If you take off their Military Academy student label, they are actually just twelve or thirteen-year-old younglings.
Chloe ignored the others and took Katherine's hand lovingly, leading the way downstairs.
She thought Katherine looked beautiful, especially wearing a light-colored dress like now which made her even more beautiful.
Chloe ran her fingers through Katherine's smooth hair, wearing a creepy smile:
"You look so beautiful, sister. Will you wear dresses again in the future?"
Katherine looked at her helplessly: "We're the same age."
Chloe was not satisfied: "But I like calling you sister."
The beautiful, the pretty, she was her sister.
Katherine had no choice but to indulge her.
When they went downstairs to the dining room, the cook had already prepared many dishes and served them on the table.
Qin's parents said they had to go out for work and wouldn't eat at home for lunch.
Qin Huaibei obediently promised he would behave and not let his parents worry.
After the stretched business car left the courtyard, Qin Huaibei immediately let loose and became excited.
He dashed to the dining table, the chair scraping loudly against the floor. Qin Huaibei sat comfortably, munching on a large chicken drumstick, looking at his friends:
"Sit down, why aren't you sitting?"
Among the five main characters in their group, apart from Katherine and Anderson, Qin Huaibei was the most proper.
No matter how mischievous he was or how much he fooled around with them, Qin Huaibei would never lose his dignity.
This was the first time everyone saw Qin Huaibei in such a...casual and unrestrained manner.
After sitting down, Chloe made a tsk sound and said, "Do your uncle and aunt know this is how you behave when they're gone?"
Qin Huaibei smiled slightly: "Heaven and earth know, you know, I know."
After he said this, everyone fell silent and sat down with a smile.
The daily diet of the Human Race is actually no different from other races.
Daniel: "It would actually be more fun to visit my Werewolf Race, we have insects to eat."
Everyone's forks froze at that moment.
Chloe was almost doubtful of her own ears: "Perhaps you meant other food?"
"I mean insects," Daniel said firmly, "fried and fragrant, crispy when you bite into them, so delicious."
Hearing this, Qin Huaibei could no longer stand it: "What kind of primitive life do you Werewolves live?"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Daniel became angry. "It's all protein, you uncultured folks with no taste and pursuit."
Qin Huaibei: "I'll return those words to you verbatim."
The two started bickering again.
Chloe thought nothing of it and put a slice of steak onto Katherine's plate:
"Sister, eat this."
The meal turned into a chaotic affair because of them.
On Chloe's side, it was peaceful, while on Daniel's side, it was like a world war.
When Uncle Wu came in from outside and saw this scene, he could hardly believe the wild-looking young man was his young master.
Noticing the newcomer, Qin Huaibei immediately restrained his distorted expression and said seriously:
"Uncle Wu."
The butler called Uncle Wu hesitated for a moment before responding.
He handed Qin Huaibei a few tickets:
"These are tickets for the Central Amusement City, I bought them."
Qin Huaibei nodded modestly: "Alright, I know."
He carefully put the tickets away, then waved for Uncle Wu to leave.
Uncle Wu paused and said, "I know it's the first time the young master has brought friends home to play, so being excited is understandable, but don't get... too excited."
After giving a gentle reminder, he left.
After the door closed, Qin Huaibei sat back on the chair with a solemn expression. After a moment of silence, he suddenly covered his face with his hands:
"My dignity!!!"
Chloe covered the lower half of her face to prevent her smile from becoming too unrestrained and upsetting the boy further into breakdown.
Unfortunately, Daniel was foolish and directly pointed at Qin Huaibei, laughing loudly at him.
The two ended up leaving the dining table for a fight.
...
The tickets Uncle Wu had delivered earlier were for the Central Amusement City.
According to Qin Huaibei, it was the place most popular among younglings in the Human Race capital.
Chloe put on a sun hat and looked at the towering entrance, saying:
"So this is just an amusement park?"
Qin Huaibei honestly said, "Yes."
Then he added, "It's an amusement park, but it's the one with the most advanced facilities and the most fun."
To prove his point, Qin Huaibei took them to experience the drop tower ride.
The drop tower was built very tall. Looking up from the ground, you couldn't see the top at all.
Daniel cheered: "Looks exciting."
Qin Huaibei raised his eyebrows: "Of course it's exciting. I cried the first time I rode it at five years old."
Daniel mocked him: "Coward."
"If you think you can handle it, go ahead." Qin Huaibei registered their names with the staff and said, "Let's go try it together."
Chloe sat in her seat and fastened her safety harness.
She looked to the side, grabbed another harness and tightly secured it over Katherine's leg, pinning down her dress.
That way, even if the drop tower plunged down, Katherine wouldn't have to worry about any wardrobe malfunctions.
Realizing this, Katherine paused for a moment before smiling:
"Thank you."
Chloe looked at her: "It's nothing."
Meanwhile, the drop tower began to slowly ascend.
The ride was built so tall that even though the ascent wasn't slow, it still took a long time to reach the top.
Chloe looked down and the only thought in her mind was -
High, very high, extremely high.
High enough that if you fell, you'd shatter every bone in your body.
You couldn't even see the ground, only a few pitiful black dots.
Daniel's throat moved and his voice trembled: "Damn, why is it so high?"
Hearing this, Qin Huaibei glanced at him sideways:
"What, are you scared?"
"How could I be!" Daniel couldn't stand others provoking him, so he immediately retorted shakily, "Me, scared? How could the future Wolf King be afraid of something like this?"
Qin Huaibei scoffed lightly: "We'll see about that."
Compared to him, Chloe was the one who was truly unafraid.
To be honest, this height was still lower than the roof Zavier had carried her to at age five to practice growing wings.
As they bickered, the drop tower let out a roar and then the seats they were on suddenly began plunging down at a rapid speed!
Chloe was surrounded by ear-piercing screams. She wasn't scared by the drop tower itself, but by her companions' screams.
The Daniel who had just been boasting about not being afraid was now probably screaming until his throat was hoarse, the sound utterly heart-wrenching.
Chloe could no longer stand it: "Keep screaming, and I'll stuff a gag in your mouth after we get off!"
Damn, her eardrums were about to burst from the pain.
Daniel cried that he couldn't control it.
At that moment, the rapidly descending drop tower suddenly jerked to a halt, stopping abruptly.
The immense deceleration force shook everyone violently.
Daniel almost choked on his own saliva and began coughing wildly.
Chloe frowned: "Does your drop tower have an intermission break?"
Qin Huaibei's face turned pale:
"What intermission? The drop tower has malfunctioned."
