Chapter 50

(Thank you to the reader Feng Ying Sheng Han for the tip, I'm very grateful!)

On the way down the mountain, Lu Li and Xia Qingxuan both chose to remain silent. Xia Qingxuan's identity meant that it was difficult for her to stay in one place for long, except for Mount Mao, and it also made it hard for her to make friends. Lu Li, on the other hand, had experienced too many partings and even life-and-death separations, and he truly understood the impermanence of life. As long as they were both alive, they would meet again. Moreover, with his abilities, even if one of them died, there might still be a chance to meet, though it would be a meeting between the living and the dead.

When they returned to the dormitory area, it was already two o'clock in the morning. They nodded to each other and parted ways. Lu Li walked to Dormitory Building No. 7, looked up at the second-floor window, took two steps back, and then quickly ran forward, leaped up, and grabbed the window sill. He did a swift flip and entered the room.

There was only a week left until the final exams. Although his mindset had changed and he was even prepared to take a leave of absence, he did not intend to fail any courses. After all, he would be going home during the holiday, and his mother, Xiao Junlan, would definitely ask about his grades. He did not want to be scolded.

The next day, after class and dinner, he arrived at the classroom early to review intensively for the last few days. He didn't need to be the top student; passing was enough.

He had just sat down in the classroom when someone soon appeared beside him, and a faint fragrance wafted over. Lu Li turned his head and his eyes showed a hint of emotion. Their eyes met, and Shen Muqing nodded at Lu Li. Then they both started reviewing their books, in a very harmonious manner.

This classroom was a dedicated study room for the Economics and Management Department, so the students studying there were all from that department. Many classmates saw Shen Muqing sit next to Lu Li and looked enlightened. In the class, who liked whom and who had a crush on whom were almost no secrets.

At around eight o'clock, Lu Li put down his book and asked Shen Muqing, "I'm going to leave first. Do you want to go together?"

"Sure!" Shen Muqing replied, her face full of joy.

They walked and chatted, and when they reached the entrance of the sports field, Lu Li pointed to it and said, "I exercise every night."

"I know."

Shen Muqing's cheeks turned slightly red. Without waiting for Lu Li to ask, she walked towards the sports field.

Since the exams were approaching, there were few students exercising in the sports field. However, a strange scene appeared in a corner of the field. A boy with a strand of white hair on his head was practicing boxing, completely absorbed in his own world.

On the nearest stand, a girl with her hands supporting her cheeks quietly watched the somewhat blurry figure in the night, her face full of happiness.

For the next few days, whenever it was time to practice, Lu Li would get up and leave, and Shen Muqing would follow closely behind. In the sports field, one was absorbed in practice, and the other watched happily.

The final exams were tomorrow, and tonight was the last chance to review. When Lu Li entered the classroom, his eyes immediately narrowed. He saw a book lying on the floor, with a footprint on the front page, and the cover was completely damaged. It was the textbook he had used to reserve his seat.

Recently, because he came every night and had a fixed seat, he hadn't taken the textbook back with him.

"Who did this, step forward?"

His gaze swept over the corner of the classroom, where a couple was sitting. The boy was tall, and the girl was a student from the Economics and Management Department. Clearly, the boy was accompanying his girlfriend to study.

"Have the courage to do it, but not to admit it?"

"Now the study rooms are tight. I only saw your uncle here, but I didn't see anyone. I had no choice but to make it leave."

As soon as these words were spoken, the classroom erupted in laughter.

Your book and your uncle are two different things. This is clearly a deliberate provocation!

Lu Li's lips curled into a smile, and he stepped forward to the boy, looking down at him. "I'll count to three, and you disappear from my sight."

"Did I hear that right?"

The boy suddenly stood up, towering over Lu Li at nearly 1.9 meters tall.

"Don't think that just because you're with Liang Jun, I won't dare to touch you. Even he doesn't dare to be arrogant in front of me."

"Brother Liang, forget it. He's the top student in the Economics and Management Department, a favorite of the teachers." The girl tried to persuade him, but her words only seemed to fuel the fire.

Lu Li glanced at the girl, feeling a bit repulsed. In terms of grades, the girl always won the second-class scholarship, while Lu Li won the first-class. They had had many conflicts over the scholarships, mainly because the girl believed Lu Li cheated on exams to get the highest scores, but the teachers were not fools and wouldn't believe it.

Gao Liang, after hearing the girl's words, sneered and said, "What good is being a top student? I messed around in high school, failed exams in college, but I still found a college girl, got a degree, and have a secure job."

Lu Li took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, and said calmly, "I think compared to exam scores, being born is a real skill. And the facts prove that your birth skills are excellent." In his heart, he didn't think it was worth fighting over such a trivial matter.

"Ha ha."

The laughter in the classroom, which had stopped, immediately resumed. Clearly, Gao Liang's words had offended everyone, and they all hoped he would be humiliated.

"Damn it, who are you talking about?"

Gao Liang was furious, and his large hand reached out to grab Lu Li's collar. Lu Li sneered, grabbed his wrist, and twisted it, immediately pinning his arm behind his back.

"Ouch, let go, let go."

Although he didn't want to lose face in front of his girlfriend, Gao Liang felt intense pain in his wrist, as if it was about to break. He immediately begged for mercy, forgetting about his pride.

Lu Li released his thumb from the pressure point on Gao Liang's wrist and said sternly, "Get out of here, and don't let me see you again."

"Okay, I'll leave."

Gao Liang loudly agreed, glared at Lu Li, and immediately fled the classroom as soon as Lu Li let go.

"Classmate Liu, can this kind of man really protect you?"

Watching Gao Liang flee in disgrace, Lu Li asked the girl, and then he walked down the steps, picked up his book, and found a new seat.

A short while later, Shen Muqing arrived, her eyes slightly red. After sitting down, she leaned close to Lu Li and whispered, "I have something to tell you later."

Lu Li's heart stirred, and he nodded.

The small incident did not affect Lu Li's mood. As time passed, he stretched slightly, turned to look at Shen Muqing, and strangely found that she hadn't even taken out her textbook, just staring at the wall.

He reached out to wake Shen Muqing, but the classroom door was suddenly kicked open, and seven or eight people rushed in.

The person leading them was Gao Liang, who was now dragging someone and said angrily, "Liang Jun, your little brother dared to disrespect me. Now order him to kneel and apologize, or I'll take action."

Hearing this, the students studying in the classroom looked up, their faces showing fear.

But when they saw who Gao Liang was dragging, they all froze and then turned their gaze to Lu Li. They all thought the same thing: the boss is here, Lu Li is in trouble!

Lu Li almost simultaneously noticed Liang Jun and, recalling Gao Liang's words, a mocking smile quickly appeared on his face.
