Chapter 10

Gu Jiyue is the most beautiful girl in the department, and she is also their department flower, the goddess in the hearts of countless young men.

When Qin Yong spoke, his eyes were shining. He had once written a love letter to this department flower and sent her roses every day for a week, but unfortunately, she never even glanced at him, and he had to give up in despair.

"That girl is really pretty!"

Liu Yiyang recalled and nodded slightly.

Apart from the initial shock, he actually didn't pay much attention to her. His focus had been on the surroundings, worried about the criminals, and it was Liu Wei who had been talking to the girl the whole time.

After getting her to the place, he didn't have the heart to look at her, and returned to school early.

"Did you hear that? Third Brother is vouching for me. Believe me, that girl is no less beautiful than Gu Jiyue!"

As soon as Liu Yiyang finished speaking, Liu Wei called out, his voice tinged with excitement.

"Of course we believe Third Brother. Tell us, what's her name? What did you talk about? Did you get her phone number?"

Qin Yong turned around, and the guys surrounded Liu Wei again, all asking excitedly.

Liu Wei had mentioned this before, but they didn't quite believe him, thinking that 'saving a beauty' was too fake and unlikely to happen to him, especially with a beautiful girl.

But now that Liu Yiyang had confirmed it, the situation was different.

They had been together for so long, and while they often liked to brag a bit, Liu Yiyang never lied. This was why Qin Yong had been eager to ask as soon as Liu Yiyang returned.

Watching Liu Wei excitedly recounting, Liu Yiyang smiled and shook his head, then took off his clothes and lay down on the bed.

He hadn't really paid attention to the girl he had saved; his mind was full of thoughts about the spiritual energy and the bronze mirror.

Liu Yiyang had a premonition that the bronze mirror, which he didn't understand, and the strange red mist, would definitely change his life.

He just didn't know if this change would be good or bad, and what impact it would have on his family.

As he thought, Liu Yiyang's consciousness gradually became blurred.

In a hazy state, Liu Yiyang found himself in a completely dark space. He walked slowly in the vast darkness, feeling an indescribable terror, wanting to scream but unable to.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, a faint light appeared in the darkness, and Liu Yiyang hurriedly quickened his pace.

Soon, he reached the source of the light.

Looking at the 'thing' in front of him, Liu Yiyang's eyes widened, and his face was filled with shock.

In front of him was a huge bronze mirror, with a prominent Bagua diagram. The black and white Yin and Yang symbols were somewhat dim, but the 'Qian' character above them emitted a faint red light.

The light that had attracted Liu Yiyang was this character.

Standing under the huge bronze mirror, Liu Yiyang felt as if he were smaller than a speck, and the darkness added to the pressure he felt.

"More spiritual energy, I need more spiritual energy!"

The 'Qian' character suddenly brightened, and Liu Yiyang received this message in his mind, just like the one he had received while working.

After the brightness, the 'Qian' character seemed to dim again, and the darkness around him quickly disappeared, replaced by a blinding light.

"Third Brother, wake up, Third Brother, wake up!"

As soon as his eyes opened a little, Liu Yiyang heard several voices calling him, and his body was being shaken.

"Second Brother, stop shaking me!"

Liu Yiyang quickly said, and then he saw that all the roommates were at his window, looking at him with concern.

Outside the window, it was already bright.

"Third Brother, you're finally awake. You really scared us!"

Seeing him awake, the guys all breathed a sigh of relief. Zhang Yong, the second oldest, was complaining, and the others, though silent, had the same worried expression.

Zhang Yong is a local from Binhai, with a very delicate appearance. He is the second oldest in the dorm, but he dislikes being called 'Second Brother.' Over time, Liu Yiyang and the others started calling him Second Brother, while Qin Yong called him by his name or 'Second Brother.'

He wasn't wrong; usually, Liu Yiyang was the first to wake up, but today, everyone else had already woken up and found it strange that Liu Yiyang hadn't. Zhang Yong had specifically come to wake him up.

Who knew he couldn't wake him up no matter what, and even alarmed the others, who all gathered around.

Just as they were about to call 120, Liu Yiyang woke up, and they didn't have to make the call, or the ambulance would have come for nothing.

"I'm fine, I was just very tired yesterday and slept too deeply."

Looking out the window, Liu Yiyang sat up and said softly. He already knew that the darkness and the Bagua diagram were just a dream, a dream image.

But this dream was definitely not an illusion. He was very clear that the bronze mirror was still inside him, and this was the mirror calling him.

"It's good that you're fine. I knew something was wrong with you yesterday. Rest well today!"

This time, it was Liu Wei, the fifth oldest, who spoke. He had felt that something was off with Liu Yiyang when they went to work together yesterday.

