"Woah, Zi Hua JieJie you were so cool when you delivered that kick!" Anqi Feng exclaimed with shining eyes."Thanks, just call me Zi Hua no need for the honorific" Zi Hua gave a smile, which enthralled Anqi Feng.
"Okay then, if you say so" Anqi Feng obediently agreed.
(A/N: Qing Shan, your sis is bout to be stolen!)
Unfortunately, not everyone had the same thoughts as Anqi Feng, being from influential clans made all those aristocrats think that they were superior than commoners but that way of thinking was being challenged today, which raised jealousy and discontent among Zi Hua"s new cla.s.smates.
Anqi Qing Shan, who was with the other aristocrats, had also been watching, the battle had made her reevaluate Zi Hua.
Zi Hua wasn"t as simple as she seemed, though she wasn"t the only one who thought so, not every aristocrat was stupid and conceited, but since she and her sister had already befriended Zi Hua she could only observe what happens next, there"s no use crying over spilled milk after all.
If she was alone she would"ve most likely slowly distanced herself from Zi Hua since she didn"t want to be caught up in strife and was a rather calculating and cunning woman, someone like her wouldn"t sacrifice herself for a mere stranger, if she was such a selfless person, she wouldn"t have survived till now, however her sister seemed to be quite fond of Zi Hua so being the doting sis-con she is, she can only go on with her sister"s wishes.
Most others that are like Anqi Feng would"ve perished however, Anqi Feng has her sister watching over her and cleaning up her mess due to her indulgence.
The two sisters have always relied on each other for survival in this cruel and selfish society.
Zi Hua watched the spars and observed everyone one of her new cla.s.smates.
She hadn"t been fully willing to join a school again due to her not so pleasant past experiences but she had concluded that it was something that she must overcome.
"That"s it for today, please make sure to arrive in cla.s.s on time again tomorrow" After they were dismissed, Zi Hua went back to the dorms.
The students here were all in their youth so obviously, to prevent any "accidents" males and females stayed in separate dorms and were strictly forbidden to go to the other gender"s dorm, "accidents" could get very complicated when it involves the clansmen of influential families.
There was a bath in each room and there was a menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner, it was a top academy where aristocrats study at after all, it had to have luxury service for its students.
The prices for all of these were included in the entrance fee which made the staggering fees less unreasonable.
Schedules are different everyday so sometimes students wouldn"t eat lunch and eat dinner when they went back like today however most of the time there would be a break between lessons to eat lunch.
When Zi Hua got back, she first had a refreshing shower then donned in a loose robe that would be more comfortable for sleeping and had them bring in the food, she wanted to try the luxury food here.
And it didn"t fail her expectations, the Char Siu was perfectly seasoned and had a nice red glow to them and the sweet and sour ribs gave a nice aftertaste, when eaten with rice the aromas mixed nicely together, of course to have a balanced diet you can"t miss out vegetables, so she ordered a plate of steamed bok choy which fitted together pleasantly with the heavy flavors. (A/N: Are you drooling? If not, feel free to google the foods :) ^-^)
After eating, Zi Hua lay on her bed, staring at the ceiling.
Reality was finally sinking in, she was in the prison called school yet again, images of the past flashed through her mind, making her get shivers down her spine.
She shut her eyes to calm herself and when she opened them again, a resolute gaze replaced the fear, she was no longer the her from the past, she should not get caught up in the past and move on to the future, the brilliant future that was awaiting her.
Although she does not dare get her hopes up, she was planning on going to the Tian Family and check if she really had some relation to them: maybe her family was in this world too.
But that would be after she gets the flame fragments, she needs to finish the matters at hand first, plus, if she goes and her speculations are wrong she wouldn"t be able to endure the disappointment, it"s better to leave herself some time to dull down the excitement and mentally prepare herself first.
