Becoming The White Lotus Queen Of The Noble Academy Chapter 5
byChapter 5 05
Xia Xing looked at Tan Quelu, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that his idea was correct.
——Why would Tan Quelu even lie to protect him?Why is Tan Quelu so sad because she doesn’t remember him?Why did Tan Quelu look so good in her clothes so early in the morning and still smile at him?
Holding hands, comforting, tenderness.
He has such a pure face, he must be a good boy.A good boy will only behave ambiguously towards the person he likes.
So Tan Quelu must like him.
The system feels that the protagonist’s IQ is drained away like urine.
Tan Quelu didn’t answer him. She lowered her eyes and stared at the notebook on the table. After a few seconds, she said softly: “Why do you think so.”
Neither admit it nor deny it.
Xia Xing was even more certain, and his mood was a little complicated at the moment, mixed with secret joy and regret: “…I am quite keen in this aspect.”
“But Quelu, there is no possibility for you and me. We can only be friends.”
Xia Xing felt that he was being cruel, but he couldn’t give Tan Qielu any hope – it was okay to go back and forth in St. Weston when he was studying, but out of society, their classes would be instantly distanced, and there was no way out of the sky, and the poor were destined to have no future.
Emotions cannot solve the cold reality.
Tan Quelu raised her head and looked at Xia Xing with her beautiful eyes, her voice was still gentle: “Friend?”
“That’s right, friend.” Xia Xing nodded vigorously and promised him: “Best friend. Quelu, no matter what you do in the future, I will protect you.”
The pigeons pooped on the chessboard again.
Tan Quelu blinked and seemed a little touched: “Really? Thank you.”
Xia Xing scratched his head in embarrassment. After washing up, he suddenly took out a set of brand-name clothes from his luggage and handed them to Tan Quelu: “Quielu, you can wear this.”
“We are about the same height, so just treat me as a gift to you. St. Weston students are very good at looking after others, and you will be bullied if you still wear cheap clothes.”
The clothes are brand new, with a logo printed on the tag with bold lines.This is a young and trendy brand, its price is in the affordable luxury category, and it is very popular among middle-class students.
Tan Quelu took it and her eyes fell on Xia Xing’s suitcase – there were actually several sets of high-end luxury clothes and accessories in the suitcase, with obvious logos. Any one piece could cover the living expenses of the special enrollment for several months. They were all brand new and genuine.
The set that Xia Xing gave to Tan Quelu was the cheapest among them.
Tan Quelu looked at him subtly.
The protagonist, who has been sensitive all his life, suddenly acted like a blind man. He quickly closed the suitcase and stood up. He said nonchalantly: “Let’s go? I heard that a big shot is coming to today’s seminar.”
Tan Quelu said nothing, smiled slightly, picked up the handmade umbrella on the table: “Okay, let’s go.”
Even the director of Ou Niao Welfare Home cannot afford to wear those high-end brands.
The money paid for the special enrollment at St. Weston College is deposited in the account, and the students themselves can only get it when they graduate.Apart from basic room and board, where does Xia Xing get the money?
Something is wrong with this protagonist.
…
The seminar is held in the main hall of St Weston’s College.
Eden Group specializes in AI, and the event site is full of technology.From the outside, it is dominated by silvery white and metallic gray tones. The transparent floor-to-ceiling windows show the curvature of the round arched dome. Coupled with the gorgeous and solemn architectural style of St. Weston itself, it has a sense of fantasy where the future and the past are intertwined.
It is said that St. Weston’s on-campus APP [Dome] was developed by the Eden Group, and all high-tech equipment in the school are also funded by Eden. Whether it is yesterday’s AI robot or the swarm mechanical ball, they are all printed with Eden’s silver LOGO.
Eden permeates every aspect of life.
It was just after nine o’clock and the seminar had not yet started.
Tan Quelu thought she could go in and watch the excitement, but as soon as they reached the outside of the venue, two young security guards wearing weapons stepped forward to stop them, and said expressionlessly: “Hello, please show me your invitation letter.”
