6:30 AM
Su Cheng woke up in bed, sitting up and taking a few minutes to gather himself before picking up his phone to check it.
Yesterday, on a weekend evening, he had chatted with Xuan Ying and Zhao Yan on the phone about various topics.
What kind of birthday gifts they were looking forward to, who they planned to spend Valentine's Day with this year, what they did over the weekend, and even password issues for their social media accounts.
This made him feel a bit strange. Was this how classmates usually chatted after adding each other on social media?
Su Cheng couldn't quite describe this mode of interaction. It was just very strange, and he didn't know how to put it into words.
If he had to describe it, he felt that the two girls were perhaps a bit too enthusiastic, often joking around with him or occasionally saying something flirtatious, which made him feel a bit awkward.
This even led him to the illusion that they might like him.
But this thought was immediately extinguished by him.
That was impossible.
Although he was indeed good-looking and had a decent physique now, he wasn't particularly eye-catching at school, and he was just an ordinary student without any family background.
What was there about him that would attract the attention of the two girls?
Was it because of the incident where he stood up to a cashier?
Did that move them?
Come on, that was so uncivilized!
In today's society, who would still like someone who acted uncivilized?
Reporting a wanted fugitive?
Anyone would have done that.
It had nothing to do with bravery; there was a reward involved.
Su Cheng shook his head to rid himself of these messy thoughts and found his school uniform.
This Western-style uniform was very difficult to put on, and he also had to tie a tie.
It took him a full fifteen minutes to learn how to tie the tie.
Although the fabric was top-notch, he felt extremely uncomfortable wearing it.
Aside from looking handsome, he felt it was useless.
It was even less comfortable than the blue-and-white school uniform he wore in his previous life.
Maybe it was just like a wild boar not being used to fine grain.
After a simple breakfast, he went to the parking lot, found his bicycle, and rode it out. On the way, he noticed that the previously unsold parking spaces had now been sold, and the parking spaces were almost completely occupied by vehicles.
"It seems that only when their interests are affected will they change,"
he thought to himself, then rode his bicycle out of the apartment.
"Su junior~"
As he passed by a bus stop, a familiar voice rang out beside his ear.
He stopped and turned his head to look behind him, only to see a short-haired girl getting off the bus and waving at him.
It was Liu Qingyue, whom he hadn't seen for two days.
Her hair length was just above the middle of her neck, and her flowing short hair looked very ethereal as she ran over.
Hmm, what was this hairstyle called?
Sister cut?
First love short hair?
Su Cheng wasn't sure.
Liu Qingyue was wearing her school uniform, with black pleated skirt and knee-high socks that were a bit tight on her thighs. If you looked closely, you could see the slight indentation. The top of her uniform had a red bow tied at the collar, making her look very cute and pretty.
"Su junior, long time no see, good morning!"
Liu Qingyue ran over with a bright smile on her delicate face, looking very sweet and refreshing.
Especially the unique fresh scent from Liu Qingyue's body wafted towards him, making him a bit dazed.
"Good morning, Liu senior."
Su Cheng smiled and nodded, his gentlemanly gaze sweeping over Liu Qingyue's body before finally resting on her long, straight, silk-stocking-clad legs.
These legs were of the caliber that could be admired for a decade.
Very suitable for pedaling a tricycle.
"Hmm, it seems like the junior's boldness has increased a bit."
Liu Qingyue seemed to notice Su Cheng's gaze, shook her beautiful legs, and then looked at Su Cheng.
Su Cheng quickly moved his gaze away, pretending nothing had happened.
Another faint fragrance wafted around his nose, and finally, he turned his head to look at Liu Qingyue, subconsciously changing the subject: "This... senior, you smell so nice!"
Liu Qingyue was slightly taken aback, then waved her hand in front of Su Cheng's face, saying: "Junior, did you smell it?"
"Yes, I did."
Su Cheng nodded.
"But I didn't spray any perfume."
She said puzzled, then put her index finger on her lips, making a thinking expression.
"I know, the book says it's because of genetic attraction, the destined other half will emit a fragrance!"
