Chapter 1

"Next up, Huang Yuexin versus Chen Tiancai!

Please come to the stage, both of you!"

A loud voice echoed through the vast square.

As soon as the voice fell, the surroundings immediately erupted into a frenzy of noise.

"Huang Yuexin, go for it!"

"Huang Yuexin, go for it!!"

"Goddess, go for it!!"

...

The square was packed with people, the atmosphere wild and lively, the huge arena, the bloody combat...

Chen Tian sat in the front row, a bit bewildered as he gazed at everything before him...

He was originally a good young man of the 21st century, working hard all his life without getting married.

Finally, after much effort, he managed to have a girlfriend, but he couldn't afford the dowry, and it fell apart...

"My family doesn't have high requirements, just a house and a car in the city, and a bit of greenery, that's all."

That was what the girl's family said...

Chen Tian's father passed away early, his mother was not in good health, and he himself was just an honest, ordinary worker.

After years of treating his mother, he had no money left, and they eventually broke up.

And this wasn't the first time...

Feeling depressed, he went online and started playing a legendary private server game that popped up.

He played all night, and finally, unable to hold on, he fell asleep...

When he woke up again, he found himself in this crazy place.

Was this a dream?

From the familiar faces of the students around him, it seemed to be his high school days.

But, were high school days like this?

Was there an arena for combat?

Even if there was combat, it was like a movie, with people jumping two meters high and kicking the stone slabs of the arena...

This was impossible!

Therefore, he was certain it was a dream!

But, this dream was too real...

The fight on the arena, the breeze blowing from outside, the clear faces of the students, the familiar voices...

All of it was stimulating him, making the dream feel very real...

Chen Tian didn't want to interact with the students around him; he just wanted to quietly enjoy it.

Looking at familiar people and teachers, he was afraid that he might accidentally shatter this dream.

Over the years, from a naive teenager to a tired, greasy old bachelor, he had experienced the warmth and coldness of the world, the vicissitudes of life...

Too much...

And what he missed most was this student era, pure and clean...

No scheming, no deceit...

So, he just wanted to quietly appreciate, quietly recall, and secretly peek at her, the one in his heart.

He was too honest, even in a dream, he was unwilling to pursue his own happiness...

However, the names of the students who just went up to fight were so lowbrow.

What names like Ye Wudi and Li Zhantian...

What the hell!

What kind of names were these?

Did high school have such names?

He wasn't sure, there were nine classes back then, but his class didn't have such ridiculous names.

And these so-called "strong" people were all beaten up and thrown off the stage in no time.

Now there was another idiot named Chen Tiancai!

Why didn't he call himself Chen Beixuan?

Wouldn't that be even more impressive?

He wondered who came up with such a name and was a bit curious about what the person looked like.

However, he knew Huang Yuexin, the class beauty, the school beauty, his former...

Lover...

Seeing that familiar figure, wearing a white training suit, lightly jumping onto the arena, looking so graceful, Chen Tian was a bit dazed...

Yuexin, are you doing well in heaven...

If only I had...

"Genius, it's your turn, hurry up and go up there."

Just as Chen Tian was lost in thought about Huang Yuexin, a male classmate with glasses pushed his shoulder.

"Me?"

Chen Tian was surprised. He was Chen Tian, how could he be that damn Chen Tiancai?

"Of course!

Hurry up, you've been sleeping for over an hour, are you still not awake?

Just one all-nighter and you're like this? Your constitution is really that bad?

Don't say you're part of our 'Talent Trio' when you go out.

You might as well quit the group."

The classmate muttered, winking at him.

Chen Tian was speechless. So, that idiot Chen Tiancai was really him.

And what was this 'Talent Trio'?

He remembered this classmate, Jia Cai, who was good with words, making Chen Tian feel nostalgic.

But now wasn't the time to reminisce; how did he become the damn Chen Tiancai in a dream?

Was his name even changed in a dream?

Forget it, if it's changed, so be it. It's just a dream, so he might as well enjoy it.

Chen Tian stood up, his eyes shining with confidence. This was his dream, his territory.

I'm the boss of my territory!

He would indulge himself in the dream.

"Genius, remember to surrender quickly once you're up there, don't ask for punishment." The classmate reminded him loudly, his voice full of schadenfreude, causing the surrounding students to burst into laughter.

Chen Tian ignored him, chuckling. Asking for punishment?

That was impossible!

This was his territory!

He took a deep breath, clenched his hands, and a powerful force spread through them.

This was a power he had never felt before. He had a feeling that he could kick through the arena floor with one kick.