Tan Quelu: “Sister, we are students of St. Weston, can’t we go in and visit?”
“The specifications of this event are special.” The security guard in question glanced at him and explained in a low voice: “The chief health officer of the Eden Group is coming. Except for guests who have received invitations, the venue is closed.”
Wei Guan’s net worth was astonishing, and St. Weston offered him as a tribute to Lafayette.As a special NPC, Tan Quelu nodded to express his understanding.
Xia Xing was very aggrieved and said angrily: “Don’t you just look down on the special admissions students? We were hired by St. Weston with money. What qualifications do you have to look down on us?”
Tan Quelu doesn’t quite understand why Xia Xing is so flammable.
The security guard obviously didn’t understand either. He told Xia Xing with a cold face not to make unreasonable troubles. However, Xia Xing had a loud voice and was determined to come up with some golden words. He shouted stubbornly: “Thirty years to the east of Hedong, thirty years to the west of Hexi. Don’t bully young people into poverty!”
System: [……]
Damn, that’s so embarrassing.
Some students around him had already noticed this. A group of young masters in rich clothes came over and looked at Xia Xing with disdain. They said in a condescending tone: “Where are the special admissions students making trouble here? I have already told you that by buying these people, St. Weston is devaluing itself.”
Xia Xing turned around stubbornly in an instant, proudly retreated from the rich and young, and argued with them bravely.
Tan Quelu remained silent the whole time, took out another umbrella from her bag, covered her face and walked away calmly.
The system breathed a sigh of relief: [Host, where are you going?】
“An encounter with an NPC.” Tan Quelu flipped through the original book.
The focus of the plot of the novel is tomorrow. The protagonist Shou is maliciously transferred to Class A for bullying by F1. The two start to fight each other back and forth, interspersed with some plots such as some followers who are fascinated by the protagonist Shou’s stubborn vitality and prostrate themselves under his school uniform pants.
There was no drama today. The original book only stated that the seminar was a success. The F3s attended the event in grand attire and were very decent and well-behaved in front of Wei Guan.
Tan Quelu asked the system: [Where is the special NPC now?】
The system said honestly: [The southwest corner of St. Weston.That piece of land is the Wei family circle. The NPC is reading the newspaper and is about to take the car to the school hall.】
Its only function is to sense Wei Guan five minutes after he comes on the field.
Because this is the welfare NPC of this article, if the protagonist’s life is in danger, the host can go to Wei Guan for help.
Tan Quelu thought about it and decided to draw inspiration from the protagonist. He took the time to go outside the Wei family’s manor in the southwest corner and observed the terrain.
Soon, he smoothed his broken hair, stepped forward, and politely said to the security guard: “Hello, I have something to see Mr. Wei Guan.”
The young man has an innocent appearance, his eyes are curved under his black hair, and his mint green short sleeves reveal his porcelain white collarbone. He is standing in the shadows holding an umbrella. He is the kindest and harmless type.
The security guard glanced at him and asked, “What’s the matter?”
Tan Quelu frowned slightly, seeming embarrassed.
At just this moment, a familiar black Cullinan drove out and drove out of the gate at a constant speed.
Tan Quelu was standing in the blind corner outside the gate, just hidden in the shadows. The driver didn’t pay attention, and there was a bang, and he heard an exclamation instantly.
The screeching sound of tires sounded.
Cullinan made an emergency stop. The driver quickly got out of the car and hurried to the front of the car. He saw a tall and thin boy falling to the ground, holding his legs and breathing softly.
He frowned, and the handmade umbrella in his backpack fell all over the floor. His fair palms were scratched by the rough road, and his face was pale with unbearable pain.
The driver was startled and did not dare to help him: “How are you, classmate? Don’t be afraid, I will call the doctor right away.”
