Chapter 138 Chapter 138

Being praised, Luo Shizhen couldn't help but give Sui An a big smile.

This was a habit he had developed in the Awakener School. He didn't know when it started, but every time he finished training, Teacher Sui would praise his progress that day.

“Thank you, Teacher Sui!”

Sui An had previously said that he was no longer an instructor, and asked Luo Shizhen to call him by his name.

But Luo Shizhen had been taught to be polite since he was a child. He had called Sui An "Teacher Sui" so many times with admiration, and he always felt uncomfortable when he was asked to change.

This is Teacher Sui. He was too embarrassed to call her by her name.

Sui An remained calm and never corrected Luo Shizhen's nickname, which he couldn't change.

But this doesn't mean he doesn't want to change this name.

Teacher, after all, is like a taboo word.

For a respectful and obedient student like Luo Shizhen, it was an insurmountable chasm.

Sui An's eyes seemed to be locked on Luo Shizhen, and he said with a smile as if jokingly:

"Still calling me Teacher Sui? Now you should call me Captain."

Luo Shizhen suddenly realized that he had passed the assessment and became a member of Silver Cocoon.

He became excited as he took the slow, slow shot. His face flushed slightly with excitement. As expected, he didn't resist at all. He looked at Sui An with sparkling eyes and shouted crisply:

"team leader!"

This was the first time he had a captain. The team he formed with Chu Xiao and the others before was a temporary team, so they didn't choose a captain.

Luo Shizhen felt a little novel and a little at ease.

Sui An smiled and rubbed his head.

He looked like a normal captain who was pleased with himself for having an excellent team member.

But Hua Yi on the side did not ignore the tenderness in his eyes.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and his original 70% certainty now became 100%.

Sui An really had some feelings about Luo Shizhen.

What about Luo Shizhen?

This young Purifier was now smiling happily at Sui An, who had ill intentions and wanted to take advantage of the young girl. His smile was full of intimacy.

Sui An rubbed his head, and he let him rub it, even unconsciously moving his body forward, as if he wanted to put his head into Sui An's hand.

Almost subconsciously, it was hard to tell whether it was instinct or the desire to compete, Hua Yi took a step forward and grabbed Luo Shizhen's arm.

Luo Shizhen has always been slow to react to physical contact, and he didn't react as much as other awakened people when he was pulled. He looked down at Hua Yi's hand in confusion, then looked up at Hua Yi's face.

"Teacher Hua, what's wrong?"

He didn't reject her approach, which made Hua Yi feel subtly better.

The man with blond hair and blue eyes was noble and reserved, and looked like the prince in the fairy tales that Luo Shizhen read as a child.

But being stared at by Luo Shizhen with those bright and clear dark eyes, Hua Yi didn't know what to say for a moment.

Are you trying to say, you should be careful of Sui An, this guy who wants to have sex with young girls?

What if Luo Shizhen actually didn’t see it at all?

By saying this, wouldn't he be reminding Luo Shizhen and potentially becoming an assist for Sui An?

Hua Yi was still hesitating when a slightly exhausted voice was heard from behind.

"Shi Zhen."

Luo Shizhen didn't need to turn around, he was surprised when he heard the voice: "Chu Xiao!"

He turned around and saw that it was indeed Chu Xiao, Xiao Shan and the others. They were all in a dishevel, with some even having torn cuffs, revealing wounds that were gradually healing. They must have just finished an assessment.

Luo Shizhen quickly ran over and helped Chu Xiao, who was covered in dust, brush himself off.

"How high did you fall? Your clothes are torn. Let's go to the infirmary."

Wen Hu, who was standing aside, was originally feeling listless. When he heard Luo Shizhen care about Chu Xiao so much, he immediately became even more listless.

He was more seriously injured than Chu Xiao, after all. Chu Xiao was a soldier. Although he couldn't fly, when he fell, he could create some ice cubes to cushion him.

Wen Hu is an atavistic awakener. Even if he uses his ability, it is just a person falling from the sky, transformed into a tiger falling from the sky.

Because the tiger is larger and heavier, the impact is even more severe.

Wen Hu schemingly showed off a long and thick tiger tail. He knew that Luo Shizhen always liked his tiger appearance, so he deliberately shook his tail to seduce the other party, and there was some grievance in his tone.

