My Mr. Mermaid

Untitled Part 21

Chapter 21 by ryuxenji

As Qi Rui-Feng returned to the dorms with his arm around Ming Tian and the others, he was still humming in high spirits, and then, he caught sight of his coach, Yuan Roon-Mei, leaning on the door outside his dormitory.

She was smiling, but her eyes radiated a cold light.

In that instant, Qi Rui-Feng felt a blast of cold wind right to his face and was abruptly much more sober.

Ming Tian's and Zheng Ling-Ye's faces turned an interesting colour, and they quickly took the first chance they had to slip away.

Yuan Roon-Mei smiled widely at Qi Rui-Feng. "Thinking to get married already?"

"Cough."

"How about I be the one?"

Qi Rui-Feng felt chills throughout his body; the alcohol had been completely driven away by fear. He bowed his head and said in a small voice, "Boss Yuan, I was wrong."

"What did you do wrong?"

"I shouldn't have posted that Weibo. I'll delete it now." So saying, Qi Rui-Feng reached into a pocket to grab his phone.

Yuan Roon-Mei sniffed coldly. "What use is it to delete it now?"

"Erm, then what should I do?"

Yuan Roon-Mei did not answer but asked another question instead. "Besides posting a Weibo which you shouldn't have, what else did you do which you shouldn't have?"

"Shouldn't have? Uh, drink?" Qi Rui-Feng wasn't too sure about this, because there wasn't an explicit rule prohibiting drinking in the team.

"You plan to just stand there and talk to me?"

When Qi Rui-Feng heard this, he reacted especially quickly — he immediately dropped to the ground and began doing push-ups at a rapid pace.

At this time, Wu Yong walked over and leaned against the other wall of the corridor. He smiled at Yuan Roon-Mei and said, "Matron Yuan, bullying the kids again?"

"Big-Beard Wu, it's none of your business."

"I know that. I'm just here to watch." Wu Yong was somewhat enjoying another's misery — he knew that this was not nice, but he just could not help it.

Yuan Roon-Mei had an unhappy expression on her face as she looked down at Qi Rui-Feng and said, "Get up. Go back and write a reflection. No less than 800 words, and the words and grammar must be filled with sincere emotion. Summarize everything you've been up to in these past 3 months. Hand it up to me tomorrow."

Boom! Qi Rui-Feng tumbled to the ground. His face was white. "Matron, no!"

Writing reflections was what Qi Rui-Feng was most afraid of. By optimistic estimations, his composition level was around year 3 of primary school. For him to write an 800-word reflection was even more painful than swimming 10,000 metres.

Yuan Roon-Mei was unmoved. "Don't let Tang Yi-Bai write it for you." Done speaking, she left.

Qi Rui-Feng climbed up from the ground and shouted at Yuan Roon-Mei's back, "Matron, what if I can't finish writing it?"

"Then you can stop training. Whenever you're done is when you'll train."

Observing from the side, Wu Yong shook his head and sighed, "So ruthless!"

Top athletes were very invested in their training — by banning him from training, Qi Rui-Feng himself was certain to be the first one to become anxious. As such, Qi Rui-Feng could only obediently write his reflection, and the process would inevitably be agonising ... Wu Yong could not bear to think any deeper than that. Frankly speaking, he had no quarrel with Qi Rui-Feng — in fact, he quite liked the little fellow. He just could not see eye to eye with Yuan Roon-Mei, that's all.
