After the college entrance exam, he began to become a male god of extraction.

In the blink of an eye, seven days of military training have passed.

For Xu Qin, the hardship of military training during this period was limited to standing at attention and marching.

However, thanks to the "invisible air-conditioned room" feature, Xu Qin was able to comfortably enjoy the air conditioning during his military training, avoiding the scorching heat under the sun.

Xu Qin also discovered that the "invisible air-conditioned room" had another function: it could prevent him from getting tanned under the hot sun. This function surprised Xu Qin because it was not mentioned in the instructions.

Therefore, he guessed that this "invisible air-conditioned room" made Xu Qin feel as if he were in a real indoor space, which is why he didn't get tanned.

Seven days later, Xu Qin's skin color was still the same as before the military training.

In Xu Qin's class, even some of the girls who were good at protecting themselves got quite tanned, not to mention the boys.

Only Xu Qin and Jiahao withstood the sun's damage.

Xu Qin can cheat, and Jiahao is inherently shady.

On the evening of September 3rd.

The evening military training lasted until 8:30 p.m.

After the military training ended, Xu Qin left the school and reunited with Xia Qingyun.

The two hadn't seen each other for several days, so Xia Qingyun specially called Xu Qin out.

Ten minutes later, the two met.

As soon as Xia Qingyun saw Xu Qin, she came over and carefully examined him by the light of the street lamp.

"what?"

Xia Qingyun suddenly let out a sound, seemingly quite surprised.

"Huh? What's that? A beauty mark under the eye?"

"I was surprised to learn that you're not tanned at all."

Xia Qingyun pointed to herself and said, "Look, my face and neck are a little bit dark."

"I told you, I didn't get tanned, but you don't seem to have gotten much darker either, do you?"

Xu Qin also sized up the other party.

"It's a little bit darker, though not much," Xia Qingyun said.

"No problem, you'll get your fair skin back soon after military training ends. Let's go eat."

"Xu Qin, have you had lunch yet?"

"I'm only here for this meal, what are we going to eat?"

"Hmph, I'll treat you to a big meal later!"

"What do you want to eat?"

"Chicken soup and medicinal hot pot, the chicken is authentic free-range chicken, and you can also order other barbecue. I went there with my roommates a couple of days ago, you can try it, and the chicken soup is very delicious."

"That sounds pretty good!"

The two then set off.

Actually, it's not far from here, only about ten minutes away.

Upon arrival at the destination.

Xu Qincai noticed that the store was quite crowded and seemed very popular. It had two floors and was almost full of people.

Xu Qin and the others waited in line for a while before it was their turn.

After being seated, the ordering process was completed.

Xia Qingyun then began rubbing her left palm.

Xu Qin noticed that the other person's palm looked a little swollen.

"What happened to your hand?"

Xu Qin grabbed the other person's hand and found that it was not only a little swollen, but also had abrasions.

"I fell while walking around noon, and that's how my hand got like this," Xia Qingyun said.

"Is it in the way?"

"It's alright."

Xia Qingyun shook her head.

Xu Qin touched it gently.

Xia Qingyun hissed, clearly in pain.

"You said it was nothing serious. We'll go to the pharmacy and buy some medicine to apply after we've eaten."

Xu Qin held the other person's hand, spoke, and then gently blew on it.

"Uh-huh."

Xia Qingyun nodded, her little face flushed.

"You fell and didn't even tell me. Your dad told me the other day to take care of you."

Old Xia also told him privately: "If you let her suffer outside, you're finished when we get back to Ningcheng!"

"What if my dad hadn't told you? Would you have taken care of me?" Xia Qingyun asked, her beautiful eyes meeting the other person's, blinking back and forth.

"Sure, what's our relationship? We're practically that close."

"Xu Qin, you should tell me if anything happens. After all, I'm a month older than you, so I'm like your older sister, and I have to take care of you!"

"You're still taking care of me even though you have a beauty mark under your eye? You're not even as tall as me!"

"Anyway, if anything happens, just tell me, and we'll get through this together!"

Xia Qingyun was extremely serious.

Soon, the medicinal chicken soup hot pot arrived.

Xia Qingyun is right, this chicken soup is indeed delicious.

