Chapter 5 Death Compilation

Mingmei breathed a sigh of relief when she learned that the "Death Compilation" wouldn't officially start until after the National Day holiday.

After all, NPCs usually don't die, except for the previous game.

And that death wasn't very dignified.

The Death Compilation shouldn't have anything to do with her.

"Your relieved expression is making me suspicious, Meimei," Lu Xiaoyao said.

Lu Xiaoyao, along with Mingmei, met up with Bai Xiao, Hu Yue, and Wang Wenfei for afternoon tea on the campus lawn. It wasn't easy for these young ladies from different majors to have no afternoon classes at the same time.

So, Lu Xiaoyao naturally told the others about what she had said in the morning. Everyone looked distressed. It was simply forcing them to die!

In escape games, who doesn't struggle before dying?

If you struggle, your expression crumbles;

If you don't struggle, it means you're a noob.

People will laugh no matter how good or bad your death is.

Therefore, Mingmei's calm expression stood out among everyone else.

That's why Lu Xiaoyao said that.

"I'm also nervous, it's just that I have a poker face."

"I think Meimei isn't nervous, but… seems quite happy."

Compared to Lu Xiaoyao, the other three were much more perceptive. They couldn't say they were 100% right about Mingmei's mood, but they could see that Mingmei's mood was the opposite of theirs.

"Hey, alright, I admit I'm in a good mood. It's not really about this. Isn't it almost National Day? It's a holiday, aren't you happy?"

No one is unhappy when it comes to holidays!

Mingmei easily changed the subject.

"I'm happy, I want to go home! My home is so far from the Central Star, it's so troublesome to go back."

After Hu Yue finished speaking, Bai Xiao quickly nodded, "Me too!"

"Everyone's probably going home during the National Day holiday, right?"

Everyone said so, and Mingmei silently took another sip of milk tea. Anyway, she wasn't going home.

She had a date~ For some reason, Mingmei was a little excited (๑˙ー˙๑)

"Meimei, you should go home too, right? I remember your home is Hua Lan Star, right? It's so far from the Central Star, and you have to go through procedures when you come back, don't forget when you go back."

Lu Xiaoyao ate her dessert and looked at Mingmei. The others were surprised when they heard this. "Oh? Mingmei, your home is Hua Lan Star?"

"Um… yes, what's wrong?"

Mingmei remembered that Hua Lan Star's location had a strange relationship with the Empire and the Federation. Seeing their surprised expressions, Mingmei subconsciously tensed up.

Not everyone in this interstellar space likes Hua Lan Star. Even if the Empire has a friendly attitude towards Hua Lan Star and its star field, Hua Lan Star and its subordinate star fields do not belong to the Empire, nor do they belong to the Federation.

"No, it's just that it's the first time we've heard you admit it, so we're a little surprised. Hmm~ But speaking of which, General Mei Qiu is also from Hua Lan Star."

"Oh dear, General Mei Qiu hasn't shown up since his last appearance~ Will General Mei Qiu appear at the National Day parade this time?"

"I heard that General Mei Qiu has left the Imperial Army."

Wang Wenfei suddenly dropped such a bombshell.

"Ah?! No way? General Mei Qiu is so young, and so strong, are you sure about this, is this melon guaranteed to be true?"

Hu Yue and Bai Xiao were stunned. Even Mingmei looked at her. Where did Wang Wenfei get the news from?

"Well, my grandfather said it, but I don't know the details… There should be other arrangements, right?"

Here, it's necessary to mention Wang Wenfei's grandfather, who is also Mei Qiu's teacher, Marshal Wang.

Wang Wenfei's family background is considered one of the old noble families of the Empire. Wasn't it her brother who asked Marshal Wang to endorse him during the Zerg incident some time ago?

And Mingmei also remembered that Wang Wenying, who had a hazy romance with her brother in the game, was Wang Wenfei's older sister.

Faced with everyone's gossipy and worried expressions, everyone wanted to ask about Mei Qiu's future plans.

