By the time the sun had fully risen and the mist in the woods had dissipated, almost everyone had gotten out of bed.
Especially those successful individuals; whether they had a late-night snack or not, they all woke up quite early.
After all, they all worked in the core business departments of major companies and were used to this fast-paced lifestyle.
This was especially true for those in the internet or financial industries, some of whom even had to be on call 24 hours a day.
Even Su Bai, whose body had been enhanced, had to sigh in admiration. These senior alumni were truly energetic. After playing with the junior girls all night, they could still wake up early to chat and laugh, and even take out a portable stove to cook breakfast.
Perhaps this was why, when his class organized a trip to listen to a graduating senior's experience sharing right after enrollment, a senior with heavy dark circles told everyone that the most important thing for so-called high-paying jobs was actually physical stamina...
If your stamina wasn't up to par, you really couldn't do anything, it seemed.
Su Bai also set out his cooking utensils, getting ready to make breakfast.
Breakfast was Wagyu beef udon.
The Wagyu beef had been brought along with the black gold abalone. It was a perfect topping for the udon. The savory fat soaked into the noodles, paired with simple shredded green peppers, onions, and cabbage. For people with high physical activity levels like Su Bai and Xia Lin, it was an incredibly satisfying breakfast.
Actually, quite a while ago, Su Bai had run into Xia in the cafeteria a few times and noticed that Xia always had a very hearty breakfast. He figured that was just how fitness enthusiasts ate.
If it were one of those girls who rarely moved and had poor health, they wouldn't be able to stomach a breakfast that was even slightly greasy.
Xia Lin absolutely loved Wagyu beef udon.
Sure enough, just as Su Bai finished pan-frying the Wagyu, Xia Lin emerged from the expensive Hilleberg tent, her eyes still heavy with sleep. As she walked out, her swaying steps were incredibly adorable.
Recalling how she had begged for mercy when her stamina gave out last night, and the stark contrast with her usual serious image, Su Bai couldn't help but laugh out loud.
His laughter seemed to remind Xia Lin of something too. Blushing, she turned her face away to avoid Su Bai's gaze. Seeing that no one nearby was paying attention to them, she stepped up behind Su Bai and gently wrapped her arms around his waist, like a docile wife.
Oh man~
This felt absolutely amazing.
Whenever Xia Lin made such a domestic, loving-wife gesture, Su Bai felt completely defenseless.
What delicious food are you making?
Wagyu beef udon. I need to properly replenish Xia's energy.
Mhm, nice, I love this.
With that, Xia Lin leaned in, kissed Su Bai on the lips, and whispered in his ear, You can do it, hubby~ She then immediately released her arms from around him and dashed back into the tent.
Su Bai stood frozen for a long moment, then let out an exasperated chuckle.
Damn it. If he wasn't busy cooking, Su Bai definitely would have followed Xia Lin right back into that tent to do a little something else.
How naughty of Xia.
Then again, Xia Lin rarely called him hubby. Usually, she preferred to maintain her dignified older sister persona.
It seemed she was quite satisfied with his performance last night.
It took about ten minutes to finish making breakfast.
He brewed a cup of tea while he was at it.
Xia Lin had also brushed off the shyness brought on by her own teasing behavior.
That's right, when this woman flirted with Su Bai, her own reaction was even bigger than his.
In reality, she didn't act like an older sister at all.
But it couldn't be helped. Humph, who asked Su Bai to be so experienced? Su Bai had so many female confidantes, while she only had Su Bai as her man.
Xia, where's your phone? Su Bai watched Xia Lin focus on eating her breakfast without even playing on her phone, finding it a bit strange.
Ah, I checked my phone before going to sleep last night and heard that Xue Tao went to the hospital, so I just turned it off.
Does that have anything to do with it...
Of course it does. Xue Tao is a student in our class. As his counselor, I should at least go to the hospital to check on him. Well, no rush. I'll pretend I don't know first and go after I help you pack up the tent and everything.
Unbeatable.
This was the interpersonal wisdom of a mature older woman.
To think that Xia Lin was only in her first year of grad school, yet her workplace slacking skills were on par with a seasoned bureaucrat.
Honestly, whatever Xue Tao's situation was right now, once he was sent to the hospital, it really had nothing to do with the counselor anymore. Whether the counselor went or not wouldn't make much of a difference.
In fact, the incident itself had absolutely nothing to do with the counselor; it was an event organized by the outdoors club.
She just needed to go through the motions.
Xia Lin was cherishing her alone time with Su Bai.
This guy had a wild heart, and his daily routine was extremely random. It was hard to say when she would find such a good opportunity again.
Su Bai was also happy to enjoy it. He slowly finished his meal and packed up the tent with Xia Lin.
Garbage and the like naturally had to be bagged and taken away so as not to cause trouble for the environment.
Su Bai even brought a vacuum compression garbage bag. This thing was actually more common in RVs; simply put, it could compress feces...
Su Bai vividly described the compressed feces, making Xia Lin laugh for a good while before she covered his mouth to stop him from saying more.
It was pretty gross right after eating.
The campsite gradually began to pack up. The retreat wasn't coordinated; those who drove usually chose their own time to slip away, while those who carpooled had to wait for their teammates.
The main thing was that some of the older seniors had clearly hit it off with the younger girls, and they were probably going to drive straight to a hotel once they got down the mountain.
Su Bai even saw a girl he had met in a general elective class, a fellow freshman but from a different major, getting very cozy with a senior, making out in public without any hesitation.
What a fast blind date. They've only known each other for a few days. I guess it truly lives up to its name as the famous outdoor blind date club, Su Bai sighed.
You have the nerve to talk about others. Xia Lin didn't know whether to laugh or cry. From what I see, you didn't know Chen Yusheng, Zhou Jialu, and the others for long before you...
True! But I'm different. I focus mainly on feelings.
Heh.
Xia Lin rolled her eyes at him. She really couldn't do anything about this thick-skinned younger guy.
...
I really didn't expect the dating styles of today's college students to be so wild.
Xia Lin sat in the driver's seat of the Land Rover Defender, fastening her seatbelt, her tone carrying a hint of exasperation.
After coming down the mountain, Xia Lin was still the one driving. She turned on her phone, replied to a few messages, and learned that Xue Tao was fine.
Thank goodness.
Otherwise, it would be too unfortunate. Getting accidentally injured while breaking up a fight when breaking up with a girlfriend... honestly, the way he got hurt was a bit hilarious.
As a counselor, she should have felt a headache over this.
But as Su Bai's god-sister, having enjoyed the ultimate romance and a peaceful sleep last night, she was actually in a pretty good mood right now, even taking a bit of a spectator's amusement in the situation.
After all, the one who got hurt wasn't her Su Bai.
This is called fighting for love, though the way they fought was a bit hard on the bros, Su Bai commented sharply. I heard that kick landed pretty solid, but the bizarre thing is, they still haven't figured out who actually delivered it. Right now, those two women are passionately arguing at the hospital.
How do you know?
Old Chu is giving me a live broadcast.

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?!
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.
