Chapter 386 Just Mei
"Ding dong——"
As the bell rang for the fourth period in the morning, the atmosphere in the entire school completely relaxed at this moment. Everyone took out the lunch boxes prepared early in the morning from their schoolbags, and a group of girls gathered after class. Arriving at Meiyi’s side.
Mei opened a huge lunch box, which was full of food. It was obviously not just for her. This was also her habit. She always asked the chef at home to make lunch for several people, so that it could be divided easily. There are some classmates around.
Her classmates were obviously not polite, some even brought only a few vegetables and rice and relied on Mei for the rest, but she didn't resent it either.
As a result, everyone gradually got used to this pattern, and a group of girls gathered around Mei Yi carrying lunch boxes and chattering as soon as noon came. On the contrary, as the protagonist, Mei herself does not like to talk while eating. She mostly just listens silently.
But today, someone brought the topic to her:
"Hey! Mei, do you know the transfer student in the next class?"
"Huh?"
Mei Yi was biting a piece of croquette and shook her head when she heard this.
"I don't know."
"Oh, I see you are so good to her, I thought you two knew each other! Sure enough, it's just that our Miss Mei is kind-hearted and willing to help others."
Mei's brows furrowed. She didn't know if it was an illusion. She always felt that these girls were slightly hostile to the girl named Kiana.
"What's wrong with her?"
"There are too many problems, okay!"
The girl next to him yelled exaggeratedly, and then explained:
"That guy is a well-known problem student in the whole school. Skipping classes to dig out bird's nests and pranking teachers are all basic operations. He even failed to pass any of the exams. Alas... Teacher Kuzumu is really unlucky. Since this student came, my average score has dropped by several points!”
"That's right, and, I heard...I heard! I heard that she has no parents! Last time, Mr. Kuzumu wanted to talk to her parents, but...ahem! I heard that this girl rented a ten-square-meter apartment by herself outside the school. At least his parents are not around. How on earth did such a person get into Qianyu Academy?"
"Besides, Mei, don't look at how pitiful she is with her sprained foot. That girl is very cunning and will do anything to skip class. Maybe she did it on purpose!"
Mei's brows were furrowed until they almost joined together, until she heard the last sentence, she shook her head and laughed again - ridiculous, the logic of this group of people is too ridiculous, if the girl named Kiana really did it deliberately to skip class Wei Jiao, then why do you come to school? Wouldn't it be enough to just call the teacher at home and ask for leave? Not to mention that fool's stubborn behavior that he didn't even want to lower his face and explain when he was asked to stand for punishment.
Mei Yi sighed silently and shook her head again. At this time, she deeply realizes that most of the people around her are stupid, but the most ridiculous thing is that they don't know it.
In contrast, although the white-haired girl is naive and stupid, she is quite straightforward.
Fortunately, as the eldest lady of ME Club and the well-known Thunder Queen, she never needs to coddle others. She suddenly covered her lunch box and walked out of the classroom without saying a word under the astonished gazes of all her classmates - the words of the group just now were so disgusting that she had to move to another place, otherwise she would lose her appetite for lunch.
As luck would have it, as soon as she walked out of the back door of the classroom, she bumped into the girl named Kiana in the corridor.
"Hi! Mei...Miss!"
The other party greeted him carelessly, not knowing at all that he was being said bad things behind his back.
"What are you doing?"
"Ah...hahaha..."
Kiana scratched her head, laughed twice, and said sheepishly:
"I got up late this morning and forgot to prepare a lunch box, so I had to go to the cafeteria to buy something to eat."
Mei Yi looked at her ankle and asked calmly:
"Can your feet hold up?"
"Of course! It's not too far from here to the cafeteria. It's not like I haven't suffered more serious injuries... uh..."
"Okay, you're lucky to have met me. I have plenty of lunch boxes here, let's eat together."
Not allowing Kiana to refuse, Mei suddenly held her hand and pulled her into an empty mobile classroom.
"Um...wow! Is this the bento of the eldest lady of ME Club? Croquettes, fried chicken wings, creamy mashed potatoes, grilled chicken legs, barbecued pork... are all my favorites!"
"If you like to eat, eat more."
Mei pushed the lunch box towards Kiana and handed her the chopsticks.
"Huh? Don't you need to leave some for you?"
"Need not."
Meiyi said politely, but what she was thinking in her heart was: Can she still eat the lunch that is almost for three people?
…………
Five minutes later, Kiana slumped timidly on the seat, rubbing her bulging belly, while Mei looked at the lunch box with not a grain of rice or a drop of sauce left, and fell into deep thought.
"Um...Kiana, have you always been so good at eating?"
"Ah...ah hahaha, I'm sorry, Mei, it's true, I haven't eaten something so delicious in a long time, so I couldn't help but eat a little more."
