Chapter 61 - 24: Apology (Part 2)

Su Xiaocai: "..." The stars and sea can’t grow crops.

Wu Qingqing still had classes, she hurried to the classroom, and Su Xiaocai took the school bus alone to the faculty office building.

On the bus, curious gazes kept coming.

Su Xiaocai closed her eyes for a nap, and as soon as the door closed, murmurs filled the bus, and with her good hearing she caught their whispers.

"Since those students didn’t apologize, does it mean she lied yesterday."

"If I were her, I definitely wouldn’t dare to go out today until the results are out."

"Shh, don’t say anymore, she has a lawyer, and if she’s unhappy she might send you a letter."

"Hahaha! We’re not badmouthing her, a letter is too much."

"Can’t take a joke."

Amidst the laughter, Su Xiaocai got off the bus as usual, silently memorizing their faces.

She’s one to hold grudges too, childishly declaring she’d never play with them again, huh.

She consoled herself with a bit of the Ah Q spirit theory.

Su Xiaocai found Teacher Mei Lan, the one with a high hairline and partly bald forehead.

Not seen for some time, and it seems his hairline receded a bit more.

Upon hearing Su Xiaocai proactively wanted to join the special training this time, Mei Lan was surprised: "You want to join the patrol too?"

He felt it wasn’t necessary; Su Xiaocai’s skills were strong, she should just wait until it’s closer to the competition to train with the school’s athletes.

"It’s because of my roommate, I’m her personal coach now."

Mei Lan: "..." A strong reason.

Has the college student part-time project increased again?

With the registration period ending soon, Mei Lan thought for a while, and had a great idea, "Would you be willing to be an attendant?"

Su Xiaocai: "???"

What kind of attendant?

Mei Lan explained a bit.

An attendant is responsible for logistics like distributing supplies, repairing, and errands, all require students’ participation, with her in the mix there it would surely feel natural.

Only the attendant registration is different from the Mecha Department.

"If you don’t mind, let’s settle it like this." When the registration for attendants opens, Mei Lan will get Su Xiaocai a spot.

Su Xiaocai praised Mei Lan’s cleverness, being an attendant is better, she’d have more time to improve her Qi Sensing.

Everyone says moving from Level Three to Level Four in Qi Sensing is a hurdle, from Level Four to Level Five is even harder.

Just to cross Level Five, with effort, reaching Level Seven or Eight becomes a lot easier.

The highest level announced so far is Level Thirteen, that of a Vice Admiral.

Whether there’s a higher one, nobody knows.

The public rarely interacts with military personnel. Thanks to the efforts of TV, movies, and the internet promoting Mecha, it makes the Military Department so popular.

Su Xiaocai has a hunch this year she’ll break through, yet felt at a loss, hearing that there’s a big difference between Level Four and Level Three in Qi Sensing but couldn’t pinpoint where.

With two months until the semester ends, Su Xiaocai is not in a hurry.

Since Mei Lan will handle her registration, she no longer worries about it.

On her way back, Su Xiaocai received a message from the principal saying: The matter has been clarified, four students will publicly apologize at school, their apology letter is being written and will be completed within two hours.

With the principal overseeing, there’s little for Su Xiaocai to worry about.

However, she found it odd that her school performance, though not overly modest, definitely wasn’t attention-grabbing.

Yet after leaving Su’s Planet, various troubles popped up inexplicably, has she unknowingly gained the trouble magnet trait?

Thinking about needing to bother seniors for field assistance later, she detoured to Professor Li’s experimental field.

The experimental field’s flowerbed was at its peak, square patches of flower sea swayed with the wind, occasionally petals would fall and dance, mesmerizingly beautiful.

The morning weather was nice, the sun bright, the senior sisters handled cutting flower seedlings under shaded trees.

Seniors stood in sunlight, their tan healthy, flashing bright white teeth as they smiled.

Seeing Su Xiaocai approach, the senior sisters immediately pulled her in for a caring hug, "Cai Bao, you were awesome yesterday, especially that shoulder throw, unbeatable cool."

"Those speaking ill of you online are just petty, we know your character, no need to take shortcuts like that."

"Against the petty you show them with a heavy punch, we’ll listen when they apologize later."

The senior sisters fervently condemned the rumor-spreaders, standing up for Su Xiaocai.

Su Xiaocai leaned against a senior sister’s arm, "Aside from my roommate, you’re the only ones who trust me, so touched."

"Yes, we’re such good friends."
