Chapter 91: Complaining (Bonus Chapter for Alliance Leader ‘Hum a Little Love Song’) (Sixteenth Update)

He looked at the seat numbers along the way, searching for seat H2.

The seats on the train were distributed on both sides, with a spacious aisle in the middle.

Additionally, the direction of the seats on the train was not uniform; instead, it adopted a format of three seats facing three seats, somewhat resembling a small compartment.

This design was also intended to prevent passengers from getting too bored during the journey and to allow them to communicate with each other.

There were quite a lot of people in the carriage; most of the seats were full. Nearly half of them were students, with some accompanying parents and ordinary passengers.

When Su Ming found seat H2, he was slightly taken aback, seeing Gu Meng and her two companions sitting directly opposite his seat.

However, he calmly placed his suitcase on the luggage rack above. Then he sat down, took out a single earbud, put it on, and quietly listened to music.

Gu Meng glanced at the rather handsome young man sitting in front of her and felt a strange sense of familiarity. It was as if she had seen him somewhere before, but she couldn’t recall where.

As for Qi Shen and Liu Xiao, they also found Su Ming somewhat familiar but didn’t recognize him, though they didn’t pay it much mind.

Qi Shen took out a bottle of high-end mineral water and solicitously handed it to Gu Meng.

“Meng, have some water.”

“No, I get angry just thinking about Yu Wei. What’s so great about her? I don’t understand why so many people flock around her. Isn’t she just a bit fairer, a bit better at academics, and good at pretending? Qin Feng and the others are all completely infatuated, they’re such fools.”

The more Gu Meng thought about it, the angrier she got. At graduation, everyone revolved around her, and even on the train, she had to see Yu Wei showing off. She really got angrier the more she thought about it.

Of course, the most important point was that she felt extremely unbalanced. She had always believed that she was no worse than Yu Wei, but Yu Wei got into Royal Court Academy, while she only got into an ordinary school in Star City.

“Don’t be angry, you’ll hurt yourself.”

Qi Shen quickly advised.

Su Ming couldn’t help but glance at Gu Meng again. This woman was truly interesting.

The first time they met, she relentlessly criticized Lin Chuyu, and now she was scolding Yu Wei. She really didn’t get along with anyone.

At this moment, Liu Xiao, who was beside her, said to Gu Meng with a hint of unease.

“Sister Gu, Yu Wei and her friends are also on this train, and they seem to be in the adjacent carriage. And she also got into Royal Court Academy. Wouldn’t it be bad if she overheard you?”

“Hmph, getting into Royal Court Academy is nothing special! She’s not the only one who got in.”

Gu Meng didn’t care at all.

“Sister Gu is right, I heard that Lin Chuyu also got in.”

Liu Xiao hesitated for a moment, then shifted the topic to Lin Chuyu.

Indeed, when Gu Meng heard Liu Xiao mention Lin Chuyu, she immediately became even more furious. She gritted her teeth and said.

“Don’t mention her to me! I don’t understand how General Ames could have taken a liking to her. What’s so good about her? She was specially recruited, and they added 30 performance points to her score in one go. Otherwise, with her auxiliary subject scores, how could she possibly have gotten into Royal Courtyard Academy Outer School? It really pisses me off. Her luck has always been so good since she was little…”

As Su Ming watched Gu Meng start talking about Lin Chuyu, his expression grew even more peculiar. She really was complaining one after another.

At this moment, the more Gu Meng spoke, the angrier she became, her ample chest heaving continuously, and the crucial thing was that she was wearing a tight leather outfit.

For a moment, Qi Shen felt parched, and even Su Ming couldn’t help but glance at her again; it was truly magnificent.

Seemingly sensing Su Ming’s gaze, Gu Meng looked at Su Ming, feeling a bit embarrassed for a moment. After all, ever since the rather handsome young man sat down in front of her, she had been scolding people.

At this moment, when Su Ming saw Gu Meng looking at him, he averted his gaze to avoid unnecessary trouble.

“Yeah, I was also quite puzzled that Lin Chuyu was specially recruited. And Li Fubai, who had the highest hopes of getting in, actually failed.”

Liu Xiao was also very puzzled.

“Li Fubai, that guy is stupid. He went to appeal himself and got his scores revoked.”

Gu Meng said mockingly.

“So the rumors were true.”

“Not only is it true, but the most unexpected thing is that Li Fubai’s appeal target was Su Ming, who was with Lin Chuyu. However, even though he had performance points deducted like Li Fubai, he still got into Royal Courtyard Academy Outer School.”

When Gu Meng spoke of this matter, she also felt it was a bit too fantastical.

“That damn fatty, he just relied on his Three Cities household registration to get admitted to Royal Court Academy. If it were me, I could do it too.”

Qi Shen said, very displeased.

The thought of Su Ming making him lose face in front of Gu Meng and so many people last time made him extremely annoyed.

Hearing Qi Shen speak about him like that, Su Ming propped his face with one hand, and with a calm expression, he interjected.

“With the deduction for Three Cities, could you get in?”

Qi Shen was instantly speechless. Even with the deduction, his score was still a hundred and eight thousand miles away from the Royal Courtyard Academy Outer School’s cutoff line; he simply couldn’t get in.

He was just talking trash and belittling Su Ming, but he didn’t expect someone to expose him.

Qi Shen immediately glared at Su Ming angrily and said.

“Who are you?! What’s it to you?!”

“Why can’t it be to me? You’re scolding me right to my face? Is that polite?”

Su Ming asked calmly.

When Gu Meng and her two companions heard him, they were struck as if by lightning, looking at Su Ming in disbelief. They kept scrutinizing Su Ming, and the more they looked, the more he resembled him.

Qi Shen immediately said somewhat flustered.

“You’re Su Ming? Aren’t you very fat?”

“I am Su Ming, and I’m not fat. I’ve already lost weight, and I’m even thinner than you. So stop calling me ‘damn fatty’; it’s very impolite.”

Su Ming calmly warned Qi Shen.

Qi Shen’s face immediately turned crimson, but the problem was he really didn’t have the guts to confront Su Ming directly. Su Ming seemed gentle, but his words gave off a very strong sense of pressure.

Of course, the most important point was that Su Ming had gotten into Royal Court Academy, and if nothing unexpected happened, his future was certainly limitless.

He was actually a little afraid of running into Su Ming in the future.

Moreover, he wasn’t in the right in this matter, so he simply kept quiet.

At this moment, Gu Meng looked at Su Ming in front of her and felt a strange sense of panic. After all, she had been scolding Lin Chuyu for half a day right in front of him.

She had a very deep impression of Su Ming; after all, he had been very assertive in the club back then.

Fortunately, Su Ming didn’t seem to intend to pursue the matter. He merely smiled faintly at the three of them, then closed his eyes and quietly listened to music.

Gu Meng and her two companions also stopped chatting, sitting awkwardly. For a moment, the entire carriage became quiet.

Time passed little by little, and the train sped forward.

At this moment, inside the enclosed driver’s cabin, a middle-aged man with a beard and a face full of wrinkles was operating the train.

Due to the lack of assistance from an intelligent system, the conductor needed to constantly control the train, ready to react immediately if any special circumstances occurred.

“Conductor Kalang, would you like to rest? I’ll operate it.”

At this moment, a rather young man wearing a train uniform asked.
