They were jogging when they suddenly heard a scream from the forest.

The birds resting in the shade were startled and flew away in all directions.

One unfortunate student was given a lump of nature's product by a bird, and in despair, sped up and left the group to wash his face.

The person who had just screamed let out a devastating roar, and the entire forest seemed to tremble:

"Which bastard stole my medicinal herbs?! I'm going to kill him!! You damned little thief, you better not get caught by me!!!"

The sound echoed through the forest. Xia Shizhao, who was running, felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing the familiar voice. Could it be? These medicinal herbs were grown by Fu Ziran?!

My God!

We've gotten into trouble!

Ye Qiuling, who was watching them run from the side, yawned expressionlessly, raised her eyelids to look at Fu Ziran who was sprinting towards her, and asked casually, "What's wrong?"

"My medicinal herbs have been stolen! Do you know who it was? Do you know who it was? Do you know who it was?!"

A month ago, Fu Ziran painstakingly planted medicinal herbs, checking on them every day to catch insects. But when it was time to harvest them, he found only a few plants left. Fu Ziran went into a frenzy, staring at Ye Qiuling with a ferocious expression.

"...Although I got back late," Ye Qiuling shook her head honestly, "you know, I don't recognize so many strange and unusual medicinal herbs."

As soon as she finished speaking, Fu Ziran turned to look at the student beside her, her eyes blazing with anger.

All the students froze, then shook their heads in unison, "It's not us, it's not us! None of us are from the School of Pharmacy! We don't even know what medicinal herbs are!"

Xia Shizhao, the only student from the School of Pharmacy, trembled with fear.

There was only one thought in my mind.

Oh no, I've been labeled a thief.

If I had known it was planted by someone else, I wouldn't have picked it.

"We're out of medicinal herbs, I'll send people to look for them."

Ye Qiuling crossed her arms and leaned against the tree.

"Okay, Mint... Alright, that's all for now, thanks for your hard work~"

Upon hearing the names of hundreds of medicinal herbs, Ye Qiuling's eyes twitched slightly. If she hadn't been with Xia Shizhao yesterday, she would have truly believed it.

"Alright, that's all, ten plants in total."

"Okay, I'll have someone deliver it later." Ye Qiuling nodded in agreement.

Fu Ziran left satisfied, her anger subsided, humming a song as she departed.

On the other side, Xia Shizhao, having finished his training, glanced at the compression bag with eyes full of reluctance.

My little herb babies, I'll be sending you back to your beloved owners in a bit.

Having shaken off Fu Ziran, Ye Qiuling found her spot and walked over to her. "Keep the things; I replaced them for her."

"Um?"

Xia Shizhao blinked. "A fool wouldn't take advantage of a good deal, especially one that belongs to Ye Qiuling."

She obediently replied, "Thank you, General."

Distant yet restrained.

The pleasant conversation last night seemed to be just a hallucination for Ye Qiuling.

Ye Qiuling felt a slight tightness in her chest, gave a soft "hmm," and left.

Xia Shizhao shook her head as she watched Ye Qiuling leave. She should probably avoid contact with Ye Qiuling.

A shout came from beside my ear.

"Hey! Xia Shizhao! Yu He wants us to go play by the river!" The voice grew louder as Liu Ruxuan quickly ran to her side. "Come on, let's catch some fish to eat!"

"well?"

The next second, Liu Ruxuan dragged him away and they ran.

When they reached the riverbank, they found the rest of the team there. In the river, a group of boys wearing boxer shorts were bending over, catching fish and throwing them one by one.

The girl next to her picked up the fish, gutted it, and handed it to Qingxi. The division of labor was clear and the process was orderly.

hiss……

Putting everything else aside, these alphas have really great bodies.

The average male model has the physique.

Look at that V-line, look at those abs.

Look at those thigh muscles.

Is this something you can watch for free?