But Wang Wenfei had only heard her grandfather mention it unintentionally when she contacted her family, and she didn't dare to ask too much.

"But General Mei Qiu is so strong, the Empire must have other arrangements, don't worry everyone."

Speaking of Mei Qiu, the topic of the girls present instantly went far away. Mingmei listened quietly, and seeing the way everyone blushed when they mentioned her brother, Mingmei suddenly felt that her second brother was really a troublemaker.

It felt like he had fans all over the interstellar space.

Tsk!

"Maybe they'll continue the engagement? After all, General Mei Qiu ran away temporarily when they were engaged, and the Imperial Royal Family lost a lot of face at the time. Shouldn't they continue the engagement this time?"

Lu Xiaoyao's thought process was different from others. Although she was also a fan of Mei Qiu's face, she still liked to ship CPs. As a result, the atmosphere instantly cooled down when she said this.

Oh, General Mei Qiu seems to have someone already?

And Mingmei clearly saw the dimness in Wang Wenfei's eyes, which startled Mingmei.

Woah woah woah!

Could Wang Wenfei have gotten into some "sister-in-law" literature?

"Ahem, General Mei Qiu is such a charming person, it's a pity to be engaged, but think about it, the princess's background is not bad, her appearance is also good, and her personality is also… good. The two are a match made in heaven, and the age is just right. The hidden Zerg incident has also come to an end for the time being, so things that should be done should be done, right?"

After speaking, Mingmei secretly glanced in Wang Wenfei's direction, and seeing her forced smile, Mingmei sighed in her heart. This… she couldn't have fallen for him just because of a game, right?

If that were the case, then her brother would simply be guilty.

"Indeed, the princess is pretty good, it would be even better if she wasn't my homeroom teacher~"

Lu Xiaoyao propped her cheeks with her hands and said with some annoyance, "Ms. Cheshire looks gentle on the surface, and you also feel that she is very gentle when you first come into contact with her, but if you try to play tricks in front of her… sigh~ I'm a cautionary tale!"

Lu Xiaoyao shook her head, as if she didn't want to mention the past, but it aroused other people's curiosity, and even Mingmei looked at her, surprised in her heart.

Did Lu Xiaoyao have the nerve to play tricks with Ms. Cheshire?

The afternoon tea time was very short. When Mingmei returned to the dormitory in the evening, the delivery robot had been waiting at the door for a long time. Mingmei received the package, which was actually a dress and an invitation.

An invitation to the Empire's National Day banquet.

"What's this?"

After Mingmei returned to the room, she carefully looked at the invitation, which stated that the invitee was the Minister of the Security Department of Hua Lan Starfield and their family.

Mingmei: Eh???

Whose position is this among her relatives?

Just as she was full of question marks, her second brother Mei Qiu, who had been missing for the past few days, called again.

Then came a series of explosive news—her brother had indeed left the Empire and was no longer a general.

But her brother had returned to Hua Lan Star and was not only the Minister of the Security Department of Hua Lan Starfield, but also the Commander-in-Chief of the Hua Lan Star Mecha Army.

"Meimei, remember to practice ballroom dancing, there will be reporters at the banquet that day, it will be embarrassing if you make a fool of yourself~"

Looking at the bright smile on her second brother's face in the video call, Mingmei's heart felt a little blocked.

She doesn't know ballroom dancing?

Who should she practice with?

"Second Brother."

"Hmm?"

"Is there no one else? Why do you want me to attend the banquet?"

"You're my sister, aren't there only three opposite genders in our family? Mom is traveling outside, and the only ones left are you and your sister-in-law. Do you want me to bring my sister-in-law? Am I a pervert? Or do I have some unspeakable fetish?"

Mingmei didn't speak now. After holding back for a long time, Mingmei finally couldn't help but burst out, "If you had properly gotten engaged back then, it would be fine to bring Teacher Cheshire now! It's all your fault!"

As she spoke, Mingmei pointed at the screen, "How old are you, and you still haven't gotten married?"

Now it was Mei Qiu's turn to be choked. How did his little sister's tone sound like an old person at such a young age?!
