Chapter 14 - Cluck Cluck Duck Duck

Mei Qian stopped infront of the desk, Mo Ran and Ren Zhenting were sitting on. Cheng Hao slowly hide behind Ren Zhenting seeing her.

Mei Qian observed Mo Ran from head to toe.

"Hmm. Pretty good." She murmered popping out her lollipop.

"Huh!? What did you say?" Cheng Han thought he heard something wrong.

"I said she is quite appealing. Zhenting, she needs to go through me first before you." Mei Qian pulled the students sitting infront of their desk before sitting down there and peeking deeply at Mo Ran.

"Don't joke around. You will scare her." Huan Shi finally put down his book and walked towards Mei Qian and started to fix her hair, shirt collar before taking her backpack from her.

Unexpected to everyone, Mo Ran was rather calm. It was like everything happening around her had nothing to do with her. She only took a glance at Mei Qian once before shifting her focus on her phone back again. She didn't want to lose otherwise she won't be satisfied until she wins and that might take a whole day or one night or five minutes, she herself wasn't sure.

Mei Qian was speechless like everyone else. This is the first time someone didn't react to her. She was rumored to be known as a school bully and with her appearance, she completely convinced others. But only she herself and her gang knew the reality.

"Hahaha.... Mei Qian, you were ignored for the first time. I told you she's different." Sheng Chen finally joined the hype.

Mei Qian threw a shot at Sheng Chen.

"Don't make trouble as soon as you arrive." Sheng Chen patted Mei Qian's shoulder.

"So you all made a new friend when I wasn't here!?" She scoffed, glancing at the people surrounding the desk.

Sheng Chen, Huan Shi, Cheng Han, Ren Zhenting and Mei Qian were sworn friends. Their friendship was notorious in the whole school as well as in their circle.

"It's only me who is friends with her. Someone left me behind to go to her Europe trip for more than one month and dares to question me as soon as she comes back. Huh!" Sheng Chen scorned at Mei Qian.

"You!!!!! I did ask you to come with me. It was you who rejected..." Mei Qian stood up and bounced upon Sheng Chen which started their fight.

Cheng Han and Huan Shi tried to separate them while Ren Zhenting pulled up his poker face seeing their fight. It's not like they were fighting for the first time. He just couldn't understand why they were fighting when they will just be inseparable after a few minutes. He sometimes wonders how he became friends with these childish girls. The other student didn't have the guts to get in between them and focused back on what they were doing.

'KO!'

The girls who were fighting and the ones who were stopping them and everyone present in the class stopped their movements as they looked at where the loud sound came from.

Putting down her phone, Yan Shu lifted her face and saw the mess infront of her.

"Continue, please." Yan Shu waved her hand indifferently seeing the gazes at her.

Everyone gaped at her but before someone can say something, the bell rang and the teacher entered the class. Mei Qian, Sheng Chen, Huan Shi and Cheng Han were given Detention.

"Teacher, Ren Zhenting was involved too." Cheng Han sputtered.

"Ren Zhenting too." The teacher said before dismissing them to go back to their seat and starting the class.

Ren Zhenting sighed. He had seen it coming.

....

The hectic school ended. Yan Shu had already texted Ling Mo saying he didn't need to come pick her up today.

Yan Shu took the back alley of the school and putting her headphones on she started to walk.

After 5 minutes of walk she finally stopped infront of a small restaurant. It was a backward area still undeveloped which was quite rare in the Capital. Hence, not many people were in the area.

In the restaurant entrance door, there was a board calligraphed with "Cluck Cluck Duck Duck" in big letters and "eat at your fullest" in slightly small letters than the previous beneath it.

Yan Shu entered the place. It was empty as expected. The reason was obvious. The area, still being undeveloped was also explainable.

"May I help you?" Seeing a girl in school uniform entering the place startled the man in the counter. He didn't expect to see her here.

"Morgan,it's me." Yan Shu clumsily answered scratching her neck.

"Ash?" Morgan's eye widened as he gaped. Yesterday there was an uproar in Magusloop.

They were informed that their no.1 was back and she will be coming to pick up her parcel here today. They all were shocked cause they all have seen the news of her being hospitalized. They asked their Master how it was possible but only to be kept in suspense by him.

"You'll know tomorrow. Just don't faint when you all see her later." Was all he said.

Hearing Morgan calling out the name, the people waiting in another room behind the counter all came out at once together and had the expression same as him. Some even stumbled while some teared up.

"Yeah. It's Ash. Long time no see, loops." Yan Shu had expected this hence she just pulled out a chair from nearby and sat down calmly giving them time to adjust.

"How did it happen?" Demi was the first one to get back to her senses. She sat beside Yan Shu anticipating to know the story.

"It might be unbelievable but it's probably my soul-shifted. I am still not sure of the specific." She nonchalantly said.

"Wow, you are lucky to be young." Demi was 28 years old and the only girl in the group beside Yan Shu. She was envious of Yan Shu's new appearance.

Yan Shu was speechless.

The others then took their seats one by one. Morgan served them their usual dishes and drinks before taking a seat.

"Wait. Ash can't drink right? She's still underage." Ben exclaimed seeing the drinks.

Yan Shu rolled her eyes at him. Everyone broke out in laughter.

'Okay,okay. I will just tolerate for today.' She consoled herself.

"Where's the thing?" She directly jumped to the point that she came here for.

"I almost forgot. Wait." Morgan gestured for Cole to bring out the thing.

Cole brought quite a big box covered in gift paper.

Yan Shu didn't expect to be speechless time and time again today. These people and their methods of doing things are still as weird as before.

She removed the gift paper hurriedly and cut open the box. There was another little box in it along with an envelope. She opened the little box and saw the ultra-slim phone. The phone was in gloss black colour, probably the new phone developed by Magus she guessed it. She couldn't take her laptop out with her nor can she take the USB drive with her. It's really been a long time since Dark Magus has developed a highly-modified phone for him and his students to communicate. If he had deleted the website, Yan Shu probably would never have been able to communicate. She was fortunate enough or maybe her master was waiting for her to return.

she opened the envelope and took out the information of the two people.

"Since, technology was not much developed back then in the past, it's hard to trace their lives when they were kids." Morgan sighed before continuing, " Thankfully our master is so capable that he found a picture of Bai Yan and his family."

Yan Shu saw a photo attached behind Bai Yan's page.. She took a closer look at it before she was taken aback in disbelief.
