15. Raiden Mei's Invitation
"Here, this is the money for yesterday's meal." Kiana placed a banknote in front of Yun Ling.
"It's really not necessary..."
Yun Ling was about to refuse, but all he saw was the back of Kiana's head.
Alas, the road to conquering Cats and Bugs is long and arduous.
On the contrary, Raiden Mei actually had some verbal communication with him.
"Student Yun Ling, these are my notes from yesterday's math class. I lent them to student Kiana yesterday, and I thought... You might need them too."
Raiden Mei blinked her purple eyes with a gentle smile on her face.
Yun Ling took it with a smile.
"Thank you, Raiden Squat Leader."
Mei shook her head nonchalantly: "Raiden Squat Leader always sounds weird...why don't you just call me Mei Class Leader like the other students? And you should pay attention in class from now on!"
Yun Ling saluted and replied, "As you command!"
The funny actions made Mei laugh out loud.
Yun Ling could see that Mei's purpose of communicating with him was to maintain her image in the eyes of her classmates.
The noble and gentle "Queen of Thunder and Lightning".
Even without listening carefully, one could still hear a hint of arrogance in her words, perhaps even she herself was not aware of it.
As for Yun Ling, who was very knowledgeable, Raiden Mei nodded with satisfaction.
Looking at the two of them chatting happily, Kiana frowned subconsciously.
Very strange.
Because in the dream, Ling hardly communicates with other girls, and even deliberately distances himself from them.
It was as if he only had eyes for me.
But in reality, Yun Ling can chat with her best friend in her dream.
He also seems to accept advances from other girls.
Could it be that I am really overthinking it?
Or does he want to use the other girls to attack me?
Looking at the two of them talking and laughing, Kiana's legs began to tremble unconsciously.
After the two finished talking, Raiden Mei walked towards Kiana again.
Kiana quickly picked up a book to cover herself and pretended to be reading.
"Kiana-san."
Kiana pretended to be surprised and put down the book, then raised her head in confusion: "Huh? Oh! It's Mei, Squat Leader. What's going on?"
Raiden Mei stated her purpose.
She wanted to hold a freshman welcome party for the two of them so that they could integrate into the class quickly.
Of course, you don't have to worry about the expenses, as all the expenses will be borne by Raiden Mei alone.
"What do you think, Kiana-san? Do you want to join us?" There was a look of unwillingness in Raiden Mei's eyes.
Kiana didn't seem to notice and nodded.
"Of course I can accept Mei's invitation... Well, I mean, I'll trouble you, Mei."
Kiana choked up halfway through her words because her relationship with Mei didn't seem as good as in her dream.
"It's okay, just call me Mei. Don't call me the wrong name next time."
Raiden Mei seemed a little surprised by Kiana's performance, but Kiana also made her more interested.
Because Kiana looks silly, giving people a very silly and naive feeling, completely different from other people.
How should I put it...she might kind of like this unconstrained mode of communication.
"Okay, Mei..." Kiana scratched her head, looking a little embarrassed.
After school, no one was left but waited for Raiden Mei to speak.
"I've asked the butler to prepare everything, let's go!"
Following Mei's order, the whole class cheered.
"Long live Squad Leader Mei!"
"The squad leader is the best!"
"Thank you, Squat Leader!"
Yun Ling couldn't help but laugh a few times, but no one found it strange. After all, in this kind of atmosphere, no one would be surprised even if you made a monkey sound.
But Kiana inexplicably heard a hint of mockery in these laughs.
This is indeed the case. Yun Ling really wants to record their faces and play them back at the right time. That way, the expressions on their faces will definitely be very exciting.
A group of people marched towards the celebration venue, which was a detached villa.
The others seemed to have anticipated this, as they had been here before, more than once.
"Please come in." Raiden Mei spread her hands and gestured.
A group of people rushed in.
But even if a whole class of people goes in, it won't seem particularly crowded.
Is this the financial strength of the Raiden family?
It was called a welcome party for the two of them, but in fact, it was also a small gathering of the class.
However, Yun Ling and Kiana can also be regarded as the center of the party.
"Don't be too formal, just be casual."
Raiden Mei said to the two of them.
"Don't worry, I will treat this place as my own home!"
Yun Ling gave her respect in return.
Raiden Mei nodded: "That would be great."
Kiana rolled her eyes at Yun Ling, then nodded in response to Mei.
Mei led a few people and gathered with Yun Ling and Kiana.
Mei suggested, "How about we play Truth or Dare?"
"I have no objection." Yun Ling accepted it without hesitation.
"Me too." Kiana nodded.
It is difficult for her to join in other people's conversations, but it is okay if they are just playing games.
However, the game console had been occupied by several people, and she was afraid of making a fool of herself by singing, so she could only sit aside and eat snacks, observing Yun Ling from time to time to see if there was anything unusual.
But Yun Ling just ate melon seeds while watching "Titanic" playing on the big color TV.
Occasionally chat with girls around me whose names I can't even remember.
Mei obviously noticed that the two of them were having a hard time fitting in, especially Kiana.
So she brought a few people to familiarize herself with the place.
The truth or dare game officially begins, with Raiden Mei opening the game.
As Raiden Mei moved the pointer, it finally slowly stopped in Yun Ling's direction.
Yun Ling's eyes widened slightly, somewhat in disbelief.
"Is it such a coincidence?"
Raiden Mei narrowed her eyes and said, "Choose, Yun Ling, truth or dare?"
After thinking for a few seconds, Yun Ling responded, "I still have to test it out first. I choose the truth!"
The girls showed some strange expressions and made some noises of encouragement: "Wu~"
Seeing their expressions, Yun Ling admitted that he was a little panicked.
"Hey, you're not going to ask anything particularly private, are you?"
"Don't worry, our questions are all drawn from here. There's nothing particularly private about them."
Raiden Mei took out a stack of cards and placed them on the table.
This sentence undoubtedly gave Yun Ling a shot of confidence in the arm.
It's Raiden Mei's turn, draw a card!
After seeing the problem, Mei Raiden's expression showed a hint of amusement.
"So... Yun Ling-san, what are your expectations for your future significant other? Or, in other words, what type of person of the opposite sex do you prefer?"
…
