Martial arts have become extinct worldwide, yet I am forced to have a large family.

Another day has passed.

At Xingchen Academy, Yang Xian said goodbye to Liu Qin as usual.

He hadn't taken more than a few steps when a familiar pink figure appeared beside him, bouncing and skipping.

"Yang Xian! Yang Xian! Last night's experiment was a huge success!"

Lin Ai circled around him, her voice filled with barely concealed excitement.

Yang Xian raised an eyebrow: "So, my mecha has a chance?"

"You're still far from it!" Lin Ai immediately poured cold water on his enthusiasm.

"Yesterday I only made a preliminary verification of my hypothesis! To build a complete mech from scratch, those two small pieces of metal from yesterday are not enough!"

She started counting on her fingers, one item at a time.

"A space! I need a studio that's big enough and absolutely quiet!"

"Tools! High-precision machine tools, energy welders, miniature manipulators... these are the most basic!"

"And most importantly, the raw materials! You need to provide me with all of these!"

The success of the experiment is only the first step in a long journey.

Without subsequent resource support, it's all just empty talk.

After all, even a skilled cook can't cook without rice; a ghost can't just conjure up a mecha out of thin air.

"Uh..." Yang Xian looked embarrassed.

Venue, tools, raw materials...

These things sounded like they were beyond the capabilities of an ordinary transfer student like him.

"Where am I supposed to find these things for you?"

"Oh dear, have you forgotten who else you have?" Lin Ai smiled mysteriously, winking at him. "Don't you still have your Sister Liu?"

"She's the chief scientist at the Starry Sky Research Institute; these things must be no problem for her!"

"I can absolutely arrange everything perfectly for you!"

"You make it sound so easy!" Yang Xian pursed his lips and muttered under his breath, "Well, I'll give it a try..."

The cost of trying is too high.

Asking Liu Qin for a favor means I don't know how many nights of "snacks" I'll have to cook for her to repay this debt of gratitude.

Ok……

Even if Yang Xian didn't actively ask Liu Qin for help, he couldn't escape the fate of making "snacks".

However, it will be a bit more tiring then.

I'm afraid... it won't just be in bed anymore.

Any corner of the house can become a new "battlefield".

Yang Xian shuddered and dared not think any further.

However, after walking for a few minutes, he and Lin Aicai saw that figure wearing a baseball cap again.

"Hello!"

With her hands in her pockets, Liu Ruyu raised her chin and demanded, "Why were you running yesterday? And so fast!"

But Yang Xian simply looked at her without any expression and uttered a few words: "What's it to you?"

"I..." Liu Ruyu was choked by his crisp and decisive answer, a breath stuck in her chest.

"What do you mean, 'me'?"

Yang Xian didn't give her a chance to continue speaking. He took a step forward and looked directly at her calmly.

She was completely different from her good temper yesterday.

"First of all, I don't know you well, so please stop following me. I'm annoyed by you."

"Secondly, this is an academy, not your home. Throwing a spoiled princess act at me won't work. I don't owe you anything."

"Finally, spread the rumors however you want. I'm not threatened by you, and I don't care."

After finishing his sentence in one breath, Yang Xian stepped aside and walked straight ahead.

This woman had absolutely no idea what was going on.

Who asks someone for a favor like that?

She found a fake boyfriend and acted like the whole world owed her something.

I indulged her yesterday because I hadn't explained things clearly to Liu Qin yet, and I was afraid of causing any unforeseen complications.

Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, he has no interest in serving this young lady anymore.

How about love!

"You...you...!"

Liu Ruyu stood there, completely stunned.

She opened her mouth and stammered "you" for a long time, but couldn't come up with anything coherent.

Looking at Yang Xian's decisive back, a strong sense of humiliation welled up in my heart.

Liu Ruyu subconsciously turned around to leave.

But the harsh words he had spoken to that woman last night suddenly flashed through his mind.

Her two little hands clenched so tightly they made a squeaking sound.

No!

We absolutely cannot let this go!

She gritted her teeth, finally suppressing her anger, and followed Yang Xian sullenly.

"Yang Xian, she's still following behind!"

Lin Ai glanced back and whispered a reminder.

Yang Xian didn't turn his head and continued walking towards the teaching building.

Let her follow me if she wants; just pretend she doesn't exist!

Just don't bother me!

But the next moment...

Liu Ruyu's voice suddenly rose, resounding throughout the entire square.

"Dear students..."

Don't miss it!

Damn it...

Upon hearing these two sentences, Yang Xian's eyelids twitched violently, and an extremely bad premonition surged into his heart.

Lin Ai, this "ghost," turned around curiously.

Liu Ruyu took a deep breath and shouted at the top of her lungs:

"Free autographed photo of Yang Hyun!"

"The top ten participants will also have the chance to take a photo with their idol!"

"Limited quantity, first come, first served!"

As soon as he finished speaking, countless burning gazes were cast his way.

Yang Xian turned around and stared intently at the smug-looking girl: "Hey! You can't take a joke, can you?"

"So what if I can't handle it?" Seeing his defeated expression, Liu Ruyu's frustration vanished.

She looked completely indifferent, gently twirling her dark blue hair with her index finger.

"Who told you not to agree to my request?"

"If you won't agree, I'll have to resort to this method!"

She raised her chin defiantly: "You must be quite annoyed without me shielding you from these annoying guys, right?"

"Yang Xian, this guy is so smart... no, so cunning!" Lin Ai was stunned, her words filled with amazement.

Before she could finish speaking, she saw a large group of students turn into enthusiastic fans and surge towards her.

"Yang Xian! I want your autograph!"

"Yang Xian, look here! Let's take a picture! I want a picture with you!"

"Don't push! I was here first!"

"..."

"Yang Xian, run!" Lin Ai exclaimed.

When she turned around again, she found that Yang Xian had already disappeared...

------

Class 1, Mecha and Weaponry Department.

"We're safe for now..."

Yang Xian gripped the door frame with one hand and patted his chest, still shaken.

He had barely sat down when a gloomy figure walked up to his desk.

This person was none other than Wei Teng.

This guy recovered so quickly?

Yang Xian was somewhat surprised.

He thought his slap would be enough to keep this guy in bed for ten days or half a month.

It seems the Wei family's medical expertise is indeed quite impressive.

Without saying a word, Wei Teng slammed an envelope onto Yang Xian's desk with a "thud".

The surrounding students' eyes were instantly drawn to it.

Wei Teng leaned down and, in a voice only the two of them could hear, gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence.

"Yang Xian..."

"Don't leave after school!"
