"Brother Ming, you're so generous! We've already graduated, and Achen didn't do well on his exams. We'll be completely unrelated people from now on, yet you still treat us to a meal out of old friendship. I admire you!"
Huang Yiming waved his hand with a smile, thinking to himself, "He invited Zhang Chen over because Zhang Chen only agreed to come when Shen Nianxi arrived."
Everyone in the class knows that Shen Nianxi rarely chats with anyone except when discussing serious matters. At most, she will say a few words to Zhang Chen, who is her deskmate.
Huang Yiming thought he was fairly good-looking and from a good family, so he felt that Shen Nianxi's icy demeanor was all an act. He didn't believe that an eighteen-year-old girl could be so cold.
After hinting at it to Shen Nianxi so many times, shouldn't there be some result by now?
It doesn't matter if this confession fails. I still have four years at Nanjing University, so I'll just start something new.
Huang Yiming thought for a moment, then stood up, clapped his hands, and laughed:
"Hey, you can't say that. We're classmates, so there's no need to ruin our relationship. Everyone has their day."
"Come on everyone, let's keep having fun! Those of you who want to sing, keep singing. Don't make this big room too quiet," Huang Yiming said generously.
Upon hearing this, the private room became a bit noisier with laughter and chatter, splitting into several small groups, each doing their own thing.
Many people came to the gathering because they heard that Shen Nianxi might come, all hoping to get some recognition from the daughter of Ning'an's richest man at the time of graduation.
In the future, when I'm in Ning'an, I can brag about 'I know Shen Nianxi'.
Another reason was that Huang Yiming assured the class that he had invited his brother-in-law, who was a teacher at Nanjing University, to come and meet everyone.
Most of the students in the class who did well on the exam basically chose Nanjing University as their first choice, because Nanjing University's status in Ning'an is no less than that of universities in Beijing.
As soon as they hear that someone has connections and can get involved, they'll definitely want to come.
"Clap."
However... the noise in the private room had barely subsided when everyone saw Zhang Chen push open the door and walk in as if no one else was there.
The private room fell silent again, except for a few girls who gasped and whispered about Zhang Chen's appearance...
Huang Yiming stood up to welcome him, "Zhang Chen, you've gotten even more handsome since I last saw you. Find a seat, I admit I went too far last time. Um, did you invite Shen Nianxi?"
"I've been blocked, can't reach you." Zhang Chen sat down in a corner, playing with his phone, a self-proclaimed freeloader who rejects ineffective social interactions.
"You didn't call out? No, what happened to the agreement?" Huang Yiming's expression was uncertain. "Are you playing me?"
Zhang Chen looked down at his phone.
"Forget it, Ming-ge, Zhang Chen probably sent Shen Nianxi some outrageous comments and got blocked a long time ago. You know what kind of person he is..." the boy next to Huang Yiming quickly said.
It appears to be advocating for reconciliation, but in reality it is belittling.
But at that moment, another girl suddenly shouted excitedly:
"Wow! Nianxi said in the group chat that she's coming! But she also asked... is Zhang Chen here?"
Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Zhang Chen.
Huang Yiming's expression instantly brightened. "Oh, it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. Zhang Chen must have been joking. He definitely helped call for help."
The boy who had been trying to mediate also smiled awkwardly.
Soon, the people in the private room started talking back and forth, and under Huang Yiming's leadership, they began to launch into long-winded speeches. They were all recent high school graduates, yet they were singing and chanting in unison at the dinner table, spouting slang about not forgetting each other when they became rich and powerful.
Zhang Chen remained unmoved; he was just there to go through the motions.
He used to always want to fit into the group, and I felt that he was not mature enough.
Looking back now, I feel that these people are neither mature nor naive; they are just fake.
Zhang Chen shook his head, staying alert and keeping the system constantly running to sense whether the perverted cat abuser had appeared.
To his surprise... the list of entries appeared very quickly.
Furthermore, the word "system" became clearer and clearer, to the point that Zhang Chen could even sense the "nine lives" within the other party's body.
The other person was approaching straight ahead... Could it be that the man was the so-called "teacher from Nanjing University"?
That's quite exemplary for a teacher.
"Hey, here it comes!"
The door opened, and a man and a woman walked in, carrying large bags of snacks and drinks.
"Hello~ I brought you some food. Hey, Yiming, come and share this with your classmates." The woman said with a warm smile.
The man beside her, however, did not have the same warm smile as hers. Instead, his smile was frozen, as he stared at a corner of the private room, his pupils slightly constricted.
"Hey, sis!" Huang Yiming stepped forward and stood next to the man, smiling. "This is my brother-in-law. Ah, he's a professor at Nanjing University. We all got into Nanjing University. If you don't understand anything, you can ask him!"
