Chapter 59
With only two days left until the holiday, people's minds were inevitably a bit distracted, so the teaching work for these two days was adjusted accordingly.
Hao Cuiyun walked in holding her lesson plans, stepped up to the podium, and looked around.
Noticing her stern gaze, the chatter in the classroom instantly vanished without a trace.
"Talk, talk, talk! I could hear your voices all the way from the hallway. Our class is always the loudest!"
Throwing the lesson plans onto the podium, Hao Cuiyun went into a frenzy.
Basically, this is the mode every homeroom teacher enters after an exam.
Saying the same things, doing the same things, teaching batch after batch of students.
"Out of more than ten classes, our class has the lowest average score! Where did everything I usually teach you go?"
Seeing Hao Cuiyun losing her temper, the students in the class lowered their heads one after another, entering a state of 'in one ear, out the other'.
It was the kind of stubborn psychological resilience where they let you scold all you want, but they wouldn't listen to a single word.
Gu Ran picked his ear and lowered his head to continue doing exercises.
Even though he usually didn't pay attention in class, he knew Hao Cuiyun's habits.
After every exam, she would first unleash a wave of verbal output, criticizing the recent learning atmosphere, all to grasp the students' motivation for fear that they would develop lazy emotions.
After she finished speaking, she cleared her throat and specifically praised Gu Ran, who had made great progress recently.
"Those of you whose grades are falling behind, don't be discouraged. Look at Gu Ran, he scored over five hundred points in this exam. As long as you work hard, you will definitely reap rewards!"
Sprinkling a bowl of chicken soup for the soul, Hao Cuiyun began to explain the exercises on the test paper.
...
Two days passed in a flash. During the classes, the teachers of various subjects all explained the test papers and didn't assign any other tasks.
On the twenty-fifth of the twelfth lunar month, the last class of the afternoon was Li Sinan's English class.
She wore a black knit sweater and dark jeans, looking capable while also carrying a hint of a mature, older sister vibe.
But even so, she couldn't capture the students' attention.
The upcoming holiday of more than ten days was enough to cause restlessness among the senior high school students.
"Oh my, focus, everyone focus, let me finish explaining this question."
Seeing that the students below couldn't take in the lesson, Li Sinan smiled helplessly, coaxing them to listen.
This was a characteristic of young teachers; they were willing to mingle with the students, unlike older teachers who, in this situation, would probably already be slamming the podium.
Gu Ran also lost his mood for studying, but he didn't join in their conversations. Instead, he stared out the window in a daze.
Temple Run had been debugged and was now only lacking art resources and voice acting, but there was still no news.
He racked his brains for a long time but couldn't come up with a solution, and his head couldn't help but ache.
Finally managing to hold on until the school dismissal bell rang, a roar of celebration erupted in every classroom.
Li Sinan stood on the podium, smiled helplessly, and tried to quiet everyone down.
However, the effect was not obvious.
"Then I won't say much more. I wish everyone a happy New Year in advance."
Saying that, she packed up her lesson plans and blinked playfully at the students below.
The students all liked this approachable teacher very much. They all laughed along and replied loudly, "Happy New Year to you too, Ms. Li!"
"Alright, then I'll assign the winter vacation homework now."
As soon as she finished speaking, a wail rose from below.
"Teacher, please don't! It's only a ten-day holiday, how can you call it a winter vacation? Don't give us homework."
"Yeah, yeah, teacher, if you really have to, just give us a little bit."
Hearing this, Li Sinan blinked and said with a grin, "Then... I'll just assign a little bit, because the dean requested it. And you must remember to study when you go home. Don't just play all the time, or you won't know how to do any questions when you come back for school."
As soon as she finished speaking, Hao Cuiyun walked into the classroom, smiled amiably, and began to talk about holiday safety precautions.
Before every holiday, the homeroom teacher would emphasize this. The students found it tedious to listen to, and the teacher found it boring to talk about.
Gu Ran, however, found it very interesting. Resting his chin on his hand, he stared at Li Sinan standing at the door and listened attentively.
