Notes on the Passive World

Chapter 9

Zongxiang Lisi was born in a prestigious family, and his father was a well-known political figure in Tokyo. Although Huaguo was only transferred to the family in name because of the Golden King, since she had taken on the name of Zongxiang, she had to learn all the etiquette and rules that she needed to learn.

In order to pay attention to the internal members of the family, the Ancestral Rite Department took time out to bring Huaguo back to the Ancestral Clan before she officially entered the school.

Apart from his father and himself who knew the truth, everyone in the family said that Huaguo's body was weak and she went abroad to recuperate when she was young. Her condition had improved recently, so she came back from abroad.

Today, when she returned to the ancestral home, in order to show the importance of this meeting, the Ancestral Hall of Rites had specially found someone to custom-make a kimono for her. It was moon-white, but there were some light pink delicate flowers on the collar.

Her skin was as white as snow, simple and elegant.

Huaguo's appearance was impeccable. Every part of her body was exquisite. Under her long eyelashes were misty green eyes.

They were bright and indifferent.

With just one look, she could make everyone who saw her quiet down.

Without Night Fight by her side, her indifferent, distant, and otherworldly aura suddenly became stronger.

It was as if she would disappear if one wrong look was taken.

Her bearing and actions were very elegant and classical. Other than some minor adjustments, there wasn't much wrong with her.

The other people who were called to the Zong family at the last minute were indifferent, and it was hard to tell what was going on.

They were all cold and polite to this child who had appeared out of nowhere.

But it was enough for them, who had suddenly become part of the Zong family when they met for the first time.

After sending off the people who came to visit today, the head of the Zongxiang family relaxed a little. He came back to his senses and looked at the girl behind him.

"Huaguo, right?"

"Yes."

Actually, she was similar.

She was like the Zongxiang family, who handled things calmly and self-control.

He had thought that she would be a hot potato, but now it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it.

"You're a good child."

"You're too polite."

.....

After meeting the members of the main and branch families, Huaguo officially became a part of the Zongxiang family and moved into the house.

Although it was said that she had moved in, there was actually nothing much.

Most of the things that he had scraped together previously had been given to the Night Fight.

The Zongxiang family had also prepared everything. Everything was perfect. They really treated Huaguo as the young lady of the Zongxiang family.

In the end, Huaguo moved in empty-handed.

Zongxiang Lisi and his father were busy with government affairs and rarely went home.

Her elder brother, on the other hand, had already moved out of the house early because he had organized his own family.

Therefore, in the empty courtyard, other than the housekeeper and the others, there was only Huaguo.

It was a typical Japanese-style courtyard house with an old wooden structure, which unexpectedly had a strong sense of history.

The four-sided cloister and the koi pond in the middle of the courtyard were quiet and comfortable because there was no noise.

Huaguo immediately fell in love with such an environment from the bottom of her heart.

Although the outer courtyard was still simple and Japanese-style, it became a modern room when he moved in.

It was very similar to the place where he stayed yesterday.

They were all pink in color, but perhaps they were concerned about the style of the entire house, so the decorations were not as exaggerated as yesterday's.

Subconsciously, he used his ability to check the interior of the house to see if it was the same as before, where there was a mess of surveillance equipment.

He went back and forth several times to make sure that he did not find anything.

From the bottom of her heart, Huaguo felt that she had been treated as a fourteen-year-old brat. When she sensed that she was the only one left in the room, her expression collapsed. Only then did she let out a long sigh.

He stood still for a long time.

He narrowed his eyes slightly.

No matter what, since this place had become his room, it was naturally considered his personal territory.

Subconsciously, he took out a few talismans from the void and unceremoniously stuck them on the doors, windows, ceiling, floor, and even the attached dressing room and bathroom.

The pale yellow talismans slowly turned transparent as soon as they got close to the objects. In the end, they completely merged with the objects and could no longer be seen.

This was the new "high-grade goods" she had just bought. It was different from the previous one that could only last for a day.

In this way, he would be able to know immediately if there was anything unusual in his room.

He closed his eyes and sensed it.