Snap!

Chen Tian stomped the floor with force, immediately creating a small pit in the floor.

Indeed, in a dream, he was powerful.

In reality, even if he stomped his foot until it was broken, he couldn't damage such a hard floor.

He looked up at Huang Yuexin, who was already on the arena, his eyes brightening, and he quickened his pace.

This was a dream, after all. A one-on-one combat on the arena, under the watchful eyes of everyone, was incredibly exciting...

But just then, a stern and cold female voice stopped him.

"Chen Tiancai, stop!!"

Chen Tian turned to look, and upon seeing the person, he involuntarily took a small step back.

A beautiful woman in a black suit uniform was staring at him with a serious face.

This woman, Chen Tian thought for a moment, vaguely remembered her as the school's discipline head.

Yan Su!

Why did he remember her so clearly?

Of course, who could forget a beautiful woman?

Moreover, this teacher was not only beautiful...

She was also very strict!

Extremely strict!!

Every time he saw her, Chen Tian felt a mix of respect and dizziness...

Back in school, Head Yan was one of the people he feared the most.

So, seeing her now, he immediately wilted, stepping back, feeling an instinctive fear.

But then he straightened his body, standing tall.

This was his dream, what was there to fear?

Thinking this, he gave a proud glance at Head Yan, who was frowning.

Ignoring her, he turned to continue walking towards the arena.

She was just a passerby in his dream, and it was more interesting to meet Yuexin quickly.

Over the years, as time passed, Yuexin appeared in his dreams less and less often.

From seeing her over ten times a month to just two or three times now.

If this dream ended, it would be a huge loss.

Just as he took a few steps, Head Yan's icy voice rang out again: "Chen Tiancai, the school has a clear rule against deliberately damaging public property. You deliberately damaged the floor, don't you have an explanation?"

Ha, this dream was really something, so realistic...

Chen Tian laughed, his mind racing, and he turned around with his hands behind his back, looking at Head Yan with disdain.

"Hmph! I, Chen Tiancai, have never needed to explain my actions to others."

Each word was clear and resonated around him.

Buzz...

As soon as Chen Tian finished speaking, the surrounding students immediately erupted in chaos.

"Damn! Did I hear that right? Genius is really showing off, I give him 82 points, the rest 18 points for shouting 666, but, haha, he's dead meat."

"Ha, to show off in front of Huang Yuexin, quite brave."

"Idol, I'll remember that line, perfect for showing off, didn't expect Genius to be so quick-witted... "

...

Chen Tian smiled smugly at the surrounding students, ignoring Head Yan, who was trembling with anger and glaring at him.

He snorted, stomped the floor again, breaking another corner of it, and then walked confidently towards the arena.

What a rush!!

In a dream, he could do whatever he wanted...

Hmph...

No matter how strict you are, don't interrupt my meeting with Yuexin.

Otherwise, even as a teacher, I'll deal with you.

Amidst the students' chatter, Chen Tian stepped onto the arena, completely ignoring Head Yan, who was glaring at him from behind.

At the edge of the arena, there was a referee teacher. Chen Tian glanced at him, vaguely remembering him as the PE teacher, Mr. Li.

He had forgotten his full name, but after over ten years, remembering a teacher's surname was already impressive if they weren't a beauty.

Stepping onto the arena, Chen Tian looked at Huang Yuexin, his eyes filled with endless emotion.

This dream was really too real...

Her tall figure, familiar face, captivating eyes...

It was so vivid...

Chen Tian wanted to reach out and touch her, to feel her.

But he didn't dare, afraid that the dream would shatter if he did.

Many times in his dreams, at the crucial moment, a touch would wake him up...

He was experienced in this...

At this moment, the teacher below looked at Head Yan, who shook her head and stepped back.

The meaning was clear: let the match start, and deal with the arrogant brat later.

Mr. Li nodded in understanding and announced loudly, "Huang Yuexin of Class 37 versus Chen Tiancai of Class 37, the match begins now!"

"Huang Yuexin!"

"Huang Yuexin, go for it!!"

...

The surrounding students cheered, and Chen Tian didn't mind, just looking at Huang Yuexin with increasingly gentle eyes.

This gaze made Huang Yuexin very sensitive, and she frowned, saying, "Chen Tiancai, your behavior just now was really disgusting."

She thought Chen Tian's arrogant words to Head Yan were for her, which she found repulsive.

But she was also a bit helpless, as she was too outstanding, and some boys always tried to make grand gestures in front of her.

For example, during class, many boys would turn around to look at her, only to be hit by a chalk and punished to stand outside...

