The warm winter sunlight sprinkled down, emitting colorful brilliance in his eyes. With his strength at this level, his thoughts moved and his heart sensed, making him nearly omniscient within a certain range.
Sensing the images flashing through his mind, Chen Shouyi's expression slightly stalled, appearing sowhat lost, then he stepped forward to walk.
...
University is a ti when hormones are flying high, but unfortunately in a science and technology university like Zhonghai University of Technology, there are many wolves and few sheep, and even fewer beauties. Wu Wenbin went to great lengths to get on good terms with the roommate and managed to ask Zhang Xiaoyue out.
"I don't think I'll pass the martial arts exam this sester; my swordsmanship has always been weak," said Zhang Xiaoyue's roommate Zhou Min.
"I'm on thin ice too," Zhang Xiaoyue also expressed so distress. Her high school didn't emphasize martial arts and she had little interest in it. She only started cramming in the past few years.
"We can all exchange ideas when we have ti. My dad says I already have the strength of a martial artist now, and I'm planning to test for a Martial Artist Certificate during the winter break." He said with a light smile, the pimples on his face glowing with confident oiliness in the sunlight.
"Wow, that's aweso. So why didn't you apply to the Martial Arts Academy back then?" Zhou Min exaggerated.
Wu Wenbin glanced at Zhang Xiaoyue, noticing she was rely pursing her lips and smiling, causing him to feel slightly deflated: "I wanted to, but my dad wouldn't let , worried I'd get into trouble."
"Is your dad a martial artist too?" Zhou Min asked curiously.
"He's a great martial artist," Wu Wenbin said casually.
Zhou Min was genuinely shocked, originally having the intention to matchmake the two, now completely leaning towards him.
Despite the current explosion in the number of martial artists, their proportion is still pathetically small. Great martial artists, especially civilian ones, remain as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns; the whole Zhonghai might not have over a hundred of them, each being a big figure to ordinary people.
Having finished flaunting, Wu Wenbin habitually checked Zhang Xiaoyue's reaction, only to find she already stopped and was staring dazedly at a handso young man, lost in mutual gaze.
He imdiately sensed a threat, stepped forward, and asked with a frown of displeasure: "Who are you?"
Chen Shouyi glanced at him.
Wu Wenbin's heart suddenly skipped a beat, a stagnant pressure washed over him, his legs went weak, nearly kneeling to the ground. His spirit was frantically warning him, as if facing not a person, but a primordial giant beast.
"This has nothing to do with you, you can leave!" Chen Shouyi said.
"Oh." Wu Wenbin responded instinctively, then hurriedly said respectfully, "Yes, senior."
He then turned around and left without looking back, cleanly and efficiently, without any hesitation. Although he often sparred with his father and had seen his father explode, even at full burst, his father's aura couldn't match this individual's one part in eleven, even one part in a hundred.
This is definitely a Martial Master Level presence.
Such a presence is soone even his father would not dare offend, let alone himself.
Just why does he look sowhat familiar, like he's seen him sowhere before?
...
It was obvious the two knew each other, and Zhou Min curiously gazed at the handso youth opposite, unable to take her eyes off him, her heart thumping wildly: "Xiaoyue, who is this?"
He's really so handso, how could anyone be this handso?
"I'm her boyfriend. Let introduce myself; I'm Chen Shouyi," Chen Shouyi said with a smile.
"Oh, I'm Zhou Min, Zhang Xiaoyue's classmate. Xiaoyue, you're really not being fair, having a boyfriend and not ntioning it earlier." Zhou Min said under irresistible charm, thinking if she had known Zhang Xiaoyue had such a handso boyfriend, she wouldn't have tried to matchmake. Just as she spoke, her body felt like it had been struck by lightning, her eyes widened: "Chen... Chen Shouyi?"
Chen Shouyi nodded and then ignored her, looking at Zhang Xiaoyue, noticing she seed thinner, her face no longer had the innocence from before.
"You... have you been alright these years?"
She lowered her head in silence, her eyes fixed on the ground, unable to raise her head, tears falling uncontrollably, speaking softly: "Why are you still looking for ?"
"That year, my family got involved with a cult and left in a hurry; I didn't know your address, so I didn't get to inform you before leaving. You can't bla for that." Chen Shouyi explained, thinking she held resentnt for his sudden departure.
Zhang Xiaoyue couldn't help asking, "Your family didn't get into trouble, did they?"
"No, I was already a martial artist then, those cults couldn't do anything to ."
Zhou Min stared wide-eyed at the two, speechless with shock. She had already recognized who he was.
This is simply breaking news!
Her mouth was incredibly tight.
The two chatted a few sentences, and the atmosphere turned sowhat silent, unsure of what to say next. They hadn't seen each other in three years, and both had beco sowhat unfamiliar, no longer harmonious as before.
"I should go." Zhang Xiaoyue said with her head down, looking at her feet, having so self-esteem issues. She was just an ordinary woman, how could she match the now lofty General Manager Chen?
"Why leave, I just saw a cinema down the street, let's go sit together." Chen Shouyi stepped forward and grabbed Zhang Xiaoyue's hand, assertively.
Zhang Xiaoyue panicked, instinctively trying to break free, but found his grip was like steel, completely unyielding. She hurriedly held onto Zhou Min's clothes next to her for help: "Zhou Min, co along."
Chen Shouyi glanced at her classmate, causing Zhou Min to panic and break away. She also wanted to go but being the third wheel for General Manager Chen brought imnse pressure, her heart couldn't handle it: "Ah, I... I just rembered I need to revise for exams, they're coming up soon, you... you two go ahead."
After Zhou Min left, Zhang Xiaoyue felt like a lamb about to fall into a tiger's maw, looking helpless and weak, not daring to et Chen Shouyi's eyes, her face flushing like a fever.
"Where are you studying now?"
"Zhonghai University of Technology." Zhang Xiaoyue said weakly.
"Why choose this school?" Chen Shouyi asked, a girl attending such a school seed incongruous.
"I didn't have enough scores." Zhang Xiaoyue lowered her head again.
Chen Shouyi realized he asked a foolish question, quickly comforting: "It's good. I wouldn't be able to get in myself."
Zhang Xiaoyue said nothing more, lowering her head in silence.
The cinema was not far, a few steps and they arrived. There were quite a few people waiting inside. Chen Shouyi inquired about the tickets and found out all were sold out for the next three hours; only the free screenings had seats. He didn't mind, as long as there was a movie to watch.
Zhang Xiaoyue hesitated, but finally said nothing.
Chen Shouyi bought a bag of popcorn, headed to the screening room. It hadn't started yet, and people inside were sparse. He pulled Zhang Xiaoyue to find a seat at the back and sat down.
"I haven't watched a movie in over three years!" Chen Shouyi said with a smile.
"Movies nowadays aren't very good." Zhang Xiaoyue whispered.
They didn't wait long before the movie started. As Chen Shouyi watched, his smile gradually faded.
...
"And now, let's welco General Manager Chen, everyone."
"Hi, hi, hi… thank you all for taking the ti to listen to my speech..."
...
"This really isn't very good." Chen Shouyi said with an embarrassed smile.
"Pfft," Zhang Xiaoyue couldn't help but laugh: "Actually, it's okay. Our school has watched the martial arts class several tis."
