Tang Wulin, you have already chosen your own death!

Wang Dong and his two companions left the stage dejectedly.

Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao are alright.

They were already mentally prepared, and they didn't have much of an opinion about Tang Wulin winning the championship.

However, Huo Yuhao was defeated.

His expression was blank, and his bright eyes were dim.

That extreme personality, born from childhood trauma and a loveless environment, is constantly destroying him.

He glanced gloomily at Tang Wulin on the stage.

Xiao Xiao originally wanted to go forward and comfort her.

However, he sensed Huo Yuhao's cold and hostile attitude.

Xiao Xiao immediately became frightened and retreated.

The crowd gradually dispersed.

Zhou Yi looked at her students and sighed inwardly.

For the first time ever, he didn't get angry. Instead, he patted them on the shoulder and simply said, "Just do your best."

Only after the students left did her gaze finally fall on the white-clad, blue-sworded figure who was about to disappear at the end of the assessment area.

My heart was pounding wildly in my chest.

Zhou Yi knew she might be humiliating herself.

But if it weren't for this opportunity, she might never have had the chance to speak again.

"Teacher Wu!" So she quickly chased after her.

Wu Changkong stopped and turned around, his dark green eyes looking at her calmly, his face expressionless.

Zhou Yi took a deep breath, her nails digging into her palms: "I... I have something I want to tell you. Can we find a quiet place to talk alone?"

After saying that, she barely dared to look him in the eye, already prepared for a cold rejection.

A brief silence.

"can."

The two simple words made Zhou Yi suddenly raise her head, almost doubting that she had misheard.

Wu Changkong... actually agreed?

An unrealistic fantasy even popped into her mind.

The two arrived at Wu Changkong's temporary room in the teachers' dormitory, one after the other.

The room was tidy, with almost nothing superfluous, and as quiet as the man himself.

Zhou Yi seemed a little uneasy, her gaze sweeping over the simple furniture before finally settling on Wu Changkong's expressionless face.

She took a deep breath and made up her mind.

“Back then, we were together in the outer courtyard. I noticed you seemed to really enjoy the food at those old restaurants in the east of Tiandou City.” Zhou Yi’s voice was a little strained, and her fingers unconsciously twisted the hem of her clothes.

“I went to learn it specifically. On the day I graduated from the Foreign Languages ​​Department, I cooked a feast, which was made especially for you.”

do you remember?"

Wu Changkong paused for a moment, then looked away, his voice flat: "I don't remember."

Who would have thought that the usually fierce and assertive woman would show such a wronged expression?

Even Zhou Yi herself couldn't imagine it.

She said no more and went into the small kitchen.

Before long, several steaming hot home-style dishes were served.

Candied yellow vegetables, Mapo tofu, and shredded pork with garlic sauce are all very common dishes, but they are incredibly fragrant.

Zhou Yi clearly put in a lot of effort.

When Wu Changkong saw this scene, countless images of spending time with Long Bing flashed through his mind.

"Wow, Changkong, I love their candied yellow vegetables the most! It's unbelievable that they can make eggs this delicious. I'll learn how to make it at home for you sometime, okay?"

"Hey, save some tofu for me! I heard that eating more tofu is good for your skin. My skin is a little better than yours, but I still need to work on it."

"Fish-flavored shredded pork is so delicious with rice! I want to eat another half bowl, okay? Do you think I'll gain weight?!"

"Look at you, you're so clumsy, there are rice grains all over your face. Ugh, I'm not going to let you kiss them off! Ouch, don't come any closer!"

By the time they realized what was happening, Wu Changkong had already eaten the entire plate of food.

The icy indifference on his face finally cracked at this moment.

His Adam's apple bobbed, and he looked at Zhou Yi with a complicated expression, his lips moving slightly.

"Thank you."

Zhou Yi's heart skipped a beat as she looked into Wu Changkong's eyes, which held a tenderness... She...

But Wu Changkong's next words were like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing the enthusiasm that had just been ignited in her heart!

"These were some of my wife's favorite dishes when she was alive."

Wu Changkong spoke softly, his words clearly intended for Zhou Yi: "Thank you."

Zhou Yi froze on the spot, the color draining from her face instantly.

My lover...before they passed away?

It turned out to be the case.

After a long silence, Zhou Yi opened her mouth again, her expression stubborn.

"Your feelings towards me..."

But when he met Wu Changkong's dark green eyes, the words stuck in his throat, and he couldn't bring himself to ask them.

