7 I'sm sorry

"Did you just... slapped me?"

The air in the room became cold as Li Bingbing stood up from her seat while glaring at Xia Meilin.

"Are you blind or dense? I just did, so what?" Xia Meilin stood up as well and came into face to face with Li Bingbing.

Gu Jichen was so nervous when he saw them glaring at each other. They looked like they were going to tear each other to pieces! What should he do? Shall he call for the teacher? But what if they started fighting while he was gone?

Aren't they best friends? Why are they fighting? Why did Xia Meilin slap her? She should know better not to mess with Li Bingbing!

"You bitch... are you trying to pick up a fight with me?" Li Bingbing asked with a deadly tone in her voice.

But this didn't make Xia Meilin turn away in fear, in fact, she was standing bravely in front of her. "Who's fault was it? You're the one who annoyed me first!"

"That doesn't mean that you have to slap me!" Li Bingbing growled. "Apologize to me!"

"Apologize? Why would I? I did nothing wrong." She scoffed as she crossed her arms.

"That's it!"

When Gu Jichen saw that Li Bingbing was about to take the first move, he decided to sacrifice himself.

"Do-Don't hurt each other, we can talk this out!"

"Let's have a 1v1 battle!"

Li Bingbing and Gu Jichen said these words at the same time.

Huh? Did he just hear it right?

"Sure! I accept your challenge! If I won, you have to give me the Eternal Blood Sword to me!" Xia Meilin said as she ignored Gu Jichen.

"Tch, as if I'll lose to you but play, this game is on! If I win, you have to apologize and treat me for a month."

Xia Meilin furrowed her brows, "I'm fine with the apologizing thing but to treat you for a month, that's not fair."

"Not fair? I've spent countless sleepless nights just to attain the Eternal Blood Sword!"

As Gu Jichen watched the two girls bicker at each other, he was left speechless. He never expected them to fight this way...

"Aren't you two going to kill each other right now?"

Li Bingbing and Xia Meilin turned their heads to Gu Jichen.

When Gu Jichen realized that he said his thoughts out loud, he gulped nervously.

Xia Meilin raised her brow. What was this guy saying? "Are you an idiot? That's a big sin against the law, why would we do that?"

"Don't take it seriously, Meimei, who in their right minds will do that?" Li Bingbing hanged her arm on Xia Meilin's shoulders.

Gu Jichen sighed, "I'm not saying that in a literal way. Anyway, I should get going." He didn't want to stay with them any longer in fear that their craziness would affect him. How did these two girls turn to be the top students of their year again?

"Xiao Mei, Bingbing."

The girls turned their heads towards the entrance of the room and saw Xia Sinian standing there.

"Let's go."

As they head out of the school, Xia Sinian noticed the redness on Li Bingbing's left cheek which made him looked worried at her, "What happened to your cheek?"

"Meimei slapped me."

"..." He turned to his sister but his sister didn't say a word, she was busy looking at the updates on her phone.

"It really hurts you know. Meimei is such a bad friend." Li Bingbing wiped a fake tear off from the side of her eyes as she started acting like she has been wronged by his sister.

Xia Meilin's brow twitched with the words that came out of Li Bingbing lips. She turned to her with an eyebrow raised, "Whose fault do you think it was?"

"Not mine, I was just trying to be a good friend and wake you up!"

"You were trying to annoy me!"

Xia Sinian couldn't help but heave out a heavy sigh as they started to argue with each other.

"There's a newly opened pastry shop nearby, do you want to pass by there?" Xia Sinian asked as he tried to distract them with another topic instead.

Xia Meilin turned to her brother and tilted her head to the side. "Brother, I thought you were planning to start on dieting?"

Li Bingbing frowned when she heard the word 'diet'. "Diet? Why would Sisi go for a diet? He is already in a perfect shape! He doesn't need to go for a diet!"

Does Li Bingbing have defected eyes? Something is definitely wrong with her eyes! Xia Sinian couldn't help but let out another sigh... how did he end up falling for her again?

...

Upon arriving at the pastry shop, after they ordered, Xia Meilin and Li Bingbing started playing for the bet they made earlier.

At the end of it, Li Bingbing won against Xia Meilin. "You better ready your wallet, sissy, I'm going to empty it in a month!"

Money wasn't a problem for Xia Meilin but she was still sulking since she wasn't able to get the rare item that Li Bingbing had in the game.

As Xia Meilin continued on sulking on the end of their seat, Li Bingbing patted her shoulder. "Don't forget to apologize to me, bitch."

Xia Meilin turned and pursed her lips. She didn't want to apologize since it wasn't her fault but a bet is a bet and she lost. "I'm sorry..." said Xia Meilin through gritted teeth.

Li Bingbing snickered at her, "What was that? I can't hear you, were you saying something?"

Xia Meilin's hand was itching to wipe that smug look on Li Bingbing face.

She took a deep breath to suppress her raging temper. "I'm sorry for slapping you, Ms. Li."