"No need, I'm fine. I just slept deeply today. It's Old Wang's class today, so don't be late!"

Liu Yiyang quickly got out of bed and said with a smile.

Old Wang is a rather stubborn teacher in the department. Usually, if students don't show up, someone can sign in for them, but not with Old Wang. He always keeps a close eye on things, and anyone who tries to sign in for someone else will be caught and punished.

Over time, no one dared to skip his class and all sat there obediently.

"You don't say, I almost forgot. We can't be late for Old Wang's class. Hurry up and get ready, let's go!"

Zhang Yong called out. He had once skipped Old Wang's class and was severely punished, even failing the course and having to retake it.

He had a psychological shadow from Old Wang, and after Liu Yiyang reminded him, he became more diligent.

Seeing that Liu Yiyang was really fine, everyone relaxed, got ready, and ran to the classroom with their books.

They had to run; usually, Liu Yiyang wakes up the earliest and calls everyone, so they were all used to it. Today, since Liu Yiyang didn't wake up, everyone woke up a bit late, and if they didn't run, they would definitely be late.

Fortunately, their luck was good, and they managed to run into the classroom before the class started.

Today, the class was the most crowded. Usually, only Old Wang's class was so full, while other teachers' classes had some absentees. Few teachers were as dedicated to their students as Old Wang.

The class time had arrived, and Liu Yiyang and the others, who had just sat down, looked at each other. The teacher was not there yet, which was very unusual for Old Wang.

This was as rare as Liu Yiyang not waking up early today.

"Is Old Wang sick?"

"Haha, Old Wang is also late. Let's see what he says about us!"

"Is there something wrong with Professor Wang? Is he not coming today?"

Soon, the classroom was filled with discussions, some positive and some negative, and some regretted waking up so early.

As they were talking, the classroom door suddenly opened, and Professor Wang, who was already sixty, walked in with a serious face, accompanied by the department head, Zhao Kaiping.

The noisy classroom instantly became silent.

Zhao Kaiping, who is forty-six, is considered a young official. Seeing this, he nodded in satisfaction and smiled slightly.

Behind him, a girl slowly walked in, and all the attention in the classroom was on her.

The clinical medicine department has more boys than girls, and Liu Yiyang's class was no exception. Most of the boys in the class were pure, and when they saw the girl following the department head, they all opened their mouths wide and stared in amazement.

The girl, with her head slightly lowered, as if shy, carefully followed behind the department head.

She wore a light pink dress, with long, flowing hair on her shoulders. Her bangs framed her long eyelashes, which protected her clear, innocent eyes, gently fluttering.

Her skin was so white that it seemed untouchable, like a princess in a fairy tale, to be admired from a distance.

The medical school, except for the nursing program, is usually dominated by boys, especially young, hormone-driven guys.

Seeing such a beautiful girl, many couldn't help but swallow their saliva, and the classroom became even quieter.

However, not everyone was like this. One person was not.

That was Liu Yiyang.

Liu Yiyang was also in a daze, but he was dazed because of shock. The beautiful girl who entered was not unfamiliar to him. He had seen her just two days ago and had even been pulled to her house.

This girl was Ouyang Xuan.

Ouyang Xuan was really beautiful, especially with her shy demeanor, which made anyone feel a natural sense of tenderness.

Of course, this 'anyone' did not include Liu Yiyang. He knew all too well how terrifying this beautiful exterior was.

Liu Yiyang still remembered Ouyang Xuan's immense strength. When she grabbed him, he had no chance to resist, let alone the brutal treatment she later inflicted on him.

These were not the main points; the most critical question was, why was she here?

Gradually, Liu Yiyang had a bad feeling.

"Classmates, let me introduce you to our new classmate, Ouyang Xuan. Ouyang Xuan is new, so everyone should help and take care of her!"

Department head Zhao Kaiping smiled and said, then led the applause.

Soon, the whole class burst into enthusiastic applause, and all the boys, except Liu Yiyang, clapped their hands until they were red.

Even Liu Wei, who had just met a beautiful girl yesterday, was staring at Ouyang Xuan without blinking, clapping his hands forcefully.

Some of the bolder students were already shouting, welcoming the new classmate.

"My name is Ouyang Xuan. I will be living and studying with you from now on. I hope to receive your care and support. Thank you all!"

Under Zhao Kaiping's hint, Ouyang Xuan slowly walked to the center of the podium and said softly, then bowed slightly.

Her voice was even sweeter, making the male students' hearts beat faster, and some even let out happy moans.

There was nothing more blissful than having such a beautiful classmate in the class. Even the department flower couldn't compare to this. Many male students were now very grateful that they had come early for Old Wang's class, or they would have missed the chance to meet Ouyang Xuan for the first time.
