After the time travel, my cheat program disappeared.

It is said that there are four joys in life.

Rain after a long drought, meeting an old friend in a foreign land, the wedding night, and passing the imperial examination.

An unexpected encounter.

The emotion of meeting an old friend in a foreign land naturally brought Shi Yan joy.

What's more... I met Ming Zhongqing in Yong'an City.

Aside from "passing the imperial examination," one can get a bit of the other three joys to some extent.

Ok.

Even if it's "when you pass the imperial examination," it's not necessarily a bad thing.

It depends on where the question is located.

Ming Zhongqing had no idea what Shi Yan was thinking.

The girl's lips couldn't help but curve upwards slightly.

Although he wanted to pretend it was a "chance encounter" and that he didn't care, when he actually saw Shi Yan, Ming Zhongqing still couldn't suppress the urge to laugh.

She could only console herself with this thought.

Even if she said that she had only "coincidentally" met Shi Yan, Shi Yan wouldn't believe her.

I've wanted to lie since I was a child.

It's better to just be honest.

The only problem with being completely honest is... how to explain my desire to see her.

This guy is quite the playboy.

If I were to be completely honest with her, she would definitely laugh at me.

Then they treat her like those 'seductive sluts'.

But...should we hide it?

I would never hide it from myself.

Ming Zhongqing's mind was in complete turmoil.

Just as Ming Zhongqing's lips were beginning to curve upwards... she suddenly heard the soft, childlike voice of the girl in Shi Yan's arms.

"It's the sun!!!"

dong dong——

What is cardiac arrest?

The more you care about something, the more you'll forget everything else and start thinking about it.

Ming Zhongqing even subconsciously wanted to cover his forehead with his hands.

Breathing seemed to become difficult in an instant. Ming Zhongqing felt a darkness before his eyes and his body began to sway.

Everyone around seemed to be looking at him, and then they all wore that mocking smile.

However, what Ming Zhongqing cared about most was...

Ming Zhongqing looked up at the very center of the black circle.

The teacher who had previously greeted me with a bright smile.

"Where is she?"

The smile on Shi Yan's face vanished.

He even adopted a worried expression with a furrowed brow.

She gently covered the little girl's mouth.

Although Shi Yan used to tease Ming Zhongqing that the thinner his hair was, the more he liked to tie it into a high ponytail, making his scalp look taut.

He also often stares at his forehead with an almost mocking gaze.

But...it's different.

Unlike some people, Shi Yan never mocked himself.

On the contrary, the way he belittled himself for not knowing how to take care of himself made Ming Zhongqing want to rebel, but at the same time, he also remembered his teacher's words.

She didn't smile.

Even though he had broken through to the Spirit Realm, Ming Zhongqing's physique was still just as poor.

In a moment of anger, he nearly collapsed.

Shi Yan carried the little girl down lightly, like a warm breeze brushing against her cheek.

After that near-drowsy, suffocating state, Ming Zhongqing didn't even know how Shi Yan helped him to the private room on the second floor.

The Pure Color Mandala simply stood coldly on the edge of the second-floor railing, looking down at Ming Zhongqing in the hall.

What is the relationship between this girl and Shi Yan?

The demon girl wrinkled her little nose.

I could smell a rather foul odor coming from her.

In the private room on the second floor, Shi Yan held the little girl Ba on her lap. Her gentle and virtuous older sister demeanor made Ming Zhongqing feel that he couldn't take his eyes off her.

"Why...why doesn't Shiyan treat me with that kind of gentleness?"

wrong.

When I was very, very young, Shi Yan seemed to always greet me with a smile.

But when did this change begin?

It seems... it started from the day Shi Yan had no choice or was unwilling to cultivate.

Something must have happened that day.

But I didn't know it.

From that day on, I never saw Shi Yan again in the school.

Shi Yan returned to the Shi family.

From then on, whenever Shi Yan saw him, he always acted like he was bullying him, so he naturally retaliated in kind.

A person made a fuss about hair.

One person made a fuss about cultivation level.

Now that I think about it... adults always say that children don't know how to express their inner emotions.

Sometimes... you like someone but don't know how to express it, so you can only 'tease' the other person to express your feelings.

But... he didn't dare to actually do it.

When I see someone I like being bullied, I want to protect her.

Ming Zhongqing recalled.

Shi Yan had protected himself before.

A child mocked him for being like Sanmao, and was immediately pushed over by Shiyan.

Shi Yan is a girl who changed her hairpin and wore a cap.

Girls develop faster than boys, and at that time, among her peers, Shi Yan was like a little tyrant.

You wouldn't guess at all that they're now causing harm to the country and its people.

No... Ming Zhongqing looked down at Shi Yan's skirt and thought of all the beautiful women around this guy.

She's clearly a girl, but she's full of bad intentions.

Ming Zhongqing couldn't help but wonder...did Shi Yan actually have even the slightest bit of affection for him?

Even if it's just liking between friends.

How do you say that word?

Best friend...yes, even just a little bit of pure, innocent liking between friends is fine.

Or perhaps she simply enjoys bullying me.

The joy of seeing oneself is simply the joy of meeting an old friend in a foreign land.

In fact, even the teacher couldn't quite put it into words.

In the game, she simply enjoys bullying Ming Zhongqing.

After Ming Zhongle's affair and Ming Zhongqing's affection for him turned into hatred, this guy would come to seek revenge almost every month.

certainly--

Even with the blessing of the Yangyan Beast, Ming Zhongqing could not defeat Shi Yan, who was equipped with a cheat code.

Even if Shi Yan just stood there with his invincible state and let Ming Zhongqing hit him, Ming Zhongqing could still exhaust himself to the point of being breathless and having all his energy depleted.

Shi Yan's favorite thing was to defeat Ming Zhongqing, see the humiliated look on her face, and then press the button to dance in front of her.

When others are defeated in battle, they try every means to beg for mercy.

Just like that famous picture Shi Yan saw on the forum before, [Please, for the sake of my wife being your Daoist partner, spare me.]

Also... back in the game, when Wen Ruya was bullying her lower-level Daoist partners everywhere, she would say, "Please, for the sake of the fact that my Daoist partner is also your Daoist partner, spare my life."

Ming Zhongqing is different.

Her lines are almost always the same: "Kill me, Shi Yan!"

He looked like he wanted to die.

But the teacher disagreed.

Shi Yan would always take Ming Zhongqing to a safe place, then simply dust himself off and leave.

Shi Yan wouldn't even help Ming Zhongqing with his treatment.

He was afraid that the girl's feelings for him might shift from hatred to affection.
