Chapter 049 Chapter 49
Although the formal classes have begun, the weekly devil training is still on the schedule. The teachers are still keen to tap the "potential" of the students. When the sun was about to set, the physical education teacher kindly announced that today's training would end here.
At this time, the students were already lying all over the ground, breathing more out than in.
"I want to announce a good news to everyone. We will have three days off starting tomorrow. You can arrange your activities freely."
"Yeah..." A weak cheer.
"It's only been three days..."
"Hmm? From what I hear you guys don't want to take a holiday, well, I'll apply to add you guys tomorrow..."
Human potential is enormous. Before the PE teacher uttered the last word, everyone managed to stand up with somersaults, holding up their sore muscles, and cried in unison: "Thank you, teacher! Thank you, school! Thank you, leaders! Long live the holiday!"
"Good, very energetic!" The PE teacher was very satisfied: "As usual, those who have not left the playground within ten minutes will stay to practice, dismissed!"
So the students ran away in all kinds of strange postures.
"That's great. Tomorrow is a day off." Zhu Changan was vaguely excited.
"What are your plans for tomorrow?" Mo Xuanji looked at his companions, with a hint of expectation in his eyes. Recently, he finally understood why the seniors were so keen on sparring. After all, fighting could help them consolidate their knowledge and experience, and it could also help them get closer to their classmates. Why not?
The system shook its head and sighed in its sea of consciousness: "I have been led astray without realizing it, kid."
Shen Liuxue and Zhu Changan looked at each other with strange expressions.
"I, I plan to go to the library tomorrow." Zhu Changan's eyes wandered and he moved his feet a little further away.
"I'm going to help the club tomorrow." Shen Liuxue crossed his arms with a smile on his face.
This means total rejection. Although Mo Xuanji felt a little disappointed, she didn't force it. After all, the friends all had their own things to do.
"good."
"What are Xuan Ji's plans for tomorrow?" Shen Liuxue asked, and Zhu Changan beside him also cast a curious look.
Mo Xuanji didn't think much about it: "Let's go to the training room."
"Will you stay for the full six hours?"
"Yeah." After all, you can only stay for six hours at most.
The usage time of the training room is limited. Each person can only apply once a day, and the usage time cannot exceed six hours.
At first, the students were confused by this, after all, such a rule was not something that a school could come up with. But as we all know, there is an outrageous story behind every strange rule.
It is said that a senior student was playing with something in there, and ended up blowing up the entire training room. Fortunately, it was during class time, so not many people were using the training room. People nearby were just startled.
From then on, the school stipulated that, in addition to the six-hour usage limit, no finished or semi-finished products with large-scale lethality were allowed into the training room. By the way, six hours was exactly the time required to make such a thing. As for the senior, it was said that he was still working part-time to pay off his school debts.
When they arrived at the dormitory area, Shen Liuxue waved to them and left.
"Are there any important festivals recently?" Zhu Changan finally realized this belatedly.
"Tomorrow is Double Ninth Festival."
"Huh?" Zhu Chang'an, who had never celebrated the Double Ninth Festival since he was a child, asked in a confused voice.
Mo Xuanji was also a little confused. They had never taken a holiday for the Double Ninth Festival in high school, not to mention a three-day holiday. Could it be that Penglai Academy attached particular importance to traditional festivals?
At this time, Ji Sheng was happily packing his things to take home. Hearing the two people talking, he poked his head out of the room and said, "You know what I mean? Although it is just an ordinary festival for humans, it is very important to us demons!"
…
The next day, Mo Xuanji entered the training room and put his consciousness on Yuheng's side. After Plan A, which was to spar with his friends, was abandoned, Mo Xuanji decided to implement Plan B - to continue learning the spells on the bamboo slips.
Although the training room was only used for a short time, fortunately there was no need to worry about being disturbed by the outside world. A senior named Wang who was keen on climbing through the window instead of going through the main door was specially mentioned.
When Liuliu saw his master open his eyes, he quickly jumped out of the bronze lamp and flew to Yuheng's hand.
"Chirp!" Someone is coming!
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door, and the wind chimes on the door also made a few crisp sounds.
Mo Xuanji realized belatedly that since today was an important festival for the demon race, the official would probably send someone over.
He sighed resignedly and quickly got into the state.
Unexpectedly, the people who came this time were not official.
The young man, who had met Yuheng once, raised the gift box in his hand. He seemed a little embarrassed. His light golden eyes looked at Yuheng and then quickly turned away, subconsciously turning his head away. Only then did Yuheng realize that he was wearing a ruby earring on his right ear. As he turned his head, the ruby reflected a smudge of fiery red on his skin.
Like fire. For no reason, this sentence suddenly popped up in my mind. Perhaps it was because the other person had the color I liked, Yuheng inexplicably had a better impression of him.
"Hello." Yuheng gave him a gentle smile.
"...Hello. I'm You Lin." Perhaps because he was nervous, the young man lowered his head and didn't dare to look at him. His voice was a little weak at first, and after looking at the gift box in his hand, he reluctantly became more confident: "I'm a worker at Wanbaotang, and this is sent by our boss."
I see, he is also a social phobic. In the depths of his consciousness, a light bulb lit up on Mo Xuanji's head, and he looked at You Lin with a more friendly look.
