Chapter 3: I Was Just Trying To Reject That Idiot Zhao Ming!
At the same time, inside a high-end cafe.
"Ah ah ah ah!!!! I'm so angry!!"
Li Ya cursed in a low voice, the girl wearing a purple dress, sitting elegantly at the table, her two small hands tightly clenched together, her original elegant demeanor gone, as she was desperately suppressing her anger.
"What's wrong, Xiao Ya? Did that Jin Feichen not know what's good for him?"
The girl opposite her asked gently and solicitously.
"Hmph."
Li Ya snorted lightly, crossed her arms, and said, "He found out that I was intentionally using him as a shield."
"Eh?"
The girl let out a soft sound of surprise, "Did someone tell him?"
Li Ya rolled her eyes at her and said coldly, "You wouldn't really think he's as simple-minded as he looks, would you? Although he walks around all day with eyes that look like he hasn't woken up, he's actually very clear-headed and quickly figured out what was really going on."
"You know him so well, ah!"
The girl suddenly covered her mouth with one hand, looking at Li Ya in shock, "You didn't really fall for Jin Feichen, did you?"
"How is that possible?!"
Li Ya rejected the idea without even thinking, "What kind of person is Li Ya? What is he? Just an orphan. If it wasn't because I saw he had some cleverness, plus Zhao Ming also disliked him, do you think I would use him as a shield?"
Li Ya paused, then spoke again with some annoyance, "This Zhao Ming is really sick too. He just had to confess to me before the Awakening. What do you say, should I agree or not agree? If I just agree like this, what if he awakens a useless Si Ming Heavenly Object? If I directly refuse, what if he awakens a good Si Ming Heavenly Object? This idiot, he's driving me crazy."
The Zhao Ming she spoke of was the Young Master of the Zhao Family from Nanjing. His Family could be said to be an absolute power in Nanjing, and although Li Ya's Family was an unreachable giant in the eyes of ordinary people, in the eyes of the Zhao Family, they were ultimately just insignificant.
"Everything depends on tomorrow's Awakening."
...
The next morning, June 10th, the day of the Great Xia Awakening.
Jinling City Second Tianwu High School.
Senior Year (1) Class.
A cold man wearing a standard Teacher's uniform and gold-rimmed glasses stood on the podium.
His name was Hu Zhu, and he was the Director of this class. At this moment, he was seriously explaining the precautions for the Awakening to the students.
"Students, I've already talked about the key points of the Awakening many times, and I believe everyone is tired of hearing it, so let's talk about something else."
The Teacher pushed up the glasses on his nose, leaned casually on the desk with one hand, and spoke with a relaxed smile, using the most ordinary tone:
"After today, perhaps we will never meet again, perhaps we will never see each other, perhaps you and I will not forget each other for a long time, or perhaps we will quickly fade away,
Your journey will officially begin today, and I hope you can understand that Awakening cannot truly determine a person's entire life. If the result is not satisfactory, please do not be discouraged. Your life is still long.
Awakening is just a necessary path. No one will win everything because of the Awakening, and likewise, no one will lose everything because of the Awakening. As long as you cross this path, you are already great.
Finally, I wish everyone's wishes come true."
As soon as he finished speaking, before the students in their seats could start applauding and crying, an untimely knock sounded at the classroom door.
Knock knock.
"I'm really sorry for the interruption, although I've already interrupted."
Immediately, gazes with different expressions turned towards the classroom door.
They saw the sleepy-eyed Jin Feichen, standing there with his characteristic dead fish eyes, yawning as if nothing was wrong.
"Oh, you're here."
The Teacher seemed already used to it and greeted Jin Feichen without any anger, "It's a pity, you missed a speech I stayed up all night preparing. I almost made myself cry."
Jin Feichen scratched his head, walked into the classroom expressionlessly, and while walking towards the seat by the window in the back row, he replied, "Don't feel sorry, I heard it. By the way, let me remind you, this set of words is what they said to college entrance exam students in the old era, it's not suitable now. Whether the Awakening is good or bad determines whether you can still be human, don't say it so lightly."
"Oh, right."
Jin Feichen's butt, which had just sat on the chair, paused, then lifted again. Under the countless puzzled gazes in the classroom, he walked up to Li Ya and tapped the desk with one finger.
Li Ya was stunned, "What do you want?"
"Breakfast, didn't I tell you last night in bed?"
Jin Feichen casually dropped a bomb.
As expected, as soon as these words came out, the classroom instantly exploded.
"Night?! In bed?!! What the hell?!!"
"Is this something I can listen to for free?!!"
"It must be fake! Goddess Li Ya actually!! Ah!!!"
"You never know, Li Ya herself said she liked Jin Feichen. The key is, this is too fast!!! We said let you two get to know each other, not let you two get down to business!"
The crowd was like a lit dynamite barrel, various golden phrases frequently bursting out.
As for why the Teacher didn't intervene, it was because the Teacher was also excitedly eating melon...
And where there is joy, there is sorrow. In the first row of the class, Zhao Ming, with his slicked-back hair, stared at Jin Feichen with bloodshot eyes, as if he wanted to skin him alive, his gaze incredibly cold.
Grinding sounds constantly came from his fists, and his trembling shoulders also showed his turbulent inner state at this moment.
Bang!
Li Ya, the person involved, stood up from the table with pink cheeks and shouted, "Jin Feichen! What nonsense are you talking about!!"
"That's strange, aren't you the one who started talking nonsense?"
Jin Feichen had a face full of innocence, "Didn't you dislike Zhao Ming for being short and weak, then abandoned darkness for light and came to me, and even said you'd bring me high-end breakfast? Really, you don't recognize people after you're full."
Saying this, Jin Feichen lowered his head with a dejected expression, looking heartbroken.
Whoosh--
As soon as these words came out, they once again caused an uproar among the melon-eating crowd.
"Jin Feichen!! Shut up, try saying another word of nonsense?!"
Looking at the crowd around her with eyes glowing green, Li Ya was almost losing her mind.
"Eh? Try?"
Jin Feichen smiled shyly, "Is it like last night? In broad daylight like this, aren't you ashamed~?"
"Shut up, if you dare to speak again, I'll kill you!!"
"Don't you like me anymore? Why do you want to kill me?"
"Who would like a good-for-nothing like you!! I was just using you as a shield to reject Zhao Ming!!"
Li Ya completely lost her reason and shouted frantically.
"Unbelievable!"
Jin Feichen pointed at Li Ya with both hands and shouted, "So you were lying to me, ah! This is truly a heartbreaking story, hahahaha."
After saying that, the smile on his face instantly disappeared, returning to his expressionless look. He turned around and left without looking back, "Thank you for the breakfast. Although eating melon first thing in the morning is easy to upset your stomach, it quenches thirst, which is not bad."
At this moment, Li Ya also realized belatedly that she had said the wrong thing. The sudden situation made her flustered. For a moment, she didn't know what to do and could only stand there blankly.
Looking at the surrounding eyes full of sudden understanding, and then at Zhao Ming's incredibly cold gaze, her clenched fists had unknowingly loosened and began to tremble uncontrollably. Her face was pale, her body stiff, and she was unable to speak.
Ding dong--
Ding dong--
Just then, the classroom broadcast sounded.
