The comments said I was deeply affectionate, I just added points by using an alternate account.

"Ring ring..."

The bell finally rang, and Teacher Li closed his lesson plan, said "Class dismissed," and walked out of the classroom with his thermos cup in his hand.

The classroom, which had been quiet and oppressive for the entire lesson, instantly came alive.

"Let's go, let's go eat, I'm starving."

"Brother Ao, are we going to the training ground again today? I feel like my Qi and Blood Power has broken through again."

"Don't even mention it! I haven't finished copying down all the questions I got wrong, and they're due this afternoon. Can someone help me copy them...?"

Students poured out of the classrooms in twos and threes, and the corridor was soon filled with a cacophony of voices.

Long Ao was dragged to the cafeteria by Zhou Tong and his friends, half-pushing and half-reluctantly. Before leaving, he glared angrily at the leisurely Wang Hanyue.

Chen Guan calmly tidied the table.

He noticed that An Changqing's movements had also slowed down.

Instead of being the first to pack up and leave as usual, he leisurely tidied his desk, clearly killing time.

Chen Guan's movements also slowed down.

Soon, most of the students left the classroom, leaving only a few students in the corner still engrossed in their homework.

An Changqing finally tidied up his desk.

He didn't leave immediately; as Chen Guan had expected, he turned around and walked to his seat.

"Chen Guan"

He spoke, his voice not loud, just loud enough for Chen Guan to hear clearly.

Chen Guan raised his head and met his gaze.

An Changqing's expression was somewhat serious. He glanced at the classroom door to make sure no one was paying attention before lowering his voice.

"There's some new information from my dad regarding Black Wind Mountain."

coming.

Chen Guan showed no emotion on his face and stood up naturally.

"What news?"

An Changqing paused for a moment, looking at his unresponsive expression, as if he had already gotten used to it.

He shook his head.

"It's still being verified. The source of the information is somewhat unusual, and we cannot completely confirm its authenticity at this time."

An Changqing's gaze was calm, but it held something that Chen Guan couldn't understand.

"In short, the issues involved are not as simple as just the Guiyuan Group."

After he finished speaking, he reached out and patted Chen Guan on the shoulder.

"I will let you know when I have definite news."

After saying this, An Changqing said no more. He withdrew his hand, nodded to Chen Guan, then turned and walked out of the classroom.

Chen Guan stood there, watching his figure disappear around the corner of the corridor.

He began to ponder.

An Changqing's words revealed absolutely nothing of substance; they weren't even a proper trailer.

It was somewhat inexplicable, but Chen Guan felt that something was amiss; he had a feeling that these black sesame dumplings were up to no good.

"I'm hungry."

Leopard's voice rang out at the right time, and Chen Guan helplessly lowered his head and rubbed its head.

"Let's go, I'll take you to eat."

……

Huaqing College, Cafeteria No. 2.

It's lunchtime, and there are long queues at the food windows. The air is filled with the aroma of various dishes.

Chen Guan found a seat by the window and sat down.

The plate contained a standard college set meal, with three meat dishes and two vegetable dishes, providing a balanced diet.

Chen Guan didn't have much of an appetite and only ate a couple of bites.

Just then, a domineering fragrance forced its way into his nostrils.

It's the smoky aroma of grilled fish with the scent of charcoal.

The fragrance is coming from the next table.

Several students were enjoying a freshly baked fish.

The fish skin is roasted to a golden brown and crispy, sprinkled with chili and sesame seeds, while the tender white fish meat is soaked in red oil. Just looking at it makes your mouth water.

Suddenly, there was a movement in Chen Guan's pocket.

A fluffy head cautiously peeked out from the edge of the inside pocket of his trench coat.

Leopard's golden vertical pupils were fixed on the plate of grilled fish on the next table, and it let out a longing growl in its throat.

[Warning! Warning! The feline radar has locked onto the target.]

[Coffin Bro's pockets are about to burst.]

[Leopard: I've sacrificed so much for this family, what's wrong with eating a fish?]

Chen Guan remained expressionless, reaching out to press down on the restless little head, trying to shove it back in.

That belongs to someone else; why would you eat there?

As a result, it turned its head away and dodged, but instead tried even harder to burrow out, with half of its body sticking out. A long, furry tail swept across his chin, making him incredibly itchy.

"hiss."

Chen Guan put in a bit more force, grabbed the soft flesh at the back of its neck, and pulled it back.

"Waaah..."

The leopard protested with aggrieved cries, its four paws gripping the fabric tightly, refusing to let go.

"What's in your pocket?"

With half a rib stuffed in his mouth, Long Ao asked indistinctly, noticing that Chen Guan's chest was twitching, which was indescribably eerie.

Chen Guan ignored him, took out two pieces of dried meat with his other hand, and stuffed them into the leopard's mouth.

"Eat yours," he said in a voice only he could hear.

Leopard sniffed at the fish with disgust, then glanced at the grilled fish in the distance, but ultimately couldn't resist its instincts and opened its mouth to grab the jerky.

But those eyes still gazed resentfully in the direction of the grilled fish, as if Chen Guan were a villain who had broken up the lovers.

Having finally calmed the little devil down, Chen Guan breathed a sigh of relief and was just about to continue eating.

"Bang."

Long Ao slammed his plate down on the table, stood up, and looked down at Chen Guan.

"Have you finished eating?"

Chen Guan stared at the food he had only touched a few times, saying nothing.

Do I look like I've finished eating?

Long Ao realized what was happening too late and sat down, blushing.

Damn it, I forgot Chen Guan arrived late...

……

In the afternoon, at training ground number three.

After enduring Chen Beixuan's grueling training, they were exiled here to train on their own.

On the wide-open field, figures could be seen fighting each other everywhere, with the muffled thuds of fists colliding and the whooshing sounds of elemental power erupting rising and falling.

Long Ao and Chen Guan stood facing each other in an open space.

Long Ao had already taken off his school uniform jacket, wearing only a tight black vest that revealed his smooth muscle lines. He was cracking his knuckles as he moved them.

"Don't say I'm bullying you." Long Ao grinned. "I'll use all my strength."

"Come on," Chen Guan replied briefly.

It's still uncertain who will bully whom.

As soon as he finished speaking, Long Ao's figure disappeared from the spot.

The next second, the scorching wind from the punch hit his face.

Chen Guan floated back half a meter, just managing to dodge the heavy punch.

Long Ao's attack missed, but his offensive became even more ferocious. His fists rained down, completely sealing off Chen Guan from all sides.

Each punch carried a whistling sound that tore through the air, proof of the highly concentrated power of qi and blood.

Chen Guan dodged and weaved amidst the shadows of fists.

His movements weren't as grand as Long Ao's, but he always managed to avoid the most fatal attacks at the most crucial moments with the smallest movements.

Students nearby noticed the commotion and stopped their training to gather around.

"It's Long Ao and Chen Guan."