As for whether it's a free-range chicken, that's hard to say.

After a hearty meal, it was nearly ten o'clock.

Xu Qin found a nearby pharmacy, bought a bottle of medicinal wine for Xia Qingyun, and then applied it to her skin.

He and Xia Qingyun were quite familiar with each other, so Xu Qin didn't think much of these actions.

However, in the darkness of night, the light was inevitably insufficient, and he did not notice the blush on the girl's cheeks.

"Remember to call me next time you need something."

Xu Qin gave instructions.

"Yeah, you too!"

"OK."

Finally, Xu Qin escorted Xia Qingyun to the gate of the new university and then left.

Ten minutes later.

Xu Qin returned to the gate of Chi University and inadvertently noticed a stunningly beautiful girl walking towards him from the other side.

Under the cover of darkness, the girl, dressed in her military training uniform, had skin so white it seemed to glow like a luminous pearl, creating a strange sense of incongruity with the surroundings.

Despite enduring the scorching sun during the seven days of military training, Yu Zhaoyan, with her fair complexion, seemed to have barely changed her skin tone.

Xu Qin noticed that other girls were discussing Yu Zhaoyan privately and all of them envied her.

Yu Zhaoyan is not only beautiful, but her skin is also so fair.

As the old saying goes, fair skin can cover up a hundred flaws.

Yu Zhaoyan was already very beautiful, but her skin was so fair, and not just ordinary fair. It's really unfair how Nuwa created humans.

She was walking alone at the time, and she came back carrying a bottle of fruit tea.

Upon seeing the other person, Xu Qin figured they were classmates, and since the other person was reading his book, he took the initiative to greet her: "Yu Zhaoyan, good evening."

"You too, good evening." Yu Zhaoyan was also quite polite.

Xu Qin and the other person walked into the school gate together.

"I saw you looking at that book, *New Town Year One*, before. What did you think of it?"

At this moment, Xu Qin was interviewing readers as an author, and had no other intentions.

Because Yu Zhaoyan is the first reader Xu Qin encounters in real life, besides his parents, Xia Qingyun's family, and Zheng Fanghong, the publishing house owner.

"You read this book too?"

Yu Zhaoyan asked a question in return.

"Look, and I'm very familiar with every plot point in this book," Xu Qin said.

Yu Zhaoyan was a little skeptical, thinking that Xu Qin was trying to strike up a conversation with her. So she asked him about a few plot points before confirming that Xu Qin had indeed read the book.

Moreover, Xu Qin was truly very familiar with the plot and even every character.

How carefully did he look at it?

At this point, Xu Qin asked again, "What do you think of this book?"

"I think this author is quite talented, and he's been making progress, but there's one part that I feel is lacking."

"Where?" Xu Qin pressed.

Yu Zhaoyan actually thought at first that the other person wanted to chat her up.

Isn't that how guys approach girls?

She has been approached by many guys and has experienced all sorts of pickup lines.

It's fair to say that she knows what a guy wants to do just by the slightest movement of his butt.

But Xu Qin is different.

Xu Qin's eyes were so serious; he seemed genuinely curious about her opinion on the book "New City Year One".

Eh?

Is he different?

Yu Zhaoyan said, "It is the book 'The First Year of Xincheng'. I feel that the author likes to focus his emotional writing on some grand emotions, such as feelings for family and country, national righteousness, etc., but lacks the description of our basic emotions as human beings."

For example, we ordinary people have seven emotions and six desires, such as joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness. We crave family affection, love, friendship, and so on. However, I feel that the emotions in this book are too grand, and the characters as a whole are more like the portrayal of "saints and gentlemen," while neglecting the "smallness" of us ordinary people.

"That's true, those things are definitely missing!"

Xu Qin suddenly felt as if he had been enlightened.

Because he genuinely didn't pay attention to those emotions.

As an eighteen-year-old boy, he also has his own heroes to admire.

That was Chi Yu, the military genius of Longhan. In his short life of thirty-three years, he spent almost all his time fighting and devoting himself to the country. It seems that there is no description of his personal life and private feelings in history books. Xu Qin read all the records about him and unconsciously put himself into the story when writing the book.