Noticing his gaze, Li Sinan blinked, then lifted her chin toward the podium, as if telling him to listen carefully!
In response, Gu Ran smiled but didn't look away; his eyes looked straight at the beautiful figure at the door.
...
The young girl's class ended very early today, and she quietly came to wait at the door of Gu Ran's classroom.
Waiting until the chattering Hao Cuiyun finished her emphasis, Gu Ran grabbed his schoolbag and was about to walk out of the classroom.
"Gu Ran!"
Seeing his actions, Hao Cuiyun raised an eyebrow and couldn't help but instruct, "Keep it up when you go home, study hard, and don't regress right after making progress."
"Got it, teach! Happy New Year in advance!"
Gu Ran smiled and nodded, then waved his hand.
Seeing him walk out of the classroom, Li Sinan also nodded at Hao Cuiyun and followed him out.
Seeing Gu Ran come out, Ye Zhenzhen's eyes unconsciously curved into a smile as she looked at him.
Just as she was about to complain about why he was so slow today, the smile on her pretty face vanished without a trace the next second.
"Student Gu, you must study English when you go home."
A pleasant voice sounded, but the expression on Ye Zhenzhen's face became increasingly indifferent.
Seeing Li Sinan following behind Gu Ran, she nodded obediently and greeted her politely.
"Ah, student Ye Zhenzhen, are you here to wait for Gu Ran after school?"
Li Sinan smiled gently, gossip lighting up her eyes.
The aloof girl nodded slightly upon hearing this, a blush inevitably creeping onto her pretty face.
Seeing this, Li Sinan chuckled softly and then said, "Then you guys chat, I won't hold you up."
One sentence made the aloof girl lower her head again, the blush on her face deepening a few shades.
"Goodbye, Ms. Li."
Gu Ran waved his hand honestly, sending off the bad teacher who was teasing his older sister.
Turning his head, he looked at the blushing girl, grinned, and was just about to speak when he suffered a ruthless blow.
"Shut up, hurry up and go home!"
Ye Zhenzhen tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, kicked him lightly, and spat.
Gu Ran: "???"
You were like a quail just now, you didn't have this attitude!
What does this mean, you can only bully me?
A typical tyrant at home?!
...
In the dead of night, Ye Zhenzhen sat at the desk in her room, looking down at the test papers in front of her, but her mind was elsewhere.
She looked back at the balcony door from time to time, then glanced at the time, not understanding what that guy Gu Ran was doing.
Didn't he say they were going to watch a midnight movie tonight? It's already past nine o'clock, why isn't he here yet?
If it gets any later, how can they go out?
Slowpoke!
Just as she was complaining, Gu Ran walked in through the balcony door, carrying a projector and a laptop...
s the Eldest Princess, renowned for her cold and aloof detachment, became the most docile of lambs, obeying his every command without question. But when the final move was played on the chessboard, as Gu Chenghan seized everything and ascended on the verge of apotheosis, that very Princess suddenly embraced him from behind, her tone carrying a dependence never heard before: "Wait... you haven't yet... commanded me to love you forever." Gu Chenghan froze abruptly. She... hadn't been hypnotized?! ...

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
uld barely embark on the path to immortality. Just as he was on the verge of death, his golden finger awakened. No matter whether it was poison, drained blood and vital energy, diminished lifespan, or any other physical debuff caused by paying a price—once midnight passed, everything would be refreshed. From then on, whenever someone asked what kind of person Chu Ran was, the answer was simple: Forbidden arts that other cultivators dared not learn? Chu Ran would learn them. Prices that even demonic cultivators dared not pay? Chu Ran would pay them. Lifespan that even righteous cultivators dared not burn? Chu Ran would burn it. All the blood essence in his body? Take it. Want both his hands and feet? He would cut them off and send them to you. You say he’s finished? He wasn’t built to sit idle. You think he’s gone mad? No—he was simply waiting for midnight. From that day onward, Chu Ran would respect neither Heaven nor Earth, bow to neither gods nor ghosts. He had only one wish: For midnight to arrive a little sooner.
