Chapter 20 Getting to Know New Classmates
"Sis, sis, are you up yet? We need to go to class soon."
Hearing Chu Yichen's calls and the urgent knocking, the atmosphere in the room instantly became chaotic.
"Get up, get up. Wait for me a moment, I'll be right there."
After quickly tidying up, Chu Qiuchi said to Long Yueze on the bed, "I have to go to class. If you want to stay in the room, change into these pajamas first." As she spoke, she handed him a set of her own pajamas.
Long Yueze took the pajamas and teased, "Are you planning to keep a mistress in a gilded cage?"
Chu Qiuchi rolled her eyes dramatically and retorted, "Are you delicate? You're tall and strong, where's the delicateness in that!"
"Little sister~ How is it, am I cute enough?" As he spoke, the dragon blinked his alluring eyes and began to unleash a high-voltage electric shock on Chu Qiuchi. "Good little sister, can you take me out to see the world? This is my first time in the human realm!"
Chu Qiuchi was speechless for a moment, silently rubbing her forehead. "Big brother, be normal, I'm scared!" After a moment of thought, she stretched out her wrist. "Come on up!"
Long Yueze immediately perked up: "Alright, coming right now!" As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly transformed into a small, long dragon, tightly wrapping his arms around Chu Qiuchi's wrist, proudly wagging his tail. "Little sister, what are you afraid of? Are you afraid of being bewitched by me?"
Chu Qiuchi slapped his tail to hide him, and said through gritted teeth, "I'm afraid I won't be able to resist hitting you!"
As soon as they stepped outside, Chu Yichen quickly came forward to greet them: "Sis, you overslept today! Let's hurry to the restaurant to grab something to eat before heading to class. We should still have enough time."
When they arrived at the restaurant, it was already bustling with activity, and students were busy moving between the tables. They quickly found an empty seat and then headed to the food area to choose their favorite dishes.
During the meal, Chu Qiuchi accidentally revealed the little dragon on her wrist, and Chu Yichen's gaze was immediately drawn to it.
"Sis, what's that wrapped around your wrist? A snake? Don't you usually dislike these things?"
Chu Qiuchi quickly tugged at the clothes on her wrist to cover the little dragon, and said casually, "It's not a snake, it's a dragon-shaped bracelet."
Chu Yichen's doubts did not dissipate, and he pressed on, "The bracelet looks really realistic. When did you buy it? I didn't know."
Chu Qiuchi answered while eating, trying to change the subject: "Hurry up and eat your food, don't let it get cold. It's just a bracelet, I bought it on the street a couple of days ago, you just didn't see it."
Seeing this, Chu Yichen didn't press the matter further. The two quickly finished their breakfast and headed to the classroom.
When they arrived, there were already more than a dozen students in the classroom, chatting in twos and threes.
When Chu Qiuchi and Chu Yichen entered the classroom, everyone's eyes turned to them. The siblings casually greeted everyone, then looked around and chose an empty seat in a corner.
Soon, more and more people filled the classroom.
Suddenly, an exceptionally sweet voice rang out in the classroom, greeting everyone: "Hello everyone, nice to meet you!"
Hearing the voice, Chu Qiuchi looked up and couldn't help but exclaim, "What a sweet little girl! Her appearance makes the air feel sweeter."
There was a little girl with long, wavy, light pink hair that was casually draped behind her head. She wore a pink and blue bow hair clip and a pink magic robe. Her round face and almond-shaped eyes squinted into crescent shapes with her smile, making her look exceptionally cute.
Following the little girl was a boy of about seven or eight years old. He wore a green magic robe, had short, light blue wolf-tail hair, bright, almond-shaped eyes, a straight nose, and features so exquisite that they seemed to be works of art carefully sculpted by the goddess Nuwa.
They naturally exuded an aura that kept strangers at bay, as if the surrounding air had become chilling because of them. They managed to make the vibrant color green feel extremely cold. Their appearance undoubtedly added a bright spot to the classroom and attracted everyone's attention.
