Three years later

A City had developed quite fast in the past two years and traffic was usually heavy. The experimental high school, which was located on a bustling street in the city center, was currently on lunch break. There were piles of books on many students’ desks. The bell outside had been ringing, and students wearing school uniforms were walking down the corridor. The teacher finished assigning homework before leaving the classroom.

When Jian Mei was preparing to go to the school cafeteria for lunch, his classmate Xiao Pang asked, “Meimei, do you want to play basketball after lunch?”

Jian Mei replied, “I haven’t finished my math assignment yet.”

“Aiya, it’s easy.” Xiao Pang said to him, “Do it when you come back later. If you really can’t do it, I’ll let you borrow mine to copy.”

Jian Mei shook his head. “I’ll pass. I want to do it myself.”

Xiao Pang realized that Jian Mei was an honest child. He asked, “You really want to enter a medical school that muchah?”

Jian Mei nodded. “Yes.”

When Xiao Pang thought about it, he still admired Jian Mei. Although Jian Mei wasn’t very talented, he was always hardworking and humble, giving off a reliable and serious feeling.

Xiao Pang said to him urgently. “Come over and just play one game then. You know it won’t take that much time anyway. Otherwise, we won’t have enough people.”

This child, Jian Mei’s weakness was that he was soft-hearted. “Okayba.”

Because Jian Mei had agreed, this matter was settled soon. Xiao Pang also moved efficiently and the basketball team gathered to play a game on the sports field at lunch. Many girls were also passing by the sports field.

After the first game, they had a short break. Jian Mei’s fair face had a thin layer of sweat.

A girl rushed over and gave him some water. “You’ve worked hard, Meimei. Drink some water.”

Jian Mei smiled at her. “Thank you, Zhenzhen.”

Cai Zhenzhen pointed to the bottles of water nearby and said, “It’s thereah, go get it by yourselves.”

Xiao Pang let out atsk. “Manager, why do you treat us differently? You gave it directly to Meimei but we have to get it ourselves. Didn’t you just say it’s your job?”

Jian Mei leaned against the wall to rest. He watched the others get water as he caught his breath. Only when he felt better did he speak. “Zhenzhen, in fact, you don’t need to…”

Cai Zhenzhen’s face suddenly turned red. She immediately said, “I’m not doing it for you, wasn’t it because of your poor health?”

Jian Mei was stunned for a moment.

After a while, he smiled faintly. “So that’s whyah. Well, thank you.”

The young man’s brows and eyes were tranquil, looking very pure under the sunlight. That pair of eyes was naturally affectionate, and just being looked at by those eyes was enough to make someone’s heart flutter. In the past two years, Jian Mei’s appearance had changed from when he was in junior high school. His childish look had faded and he had turned into a handsome young man.

Xiao Pang came over with water and said, “Meimei, how are you?”

Jian Mei took out a tissue and wiped the sweat on his forehead. “I’m fine.

“Just, I can’t play in the second half.” Jian Mei was a little sorry. “I’m not in good health.”

Xiao Pang expressed his understanding. They had long known about Jian Mei’s illness. In the past few years, Jian Mei had been cooperating with his doctor for re-examination and the results were all okay. However, his body had been weak since he was young and needed special attention. He said concernedly, “It’s okay. The rest of us will do it, you can rest on the side.”

Jian Mei nodded. “Okay.”

Cai Zhenzhen, who was next to him said, “Our class monitor invited us tonight as guests for her birthday. Remember to go there.”

Jian Mei said, “Don’t we have self-study tonight?”

Xiao Pang patted Jian Mei’s shoulder and said, “Did you forget? They announced in the afternoon that the school will be under maintenance so there will be a power outage tonight. The school monitor heard about it ages ago from the class teacher, so she sent us an invitation yesterday.”

Jian Mei nodded. “I really forgot about it. Wait for me tonight, I’ll go to the mall to buy a birthday present for the school monitor.”

