"So I really was discriminated against after all."
In the room, Wang Chengbo and Mu Yunji looked at each other. They could both see the bitter smiles in each other's eyes.
Their master had said that he had sacrificed a great deal of face and called in favors to get them admitted. They knew that people who entered through the back door would not be well received. They just had not expected to be this unwelcome—not even to be given separate rooms.
Wang Chengbo was speechless too. His first time sharing a room with Mu Yunji had actually happened under these circumstances. For a moment, he did not know whether to laugh or cry.
"Ahem." Mu Yunji coughed lightly. "The academies will enter through four city gates tomorrow, and the teams we encounter will be random. I think we should go over the intelligence on all the academies and think about how to respond if we run into them."
"Uh..." Wang Chengbo scratched his head and smiled bitterly. "Why do I feel like tomorrow's draw has nothing to do with us?"
Mu Yunji was taken aback. "It doesn't?"
"Why wouldn't it?" Wang Chengbo sighed and pointed at the place where they were sitting. "Look, before you came, did you expect us to have only one room? And not even a double bed?"
Mu Yunji smiled faintly. "Isn't this giving you an opportunity?"
Wang Chengbo: ""
Was that a hint?
No, that was practically an outright statement, wasn't it?
Come on, Cheng Bo. If you don't make a move even now, you're not a man!!
"So, are you sleeping on the bed or on the floor later?"
Wang Chengbo: "The floor."
Forget it. I'm a lifelong virgin anyway. A man without sex doesn't count as a man. I'm an old boy.