"Shi Zhen, I broke my leg, and Chu Xiao only had a few scratches. Why are you only looking at him and not me?"

When Luo Shizhen heard this, he realized that Wen Hu seemed to be the one who suffered the most, and he felt a little embarrassed.

The impression Chu Xiao gave him was that he was weak and easily injured. He was not as tough or healthy as him. It had become a habit for him to protect Chu Xiao since he was young.

As soon as he saw Chu Xiao injured, all his attention was drawn to him.

"I'm sorry, Wen Hu, I only saw Chu Xiao. Let's go to the infirmary together."

Wen Huhu’s tail stiffened.

He doesn't like seeing a doctor. If he had known this, he would have kept quiet. Wouldn't it be better for him to just be a dumb tiger?

Fortunately, Cheng Yunshao spoke up to smooth things over:

"We have all advanced and are now at level five. This injury can be repaired quickly. There is no need to waste medical resources."

Only then did Luo Shizhen realize that the Qi in their bodies seemed to be much stronger than before.

He was sincerely happy for his partners: "That's great, congratulations!"

The people who were congratulated did not show much joy on their faces.

They tried their best to kill Weird and force themselves to advance through actual combat. Wasn't it just to improve their strength as quickly as possible so that they could become teammates with Luo Shizhen?

But it's still too late.

Even Xiao Shan, who was always good-tempered, felt a little disappointed and patted Luo Shizhen on the shoulder:

"I said I was your big brother and wanted to protect you, but now I can't even be on the same team with you."

Luo Shizhen looked at him with the same admiration as always, but after hearing this, he felt a little confused.

"Since we're not on the same team, can't you be my big brother and protect me?"

Xiao Shan was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

He shook his head: "Yeah, I was overthinking it."

"You kid." He hugged Luo Shizhen and said, "Although we are not in the same team anymore, if you encounter any difficulties or have any problems that you can't solve, feel free to come to me."

I don't know what's wrong with Shi Zhen's brain. He is obviously already a seventh-level awakener, and he can pass such a difficult test smoothly, but he still looks like he did when he first entered school.

Luo Shizhen didn't realize that Xiao Shan had thought so much. He only saw that his elder brother was still willing to protect him.

Being hugged by his big brother who was tall and strong and had a high body temperature, he felt a strong sense of security slowly rising.

Chu Xiao didn't say anything the whole time, but when he saw Luo Shizhen smiling foolishly while being hugged, the anger that had been pent up in his heart seemed to dissipate unconsciously.

This anger is directed at myself.

I hate myself for not being strong enough and for not having worked twice as hard before.

But, he should be happy for Shi Zhen.

Shi Zhen has a bright future and has joined the best team. The members of the Silver Cocoon are all guardians with excellent talents and strength. With them, Shi Zhen can get better development and will have safer protection.

Chu Xiao walked over and held Luo Shizhen's hand.

The warm touch is the same as always, just like Luo Shizhen, warm and soft, making people reluctant to let go once they hold it.

He took a deep breath and spoke a long sentence, which was rare for him:

"Shi Zhen, when you enter the silver cocoon, be careful to protect yourself. If anything goes wrong, contact Instructor Sui immediately."

He and Shi Zhen grew up together and they experienced a lot. Although Luo Shizhen was sometimes clumsy and seemed to be born with a lack of emotional connection, Chu Xiao always believed that as long as he waited patiently, one day, this stupid stone would come to his senses.

But now, before Shi Zhen could come to his senses, they were about to separate.

Of course they won't stop seeing each other forever, but having lost the opportunity to develop feelings with Shi Zhen, will he still have a chance?

After all, I still feel unwilling.

Chu Xiao even looked at Luo Shizhen with some hope, hoping to see reluctance in his eyes, even if it was only a little bit.

Luo Shizhen's pair of bright black eyes were still as clear as ever.

He is always like this, clumsy and slow, and looks easy to bully. When he gets along with others, people who are not familiar with him will subconsciously think that Luo Shi is the one who should worry about being abandoned.

But when you get close to him, you will find that he is the one who will not be affected at all whether people are around or not.

At this moment, Luo Shizhen was also in a serious manner, and he reminded Chu Xiao:

"You too, eat well and call me if you have any questions..."