Wu Changkong remained silent, as still as a block of ancient ice.

Zhou Yi's teaching style was too domineering.

In fact, she has already been jointly reported by many Soul Master families who forcibly expelled her from school, and the public is outraged, demanding that the academy dismiss her.

In the original timeline, with Fan Yu as her backer, Zhou Yi could act recklessly.

But now, Zhou Yi is just a minor troublemaker teacher in the foreign language department.

This might be Zhou Yi's last day as a teacher at Shrek Academy's foreign language department.

So she went all in.

But the result was...

Zhou Yi felt as if her heart had been hollowed out.

She bid a final farewell to Wu Changkong, her heart broken.

Zhou Yi walked slowly down the corridor of the teachers' dormitory, secretly hoping that he would call her back.

No.

There was no sound behind her until she completely disappeared into the depths of the corridor.

She was utterly desperate.

The door closed.

Wu Changkong came to the window. The sky was dark and dusk was approaching.

Zhou Yi's figure slowly disappeared into the twilight.

Wu Changkong recalled the time when the academy forced him to participate in the Sea God's Fate Blind Date Event.

His matchmaking event was undoubtedly the focus of attention.

Seven or eight girls chose him.

But in the end, Wu Changkong coldly rejected them all.

The Sea God's Fate ends at midnight.

Unqualified to join the inner academy, Zhou Yi, soaked to the bone and without even an umbrella, waited all night in the rain before arriving in front of Wu Changkong.

Gone is her usual indifference and arrogance; she's just like any other ordinary girl, proposing to the one she loves.

Memories grow increasingly blurred in the sea of ​​the mind.

Zhou Yi's blushing face gradually solidified in Wu Changkong's mind, and a chill rose within him.

In the end, it turned into pieces of ice and disappeared into memory.

He opened his dark green eyes, which were filled with coldness.

So be it.

……

Shrek City, in a bustling little restaurant.

"Although you weren't the champion, you only lost to Xiao Wu Lin, hehe, not bad! I, the sect leader, hereby grant you special permission to join the Tang Sect!"

Tang Ya sat in the main seat, looked at Wang Dong who was full of expectation, patted her chest, and had an air of "I'm in charge".

"Great!" Wang Dong's eyes lit up, his light blue hair swayed, and he was so happy he almost jumped up.

"And what about me? And what about me?"

The petite Xiao Xiao quickly joined in, blinking her big eyes, "Sect Master, I want to join the Tang Sect too! I want to learn those amazing footwork techniques!"

"Don't worry, don't worry, everyone gets a share!"

Tang Ya waved her hand, beaming with joy, feeling that she, as the sect leader, was especially prestigious today.

Jiang Nannan sat next to her best friend with a faint smile, genuinely happy for Tang Ya.

She also joined the Tang Clan.

As for the reason...

Jiang Nannan would occasionally steal a glance in Tang Wulin's direction.

Xu Sanshi and Bei Bei had their arms around each other's shoulders; anyone who didn't know better would think they had some kind of special relationship.

This has attracted much attention from female fans of BL (Boys' Love).

Seeing this, Xu Sanshi proudly raised his chin: "See that, you stinky Beibei? That's my charm."

"So, are you going to join or not?" Beibei didn't answer, but raised an eyebrow with a smile on her face.

“Uh…” Xu Sanshi’s mouth twitched: “Although our family is a clan-based sect, I can’t make any rash conclusions about that. I’m afraid my dad will beat me to a pulp.”

"Don't worry about adding it, I promise I won't do it," Beibei said with a mischievous grin.

"You stinky Beibei! You bastard!"

Seeing that Beibei was taking advantage of him, Xu Sanshi got angry and jumped up, breathing on his good brother.

"Who are you calling a bastard?"

"Nonsense!" Xu Sanshi retorted angrily, "You're being called a bastard!"

"Hahaha, yes, it was that bastard who cursed me." Bei Bei laughed when she saw that Xu Sanshi had fallen for the trap.

Xu Sanshi wasn't stupid; he immediately realized what was happening, which made him furious.

Instantly, the house was filled with a pleasant atmosphere.

After an unknown amount of time, the lively atmosphere in the room finally quieted down.

Beibei looked at Huo Yuhao, who had been silent in the corner.

I seemed to sense a strong, subtle, and menacing aura emanating from him.

He rubbed his temples, looking somewhat worried.

Tang Wulin enjoyed the pleasant atmosphere in the room and ate a hearty meal.

Seeing that Beibei was unhappy, he asked.
