Chapter 30: First Meeting as Jun Hua



30 First Meeting as Jun Hua

Nanglong Keita's face turned pale when he heard that voice. The little boy turned his head around and grinned. "Nothing, Big Brother Soujin."

Soujin glared at the boy before turning his gaze towards the girl in front of him. He had seen her once before, at the emperor's birthday party. At that time, he didn't pay any attention to her, but he still recognized her easily.

Looking at that pair of clear eyes, Soujin remembered Jun Min, which he felt was impossible because both of them didn't have any blood relations. There should be no way they could have similar features. But looking at this girl from a close distance made him aware that they almost resemble one another.

"Jun Hua, right? What are you doing here?" Soujin asked calmly.

Jun Hua fought the urge to run as far away as possible from this man's probing eyes. She found his question to be a bit strange. Why did she need any reason to be here? After all, this was part of the academy and not his property.

"I'm spending my break time to walk around the academy," Jun Hua answered with soft voice. She wanted to leave immediately, but she needed a good reason for that.

Nanglong Keita raised his head. "Your voice is prettier if you speak in such a soft tone. Why–"

Nanglong Soujin hit the boy's head. "Watch your mouth, Keita."

Jun Hua was unable to bear to stay here any longer. "Keita, since your cousin has arrived, I will head back first. Please excuse me, General Soujin."

Nanglong Soujin didn't bother with Jun Hua as his intention to come here was to find his cousin. However, Keita did not intend to let Jun Hua go so quickly.

"Sister Hua, can I visit you to play?"

Jun Hua's steps stopped for a while, and hesitated. "Keita, you have your own brother to play with. Besides, you still have your own training."

"Oh, fine then," Nanglong Keita waved his hand reluctantly as Jun Hua disappeared from his vision.

"Little brat, why are you telling her your story?"

Nanglong Keita grinned. "She's pretty."

"That's good. Then your training will increase from tomorrow."

"You're really a devil! Father told me that my workload is already a lot." Nanglong Keita complained loudly.

Jun Hua ignored the two as they conversed, then she walked away. Her heart was still filled with worry and uneasiness. Had Soujin noticed anything amiss from her? She only spoke a few sentences to him, so it shouldn't be suspicious enough, right? Jun Hua stopped beside a window, having caught her reflection from the glass.

"Oh, no, I completely forgot…!"

Jun Hua had just remembered that their faces were quite alike. She made her face mask similar since she didn't want the trouble to change her features drastically because it would take too much of her time. The flipside was Jun Hua's and Jun Min's faces became very similar.

People only knew that Jun Min was an adopted son, without any connection to the Jun family. The two of them should have very different features, but Jun Hua carelessly made them too similar. If one did not pay close attention, they wouldn't have noticed. Unfortunately, the one who saw her face was Nanglong Soujin who was highly proficient in martial arts. He must have been suspicious that their faces resembled one another.

Jun Hua sighed. There seemed to be no way she could change her face so quickly again. She could only hope that Nanglong Soujin would not confront the matter to her about it when they'd meet again.

After thinking about it for a while, she decided to return to their class. Fan Lanying arrived there earlier and her anxiety turned to relief when she saw Jun Hua.

"Where did you go? I was worried when I could not find you. I thought those girls must have done something to you."

Jun Hua smiled bitterly. They wouldn't do anything to her because all they wanted was to fawn after her. Jun Hua hoped that they would give up early but considering they were going to see Jun Min again, she realized that they won't stop so easily.

"I just got lost on my way here. I haven't memorized the area around school," Jun Hua gave her an excuse.

"Oh right, this is only your second week. Don't worry, you will soon get used to the school. There aren't many ways you can pass with."

"Thank you."

Jun Hua and Fan Lanying continued their lessons in peace. The girls were no longer trying to get close with Jun Hua during their lessons. At home after school, Lin San would come and help her practice embroidery.

During their home lessons, Lin San would often inquire about Jun Min and Jun Hua would merely give her some vague answers. At the moment, she very much wished for some peace and quiet as she did not have any time for herself.

Luckily, the trend soon died down and most of the girls no longer tried to get close with Jun Hua. Only a handful of them were still persistently trying to get close to her, including her two half-sisters at the residence. When it was finally Thursday, Yamin returned to her place.

Jun Hua was staying at her room practicing embroidery. The training she got these few days proved to be useful and she could already make embroideries better than before. She only stopped when she noticed that Yamin had arrived.

"You can show yourself now, Yamin. Is there any news?" Jun Hua raised her head.

Yamin nodded. "There are some disturbances on the border, and your uncle asked us to keep on staying there until the situation is under control."

Jun Hua knew that there was no way her uncle would ask for her to go. So he only asked for them. Jun Hua would need to comply but only after she finished some of her plans here.

"For tomorrow, you continue disguising yourself as me."

"Yes Miss."
