“Young man, we’re here.”
“Hmm? Oh.”
Chu Qing scratched his head. He didn’t expect to be home already.
As soon as he returned home, Chu Qing smelled the fragrance of food. His father had already prepared dinner.
“Chu Qing, why are you back so late again?”
“Oh… 1 went to my classmate’s house.”
Chu Qing’s father nagged him again.
“A classmate’s house? Don’t tell me it’s a girl’s house again… Sigh, I’ve already told you…”
Before his father could finish speaking, Chu Qing had already closed the door.
Fine, since 1 can’t afford to offend him, I’m just going to hide.
In the end, his father compromised.
His father shook his head helplessly as he said something about how men change drastically when they grow up and how men become disobedient when they grow up. Chu Qing could only chuckle and lower his head to eat.
After dinner, he returned to the room. His sister did not get into trouble today. It was probably because of Chu Qing’s warning yesterday. However, he was not sure how long this warning could last for his sister…
It was another night of cultivation. Other than cultivating, Chu Qing also carefully studied the poison mark on his left hand. In the end, he could only roughly conclude that this mark was not beneficial to him. This was a stubborn energy similar to a curse. At least, with his current cultivation, it could not be removed.
It seemed that the ancient martial artists of this world were not simple.
Chu Qing smiled calmly. Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration. He remembered that when he was cultivating previously, he had heard of a medicinal pill that seemed… to be able to remove this curse.
It seemed that it was time to find the cultivators of this world. However, he did not know if there were any alchemists among the cultivators of this world.
The next day at school.
“Chu Qing, let’s grab a bite.”
Lin Dong said. Chu Qing was stunned for a moment before nodding.
In the last class of the morning, which was physics, Chu Qing’s usual diligent attitude disappeared due to boredom. He ended up sleeping through two classes and even played with his phone during one of them.
Of course, he wasn’t studying for the rest of the lesson. Instead, he played a game of passing notes with the girls around him. Although most of the girls wrote him love letters, Chu Qing still enjoyed it.
He was simply reliving the beautiful memories of his student days…
“What do you want to eat?”
“Whatever you want.”
As Lin Dong spoke, he wanted to hug Chu Qing’s arm again, but the latter dodged him again.
This is f*cking hard to look at.
Chu Qing didn’t want to become like the boys around him!
“Come on, Tang Ziyan! Come on, Tang Ziyan!”
“He’s so handsome!”
“Tang Ziyan!”
The stunned Chu Qing came to a halt. This time, Lin Dong finally took advantage of the situation and held his arm, looking elated.
However, in the next moment, Chu Qing pulled his arm away. He thought for a long time and finally remembered this name.
Its her!
Tang Ziyan!
“What’s wrong?”
Lin Dong looked at Chu Qing in confusion. Although Chu Qing had been acting strangely for the past two days, he was still very loyal to him as usual.
“It’s nothing. Lin Dong, go and grab a bite first. I’m afraid 1 won’t be able to eat with you today.”
As Chu Qing spoke, he ran toward the crowd. That was where the school’s basketball court was.
“Tang Ziyan! Tang Ziyan!”
Chu Qing squeezed through the crowd with difficulty. These boys seemed to have gone crazy. They looked like the girls in his previous life who were crazy about idols and crazily cheered for the people they liked.
Its really her!
Chu Qing was a little confused, excited, and hesitant.
Tang Ziyan was his first love in high school. After three hundred years in the cultivation world, Chu Qing had almost forgotten what she looked like. He wondered what she looked like now.
At this moment, Tang Ziyan was playing basketball, going one-on-one against another girl.
Probably because girls’ stamina was generally better than boys’, basketball had become a sport exclusive to women.
Tang Ziyan was like a swift leopard. She made three consecutive feints, shaking the defending girl until she almost fell to the ground. Then, she took a step forward and jumped for a slam dunk!
“Tang Ziyan!”
“Tang Ziyan!”
As expected… she was completely different from the memories of his previous life…
Chu Qing held his forehead and felt a little helpless. In that case, it was better not to acknowledge each other, lest both parties were embarrassed.
Chu Qing was about to turn around when a refreshing voice suddenly stopped him.
“Hey.”
Chu Qing ignored the voice and continued walking forward.
“Wait!”
Seeing that Chu Qing was about to leave, Tang Ziyan ran two steps forward and placed his hand on Chu Qing’s shoulder.
“Have we… met somewhere before?”
Tang Ziyan asked.
The surrounding crowd was in an uproar!
“Heavens! Am 1 seeing things? The self-proclaimed aloof and cool school “hunk” Tang
Zhiyan actually took the initiative to start a conversation!”
“That’s right, and she struck up a conversation in such an old-fashioned way!”
“Wait a minute… This man seems to be the school belle of our school. Chu Qing!”
Chu Qing was helpless and could only turn around to look at Tang Ziyan. Tang Ziyan looked at him seriously, her eyes filled with curiosity.
She smiled bitterly. Perhaps Tang Ziyan didn’t even know why she was holding him back…
“We don’t seem to know each other.”
Chu Qing slapped her hand away, but his heart skipped a beat and his breathing stopped.
Maybe… I still can’t let her go.
“No, we’ve definitely met before.”
She still hadn’t changed… This stubborn look was exactly the same as in his previous life.
Chu Qing shrugged with an undeniable expression..