Everything in the room appeared in his mind.

After making sure that every talisman had worked, he finally let himself go completely.

First, he wandered around the dressing room.

On one side, he could not tell the name of the clothes, but he felt that they were made of good materials. On the other side, there were clothes arranged according to color, just like the kimono that Zongxiang Lisi had put on for her today.

Shoes, small accessories that little girls of this age would like, were scattered all over the place, but they were also arranged in a picturesque manner.

It seemed that Zongxiang's family had put in a lot of effort for her to move in this time.

She soaked comfortably in the hot water with her eyes closed. She felt that the ups and downs of the past few days had broken the rule that she had always adhered to, which was not to have too much contact with humans.

After all, humans were the most elusive creatures in the world and the most difficult creatures to understand.

A lot of things whizzed through her mind. Lying in the bathtub, she was so lazy that she did not even want to move her fingers.

After tiring herself out, soaking in a bath was indeed the most comfortable.

The high temperature of the water made her skin turn light red.

However, the feeling of being scalded unexpectedly made her feel a little drowsy.

Huaguo, who was about to fall asleep in the bathtub, suddenly heard a knock on the door not far away.

The tiredness came back in an instant. She casually picked up the pajamas hanging by the side.

"Who is it?"

"It's me, Miss."

Steward Tanaka was holding a tray with a glass of milk and a large square box.

When he saw Huaguo open the door, he smiled and handed it to her. "Drink a glass of milk before bed. It's good for your sleep, Miss."

"Thank you," Huaguo took the glass of milk and did not intend to let Steward Tanaka in. She immediately closed the door.

Seeing this, Steward Tanaka hurriedly said, "Wait."

"Is there anything else?"

"The Ice Emperor School that Young Master previously asked for has just sent you an admission notice and school uniform. It's right here."

Huaguo looked at the large box. The light gold background and the rose embossment. No matter how she looked at it, it looked like a dress for a banquet, not a school uniform.

But since it was a school chosen by the Ancestral Rite Department, Huaguo still nodded and took the box that looked very gorgeous at first glance.

"Sorry to trouble you."

"No need, no need," Steward Tanaka nodded with a smile. "Then, I wish you good dreams, Miss."

"Thank you, good night."

"Good night."

After closing the door, Huaguo curiously opened the light gold box.

At the top was a notice with a rose pattern. Below it were several sets of school uniforms.

Ice Emperor had its own promotion system. As long as one did not commit any major mistakes, one could be promoted from kindergarten to university.

She did not know what Zongxiang Lisi's criteria for choosing a school was, but looking at the situation today, it should not be too bad, right?

She took a set of test papers at the last minute and said that it was for admission. Suddenly, she had to take the exam.

Although Huaguo did not receive an orthodox education, when she saw Zongxiang Lisi's irrefutable expression, she bit the bullet and took the exam.

The only thing that she could rely on now was the knowledge that she had accumulated over the years.

Moreover, he didn't know if the knowledge of these different worlds could be shared or not.

This was her thought before she opened the test papers.

After he finished reading the papers, he suddenly had a sixty to seventy percent chance of passing the exam.

It was a little time-consuming to finish a set of papers. It took about four hours.

In the end, the expression on Zongxiang Lisi's face when he looked at the answers on the test papers was thought-provoking.

Huaguo was curious, but she suppressed her curiosity and did not ask.

This time, along with the admission notice, the results of her exam were also sent.

Recalling the expression on his face when she saw it last time, Huaguo felt inexplicably uneasy. It should not be too bad, right?

She unfolded the paper a little nervously.

Sure enough …

She did not score more than ten in mathematics, physics, and chemistry.

This score was normal for her. After all, she did not even want to hear about these things, let alone see them.

The moment she received the test papers, she had the urge to hand in a blank paper. In the end, she felt uncomfortable looking at the blank paper and filled in the questions carelessly.

However, for the rest of the subjects, Chinese, history, English, and social studies, she actually scored full marks.

Looking at this obvious gap, Huaguo finally understood why Zongxiang Lisi's expression was so strange at that time.