Xiao Shan and others couldn't figure out anything, but Chu Xiao recognized it at a glance. This was what Grandma Luo always told Luo Shizhen every time he was about to go to school.

Shi Zhen's insensitivity to separation made him choose to imitate the person he trusted most.

This is certainly not the way to like someone. Chu Xiao likes him and knows what it means to like someone.

He suddenly became ruthless, pulled Luo Shizhen out of Xiao Shan's arms, and hugged the young man.

Tight, like a python twisting its body.

This young man who always suppressed himself and looked indifferent, now revealed intense emotions and predatory colors, and whispered in Luo Shizhen's ear:

"Shi Zhen, will you miss me?"

Very close.

Luo Shizhen could clearly feel the burning sensation from Chu Xiao coming from his ears.

Growing up together, Chu Xiao, who was always sickly and had a stern face in my impression, seemed to have changed.

Luo Shizhen was a little confused.

The distance was too close. The Qi and slight pollution on Chu Xiao's body made him unable to resist his instinct to get close to people, and he took the initiative to move closer.

"Of course I'll miss you."

He instinctively spoke his true feelings: "Chu Xiao, are you upset about not passing the Silver Cocoon test? If you continue like this, there will be another test next year. You can definitely pass it when you take it again!"

Luo Shizhen could really understand the feeling of failing an exam, and he gently patted Chu Xiao's back as if he was coaxing a child.

The reluctance in Chu Xiao's heart finally dissipated as he patted his back slowly.

"Okay, I'll take the test again next year."

He gently let go of Luo Shizhen and looked at the young Purifier who had lost his childishness and looked like a guardian.

Still haven't figured it out.

This made Chu Xiao feel a little melancholy, but also a little relieved.

Shi Zhen didn't understand him today, so naturally he wouldn't understand others either.

He still has a chance.

"Shi Zhen, wait for me."

Luo Shizhen nodded happily: "Okay, I'll wait for you! Then we will be teammates again!"

After that, of course, I said goodbye to the other teammates one by one again.

Everyone was in a bad mood, so they just said a few words and prepared to separate. Before Chu Xiao got in the car, he glanced at the tree not far away.

Qin Yinian was standing there.

The awakened person's extremely strong eyesight allows Chu Xiao to easily see that he is looking at Shi Zhen who is holding the spirit and talking.

Qin Yinian felt a little complicated.

He had an arrogant personality. When they first entered the school, he only stayed close to Luo Shizhen, but was not very proactive.

Shi Tou was clumsy and stupid, unable to react even when harsh words were spoken to him. He was confident that even if he did nothing, Luo Shizhen would be able to get close to him.

If it were someone else, it might be right to think so.

But there is no if. Luo Shizhen has more and more people around him, and Qin Yinian has completely lost the chance to get close to him again.

He just continued to watch from a distance, telling himself that when they changed dormitories, Luo Shizhen would still be in the same dormitory with him.

By then, if he snatches Luo Shizhen away, it will be useless even if Chu Xiao is angry to death.

He was always so confident that things would develop as he wanted.

As a result, the situation changed and Qin Yinian was unable to wait until the school changed its dormitories, and this class of students graduated early.

Luo Shizhen had completely forgotten his old classmate Qin Yinian. When they met, he would just nod as a greeting and would soon turn his attention to Xiao Shan, Lu Qiujin and others.

By now, there was no room for Qin Yinian to fit in beside him.

Luo Shizhen took the little elf into the car, just like when they first got on the car from school, but that time, he was in the car, mocking Luo Shizhen for being a country bumpkin.

This time, Luo Shizhen was already used to riding in a car, so he didn't need to open the door. Sui An opened the door naturally, watched him get in, and then went to the driver's seat himself.

Luo Shizhen didn't seem to be overly excited as if it was his first time riding in a car. Instead, he looked down at the little elf with a gentle look on his face.

The car drove past Qin Yinian, and he saw Luo Shizhen like that through the car window.

Luo Shizhen's attention was all on Dahuang. He didn't look up and didn't notice Qin Yinian outside.

Watching the car go away, I felt a vague sense of emptiness in my heart.

It was obvious that he was the first one to see Luo Shizhen at the beginning.

If only he hadn't been so arrogant, hadn't been so condescending and mocked Luo Shizhen, hadn't been so mean...

So, would everything be different?
