," she replied, her face showing no expression at all. They all looked at each other, dumbfounded by her response. Wu Xiuxin had simply agreed, knowing it was all part of her plan.
