Project: Mage - The Frugal Mage 24 Xiao Chun

"Xiao Mei, is this where you've been spending the last three days?" A handsome-looking young man said, he was in front of the group. He looked at Xiao Mei and spoke with an arrogant one. After speaking, he looked at Liu Xia, but the moment he looked at her, he froze at the spot as he had never seen a girl as beautiful as her in his life.

Hearing the young man's voice, Xiao Mei was displeased but pretended not to listen and did not pay attention.

"Xiao Mei, aren't you going to introduce your friends?" The young man didn't care that Xiao Mei ignored him, the young man was focused on Liu Xia, she was eating gracefully and elegantly. The young man knew Liu Xia, he had already seen some of her photos, but seeing in person was different.

As he heard stories about Liu Xia, the young man also heard rumors about her having a lover and was already engaged to him. When he looked at the person next to Liu Xia, a cold look appeared in his eyes, he saw Liu Yang. Immediately, jealousy and envy began to rise in his heart.

"Xiao Chun, what do you want?" Xiao Mei didn't like the way the young man looked at Liu Xia, he didn't care about Liu Yang, because he was just class F rubbish in the young man's eyes.

The young man's name was Xiao Chun, he was Xiao Mei's cousin, Xiao Mei's mother and Xiao Chun's father were siblings. So they are cousins.

"Xiao Mei, I was wondering where you were eating, since you stopped eating with us. If you are eating with your friends, you should inform us at least. Besides, can you introduce us to your friends? "Xiao Chun didn't need the introductions, he already knew the couple from the rumors.

"Liu Yang, Liu Xia, his name is Xiao Chun and he's in class 3A, he's my cousin. Xiao Chun, they are both my friends, Liu Yang, and Liu Xia. "Xiao Mei gave a casual and cursory introduction. When those words were spoken, an arrogant look appeared on Xiao Chun's face, like someone coming from the Xiao clan and also because he was a third-year and class A student.

But contrary to their expectations, Liu Xia and Liu Yang continued eating as if nothing had happened, both completely ignoring Xiao Chun and his group. Xiao Mei knew this was going to happen, and wanted to laugh, but she restrained herself from embarrassing Xiao Chun even more.

"Xiao Mei, your friends aren't very polite, they didn't even say anything after you introduced them. I wouldn't expect this from an exemplary class 1A student, but class F rubbish is something expected. "Xiao Chun was annoyed by this couple's disrespectful attitude, but he didn't show it on his face. He showed a fake smile and made his comment.

The couple did not speak after this comment, but in their minds, they have already marked Xiao Chun and his group as people not to get involved, as they were not worth it.

(They weren't polite because you don't deserve them to be polite. Look at you and your disgusting look, at least hide it) Xiao Mei cursed internally, she knew the couple would only be respectful to those who show respect to them, otherwise, they will treat the same way they were treated.

"Xiao Chun, is there anything you need? Otherwise, I'll keep eating "Xiao Mei said displeasedly, she was annoyed by Xiao Chun's lack of education.

"Nothing, I just came to see what you were doing and understand why you stopped eating with us, but I think I already understood" Xiao Chun spoke casually, but internally he was very angry with Xiao Mei because she knew Liu Xia and was eating with her. But Xiao Mei did not comment on this subject with him, as he would not be annoyed.

"Big sister, we finished eating. Where are you going next? "Liu Xia asked, the two of them already finished eating lunch.

"I think I'll train in my room later, I need to improve a little today. And you? "Xiao Mei didn't want to show her embarrassing side again to the couple, she wanted to train even more to improve her control of magical power.

"We are both going to study a little at the library, there are some books I want to read"

"I see… Alright, come on, I'm done eating too" The trio got up and started to leave the cafeteria, Xiao Chun's group stood in place as if they didn't even exist, the trio ignored them completely.

Xiao Chun's face was completely ugly and dark, he was never so humiliated in his life, and on top of that, it was in front of his followers. Xiao Chun could not discount his anger on Xiao Mei since they were from the same family. He couldn't discount Liu Xia either since she was the brightest and strongest freshman of the year, so there was only Liu Yang left. Xiao Chun directed his resentment and hatred towards Liu Yang.

"I want you to watch that garbage named Liu Yang and report back to me where he will be and what he is doing." Xiao Chun ordered with a heavy voice, he would make Liu Yang suffer because of this humiliation.

"Yes," Some young people in the group left while some stayed behind Xiao Chun.

"Let's get out of here." The group walked toward the cafeteria.

…

The library was as quiet a place as ever, but Liu Xia's arrival changed everything, many first graders from the first three classes were trying to talk to her, but it was a pity she refused them down and dragged Liu Yang to the bookshelves. This made these students frustrated and angry because Liu Xia was always refusing to talk to them and preferring to stay with Liu Yang.

Liu Yang and Liu Xia went to the book session for the advanced mage, for what they were looking for did not have in the books for beginning or intermediate mages. The other students were curious to know why they went to that session.

Liu Xia had her cell phone in her hand and was looking for the books she had reserved at the time of the class.

"Honey, what kind of books are we going to read?" Liu Yang was curious to know about it, Liu Xia had only said that they would read books about a foundation's mages.

"We will read some books to improve our meditation techniques and the use of our magic. I have booked a total of five books, they will be a good reference for us. "

The couple walked around the library for a few minutes until they had finished finding the reserved books. The books were in virtual stands, the student had to use a code received by the school system and use to receive the book on the shelves. This was to prevent theft, and the employees didn't have to go get the reserved books.

"Let's go to the study, I've already booked one for both of us." Liu Xia led the way, she looked like the leader while Liu Yang would be her loyal follower. Liu Yang was carrying the weight of the books while Liu Xia walked slowly side by side with Liu Yang.

The library study rooms were at the end of the corridors, where there were hundreds of rooms for students to use for study, the classrooms were three different sizes, for one person, for three, and five. Liu Xia has reserved one of the rooms for three people.

To open the door it was necessary to do the same thing as before, use the reservation code to open the door.

The interior of the room was small at four square meters and had only one round table with three chairs around it, each chair had a small computer connected.

"Let's get started," Liu Xia said after sitting down, Liu Yang sat next to her.

At first, Liu Xia wanted to sit on Liu Yang's lap, but because of the security camera to watch the room, she couldn't do that. The couple wanted to hug and kiss a little, but that was impossible and could only do at home.
