Chapter 42 Determination
Her attitude was clear, yet she was hesitant.
It was not a good thing for her that Yu Zhi was so obviously involved with her.
Yu Zhi, however, saw that he was hinting at a refusal and said, "I've already come here. If you reject me, I'll be so embarrassed."
Her smart and pretty eyes looked at him pleadingly, making it impossible for Shen Wang to say no.
This is tacit consent.
Yu Zhi showed a sly smile after succeeding.
Behind him, Chen Miaoxi and Kong Xiaohui stared at the two "much-in-love" figures in front of them with resentment on their faces, as if Yu Zhi was the scumbag who abandoned his wife and children.
The animal and plant specimens distributed were all from some common planets. Yu Zhi and Shen Wang put their heads together and began to identify them carefully.
But malicious whispers kept entering Chen Wang's ears.
He is an SSS-level extraordinary person, and he can easily catch these sounds even if he doesn't listen deliberately.
Yu Zhi noticed that Chen Wang was distracted and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Chen Wang naturally didn't want to say those harsh words to her, so he shook his head to indicate that it was okay.
But the voice of someone in front suddenly became louder, as if he wanted to let certain people hear it on purpose.
"Tsk tsk, one comes from a garbage planet, the other comes from a garbage district, they really hit it off."
"Get along? You mean we are birds of a feather? Hahaha!"
The teacher slammed the podium and shouted, "What are you doing?! Be quiet!"
The voice finally died down, but Shen Wang's expression was already very ugly.
Yu Zhi gently poked his arm: "Chen Wang, do you mind what others say?"
"I..." He wanted to say that he didn't mind what others said about him, but he didn't want to accept her being insulted like this.
The idea in his mind was very clear, but Chen Wang was stuck for a moment.
Does she regret it?
It's normal for her to mind, right?
Maybe it would be best to keep her away from me now.
But how could he let it go so easily... He had already become friends with her and had felt how warm she was.
There was a conflict between conscience and desire in Shen Wang's mind. Reason told him not to delay her any longer, but his emotions told him not to let her go.
"Don't listen to what they say, okay?" The girl's voice was a little nervous. "I don't care what others say."
She seemed to be worried that Chen Wang would ignore her because of this, and she was even more uneasy than he was.
Realizing this, Chen Wang's heartbeat seemed to stop for a beat, and only her voice remained in his ears.
Since she has such an attitude, do I still have to be a coward?
"I don't care either." He made up his mind.

However, just as Chen Wang finished his "self-improvement" in the morning, Yu Zhi's head had already joined others in the afternoon.
The healing department has fewer courses than other departments, and many of them are just for fun.
Yu Zhi has no classes this afternoon, so she plans to go to the school library.
There are still many paper books in the interstellar space - many planets have sufficient bamboo and wood, and the upper-class residents still retain the habit of reading paper books, but ancient books preserved from ancient times are extremely rare.
The Central Military Academy has a profound heritage, and its library has several ancient books, and rubbings are also printed for students to borrow.
The last remaining copy of "Modern History" was standing alone on the bookshelf. Yu Zhi just raised her hand to take it, but suddenly a slender and white hand reached out from the side and took the book down before her.
Yu Zhi paused and turned her head to look over there with some annoyance, but this glance made her unable to help but express admiration.
Words like gentle as jade and bright as the moon and clear as the wind seem to be born to describe this person.
He has a tall and straight figure, like a pine tree or an orchid, and his temperament is noble but not at all aggressive, making it difficult for people to get angry with him.
The other party sensed Yu Zhi's direct gaze and finally reacted: "Do you want this book too? Sorry, I didn't notice."
He paused for two seconds, and asked uncertainly, "Are you... Yu Zhi?"
Yu Zhi looked surprised: "Do you know me?"
She had some vague guesses about his identity, but she wasn't sure, because he was definitely not one of the male protagonists.
However, she has also discovered that this real world is much richer and more vivid than what is described in the book, and there are many equally amazing non-protagonists - such as Chen Wang and the person in front of her.
"Yeah." The other person smiled and said softly, "Your brother and I are good friends. I saw you at his birthday party before."
"My name is Xie Wenyu."
Just as Yu Zhi guessed, only the heir of the Xie family could have such an extraordinary demeanor.
The Xie family is also one of the four sacred beast families. Its spiritual body is an SSS-level Black Tortoise. Xie Wenyu's strength is not much inferior to that of Qiao Zhiyu, Sheng Jiayi and others.
"Ah...so that's how it is." Yu Zhi nodded suddenly.
"Do you want to read this book too?" Xie Wenyu handed over the Modern History in his hand, "You read it first."
Yu Zhi took it and said after hesitating for a moment, "How about... watching it together?"
Xie Wenyu was a little surprised, but he really wanted to see it, so he agreed: "Okay."
The two found a place to sit in the library. Yu Zhi spread the books in the middle. She and Xie Wenyu read at similar speeds, so they could read together.
This book is called "Modern History", but it actually talks about the history around 3000 AD, which is thousands of years ago.
At that time, human beings on Earth were facing various difficulties such as resource depletion and technological bottlenecks, while natural disasters continued to increase, and there was already a sense of doomsday despair.
But blessings and misfortunes go hand in hand. Alien debris fell from the sky and, after being intercepted and slowed down, brought new knowledge and unusual radiation to the ancient people of Earth.
People began to evolve into the first generation of extraordinary beings, and women gradually awakened their healing talents.
At that time, China, which had the largest population and the strongest overall strength, had the right to speak and was also committed to passing on more Chinese culture.
After that, it experienced many interstellar migrations, foreign wars, and internal divisions before it finally stabilized into the current situation where the Federation and the Empire are controlled by the Four Divine Beasts Family.
The ancestor and origin of the Four Divine Beasts family is the Chinese nation of that time.
Yu Zhi felt quite complicated after reading it, with a contradictory feeling of "returning to one's roots" in a foreign country.
Before I knew it, it was already dark and a drizzle started outside, and it looked like it was getting heavier.
Unfortunately, just like the ancient books, there was only one umbrella left in the library.
"I'll take you back to the dormitory." Xie Wenyu opened the umbrella, tilted his head to look at her, and did not give her the right to refuse.
*
In the dormitory building.
When Chen Wang came out of the shower, he saw it was raining outside.
He remembered that Yu Zhi had told him that she would go to the library in the afternoon, but at this moment he didn't receive any message from her in his brain - Yu Zhi was probably still in the library.
He hurriedly put on his coat, picked up his umbrella and rushed into the rain outside the building.
