What Remains Unseen is Deemed to be Clean

TL: 妖女 – beautiful woman
Undeniably, it is Basa Li observing her, slightly squinting, and examining herself. Her complexion still doesn’t improve. Meng Xiaonan bites her lip, and nod respectfully at Basa Li. However, Basa Li arrogantly moves her gaze away.
Although Meng Xiaonan is usually slow and short-circuited, she is rather sharp in urgent scenarios like this. In a matter of seconds, the pair of cute, single-lid eyes senses there’s something between Basa Li and An Chuxia that she’s not aware of.
The only thing she is certain of is that this Basa Li is not something special! It is a loss now that she once thought of her of being breathtaking at first sight. At that time, she was
bonehead for being bewitched by that beautiful woman*.
“Jiangnan student?” The headmaster breaks her out of her daze.
Meng Xiaonan hastily nods to the headmaster. “Alright, headmaster. I will immediately go to the office. How about you go ahead? I need to settle some matters and will come quickly.”
“Do you know where to go?” The headmaster raises an eyebrow. “Don’t get lost when you’re getting there. There are several instances of new students at Stein Royal College getting lost, and today’s a crucial day since it’s the national exam. I don’t want to have any mishaps.”
In fact, what the headmaster just said is reasonable. The uneasiness still remains, no matter how she listens to the advice. She cursorily replies, “I know the directions… if I don’t know something, I can just ask someone who
who knows the way to take me there.”
The headmaster doesn’t say anymore after listening to her, and turns to walk away. However, after a few steps, he abruptly pauses, turns, and indicates to Basa Li who is standing at the entrance. “Then hurry up, I will let Basa Li accompany you. Perhaps, both of you can take a walk around Stein’s campus. However, during the duration of the national exam, you cannot come near the school building.”
Nodding slightly, the headmaster finally sets his mind at ease and says to Basa Li before leaving, “Then I must trouble you. Since I already gave you a tour around the school, it is improbable that you should feel lost?”
Basa Li sweetly smiles and replies in her rigid Chinese. “Yes, please go ahead and attend the education
the education meeting without worry.”
After sending the headmaster away, Basa Li turns to Meng Xiaonan, “Classmate, then hurry up, I will be waiting for you outside.” The latter watches her finish and steps to the side, her figure disappearing. Suppressing a pit full of anger, she swears to not keep staring. There is an old Chinese saying: ‘What remains unseen is deemed to be clean!’ In this midst, she notices An Chuxia.
Meng Xiao approaches An Chuxia, leans in to her ear and whispers, “Boss, don’t you like Basa Li?”
An Chuxia’s back stiffens, standing up straighter, her mouth sets in attractive contempt. “She, ah… to precisely say, she is my benefactor, who enabled me to finally leave the Han house, and move to the Ling house. Even though I don’t exactly like her, i don’t her, i don’t find her loathsome either.”
After all, Basa Li, indeed has slightly played a part in assisting her to leave the Han house, despite… the single trace of reluctance in her heart.
“Leave the house?” Meng Xiaonan’s eyes widen. “When did you move houses? Why did you need to move? Is that foreign thing standing at the entrance the reason?”
(TL: That’s sound wrong to called someone a thing (the actual translation is goods), but I guess you should consider this a secret talk.)
An Chuxia cannot help but chuckle at Meng Xiaonan’s three characters, “foreign thing”, before answering, “I don’t want to hide this, but she’s Han Qilu’s real fiancée. You, probably already know this? Anyway, when I sit for the national exam, you absolutely cannot create any conflict with her. Don’t cause any trouble for me, understand?”
