In an instant, it was as if the pause button had been pressed.
Chen Shuo awkwardly withdrew his hand under Su Xiyan's gaze.
He expected Su Xiyan to get angry and give him a good beating.
Unexpectedly, Su Xiyan acted as if nothing had happened.
She picked up the wooden sword that had dropped to the ground and threw it back to Chen Shuo, saying: "Don't get distracted, focus on sparring with me."
Her tone didn't have a shred of killing intent.
Too strange.
Could it be that she was waiting to settle scores after the dust had settled?
During the remaining sparring time, Chen Shuo was constantly on guard against Su Xiyan, afraid that she would hold a grudge and seek personal revenge.
Unexpectedly, Su Xiyan simply carried out normal training from beginning to end.
She didn't lose her temper until the end of the sparring session.
This...isn't normal! Could it be that she didn't notice his attempt to hug her waist earlier?
Su Xiyan went to the changing room to change clothes. Chen Shuo wasn't wearing protective gear and wasn't an official member of the kendo club, so he didn't have his own kendo uniform.
Sparring with Su Xiyan was extremely intense. If he let his guard down even a little, she would beat him up.
After this round of exercise, his whole body was drenched in sweat.
Fortunately, Chen Shuo carried a gym bag with him, which contained the spare clothes he wore when playing basketball.
Carrying the bag, he headed to the boys' locker room while drinking water.
After Chen Shuo and Su Xiyan left,
The kendo club members immediately huddled together, as if they had gotten hold of a huge piece of gossip. They whispered amongst themselves:
"How strange! Sister Su actually didn't get angry today!!"
"That's right! I saw Chen trying to take the opportunity to cop a feel earlier."
"That's for sure! His hand was already reaching out. I guess he didn't expect Sister Su to stand firmly."
"If Sister Su hadn't stood firmly, wouldn't it have played right into his hands?"
"I didn't expect it! Chen looks quite handsome, but he turned out to be a lustful brat!"
"But isn't Chen living together with Sister Su? At that time, acting as Chen's guardian, Sister Su signed the dormitory paperwork at the office, shocking the entire Nanyang University! It spread all over the school group chat."
"The whole Nanyang University knows that Su is Chen's guardian."
One slightly clever girl thought for a moment and suddenly realized: “Did any of you consider that guardian also includes the relationship of spouses?"
The word "spouse" was like a bombshell thrown into the crowd, causing huge waves!
Another girl who often helped the counselor organize documents and so on said, "I’ve seen most students’ files and records from going in and out of the counselor’s office. Sister Su is not married! She’s still single. Also, given Sister Su’s personality, she wouldn't get married during college either!"
The boys in the kendo club let out a collective sigh of relief: “I knew it! How could Sister Su fall for a lustful brat like Chen Shuo?”
“So what if he's a little more handsome and can play basketball a little, and has talent for kendo without a teacher?"
This was actually the greatest praise for Chen Shuo implicitly.
"But ever since Chen came, Sister Su has obviously become much gentler!"
"That's right! We can only have peace in the kendo club when Sister Su is in a good mood."
"That's for sure! Sister Su is usually so strict!"
After speculating about the true relationship between Su Xiyan and Chen Shuo, the students present didn't come to any conclusion.
At this time, Su Xiyan had already changed her clothes and came out.
She wore tight denim hot pants and a camisole, with a sun protection jacket on the outside.
The loose sun protection jacket was a must-have for many girls in summer. It could block the sun when needed, and act as a versatile outer piece when there was no sun.
The simple basic sun protection jacket seemed to be given a soul when worn on Su Xiyan's body.
The whole outfit suddenly became vibrant.
Her slightly sweaty hair was casually tied in a bun at the back of her head, resembling the charming female lead in South Korean TV dramas.
Not only the boys, even the girls present were stunned.
Su Xiyan's cold gaze swept over the students present, her face sinking:
"What are you all frozen for?"
"Who allowed you to stop?"
"Keep training! Don't slack off for a moment before the friendly competition!"
"Slacking off on the training ground is showing mercy to your opponents!"
"Did you hear me?!"
The students immediately stood at attention and answered in unison: “Heard!”
Then everyone picked up their wooden swords and threw themselves into focused training.
They finally understood that Sister Su hadn't become gentler, she was only gentle in front of Chen.
At this time, Chen Shuo also came out after changing his clothes.
His tall figure, dressed in basketball clothes, revealed the sturdy calf and arm muscles.
His whole body exuded the vigor of youth.
His damp hair was like a restless little porcupine.
Chen Shuo held his bag, “You still have to supervise the kendo club members training right? Then I’ll go back first.”
Su Xiyan didn’t even glance at Chen Shuo. She asked back, "What are you going back so early for?"
Chen Shuo: “Of course it’s to buy groceries! When you come home, you can eat piping hot meals.”
Hearing Chen Shuo say this, the icy expression on Su Xiyan's face immediately melted a lot. She waved her hand, "Go on then!"
Then she pointed at the backpack on the bench, "Help bring my clothes back to wash too."
Chen Shuo very naturally carried Su Xiyan's backpack and left the kendo club.
The students who were training saw this scene and forgot how to swing their wooden swords.
Oh my god!!
Sister Su actually let Chen wash clothes? Aren't women's clothes very private?
Could it be that their relationship has already progressed to an unimaginable stage?
How is this like a senior-junior relationship? It's clearly like a cohabitating couple!
Chen is so considerate! Not only cooking, but also helping with the laundry.
The girls looked at Su Xiyan with envy, because Chen Shuo also looked quite handsome. His retreating basketball-clad figure had quite the aura of a school heartthrob.
The boys almost gnashed their back teeth in frustration, feeling that their dream of joining the kendo club was shattered.
Life is so difficult! Too difficult!
Su Xiyan was smart as ice and snow. She saw the little thoughts written on everyone's faces but didn't react.
In fact, she felt a little smug inside. What was that about?
After supervising the students' training, the night had already enveloped the entire Suzhou city.
When Su Xiyan drove home, she didn't see Chen Shuo in the living room or kitchen.
Hearing noises coming from Chen Shuo's room, she walked over.
Chen Shuo was squatting on the floor, fiddling with something inside his computer case.
Without making a sound, Su Xiyan walked over. It was as if Chen Shuo grew eyes on his back. He said, “Dinner is ready. I’ll be done fixing the computer in a few minutes, then we can eat.”
“It’ll be quick, just a couple more minutes.”
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."

e vast world of cultivation, where he becomes the master of the Heavenly Ruins Sacred Hall, a dying old man with barely a tenth of his former cultivation remaining. He is immediately confronted with a deadly crisis: his subordinates have rebelled, and his protectors are forcing him to abdicate. At the critical moment, the system descends from the heavens: [Ding! The host has been detected facing a life-or-death crisis. The system is now officially activated!] [As a gift, you have received the Supreme Beginner’s Pack and awakened the ultimate cheat: ten thousand years of pure cultivation essence every second!] Yin Tianjue: “Wait… ten thousand years of cultivation every second? That’s six hundred thousand years a minute, and in one day… I can’t even calculate it. Either way, I’m already invincible!” You’re a peerless prodigy rarely seen in ten thousand years?

Sorry, I gain ten thousand years of cultivation every second. You’re the strongest chosen one, blessed with heaven-defying destiny? Sorry, I gain ten thousand years of cultivation every second. From this day forth, I have only one thing to say: “I gain ten thousand years of cultivation every second. Now, how exactly are you supposed to deal with that?”
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.
