There were seven or eight boys sitting in a private room at the hot pot restaurant.

They all look to be about the same age.

The hot pot was steaming hot, and everyone's face was slightly sweaty.

There were empty beer cans on the table.

This newly opened hot pot restaurant is really good; the lamb and beef are cooked through in just three minutes in the pot.

Moreover, the service was exceptionally good.

Throughout the meal, waiters kept coming to change the hot towels.

Then help put the vegetables into the hot pot.

After a while, I came back to skim the foam off the hot pot.

They can't stop for a moment.

Just then, a customer came in celebrating a birthday. The waiters at the hot pot restaurant found out, and then a dozen or so people pushed a portable speaker playing "Happy Birthday" in front of the birthday person. Everyone then sang "Happy Birthday" to the birthday person.

It was quite lively.

"The service at this hot pot restaurant is really good. This is my first time eating at a place like this. Jingqing, you've really gone to great lengths to treat us to hot pot at such a nice place. I heard it's not cheap here."

"I'm glad everyone likes it."

This is all thanks to the good relationship between the physics training class and Yan Jingqing. Like the math training class, the physics training class has 15 students. And these students are all the boys in the physics training class.

Then another boy suddenly spoke up.

"Jing Qing, you're amazing! You got first place again in the monthly physics competition."

"You flatter me. Everyone did well on this exam."

Yan Jingqing replied politely.

"Jingqing, don't be modest. You signed up for both the math and physics competitions and still managed to get first place. We're all so envious of you. You're the only one in our school to do that."

Yan Jingqing smiled but didn't say anything.

Perhaps it was because of the drink, but the boy gradually became more talkative.

"However, I'll let you in on a little secret: the most popular girl in our school is also coming to the physics tutoring class."

"Who did you say it was?"

Another boy asked.

"Of course, it's our school's goddess, Su Ya!"

Upon hearing this name, Yan Jingqing almost dropped his chopsticks.

However, he managed to cover it up very well.

So he asked, as if it were a casual question.

"Even Mr. He hasn't announced it, how do you know?"

As soon as Professor He arrived, Principal Wang officially announced that Professor He would be in charge of all future physics competitions. Professor He was a very authoritative figure, so no one dared not submit their applications.

Then the boy who had spoken earlier continued.

"It was quite an accident. I went to Professor He's office today, and the door wasn't closed properly. I overheard Professor He on the phone, asking Su Ya if she was participating in the physics competition. He also mentioned attending a training course. But I didn't listen too much and left. Eavesdropping isn't a good thing. If Professor He finds out, I'll be in big trouble. Don't betray me!"

"If you say that, then it's probably true."

Another classmate chimed in.

"Wow, Goddess Su. I heard from my classmates at the math Olympiad training class that Goddess Su never goes to the math Olympiad training class, but she is so amazing that she got first place in the last monthly exam."

"You've heard about it? You forgot that Jing Qing also attended a math training class. Isn't he the one who knows the most about this, right, Jing Qing?"

"Yes, she only took one monthly exam. Last time she came in first and I came in second. We were 0.5 points apart, but she got a perfect score."

Yan Jingqing wasn't embarrassed at all; he didn't think it would be shameful to fail the exam as well as Su Ya. In his opinion, Su Ya was truly exceptional.

"She's really strong, but no one can shake Jing Qing's number one position."

Another student flattered him.

"You flatter me. But she is indeed very strong."

When Yan Jingqing said this, it came from the bottom of his heart.

It seems their connection hasn't ended yet.

He still has a chance.

This is an opportunity given to him by God.

This was the first time Yan Jingqing had ever fallen for a girl.

No girl had ever moved or fascinated him so much.

This time, he was determined to win.

Inside the hall, Su Ya and her group even ordered fruit wine.

They said that since everyone is an adult, they should give it a try.

Bai Xiao also jokingly said that he couldn't hold his liquor and would be out after just one drink, but the others didn't believe him.

This is just fruit wine, unlike other alcoholic beverages, it doesn't contain much alcohol at all.

They chatted happily, each adding their own comment.

For some reason, Bai Xiao suddenly picked up the fruit wine in front of her and drank it all in one gulp, then said, "Sister Ya, Lu Yichen, what you did was really unfair. You kept such an important matter from us for so long."

"And you, Lu Yichen, are we still good brothers?"

After saying that, he collapsed drunk on the table.

Bai Xiao's alcohol tolerance is so low, it's obvious he's had too much to drink.

This really is the kind of person who gets knocked out after just one drink.

It truly lives up to its reputation.

He got drunk so suddenly.

Then the others saw Li Zhenfeng suddenly stand up.

"Sister Ya, Brother Lu, Lin Shan, I'm full. You guys continue. I'll take Bai Xiao home."

Seeing this, Lin Shan also got up to escort Bai Xiao back.

"No need, Lin Shan, you continue eating. You've come all this way, I'm already full. I'll go see her off."

"Okay, then please be careful."

Suya spoke.

Lin Shan also remembered to give it away.

Lu Yichen quickly said, "Lin Shan, the pulled noodles you ordered will be served soon. Are you sure you don't want to eat them?"

"Eat, eat, eat! I heard that their noodle maker dances while pulling the noodles, and he's amazing at it. There are so many videos of him doing it on Douyin. I never imagined that this restaurant would actually open in Kyoto; I heard it originated in the south."

Lin Shan sat down as soon as she heard about food.

Li Zhenfeng helped Bai Xiao leave.

Su Ya and Lu Yichen exchanged a glance; Li Zhenfeng seemed a bit off.

Although schools explicitly prohibit early romantic relationships, very few people actually follow through.

"Sister Ya, let me toast you. Thank you so much for today."

Suya picked up a glass of fruit wine and drank it as well. The wine was a mixture of various fruit flavors, sweet with a hint of alcohol.

You yourself have worked very hard.

"Thank you, Sister Ya."

"The training course will be very stressful. If anything happens, please let me know."

"Sister Ya, don't worry. Don't forget, I used to be the tyrant of Kyoto."

If Lu Yichen hadn't mentioned it, Su Ya would have completely forgotten.

In the past, no one would have imagined that this person, whose eyes are now squinting with happiness, was once the tyrant of Kyoto, and that Su Ya was the one who dealt with him.

Thinking back to that time, it seems like it flew by.

This shop doesn't close until 2 a.m.

Moreover, the later it gets, the more people come to eat hot pot.

Seeing that they had almost finished eating and it was getting late, the group prepared to go home.

Downstairs at the hot pot restaurant, Lu Yichen went to pay the bill.

Su Ya and Lin Shan waited outside the door.

Suddenly, someone walked up to Suya.

"Hello, Su Ya, it's nice to see you again."
