"It feels great to be back at school after half a month. I feel younger again." Xu Chen exclaimed sincerely on the way to school with Wang Li. He was genuinely indifferent to the base. Wang Li smiled gently and said, "You're being smug. If it weren't for Elder Tang recognizing your talent and letting you cultivate, how could you have become a martial artist and led them in training in the military camp?" Xu Chen thought there was some truth to that, but only if he had actually succeeded in cultivating under Elder Tang's 'guidance'. He turned to Wang Li and said softly, "Lili, do you want to become a martial artist too?" Xu Chen decided to strike while the iron was hot. Before Wang Li understood the difference between a martial artist and a cultivator, he would use the identity Elder Tang had given him to teach her to cultivate martial arts on the surface but cultivate immortality in reality. Wang Li tightened her grip on her books and tilted her head, asking, "No, Chenchen, becoming a female knight-errant and fighting isn't suitable for me." Xu Chen didn't press further. At this stage, it was already a huge victory that Wang Li could naturally accept and recognize the existence of so-called superpowers. Everything has to be done step by step. "I still have to thank Tang Tiancheng. If it weren't for his status and his endorsement, Lili might not have accepted it so quickly," Xu Chen thought to himself.
"Xu Chen, over here." In the classroom, several roommates greeted Xu Chen, whom they hadn't seen in a long time, with joy. Xu Chen smiled, picked up his books, and walked over. After Xu Chen sat down, Zhao Weimin asked him suspiciously, "Chen-di, why haven't you been to school lately?" The others chimed in, "Yeah, and judging from how carefree you are, I guess you haven't done anything to me these past few days. Tell the truth, Chen-di, what have you been doing?" Xu Chen noticed everyone's curious gazes scrutinizing him, and the students in the front row seemed to be paying attention to him as well, as if they all knew Xu Chen had missed so many classes. Xu Chen said mysteriously, "I was on Pandora rescuing the Na'vi, and I just returned to Earth on a spaceship yesterday." Wang Aihua punched Xu Chen's shoulder, "Brothers, punish Xu Chen for talking nonsense!" The group playfully wrestled together until the professor came to start class, at which point they returned to normal. Xu Chen opened his notebook; he had memorized all the contents of the book, and only needed to listen to the lecture and take notes to deepen his understanding, so Xu Chen always found classes very easy.
After class, Zhao Jiajia walked towards Xu Chen and stopped at his desk. Xu Chen looked at her and instantly understood that she had come to ask about his performance. Zhao Jiajia asked, "Xu Chen, the welcome party is tomorrow. Your performance should be fine, right?" Xu Chen nodded and said seriously, "Don't worry, I won't mess it up." Zhao Jiajia wanted to say more, but seeing Xu Chen's roommate looking at her with an ambiguous expression, she felt her cheeks flush and left. Wang Aihua pulled Xu Chen's shoulder and said earnestly, "Brother Chen, Li Wei's happiness is in your hands, Min-ge and I are entrusting it to you." Zhao Weimin nodded. Li Wei had just been observing Zhao Jiajia and Xu Chen. Seeing the two brothers say this, he was instantly moved. He was about to ask Wang Aihua for a hug when Wang Aihua pushed him away. "You jerk, Xu Chen, now you should understand the urgency of getting Li Wei out of singlehood, right?" Xu Chen nodded solemnly.
After a long day of classes, Wang Aihua and her two friends felt completely drained. They rushed back to their dorm to play games online to recharge. Xu Chen waited for Wang Li at the English Department and then went home with her. As they walked along the roadside, Xu Chen pulled Wang Li into a music store. Wang Li blinked her big eyes at Xu Chen, "Chenchen, what are we doing here?" Xu Chen just held Wang Li's hand without answering. After a while, he found the xiao (vertical bamboo flute) and began to select and examine them. Watching Xu Chen choose a xiao, Wang Li asked in surprise, "Chenchen, you can play the xiao?" Xu Chen nodded, "It's a skill I learned when I was little. I'll buy it and play a tune for you when we get home, Lili. I'm going to be performing at a gala tomorrow, so please, beautiful judge, give me your feedback first." Wang Li nodded excitedly. Who wouldn't want their man to have more and more skills and discover more and more hidden talents? Xu Chen had clearly achieved both. After Xu Chen chose his favorite xiao, he paid and left the music store.
When Wang Li got home that evening, she couldn't wait to take a shower. She wanted to finish quickly so she could listen to Xu Chen play the flute for her. Xu Chen, on the other hand, sat leisurely on the sofa scrolling through his phone. When Wang Li came out of the bathroom and saw that Xu Chen hadn't made any move, she asked, "Chenchen, hurry up, play a tune for me." Xu Chen said with feigned arrogance, "Did you forget something before this?" Wang Li was a little flustered, but seeing Xu Chen pout, she understood what he meant. She rolled her eyes at him, dried her hair, sat on Xu Chen's lap, wrapped her arms around his neck, and the two shared a long kiss. Xu Chen smiled at Wang Li's slightly flushed face, "Lili, it seems you're really innocent. We've been together for so long, and you're still shy about kissing." Just as Wang Li was about to retort, Xu Chen released her arms, picked up the flute, and Wang Li sat down, quietly listening to Xu Chen's performance. A moment later, Xu Chen's flute music filled the air, its lingering notes captivating Wang Li. Xu Chen was playing the theme song from a Japanese anime. In the height of emotion, Wang Li didn't even notice the tears welling in her eyes. After a long while, the music ended, and Wang Li happily kissed Xu Chen. "Chenchen, you were amazing! This is a reward kiss." Xu Chen smiled gently, stroked Wang Li's hair, and said earnestly, "Lili, I have a task for you at tomorrow's party: to take good pictures of your husband, me, in all my glory." Wang Li didn't argue with Xu Chen anymore; the flute music had moved her, and she nodded seriously.
As night fell, the two put away their books, tidied up, and prepared to go upstairs to sleep. When they reached the second floor, Wang Li suddenly stopped, her face flushed. Xu Chen, who was opening the door, asked, "Lili, what's wrong?" Wang Li stammered, "Chenchen, let's... let's sleep in the same room..." Xu Chen teased, "What's wrong? Are you craving your husband's embrace?" Wang Li nodded shyly. Xu Chen's masculine scent mixed with his pleasant, light herbal fragrance was indeed somewhat alluring to her. So, the day after she suggested sleeping separately to stop Xu Chen from 'doing bad things,' she surrendered. Seeing this, Xu Chen swept Wang Li up in his arms and carried her into the room, saying as he went, "Hehe, little rabbit, you asked for this yourself." Wang Li playfully hit Xu Chen, and the two fell asleep in each other's arms. Despite Xu Chen's flirtatious words, he simply held Wang Li normally as they drifted off to sleep, then both fell asleep in each other's arms.
