Chapter 192 - 191: Sarcasm Game

"Don't stress it too much, we've studied and now we could only do our best!" Xiao Yun was the only person who looked relaxed out of the four. Giving each other a nod, the teacher came at the same time.

"Everyone please can I have your attention here?" His loud voice brought all heads in the Aula to look at him. 

"The exam would be held in four examination hall, please check your examination number with the paper posted in front of the hall to know which class you would be going." 

When the teacher finished his instructions, all the students began to see their examination number and went into the designed hall including Xiao Yun. She glanced around seeing the table with her number and sat down to wait for the rest of the students to arrive and spotted Zhuang Huan Wu not far from the place. 

Since the school trip, they haven't talked at all and the news of searching for the water bottle Cinderella has also disappeared. She thought that he would bring some danger to her but it seems that it was only her being overly vigilant to her surroundings. 

Zhuang Huan Wu took a seat beside Xiao Yun and greeted him with a smile. "We are in the same hall." 

"It seems so, good luck." Xiao Yun spoke a little when she saw the teacher coming in and the rest of the students also quieted down. 

The paper was passed on to the desks, the questions down to the table. When the clocks tricked down straight to the number of seven he started the exam. "Start!"

Xiao Yun could feel her heart thumped, she flipped the question and the answer paper at once. Clicking her pen, she read the first few questions and replied it in ease when suddenly something caught up to her eyes. 

'I think I've seen these questions before...' She tried to recall when she had seen the question and remembered the pink folder that Wang Li Lei gave. 

Although the questions weren't at all the same, each question posted a little similar topic. No matter how loving Wang Li Lei was to her there was no way that he would help her to do such an underhanded trick, especially in an important exam. 

He was a man who wants Xiao Yun to grow on her own by using her own skills. 

She shook her head, trying not to think much into it so that she could start to answer the questions before she ran out of time. 

The exam had different durations for each subject with Math being the longest with two hours. When the bell rang to mark the end of the exam, Xiao Yun flipped over to close the paper and saw the teachers coming up to take the answer papers. 

Xiao Yun walked out of the examination hall first and waited for the rest of her friends who came back with a nearly blued expression. "Finally we're done with this." Nie An sighed. 

"I'll never want to take those exams again, they're literally killing me," Xue Xiu Yong could only feel relieved that he could answer all the questions without leaving one blank.

Zhi Ling Ling silently agreeing, after the exam that felt like war, she had lost her energy to speak. 

Xiao Yun chuckled and walked away from the spot, "Well with this we're done with school, we could only wait for good news to come." 

Nie An recalled something and snapped her fingers. "Speaking about the end of school, when would the graduation be held?"

"Around next week? Right after we receive the result." Zhi Ling Ling replied and sighed in distress.

"Don't worry about it too much, if we fail we could return back to school again. Don't you agree, Xiao Yun?" Xue Xiu Yong danced his brows playfully.

"I have to go to collages, so I have to turn down your offer here, Mr. Xue." Xiao Yun replied steadfastly and coldly, making Xue Xiu Yong to sulk and pout his cheeks. Seeing how Xue Xiu Yong has gotten far more relaxed with his smile after they caught Ji Gu Na, the two girls laughed at his silly statement and walked out of the house in a merry chatter. 

In the evening when Xiao Yun came back from school she took a rest for the whole day and did nothing other than rolling on her bed. School is done and tomorrow she had a date with Li Lei. There was no gift far more joyful than being able to spend a day with Wang Li Lei to her. 

She stood up from her bed and strolled over to open her closet to choose which clothes she would be wearing for her date. She hummed to a song from the small gap of her lips and found a floral dress with a cut on both shoulders and chose the dress for tomorrow when suddenly her phone vibrated from a new message. 

Xiao Yun picked up and read that the message was from an unknown number.

[Xiao Yun, do you remember me? I'm Lin Chang Lu we met a few days ago. I'm sorry for the sudden message but as Li Lei's friend, I do hope to know you a little better as a friend.]

She narrows her eyes at the chat, 'Lin Chang Lu? What is she thinking of now?' She tapped the screen of her phone and grinned. 'If she's going to start a game today, why not? Let's do it then.'

[Xiao Yun: Of course I do remember you Chang Lu! I'm very happy to hear your message.]

Lin Chang Lu smirked, she expected Xiao Yun to ask how she could get her phone number but as expected from a naive spoiled girl, she didn't ask anything of it. 

[Lin Chang Lu: I really hope I could be your friend, let's get to know each other better from now on.]

[Xiao Yun: It's a pleasure! I've never had a friend from outside my school, to hear that from you, I'm very delighted.]

[Lin Chang Lu: No, it should be me who is very delighted now. I don't have many friends as I'm always caught up with my busy schedule, having one who's younger than me is a first time.] 

Xiao Yun could feel Lin Chang Lu subtly pointing out her young age from each of her words. In another's view, her chat sounded gently like an older sister but in reality, it was much more of a sarcasm game. 

[Xiao Yun: I'm happy to hear that.]

[Lin Chang Lu: Next Sunday, my friends and Li Lei's friend will be holding a meet up, unfortunately, we couldn't get into touch with him because he's busy. Can I bother you to invite Li Lei and would come with us too?] 

Xiao Yun stared at the screen for a long minute. 'Is Lin Chang Lu planning to embarrass me again?'

The friends that she mentioned must be the children of the socialites. If a normal girl like her came, there would be plenty of opportunities for Lin Chang Lu to show her that she's unsuitable for Wang Li Lei. 

[Xiao Yun: That sounds fun! I'll definitely come and with him, thank you very much for your invitation, Chang Lu.]

[Lin Chang Lu: No problem.]

A vile grin pulled the lip across Lin Chang Lu's face. As she had guessed Xiao Yun was quick to bite into her invitation without doubting anything. When Xiao Yun came, she would show her who is fit to become Li Lei's fiancée! 

The next evening, Xiao Yun went by her car first to the Mu Lan Music Hall with an excited look. From time to time, she pulled her mirror to see whether her hair that she styled in a light curl stayed in the place until she arrived at the Music Hall. 

The Music Hall was as extravagant as the gossips said. From the wide entrance, Xiao Yun could spot actresses and famous people from the entertainment industry. She walked inside looking around to see whether Wang Li Lei arrive to hear a voice from behind.

"Miss Yu?" 

Xiao Yun turned her face and saw Liu Yan Hui smiling sweetly and could hear the squealing from the women behind her. "CEO Liu, good evening."

"Good evening to you too. Are you searching for little Lei?" with Liu Yan Hui's presence, Xiao Yun could feel the eyes of the ladies staring on his handsome face. 

"Yes, have you seen him, CEO Liu?" 

"No, I don't think he arrived yet. It's rare for him to be late though, I should have taught him not to make a woman to wait." 

"Ah, that's not it. I came too early on purpose." Xiao Yun was too excited to meet him after the long week and came for half an hour earlier than the promised time.

Liu Yan Hui gave a long hum in response and spoke, " I didn't get to thank you for your help last time, thank you very much."
