10. The five idiots

The five of them knew eachother for almost a decade. After Li Zhilan moved to country X (The most well developed country with people from all over the world) when she was seven, she met those few idiots as her neighbors.

The four of them slowly craved their way into her heart and has been with her ever since. The few of them grew so close that no one could separate them any longer. Even though they were all from different countries with different customs, the way they clicked together was like no other. They learned the language and custom of each other's countries so well that they could be considered as part of the nation if one didn't know well.

"Oleander! How's school? Do you like it?"

"Did you make friends? "

"Is the environment good?"

"Is someone bullying you?" The four of them threw her questions at her one after another without leaving Li Zhilan time to answer until she burst out.

"Damn guys. Calm down. Atleast let me answer. First of all, Ash don't call me that." Li Zhilan warned Ashton and then continued, "The school is good and I quite like it. I did make friends, four of them actually. The environment can be said to be excellent if you mean it literally but if you are talking about the people here, I don't know yet. As for bullying, do you think I will allow myself to be bullied without retaliating? Now tell me about yourselves. Are you all okay? Any problem? How's the food?"

"Look at her? Shouting at us to stop asking and then starts herself." Lucas said making everyone laugh. Li Zhilan rubbed the top of her nose with her index finger sheepishly.

"DON'T RUB YOU NOSE" The four of them said at the same time and all five of them laughed out.

"I'm fine out here. Just like always. There isn't anything to do. Just tour the school and see what's new. There is no problem and the food's great too. Will bring back some delicacies." Xavier said, followed by the rest.

"It's the same with me"

"Me too"

"Me three"

All five of them had been selected as part of those 7 students who got to visit other schools for 3 months. They would later be joined by another student and a teacher from their school after 2 months.

The first group were tasked to observe the environment as well the learning system of the respective schools they were sent to. They were meant to be like an observer without alerting anyone so that the result the get will mostly be accurate.

While they were talking, Li Zhilan felt something cold poured on her.

Shocked, she glanced up only to find Qi Longwei smirking at her, holding a cup which was now empty. Luckily Li Zhilan was wearing a black hood so the stains were not visible otherwise it would have made quite a scenario.

"Zhilan! What happened? Zhilan? Zhi-"

"I'm okay. Will call you once I reach home, okay?" Li Zhilan said to comfort her worried friends and then hung up the call. Staring straight at Qi Longwei, she picked the cup of juice on the table and splashed it all on Qi Longwei.
