Chapter 8: The Headmaster Is Too Handsome To Be Wary Of Him

She wondered why she felt the lift move again when Xuanyuan Chen didn’t press any buttons.

“Ding!” The elevator door opened, and they were directly in front of a door already!

Holy shit! Straight through!

By the doorway, stood a beautiful big sister dressed in a purple phoenix patterned cheongsam. The dress wrapped around her s-shape  body. The cheongsam looked perfect on her, and it emphasized an Oriental woman’s beauty.

The older sister smiled at me and asked, “You’re Xia Xiaolan, right?”

“Yes…” I froze a bit before replying.

“Please come in.” She smiled at me, and I stepped cautiously out of the lift door.

“I’ll go first.” Behind me, Xuanyuan Chen’s cold, faint voice echoed. A chill immediately emerged on the big sister’s smile, and  I silently moved a step away. This big sister wasn’t simple.

Holy shit…

This is the headmaster?!!!

The door slowly closed behind me, and I stared, dumbfounded, at the man standing in front of the carved round window with his back to me. He was dressed in black silk. The color black wasn’t dull, but instead, brought out the feeling of dignity and solemnity.

Thump! My heart jumped. Father, I’ve met an older man who should be more handsome than you!

“The journey must not have been easy for you today.” A  gentle, mild voice instantly removed all the unease, panic, fear, and exhaustion from Xia Xiaolan’s mind.

I felt like I was going to betray my father!

He slowly turned around, his warm smile dazzled me so much, I couldn’t see the rest of his face.

“Are you terrified?” The older man’s voice was like a gentle baritone on the midnight radio, lulling you to sleep.

“I’m okay…” I stared blankly at his stunningly handsome face, and I felt my heart stop for a moment as if I was looking at my idol. “I… I’m a little nervous.”

He smiled, akin to a spring breeze.

“It seems you already know something about this place.” He sat down and crossed his arms under his perfect chin, and his red lips formed a smile. “You’re  a lot like your mother.”

His words brought me back to the present instantly. My mother!

“Is your father okay?” He suddenly asked, and I saw  a faint coldness cross his narrow, dark eyes.

I thought for a moment and carefully replied, “My father is the same as ever.”

“Hmph, mortals are that comfortable!” He snorted lightly, as if incomparably disgusted. It was extraordinarily similar to that of Xuanyuan Chen who just left!

Well, it’s still my father who is the most handsome. Those who dislike my father, kill! No matter how handsome he is, I won’t like or love  him!

My heart, which had been beating irregularly, instantly returned to normal like stagnant water.

He smiled at me. “I hope you can study hard here and become as amazing as your mother.”

I looked at him lightly and said, “Are you the headmaster?”

“Yes.”

“Why do you want me to come? Is it because of my mother?”

“Yes.” He looked at me with narrowed eyes and a smile, looking at me with gentleness..

Sure enough, it was because of my mother. My mother had actually come to this academy, and now it finally made sense why she kept such a box.

I touched the pendant hidden under my neckline. “But I’m a mortal, how could I possibly keep up? I feel like I don’t fit in here at all. I’d rather leave now than end up being expelled or eliminated…”

How humiliating to end up being kicked out. I could envision my father’s look of  disdain like Fusu’s, as if he was saying that a mortal came to the Academy of God and Demons to be a laughingstock.

He smiled gently and asked, “Do you really think so? Why don’t you stay for a few days and see if you change your mind.”

My eyebrows quirked. “Fine, see you later, principal.”

I turned around and walked away, but as I arrived by the doorway, I regretted it. Why did I leave the mortal world in the first place?

If I go back down there, I’ll still be a digger!

Then I’d  find an excavator boyfriend, fall in love, get married, have kids, and our kids would be second generation diggers!

f*ck me! I can’t bring disaster to my kids!

I can’t pass my life full of failure to my children!

Yes! I can’t continue in this miserable fate! I must not let this happen! I don’t want my life to be a failure!

I want to change my fate!

I must change!!!

I would stay here and work hard. Even if I only swept the rubbish here, I would  still be a God! What the hell was the face? For the sake of the next generation of the Xia family to avoid the fate of being excavators, I would stay here!

My eyebrows furrowed, I clench my fists, throwing my pride to somewhere far, far away, and I turned around, solemnly saying, “Headmaster, I’ve changed my mind! I’m going to stay here!”

The headmaster, the beautiful man, smiled. “That’s the right decision.”

What I, Xia Xiaolan, have decided to do, I would follow through even if there were thousands of obstacles in front of me. I would grit my teeth and carry through! I chose my own path, I would crawl  through it!

“The first test…” The headmaster raised his finger and continued, “…is to  find  a dormitory that will take you in.”

“What?” A dorm room that would take me in? What exactly does the headmaster mean? Wereren’t dormitories assigned by the school? There was no such thing as taking in?

While I was still busy thinking in confusion, the pretty big sister was already pulling me out of the door.  I could only see the charming smile of the headmaster.

The big sister escorted me to the elevator, and said, “If you don’t understand anything, ask Chen.”

Chen? So intimate! What was your relationship with the cold emperor?

Ask him? He would just give me a blank stare and would  order me to go away! I might be a moral, but I still had a backbone! Why do I need to stick my nose in the emperor’s business? I wouldn’t go looking for him!

The lift stopped, and the doors opened. The first thing I saw was the emperor sitting in his car, reading a book with a cold face that clearly stated: Don’t mess with me!

The driver saw me, and I immediately waved my hand at him. He smiled, and I jumped out of the lift, turned around, and ran  away. We just came here, so I could still memorize the route, so I knew the way out.
