By the time Zhang Jue woke up, it was already evening.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone through the window and onto the ground, making it look golden.
He looked around and realized that he was lying on the sofa in the VIP room of Jiangzhou University, with Yang Xue's jacket draped over his body.
He sat up and rubbed his swollen neck.
"You're awake?"
Yang Xue's surprised voice sounded.
Ever since Zhang Jue fell asleep due to exhaustion, she had been by Zhang Jue's side.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, she went to borrow a blanket. Who knew that Zhang Jue would wake up in such a short time?
Yang Xue poured him a glass of water.
Zhang Jue gulped it down. It seemed that he was very thirsty.
"Slow down." Yang Xue poured him another glass. "How are you feeling? Are you still tired?"
There was no need to be pretentious with Yang Xue. Zhang Jue nodded. "I'm not really tired, but my head is a little dizzy."
Using his ability consumed both his physical and mental strength. His physical strength was fine, but his mental strength was a little difficult to deal with because he had not undergone systematic training.
Yang Xue knew that Zhang Jue was not the kind of person who would show weakness easily. If he told her the truth, it meant that he trusted her completely.
If she had not asked Zhang Jue to let the students finish the performance, Zhang Jue would not have fainted from exhaustion. Yang Xue felt a little guilty.
She thought for a moment and said, "How about I give you a massage?"
Yang Xue's cheeks were slightly red. Under the setting sun, there was an indescribable beauty.
Zhang Jue did not tease her, which was rare. He tilted his head and said, "Okay."
Zhang Jue lay on Yang Xue's lap. His mind was completely empty, without any distracting thoughts.
Yang Xue's icy cold fingers were placed on his temple, gently massaging it.
It was quiet all around, as if time had stopped at this moment.
…
Unknowingly, the sky had turned completely dark.
There was a knock on the door, followed by Vice President Zhang's voice. "Are you two awake? The banquet is about to begin."
Originally, Zhang Jue and Yang Xue didn't plan to attend the banquet here, but Zhang Jue suddenly fainted, which disrupted their plans.
Zhang Jue replied, "Got it. You go first. We'll be there soon."
The charity banquet was held at the Jiangzhou Hotel opposite the school gate.
Under the guidance of President Bai and Minister Qiu, Vice President Zhang Jue had already known the significance of Zhang Jue to Jiangzhou City. He was afraid that Zhang Jue did not know, but he did not dare to go against Zhang Jue's wishes. He could only tell them the location first and then rush back to report.
Yang Xue massaged Zhang Jue for a while. When Zhang Jue sighed in satisfaction, the two of them went downstairs.
It was seven o 'clock in the evening and the lights had just come on.
Zhang Jue and Yang Xue arrived at the Jiangzhou Hotel.
It was clearly past the time, but the banquet did not seem to have officially started. In the hall, the invited guests gathered in twos and threes, drinking and chatting.
Although it was strange, Zhang Jue, who had returned to normal, did not care so much. He grabbed the small cake on the table and stuffed it into his mouth.
His mental exhaustion had improved a lot, but he was obviously hungrier than usual.
"Cough, cough —"