"Is it Boss Yan?" Only those with social phobia would understand the pain of social phobia. Yuheng leaned over to lead him in, and then took the initiative to ask.
"It's not Yan...it's another boss." Sure enough, although he was still a little hesitant, You Lin was obviously relieved after coming in.
"Another boss?"
"Um."
Liu Liu sneaked out from under the two people's eyes, rubbed against You Lin, and then rushed into the incense burner beside him. Only a pair of round eyes were exposed in the gap.
Yuheng did not stop pouring tea. After he put down the teapot, he tapped the lid of the incense burner with his fan: "Naughty."
“Chiu!”
You Lin's expression changed slightly, as if he was startled.
"I'm sorry, the kid rarely sees strangers, so he was a little naughty for a moment." Yuheng showed a helpless smile.
You Lin didn't say anything. He held the cup of steaming hot tea and drank it all in one gulp as if he didn't feel it was hot. Yu Heng's hand froze in the air when he tried to stop him, and then he took it back without a word.
Maybe people have different physical constitutions, and children may not be afraid of hot spots.
The next second, You Lin put down the teacup, tears welling up in his eyes.
After all, you can still feel the heat!
We really don't have to fight to this extent, kid, it's okay to cool down and drink it! Deep in her consciousness, Mo Xuanji, who empathized with her fellow socially anxious people, extended her hand to You Lin.
"Sorry, I should have come over to say hello to you earlier." You Lin wiped away his burned tears imperceptibly.
"Um?"
"After all, you are our boss."
Yuheng waved the fan lightly, but his heart was shocked.
What does it mean that "I" am also the boss? Whose boss? The boss of Wanbaotang? Who is the boss of whom? Is Yuheng the boss of Wanbaotang?
No wonder he reacted so strongly. It was as outrageous and shocking as if someone suddenly told you that you were a shareholder of the world's top 1 company.
System! What kind of identity did you assign to Yuheng? Yuheng maintained his composure and poked the system frantically in his sea of consciousness. However, the system seemed to be doing nothing and did not respond for a long time.
"No problem, haven't we met last time?" Yuheng smiled slightly while holding the teacup.
You Lin was stunned, and his face flushed red when he realized what was going on. Of course, he knew what Yu Heng meant. He almost ran away that time.
"Sorry, I'm sorry. I was rude last time." He took out an exquisite food box from the storage container, gently placed it on the table, and lowered his head: "This is the Chongyang cake I made by myself as an apology... I hope you don't mind."
Deep in his mind, Mo Xuanji's hands holding the water trembled slightly. He originally wanted to change the subject so that You Lin wouldn't notice anything wrong. After all, how could someone not know which industry he was in? He just didn't expect that such a sentence would scare the child.
Look at this movement, it's very smooth. I guess I've rehearsed it many times in my mind.
"It's okay, I don't mind." Yuheng accepted the box of pastries with a painful conscience.
I don't know why, although the system is not here, its disdainful power seems to have been passed on to Mo Xuanji. In addition, Yuheng has a bit of a disdainful nature. After a brief feeling of guilt, he quickly opened the door to a new world.
No wonder the system likes to tease him so much. Mo Xuanji gradually understood everything.
When he finally realized whether doing so was a bit immoral, You Lin's eyes were already red and he looked like he was about to cry.
"Sorry." Yuheng coughed lightly and covered half of his face with a fan.
I can't help myself. I teased you so easily. If I tell you, I will definitely be beaten to death. Out of guilt, Yuheng poured him another cup. In order to prevent this honest kid from gulping it down again, he quietly absorbed some of the heat.
Sure enough, You Lin picked up the teacup again and drank it all in one gulp, with tears streaming down his face.
"Are you okay?" Yuheng showed a worried look. He raised his hand and a handkerchief appeared and he handed it to You Lin.
"I'm sorry, I drank too quickly and didn't pay attention to the temperature." You Lin took the handkerchief with both hands, tears falling.
It's over, it's over, I really made you cry. Although You Lin said that he was scalded, how could Yu Heng not know whether the cup of tea was scalded or not?
Damn it.
Not long after, You Lin said goodbye to Yu Heng. Before leaving, he looked at Yu Heng deeply and made a strange gesture, as if he was greeting: "The weather is bad recently, please make sure to close the doors and windows."
Yuheng chuckled and nodded, and quickly realized in his heart that this was a reminder from Wanbaotang. He was afraid that some guys would make big moves recently.
"Huh? The person left so quickly?" The system suddenly popped up, almost scaring Mo Xuanji.
"System!"
"Hey, I didn't mean to do that. What did that person come for?"
"I'm here to give you a gift. Where have you been just now?" Mo Xuanji frowned, crossed his arms, and his whole body exuded an unhappy aura.
"Ahem, it's like this, it's a system upgrade, I didn't tell you in advance because I thought it wasn't a big deal."
"System upgrade?"
"That's right. But I can't tell you what's new now. You'll know later." The system changed its tone and said weakly, "Do you believe me when I say this?"
Mo Xuanji smiled faintly: "Do I believe it or not? I can't tell you now, you will know later."
The system burst into tears on the spot.