The vivid and sensual scene left Xia Shizhao and Liu Ruxuan completely stunned.

A boy looked up and arrogantly tossed his head, grinning in a particularly lewd and wicked way. He even patted his own shapely buttocks with pride, thinking to himself how handsome he was and about to ask the guy next to him when he looked up and saw them.

His entire body went viral, he awkwardly gripped the ground with his toes, and screamed in fright:

"Holy crap! Shi Zhao, you guys are here now!"

"Holy crap! Where is it? Where is it?"

"What the hell?! Where are my pants?! Gu Qing, you stole your dad's pants!!!"

"You bastard, where are you putting your hands! These are clearly mine!"

"Holy crap, those are my pants!" "Let go, they're mine!"

The boys swarmed down, grabbing the pants from the shore and trying to put them on. But since they were all about the same size, they got confused and ended up fighting over pants instead of catching fish.

The girls on the shore who were cutting fish stopped and started watching the commotion and laughed. Yu He stood up and walked over to them, smiling as he said, "Could you two please close your eyes for a moment? Those shameless guys are getting dressed."

"Hmm...it's alright, taking a look won't hurt us."

As she spoke, Liu Ruxuan's eyes remained fixed on the boy getting dressed in the river.

Xia Shizhao nodded silently to the side, "In the past, you couldn't see so many handsome men with good figures without spending money."

"Yeah, yeah, I used to be able to see it even when I spent money, my family was too strict."

"...You two." Yu He hesitated, his expression complex, looking at the two of them with unspoken words.

"Hehe, don't be afraid, we don't eat people," Liu Ruxuan said with a serious and righteous expression, one hand on her shoulder. "We're not hooligans! We're just innocent."

Xia Shizhao, who had spent some time with her, sighed in exasperation. Who knew that Liu Ruxuan, who appeared aloof, was more lewd than anyone else? At first, he thought she was a reserved and innocent omega, but after getting to know her, he discovered that she was a shameless female hooligan.

Although she was too.

They are like-minded friends, both being attracted to good-looking people and unable to resist looking at them. However, Xia Shizhao is shy and doesn't want to keep staring.

Yu He stared stiffly at Xia Shizhao, her eyes seeming to ask, 'Is she usually like this?'

Xia Shizhao patted her shoulder and comforted her, "You'll get used to it."

There are even more outrageous people out there that you haven't seen yet.

"Hey! Shi Zhao, Ru Xuan, over here! The fish over here is ready, come and try it!" The girl with curly hair waved lively, and Xia Shi Zhao walked over.

Sitting next to her, he asked curiously, "Kana, did you grill this fish? It looks so crispy and smells delicious."

The curly-haired girl nodded, her ears turning red. "I'm the only one here who knows how to make this, so it takes a little while to bake. Try it and see if it tastes good."

"Thanks." Xia Shizhao naturally took the grilled fish, blew on it gently, and took a bite, making a crisp sound.

Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

tasty.

The water quality at Stone Star is very good now, and the fish are growing well with firm and chewy flesh.

The grilled fish was cooked to perfection.

She praised without reservation, "Kana, your cooking is so good! It's so delicious, you're amazing!"

"Mmm, you like to eat more."

Kana said in a low voice.

Xia Shizhao nodded happily, looked at the skewered fish on the side, picked up a few skewers, and said, "I can do that too, I'll help."

"I can do it too!" Liu Ruxuan waved. "I'll help too!"

Xia Shizhao handed it to her with a hint of doubt, "You really know how?"

"Of course, ever since I left home... I've been cooking for myself outside all by myself."

Liu Ruxuan touched her nose, sat down to the side, and began to help.

One by one, the students in the class got to eat. They gathered around the three cooks, some massaging their shoulders, some wiping their sweat, and some fanning them.

They praised it while eating.

Xia Shizhao and his friends sat in the middle with smiles on their faces, and the group of teenagers sang songs in a lively atmosphere.
