Lu Xia came back from her lectures, her arms carrying the books she took back to study. Walking back into the villa, she saw Jin Yang over there, seating on the couch, Ai Jia pestering her.
Running towards her, she threw her books on the table before hugging Jin Yang, pushing Ai Jia, making him land on the floor. "How long have you not been here? Seriously," Lu Xia complained as she hugged her tightly.
Jin Yang let out a chuckle while staring at the girl. "I was cooling off. Ai Jia was making my blood boil," Jin Yang said as she glared at Ai Jia who was on the floor, massaging his head due to from the hit. Lu Xia giggled before nodding her head, standing up and walking away, purposely hitting Ai Jia's head once more.
"Liang Sheng, I don't know how to do this... Can help me?" Lu Xia asked as she approached Liang Sheng, holding out the paper that has her notes on. Liang Sheng looked at her blankly before looking at the paper. He shook his head before looking back to his PC.
Lu Xia silently groaned as she took the paper away before seating down, figuring how to the answer.
"Family violence," Jiao Huang suddenly said, popping out of nowhere, looking at her paper.
"You- Don't randomly touch my paper without me knowing and how did you even know that is the answer, this is a complicated Chinese law paper and you say you can understand the words that are being written over there?" Lu Xia blabbered. Jiao Huang simply nodded his head before looking at Liang Sheng who was searching the answer on the internet.
Liang Sheng continued to scratch his head constantly non-stop. "Lu Xia, I don't think the answer can be found in here, I didn't know the internet is that shit," Liang Sheng muttered as he stopped scrolling.
"I thought your username was student and you looked like you are really smart, you know," Lu Xia said, pouting before looking back at her paper.
"나는 그것이 가정 폭력이라고 말했다. 당신은 나를 믿고 싶어하지 않을 것이다 (I said that it is family violence. You don't want to believe me)," Jiao Huang said, looking at Lu Xia, raising his eyebrows.
"How would I know whether you are right? I don't know you very well," Lu Xia scoffed before folding her arms, looking at him.
"저는 한국에 있을 때 법학을 공부했습니다 (I study law when I was at Korea)," Jiao Huang replied, obviously trying to prove Lu Xia wrong. Lu Xia nearly gave a resigned eye contact, till she looked away, writing down the answer.
Lu Xia looked at her phone, obviously bored, her motivation wasn't there at all.
"Tomorrow marks the start of the competition, I expect every one of you to be prepared, we can't lose this championship. Because of you, my salary pay gets deducted. I don't want this to happen once more," The manager said, walking towards them.
Lu Xia quietly rolled her eyes, obviously annoyed by him before letting a soft scoff. Liang Sheng lightly kicked her leg to get her to shut up. Silently groaning, Lu Xia stood up, walking away, to her room, slamming the door.
"Her anger issues needs to be checked," Jiao Huang muttered as he saw En Shuo and Ai Jia jumping out of fright from the loud sound.
"Don't say that. She and the manager have some conflict. After that one incident, she has grown to hate him a lot but is unable to say anything because that manager will get her kicked out. That manager can create any fake news and just cause the person to get out. Just like the ADC that we used to have, he was amazing actually, I think the manager didn't like him," En Shuo said.
"She is the daughter of the Lu Company. She can join ZGDX anytime, it is just that she rather stay here than with her two brothers," Ai Jia said. "Seriously, do you not even read up or something about your own teammates?"
Jiao Huang let out a shrug when he heard that, he wasn't really understanding the entire concept.

She woke up, got her things ready. He did the same. Unknown to the both, both was wearing a near matching outfit because of the jacket, the same brand of fragrances.
"Yah, y'all look like couples," Rong Rong said. Ze Liang turned around, looking at them. Lu Xia and Jiao Huang looked at each other, up and down before continuing to walk down the stairs.
"It was clearly unintentional," Lu Xia said, letting out a huff, grabbing her breakfast that Ze Liang ordered for her. Rong Rong wiggled his eyebrows before focusing back on his food.
"Lu Xia, you have afternoon classes after this, after the selection, I'll get a driver to send you to campus," Ze Liang said, earning a nod from Lu Xia.
Lu Xia looked at her phone before proceeding out of the villa, going to the bus, trying to get the seat. The rest soon followed and soon the bus was long gone from the villa. Cheers from different fans could be heard as they come down from the bus, Rong Rong and Ai Jia quickly gave signatures to the fans, while En Shuo tripped on his own feet.
Lu Xia silently sighed as she walked to the entrance, she was too tired to deal with all this shits.
"You hate this don't you," Jiao Huang whispered as he walked next to her, trying to match her speed. Lu Xia looked at him, stunned at what he said. She quickly looked back down, staring at her feet as they continued to walk to the room.
Jiao Huang sighed softly as he heard no response coming out from her.
"My wife is the host today," Ai Jia whispered to Liang Sheng. Lu Xia let out a silent giggle as she saw Liang Sheng preventing his eyes from rolling when he heard it again.
"I know. You better mind your actions. Don't go too wild," Liang Sheng warned.10Please respect copyright.PENANA1QjuQ8aDIA
"It's none of your business. So nosey," Ai Jia said. Liang Sheng ignored him before explaining the rules to Jiao Huang. Lu Xia looked at Ai Jia, giving him a laugh.
"If you were to do anything, I will make sure to take a photo of it. I'll frame it," Lu Xia said. The moment Jin Yang walked up the stage, Ai Jia raised up his hands, trying to gain the attention till Liang Sheng hit him.
As Cheng Ge went up, Lu Xia noticed something. He wasn't feeling well. She looked at Lu Yue who was not bothering about anything before groaning. She kicked the back of his chair, tilting her head to the side, asking him to look at Cheng Ge. Lu Yue threatened to hit her before looking at Cheng Ge.
"Give Ge some medicine later when you are at the waiting room," Lu Xia whispered to Lu Yue. Lu Yue nodded his head before looking back in front. Ai Jia stood walking to the stage, getting ready to show off his prime time.
Lu Xia took a deep breath in before looking back in front, trying to hold her laughter. Ai Jia tried to hug Jin Yang who rejected it awkwardly before he took a picture with her after he picked the position. Lu Xia took her phone, taking a photo of it.
Lu Xia stood up the moment it ended running up towards Cheng Ge, touching his forehead.
"Yah, you sick ass man. Did you not take any medicine? Seriously, are you that stupid? You are competing in two days time and you decided to not have any medicine," Lu Xia chided at him. Lu Yue quickly covered her mouth, making her words muffled.
"Ge isn't the type to listen to our dear sister talk. Now shoo, you have lessons to attend to," Lu Yue said, pulling her away from Cheng Ge.
"Cheng Ge, are they just creating a more headache for you?" Tong Yao asked as she looked at the siblings walking away. Cheng Ge nodded his head before giving a silent chuckle, walking away.
