Hua Nan Fourth High School, Senior Class 1.
Everyone had successively filled out their volunteer forms and handed them to Li Jiye.
When Cheng Xing finished filling his out and submitted it,
“Cheng Xing, are you really not going to reconsider?” Li Jiye still couldn't help but advise him again.
After all, Cheng Xing's talent level was truly too low, and the possibility of him getting into a martial arts university was extremely slim.
“Teacher, you understand me. Since I dared to apply, I have confidence.”
Cheng Xing knew that Li Jiye was actually looking out for him; he had taken care of him a lot over the years.
Seeing this, Li Jiye didn't say anything more. Cheng Xing was good in every way, except for this one troublesome point: once he decided on something, he wouldn't change his mind.
After making their choices, the class was divided into two groups: those who chose a regular university needed to stay at school for further preparation, while those who chose a martial arts university did not, and instead needed to seize the time to go out and level up.
Walking out of the classroom, Cheng Xing found a graceful figure waiting for him.
“Want to walk together?”
Chu Yanyan quickly stepped forward, a pleasant fragrance accompanying her words, wafting towards Cheng Xing.
Without waiting for Cheng Xing to refuse, she pushed him to leave.
Their intimate actions made everyone else's eyes red with envy.
They all cursed themselves for not having good looks.
“Alright, alright, stop pushing. I can walk by myself.”
Feeling the pushing force from the two small hands on his back, Cheng Xing spoke helplessly.
This girl used to be quiet and composed, and she always kept her distance from him, but ever since she awakened her talent, she was like a different person, becoming much bolder.
Chu Yanyan then cheerfully poked her head out from beside Cheng Xing, skipping and bouncing to his side, walking abreast with him.
But since they were still at school, Chu Yanyan didn't make too many intimate gestures. The two, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, attracted many gazes along the way.
Originally, a passing teacher felt it was inappropriate and was about to go break them up, but upon seeing that it was Chu Yanyan, he dismissed the idea.
All of this fell into Cheng Xing's eyes, and he couldn't help but tease her.
“As expected of a talented girl with an A-rank talent, even teachers have to make way for her.”
“This genius halo is so dazzling, I need to keep my distance.”
Hearing this, Chu Yanyan's delicate nose twitched, and she raised her small pink fist, fiercely pounding Cheng Xing's arm.
Cheng Xing feigned dodging, creating some distance from Chu Yanyan, and then she quickly chased after him.
The two playfully bickered their way out of the school gate.
Outside the school gate, a low-key, unknown car was parked by the roadside. Upon seeing Chu Yanyan emerge, a middle-aged man in a suit immediately got out and walked towards her.
“Young Miss.”
“Uncle Li, I want to walk for a while.”
Chu Yanyan didn't get into the car with the bodyguard's welcome, but instead spoke.
The bodyguard glanced at Cheng Xing beside them; although a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes, it was quickly concealed.
This person was already famous in the Chu family.
No other reason than that after the Young Miss awakened her A-rank talent, she declared that she would marry no one else but him, shocking the entire Chu family.
Especially after it was investigated that Cheng Xing was just a useless F-rank talent, the entire Chu family was filled with opposition.
However, Chu Yanyan's A-rank talent gave her the right to decide her own life, and no one could control her.
After reminding her to be careful, the bodyguard returned to the car.
Immediately, Chu Yanyan pulled Cheng Xing towards his house, and as for that car, it maintained its distance and followed behind them.
...
At the same time, not far away, inside a BMW sedan, Cheng Xing and Chu Yanyan walked side by side, their occasional playful actions falling into Xu Wenxuan's eyes, causing his jealousy to almost flare up.
Over the years, he had tried his best to gain favor with Chu Yanyan, and just as he was about to succeed, a Cheng Xing suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
“Son, is that the Young Miss of the Chu family you mentioned?”
“Yes! But now someone wants to ruin my plans!” Xu Wenxuan said through gritted teeth.
