The day before yesterday and yesterday, friends voted for an update on this book. I understand the book friends' eagerness to see the subsequent plot, but... a book has to be written one word at a time, and chapters can only be released one by one. We can't finish the book in just a few days... Friends who are eager to find a book to read might as well check out my old book "Adorable Girls' Romance of the Three Kingdoms." It's a very joyful and humorous novel that will not disappoint the book friends.

"Yes, you've successfully done it, congratulations." Li Yan sincerely felt happy for his only friend.

"Wow, I finally did it." The tooth-changing girl jumped up, her heart still innocent, with no sense of gender boundaries. In her joy, she threw herself into Li Yan's arms, her head buried in his chest, turning left and right, and shouted, "Great, I finally learned it... It's all thanks to Li Yan for teaching me how to breathe, I'm so grateful to you."

She was still innocent, but Li Yan was not. His body was that of a fourteen or fifteen-year-old, but his mind was already that of an eighteen or nineteen-year-old. Suddenly embracing a girl, he felt a bit flustered and quickly said, "I didn't help you much."

"Don't be modest, it's all because of you that I could do it." The tooth-changing girl hugged Li Yan tightly, rubbing against him, making him feel ticklish all over.

"Uh... this... " Li Yan was not used to such intimate contact with a girl and quickly said, "Sis, don't be too happy yet, go find the teacher quickly. You need to show her before midnight, or you won't pass."

"Ah?" The tooth-changing girl, a bit slow, finally remembered that just being able to use the move wasn't enough; the teacher had to approve it. She asked, "How much time is left until midnight?"

"Less than a quarter of an hour."

"Oh no... it's bad, we need to find the teacher quickly." The tooth-changing girl exclaimed.

"Where does the teacher live?" Li Yan, a new student, couldn't even find the teachers' dormitory.

"Follow me." The tooth-changing girl ran towards the depths of the courtyard. It turned out that the classroom of Class 3, Grade 1 was actually a small courtyard. At the far end of the courtyard was a wooden house where the class teacher, the "Mighty God Demon" Fan Song, lived.

Just as they took a few steps towards the wooden house, a figure suddenly appeared in front of them. The teacher, dressed in a loose robe, appeared, her ample chest bouncing in the loose clothing, almost about to pop out. Li Yan's face turned pale. How could it grow so big? Isn't it afraid of the Earth's gravity pulling it down? No wonder it was so effective last time when she pressed me; it's a real weapon of mass destruction.

The teacher seemed to have been sleeping. She waved her hand sleepily and said, "No need to show me... when you woke up, you were crying and shouting, waking me up. I looked out the window and saw you use 'Branch Strikes White Ape.' You pass this time."

The tooth-changing girl was overjoyed, "Ah? Thank you, teacher!" She turned to Li Yan and said, "Hahaha, I finally passed, it's all thanks to you teaching me how to breathe."

Li Yan was startled when she said that, afraid that the teacher would realize he had already learned the Complete Truth Inner Skill. If exposed, he would be forced to learn the "Manual of the Sunflower." He quickly covered the tooth-changing girl's mouth and said, "Hey! What breathing? I don't know what breathing you're talking about."

The teacher glanced at Li Yan coldly and snorted, "Butt-to-the-back Li Yan, what are you doing here with Guo Jing? What breathing are you talking about?"

Li Yan panicked and quickly said, "A friend is in trouble, I have to help her solve it, so I came with her to demonstrate 'Branch Strikes White Ape' to the teacher. As the song goes: friends walk together all their lives, those days are gone, one word, a lifetime, a life of friendship, a cup of wine... Huh, singing really wastes lung capacity, I need to take a deep breath, um, deep breath!"

The teacher smiled inwardly but didn't expose the Complete Truth Inner Skill. She yawned and said, "What? You just met today, and you're talking like lifelong friends..."

"Even though we just met today, a friend is a friend." Li Yan's expression was very serious, his eyes firm and unwavering. The teacher and Guo Jing found his sudden change from being frivolous to being sincere a bit amusing, and upon closer reflection, they were a bit moved.

"Alright, alright, enough talk! I warn you, if you keep being cheeky, I'll suffocate you without mercy." The teacher yawned and said, "I'm going back to sleep. Finish memorizing the 'Complete Truth Inner Skill' manual and return the library card to me as soon as possible..." She emphasized the word "library card" as if afraid Li Yan wouldn't notice it, then yawned again and disappeared.

"Hey! Can't you just walk normally? Always appearing and disappearing like that, are you a star in the sky?" Li Yan shrugged.

"Whoosh!"

The teacher reappeared in front of him, scaring Li Yan. "Weren't you leaving?"

"Hmph! I was worried someone might say bad things behind my back, so I came back. Sure enough, I heard you complaining about me..." She smiled maliciously, her ample chest almost touching Li Yan's face.

