Just after a while, Ethan and Aiden joined the line in front of her. She gladly gave way for them.
But all of a sudden a redhead also cut the line and stood in front of her.
He glanced back at her with a condescending look. âmove back. Why are you sticking so close?â
âHuh? Buddy, you were the one who cut the lines. Feng calm yourself, this is a literal ten-year-old....â taking a deep breath she calmly smiled at him. âthe line starts there. I think thatâs where you should stand as well...â she pointed to the end of the line.
Claudius glanced back and nodded. âoh I see..â he stood right there unmoving.
âI donât think you understood. The line begins there. no cutting of lines allowed,â
âThese two cut the line,â he pointed at Ethan and Aiden.
.....
The twins glanced back right then with a matching glare in their green and blue eyes. âwe are kids,â
âSo am I, why canât I stand here?â he tilted his head like an innocent puppy.
Gritting her teeth, Feng just let it go. âFine, itâs just a spot in a line. Letâs not be cheap and give the kid a spot.â
Elle glanced back and hurriedly stood in front of her. âWhy are you bullying my Meimei? Donât you have decency? You should treat women with respect,â
âElle, itâs okay,â Feng pulled her back and hugged her softly. âhe is a kid. So itâs okay to stand there.â
âWho said Iâm a kid. Iâm ten and Iâm a man.ââ Claudius glared at her.
âOkay boy didnât you just claim to be a kid?! What do you want? You want to cause a problem?â Feng lost the patience she carefully held. âMan? Where? All I see is a short kid.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Claudius was shorter than her by a head. Even the twins were taller than him.
âYou.. you!! Iâm tall. You are the one who looks like a dusting stick! Who likes tall women? No one! I especially hate them!â
âThank god, I thought you might like me. I donât particularly enjoy being adored by a brat either.â She shot back with a smile still on her face.
Looking at his enraged pink face really brought a sadistic pleasure in her heart. âMaybe I am a sadist.. ahh why is it so awesome bullying young kids.... they are super cute when they are angry.â
Claudius looked like he was shot in the leg. He glanced away, refusing to even take a look back.
As the lien progressed, he remained silent.
Feng was thankful for this new change. âI have to remember all the things Iâve learned. Ahh my mind is foggy. Maybe I should have gotten a small cheat sheet....â she contemplated what to do as they got closer to the small table set up by the gate.
Three middle-aged men and a older looking woman sat there in their booth taking the childrenâs information. After filling the forms the kids were made to touch a small red crystal.
âElle, what is that crystal?â
Before she could reply, Claudius glanced back with a scoff. âcountry bumpkin, the school uses it to analyze your bone age,â
âah, so it will be revealed to the whole world. You are a kid after all. What a wonderful sight it would be,â
Claudius bit his lips and turned back.
Elle silently giggled. âhe is silly.â She whispered.
âI know, I donât like silly kids,â
Claudius looked back with a slight glare. âI donât like tall girls either,â
âEveryone is tall to you,â Elle said with a small frown. âStop talking to us. We donât like you.â
Claudius just hmped and tapped on Aidenâs shoulders. âGirls are annoying..â
Aiden just frowned. âFeng is not annoying you are. You are ten, right? Act your age.â
âAh, how old are you then? Arenât you the same age?â he goaded him.
Ethan, who was listening silently, glanced at him. âAiden donât indulge him,â
The line moved up, and it was the twinâs turn to test.
Ethan first sat down, filling the form.
Feng peered down at him. He noticed him writing only his own name not his family name. She frowned. âIsnât he going to write his family name?â
As if understanding her thought, Aiden glanced back and explained. âWe are going to hide our identity. The duke and duchess agreed with that,â
âWhy?â she was genuinely confused. The kids were always against using the family name.
âSimply,â Aiden shrugged.
Ethan finished his form and handed it to the kind older lady. âYoung one, touch this crystal with both your hands, let your plans lay flat on it, okay?â
Ethan nodded and touched the small red crystal. It lit up, exposing a number 6 inside.
âsix? Such great potential,â the lady gently caressed Ethanâs head.
He simply nodded and gave way for Aiden.
âyou... you both are six?! H-how... how are you...â Claudius stammered in shock.
Aiden just smiled at him dazzlingly. âunlike an old ten-year-old man, we are six years old kids...â
He too touched the crystal. The old lady passed them both and handed the form. âwhy donât you boys go in for the next test?â
âno, weâll wait for the others,â Ethan and Aiden waited for them.
Claudius took the test and passed it.
âElle, is there an age restriction?â she curiously whispered.
âHmm, only those below thirteen can admit here,â she whispered back. soon her turn came she ran there and fill the form slowly.
Feng stood there with a small frown. âWait... what if the crystal can calculate my mental age?! Iâm more than thirty-five! I.. I wonât pass the test! Ahh, what to do!!!!â
