CHAPTER 567: CHAPTER 568: THEY ARE TOO ANNOYING

Unhappy?

Everyone became even more unhappy at once, looking at Shi Mei’s exquisite face, feeling even more discontent.

Everyone was there to practice dance, and no one would put anything on their faces, let alone makeup. But Shi Mei’s face was radiant and moving, delicate and clean like it was polished.

All being women, it was impossible to say they weren’t envious.

Hearing her say this, their hostility towards her undoubtedly deepened.

Tu Xing said, "So what do you mean by that, are you going to accept the challenge or not?"

"I won’t," Shi Mei said softly, "There’s no benefit in accepting."

The crowd buzzed.

Not accepting?

"Isn’t that blatantly saying there’s something fishy going on?"

"Even Tu Min could be defeated, your strength must be strong. Now you won’t even accept such a simple challenge, could it be that you really entered through unspoken rules?"

"Haha, there are always a few every year, it’s just that I didn’t expect this year’s to be so arrogant!"

...

"Silence!" The teacher clapped and said impatiently, "What insider’s game are you talking about? You’re here to act like you’re on TV, just learning to dance and still playing with unspoken rules?"

"But teacher, you know who Tu Min is, the many awards she’s received are enough to prove her strength. Now we just want to challenge the person who defeated Tu Min, is that too much?"

"It’s not too much. Everyone has a desire to win, it’s good to have a competition with Shi, it helps everyone improve!"

They argued back and forth, somewhat relentless.

The teacher also became a bit impatient, looking at Shi Mei, he said, "Why don’t you compete with them?"

Shi Mei grunted and finally agreed.

Dongfang Xuanya looked at the whispering women around her, and no matter how she looked, she felt uneasy. She quietly moved closer to Shi Mei and said, "Are you really going to compete with them? It’s so annoying, I told them you didn’t want to compete, and they still said such nasty things."

She paused, seeing that Shi Mei did not say anything, asked softly, "But why don’t you want to compete with them? Could it be..."

Something fishy?

Dongfang Xuanya didn’t finish her sentence, but Shi Mei already understood what she meant.

With a smile that was not quite a smile, Shi Mei said, "I just don’t like being forced to do things."

Dongfang Xuanya understood, nodding in agreement, but then she quickly asked, "What about now?"

"They’re too annoying!" Shi Mei waved her hand and then got up to stretch a bit, asking them, "How do you want to compete?"

"Anything goes as long as it proves your strength," said Tu Xing with her arms crossed, not looking too friendly.

Watching this scene, Dongfang Xuanya silently thought that this must be the atmosphere famously described as ’drawing swords and bending bows.’

How exciting!

Shi Mei raised an eyebrow, "That’s too vague, and moreover, you guys ganging up on me, aren’t you going to offer a prize?"

Dongfang Xuanya asked, "What’s a prize?"

"It’s a reward, or a wager," Shi Mei said.

"Oh, I see," Dongfang Xuanya nodded and then said, "I’ll place a wager then. I bet you’ll win. Should we bet money?"

"I don’t need money, let’s play for something else," Shi Mei looked at Tu Xing who was leading the group, "What can you offer me if I win?"
