While Lou Cheng was on the phone with Qi Fang, Ji Lingxi kicked off her slippers and sat cross-legged on the bed in Yan Zheke's private bedroom. She looked at her cousin who had just changed into her nightgown with a faint smile.
"Ke, you're so good at keeping secrets. Do you still think I'm your sister? I saw you hugging Lou Cheng in the finals a few days ago. That's how I guessed you two were together! "
If it were before today, Yan Zheke would have been a little proud of her cousin's words. However, the truth told by Lou Cheng had dispelled her complacency. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She replied, "I didn't mean to lie to anyone. Grandpa and Grandma already knew! Hmph, Sister Lingxi, it's because you're living too freely and don't care about me. That's why you didn't find out, right? "
She had kept it a secret for a long time. Except for her father, she couldn't keep it a secret from anyone!
Why was she so careful with Cheng in the beginning?
Ji Lingxi was at a loss for words. She combed her hair and said, "Didn't I tell you that some guys wanted to pursue you? Hmph, what did you tell me? 'I don't want to find a boyfriend for the time being!' Isn't that a lie? "
She changed her voice and tone to Yan Zheke's to describe the original words.
"I didn't lie to you. I already have a boyfriend. Of course I won't find another one. I have to be wholehearted in love. How can I have a foot in two boats?" Yan Zheke retorted righteously.
As she spoke, her lips curved into an unconcealable smile.
I've already thought about how to explain it!
Ji Lingxi's mouth twitched. She said bitterly, "I really want to pinch your face!"
In childhood, Yan Zheke had cute baby fat. Ji Lingxi almost developed the hobby of pinching her face.
Without waiting for her cousin to speak, she changed the topic and gossiped excitedly.
"Ke, when did you and Cheng get together? How long? "
She had asked similar questions on QQ before, but Yan Zheke always changed the topic skillfully. She didn't want to share her and Cheng's private affairs with others, even her cousin.
Now, Ji Lingxi finally had a chance to interrogate her directly!
Yan Zheke's eyebrows twitched. She pursed her pink lips and answered reluctantly,
"We got together on Valentine's Day last year …"
Speaking of this, she suddenly felt sweet and unknowingly added, "He chased after me for a semester."
Aiyaya, I really want Cheng to chase after me again. I didn't feel anything back then and didn't get to enjoy it properly!
"Valentine's Day last year? At that time, Lou Cheng hadn't reached Ninth Pin yet, right? "Ji Lingxi recalled the introduction she had read about Lou Cheng.
"Probably a weak Ninth Pin," Yan Zheke retorted seriously.
Ji Lingxi took a deep breath and furrowed her brows. She said in surprise, "In other words, when you two got together, he was just a newcomer who didn't show any signs of becoming a Heavenly Son of the age at all? Ke, you have good taste … "
"At that time, I didn't think that he would be so talented as to reach Rank Six so quickly." Yan Zheke rolled her eyes and bit her pink lips. She said, "I just felt that he was silly and very attentive to me. Yes, very attentive. He was also very motivated and willing to work hard. Chatting with him and going through the Challenge Tournament with him were very interesting. That's why I fell in love with him …"
As she spoke, her tone gradually softened. Obvious sweetness and happiness overflowed between her eyebrows. Her eyes were like ripples in the spring breeze.
At this moment, Ji Lingxi felt that her cousin was too beautiful to look at directly. She was blinded by the happiness in her words.
Why? Why were all my three boyfriends useless and unmotivated? But Ke could pick an old classmate who had just reached Ninth Pin and pick a Heavenly Son of the age?
Was there really something wrong with her taste or the standard of her choice?
After Yan Zheke finished her narration, she stopped reminiscing and looked at her cousin with gentle and bright eyes. She waved her white hand in front of her. "Sister Lingxi?"
Ji Lingxi came back to her senses and decided not to continue this topic that would make her feel sad. She chuckled and said, "Ke, did I disturb you and Lou Cheng by calling you before?"
Yan Zheke was stunned at first, but then she understood. Thinking of the charm in the car, she couldn't help but blush and deny it.
"Of course not!"
"Hey, I'm experienced. First love aside, I have at least two serious ones. When you picked up the phone, even as a woman, my heart skipped a beat. If it were a man, he would have knelt down and said, 'Okay, okay, okay, I'll listen to you. I'll give you whatever you want!'" Ji Lingxi said. Ji Lingxi teased. She reached out and poked her cousin's collarbone. "Besides, isn't there physical evidence?"
Yan Zheke looked down blankly and saw a red, obvious kiss mark on her delicate collarbone.
Her collar was wrinkled with gauze and covered her collarbone in a refined and elegant manner. Even Lou Cheng didn't notice that he had left a mark. It was only when she changed into her nightgown that everything was exposed.
All of a sudden, Yan Zheke felt her face burning. She wished she could find a hole and hide in it. She had a subtle feeling of being caught red-handed in bed.
She jumped out of bed in embarrassment and anger and ran to the dressing mirror. She took a selfie on her collarbone and sent it to Lou Cheng.
"It's all your fault! It's all your fault! My cousin saw it! "
Lou Cheng had just finished lamenting that the fate of his relatives and friends had changed because of him when he saw the girl's message. "I, I was too excited just now …"
Ji Lingxi saw the whole process of Yan Zheke getting out of bed and taking a selfie. She suddenly felt a sense of loss.
This was the kind of pureness and passion that only real first love had!
Her first love, which was like a child's play, came to an abrupt end. It couldn't even be considered a "first love". By the time she fell in love with him for the second time, she loved him so much that they hurt each other so much that they broke up in the end. By the time she had a boyfriend for the third time, her heart had already aged. She thought more and did less. She was no longer pure and unrestrained.
