"She’s mixed," Shi i said, her head lowered as she took a bite of rice, "Her eye color is beautiful."
Dongfang Xuanya was obviously very pleased with herself, "Yes, many people are saying so. They like because of my eyes, my nose, and my lips."
Shi i grinned, "What about your eyebrows?"
"They think my eyebrows are too thin," Dongfang Xuanya said helplessly, "I just have to draw them thicker when I do my makeup."
"You don’t need to," said a girl sitting down next to Dongfang Xuanya with a tray of food, "In the aesthetic standards of our people, you are very beautiful right now, a true beauty," she happily looked towards Shi i, "You are the new student of this batch, right? I heard them say your na is Shi i?"
Shi i looked up at her, confird she didn’t know her, probably a senior, and nodded.
The girl seed very surprised and scrutinized Shi i, "So it’s you, huh, who displaced Tu Min and beca the exception for the new student admission!"
Her voice was a bit loud, and many people around looked over.
For a mont, Shi i felt surrounded by gazes.
"Her looks are okay, but not too stunning, how did she displace Tu Min?"
"So people just have that kind of ability, what can you do?!"
"To displace Tu Min, she must have so skill, right?"
Hearing these words, Shi i frowned, "What do you an? Who is Tu Min?"
The girl across blinked, "Don’t you know Tu Min? During your audition, wasn’t there a girl who danced with you for the competition? That’s Tu Min."
Shi i realized, "Oh, that one, short and skinny, looked like she was malnourished."
The girl stunned for a mont, anger crossing her face, "Watch your mouth!"
"What’s wrong with what I said?" Dongfang Xuanya didn’t understand and seriously asked Shi i, "Is it considered offensive in Xia Country to comnt on soone being malnourished?"
Shi i looked puzzled as well, "I don’t really know, is that a rude remark?"
She threw the question back at the girl across.
The girl, looking embarrassed, didn’t answer and left with her tray.
Dongfang Xuanya felt a bit baffled and asked Shi i, "Was she here to... to provoke?"
"You’re not too dumb."
Dongfang Xuanya was even more perplexed, "There’s a saying in Xia Country, ’A woman’s heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea,’ it seems quite true."
Shi i smiled, "You’ll see more of this in the future, especially in this school, where there are many won, palace intrigue is everywhere."
"What does palace intrigue an?"
"It ans courtly battles."
"What does courtly battles an?"
"It ans open and covert attacks, tit for tat, mutual targeting, being unexpectedly trapped; just be cautious."
"Oh..." Dongfang Xuanya looked impressed, "Your vocabulary is really strong, every word you say is an idiom, I’ve been learning idioms for a long ti and still can’t get them right."
Shi i slightly tugged at the corner of her lips, keenly aware of the increasing number of gazes on her.
Sure enough, the next day Shi i found out she had beco famous.
Only after so inquiries did she learn that this Tu Min was a young star in the world of dance, well-respected in her circle at a young age.
