Judging from the way Xiao Yu blushed to the back of her ears when she spoke, it must have been Xue Ni who came up with the idea.

But he had other things to do right now, so he would go find Xiao Yu later.

When Qin Yu arrived at the Canaan Academy Grand Arena, there were people fighting on the stage.

He found a seat near the front and immediately recognized the two people on stage.

Bai Cheng and Han Yue.

Qin Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, not expecting to run into these two people here at the same time.

Bai Cheng's attacks were swift and fierce, clearly aiming to overwhelm his opponent with his momentum.

However, although his attacks were fierce, they seemed somewhat impatient, as if he wanted to knock his opponent off the stage with just a few punches and kicks.

In contrast, Han Yue's silver figure on the arena was like a ray of moonlight, agile and composed.

Bai Cheng's fighting style is extremely energy-consuming, while Han Yue is using minimal cost to gradually wear down his stamina and patience.

Sure enough, after another dozen or so rounds, Bai Cheng's offensive slowed down noticeably, and his breathing became rapid.

Han Yue seized this opening and repelled him with a single blow.

Bai Cheng's face flushed red, and he gritted his teeth as he charged forward again, but his rhythm had completely gone out of control.

Han Yue dodged his fist to the side, condensed a ball of silver-white battle qi in her palm, and slammed her palm into Bai Cheng's chest.

Bai Cheng staggered back several steps, nearly falling off the stage.

The outcome is decided.

Bai Cheng stood at the edge of the ring, adjusted his breathing, snorted coldly, turned around and jumped off the ring.

Qin Yu watched Bai Cheng's departing figure, lost in thought.

Han Yue also stepped off the stage, her gaze inadvertently sweeping over the stands, her steps pausing slightly.

She saw Qin Yu.

When they met in the Scripture Pavilion a week ago, Qin Yu was still a four-star Dou Zhe. Now, his Dou Qi fluctuations are noticeably stronger.

Five-Star Warrior.

A hint of surprise flashed in Han Yue's eyes. This kind of cultivation speed... was quite rare.

Their eyes met.

Qin Yu nodded slightly as a greeting, and Han Yue nodded in return before turning and leaving the arena.

Qin Yu withdrew his gaze and sat in the arena for a while longer, watching several other people's matches.

Unfortunately, the remaining matches were unremarkable and didn't offer much to ponder.

Qin Yu simply got up and left the arena to go into the mountains to cultivate his martial arts and combat skills.

By the time we finished work and descended the mountain, it was completely dark.

The canteen was brightly lit, and groups of two or three students were carrying their trays in and out.

Qin Yu got his food and looked around with his tray. Suddenly, he noticed that Xiao Yu and Xue Ni were sitting face to face, very close to each other, as if they were whispering something.

He walked over quietly, and before he even got close, he heard Xue Ni's barely suppressed laughter:

"...You just asked that so directly? My god, Yu'er, you're so brave, hahaha!"

"It's all because you taught me! You said something about 'testing his reaction,' but how am I supposed to know how to test him?"

Xiao Yu's voice was very low, and her words were full of frustration.

"I told you to ask him if it looks good, not if he likes it!"

Sheryl covered her mouth, laughing so hard her shoulders shook.

"And you even asked 'What about me?' Hahahaha... Yu'er, you're truly a natural-born talent!"

"You're still laughing!"

Xiao Yu was so anxious that she kicked Xue Ni under the table.

"This is terrible, he'll definitely avoid me every time we meet tomorrow..."

"That's not necessarily true."

Xue Ni finally managed to stop laughing and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"I don't think Qin Yu is the type to avoid people. But you are like a mouse seeing a cat when you see him."

"I...I was just nervous..."

Xiao Yu's voice grew softer and softer. Qin Yu, standing a few steps away, heard this and couldn't help but smile slightly.

It was indeed Xue Ni's idea, but Xiao Yu's performance was a bit "extraordinary".

He didn't go any further, but turned around and went around to the other side.

Is anyone here?

Qin Yu walked to the table and pointed to the empty seat next to Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu's body stiffened visibly, and her chopsticks slipped from her hand and tapped against the rim of the bowl with a crisp sound.

Xue Ni looked up and saw Qin Yu, then glanced at Xiao Yu's appearance, and said with a grin:

"There's no one here, please sit down!"

Qin Yu sat down, set the plate down, and glanced at Xiao Yu out of the corner of his eye and saw that her ears were already bright red.

Xue Ni tapped the rim of Xiao Yu's bowl with her chopsticks and said in a low voice:

"Hey, they're here, say something!"

"What did you say?"

Xiao Yu finally raised her head, glanced quickly at Qin Yu, then lowered her head again, her voice barely audible.

Xue Ni sighed in exasperation and took the initiative to start a conversation with Qin Yu about what happened in class that day.

After exchanging a few words, Xue Ni suddenly changed the subject:

"By the way, Qin Yu, where did you go this afternoon? My Yu'er has been looking for you for ages."

"He went to the competition venue."

Qin Yu took a bite of rice and answered casually.

"A competition arena? To watch people fight?"

Xue Ni's eyes lit up, and she immediately perked up.

"Is there anything interesting to see? Tell us about it!"

"There wasn't much to see, just Bai Cheng and Han Yue had a fight, but Bai Cheng was clearly outmatched by Han Yue."

Although I didn't understand what "the area was flooded with messages" meant, it probably means... Bai Cheng was abused by Han Yue, right?

After chatting for a few more minutes, seeing that Xiao Yu remained silent, Xue Ni got up to clear the plates.

"I'll be going now. You guys enjoy your meal."

She winked at Xiao Yu, then turned and left.

The number of people in the cafeteria gradually decreased. After finishing their meal, Qin Yu and Xiao Yu walked out of the cafeteria side by side.

A night breeze blew by, bringing a touch of coolness and dissipating the last bit of heat from Xiao Yu's face.

"Um... don't take what I said before to heart."

Xiao Yu hesitated for a long time before finally speaking.

Which sentence?

Qin Yu turned his head and glanced at her.

Xiao Yu's face turned red again. She lowered her head and stared at her toes, which were almost invisible, wishing she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

"It's...it's that line..."

"What was that sentence?"

Qin Yu's tone was calm, but the curve of his lips betrayed him.

Xiao Yu finally realized what was happening, looked up and glared at him.

"You did that on purpose!"

"No, I didn't, don't talk nonsense."

Qin Yu shook his head, his expression serious.

Xiao Yu stared at him for two seconds, then suddenly burst out laughing, finally relaxing her tense nerves after a long day.

"That…"

"You and I both love watching it."

This time, Qin Yu spoke before Xiao Yu could, and his words made Xiao Yu's eyes sparkle. She pursed her lips, hesitated for a long time, and finally managed to utter a single word:

"Um."

The two continued walking forward, Xiao Yu's steps becoming much lighter, and she would occasionally turn her head to glance at Qin Yu's profile.

When Xiao Yu returned to the dormitory, Xue Ni was lying on the bed, holding a picture book she had somehow found.

Upon seeing her enter, Xue Ni immediately put down her book and sat up.

"How is it? How is it?"

"What, how is it?"

Xiao Yu pretended not to understand and took off her outer robe, but she couldn't suppress the smile on her lips.
