143 Dazzling Beauty!
The trip to the United States was smooth with Rong Yue and Qin Yichen sleeping all through it. With the capital being Qin Yichen’s turf, he was able to change the flight arrangements for Wu Hao and Rong Yue.
It lasted a total of fourteen hours but with the arrangements Qin Yichen had made, neither of them felt tired or restless.
When the plane landed, Rong Yue and Qin Yichen got down and entered the same car, leaving the airport almost immediately.
On the other hand, teacher Lu with Wu Hao waited for the other representatives from China.
For the top five, three boys and two girls had won the position and so with the two government representatives, five people alighted from the flight.
“Where are the others,” a girl among them asked as she looked around.
Among the three students, she was the most curious to see the girl that had won first place. After all, for the past years, in her generation, there had not been one girl that could beat her academically.
Also, to catch up to some certain goals, she had worked extra harder beyond her original capabilities to be able to qualify. Yet, some girl had beat her to it. Even worse, she came in fourth, a distance she felt was too bad besides another girl coming first.
Teacher Lu and Wu Hao walked up to them as soon as they noticed them coming out of the luggage clearing section.
.....
“Master Lu,” the government greeted respectfully, on a normal day, a mere teacher from somewhere like city A was nothing impressive and they wouldn’t even pretend to be respectful.
But the case was different when the man was accompanying their country’s biggest hope and also another genius right behind.
All their pride was tucked away and they looked around him curiously.
“We heard that you were in the executive section a little late and couldn’t come to say hello. Hope the flight was not too difficult for you?” The other one asked kindly.
“Ahh! Don’t mention, the arrangements were only changed last minute by my students, otherwise, I would have refused it so the students could revise together.”
Seeing that Teacher Lu was even discreet enough to put the matter in such a way, the two representatives had their impression of him changing for the better.
“Master Lu, where’s Miss Rong?” One of them finally asked, his eyes looking around curiously. They had seen Wu Hao previously while they were about to board the flight. But for the main highlight of the day, none of them had yet to see her.
The other three students too nodded, sharing the same curiosity.
“Ahem! On that, my other student’s family has already gone ahead. Her health is a little frail and after that fourteen hours, she needed to be taken for a checkup to make sure that nothing affects the exam,” teacher Lu explained hurriedly.
Wu Hao looked at him from his side eyes, his impression of his teacher changing one more time.
To lie this fluidly without flinching! Teacher Lu really deserved an award, after all, both of them had been with Rong Yue and they knew very well that she was in very perfect health condition.
If one had to say it plainly, she was even in a condition that was way better than that of the other people in front of them.
However, since the other ones weren’t there, they believed very quickly, after all, if she didn’t have a sickly disposition, then there was no need to have a family member follow her around.
More importantly, her health would also affect their country’s ranking and they wanted her to be fine, so none of them argued and even sent well wishes to Rong Yue.
“Since that’s the case, the five of us can go ahead together, tomorrow, the students can all meet for the final revision,” representative Zhen said, he also stretched his hands out at the same time to stop a cab.
On the other side,
Qin Yichen who had gotten his branch president for their United States branch to pick them up was currently massaging Rong Yue’s hands and wrist while they were in the car.
James who had met Qin Yichen on more than one occasion felt like his view of the world was changing the more he saw.
Surely, siblings shouldn’t treat themselves this well right? Also, there had never been any news of the Qin family having a daughter.
But to him, the possibility of them hiding their secret daughter was of a higher chance than Qin Yichen treating an outsider this good. Moreover, this girl looked so young!
As they neared the hotel, he looked through the rearview mirror, his eyes meeting with that of Qin Yichen, “President, the four towers hotel is right ahead, would you be needing anything before we go?”
“Go straight to the hotel,” Qin Yichen commanded. At the same time, he pulled Rong Yue’s phone that she was using to type happily away from her.
“Your wrist hurts and your eyes are heavy but you are using the cell phone even more than the person who is healthy,” he scolded as he tucked the phone away into his pocket.
“When we get to the hotel, I’ll hand it over to you,” he added.
His words immediately made Rong Yue who was just about to protest stop. Her hands halted in the air.
After some seconds, she sighed, leaned her head back, and closed her eyes.
The trip to the hotel was short, although the hotel was picked by the government, for the Qin family that held Beijing in their hands, telling them the hotel to pick for the students wasn’t a difficult thing.
This way, Qin Yichen was able to make sure that she got standard treatment while also staying together with the other students.
James rushed ahead to confirm the reservations while Qin Yichen carried their bags.
Rong Yue on the other hand looked around curiously. Although she had gotten the chance to travel around the world in her last life, it was not at this stage and even the great America was not yet close to what it looked like ten years into the future.
Since she was planning to depend on technology, she studied everything she saw, using it to gauge what point they were at right now.
The room that James booked was a penthouse that had three rooms. It was more than enough for the two of them and Qin Yichen placed her bag in one of the rooms.
“You can get some proper sleep, I’ll make food available when you wake up,” he told her before stepping out of the room.
On the other hand, Wu Hao and the other people had only just arrived. Unlike Rong Yue, each of the students had several bags and had to spend time offloading the cab properly.
Feng Ya, the only girl amongst them had three bags and was looking around to see if she could get some assistance.
However, her eyes opened wide like she had seen a ghost as she stared at a firm and domineering back that she was familiar with.
“He’s in the US?” She mumbled softly as she tried to remember the latest news that she had heard about him.
She shook her head as the departing back disappeared from her view.
“Perhaps, I have gone sick from thinking about him..” she mumbled, shaking her head to get rid of the thoughts.
“Student Feng, let me help you with this bag, you can try to carry the other two until we get to the reception,” one of the government representatives said as he took her biggest bag from her.
“If we run into our own country’s girl during the competition, we won’t be able to recognize her as we have no idea what she looks like,” Feng Ya murmured as she wondered if Rong Yue was also an attractive person.
Although social media was just on the rise, several people in high schools and colleges were all registered and used it.
Yet, when she checked for Rong Yue’s name, she had been unable to see anything.
For someone like her, appearance was really a lot, after all, it was said that what someone cared about the most was always important to them.
In the capital, Feng Ya was also regarded as one of the top five beauties in their popular groups. Her brain was what gave her the edge over the others.
And so now that she had seen someone beat her hands down, she was very curious about what she looked like.
“Surely, student Rong would also be some dazzling beauty right?” She added, seeing that none of the two boys replied to her first question.
The boy on her left, Wu Da chuckled, “I doubt that student Rong can be a beauty like that, after all, a combination of beauty and brains like you is really hard to find.” The boy said, licking her boots in the process.
Feng Ya smiled but hid her thoughts while glancing at the other boy, Zi Bao who had kept quiet and said nothing.
As for Wu Hao, he was walking slightly in front of them and had heard the conversation. However, he made no reaction like he heard, after all, the compelling was in two days, he was sure that when they finally saw Rong Yue, their view of the world was going to change!
At the same time, he looked at Feng Ya’s face one more time from his side eyes and resisted the urge to laugh.
If this was called dazzling beauty, then he was ready to see these two blinded by Rong Yue when they met!
The seven of them made their way into the hotel.
To save cost, teacher Lu and Wu Hao were paired to one room, the other two boys were paired to one room while Feng Ya had one room to herself.
As for the two representatives, they had their own individual rooms too.
“Teacher Lu, bear with the arrangement as the government officials didn’t know that you would come with the student,” one of them apologized sincerely.
“I understand, it’s better this way, I get to keep an eye on Wu Hao and make sure he’s managing his time properly!” Teacher Lu said.
After getting their room cards, all of them went their separate ways.
