Chapter 41: Same Kind
The young man turned around when he heard the sound.
His cold and pale complexion turned a rosy pink after extensive exercise, which added a thrilling temptation to his already delicate and gorgeous facial features.
Seeing that it was Yu Zhi, he wiped the sweat from his forehead hastily, stopped and waited for the other party to catch up.
"Did you just come out of the training ground?" Yu Zhi asked.
Chen Wang hummed and asked, "What about you?"
"I just ran a few laps around the field, just to get some exercise." She then asked, "What were you doing on the field?"
"Fighting, combat." Chen Wang's voice was emotionless. "It's a habit I've always maintained. I practice it every day."
Yu Zhi nodded, not quite understanding, then frowned and asked, "Is it because in the Paar District... that we have to practice these?"
Chen Wang knew that she wasn't deliberately biased against the Pal District, so she patiently explained to her, "Not really. It's mainly because I want it myself... I think I have some skills."
The two chatted all the way and were about to reach the dormitory building.
Yu Zhi rolled her eyes and pulled his sleeve: "Chen Wang..."
Shen Wang's heart skipped a beat. The place where she was holding him was stiff and unable to move. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind for a moment. She...
"Are you hungry?" Yu Zhi said to herself, "I'm a little hungry after exercising. How about we go eat something?"
The force that made his whole body stiff suddenly released, and Chen Wang breathed a sigh of relief without making a sound, and his clear consciousness returned.
"Okay," he replied.
He was probably a very greedy and selfish person, and he simply couldn't refuse to spend more time with Yu Zhi.
The two of them changed direction and went from returning to the dormitory to going to the cafeteria.
The first cafeteria is open until 12 o'clock in the morning so that the extraordinary people can have a snack after exercising in the evening.
However, this was only the second day of school, and there were not many hardworking students who came out to practice hard at night. There were only a few dozen people in the cafeteria at this time.
Yu Zhi originally wanted to buy more food for herself and use the same trick again, but Chen Wang stopped her this time and said he would buy it himself.
"The military academy provides subsidies, and I've saved quite a bit of money before." The blush on his face hadn't faded yet. "I'm not that short of money."
Yu Zhi withdrew her hand that was about to pay, pretending that she didn't always want to treat everyone: "Oh, that... that's great..."
Chen Wang chuckled softly and picked up the shredded pork noodles that Yu Zhi had bought along with his own rice: "Let's go."
The two found a seat in the corner and sat down.
"Have you always lived in the Paarl District?" Yu Zhi asked while eating, "Or did you come from outer space?"
If you want to quickly build a closer relationship between two people, of course you have to understand each other's experience and background.
"I am an orphan." Chen Wang said without hesitation. At the same time, he raised his eyes, and his silver-white pupils looked at Yu Zhi steadily, as if observing her reaction.
He continued, "It's been like this since I can remember, but luckily a homeless man found me and managed to keep me alive."
Yu Zhi's expression changed slightly, but it was neither disgust nor contempt, nor the pity and sympathy he had thought.
"I..." Yu Zhi said with some complexity, "Before last year, I always thought I was an orphan."
Chen Wang's pupils shrank and he put down his chopsticks.
Shouldn't she have been raised in a luxurious house in an upscale area? How could she also think she was an orphan?
Yu Zhi saw his shock and confusion, and smiled slightly as she explained, "I was lost when I was very young, and was only just found by the Yu family. Before that, I grew up on Planet 845."
No wonder…
No wonder she dared to come to the slums alone.
No wonder she looks proud but is actually not spoiled at all.
No wonder she didn't look down on him like others did.
Chen Wang felt a sense of sympathy for his fellow man, and the distance between him and her seemed to have narrowed a little.
But there was no despicable relief in this, seeing someone who was originally out of reach being dragged into the quagmire. He was simply indulging in the closeness of the two hearts.
In a dimly lit corner, two people sat side by side, their bodies unconsciously leaning slightly towards each other, like two little animals hiding in the dark, snuggling up to each other and licking their wounds.
*
I didn't attend classes with the Mecha Department in the next few days.
Yu Zhi would only occasionally meet Chen Wang on the road after running in the evening.
But when we meet, we just say hello and chat for a few minutes.
Yu Zhi couldn't always go to the cafeteria for midnight snacks, otherwise, by the time she got the male protagonists, she would have gained twenty or thirty pounds.
On the weekend, Yu Ji urged the three of them to go home together, but Yu Zhi was too lazy to go back.
How could it be as comfortable and relaxed in the Yu family as in the single dormitory?
So she made up an excuse that she wanted to get more familiar with the campus and rejected Yu Ji. Although Yu Ji was a little dissatisfied, he didn't want to get angry with her easily.
next week.
It was finally the day when the Mecha Department and their Healing Department had classes together.
Because she was quite familiar with Chen Miaoxi and Kong Xiaohui, Yu Zhi did not sit next to Chen Wang this time, but sat with the girls across a row.
This was an environmental class. The teacher handed out a stack of animal and plant specimens and asked them to work in pairs to observe and study them, and then take a short test in class.
"Xiao Zhi, let's be in a group of two!" Kong Xiaohui took the lead and pulled her hand and said coquettishly.
Chen Miaoxi was not to be outdone: "Why are you and Xiaozhi in the same group? My grades in environmental studies are better than yours, so Xiaozhi should be in the same group with me!"
Before Yu Zhi could say anything, the two of them started arguing.
"Stop arguing," she said in a delicate voice, but it stopped the two of them arguing in an instant, "You two will be in one group, and I want to be in one group with Shen Wang."
Chen Miaoxi and Kong Xiaohui were dumbfounded.
The two of them quarreled like clowns for a long time, but in the end Xiao Zhi was seduced away by a taciturn "male fairy"?
Yu Zhi didn't care what they thought. She took her things and sat down next to Chen Wang.
The seats around him were all empty. It was obvious that he was isolated by other students in the Mecha Department. Even now that the teacher asked them to form teams of two, no one was willing to join him.
The Mecha Department is a money-burning major, and the students in it are basically either rich or noble. Only Chen Wang, an outlier who got in by relying on talent, suddenly appeared.
He also has a "seductive" face - of course this is a malicious comment, which makes boys who advocate masculinity even more unhappy.
In addition, last time Yu Zhi didn't even look at anyone else and sat next to Chen Wang for the entire afternoon, which caused others to isolate Chen Wang even more.
Although these childish behaviors did not really cause any substantial harm to Chenwang, who was used to experiencing the ups and downs of life.
Seeing Yu Zhi suddenly running towards him, Chen Wang gave her a puzzled look.
"I want to be in the same group with you." Yu Zhi said directly.
