"It's so hot... I'm so sleepy, I don't want to go."

Gu Ke walked downstairs with a sense of despair. Xia Shizhao looked at her swaying body and was a little worried, so he grabbed her and led the way.

"Wow, this feels so good."

Gu Ke held Xia Shizhao's slightly cool hand and exclaimed, "It's so cool, I love it."

After saying that, he gave a lewd laugh. Shi Zhao's hands felt so comfortable. Not only were they cool, but his skin was also smooth and slippery, like jade.

"you·····"

Xia Shizhao sighed helplessly, "Tone down that expression, it's so lewd."

"Waaaah, Shi Zhao actually called me a pervert! I'm so sad~"

Gu Ke covered her chest with her free hand, feigning pain, and said, "I'm so heartbroken."

Unable to bear watching, Xia Shizhao gave a disgusted look: "Ew...you're sad, aren't you~"

"Aren't you going to try to comfort me at all?"

Gu Ke stared wide-eyed at Xia Shizhao in disbelief, as if he were a heartless man. "I'm so sad. I only see the new love laughing, but I don't see the old love crying~ Waaaaah."

Yu Luqin was waiting downstairs with breakfast for the two of them. Seeing them bickering, she muttered, "What do you mean by 'new love laughs, old love cries'? I'm the one who should be crying, okay?"

Hehe~

Gu Ke chuckled, seemingly a little embarrassed.

"Shi Zhao, I bought you breakfast. Gu, what would you like to eat? Here are a few servings, take your pick."

"Oh! Luqin, you're so kind. Let me see what's there."

Gu Ke didn't hesitate or refuse, and walked confidently to Yu Luqin's side. Looking at the breakfast for ten people, she fell into deep thought, and touched her chin, "Is that yours?"

"Hmm? They're all mine. I bought one of each. You can choose whichever you like. Zhao Zhao, you like soup dumplings."

"Thank you, Qin."

Xia Shizhao continued his breakfast with a smile.

"We're like family."

"I'll eat this."

Gu Ke pointed to the steamed dumplings and, watching Yu Luqin start showing off her food, whispered to Xia Shizhao, "Those alphas can really eat."

Xia Shizhao's lips curled up slightly as he whispered to her, "She's not even eating much. When she first differentiated, one morning she ate all the food in my fridge at my house. Then she didn't eat anything all day, but at night she secretly ate everything edible in the fridge. The next day, her grandma thought a thief had broken in and called the police. Only then did she timidly admit that she had eaten it all, hahahahaha."

"This is so interesting, hahaha! What else? What else?"

"Another time, she went for a morning run in the mountains. She suddenly got hungry, picked a fruit and ate it. Then, late at night, she started glowing a greenish light. It was hilarious..."

After finishing her breakfast, Yu Luqin leisurely appeared behind the two of them. "When you two are cricketing at me, please stand a little further away, I can hear you."

Xia Shizhao remained expressionless, smiling as he looked at her. Gu Ke could hardly suppress the urge to smile. She patted Yu Luqin's shoulder, "I thought you were quite composed, but I didn't expect..."

"Do you want to hear Shi Zhao's song?"

Yu Luqin whispered something mysteriously in Gu Ke's ear.

Xia Shizhao recalled the stupid things he had done in the past two years, and upon thinking about it, he realized, "Goodness, quite a few!" His cheeks flushed slightly. "Luqin!!!! Don't tell anyone!!!"

"Hehe," Yu Luqin grabbed Gu Ke and started running, "Let me tell you, Shi Zhao is a genius at potion making, she loves researching weird and wonderful potions! Once she made a glowing potion, intending to grow a glowing plant, but she drank it by accident, and it stayed glowing longer than me, like a big light bulb!!"

"Hey! This potion is so interesting!!!"

"And also... the first time she cooked..."

"Yu Luqin! Shut up!!!!"

Xia Shizhao caught up with the person, panting, and found her apologizing. When he got closer, he froze, a deep-seated fear gripping him. His rosy face, flushed from exercise, turned deathly pale.

He stood frozen in place, too afraid to move.

Yu Luqin was very excited to see her idol, but she was running so fast that she didn't watch where she was going and bumped into her idol. Now she is apologizing profusely.

"Shi Zhao!"

Having received her idol's forgiveness, Yu Luqin waved to Xia Shizhao. Upon hearing the familiar name, Ye Qiuling subconsciously glanced in her direction, her eyes trembling slightly as she stared intently at Xia Shizhao in the distance.

They exchanged a glance, Xia Shizhao swallowed hard, forced himself to calm down, and walked over, keeping his head down and not daring to look at Ye Qiuling. "Greetings, General Ye."