After saying that, Liu Qingyue suddenly got close to Su Cheng, sniffed seriously, and whispered: "Junior, you also smell nice~"
Su Cheng was startled, subconsciously pulling his bike back a step, his cheeks turning red as he looked at Liu Qingyue, saying: "Liu senior, don't joke around."
This woman was too terrifying.
Too good at it!
Staying with her, he might be unexpectedly conquered by her in the future.
Su Cheng couldn't help but feel a bit scared.
Liu Qingyue blinked her eyes, then smiled: "Su junior, you're shy, aren't you~"
As she spoke, she took two steps forward, then sat sideways on Su Cheng's back seat, pressing her skirt down, and said: "Can you give senior a ride?"
Since they had chatted over the weekend, Su Cheng had told Liu Qingyue that he would no longer take the bus and would ride his bike to school.
And so, Su Cheng's back seat finally welcomed its first beautiful girl.
"Then hold on tight."
Su Cheng stepped on the pedal and rode forward.
"Junior, are you going to join a club today?"
"Yes, is there anything I should pay attention to?"
Su Cheng replied.
"This... let me think, let me think~"
Liu Qingyue thought as she spoke.
Su Cheng didn't say anything, just quietly drove the bike, thinking about whether to confess to Liu Qingyue.
Because the question mark above his head made him a bit itchy.
Especially since he had wasted a chance yesterday.
But he was also afraid that Liu Qingyue might agree, so he was very conflicted.
After thinking about it, he decided to give up.
"When you go to the Archery Club manager on the third floor of the club building, just don't go to the second floor."
Liu Qingyue suddenly said.
"Ah? Why?"
Hearing her words, Su Cheng was taken aback.
"Because the senior students have left, some clubs this year can't gather enough members and are facing disbandment, so they are going all out to recruit new members."
Liu Qingyue continued: "Maybe junior will encounter some strange trouble if you go in."
"Hmm, I understand."
Su Cheng nodded.
"This is my first time riding a bicycle, it feels very nice."
Liu Qingyue suddenly said, looking at some pedestrians on the roadside, occasionally receiving envious glances from them.
"Huh? Senior hasn't ridden a bicycle before?"
Su Cheng asked in surprise.
"Yes." Liu Qingyue continued: "Because of practicing dance since childhood, my parents absolutely wouldn't let me ride such a tool that would ruin my leg shape, so I've always walked or taken the bus."
"I see."
Su Cheng responded vaguely.
"Then, junior, can you give me a ride to school in the future?"
Liu Qingyue looked at Su Cheng, her beautiful eyes shining.
"That's no problem, it's on the way anyway."
Su Cheng didn't mind.
"Great, junior, I really like you so much."
Liu Qingyue grabbed Su Cheng's waist with both hands, hugged him tightly, and exclaimed excitedly.
"Let go, I'm driving!"
Su Cheng was startled by this sudden hug, almost losing control of the bike.
Fortunately, he managed to steady it in time.
Liu Qingyue quickly let go of Su Cheng, her face showing a hint of apology as she said: "Sorry, I didn't mean it, I was just too happy and couldn't help it."
Meanwhile,
Not far from Su Cheng, in a luxury car, there was a girl inside, glaring at Su Cheng and Liu Qingyue from afar, her silver teeth clenched, her fists clenched so tightly that they creaked, her cute face full of anger.
"How dare you, I haven't even sat on it, you not only get to ride but even hug Su Cheng, unforgivable, absolutely unforgivable!"
"Bad woman!"
Xuan Ying was so angry that she gnashed her teeth, her fists clenched in front of her chest, as if she wanted to tear Liu Qingyue apart.
"M... Miss... what's wrong with you?"
The driver in the driver's seat, seeing Xuan Ying's appearance, was scared.
"It's nothing, just drop me off at the XX apartment entrance from now on."
Xuan Ying's nose felt sour, tears unwillingly rolling down and dripping onto the car seat, leaving a small wet spot.
"Yes, Miss."
The driver hurriedly replied respectfully.

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.
