Chapter 46

That year.

"Tomorrow is the start of the vacation, today is the last day of our second year in high school." Many students were looking forward to the upcoming summer vacation with great anticipation.

The weather wasn't very good that day, the sky was overcast, as if it would start raining at any moment.

"Lin Fei, I like you." On a playground at the back of the mountain, a pretty girl blushed and confessed to the boy in front of her.

"Ji Xiaoxiao, thank you. You are a good girl, and you will find someone more suitable for you." Lin Fei looked at the girl in front of him with a complex expression and replied.

"Why? What about me is unsatisfactory? Or is it that I'm not pretty enough?" The girl's face turned pale, devoid of color.

"I can't tell you that I have a big secret, and it's not the right time for me to date. Besides, games aren't fun, and anime isn't interesting. Why would I need a girlfriend?" Lin Fei thought to himself, "Girls at this age are like this, they mix up friendship and love. When you grow up, you'll understand that my refusal today is for your own good."

"If there's nothing else, let's go back to the classroom!" Lin Fei didn't answer her and turned to leave.

The girl didn't move, just looking at him, tears streaming down her face. This was the first time in her life she had mustered the courage to confess to a boy, and she never expected the result to be like this.

"Xiaoxiao! Don't cry!" Sun Bin, who had been hiding in the woods, rushed out and comforted her.

"Lin Fei, how dare you bully Xiaoxiao." Sun Bin angrily shouted at Lin Fei.

"I didn't bully her!" Lin Fei quickly explained, not wanting to be misunderstood as someone who bullies female classmates.

"Get lost!" Sun Bin activated his power ability and swung a punch at the helpless Lin Fei.

"No!" Ji Xiaoxiao shouted when she saw Sun Bin attack.

"Sun Bin, don't be impulsive." Hu Zhi and a few classmates came out from the small woods and quickly held back the angry Sun Bin.

...

On the last day of their second year, the news that the school's beauty queen had been rejected spread throughout the campus.

Even when it was almost time for the third year to start, many people were still looking forward to the new semester to see if there would be any new developments in the confession incident.

But they were all disappointed. In the new semester, Ji Xiaoxiao and Sun Bin didn't come to school. Later, everyone found out that they had both transferred to a school in the capital. Since the main person involved, Lin Fei, didn't mention the incident again, it gradually faded from people's minds.

...

"Oh! Zhu Biao, leave some of that grilled kidney for me!" Liu Ziqiang watched as Zhu Biao quickly finished the grilled kidney he loved, feeling very unhappy.

"Stop acting so refined. You weren't like this when we were in school. You deserve it." Zhu Biao looked down on Liu Ziqiang.

"You, you, I'll fight you." Liu Ziqiang rolled up his sleeves and started eating Zhu Biao's favorite grilled eggplant, finishing several pieces in quick succession.

"Alright! You're so vengeful. Hey, leave some for me, I'm sorry," Zhu Biao quickly said.

Don't look at Zhu Biao's muscular build and think he's a meat-eater. He actually likes vegetables, especially grilled eggplant.

Everyone watching these two fight over food couldn't help but smile.

After everyone finished eating, they sat under the shade of a tree, chatting and digesting, with laughter echoing continuously.

Some complained about the hard work at their current companies, with bosses often making them work overtime.

Some said they had recently confessed to a girl, but the girl said she didn't like boys.

Some said that after graduation, their families had been urging them to go on blind dates, and they had to go every weekend, which was driving them crazy.

Lin Fei listened quietly to his old classmates' complaints, feeling that this moment was so beautiful.

"Sun Bin, what are your plans after graduating from the Cultivator Academy?" Liu Ziqiang asked.

"We should join the Ability Management Bureau!" Sun Bin glanced at Ji Xiaoxiao and said.

"Xiaoxiao and Cheng Ling too?" Zhao Ya asked curiously.

The two girls nodded.

"When we enrolled, we all signed a contract. We are considered reserve investigators now, after all, the Cultivator Academy has invested a lot in training us," Ji Xiaoxiao explained.

"Recently, I heard from classmates that the country of Cantor, which was attacked by abnormal beasts before, has again shown signs of abnormal beast activity. It's really chaotic! It's so unsafe abroad!" Cheng Ling sighed.

"The world is becoming increasingly incomprehensible. I hope our country becomes stronger and that our investigators can make rapid progress in their cultivation," a classmate sincerely wished.

"Lin Fei, what are your plans after graduation?" Hu Zhi asked.

"Nothing specific yet! After graduation, I've been staying at home. Recently, I plan to travel," Lin Fei said with a smile.

"I envy your life! With money in your pocket, you have no worries. You're the type of person who can do that." Zhu Biao said enviously to Lin Fei.

"Not bad! But you, Zhu Biao, you're an intern coach at the Vitality Fitness Club, right? That's a great place! I've heard that there are many beautiful women there, all kinds of girls working out. I envy you!" Lin Fei said with a smile to Zhu Biao.

"Ha! That's true. Now I'm studying at the headquarters, and I've seen many beautiful women, especially our yoga chief instructor and a doctor. They are so beautiful! They are the living advertisements of our fitness club," Zhu Biao enthusiastically shared his experiences with Lin Fei.

"Are you talking about Zhou Yue and Wang Xiaoru?" Lin Fei looked at Zhu Biao with a strange expression.

"Are they really that beautiful? Find some time, I'll get a membership card at your fitness club to see the beautiful women you mentioned. I haven't chosen a fitness club since I returned to the country, so I might as well go to yours."

"By the way, does your Vitality Fitness Club have a cultivation room?" Liu Ziqiang asked Zhu Biao.

"Yes, it was just built and is very popular. Many people queue up to use it every day," Zhu Biao said.

"That's good. I occasionally need to use the cultivation room to enhance my spiritual energy. Being too weak is not good, and it's hard to attract girls when you go out," Liu Ziqiang stroked his chin and said.

"… You're enhancing your spiritual energy just to attract girls!" Lin Fei was speechless.

"Of course! What else would I enhance my spiritual energy for? I'm about to break through to the first stage. Isn't that impressive?" Liu Ziqiang boasted to Lin Fei with pride.

"… After all these years, you still haven't reached the first stage!" Lin Fei said incredulously to the proud Liu Ziqiang.