Li Yan cried out, "Don't suffocate me."

"Tsk, I'm so sleepy now, I'll let you off this time. You two haven't had dinner, right? I put it on the ground for you, pick it up and eat it. Remember to wash the plates and bowls and put them at my door after you're done." The teacher disappeared again.

Li Yan and Guo Jing looked down and saw two plates on the ground, each with two steamed buns and a few vegetables. It seemed the teacher had placed them there when she appeared. Despite her large chest, which seriously disrupted her balance, she moved with incredible speed, almost invisible to the naked eye.

Li Yan picked up the plate and felt that the buns and vegetables were still warm...

He looked at the wooden house in the depths of the courtyard and sighed, "Teacher, you weren't sleeping at all, were you? You kept the buns and vegetables warm in the steamer, waiting for Li Yan and Guo Jing to eat? What a dishonest person..."

The tooth-changing girl, with a bun in her mouth, mumbled, "Brother Li, what did you say?"

"Oh, nothing, eat quickly!" Li Yan took a bun and started eating.

After they finished dinner, it was already midnight. The tooth-changing girl fetched a bucket of water from the well in the corner of the courtyard, washed the plates clean, and placed them at the teacher's door. Then she called Li Yan, and they went back to the dormitory together. Both lived in "Plum Manor" and were poor students, so they returned together. At the dormitory door, they said goodbye to each other. This was a common scene among ordinary students, but for Li Yan and Guo Jing, who had been isolated for a long time, it was a precious moment to have a friend to say goodbye to.

After saying goodbye, they both hesitated to leave, staring at each other for a while. The tooth-changing girl, trying to make conversation, said, "Li Yan, the breathing method you taught me is really useful."

Li Yan smiled, "Then you must remember to practice it, even when you sleep."

"Um!" The tooth-changing girl nodded cutely, trying to find more topics but failing. After all, they had only known each other for a day, so it was normal to run out of things to talk about. But for both of them, having a first friend in life, even a few more words were precious.

They racked their brains but still couldn't find anything to say, so they said goodbye again.

Li Yan, back in his room, was still savoring the satisfaction of friendship, too excited to sleep for a long time.

Actually, upon reflection, he realized he should be more excited about the fact that he had crossed dimensions and arrived in a strange world. Why did this major event have less impact on him than making a new friend?

In the midst of his thoughts, he heard a crack from a broken branch outside the window. He looked out and saw that his window faced a small forest next to "Plum Manor." By the moonlight, he saw a tall, athletic woman sitting against a tree. The sound of the broken branch might have been from her sitting down.

Wasn't this the girl with the ponytail, Qiao Feng? What was wrong with her? Li Yan looked closely and saw that her face was bruised and her clothes had many footprints. It seemed that while Li Yan and Guo Jing were practicing the Complete Truth Inner Skill, she had been bullied again. The visible bruises on her face suggested that she had many hidden injuries under her clothes.

Her expression was blank, staring at the moon in the sky, with two streams of tears flowing down her cheeks...

For some reason, Li Yan felt a pang in his heart... The annoyance he felt from her earlier behavior vanished, and his intuition told him that this girl must have some deep, unspoken pain. If someone could talk to her, maybe they could help her.

Li Yan opened the door, left Plum Manor, and walked towards the forest, intending to talk to this poor girl. But when he reached the tree where Qiao Feng had been sitting, she was gone, leaving only a few tear marks on the ground... The wind blew, the leaves rustled, and the moonlight cast silver shadows through the leaves, creating a desolate scene.

Li Yan sighed and returned to the dormitory.

The girl with the ponytail hid behind a nearby tree, watching Li Yan's back, and muttered, "Don't be nice to me... when you find out I'm Khitan, you'll be disappointed... sniff... I really want a friend..."

Diary of a Lonely Person:

My name is Li Yan. I have always been an excellent student, isolated by my classmates since childhood. My grades were perfect in all subjects, but I was not happy, spending every day in loneliness. Because of this, when I crossed into a new world, I had no nostalgia for the old world, only a longing for the new.

On the first day I arrived in this martial arts world, a tooth-changing girl extended an olive branch to me. I will never forget the words she said to me: "I want to be your friend."

These words saved my soul, making me feel truly fulfilled and happy from the depths of my heart.

Because of these words, I did not become radical, did not become irritable, and did not curse the heavens like other穿越者 (穿越者 means "people who have crossed dimensions"). I didn't even think about becoming the invincible perfect man with unmatched martial arts, because being invincible also means being lonely and cold.

I don't like being lonely and cold, and I deeply understand that no one likes being lonely and cold.

So... when I saw Qiao Feng, the silver moonlight told me:

She needs a friend!

Li Yan

The first day in the martial arts world