“Don't worry, your dad will help you win her over. Oh, and that poor kid doesn't have any background, right?”
Xu Father patted his beer belly, narrowed his eyes, and said coldly.
“Dad, I want him dead!”
“Don't worry.”
Xu Father calmed his son's emotions, then made a phone call.
“Hello, check Hua Nan Fourth High School... Cheng Xing's information, quickly... He's just an orphan, right? Okay.”
After Xu Father confirmed Cheng Xing's background, he made another call.
“Sang Biao? I want to ask you to kill someone...”
......
On the street.
“Cheng Xing, does what you said about marrying me when we grew up still count?”
Chu Yanyan tilted her head, looking intently at Cheng Xing, her eyes filled with anticipation like countless stars.
Hearing this, Cheng Xing's expression stiffened, and he awkwardly rubbed his nose.
He hadn't expected that the little girl he saved after sneaking out of the orphanage back then, and then brought back to the orphanage, whom he teased because she was cute, would cause trouble.
That's right, Cheng Xing and Chu Yanyan had known each other for a long time.
It was the first winter after South China Base was built. Affected by the apocalypse, goose feather snow fell even in the south, making all southerners excitedly dance with joy.
Cheng Xing also couldn't resist, secretly running out of the orphanage to play in the snow, only to be chased all over the place by the caretaker. To avoid the caretaker, he hid in a dilapidated old factory site.
Unexpectedly, in a small room there, he found Chu Yanyan shivering from the cold.
Afterward, he brought Chu Yanyan back to the orphanage. During their time at the orphanage, Cheng Xing, in a playful mood, liked to tease this cute little girl whenever he had nothing to do.
After living in the orphanage for nearly half a year, Chu Yanyan's parents finally found her. Only then did they learn that at the beginning of the base's construction, various forces within the base were intertwined, and undercurrents surged.
Chu Yanyan had been kidnapped by the Chu family's enemies.
When the Chu family compromised, but the other party couldn't produce Chu Yanyan, her parents thought their daughter was dead. They fought the other party regardless of the consequences, spending half a year to annihilate them.
Only then did they discover that Chu Yanyan had been staying at the orphanage all along.
On the night she was taken back to the Chu family, Chu Yanyan cried profusely, and Cheng Xing had no choice but to promise to marry her when she came of age. Only then did this little girl obediently go home.
He just didn't expect that when they met again years later, in high school, she had already grown into a graceful young woman, and she still remembered what happened that year. However, the two maintained a very good distance, neither far nor near, at most friends, and never mentioned their final promise.
Three years passed peacefully like this, until after her awakening, Chu Yanyan today openly showed favoritism towards him, and even directly flared up at Xu Wenxuan's targeting.
“Didn't you forget about this?” Cheng Xing chuckled.
“You don't even know, my family are all old fogies, saying things like we're not a good match.”
“I had to endure it, and I finally endured until the day I awakened. Now I'm an A-rank talent, so their opposition is useless!”
Hearing this, Chu Yanyan seemed to remember something and immediately puffed up her face in anger, complaining while waving her small pink fists.
“Pfft.”
Cheng Xing looked at Chu Yanyan's cute appearance and couldn't help but laugh, which was then met with a flurry of pink fist attacks.
The two bickered and played all the way, unknowingly arriving at the old city district.
The roads in the old city district were narrow, and the traffic instantly became dense. The bodyguards following behind were stuck in traffic, watching helplessly as Cheng Xing and Chu Yanyan disappeared from their sight after turning a corner.
The bodyguards quickly got out of the car and chased after them, but found no trace of them.
“Can't you guys come up with some new tricks?”
In a dark alley invisible to the bodyguards, Cheng Xing shielded Chu Yanyan behind him, looking at the hooligans surrounding them, and asked boredly.
It's this cliché of hooligans blocking people again. Cheng Xing isn't annoyed, but the readers are!