The ends of her green eyes were filled with tears of physiological pain, moistening her fine eyelashes, but she still shook her head and said softly: “It’s okay, auntie, I’m just born with low pain tolerance. It’s actually nothing, hiss…”
His face was too pale, but he still insisted that he was fine and refused to let them take responsibility or pay compensation. He would limp away after being helped up.
The driver looked back in embarrassment, and a few seconds later, the rear seat window slowly lowered.
The young man in the car raised his eyes, his handsome eyebrows were calm, and his eyes met the green man on the ground.
The young man wiped the tears from his eyes and sobbed weakly.
First class purity.
Tan Quelu asked softly, tentatively: “Are you Mr. Wei Guan?”
Did not wait for Wei Guan to answer.
He smiled, his lips were bloodless, but he still looked at Wei Guan, his plain white face pure and calm: “I am a special admissions student of Ou Niao Welfare Home. You may not know this welfare home, but I have always known you.”
“Eden Group donates old equipment that has been eliminated every year to various welfare institutions across the country, ranging from kettles and electric blankets to home appliances, furniture, and smart lights. The first English word Ouliao’s children learned was Eden, and the first LOGO they drew was Eden.”
“The dean told us that we should remember this kindness. So I came to St. Weston from Lingqing. I heard that you were holding a seminar today, and I couldn’t help but take the liberty to come to you.”
“Special admissions students are not qualified to enter the hall, but I want to tell you these words.”
“Wei Guan, I want to say thank you on their behalf.”
The words fell.
Silence fell at the door.
The system burst into tears/urinated: [Host, I knew it… I knew I would not be wrong, you are the kind-hearted White Lotus…!】
Tan Quelu turned around and limped away alone.
Click.
The car door opens.
A big hand suddenly grabbed the young man from behind, its knuckles completely encircling Tanquelv’s thin wrist bones, preventing him from leaving.
Tan Quelu took a twitch.
No twitching.
Wei Guan lowered his eyes, his dark pupils reflected the young man’s soft hair, and said calmly: “You are lame on the wrong leg.”
“…”
Tan Quelu reacted quickly, frowning in pain: “Mr. Wei, you pinched me.”
Wei Guan let go of his hand but did not retreat.The security guards and drivers had left at some point, and only Tan Quelu and Wei Guan were left at the door of the hot manor.
The strength of Tanquelu’s touch with porcelain was just right. There were no scratches on her ankles, only some skin on her palms.You can run whenever you want.
He raised his head and looked at Wei Guan with his pure black pupils.At such a close distance, Tan Quelu thought she could smell the scent of fir trees on the other person’s body – isn’t that how bosses are written about in novels?
But Wei Guan smells nothing.
He was wearing a suit and his breath was clean.After looking at Tan Quelu for a few seconds and confirming that he was really fine, he turned around and took some ointment from the car to treat abrasions and handed it over.
“Is this for me…?” Tan Quelu took it, maintained her character, and said carefully: “Thank you, Mr. Wei, you are so kind.”
I immediately called the system in my heart: [Help me check Wei Guan’s character in the original work. He is a bit abnormal. Could it be that he was also penetrated?】
Villains fear power but not virtue.Wei Guan can firmly control a business empire at the age of 27 and let the unruly F3 small group put away its spikes. He will never be so easy to get close to.
Tan Quelu originally planned to leave just to leave an impression on the other party.
The system was startled, and after checking it carefully, it said: [No, host, this world can only accommodate one book-wearer, if there are more, it will explode immediately.】
[And in the original work, although Wei Guan has a very weak and elusive character, he has helped the protagonist suffer a few times.】
Tan Quelu said nothing more.
He put away the ointment, raised his eyes and smiled at Wei Guan, with a gentle voice: “Mr. Wei, I’ll leave first.”
Wei watched him pretend.
The third time they met, he was still sitting in the car and witnessed him sobbing.
It’s just that the first two times I talked about bird green were a bit cruel.
This time, there was no scarlet blood on the boy’s face.
Tell the truth.
Quite pure.
The author has something to say:
President Wei: Tasting green tea elegantly…