Mei held her head up and stared at Kiana silently. She really wanted to ask her how she managed to not gain weight even though she was so edible.
"Oh, that's right! Mei, I see there are many clubs in Qianyu Academy that have morning exercises. Mei Yi, don't you join the club?"
"No."
Mei shook her head readily, but before Kiana could ask, she proudly explained:
"Of those clubs, the only one I find interesting is the Kendo Club. But unfortunately, I'm already a member of the Hokushin Ittoryu Menkyo Kaiden, and I don't have the energy to play house with my kids. I might as well stay at home and sleep for half an hour longer."
"Hehe! Mei and I think the same on this point... Uh, so what does Menkyo Kaiden mean?"
Mei raised her eyebrows, and while packing her lunch box, she asked casually:
"How long have you been in Far East? Generally speaking, as long as you have some understanding of Far East culture, you should You don't know the importance of Menkyo Kaiden."
"Ahahaha... I haven't been in Far East for a long time!"
"Where is your hometown? I see you look like a European?"
"I don't know..."
Kiana seemed to be playing with her pigtails carelessly, and said softly:
"Since I can remember, I have lived with my stinky dad in a place where it snows for more than half of the year. Three years ago, my stinky dad suddenly left me and I wandered to Far East alone."
"Pada!"
The chopsticks fell to the ground, but Mei picked them up as if nothing had happened and put them back in the storage box.
But she couldn't help asking:
"Did your father... abandon you?"
"Ah? That's not the case. My stinky dad... must have more important things to do. Besides, he gives me living expenses every month. How can this be considered abandonment?"
"You..."
Mei covered her head, not knowing what to say.
"Oh, yes, yes! Mei, did your class have history class this morning?"
"Yes, what happened?"
"Well... I left in a hurry this morning, and I didn't check what books I brought in my schoolbag... As a result, I left the history textbook I was going to use this afternoon at home... So..."
Kiana was a little embarrassed, and she didn't finish her words, just staring at Mei.
Who knew that the latter laughed out loud:
"You are not particularly stubborn! Let's go, go back to the classroom with me to get the books."
The two walked in the corridor of the teaching building. Kiana walked slowly with a cane, so Mei also slowed down her pace, and the two walked side by side.
The students and teachers coming and going were all surprised to see this scene, and many of them stopped for this.
After all, one of these two people is the Thunder Queen with excellent grades and aloof personality. As for the other one, it is actually because Meiyi doesn't pay attention to gossip. If she is bored and asks more about school things, she should understand that this girl named Kiana is not an unknown person - of course, as the group of girls said before, it is not a good name.
It is hard not to be surprised when two people with such extreme contrast walk side by side?
As for the two parties, as the eldest daughter of ME Club, Meiyi has long been accustomed to such gazes and can completely ignore them selectively. Kiana is much more naughty. She turned her head all the way and made faces at the students who stopped and looked at them. She seems to be particularly talented in this aspect, and her faces are never repeated.
When she came to the door of Meiyi's classroom, she raised her hand to signal Kiana to wait outside, walked into the classroom, and found the history textbook in the drawer.
"Take it, and remember to return it to me before school is over!"
Kiana took the textbook with a smile, and with her left foot as a fulcrum and the crutches as a boost, she tried to turn around and walk directly into her classroom.
"Bang--"
"Ouch!"
Mei held her forehead helplessly.
…………
The teacher's voice went in her left ear and out of her right ear, which was already a basic operation for Kiana.
However, in the past classes, as long as she didn't sleep, she would give the teacher a lot of face, but this time, since she had asked Mei to borrow the textbook, it would be a bit unreasonable to sleep again.
But why did she have to borrow the textbook? It's not that there are no other ways. She could just spread out other textbooks to fool around, or go home and get it during lunch break.
Of course, it doesn't matter even if she is just blatantly playing badly! At worst, she will be punished by standing in the corridor again...
But now it doesn't make sense to think about why she asked the eldest lady of ME Club to borrow a book.
She slowly opened the textbook and followed the teacher's blackboard to find the corresponding chapter - the current political landscape of the Far East.
Seeing this title, Kiana instantly became energetic. It's not that she doesn't like to study at all. If the knowledge taught happens to be what she is interested in, she can listen carefully.
Of course, she doesn't care about the Far East. What she really cares about is "Destiny".
There is no need for the stinky dad to say more. Even if you search for a random search engine, you can see that Kaslana is one of the three major families of Destiny. Since it is related to Kaslana, how can the girl not be interested in Destiny?
"Huh? Mei also took notes... No, this is not a note, it's her own feelings?"