For example, on the way home, some boys would ride their bikes past her quickly and wave, only to crash into an old lady...

When she was in junior high, a thirteen-year-old boy pursued her, and when she rejected him...

He drank two liters of white wine and was rushed to the children's hospital...

Even in high school, a boy who was rejected by her stood in the school square with a cigarette and a knife, saying he would give up his evil thoughts and focus on martial arts...

He slashed his wrist, blood splattered, and he left dramatically...

She had seen too many boys make crazy gestures for her...

So, Chen Tian's actions just now seemed childish and laughable to her.

What hadn't she seen in her life?

Chen Tian didn't speak, her voice was still so beautiful...

Her appearance hadn't changed, as beautiful and charming as in his memory...

After a long pause, Chen Tian finally spoke slowly, "Yuexin, are you doing well in heaven?

I miss you so much, and by the grace of heaven, I see you again in my dream... "

Chen Tian's tone was sincere and low, his eyes filled with deep longing, even a bit misty...

Huang Yuexin was stunned...

Heaven? Dream? What do you mean?

Are you cursing me to die?

Just as she was about to explode, Mr. Li interrupted Chen Tian impatiently.

"Cough! Cough!!

Students, you can start now."

At this crucial moment, being interrupted made Chen Tian almost jump down to deal with this insensitive teacher first.

He shook his head, deciding to act directly.

"The match has started, Chen Tiancai is the first to attack, he is approaching his opponent step by step.

However, the difference in their cultivation is too great, this suicidal behavior is unlikely to have any effect.

What?!!"

Seeing the match start, Mr. Li took the microphone and started commenting, but he was stunned and couldn't continue...

Not just him, all the teachers and students were dumbfounded...

Chen Tiancai, he, he actually knelt down on one knee!!

My God!!

What is he doing?

Proposing?

Proposing to her??

After a moment of shock, all the students who were sitting stood up, and some mischievous students started whistling.

The entire arena was in an uproar, but it quickly quieted down again.

Everyone seemed to have a tacit understanding, not wanting to ruin the moment, and wanted to hear what he had to say.

Huang Yuexin was also stunned!

Although she had experienced many things and had many admirers...

She was still a model student, never dated, and never experienced such a scene...

Her face turned red, her hands gripping the hem of her clothes, looking at the kneeling Chen Tiancai, unsure of what to do.

Is he really proposing to me?

What should I do?

Online, I'm waiting, it's urgent...

Before she could think more, Chen Tiancai looked at her seriously, speaking deeply and slowly, "Yuexin, there's a sentence that has been buried in my heart for a long time.

This time, in my dream, I must say it."

At this point, Chen Tian's eyes were full of tenderness, and he spoke with a沧桑 tone, "

Once, a sincere love was placed before me, but I didn't cherish it. When I lost it, I deeply regretted it. The most painful thing in the world is this.

If heaven could give me another chance, I would say three words to that girl:

I love you.

If I had to put a time limit on this love, I would say...

Ten thousand years!!

Yuexin, I like you!

I love you!

Marry me!!!"

Chen Tian's voice rose dramatically at the end, almost shouting with all his might.

This was the regret and torment of all these years...

At this moment, it all burst out...

"Ah!!!"

Huang Yuexin screamed, covering her face with her hands.

She had never heard such moving words from anyone...

Her mind buzzed, almost exploding...

At this moment, although she could kick Chen Tiancai off the arena, how could she bring herself to do it?

Even if she didn't like Chen Tiancai, a boy proposing to her in front of the entire school, saying such earth-shattering words...

Her first reaction was to scream, then to blush, and then to feel annoyed.

Damn! Who had a sincere relationship with this guy?

How do I not know?

Who can tell me?

Of course, she was a bit excited too.

Which girl doesn't like a boy to be impulsive for her?

To fight for her?

Buzz...

The students below erupted again, whistles and cheers filling the air...

Everyone was shocked by Chen Tian's bold words and the sincere and serious atmosphere, as high school strictly prohibited dating.

This coward actually declared his love to a classmate in front of the entire school, his courage was really impressive.

Who gave you the courage?

To openly challenge the school?

Don't want to study anymore?

Whistles and cheers filled the campus, and the teachers' reactions were varied, some encouraging, some coldly smiling...

Chen Tian's boldness was a clear violation of school rules, and he was in for trouble.

But the teachers didn't immediately intervene, impressed by the student's courage...

Everyone had been young once...

They all wanted to see how it would end...

But the next moment, the teachers regretted it...