Seeing Yan Zheke come back bashfully, Ji Lingxi adjusted her mood and smiled.
"Ke, let's sleep together tonight. I have a lot of things to ask you!"
"… Okay." Yan Zheke hesitated for a while and then nodded.
When Ji Lingxi went back to the bedroom to take a shower and change into her nightgown, she lay on the bed and buried her face in the pillow. She raised her legs and swung them.
She had planned to calm down and get rid of the blush on her cheeks. However, she inexplicably recalled the passion by the river and the panic between them.
Yan Zheke suddenly sat up and bit her lower lip. She picked up her phone and opened the search page.
She seriously thought about the brand and model of the car she had driven before. Then, she bashfully typed a line of words in the search bar with a hint of a smile:
"Can the passenger seat of XXX car be flat? How do I do it …"
Click. The search results refreshed. Yan Zheke had just browsed a few when she suddenly received a message from her boyfriend.
"Ke, what's the brand and model of the car we just drove out of?" Lou Cheng asked with an emoji pushing up his sunglasses.
Seeing the familiar question, Yan Zheke's face turned red again. She replied with two words,
"Pervert!"
Pervert? Lou Cheng looked at the inexplicable answer and scratched his head in confusion.
I just thought that this car was good. It was fast and stable. If I need a car in the future, I can consider it. That's why I asked.
How did I become a pervert?
…
The next morning, Lou Cheng temporarily put his doubts to the back of his mind. He got up on time, washed up, and went out. He found a corner in the spacious courtyard of the Ji family's old house. Breathing in the fresh air, he visualized the Swordsman Formula and the corresponding internal training methods of Frost Force and Zhu Rong Force.
The injury on his arm would be healed by the end of May. Therefore, he was not in a hurry to practice his moves. Instead, he concentrated his qi and blood to comprehend the Force Concentration of the balance between ice and fire. In practice, he felt the experience of the Yin and Yang Two Forms that Old Master Ji had shown him yesterday.
The key to the Inhuman level was the strengthening of one's willpower and the improvement of one's mental control over one's root pulp. Under the accumulation of internal training, one's body would show signs of supernatural abilities, and one's quality would change. However, this did not mean that one could enter the Inhuman level seamlessly with supernatural abilities.
Possessing certain characteristics due to this realm and possessing similar characteristics due to certain characteristics were completely different. They were fundamentally different!
Lou Cheng's Ice and Fire supernatural ability came from the stimulation of the Jindan and the blending of power, which was different from his Frost Force and Zhu Rong Force. If he wanted to enter the Inhuman level, he still had to follow the prescribed internal training and change his root pulp so that it was compatible with the martial arts instead of the Jindan. When the supernatural ability of Ice and Fire, Frost Force, and Zhu Rong Force were perfectly integrated, there would be no difference. That was one of the main conditions to enter the Inhuman level.
His qi and blood, spirit, and force all contracted and embraced each other in balance. Then, they quickly collapsed and rushed out … Lou Cheng observed the subtle changes in his body, looking for the traces of the changes of Yin and Yang, ice and fire.
Unknowingly, the sky was bright and the sun was piercing. Lou Cheng put away his stance and exhaled a mouthful of foul air, ending the morning training.
His physical qualities were not at the level of the top Sixth Pin. How could he enter the Inhuman level in one step?
Calming down, Lou Cheng returned to the house and met Ji Jianzhang and Dou Ning, who had also returned from training. They nodded in satisfaction.
After breakfast, Ji Lingxi went out to sea to play. Yan Zheke's stomach started to hurt, so she went back to her room to lie down. Lou Cheng went to sleep beside her and rubbed her stomach with his warm hands.
Yan Zheke felt the familiar support and the care to relieve the pain. She felt that the pain was not so bad.
Sneaking a glance at Lou Cheng, she suddenly recalled what her cousin, Ji Lingxi, had said last night.
"Ke, are you still going abroad?"
"Yes."
"Are you willing to give up your Lou Cheng? Are you not afraid? Are you not afraid of problems? "
"I believe in him and I believe in myself."
"Then enjoy it. There is only one year and three months left."
Hearing this, Yan Zheke's mood inexplicably darkened. She couldn't help but lean closer to Lou Cheng.
There is only one year left. I have to cherish every day with Cheng …
…
After the pain of the first day passed, Lou Cheng and Yan Zheke had a good time in Lin Ning with their tour guide, Ji Lingxi. On the afternoon of the 4th, they set off on their return journey.
In the past few days, except for her aunt who went to Shushan Study to take care of Lin Que, Yan Zheke's uncles, Lingfang and Lingyun all had excuses to not come back.
When they returned to campus, Lou Cheng and Yan Zheke's life was once again fulfilling. Every day, they had to work overtime to make up for the classes they missed. Fortunately, during the National Competition, they rarely went out. After watching the videos of their opponents, they spent most of their time studying. Finally, they caught up with the progress before the final exam and were confident about their grades.
After the last exam, Yan Zheke was about to wait for Lou Cheng when the class monitor told her to go to the school office.
"Cheng, I'm going to the lower house office. Wait for me after the exam." She sent a message with her dimples. Then she followed the class monitor to the dean's office and saw three classmates who were in the same training program as her.
When the dean saw that everyone was present, he crossed his arms and coughed.
"Ivon University has made a request. They hope that the training program can be advanced by one year and you can go there in your third year. This way, you can adapt better and learn better. The school has thought about it and thinks it's a good idea …"
Seeing the dean's mouth open and close, Yan Zheke didn't hear the rest of his words. There was only one thought echoing in her mind.
One year ahead, one year ahead …
