Chapter 16
Lin Meng carefully tidied her hair in front of the school public restroom. Her hands gracefully moved through her flowing black hair to form it back to its former impeccable, tidy look. As she adjusted her hair, she said to her little brother who had a satisfied look on his face,
"You can go wait for your results at the front office first. I'll be there in a minute."
"Sure." Lin Feng readily agreed.
Clang
The restroom door slammed close. Lin Meng's face darkened with a blush after Lin Feng left. She looked into a random corner of the room and said grimly,
"Keep your mouth shut about this."
At the random corner she looked to, appeared a slim woman dressed in a black suit along with a pair of dark spectacles, "Of course, Mistress."
Lin Meng nodded and popped a mint in her mouth before leaving the room.
Lin Feng was already holding his assessment result in his hands by the time she arrived.
"How did you do?" She asked as she took a seat next to him.
He passed the score over to her and replied smilingly, "Perfect score."
"I expect nothing less." She smiled back warmly. She took the score and walked back to the grumpy receptionist. "So?"
The old lady glared and said, "He can start next week. We'll send information regarding his class some time tomorrow." She opened the cabinet by her and took out a pile of clothes wrapped in plastic, "Here's his uniform. Pay up."
Lin Meng was once again, taken back by the old woman's rude attitude so she slapped out a pile of money from her purse and passively uttered, "Keep the change."
With that done, she took the uniform in one arm and Lin Feng's hand in the other and marched out of the office.
"What an obnoxious peasant!" Lin Meng explaimed vulgary.
This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.
Lin Feng was taken back by his gentle sister's harsh words and tried to appease her, "Dearest sister, watch your language..."
She huffed heavily until they reached their car. Her breathing gradually calmed and her mature demeanor returned, "Let's get your clothes tailored now. It would be a great insult to me if your clothes don't fit perfectly."
"Indeed. Indeed." Lin Feng still went along with whatever she said, still having the impression that she was pissed off. He couldn't care less about minute details of his school attire.
About half an hour later, the had arrived at their destination. As Lin Meng chose the outskirts of the already remote Cloud City to give her precious little brother the best environment to recover in, they were quite far away from the center of the city where all the businesses are situated. Cloud City's First Highschool was situated between the center of the city and the outskirts but they had to take a detour due to the geographic composition of the city which lead to the long ride. Lin Feng was surprised to find the center of the city to be very lively and modern, like a highly developed first class city. This was the first major difference he noticed compared to his old world.
They were parked under what seemed to be a high-end mall.
"Let's go." Lin Meng reached her hand out to him after they exited the car so they can walk hand in hand. Her hand felt a bit cold after being in the car ride for so long but the impeccable softness that made her hand feel almost boneless was still there.
The pair gracefully boarded the elevator with holding hands while Lin Meng carried a bag with his uniform in her other hand. When Lin Feng noticed this, he gladly volunteered to hold it for her in which she happily complied to.
The fourth floor was very lively. After a couple of steps of walking out of the elevator, they were immediately grabbed by a young salesman to his cart.
"Customers, please take a look at our new product." The young man proudly presented a bulky item before them, "This is a massaging wand made with the newest vibration technology, being able to hit even the deepest of tendons! With this, your muscles will be healthy and engorged!"
The pair of lovebirds looked at each other and laughed. The young man's marketing skills were truly out of this world. They didn't even know half the things he was spouting about. Lin Feng gave a standard "No thanks" and escorted himself out of the young salesman's reach.
It should be mentioned, the mall had a very nice atmosphere about it. The ceiling was brightly lit with an abundence of ornaments hanging here and there, like it was a holiday with carts of various products neatly lined up in a flashy fashion. Along the walls, were shops and booths placed by companies with a somewhat well-known branding.
The pair naturally visited whatever seemed appealing to them.
"Little Feng! What do you think of this?"
"Little Feng! How does this suit me?"
"Little Feng! Look! Look! Doesn't this look nice?"
Lin Meng seemed like a vibrant teenage girl again. Before long, the number of bags Lin Feng had to carry slowly increased. She seemed to have forgotten that he just came out of coma not long ago and wouldn't have the strength and stamina to carry all of this. Thankfully, his powers cathered towards vitality, enabling him to do all these carrying without breaking a sweat.