"Brother Ming is awesome!"
"Thank you so much, Brother Ming!"
A cheer erupted from the private room.
Zhang Chen hid amidst the cheers, meeting the man's gaze.
One second, two seconds.
The other person's face was tense, and their hands were clenched tightly. Even when Huang Yiming tried to take the snacks and drinks, he couldn't budge them no matter how hard he tried.
"Brother-in-law, what's going on..." Huang Yiming was stunned.
"Oh? It's that little master?" The woman recognized Zhang Chen now. "Yiming, is that little master your classmate? Why didn't you tell me sooner?"
"Huh? What little master..." Huang Yiming turned around abruptly.
"You mean that old fortune teller that Mom and Dad always talk about, the one who's really good at telling fortunes? This little brother is his apprentice, don't you remember?"
"How could I possibly remember this..." Huang Yiming's brain went blank. Where did Zhang Chen get this ghost master from?
Then, the woman brought snacks to Zhang Chen, picked out some snacks and drinks, handed them to him, and said a few words of thanks and concern.
"Little brother, are you also going to Nanjing University? I'll ask my husband to take good care of you. Putting everything else aside, the military training will definitely be easier."
"Right, honey? You can do that, right?" The woman glanced back at the man.
The man forced a smile, nodded, and kept his gaze fixed on Zhang Chen.
For a moment, there were many whispers in the private room.
"Isn't Zhang Chen's score insufficient?"
"I don't know. He's going to Nanjing University too? Judging from the looks of it... could he have gotten in through connections?"
"Who knows... who his master is?"
As the conversation in the private room gradually shifted its focus, Huang Yiming's face darkened, and a nameless anger suddenly surged within him.
He brought people over with the intention of making them the center of attention at the gathering.
But now, inexplicably, the two of them came in and started praising Zhang Chen... which changed the entire atmosphere of the party.
"Brother Ming, what should we do?" the boy next to him asked.
"What a load of rubbish."
Huang Yiming spat, about to say that Zhang Chen's score was not high enough, when the woman stopped him.
"Yiming, pour your little master a Coke."
"Sister, I..."
"hurry up!"
Huang Yiming reluctantly poured himself a glass of cola. As he passed the man, he complained, "Brother-in-law, are you two very familiar with him?"
"Don't worry about your sister's business." The man wiped his face, looking impatient. "I'm going to the restroom."
"Brother-in-law, you've only just arrived and we haven't even exchanged a few words yet..." Huang Yiming was stunned. Why wasn't he being given any face? Whose relative was he anyway?
Meanwhile, Zhang Chen watched the man walk out, lost in thought.
I didn't want to alert the snake, but I ended up running right into it.
I can only keep up.
...
At that time and at that moment.
Shen Nianxi rushed downstairs to the KTV, followed by several people in uniform.
"I'll go up first, and you can come back when he's alone," the girl instructed.
Shen Nianxi knew that anyone who would torture a demon like this was a twisted pervert, not to mention that this time they had even alarmed Tu Shan Han Su... She had to be careful.
There are also very strict laws governing the relationship between humans and demons. It is a crime to torture or kill a demon in a human city.
Ning'an has been quite turbulent lately... Not only did Tu Shan Han Su suddenly visit, but a cat demon who had been living in seclusion for a thousand years also appeared.
In addition, the company's phones were ringing off the hook this morning; all sorts of strange entities were asking what that intense fluctuation of yang energy was...
Especially those two female demons at Nanjing University.
Those two female demons... are both quite mysterious, always appearing and disappearing without a trace, so it's rare that they both called.
Was this violent fluctuation really caused by that cat demon? Can a demon possess such abundant yang energy?
If it were a demon with a thousand years of cultivation, it wouldn't be surprising if it could do something like this... after all, there aren't many thousand-year-old demons in the world.
Hopefully, it's not some kind of blood sacrifice ritual, that would be too terrifying.
"I don't understand..."
Putting her thoughts aside for the moment, Shen Nianxi went up to the third floor and prepared to push open the door to room 305.
The girl took a deep breath.
By sheer coincidence, the thug ended up at the gathering and turned out to be a relative of one of the classmates.
Fortunately, by using her student status, she wouldn't alert the enemy.
As for that classmate's name... she couldn't remember, only that she was very sweet and even more annoying than Zhang Chen... Oh, she almost forgot, Zhang Chen was here too!
Honestly, why did he even come here...? Wouldn't he just be laughed at for coming to a party like this? He's clearly a sensitive and insecure guy...
Never mind that, let's deal with that dangerous entity first.
Push open the door.
"I'm coming!"
