Flowers Bloom from Battlefield

Jun Hua woke up early the next morning and let Xia help her prepare herself. Madam Xie and Xiao Yun were cleaning up the quarters diligently.

Jun Hua lazily walked to the gate, but the moment she saw the view, she stood frozen in place. Lin San and Lin Yuan were waiting for her there. Both of them were dressed beautifully and they seemed to stare with dagger at the other one.

Jun Hua stared blankly. What have I missed?

Lin San looked at Jun Hua with smile. ”Sister Hua, since this is the first time you’re going to school from Lin family residence, why don’t we go together?”

”Sister Hua, don’t reject us,” Lin Yuan also said with smile.

Somehow, Jun Hua had goose bumps when she looked at them. The one you’re chasing is ’my brother’, right? Why did it seem like you’re chasing after me? Besides, I knew from your eyes that you didn’t really mean what you said. These two girls have changed so much in such short time…

Even Xia could not help, but roll her eyes. She looked at their servants behind them. From their expressions, it was clear that they were helpless with their Miss’ situation and they could only comply with her.

After struggling for half an hour, finally Jun Hua managed to decline their offer and got into her own carriage. By her side, Xia face felt awful. She already imagined the days onward were not going to be as peaceful as before.

Jun Hua passed a dry laugh. ”Hopefully, this trend will pass soon.”

Her hopes didn’t come true though, as a lot of girls in the class all pestered her and tried to get into her good side. In the end, Fan Lanying could not hold it in anymore and yelled at them all causing the two of them to get punished.

”Those dumb girls are insane! How can they expect to get close with your brother so easily? They’re truly annoying!”

Hearing Fan Lanying getting angry, Jun Hua felt a bit relieved. At least, her close friend wasn’t like the other girls who were eager to fawn after her. Jun Hua had been feeling restless. Had she done her move too quickly?

”Jun Hua, you need to learn how to refuse them! If you don’t know how, I will teach you martial arts and then help you knock them out!”

”Lanying, that’s impossible,” Jun Hua said in surprise. This girl was really not using her brain at all. If she went and beat up that bunch of girls, then tomorrow there would be another sensation in the capital.

Fan Lanying puffed her cheeks. ”They’re only eyeing your brother. Whatever you do, never comply with them. You won’t have any good ending.”

Jun Hua nodded. Her eyes tinged with interest. She clearly detected a few girls following after them. With Fan Lanying’s skill, she still wasn’t able to notice them, but Jun Hua can. Fan Lanying’s words were loud so they certainly heard her perfectly.

”Then, what should I do?”

”Just study as usual! I truly detest these girls. Looking pretty but they have venomous hearts. Do you think men are that easy to fool?”

Some of them were indeed easy to fool. Jun Hua remembered Lin Tang had been fooled completely by Chun Maora to the point that he dumped his own wife. There were also men who could pick a good girl and not get fooled by them.

Seeing that Jun Hua was silent, Fan Lanying sighed. ”Jun Hua, I’m really worried about you. With your personality, it will be hard for you to face them. Don’t worry though. I will definitely protect you at school!”

”Thank you Lanying,”

”Don’t mention it. Now, shall we finish our punishment?” Fan Lanying looked at the silk in front of her and sighed. With her skills, it would take her a long time to finish today’s punishment.

Jun Hua similarly stared at her own silk with dark face. She had barely managed to make a simple shape and now she has to finish a very complicated pattern. This was far harder than her usual task.

As the two of them did their work, Jun Hua noticed that the girl had slowly disappeared. Fan Lanying’s personality was very much disliked and many others didn’t want to face her head-on unless they have death wish. With that, they left the two of them alone.

Jun Hua barely managed to finish it with Fan Lanying did more than half of it after a couple of hours of working on it. She’s truly grateful for the girl’s help.

”Practice hard by yourself. You will surely improve,” Fan Lanying said as she bid her farewell.

Jun Hua returned to her carriage and Xia handed her a box of buns.

”You must be hungry Miss. They punished you for a long time.”