Kiana pointed at the handwritten words in the blank space of the page with her finger and muttered silently:
“The current political structure of Far East is determined by geographical and historical conditions. For Shenzhou, Far East is undoubtedly a part of Shenzhou’s cultural circle, but because of the ocean between the two sides, Shenzhou has been unable to project its powerful land power to Far East. The smaller military pressure has caused Far East to go back and forth on the issue of tribute to Shenzhou, so when Shenzhou and Tianming signed a boundary demarcation agreement, Far East was not divided into Shenzhou’s jurisdiction.
“For Tianming, although Siberia is nominally a buffer zone between it and Shenzhou, with Tianming’s continued eastward expansion for 500 years, Siberia can be regarded as half of Tianming’s sphere of influence. Not to mention, Tianming has also jointly developed Southeast Asia with Shenzhou and controls Australia.
"As for the Anti-Entropy, which developed from the American branch of the Mandate of Heaven, although it is a new organization with only a few decades of history, after gaining a foothold in America, it has never given up on infiltrating other parts of the world. This has formed a very wonderful geographical pattern - the only common intersection of the three major organizations of the Mandate of Heaven, Shenzhou, and Anti-Entropy in the world is the North Pacific, and the four islands of the Far East are the largest land in the North Pacific.
"Therefore, the Far East has also become the last buffer zone and has become an existence that none of the three major organizations can fully control. The Far East has been influenced by the culture of Shenzhou for a long time, and has never been immigrated or colonized by the Mandate of Heaven. It is impossible to completely turn to the Mandate of Heaven, which is also unacceptable to Shenzhou. Among the three major organizations, the Mandate of Heaven and the Anti-Entropy have established branches in the Far East. Although Shenzhou has not established a branch, its homeland is very close to the Far East.
"Under such circumstances, the three forces can actually achieve a delicate balance in the Far East... or peace. I think there is also a reason why the Far East branch of the Mandate of Heaven, the Far East branch of the Anti-Entropy and the Taixu Sect of Shenzhou restrain each other."
Kiana rubbed her chin with her thumb, nodding as she read.
She actually couldn't understand a lot of the content, but that didn't stop her from thinking "Mei is really amazing". And...
"If that's the case, didn't I stumble into a good place by accident? Since I can contact Tianming, Ni... uh, how do you pronounce the word Ni? And the power of Shenzhou at the same time in the Far East, wouldn't it be easier to find out the whereabouts of my stinky dad?"
She rubbed the beard on her chin that didn't exist and couldn't exist like a detective, and felt that her luck was really good.
But... how can I contact these forces? It's impossible to just run and shout "My name is Kiana Kaslana", right?
"Besides, it's still unclear what the three major organizations' attitudes are towards the Kaslana family..."
Kiana is often just too lazy to think, but that doesn't mean she's really stupid. She began to flip through the textbook, trying to find the part related to the Kaslana family, but this is a general education textbook after all, and the information she gets from it won't be much more than a search engine.
After searching hard for about ten minutes, Kiana finally chose to give up.
About thirty seconds later, the bell for the last class of the day rang. After the history teacher slowly packed up the lesson plan and left, Kiana was the first to jump from her seat to the table, raised her hands and shouted:
"Great! School is over!"
But then her right ankle, which had not yet healed, felt a sharp pain. She lost her balance and fell off the desk to the ground.
"Is this a fool?"
"What do you mean by "Isn't she famous for being a fool?"
The classmates next to her whispered.
And Mei, who was standing at the door of the classroom and was about to come in, slowly covered her face with both hands. She wanted to prove to the world that she didn't know this girl, but there was no way, her textbook was still in her hand.
"Your foot was almost healed, but you sprained it again just now. Alas... I don't know whether to say you are stupid or just unlucky."
When Mei helped Kiana with her ankle injury again and helped her out of the teaching building, the whole college was shrouded in a bloody dusk.
Flocks of birds flew noisily across the gaps between the teaching buildings, and many students stayed behind to participate in club activities. The campus was by no means silent, but for some reason it made people feel a little desolate.
Yes, they had missed the end of school time, and they were the only two pedestrians on the road leading to the school gate.
Kiana just smiled indifferently at Mei's complaints:
"What's the big deal! This kind of injury is nothing to me! It will be fine after one night!"
"You..."
Mei turned her head and looked at the corners of the girl's mouth, and the words she wanted to say disappeared without a trace.
"By the way, Mei, this crutch..."
"Just return it to the infirmary when you are better."
"Oh."
The classroom was only a few steps away from the school gate. From a distance, Kiana saw the black car that sent Mei in the morning arrogantly blocking the school gate.
"Then... Mei, goodbye, thank you for taking care of me today!"
In order to avoid embarrassment, Kiana waved goodbye before she even stepped out of the school gate.
Mei looked at her back as she left on one foot while screaming in pain, and a smile spread across her face - "She called me Mei... just Mei..."
But when she turned her eyes back to her car, she frowned slightly again.
