Afternoon
PE class had ended.
Since it was Su Cheng and Wang Guancong's turn for classroom duty today.
So Su Cheng didn't go straight to his club activities, but returned to the classroom to clean up.
"I'm so envious of you!"
On the way back to the classroom, Wang Guancong looked at the two bottles in Su Cheng's hands, his eyes full of jealousy and envy.
"There's nothing to be envious about."
Su Cheng glanced at the beverage and mineral water in his hands.
The beverage was from Xuan Ying.
It was a bottle of freshly squeezed juice.
And the mineral water was from Zhao Yan.
Though it was just mineral water, it cost over twenty yuan.
He initially didn't want to accept them, but both girls said it was to thank him for his hospitality when they visited his home, so he had no choice but to accept.
"Damn it! Do you know how blessed it is to have girls bringing you water after PE class!"
Wang Guancong's tone was full of sourness, but he wasn't really jealous of Su Cheng, as he knew both girls had previously criticized Su Cheng, and they were probably just giving him water to apologize.
But even so, he was still envious.
Getting water from two class beauties - shouldn't this be recorded in history?
"Let's hurry up and clean, we still need to go to club activities later!"
Su Cheng said.
"You go get the water. I'll do the wiping, since you have so much water anyway!"
Wang Guancong looked at the bottles in his hand, his meaning obvious.
"Fine."
Su Cheng didn't mind. After putting the two bottles in his drawer, he took a bucket from the utility cabinet and walked to the bathroom sink.
As expected of an elite school, everything had to maintain proper standards.
Soon, he returned with the water.
After placing the bucket on the desk, he poured water into a basin and put in a cloth, ready to start wiping.
Meanwhile, Wang Guancong held a broom, staring out the window at something.
"Holy crap, Su Cheng, come look! Third-year students are fighting, they're arguing!"
Wang Guancong suddenly shouted at Su Cheng.
"Nothing worth seeing."
Su Cheng shook his head and continued cleaning diligently. Right now he just wanted to finish cleaning quickly so he could confess to Ji Qingyi.
He wasn't surprised by such incidents, as wherever there are people, there will be grudges.
Besides, fights at this school were nothing new to him.
The level of insults was too low - everyone's quality needed some serious lowering.
"Come look quickly! Some idiot went to break up the fight and got slapped hard by a third-year senior!"
Wang Guancong was laughing so hard his stomach hurt at the scene outside.
"Oh? Let me see~"
This immediately caught Su Cheng's attention - arguing and fighting were completely different concepts. So he put down his work and went to the window to look outside.
"Holy shit!"
Wang Guancong suddenly dropped his tools and rushed towards the door.
Just as Su Cheng was confused, he shouted: "The one who got slapped is that idiot Chai Hao!"
"..."
Su Cheng was speechless, not knowing what to say. He could only hurry after him.
Although Wang Guancong often complained about and criticized Chai Hao,
At this crucial moment, he showed true friendship.
This is the bond between friends, something that can't be measured by money.
When the two rushed downstairs, they saw a crowd gathered around. Su Cheng quickly squeezed through and saw Chai Hao being held back by the Disciplinary Committee Member while continuously trying to throw punches at the senior.
The senior kept taunting him: "Still want to meddle in others' business? Don't know your place?"
"You're just a bully, I spit on you!"
Chai Hao refused to back down, still struggling desperately.
Su Cheng arrived at the scene and immediately analyzed the situation.
Chai Hao had tried to break up a fight.
Then inexplicably got slapped.
Initially, it was a conflict between two third-year students, but Chai Hao, a first-year, insisted on mediating, which angered one of them who then slapped him.
The other third-year student just stood by watching.
Wang Guancong was now also holding Chai Hao back.
Su Cheng stood beside Wang Guancong, frowning at Chai Hao's swollen cheek.
That was quite a hard slap.
Soon, the student council members arrived.
The three were taken to the student council office.
"That idiot Chai Hao, nothing better to do than bite a lighter? Why did he have to meddle!"
Wang Guancong sighed helplessly, watching Chai Hao's retreating figure.
"How will this be handled?"
Su Cheng asked curiously.
"This kind of thing definitely needs serious handling. Chai Hao probably won't get in trouble, but that slap was for nothing. That senior will likely just write a self-criticism report and apologize, then get a demerit announced to the whole school."
Wang Guancong shook his head and stopped talking.
But the next second—
Wang Guancong suddenly spotted a girl walking while wearing headphones, not watching where she was going. He immediately shouted excitedly: "President! President!"
"I need to tell the president about this, let her stand up for Chai Hao!"
He then ran towards the girl with headphones!
Su Cheng turned to look when he heard this, and realized upon seeing the girl.
So she was the E-sports Club president!
This girl was the Ross Family heiress that Liu Qingyue had mentioned before.
He saw Wang Guancong run up to the girl, who removed her headphones.
After Wang Guancong said something, the girl's expression visibly turned terrible. Though Su Cheng couldn't hear their conversation from afar, he could sense the girl's anger, and then the two walked straight towards the student council office.
