After Cao Yuan dodged six or seven swords in a row, Lu Menglei realized that something was wrong.

Lu Menglei started learning kendo, although it has only been a few years, but there are not many people of her generation who can avoid her attacks, let alone dodge so many swords in one breath. Looking at Cao Yuan's calm appearance, Lu Menglei was extremely shocked!

This guy is so skilled?

Who is he?!

Just when Lu Menglei was distracted, Cao Yuan, who had been retreating, suddenly took half a step forward and hit Lu Menglei's wrist with his backhand. Then the branch gently hit her forearm, and the bamboo sword in her hand was instantly knocked away.

whoosh——!

The slender branch flashed through the air like lightning, making a sharp whistle, and suddenly stopped beside Lu Menglei's white neck, whose face was extremely pale.

Cao Yuan held the branch, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "You lose, senior sister."

Lu Menglei hadn't recovered from the lightning-fast blow just now. She stared blankly at the man in front of her. After a long time, she suddenly took a few steps back and looked at her bamboo sword that was knocked away in disbelief:

"You...how did you do that? Who are you?"

"I told you, I'm a freshman in the philosophy department..."

"That's not what I'm talking about!" Lu Menglei's eyes were bright. She looked at Cao Yuan as if she was looking at a rare treasure. She rushed to Cao Yuan, grabbed his hand, and examined it carefully.

"You've learned swordplay, haven't you? You have thick calluses on your hands, either from using a sword or a knife! You're definitely not an ordinary philosophy student!"

Feeling the delicacy and warmth coming from his palms, Cao Yuan coughed lightly, "I only learned a little when I was a child..."

Lu Menglei also realized that something was wrong and immediately let go of Cao Yuan's hand. Her cheeks felt a little hot, but she still stared into his eyes, her gaze gradually becoming hot.

Kendo Club, this time we really found a treasure!

"Come again!" Lu Menglei was not defeated by the failure. She quickly picked up the bamboo sword on the ground and got into a fighting stance. Her slightly flushed cheeks returned to normal and her face was full of seriousness.

"good."

Lu Menglei shouted softly, exerted all her strength and rushed out again!

…

Opposite corridor.

"You only know how to bully little girls." Jiang Er floated in the air and stuck out his tongue at Cao Yuan on the training ground.

"He has been very restrained, otherwise even if Lu Menglei only used branches, she wouldn't be able to withstand even one move." Lin Qiye looked at the two people on the training ground with a smile, and he just found it interesting.

"By the way, this Lu Menglei is good in both skills and character. She is a good candidate to be a night watchman. It would be even more perfect if she had the Forbidden Ruins."

An Qingyu pushed his glasses and said.

"Cao Yuan will not agree." Lin Qiye shook his head, "Which man would want the girl he likes to risk her life?"

"Too."

Time passed little by little, and by the time Lu Menglei and Cao Yuan finished their "exchange", it was almost twelve o'clock.

As the lights in the training ground were turned off, the two men walked out of the house. Lin Qiye and others, who had watched the fight for two hours, finally regained their spirits.

"It's late at night and there's no one on the road, so it makes sense for the junior to send the senior back to the dormitory." An Qingyu couldn't help but applaud Cao Yuan, "If the dormitory is closed at a certain time so that she can't go back to the dormitory, it will be even more perfect."

"Unfortunately, there is no access control in the dormitories of Shangjing University. You can enter the dormitory no matter what time you return." Jiang Er was already familiar with the rules and regulations of Shangjing University. He sighed helplessly, with an expression as if he had missed a good show.

An Qingyu pondered for a moment, "I think it would be a pity if they just go back like this."

"What do you mean?"

"Look, after the fight just now, Lu Menglei has developed a sense of admiration for Cao Yuan... I think we should strike while the iron is hot and let this admiration Cao Yuan gives her turn into a sense of security."

"A sense of security... How can I do this?"

Lin Qiye rubbed his chin with one hand, as if he had thought of something. His eyes drifted towards a teaching building shrouded in darkness not far away, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:

"I have an idea..."

…

"Has it already been this late without me noticing?"

Lu Menglei carried a bamboo sword on her back, looking at the empty road in front of her. There were a few street lamps scattered on both sides of the road. Under the dim light, the entire campus was dead silent.

"It's already past twelve o'clock." Cao Yuan glanced at the time and asked casually, "What time does the dormitory close?"

"Access control? There is no access control in the dormitories of Shangjing University."

"oh……"

Cao Yuan could not hide the disappointment in his eyes.

"Junior Brother Cao Yuan, you live off campus, right?" Lu Menglei asked as if she remembered something.

"Yeah." Cao Yuan nodded slightly. "Leaving the school gate is the same direction as going to your dormitory. I'll take you back on the way."

"Um... is it the same direction?"

"Really? Anyway, I'm a little tired from the exercise just now, so I thought I'd take a walk."

"...Okay." Lu Menglei looked at Cao Yuan suspiciously, with a strange expression.

Lu Menglei and Cao Yuan walked side by side on the path, neither of them speaking. Under the dim street lights, their shadows overlapped, and the air suddenly fell into a subtle silence...

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Menglei gritted her teeth and took the initiative to speak:

"Junior Cao Yuan."

"Um?"

"Senior, I'm divorced, did you know that?"

"I know."

Cao Yuan nodded decisively, which made Lu Menglei stunned for a moment. She gave Cao Yuan a complicated look.

"You...well, it's good that you know."

The two fell silent again.

Meow--!!

At this moment, a petite figure suddenly emerged from the side path, grabbed the small bag in Lu Menglei's hand like lightning, and pulled it off!

The cat appeared so suddenly that Lu Menglei didn't react for a moment. She turned her head in surprise and saw a black cat holding her bag, standing on the edge of the flower bed. It turned around and rushed towards a teaching building in the dark.

"My bag..." Seeing this, Lu Menglei shouted anxiously and immediately followed.

Cao Yuan stood there, looking at the departing cat with suspicion, his expression a little subtle. He looked around and ran after Lu Menglei.

Although Lu Menglei's speed was not slow, it was still far behind the nimble cat. She chased the black cat all the way to a dark teaching building. She saw the black shadow flash, and then it rushed along the pipe on the outer wall to the sixth floor and disappeared behind a window.

Lu Menglei stood breathlessly downstairs of the teaching building, and was about to chase in when she suddenly stopped.

She stared blankly at the teaching building in front of her, as if she had thought of something, her expression a little flustered, and she muttered to herself:

"Oh no, this building is..."
