Lu Jing was responsible for taking the somewhat drunk Shen Chuyue home.
Of course, this was something Shen Chuyue brought up herself.
Shen Chuyue walked with her, whistling softly.
Lu Jing felt inexplicably nervous, his mind racing with thoughts, but he wasn't very good at talking to girls.
"Lu Jing, which university do you want to apply to?"
Shen Chuyue asked.
"Hmm... I haven't decided yet."
"That's true, with your talent, it doesn't matter which university you go to."
Lu Jing smiled.
Shen Chuyue glanced at him and suddenly said, "You have six-pack abs, right?"
"....ah?"
The two chatted back and forth, exchanging a few words.
The night, as dark as ink, quietly spread and enveloped them.
Aside from their hushed conversation, time seemed to slow down.
Occasionally, a faint, ambiguous atmosphere would permeate the air.
The atmosphere was harmonious, and the night was deep.
Just then, Shen Chuyue asked in a casual tone:
"By the way, what exactly did you encounter in the giant dungeon?"
"...what?"
Her question surprised Lu Jing.
"what happened?"
Shen Chuyue noticed that Lu Jing's expression was a little off.
"Can't I say this?"
"No, it's..."
"Well, I'm home."
Lu Jing realized what was happening and said, "Goodbye then."
"Bye, thank you for taking me home today. Let me know on WeChat when you get home."

"Bye~"
The girl's face appeared exceptionally beautiful and captivating in the moonlight.
Even though she had already left, she turned around and gave Lu Jing a smile.
Lu Jing also smiled.
After saying goodbye to Shen Chuyue, Lu Jing walked back.
................
funeral.
"Today, with heavy hearts, we pay our sincerest condolences to the eight heroes who bravely and heroically sacrificed their lives in the battle for the city."
At the most dangerous moment, they disregarded their personal safety and resolutely threw themselves into danger, building an unbreakable defense with their own flesh and blood.
To protect this city, to safeguard the peace and tranquility of its people.
They never backed down, and never showed the slightest fear, even when faced with the enemy's fierce and merciless attacks.
Some of them may have just embarked on their life's journey, yet they have already shone with the most brilliant light in this brutal battle.
Some may have experienced many hardships, but they still hold fast to their beliefs.
Their departure was like a shooting star falling from the sky; though brief, it left an eternal mark, allowing us to forever remember their dedication and sacrifice.
They will live forever in our hearts, becoming the strongest spiritual driving force on our path forward, inspiring us to keep striving to create a better future…
Lu Jing, dressed in a black suit, stood in the crowd, bowing slightly to show his respect.
Those were the Awakened Ones who died fighting to stop the monsters rushing out of the giant portal.
Although they did not enter the portal, they were all brave and fearless warriors just like me.
He is a hero who protects his loved ones.
Do everything in your power to stop the monsters from rushing into the city...
Lu Jing glanced at the family members who were crying incessantly not far away, and felt a lump in his throat.
"Sigh, that instance was really dangerous," the monkey sighed. "We almost ended up on the list of those who died."
“Yes,” Miao Miao said, “I still feel scared when I think about it now.”
"Thanks to Lu Jing."
"I almost became a martyr."
The group took turns praising Lu Jing, making him feel a little embarrassed.
However, Lu Jing thought about how he had become a martyr and how everyone he knew was crying at his grave.
Those pretty girls were all lamenting why they hadn't met him sooner, saying they wanted to marry a great hero like Lu Jing.
Everyone was saddened by his departure, and then the world was at peace.
He became a legend.
Lu Jing suddenly realized that this feeling wasn't so bad after all.
"........."
After the funeral.
Lu Jing stood alone by the cemetery, lost in thought.
Just then, someone called his name from behind.
Lu Jing turned his head and looked at the other person's face, but couldn't remember who it was.
However, the other party called out his name accurately.
"Hello, Lu Jing."
"Do we...know each other?"
He was a middle-aged man in his forties.
“We don’t know each other. My name is Liu Zhiyi. One of the deceased was my good friend, and I am proud of him.”
Liu Zhiyi introduced herself.
"Knowing the meaning?"
"The south wind knows my heart, blowing my dreams to the Western Continent. I hope the south wind can carry my feelings to the Western Continent." Liu Zhiyi smiled.
Lu Jing nodded. "Hello, did you need something?"
"I am the director of Shunli Hospital."
"Shunli Hospital..."
Lu Jing remembered that when his father was in a car accident, the organization arranged for him to go to Shunli Hospital.
Could this person in front of me also be someone from within the organization?
Liu Zhiyi smiled and said, "To be honest, I admire you very much. I have already decided to refund all of your father's medical expenses."
"what?"
Lu Jing was slightly surprised.
"Not so polite!"
“That’s only right,” Liu Zhiyi said. “By the way, this is the invitation to the banquet tomorrow night.”
"banquet?"
"Yes, we have a private banquet tomorrow night. We usually invite celebrities from all walks of life to chat, dance, and listen to music."
“I’m not interested in this.” Lu Jing refused without hesitation.
This thing is so high-end!
Liu Zhiyi said, "As a member of the board of directors of Jiangnan University, I may be able to determine the most suitable, relatively low score standard for you. After all, we should treat heroes specially."
More members of the Jiangnan University Board of Trustees will be attending this banquet, so you'll have to meet them.
