Mischievous Princess Trilogy Volume 6: Ampere's Compromise

  "Principal, listen to me, we know being late is our fault, but the most urgent thing now is to let us take the exam!" Looking at An Pei's indifferent face, Uncle An's face turned darker and darker.

  Rui, Xin, Qin Muxiu and Ren Ye were all behind me. I couldn't see their expressions, but I knew no one would speak up, so it had to be me who broke the silence.

  "Do you really want to escape punishment like this?"

  "Principal, what did you say we should do?" I knew it wouldn't be that easy to get through.

  "You..."

  "Hey! That's enough, I've agreed to what you said, why make such a big fuss? You know how important this exam is for them, don't you?" An Bei Xuan lazily glanced at Da

  Uncle An inside the door said disdainfully.

  This exam is indeed very important, but what I'm afraid of isn't not passing the exam, it's being late on the day of the exam. St. Mary's has an unwritten rule that if you're late on the day of the exam, you'll be taken to

  A labyrinth, if passed, is merely a symbolic punishment, just a criticism or something, but if not passed, will be expelled from school, as for the student himself... naturally no one cares.

  It made students behave themselves all day and didn't dare to be late. However, no one told us about this matter, so I, Rui, and Xin naturally didn't take it to heart.

  "Hey, what's up?" Qin Muxiu poked An Beixun from behind.

  "Alright, you said it, don't regret it later!" Uncle An revealed a triumphant smile. (Long Ni: How evil!)

  "Alright, hurry up and open the door, we still have an exam to go to!" An Pei Xuan said impatiently, furrowing his brow.

  "Alright, alright, open the door." The large gate slowly opened at Uncle An's command.

  At the moment when the gate opened, I caught a glimpse of An Pei Xuan looking at me with my peripheral vision. I looked back at him in confusion, and he just smiled at me before striding into school.

  Seeing Ampere's smile, I stood still. His smile was so beautiful, but it carried a hint of pain, just like the thorny bird that sang only once in its lifetime, so poignant and moving.

  What a sorrowful and desolate scene that makes everything lose its luster. But it's precisely because of An Pei Xiang's smile that I feel somewhat uneasy.

  "Sister, what's wrong? Let's go?" Rui looked at me and didn't leave, turned around and pulled me.

  "Huh? Oh!"

  "Sister, what's wrong with you? Why are you so distracted?" Xīn also slowed down her pace.

  "It's okay! Let's go." He didn't have a habit of forcing a smile, so he didn't think to smile and put Rui and Xin at ease.

  Qin Muxiu and Ren Ye were also acting mysteriously, walking ahead and whispering to each other. Fortunately, my hearing is quite good, so I quickened my pace by two steps and just managed to catch their conversation.

  "Xiu, the school's punishment for being late is so severe. What kind of price do you think Xuan's dad will use to trade with Xuan?"

  "I don't know, but I'd bet anything it's the same price or worse."

  "What's going on? What could make Xuan Yu respond like this... so abnormally?"

  "Actually, I heard..."

  "Are you two enough?" Qin Mu Xiu just wanted to say something, but was interrupted by An Pei Xuan, and his tone sounded very impatient.

  "Uh..."

  "Uh..." Qin Mu and Ren Ye both shut their mouths in silence.

  "An Pei Xuan, what did Uncle An ask you to promise? Can you tell me?" There's something fishy about this matter, otherwise An Pei Xuan's smile wouldn't be so desperate.

  "What do you think? Do I look like someone who's good at pouring out their heart?" An Bei Xuan didn't slow down at all, continuing to walk forward in big strides without even turning her head back.
