I'm not good at it. You gotta teach me.

Chen Shuo felt the cold sweat on his forehead seemed to increase again. He pretended to be calm and asked, "What are you talking about?"

"When have I, Chen Shuo, ever told a lie? Isn't asking me if it's true or false redundant?"

Looking at Chen Shuo's pretense of being tough, Su Xiyan found him extremely adorable and cute.

A boy like this is too much of a waste if not doted on.

Su Xiyan tried to guide Chen Shuo to speak his heart: "What did you say to that female vampire that made her so angry at you?"

Chen Shuo: "The situation was too urgent. I just said whatever!"

"Self-preservation is the most important. How could I remember what I said?"

"All our classmates should have gone back now, right? You also gained points, becoming closer to being a legendary demon hunter. And you took the trophy for the kendo competition too - you're a winner in life!"

Chen Shuo heaped praise: "Today has been a hugely fruitful day!"

Hearing this, Su Xiyan felt very flattered.

Chen Shuo took the opportunity to slip away: "So now we can go back to school with our classmates, right?"

By the time Su Xiyan reacted, Chen Shuo had already disappeared without a trace.

"Chen Shuo!! You stand still for me!!"

Su Xiyan chased for two steps, then slowed down.

Today was not only fruitful, but she was also in a very good mood! She would let it go just this once.

After a day of classes, it was time for the kendo club's celebration party.

The celebration banquet was at a restaurant near the school.

It wasn't too fancy, but suitable for students. Also, it was clean and hygienic, with a nice environment.

As a core member of the kendo club, Su Xiyan was surrounded and glorified by many members.

Su Xiyan exchanged a few pleasantries, ate a couple of bites, then made an excuse that she was a bit tired and wanted to go home.

Having just won a competition, the mood in the kendo club was more relaxed.

And Su Xiyan seemed to be in a particularly good mood today.

Some bolder classmates started teasing Su Xiyan:

"Is Student Su leaving so early because Student Chen isn't here?"

"Although we're resentful, if Student Su likes someone, we'll still give our blessings."

"So when does Student Su plan to make it public?"

Seeing everyone's expectant looks, Su Xiyan remained calm and collected: "It seems the training intensity is still too low since you all still have the energy to tease me?"

In Su Xiyan's cold eyes, a frosty light flashed. Her aura was very powerful.

The students present immediately shut their mouths, not daring to bring it up again.

Bystanders see clear. The relationship between Su Xiyan and Chen Shuo seemed to only be lacking that tiny bit more before becoming public.

Going public was probably inevitable sooner or later!

Before Su Xiyan confirmed it herself, no one dared to gossip randomly.

They knew there would be consequences for starting rumors about Su Xiyan.

Su Xiyan raised her drink and drank a couple sips as a toast, before leaving her seat.

Although she was as cold as a glacier, making people not dare look up at her, this didn't mean she didn't understand etiquette and basic respect.

It was precisely because of Student Su being so perfect that everyone admired and respected her wholeheartedly.

Chen Shuo didn't like such occasions to begin with, so he went home early.

There were still some ingredients in the fridge, enough for him to eat without having to shop again.

Chen Shuo looked at the clock on the wall. It was past 6pm already.

Su Xiyan should be eating the celebration banquet with her kendo club classmates about now, right?

He wondered if Su Xiyan had noticed anything today.

After coming home, Chen Shuo summed up that based on the situation then, Su Xiyan probably still didn't know his identity and true strength.

It seemed he would have to be even more careful about hiding in the future. But with Su Xiyan, the system was disabled anyway, so... he didn't need to hide anything.

Chen Shuo took a can of nerd water from the fridge, poured it into a glass, and added some ice cubes.

Let the happy night begin with nerd water!

With Su Xiyan not home, there was no need to be too particular. Chen Shuo lay on the sofa, using Su Xiyan's favorite pillow.

Breathing in her scent from the pillow.

Just then, the door lock made a sound indicating fingerprint verification was successful.

In the instant before Su Xiyan entered, Chen Shuo had already sat up from the sofa.

Su Xiyan seemed to be in a very good mood, carrying supermarket shopping bags. The green celery leaves poked out from the bags, looking very fresh.

"The braised celery you made last time was delicious. I'll make it for you today!"

Su Xiyan put the shopping bags on the table and went to the master bedroom to change clothes.

Chen Shuo looked at the ingredients she bought - in addition to the fresh celery and lilies, there was some meat like beef tenderloin.

Su Xiyan preferred fish and chicken. Beef and pork were what Chen Shuo liked to eat.

In other words, the ingredients she bought catered to Chen Shuo's tastes.

Chen Shuo brought the ingredients to the kitchen to wash them. Su Xiyan had also changed into house clothes and came into the kitchen.

She still had an apron tied around her.

Chen Shuo glanced at her: "Didn't you go to the celebration banquet? What, the food wasn't to your taste and you didn't eat enough?"

Su Xiyan turned on the other faucet and started washing the celery: "Mm, I don't really like eating out."

She certainly couldn't tell Chen Shuo that she just wanted to come home and eat with him!

Chen Shuo seemed a bit arrogant today - she had to suppress him a little, otherwise this guy would become too conceited.

Su Xiyan snatched the ingredients from Chen Shuo's hands: "I'll cook today."

Chen Shuo thought he had misheard: "What? You cooking?"

"Haha! Are you kidding me? You know how to cook?"

Su Xiyan glared back at Chen Shuo: "Very funny??"

Damn! Such a strong killing intent!

Even if Su Xiyan threw the kitchen knife at Chen Shuo's head the next second, Chen Shuo wouldn't find it the least bit surprising.

"You want to cook, right? Go ahead, I'll wait in the living room."

Just as Chen Shuo reached the kitchen doorway, a hand grabbed his shirt from behind.

Su Xiyan pulled Chen Shuo's shirt: "No, you have to stay here."

Chen Shuo was very puzzled: "You need an audience even when cooking just like when competing in kendo??"

Su Xiyan's eyes flashed cunningly: "I'm not very good at it. You'll have to teach me hands-on."

She put particular emphasis on "hands-on".

Su Xiyan had become much more enthusiastic all of a sudden. Chen Shuo felt very uncomfortable, thinking this woman must be plotting something shifty again.

As intelligent as I am! I won't fall for it!

Chen Shuo retreated several steps, keeping his distance from Su Xiyan.

He watched Su Xiyan's every move with guarded eyes.

Su Xiyan's clear eyes looked at Chen Shuo as another good idea seemed to come to her mind.

She stepped forward and reached out, about to put her arms around Chen Shuo's waist.

Grabbing him just like that?!

Chen Shuo quickly retreated, but his back was already against the door frame.

Nowhere to retreat.
