Seeing Zhang Chen shake his head helplessly, Xiaobai knew he didn't believe her. She didn't rush to explain, but yawned and said,
"Oh, I'm too tired today, we should go to bed!"
Moran stood beside them and nodded.
"But there's only one bed, isn't that a bit inconvenient!"
Zhang Chen scratched his head, looking troubled.
Before, he was with Moran because she was a special spirit, not a human.
So, hugging her to sleep didn't feel awkward.
Moreover, many times at night Moran would turn into a small cat, and who would have impure thoughts hugging a cat?! Read novels
But Xiaobai was different; she was a lively young girl.
If they were together like this... even though they weren't related by blood, it still wouldn't do!
"Come on, Dad, we've saved a spot for you!"
Xiaobai patted the bed and said with a giggle.
She and Moran were on either side, one black and one white, leaving the middle spot open.
"This..."
Zhang Chen scratched his head, embarrassed.
"Oh, we've always slept like this!"
Xiaobai further persuaded him.
"Well... you two face outwards, if you both face me, I won't be able to sleep!"
Zhang Chen said, feeling a little shy.
"Alright, alright, I get it!"
"You've seen everything, and you're still so shy, this is the first time I've seen Dad so shy!"
Xiaobai giggled, finding it very amusing.
"Meow!"
Moran was still innocent in her current state, obediently turning her head away.
"That's more like it!"
Only then did Zhang Chen carefully lie down between the two girls, his hands honestly by his sides.
After an unknown amount of time, he drifted off to sleep.
When morning came, Zhang Chen felt a bit suffocated.
Opening his eyes, he saw that Xiaobai was lying all over him, and Moran was even more exaggerated, hugging one of his legs and sleeping soundly.
"I have to go to class!"
Zhang Chen exerted all his strength to remove the two girls from his body, then quickly dressed himself.
Today was the alchemy class, a large lecture.
Almost all the new students attended the class together in the large lecture hall, unlike his previous small, private lessons.
Being late for this would be utterly embarrassing!
Zhang Chen quickly washed up, then pushed the door open and left the dormitory.
*Poof!*
He was so focused on walking with his head down that he bumped into something soft.
"Ah!"
Zhao Xiyue cried out, covering her chest with her hands, her face blushing.
"Ah, Zhao Xiyue? Why are you at my dorm entrance?"
Zhang Chen asked in surprise.
"You're asking? Didn't you ask me to pretend to be your girlfriend?"
"Shouldn't a girlfriend bring breakfast to her boyfriend?"
Zhao Xiyue said, handing over the breakfast she was holding.
She appeared to be pouting, but in reality, she was secretly observing Zhang Chen's expression.
"Oh, thank you, how did you know I hadn't eaten breakfast, that's great!"
Zhang Chen took the breakfast, opened the plastic bag, and took a bite directly.
"Delicious!"
Zhang Chen said excitedly.
"Really, why are you eating it now? We should hurry to the classroom, there's still time to eat there!"
"If you eat while walking, you might choke on the wind!"
Zhao Xiyue said anxiously.
"No, no, I'm used to it!"
Zhang Chen said with a smile.
The two walked across the campus, chatting and laughing.
This caused many girls around to cast sideways glances.
It was impossible to say if it was envy, jealousy, or even a hint of resentment.
The classroom was in an ordinary teaching building.
There were a total of 200 new students in this batch, all seated in a large tiered classroom.
Usually, in such classrooms, Zhang Chen would choose a seat in the farthest row so the teacher wouldn't see him.
But Zhao Xiyue was a top student and dragged Zhang Chen to sit in the front row, almost face-to-face with the teacher.
A moment later, Zhou Feifei walked in with her long legs.
Her gaze calmly swept across the classroom, and when she saw Zhang Chen, her gaze paused slightly.
Then, Zhou Feifei saw Zhao Xiyue sitting next to Zhang Chen, and a strange emotion flashed in her eyes.
"Hello everyone, first of all, let me introduce myself. My name is Zhou Feifei, and I am the teacher for Spirit Energy Alchemy, as well as the Vice Dean of the academy!"
"Spirit Energy Alchemy is a very important course because it can often play a crucial role in turning the tide of battle!"
"Today, we will be learning to make the most basic and highest consumption pill, the Spirit Energy Pill!"