"Hello, what's your name?"

Ye Qiuling couldn't take her eyes off her, greedily gazing at her hair.

"········"

Xia Shizhao didn't answer. Yu Luqin noticed her unease and chuckled as she pulled her behind her to block Ye Qiuling's view. "General Ye, Shizhao is so excited to see you that she can't speak properly. I'm really sorry, we still have to go to the assembly. My apologies."

Gu Ke also grabbed Xia Shizhao's hand and ran wildly, disappearing from Ye Qiuling's sight.

Ye Qiuling's hands, hanging by her sides, tightened slightly. She squinted at Xia Shizhao's back, a hint of obsession and madness flashing in her eyes.

She wouldn't mistake it; the taste and appearance were exactly the same. It didn't matter if she didn't admit it, and she didn't care why her age was the same as before.

Ye Qiuling went mad the moment she learned that everyone connected to Xia Shizhao had forgotten him.

Xia Shizhao, we have a long future ahead of us.

"Zhaozhao? Are you alright?"

His face was very pale. Xia Shizhao lowered his head and remained silent. He was led to a seat by the two people without saying a word. He shook his head to indicate that he was fine, but his eyes were fixed on the tips of his shoes.

Why was Ye Qiuling staring at her for so long? Does she still have her memories?

But how could that be...?

They clearly had no memory of the wanted poster from back then, so why did Ye Qiuling still remember it?

Ye Qiuling, who still has memories... Xia Shizhao clenched his fists, felt a chill run through his body, and suddenly felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, his whole body began to ache.

Yu Luqin and Gu Ke held her hands worriedly, looking at her with concern. Feeling the warmth of her palms, Xia Shizhao slowly came to her senses. She forced a smile and said, "I'm sorry to have worried you."

Are you feeling unwell?

Xia Shizhao shook his head. "I just thought of some unpleasant memories, but I'm fine now. Let's watch the performance."

Looking at the stage in front, Xia Shizhao realized that it seemed to be a fighting arena, a mecha competition arena.

A thin protective shield enveloped the arena. After the martial arts performers left the stage, two mechs were taken onto the stage by senior students from the mech department. They bowed to the freshmen and began a cool battle.

The audience erupted in cheers, shouting encouragement to defeat their opponents.

Gu Ke and the others gradually focused their attention on the mecha battle. Xia Shizhao leaned back in her chair and sighed softly, rubbing her temples. Ye Qiuling's shadow in her heart was still too great. Originally, she didn't react much when Ye Qiuling was mentioned, but who knew that today's unexpected meeting would still make her remember Ye Qiuling. The moment their eyes met, all her fears were exposed from the depths of her heart.

Do you hate Ye Qiuling?

Xia Shizhao confessed that it was impossible not to hate, after all, there was already an indelible psychological shadow.

Her gaze unconsciously drifted to the honor roll on the side, where the name Ye Qiuling occupied the first line. It was filled with her astonishing achievements. Four years ago, she suddenly appeared and joined the army. She led her team on the front line to frantically drive out the Zerg and maintain the stability of various planets. She was a famous hero in the interstellar space and an idol to many people.

Mulian Star was one of the planets guarded by Ye Qiuling's troops. She was able to stay on Mulian Star without being harmed by the Zerg, and she had to thank her for that.

It seems I need to confront my deepest fears, otherwise it would be too suspicious if I froze up whenever I saw her.

As he watched the exciting battle below, chin in hand, Xia Shizhao gradually became engrossed in the spectacle.

On the observation platform to the side, a burning gaze was fixed on her without moving.

After the event ended, Xia Shizhao listened to Yu Luqin and Gu Ke chattering about how cool the mecha was, and he always felt like someone was watching him. When he looked around, the gazes that were watching him disappeared instantly.

What happened to Shizhao?

Xia Shizhao frowned uncomfortably. "I always feel like someone is watching me."

"It's perfectly normal. You're prettier than many omegas, so it's not surprising that people are secretly looking at you."

The oblivious Yu Luqin waved her hand.

"Keep your voice down, or I'll want to crawl into a hole if someone hears you."

"Luqin is telling the truth, Zhaozhao is prettier than many omegas."

Gu Ke's tone was very sincere.

Xia Shizhao changed the subject, "Don't we need to go to our class to pick up our things later?"

"Yes, we need to change into our uniforms for class."

After saying that, Yu Luqin stretched and pointed to her dormitory building, "I've arrived, I'm going back now."

"good."

Gu Ke turned her head and said, "Let's go back and change our clothes quickly."

"OK."