Xiao Pang grinned. “I’ll go too, I also haven’t bought one.”

Cai Zhenzhen looked at them. “Don’t be late guys, you know the class monitor’s temper. If you guys don’t show up, you’ll have a hard time.”

Jian Mei and Xiao Pang hurriedly acquiesced.

Because he knew classes would be ending early today, Jian Mei was very motivated to do his math assignment so he could relax tonight.

When evening arrived, he set off from school. Xiao Pang and the others had to stay behind for a while because they were on cleaning duty. Jian Mei first went to the mall for a walk and when he finally had free time, he took out his phone and sent Lu Xingwang a message.

[Are you there?] Jian Mei typed, [I left school early.]

Lu Xingwang was most likely busy at this time. After all, he was busy every day, but he replied very quickly today. [Are you at home?]

Jian Mei replied, [No, I’m at the mall.]

On the other end, Lu Xingwang was watching the new recruits practice assembling mechas on the military school grounds. He didn’t have to reprimand and supervise much as he exuded a lot of pressure just by standing there. Even the unruly recruits wouldn’t dare be lazy in front of this King of Hell. They were all aware that His Highness was looking at the information terminal, but they all thought that he was dealing with some important matters. They would’ve never thought that this strictly impartial and incorruptible devil military instructor was replying to a child’s message.

Lu Xingwang said, [You’re out shopping?]

Jian Mei told him about the class monitor’s birthday. While he was walking, he saw a small booth beside him selling various trinkets and the booth owner was also very enthusiastic. “All items at a special price, all items at a special price. Buy one get one free.”

The small, cute keychains were very beautiful. One of them was a gray crystal bear keychain which looked very beautiful. Jian Mei was attracted to it with a glance. After replying to Lu Xingwang’s message, he put away his phone, walked to the booth, and asked, “How much for this?”

The booth owner answered, “15 yuan each.”

Jian Mei nodded. He took out the change from his small wallet and handed it to the stall owner. “I’ll buy one.”

After the booth owner packed it for him, he handed Jian Mei an aqua blue keychain bear. “We’re holding an event today, it’s a buy one get one free, this is a gift.”

?!

He couldn’t believe his good fortune.

Jian Mei already had a keychain, so he sent the other to Dazhuang-gewithout any hesitation. [I’ll give you something.]

In the next second, a teddy bear appeared in Lu Xingwang’s hand. If it weren’t because of his quick reaction, the bear would’ve fallen to the ground, and the group of recruits would’ve seen it.

[Why do you always buy these kinds of strange items] Lu Xingwang looked at the thing in his hand and replied to him, [Do you have enough pocket money?]

Jian Mei stuck out his tongue. [It’s not expensive.]

After replying to Lu Xingwang, Xiao Pang called him to tell him that he was arriving soon, so Jian Mei told Lu Xingwang that he was going to pick up his classmate and put his phone away.

On the other side, someone also arrived beside Lu Xingwang.

Zuo Qingshan brought him a bottle of nutrient solution. “I heard that you’ve been practicing with the recruits since this morning. Even if they can’t eat, why doesn’t Your Highness eat?”

Lu Xingwang took a sip of the nutrient solution and said, “I’m not very hungry.”

Zuo Qingshan really wanted to sneer at him. “I’m afraid even if Your Highness doesn’t eat for three days and three nights, you still won’t be hungry.”

As he became more familiar with Lu Xingwang over the past few years, he became more aware of how ruthless this man was. As long as he had a goal, he could spend 100% of his energy doing it without any consideration for his own body at all. No wonder he was the first person who had such fighting power and ability in thousands of years.

Lu Xingwang threw him an indifferent gaze. “Major general is very free today?”

“Why do you say so?” Zuo Qingshan handed a pile of documents to Lu Xingwang. “Recently, Your Highness suspected that the crown prince was secretly doing shady things. I did some investigating and found that he frequently contacted a number of small planets.”
