Chapter 2019: Chapter 1999:

Upon hearing such rumors, Luo Mier and He Wenyu were both at a loss whether to laugh or cry; Luo Mier felt even more helpless.

In contrast, Luo Qianqian looked relieved and didn’t forget to comfort them both: "Maybe this is what they call ’can’t get it, so must destroy it’?"

He Wenyu held her forehead: "Are you sure this didn’t come from you? Such advanced thinking! And it’s even spreading? Looks like best buddies are not just a pipe dream—they can be conjured up in minutes. People nowadays are a bit too gossipy..."

The part about He Wenyu isn’t such a big deal, but the rumors about Luo Mier really stir the imagination, don’t they?

Just stepping outside, you hear so many people talking about it. The key is, it’s not just the freshmen...

Luo Mier was also feeling helpless, not knowing what kind of expression she should wear to face this.

Fortunately, all three were indifferent to the rumors, not letting these unfounded issues create distance between them. Instead, it brought them closer.

"Cough, cough..." Emperor Jun’s hands were suddenly intertwined as he started coughing violently, while his ears visibly reddened... Some unknown reason, obviously...

"Why cough? Your voice is annoying; go away." Qian Xi said fiercely: "Don’t interrupt my date with Shiliu and Mier!"

Since there was already a misunderstanding, Luo Qianqian didn’t mind people having misconceptions a bit more. After all... It keeps the flies away, right?

In this academy, it’s not just Luo Mier; even she and He Wenyu were often stopped for ’making friends,’ but those people’s intentions weren’t of friendship, and they’re not fools. How could they be fooled like that? Taking advantage of those strange looks to find peace was quite nice, wasn’t it?

"Cough, cough, as you wish, as you wish..." Emperor Jun quickly stepped aside, and didn’t forget to wink: "But... Shiliu, surely you wouldn’t neglect those tortured stomachs in our class because of a date? We miss your cooking."

He Wenyu: "???" Is all she worth a cook?

She immediately turned her head, smiling gracefully: "Well, from now on, I’ll only cook for my dear Mier, sorry about that." She said and walked away with a radiant smile.

Luo Qianqian walked along, snickering, and only stopped laughing after she’d passed. Turning her head to glance at Emperor Jun, he looked as if he’d been abandoned, his mouth agape in disbelief, eyes wide open, watching them leave, even reaching out a hand—perhaps to hold them back?

"Haha, look at Emperor Jun turning into a Waiting-for-Husband Stone, huh? You’re really something." Luo Qianqian laughed, but she didn’t mind; after all... she wouldn’t be missing anyone.

"You’re really bad, look at Emperor Jun’s expression—it’s as if he’s been dumped." Luo Mier also turned her head, glanced over twice, and couldn’t hold back, giggling sweetly, watching He Wenyu laugh heartily. The three left joyfully, hand in hand.

Emperor Jun’s heart was shattered, but at this moment, he was helpless.

"I really believed your nonsense!" My dear Mier, indeed...

Others might not know what’s going on, but don’t the people in their class know? It’s pure laziness, sheer laziness!!!

But upon reflection, He Wenyu isn’t the academy’s cook, making delicious food for them every day without wanting anything in return.

But they seem to be constantly taking without giving anything to He Wenyu?

Like Luo Qianqian—even if they were siblings, she often gives small things as a gesture. It doesn’t have to be significant, could be playful, even just a Baozi, symbolizing their friendship.

Emperor Jun took a deep breath, realizing his shortcomings, immediately resolved: "I need to give Shiliu some small gifts too, otherwise if I can’t enjoy Shiliu’s delicious food anymore, life would feel meaningless..."

Meanwhile, He Wenyu was completely oblivious to this, happily heading towards the classroom with the two.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, dark clouds gathered in the sky. Immediately, everyone looked up; the energy accumulated within those clouds was formidable!

Luo Qianqian was stunned, releasing her grip: "You guys go on to the classroom; I’ll go and check, it’s probably Yan coming out of seclusion."

"Alright, go, go." He Wenyu waved her hand cheerfully.

Luo Qianqian jumped up, tapping a few spots on the nearby trees before disappearing into a small black dot.

Luo Mier looked a bit puzzled at He Wenyu: "Yan? Divine Doctor Yan?"

He Wenyu nodded, and while heading towards the classroom, said, "Yan and Shiqi have a good relationship; it’s reasonable to go and take a look. Don’t worry, if you need medicine in the future, the Divine Doctor will surely give you face."

Luo Mier burst into muffled giggles: "Really? Well, I should take advantage and see if the Nine-Turn Dragon Xuan Pill or something else is better. This opportunity should be well-utilized."

However, she turned to say: "Although there’s always been rumors that the Divine Doctor is strikingly handsome, robed in white, ethereal, part of celestial allure, I’ve never seen him—wonder if he truly matches the rumors?"

"Hmm, as Shiqi says, ’In the field, one like jade, unmatched in the world,’ it fits Yan perfectly," He Wenyu remarked, after a brief silence, with a smile.

After all... Mo doesn’t fit that description. Mo has a bit of wicked charm, and although they look identical, there’s never been an instance of mistaking them for each other.

Yan at first glance is ethereal, peerless, independent of the world.

Mo feels like it captivates the masses, stunning the eye.

Both are beautiful, share the same face, but it’s undeniable that the two styles wouldn’t be mistaken.

"In the field, one like jade, unmatched in the world." Luo Mier’s eyes turned wistful: "I really want to see who can live up to Shiqi’s appraisal, what they’re really like."

He Wenyu indeed puckered her lips, mumbling inwardly that as long as she doesn’t fall for Yan, seeing him daily wouldn’t be a problem.

After all... Yan and Mo both unexpectedly showed an interest in Luo Qianqian.

It’s been like this for years, only later for unknown reasons, Luo Qianqian started acting ambiguously with them.

Even though they had a good relationship in the past, Luo Qianqian always maintained a very clear distance.

But now, for some reason, she doesn’t maintain that previous distance with them, which leaves He Wenyu baffled.
