章 14: Congratulations!
Tang Chunlan woke up with a gasp, her body covered with cold fear. If she hadn't transferred into another world or reincarnated, she wouldn't have thought this dream was real.
But it was.
As she placed her hand on the bed, she could feel that the sheets were damp. It would be a hassle to call a maid in the middle of the night so she took a bath, changed her clothes and the bedsheets. But unfortunately, she couldn't sleep and began to ponder on the situation.
If what that woman said....what is her name?? Tamara, she remembered. If what Tamara said is true, then she must not make the same mistake again.
Slowly but gradually, she formed a plan and fell asleep again.
"Miss! Miss! Please wake up!" An exasperated voice woke her.
Opening her eyes, which was partly blinded by the rays of the sun coming through the room, she saw the outline of a female in front of her.
"Miss, you are going to be late!" The maid said helplessly.
Chunlan blinked and jumped from the bed. Oh right! Today was the twins graduation...
She ran straight to the bathroom and came out going to the closet to bring out the dress she prepared. As she was about to wear it, her eyes caught a long cut across the back of the dress.
She frowned. Was this how she brought the dress?
Suddenly her mind clicked. She hit her forehead in frustration. How could she forget?! In her past life, this dress was also sabotaged. By her sisters. She sighed.
Response in her past life: She decided to be absent for their graduation. (That was out of anger!)
Response in this life: ....................
" Su Wan!" She called out.
The girl rushed into the room. "Yes, First Miss."
"Where are the twins?" She asked, drying her hair with a fluffy towel.
"In their room, Miss."
"Okay." She put down the towel and secured the one around her body tightly. As she walked in the hall, she was cautious not to allow anyone seeing her. When she arrived, instead of knocking, she barged into the room.
The twins always liked sharing things among them so they also shared the same room. Their beds were placed on both walls of the room allowing a huge gap in between. That was where the two vanity tables were placed.
As she walked inside, makeup artists, fashion and jewellery designers, and hair stylists were running haphazardly in the big room. The twins ceased their activities as they saw their elder sister enter the room.
"What do you want?" Chunhua asked coldly.
"I need a dress. Please lend me one." Chunlan asked with a straight face.
There was silence. The twins were shocked.
Chunhua scoffed. "Chunlan, how can you so shameless? Don't you have other dresses?"
Chunlan managed to keep a straight face even though her neck turned red due to shame. Which elder sister borrowed her younger sister's clothes? It was the other way round!
"Don't worry, I am not after your graduation dress. I just want to borrow a dress, is it so hard?"
"We don't have!" Chunhua retorted.
"Really?" Chunlan pursed her pink delicate lips. "Its okay, I guess I will just have to go like this." She said in a sad voice as she dropped the towel wrapped around her, standing in her naked glory.
The staff stood flabbergasted, along with the twins. Chunying recovered faster and shouted "Close your eyes!"
The male staff turned around, shocked at the sight. Chunlan was happy that she had worn her heels instead of her rabbit fur bathroom shoes. It showed she wasn't joking.
"Chunlan!" Chunhua screamed out of rage, making Chunlan wince.
"So noisy! What did I do wrong?" She rubbed her ears.
"You!-"
" Go to the closet. Pick any dress you like." Chunying cut her off with her panic filled eyes.
Chunlan's eyes lit up. "Really? Then I won't disturb you further." She walked into a room inside and grabbed a dress from the closet. As she was about to leave, she paused.
"Chunying, Chunhua." She called out.
Chunying raised her head, looking at her through the mirror. "En?"
"Congratulations on your high school graduation. May your road to adulthood be peaceful and smooth. May you never know hardships or difficulties in life."
Chunhua felt her throat choked up as she watched the sister she secretly admired, loved and hated wish her a smooth life.
"Thank you." Chunying said, her eyes tearing up.
