Chapter 0093: Strange Dream

"Yao Yao, what's wrong with you?" Chen Yushu was startled, looking at Chu Mengyao, whose expression was about to break into tears, not knowing what had happened.

"Nothing..." Chu Mengyao sighed deeply, "Xiao Shu, do you think I was too overbearing today?"

"No!" Chen Yushu sensed something from Chu Mengyao's words. Could she still be troubled by today's events? Yao Yao didn't seem to be the kind of person who would be so sensitive.

"Maybe... He doesn't care..." Chu Mengyao shook her head.

"Yao Yao... Your test paper?" Chen Yushu suddenly noticed that Chu Mengyao's test paper was filled with detailed steps to solve the problems, and she was quite surprised. "Did Brother Jian write this for you? He's really nice to you!"

When grading someone else's test paper, there was no obligation to write out the solutions to the wrong answers. Everyone had heard the teacher's explanations and would correct their papers at home. However, Lin Yi had meticulously written out the steps for Chu Mengyao, which surprised Chen Yushu and made her understand why Chu Mengyao was so moved!

Chu Mengyao didn't say anything and focused on the questions she had answered incorrectly. Seeing Chu Mengyao studying seriously, Chen Yushu also turned her attention to her own test paper.

To her surprise, Lin Yi's solutions were even more detailed than the teacher's. Lin Yi seemed to be afraid she wouldn't understand, so he wrote out every step in great detail, even adding annotations. This made Chu Mengyao not only surprised but also start to doubt Lin Yi's identity!

Where did her father find this person? When she first saw him, she thought he was a migrant worker, but now, how could a migrant worker solve a third-year high school math problem?

When Chu Mengyao saw the last bonus question, she was initially surprised. Hadn't she solved it? When Mr. Liu explained it, she had felt a bit proud, as she was the only one in the class who had solved it, which satisfied her vanity a little.

However, when she saw Lin Yi's solution, she was stunned! It was a method she had never seen before, but it was much simpler than her own!

Chu Mengyao felt a surge of emotion. She knew that Lin Yi was genuinely trying to help her, not just going through the motions. Otherwise, he wouldn't have bothered to write out this method.

"Xiao Shu... Look at this solution..." Chu Mengyao sighed and pushed her test paper towards Chen Yushu.

"Huh?" Chen Yushu initially thought Chu Mengyao needed help with a problem, but when she saw the solution Lin Yi had written, she couldn't help but gape. "No way! Brother Jian is so powerful? Not only is he good at fighting, but he's also so smart! Yao Yao, you got a great deal!"

"Got a great deal?" Chu Mengyao looked at Chen Yushu, puzzled.

"Where can you find a guy like this? You should make your move first, or someone else will snatch him away!" Chen Yushu said.

"..." Chu Mengyao pursed her lips and said disdainfully, "Him? Who would want him?"

"Hehe..." Chen Yushu grinned mischievously. "There are many, just wait and see."

After finishing his meal, Lin Yi threw the two leftover ribs to General Wu Wu. He had originally planned to save them for tomorrow's breakfast noodles, but since it was the weekend, Uncle Fu said he would take care of all three meals. Besides, Chu Mengyao and Chen Yushu would definitely sleep in, so there was no need for him to get up early to make breakfast.

Back in his room, Lin Yi fell onto the bed. Today had been busy, and he had been mentally tense in the afternoon while boiling medicine for Yang Huaijun. He felt really tired and didn't want to get up.

Missing one day of practice shouldn't matter, right? Lin Yi hesitated... Since he came out of that strange cave, he hadn't slept. He spent every night practicing, and after practicing, he felt as refreshed as if he had slept for ten hours.

At home, no matter how tired he was, Old Lin would always be there to supervise, so Lin Yi didn't dare to slack off. During missions, he had to remain vigilant and couldn't really sleep.

This situation was something he had never experienced before. Without Old Lin to push him and no danger around, Lin Yi decided to be lazy.

Indeed, when one is comfortable, one becomes lazy.

Lin Yi sighed. However, he was really tired today and didn't want to practice. He just wanted to sleep soundly.

Vaguely, Lin Yi felt as if he had entered a void, a complete darkness...

Lin Yi immediately became alert. Where is this? Am I dreaming?

Suddenly, as if following his thoughts, the void became incredibly bright, like daylight.

A figure gradually materialized in front of him...

"Who... are you?" Lin Yi asked instinctively.

Dreams hadn't appeared for many years, and Lin Yi had gradually forgotten the feeling of dreaming. Was he dreaming now?

"I am surnamed Jiao..." The figure slowly formed into the appearance of an old man, somewhat ethereal and dignified, and said calmly to Lin Yi.

"What? Surnamed Jiao?" Lin Yi was taken aback, looking at the old man. He thought, how could this person be so vulgar? His first words were so crude? Could it be that watching too many adult movies had corrupted his mind, making him dream about such nonsense?

"Uh..." The old man was immediately embarrassed. "I am surnamed Jiao, known as Jiao Yazi, that's me."

"What? Jiao Yazi?" Lin Yi was even more taken aback. What kind of dream is this? Is it a comedy?

Jiao Yazi was speechless... This nickname hadn't been used for years, and he didn't expect this kid to bring it up. He was somewhat displeased: "It's Jiao Yazi, not Jiao Yazi. You brat, don't be disrespectful to me!"

"Sorry, Old Jiao... I misheard earlier..." Lin Yi was immediately embarrassed, but he thought, it's just a dream character, no need to take it so seriously, right?

"Do you think you're dreaming?" Jiao Yazi seemed to see through Lin Yi's thoughts, and he sneered, looking at him.

"Uh? Isn't it?" Lin Yi was taken aback, looking at Jiao Yazi with confusion.

"Then pinch yourself and see if it hurts," Jiao Yazi said mockingly. "I never thought that when my ancestor sealed a part of my illusion in this jade pendant, waiting for a destined person, it would be you, a fool."
