Volume 3 + Chapter 93: Came Knocking
When Yue Liu saw Xia Yi react so strongly, she was quite confused, with a dumpling in her mouth.
“What’s wrong with you, my sworn enemy?”
“Mm…”
Xia Yi had originally thought, since she didn’t have anything else to do, she might as well go have some fun at the freshman mixer.
But when she saw the location of the freshman mixer, she completely broke down.
It turned out to be—
The Schubert family’s estate in Laurel Tree City!
Seeing the Schubert family, Xia Yi immediately abandoned the idea of going.
She was already trying to avoid her younger sister, and now she’d be going to her house?
Lia had been acting really strange lately. Going to her house now would be like a sheep entering a tiger’s den.
“Why is the freshman mixer being held at Lia’s house?” Xia Yi was very confused.
“I heard it was Student Council member Lia herself who suggested it. This time’s freshman mixer could be held at her home,” Yue Liu explained. “After all, the freshman mixer isn’t an official Laurel Tree Academy event. Laurel Tree Academy doesn’t provide venues for it either, and there’s no place more suitable for throwing a party than Lia’s estate.”
“Carrot Fox, how do you know so much?”
“…Come on, everyone knows this,” Yue Liu sighed. “My sworn enemy, do you not care about anything that goes on at Laurel Tree Academy?”
She really didn’t.
Xia Yi thought about it—she had hardly paid attention to anything happening at Laurel Tree Academy. She’d only recently found out her own sister was a Student Council member.
Lately, apart from necessary class time, she’d just been staying in the dorm, slacking off…
But hey, it wasn’t pure slacking!
She was just killing time, after all. She needed to stay in Laurel Tree Academy for quite a while and couldn’t really do much else.
Before long, Laurel Tree Academy would be holding the monthly exams.
For students who perform exceptionally well in the monthly exams, Laurel Tree Academy offers rewards—even granting special requests from students.
If Xia Yi wanted to obtain the gift left to her by Xia Lulu, she had to score well in the monthly exams, earn a reward, and submit a request—to enter a restricted area of Laurel Tree Academy normally off-limits to students.
The gift Xia Lulu left her was there.
Therefore, her main task now was to wait for the monthly exams.
So during this time, slacking a little didn’t really count as slacking!
“By the way, why are you still so interested in the freshman mixer?” Xia Yi asked curiously. “Could it be… someone invited you as a dance partner?”
“Mm, yeah, quite a few people actually,” Yue Liu replied.
“…”
Xia Yi went silent.
Damn it, she shouldn’t have asked—wasn’t this just asking to be humiliated?
To think she lost to the Carrot Fox in this kind of setting.
“But I rejected them all.”
“Huh? Why did you reject them all?”
Xia Yi was a little surprised.
Her own sister had rejected other people’s invitations, and now Yue Liu too?
“Isn’t it obvious? My dance partner must be someone whose status and standing match mine. Otherwise, how could I possibly be someone else’s dance partner?” the little fox declared.
Xia Yi gave it some thought.
Yue Liu was a princess of the Nine-Tailed Fox clan. To match her status, the person would not only have to be a high-ranking being, but also someone extremely noble even among the high-ranking races.
Laurel Tree Academy was full of humans. While there were a few non-humans, compared to Yue Liu, a high-ranking fox princess, the gap was far too great.
No wonder. Of course she wouldn’t accept those invitations.
In fact, at Laurel Tree Academy, based on Yue Liu’s criteria, there probably wasn’t a single suitable person.
“But still, I’m going to go, because there’s free food at the freshman mixer!” Yue Liu’s statement sounded a bit guilty. “Anyway, I’m definitely going! Sworn enemy, I’m not looking forward to getting invited to dance, much less hoping to dance with someone! It’s just because I want to eat for free—absolutely no other reason!”
Xia Yi honestly couldn’t figure out what Yue Liu was trying to explain with all that.
Forget it.
Carrot Fox’s way of thinking had never been very comprehensible.
Ever since they met, this pink-haired fox had done all kinds of strange things. Who could understand her?
Knock knock knock.
At that moment, a knock came at the door.
Yue Liu and Xia Yi were both a bit surprised. At this hour, no one usually came to see the two of them.
“Could it be the dorm manager?” Xia Yi frowned.
“No way, we haven’t done anything lately!” Yue Liu denied it.
“Carrot Fox, could it be you’ve been secretly training at night and disturbing others? So someone complained, and now the dorm manager’s come knocking to give you trouble.”
“No no no, how could that be! I’ve been super careful—you didn’t even notice, how could it bother the students next door? It must be someone else!”
“If that’s the case, then it’s probably not the dorm manager. She would’ve opened the door herself or started shouting… Forget it, I’ll go check.”
Xia Yi walked over and opened the door—only to see someone quite unexpected.
“Teacher Hill…?”
Xia Yi looked at Hill, standing at the doorway.
Besides Hill, there were also some other students gathered outside.
Those students were keeping some distance from Hill, clearly just here to watch the show.
After all, Hill was pretty popular at Laurel Tree Academy. Her appearance in the student dorms must have caused quite a stir, attracting many onlookers.
A teacher personally coming to the dorms—that was a rare sight.
“Teacher Hill must be here to see Xia Yi, right?”
“Could it be… what those gossip magazines say is true…?!”
“I’ve never seen Teacher Hill treat anyone like this!”
The students were already buzzing with excitement.
Hill, however, didn’t pay them much mind. Ignoring the stares, she looked at Xia Yi—and on her usually expressionless face, a faint smile appeared.
To others, that subtle change of expression had a devastating charm.
“Xia Yi, good afternoon. I came to see you,” Hill got straight to the point and told her the reason she was here.
“Teacher Hill, is there something you need from me?” Xia Yi asked.
“Yes.” Hill nodded.
“Do you have class coming up?”
“No, I’m free.”
Xia Yi didn’t even think before answering.
If it were any other teacher asking, it probably meant she’d gotten into trouble and they were here to scold her—she’d be worried.
But if it was Hill, definitely not!
“Teacher Hill, is it here, or should we go somewhere else…?” Xia Yi asked.
What came next was a statement from Hill that instantly blew up the atmosphere around them.
“Xia Yi, come to my office. I need to speak with you privately.”
