25. Resist With Your Most Proud Attitude
Soon it was noon, and Mei took out today's lunch box from her bag.
Faced with everyone's cold reception, she seemed to want to make one last attempt.
"Um...would you like to have lunch together? I made today's lunchbox myself..."
Mei tried hard to put on her usual friendly smile, but the people who were invited avoided her like the plague.
Because having anything to do with Mei is basically equivalent to social death.
At least no one will look down on you in Chiba Academy.
"Who wants to eat with the daughter of a criminal?"
"Because there's no housekeeper to make it for you, so you do it yourself, right?"
There was sharp sarcasm and undisguised contempt in their words.
"No! Dad is not a criminal!"
Mei tried weakly to defend Raiden Ryoma, but to no avail.
Seeing Raiden Mei's shaking shoulders, the smiles on their faces grew even wider.
It seemed as if, at this moment, they were superior to Raiden Mei and stepped on her.
"Mei! You are not allowed to bully Mei!" Kiana opened her hands and stood in front of Mei.
"Squat Leader Mei, didn't we agree yesterday that you would let me try the lunch you made yourself?"
Yun Ling also walked over, ignoring the two supporting roles behind him.
"Whispering sound!"
Seeing the two people standing in front of Mei, they left in frustration.
"...Well, Kiana, Yun Ling, let's have lunch together!"
There seemed to be tears flashing in Raiden Mei's eyes, but she still suppressed the throbbing in her heart.
The three of them came to the rooftop and covered the ground with a small tablecloth.
The rooftop of Chiba Academy is open and has a great view, so many people choose to eat here.
There was still a hint of vigilance in Kiana's eyes when she looked at Yun Ling, but it was so subtle that Yun Ling didn't notice it.
"I didn't expect Mei's cooking skills to be so good. I'm a bit surprised."
Yun Ling tasted it and commented.
Should I say she's worthy of being the designated cook for Honkai Impact 3rd? This tastes really good.
"As long as you like it." Mei smiled gently.
"By the way, Kiana, you should try it too," Mei said to Kiana beside her.
She noticed that Kiana mostly ate simple bread at noon, and she rarely saw her bring her own lunch.
"Thank you, Mei!" Kiana's eyes lit up, and she wasn't polite.
Soon, a simple lunch was over.
"Mei, you don't have to care too much about what those people think. They are just jealous of your past background and are now seeking revenge."
Kiana comforted Mei. She now had a general understanding of the situation in the class, and at the same time, she looked down on those people from the bottom of her heart.
"It's okay, just bear with it and it will pass..."
Mei looked a little depressed, and she had not yet recovered from the huge blow.
But Yun Ling scoffed at this and said indignantly, "Squat Leader Mei, blindly tolerating them will only make them more reckless. What you need to do now is to be even more assertive, even more assertive than the previous 'Queen of Thunder'!"
"Fighting violence with violence may be a terrible approach, but it's definitely the fastest way to achieve results."
At this point, Kiana nodded noncommittally. For her, who didn't like to think, it would be best to solve the problem with her fists.
Fists are one of the best ways to communicate.
Mei was silent. Perhaps she was not ready to break up with everyone. At least she couldn't bring herself to do it to her former "friends".
Seeing this, Yun Ling thought for a moment and came up with an idea.
"Squat Leader Mei, how about we make a bet?"
"Bet?" Kiana and Mei looked at Yun Ling at the same time.
"That's right, let's bet on whether Mei's desk will become like it was this morning while we're here to eat."
"It should...not be," said Mei, still holding on to the last bit of fantasy in her heart.
They have only been up here for less than half an hour, and they could go down at any time. Have they become so rampant?
"Come on, make a bet. The bet is, if I win, Mei, you will start to rebel against them with the most arrogant attitude!"
"What if you lose?" Kiana asked.
"Well...you come up with the conditions. Squad Leader Mei, how about it?"
"...okay, I bet."
In this way, the three of them washed their lunch boxes leisurely. Then, they walked towards the classroom.
Mei's heart began to beat uncontrollably.
However, the reality is cruel. Only half an hour after leaving, Mei's desk was sprayed with all kinds of obscene words again.
Mei watched the scene in front of her silently, and the last bit of hope in her heart disappeared.
Kiana looked around angrily, but everyone around just looked at the three of them jokingly and seemed satisfied with Mei's reaction.
Yun Ling sniffed the remaining scent in the air and finally locked onto someone's desk.
He walked up and poured out everything on the person's table.
"Hey, what do you want to do!?"
At this time, the owner of the seat came over. She was a hot girl with heavy makeup.
She came up and grabbed Yun Ling's hand, trying to make him put down the desk that belonged to her.
But Yun Ling's body has been strengthened. Although he is not as strong as those Valkyries, he is definitely above the limit of ordinary people. How can the hot girl stop him?
All the items on the table fell out, including a large amount of cosmetics, a few signing pens, and graffiti spray.
This pen has a strong smell, and combined with the strong scent of perfume lingering next to Mei's seat, it can be basically concluded that it was this hot girl who did it.
"Of course, you should keep your own paintings for your own enjoyment, right?"
"You bastard..." The hot girl walked up to Yun Ling angrily and grabbed his cheeks and hair.
Yun Ling simply placed the table horizontally in front of her, and her face hit the table.
Blood was flowing from his nose, and his face was distorted, looking extremely embarrassed.
At this time, a few more hot girls came over and wanted to surround Yun Ling.
But suddenly they slipped and fell to the ground together, knocking over a lot of desks around them.
Seeing this funny scene, Mei couldn't help but laugh.
"How can you be so careless?" Yun Ling sneered with glee, then walked away with the clean table.
After Yun Ling took out Meiyi's things from that table, he mixed the desk, which had been painted beyond recognition, with the other desks.
At this moment, the bell for class rang and everyone hurried back to their seats.
The hot girl's desk was taken away, leaving only the desk she had painted...
"Why is it such a mess? Clean it up quickly."
The teacher above frowned. It was obvious that she had discovered something, but she still pretended not to see it and just urged the hot girl to clean up quickly.
The hot girl gave Yun Ling a resentful look, but met his sunny smile.
It was as if he were mocking her.
