"Happy my ass!"
Long Guocheng almost cursed out loud!
From the start of school to now, other than the first meeting where he felt his face go red from being stared at, he hadn't had a single conversation with Xiang Beifei. They didn't even nod to each other in the dorm, having never spent any time alone.
The psychological pressure Xiang Beifei put on Long Guocheng was so immense that, even though Xiang Beifei never bothered with him, Long Guocheng would choose to escape the dorm.
It was only when Li Zimu and Meng Yuekai were around that Long Guocheng could relax a little.
But Ye Changfeng didn't know any of this. He knew that Xiang Beifei was good-tempered, polite, and easy to get along with, thinking that two dorm mates couldn't possibly have a terrible relationship.
"I'll go back to the office to grab some things. I'll be back soon. You guys wait for the others," Ye Changfeng said as he stepped out and disappeared from the classroom.
Once again, only Long Guocheng and Xiang Beifei were left in the classroom.
Damn it!
Long Guocheng's entire face turned green!
In these few months, he had hardly ever been alone with Xiang Beifei, and today, unexpectedly, he was stuck with him again!
He shouldn't have come so early!
Xiang Beifei didn't bother with Long Guocheng and just looked at his cellphone. Long Guocheng didn't speak either, just arrogantly crossed his arms in front of his chest, staring at the blackboard.
The air was filled with a quiet atmosphere.
In the silence, there was a hint of awkwardness.
Every second was torture for Long Guocheng.
How come those idiots haven't arrived yet? Don't they know punctuality is a virtue?
Long Guocheng was already cursing inside his head.
No, I must stay calm!
After all, I am in the advanced stage of Qi-Controlling now, much stronger than when school started. This guy's just a Body Cultivation practitioner, so slow to improve—he's just in the intermediate stage. How can I be afraid of him?
"Exactly, I must be brave and face him! Now that I'm in the advanced stage of Qi-Controlling and he's just in the intermediate stage, what do I have to fear?"
In the past few months, Long Guocheng had trained desperately, all to increase his cultivation level, so he could face this N-grade trash and beat him with his own hands!
Maybe I should try staring him down again?
Xiang Beifei rarely stayed in the dorm, and even when he did, he would go straight to cultivating, then to bed. Long Guocheng went back to the dorm while deliberately trying to avoid Xiang Beifei, never having a conversation. He didn't know if Xiang Beifei's strength had improved by now.
But he knew his own had increased a great deal!
Stare him down! This time, he was absolutely going to win!
Determined, Long Guocheng slowly tilted his head, his gaze filled with an intense pressure, and quietly moved from the blackboard to Xiang Beifei.
Xiang Beifei seemed to sense something and looked up, puzzled.
Their eyes met.
Fucking hell!
Long Guocheng felt petrified by the casual glance from Xiang Beifei, and quickly withdrew his gaze. He could feel his blood burning again.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Am I blushing again?
Still can't win in a staring contest?
This was a miscalculation!
What to do? Should I run?
Long Guocheng felt extremely panicked.
At that moment, Li Zimu, reading a book and eating a bun, walked in. He looked up at his two roommates and remarked, "Our dorm has three people—not bad."
He was also one of the five participating in the freshman contest. Li Zimu and Long Guocheng had just reached the advanced stage of Qi-Controlling not long ago, but they were both very strong; despite Li Zimu's genteel demeanor, he had won a reputation in the fighting arena these past two months, never having lost a fight.
Li Zimu and Xiang Beifei were quite familiar with each other—dorm mates and members of the same club, they got along well.
"Li Zimu, you're late!"
Long Guocheng shouted, as if he'd found a lifeline, and moved to Li Zimu's side without drawing attention to himself. With Li Zimu between them, he could let Li Zimu block Xiang Beifei's daunting aura.
Without Xiang Beifei's gaze on him, Long Guocheng felt much more at ease.
"I went to buy some food and got held up for a bit. Wasn't our agreement to meet at ten? It's only nine fifty now," Li Zimu said while eating his bun. He then asked, "Do you guys want some? I bought a bag."
"All you know is to eat! Every time I see you, you're eating! You should have come with me!" Long Guocheng found a flimsy excuse and shifted an inch further aside.
"Reading consumes a lot of brainpower, so I need to replenish energy—why do you look so weird."
Li Zimu examined Long Guocheng and asked in puzzlement, "Why are you blushing again?"
"I'm not! I didn't! Stop talking nonsense!"
Long Guocheng snapped back!
Li Zimu glanced at Xiang Beifei, who was still looking at his phone and seemed to figure something out, barely holding back a laugh. "Here, have a bun, eating can relieve skin sensitivity," he joked.
He stuffed a bun into Long Guocheng's mouth directly.
"Stop messing around, be mature! We're adults!"
Long Guocheng initially wanted to throw the bun away, but after a moment's hesitation, he viciously bit into it as if he harbored some deep grudge against it.
"Xiang Beifei, do you want one? I bought a bag," Li Zimu said. He had a habit of eating various snacks while reading but, despite all that eating, he never seemed to put on weight.
"Thanks," Xiang Beifei said, accepting the offer.
Seeing Xiang Beifei take a bun, Long Guocheng immediately threw the one he had bitten into the trash without hesitation.
If he's eating buns, then I refuse to indulge!
Long Guocheng snorted disdainfully and haughtily raised his head.
"Wasting my buns," Li Zimu lamented.
About five minutes later, a girl appeared at the door.