Just as everyone was still marveling at the two girls' good looks, another pretty little girl walked into the classroom, who looked to be about five or six years old.
Her reddish-brown hair fell smoothly down her sides, with her bangs slightly tucked behind her ears. Above her ears was an orange and white feather hair ornament. She wore a blue-black magic robe, and her expression was unusually serious.
Despite her young age, she possessed an undeniable presence. As she entered, the noise in the classroom gradually subsided, and everyone unconsciously lowered their voices, as if afraid of disturbing this extraordinary little girl.
The three of them didn't linger at the door and went straight into the classroom, heading towards the corner where Chu Qiuchi was. Chu Qiuchi couldn't help but smile, her eyes fixed on their approaching figures, secretly delighted: "My little beauties, come to my bowl!"
Chu Yichen noticed his sister's unusual reaction. He gently nudged Chu Qiuchi and teased, "Sis, mind your image. You're drooling! Look at you, acting like you've never seen the world before."
Chu Qiuchi was pulled back to reality by her brother's words. She coughed lightly, trying to cover up her embarrassment: "Everyone has a love for beauty! Who told me I was born with eyes that know how to appreciate beauty!"
Her voice carried a hint of awkwardness, but she quickly turned her attention back to the three striking figures, inwardly admiring their extraordinary presence.
Then she secretly glanced at herself and Chu Yichen. Their attire today was equally eye-catching: both were wearing red magic robes and black inner garments.
Chu Yichen's short, black, choppy hair parted in a 3/7 ratio looked energetic and stylish, while Chu Qiuchi had shoulder-length curly hair. Both of them wore red hats that their mother had prepared for them.
Moreover, they both inherited their father's almond-shaped eyes and their mother's heart-shaped face. Chu Yichen is born with a smiling face, optimistic and cheerful, like a little sun, warm and full of vitality.
Chu Qiuchi has a more flamboyant temperament than her younger brother. When she doesn't smile, she gives off a cold and aloof feeling, making her difficult to approach.
Chu Qiuchi thought to herself, their looks are both outstanding, so they don't seem to be lacking in anything.
The three people who came over sat down in the empty seats in front of and behind Chu Qiuchi and Chu Yichen respectively.
The two girls chose to sit in the front row, while the boy sat alone in the last row. Judging from their actions and expressions, they clearly knew each other.
Chu Qiuchi and Chu Yichen noticed this detail and exchanged a knowing glance. The surrounding classmates were also whispering about their relationship.
After they took their seats, the little girl in the pink dress in the front row turned around and greeted Chu Qiuchi and Chu Yichen with a sweet smile.
"Hello, my name is Puyang Minghui, it's nice to meet you. Are you two siblings? I noticed you as soon as I came in."
As she spoke, she gently tugged at the little girl in the blue dress next to her, signaling her to join the conversation.
"My name is Nalan Xingyao."
"Yes, we are siblings. My name is Chu Qiuchi, and this is my younger brother, Chu Yichen. Hello!"
"Judging from your names, you're from one of the five great families?" Chu Yichen asked curiously.
Puyang Minghui smiled and replied, "Yes, I am from the Puyang family, Xingyao is from the Nalan family, and the one after that is from the Jimo family."
Chu Qiuchi continued, "Then why did you all choose to come to Mingxi Holy Academy? I heard that the royal family and most noble families study at Holy Light Noble Academy."
Puyang Minghui chuckled softly and explained, "My grandfather is the dean of Mingxi Holy Academy, and he and the dean of Holy Light Noble Academy are old rivals. If I went there, I'd get my legs broken. Xingyao and Yu-ge, one is the granddaughter of my grandfather's good friend, and the other is my aunt's son, so they came here together."
After hearing Puyang Minghui's explanation, Chu Qiuchi suddenly realized why they all chose Mingxi Holy Academy—they were all relatives of the dean! But, Brother Yu? Could the boy behind him be named Ji Moyu? Hmm! That's a good name; it suits me perfectly.
