"She's just a woman. Would Master Chen withdraw from the port competition for her sake?"
"It was a man dressed in black casual clothes," he said. He had hawk-like eyes, and a scar on his angular face made him look even more fierce.
"Have you ever seen Master Chen panic? Back then, when he was ambushed by our master and almost lost his life, he didn't show the slightest sign of panic. Now, hmph—"
"That's what another man in the room said. He's Bai Feng, fair-skinned and with the refined air of a scholar."
But those who know him well know that he is an even more ruthless and powerful figure than Bai Ying.
White Eagle and White Bee are White Wolf's right-hand men, one skilled in martial arts and the other in literature, and they follow him closely.
"White Bee, deliver the photos to Di Chenxiao."
Bai Yanlang picked up the wine glass on the table and slowly savored it. He was very curious about how Di Chenxiao would choose.
This person, who has never had any weaknesses, has now developed a fatal one.
Feelings are the most useless thing; they're so foolish.

Shi Xi was with Qin Xue and the others after school. Shi's mother came to pick her up from school, so even though Di Chenxiao arrived at the school gate early to wait, he didn't see Shi Xi.
Shi Xi lay in bed, her head buried under the covers, feeling very agitated.
I tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
Knock knock—
Someone knocked on the door. It was 9:30 pm. Who could it be?
Shi Xi sat up and said, "The door isn't closed, come in."
"Big brother, you—"
Shi Hao held a bowl of porridge and placed it in front of Shi Xi. "Xiao Xi, you ate less for dinner, so you must be hungry now. I know you girls are more concerned about your figure and eat less at night, so I made some porridge. Eating some won't make you fat."
Shi Xi took the porridge, took a sip, and said, "Thank you, brother. I'm actually a little hungry."
He finished a bowl of porridge and even let out a burp.
Shi Xi called out shyly, "Big Brother."
"Seeing you eat so heartily, I'm relieved. I thought you were in a bad mood, which is why you weren't eating much."
Shi Hao took the empty bowl and said with a smile, "It's getting late, girls shouldn't stay up late."
Shi Xi pulled the blanket over herself and nodded. "Okay, goodnight, big brother."
He patted his sister's head and said, "Goodnight."
After eating and drinking to her heart's content, Shi Xi had a good night's sleep.
Of course it was a good dream. She dreamt that she knocked Di Chenxiao to the ground, made him kneel and beg for mercy, haha—
Although it was just a dream, she was still very happy.

Class 29, Grade 12
"My little fairy, my birthday is coming soon, it's next Saturday. You must come to my birthday party."
Qin Xue looked radiant. "After my birthday, I'll be an adult. From now on, I can break free from my parents' control. Just thinking about it makes me happy."
Like many underage children, Qin Xue longed to grow up and escape from her parents. But as they grew up, they realized that the days of being controlled by their parents were gone forever.
Adults also face a host of troubles.
Shi Xi beamed, "I will definitely go. Congratulations, Brother Qin, you're about to become an adult."
"Of course. Zhou Jin and Brother Yan are coming too. I'll cut ties with anyone who doesn't come."
Qin Xue pointed at the two of them, threatening them.
Zhou Jin smiled and said, "I'll definitely go."
Since Hua Rui left school, Zhou Jin's "pervert" label has been removed, and he has become more and more energetic like a young man.
Han Yan smiled enigmatically. "Qin Xue, you're about to turn 18, which means you can go to jail for committing crimes. Congratulations."
Qin Xue: ……
Zhou Jin: Haha...
Shi Xi: Trying not to laugh...
