24. I won't allow it

''Come closer Tantan.'' Li Zhilan said beckoning Mu Tan to move closer and then whispered, ''It's a secret.''

Everyone who had been holding their breath including a certain seat mate let out a sigh of frustration on being made fun of unintentionally.

When Qi Longwei heard Mu Tan's question, he was also tempted to hear Li Zhilan's answer. Unintentionally, all his muscles tensed as he leaned closer and closer to hear her better with an anxious heart. But her answer made him go back to his original position with a frustrated heart instead.

''Anyway, I would be dressing in such a way that no one would have imagined.''

''Just tell me already. I promise I wouldn't slip up your secret.'' Mu Tan asked Li Zhilan once more and everyone held their breath again for the second time.

''Patience is virtue.'' Li Zhilan said with a nod of her head looking at a super eager Mu Tan but due to her lack of observation, Li Zhilan failed to see that there were many who were mirroring Mu Tan's expression, including her ever arrogant seat partner.

...

That day when Li Zhilan came back home, she found the place in a mess with a lot of people rushing around here and there.

"Muffin." Li Haoran exclaimed as soon as he saw Li Zhilan enter the house. Everything will be ready in a few minutes and then you will be ready to move. I packed all the food and drinks as well as your clothes and-"

''Brotha, chill out. The place arranged by the school is a hotel so there isn't anything to be worried about.''

''What? A hotel? No. Absolutely not. You are not living alone in a hotel for three months. You can go live at grandpa and granny's place but not a hotel. I won't allow it. No way.'' Li Haoran even shook his head strongly to show how opposed he was to the idea.

''Will you listen to me, brotha. It is a hotel but it isn't like those normal ones. The school had connections with a resort and so we have a hole villa to ourselves. And before the others arrive, I'll be alone so there isn't anything to worry about.''

''Okay you can live there for two months but after that you gotta live with our grandparents or you got to rent your own place. I don't want you sharing your space with someone else.''

''Deal. Oh... and by the way, this year Imperial High is conducting a costume party as a welcome event for the freshers. It's going to be so much fun.''

''What are you going to dress as? Let me pre-order for you incase you forget. You can tell me when it is so I can get the dress ready before hand.''

''They always conduct on it on the Friday of the second week after joining school so the party should most probably be next Frida. So so we got a little more than a week. As for the preparations, don't worry. I got it all handled.''
