“See, it’s not as hard as you imagined, right?”
Hu Yuying nodded heavily.
During the discussion they had just had, there hadn’t been any unpleasantness.
Moreover, when her problem-solving approach was correct, they all listened quietly without arguing or causing trouble.
“If you keep this up, you’ll definitely make a lot of good friends in the future.”
Hearing this, the smile in Hu Yuying’s eyes slowly faded, replaced by a calm expression.
She took out her exercise book and handed the key questions she had written down to Long Aotian: “Long Aotian, solve these.”
“These are the key points. If you master them, you’ll score well.”
If possible, she really hoped Long Aotian could achieve his dream, enter university, and embark on a completely different life.
She would do her utmost to help him, just as he had helped her.
The first self-study session ended.
The female classmates who had discussed math problems with Hu Yuying earlier were now lingering in the hallway, holding their test papers and hesitating.
Seeing this, Long Aotian got up and walked toward the door.
Hu Yuying instinctively followed.
Long Aotian chuckled, “I’m going to the restroom. Stay here!”
With that, he left his seat.
Hu Yuying’s gaze followed him closely.
Only after Long Aotian left did the girls approach Hu Yuying.
“Do you have a simpler way to solve the big problem the teacher explained today?”
Seeing her classmates actively seeking her out to discuss the problem, Hu Yuying smiled and nodded.
“Yuying, maybe you should sit by yourself and not be Long Aotian’s desk mate anymore.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the other girls nodded in agreement. “Yeah, we don’t dare come over when he’s around.”
“We can often discuss topics together. You know what they say, three heads are better than one. Studying together will save us more time for other exercises.”
Hearing this, Hu Yuying’s expression froze for a moment.
“No, you’ve all misunderstood. Long Aotian... he’s actually a good person.”
Her classmates clearly didn’t agree with Hu Yuying’s assessment.
They knew exactly what kind of person Long Aotian was.
Seeing their disbelief, Hu Yuying wanted to explain, to tell them that if they just let go of their prejudices, they would realize Long Aotian was kind and gentle.
But there wasn’t enough time.
The discussion had taken up a lot of time, and now the bell rang for class. Everyone returned to their seats.
At the same time, Long Aotian walked back into the classroom.
After sitting down, he asked with a smile, “How was it? Friendships are built little by little like this.”
“So, you went to the restroom just to give us space?” Hu Yuying’s beautiful eyes shimmered with complex emotions.
“What are you talking about? I really went to the restroom,” Long Aotian laughed.
“Oh,” Hu Yuying lowered her gaze.
She knew Long Aotian was lying. Who takes ten minutes to go to the restroom?
And as soon as the bell rang and the girls left, Long Aotian walked back in.
But Hu Yuying didn’t say anything.
If Long Aotian didn’t want her to know, she would pretend not to know.
Everyone said Long Aotian was bad, but in her eyes, he was the best person she had ever met in all these years.
“Long Aotian, you’re the best person I’ve ever met.”
Hearing this, a hint of satisfaction appeared in Long Aotian’s smile.
With the soul of a 28-year-old, he knew exactly how people talked about him behind his back.
Of course, they weren’t wrong. The Long Aotian from the original novel wasn’t exactly a good person.
Fighting, skipping classes, and cursing had become his norm.
Even though he had toned it down after transmigrating, the impression he left on others wasn’t something that could be changed overnight.
But so what? Long Aotian couldn’t control others’ thoughts. All he could do was focus on doing what he believed was right.
Besides, it was already the second semester of their senior year. In a few months, they would face the college entrance exam and scatter to different parts of the world.
To him, they were just passing figures in his life.
And the same went for them.
So Long Aotian truly didn’t take it to heart.
He had changed the plot and Hu Yuying’s impression of him.
That was good. Everything was moving in a positive direction.
At least it proved he was on the right track.
“Good. Don’t forget you have a big brother when you make it big in the future.”
“I won’t forget,” Hu Yuying’s voice was soft but firm.
“Life will throw many things at you. Do what you believe is right, and don’t care about what others say. Because you are you, and others come after.”
“As your big brother, I’m telling you, no one is more important than yourself. When it comes to interests, learn to make choices. That’s just how life is.”
This was Long Aotian speaking from the perspective of an adult.
Though his words were a bit too realistic, Hu Yuying would eventually experience these things. He didn’t expect her to understand now, but he hoped she would make the right choices.
Class 1!
As the bell rang, Li Qingxue, the class monitor of Class 1, began handing out test papers. Their last self-study session would be a small test.
When she reached Ye Liangchen’s desk, Li Qingxue looked at him calmly. “I’ve realized my past mistakes. I won’t repeat them. I hope we can still be friends.”
After saying this, she handed the test paper to Ye Liangchen.
She had come to school today without speaking to Ye Liangchen, instead chatting with her desk mate about their holiday.
It proved that friendships were like that.
She had no right to demand that anyone stay by her side. That wasn’t what true friendship was about.
She wanted to admit her mistakes to Ye Liangchen, but her pride as a girl held her back. Besides, Ye Liangchen had recently said those things to her in front of everyone...
She could only take this moment while handing out papers to apologize to him.
It was her own confusion that had led to giving Ye Liangchen the wrong impression.
After saying this, Li Qingxue felt much better. In the future, before meeting someone who made her heart race, she would learn to maintain a proper distance with the opposite sex.
Hearing Li Qingxue’s words, Ye Liangchen didn’t feel happy. Instead, he frowned.
“What does this mean?”
“Shouldn’t she be questioning me about why I posted that status?”
His frown deepened, but the next moment, it relaxed, and a smile appeared on his lips.
He thought he understood now...
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!

u Chenyuan transmigrated into a female-oriented novel about a real and fake heiress, becoming the CEO elder brother of both. Unfortunately, the entire Lu family—including himself, the CEO—were mere cannon fodder in the story. Determined to save himself, Lu Chenyuan took action. The spoiled, attention-seeking fake heiress? Thrown into the harsh realities of the working class to learn humility. The love-struck real heiress? Pushed toward academic excellence, so lofty goals would blind her to trivial romances. As for the betrayed, vengeful arranged marriage wife… the plot hadn’t even begun yet. There was still time—if he couldn’t handle her, he could at least avoid her. "CEO Lu, are you avoiding me?" Mo Qingli fixed her gaze on Lu Chenyuan. For the first time, the shrewd and calculating Lu Chenyuan felt a flicker of unease.
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