"She's a president who protects her own. Should try confessing to her sometime, definitely S-level material."
Su Cheng remarked, glancing at the confession mark above the girl's head, then muttered: "I'll ask about what happened tomorrow."
With that, he walked back to the teaching building to clean up by himself.
Fifteen minutes later
He arrived at the Archery Club.
As soon as he walked in, he could feel the atmosphere was completely different from yesterday.
Ji Qingyi must be here today, otherwise it wouldn't be so serious.
"Junior Su, why are you so late today?"
Senior Wang teased with a smile.
Su Cheng scratched his head and said apologetically: "I had classroom duty and forgot to notify in advance, so I'm a bit late, sorry."
"It's fine, hurry in, the president is waiting for you in the office."
"Okay."
Hearing Senior Wang's words, Su Cheng quickened his pace towards the inner office, his heart racing.
Because today he was saving his confession attempt for this president.
Since he was approaching with a purpose this time,
He couldn't control his micro-expressions, and his intentions might be exposed as soon as he entered.
Although technically micro-expressions are fleeting, lasting at most 0.2 seconds,
That abnormal president inside could definitely catch them.
So, at the office door, he took a deep breath, trying to empty his mind to reach a state of tranquility, continuously adjusting his breathing rate and frequency, then touched his cheeks, forcing himself to stay calm.
"What are you doing out there?"
Suddenly an icy female voice reached Su Cheng's ears.
This cold voice was like a demonic sound, making Su Cheng's head slightly dizzy.
He hadn't even knocked, and had walked over with muffled steps, yet the president inside still detected him.
Really terrifying.
If he married her, he probably couldn't even secretly play games at night.
"Knock knock~"
Su Cheng reluctantly knocked on the door.
"Come in."
The cold voice sounded again.
Su Cheng took a deep breath, pushed open the door and entered, then gently closed it behind him. Turning around, he looked at the ice-cold Ji Qingyi sitting in her seat.
She was as cold as ever, but her eyes were fixed intently on Su Cheng, giving him the feeling that all his secrets were exposed.
"Going to confess your love to me again?"
Ji Qingyi's gaze grew sharper, seeming to see right through Su Cheng.
What the hell is there left to play!
Su Cheng broke out in cold sweat upon hearing this.
This woman must be a lie detector.
What else could he do?
So this is what S-level means?
Being instantly exposed before even confessing?
Too scary!
He quickly nodded: "Yes, President Ji is an outstanding person, I want to stay by your side and follow you always, so whenever I see you, I have this urge to confess, but I know it's impossible, so I can only suppress these feelings."
The truth, he was telling the absolute truth!
"Why didn't you do it the day before yesterday?"
Ji Qingyi cut straight to the point, showing no mercy to Su Cheng.
"Because your actions the other day, President, made me feel how much you valued me, that's why I gradually became overconfident!" Su Cheng spoke again.
This was actually the truth!
The inflation of ego brought by divine intervention.
"Sit!" Ji Qingyi pointed to a nearby sofa.
Su Cheng obediently walked over and sat down on the sofa.
His heart was racing; this club president was truly formidable.
And she hadn't rejected him yet, so naturally, there was still no reward.
Ji Qingyi's expression remained neutral as she poured tea, then spoke lazily: "However, I might consider giving you a chance?"
"!!!"
Su Cheng internally screamed 'holy crap!'
What was going on?
Why was she agreeing?!
What kind of person was she?!
Su Cheng was starting to lose it!
But he didn't dare show any signs of losing composure in front of Ji Qingyi, so he desperately controlled his emotions and hurried to answer.
"Re...really? I'll definitely work hard to earn this opportunity!"
This time, Su Cheng didn't deliberately suppress his expression but instead showed excitement, putting on an overjoyed face.
Truth mixed with genuine emotion.
He directly switched concepts, but what he said was still true.
After all, being favored would normally be considered his honor.
Naturally, there would be no cognitive dissonance or imbalance, so she wouldn't be able to detect any lies.
Ji Qingyi raised her head upon hearing this and looked at Su Cheng, her eyes full of playfulness. She seemed to see right through his insincerity.
"Then let me see what kind of pleasured expression you'll show?"
Ji Qingyi put down her cup, stood up, and walked in front of Su Cheng, bending down until her face was just a fist's width away from his, making his hair stand on end.
At this moment, Su Cheng could smell her fragrance, and her face, beautiful enough to take his breath away, was inches from his. Especially that beauty mark at the corner of her eye that emphasized her allure - he could see himself reflected in her eyes.
In the air, their breaths intertwined, creating an ambiguous atmosphere.
For several seconds, she didn't speak. This brief moment felt like years to Su Cheng's anxious heart. Then, as if she had finished enjoying this cat-and-mouse game, she exhaled her orchid-scented breath onto his nose and said, "I'll let you off this time. I refuse."

y came from. The chests contained supplies, currency, class-change scrolls, skills, talents… and even godhood! The laws of the world were completely rewritten.

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.
