Although Zhou Yu said so, the expressions of the surrounding family venerables clearly didn't quite believe him.
Originally, everyone still wanted to probe Zhou Yu's depth further.
Unfortunately, Zhou Yu no longer paid them any attention, citing an excuse of having matters to attend to, and left directly!
After Zhou Yu left, their discussions became even bolder.
"Where do you think this divine doctor Zhou comes from? He has so many good things!"
"Yes, I used to think he was at most on a friendly term with Elder Lin, but now it seems that's not entirely true."
Seeing how reliant Lin Weidong was on Zhou Yu, almost to the point where he consulted Zhou Yu on everything concerning the Dragon Group.
If they were merely good friends, no one would believe it!
Alas, they couldn't guess Zhou Yu's background at all.
It was Elder Zhang who said, "I heard before that he was just a guard in the Outer Sea Prison, it seems the intelligence was incorrect!"
The crowd had different opinions on Zhou Yu's identity.
However, their conclusion was surprisingly consistent.
That is, Zhou Yu's identity was not as simple as it appeared on the surface!
For the entire night, everyone was resting.
Because the martial arts competition had a tight schedule, almost no one would be out wandering around.
Especially those who were eliminated, they were cramming to regain a passing rank in the elimination rounds.
As for those who had not yet been eliminated, they were even more diligent!
Zhou Yu originally planned to sleep as well.
Who knew that as soon as he lay down on the bed, there was a knock on the door.
Knock, knock, knock –
The knock was not loud; if Zhou Yu had been asleep, he wouldn't have noticed it at all.
And it was very light.
Zhou Yu frowned, adjusted his pajamas, and went to open the door.
"Good evening." Zhao Ruyue's flushed little face immediately appeared before him!
She probably didn't expect Zhou Yu to open the door so quickly, not even having time to compose her expression.
Especially when she saw Zhou Yu only in his pajamas, revealing his lean and strong muscles, she was completely flustered!
"It's so late, what is it?" Zhou Yu asked indifferently.
Mainly, he had just gotten rid of the troublesome family venerables and was in no mood to force a smile and talk to Zhao Ruyue.
A hint of panic flashed across Zhao Ruyue's face.
She quickly steadied her nerves and said to Zhou Yu, "Nothing, it's just that the moonlight is particularly beautiful tonight, so..."
So, she wanted to invite him to admire the moon?
Zhou Yu was instantly stunned.
Fortunately, it was Zhao Ruyue who knocked.
If it had been someone else without this layer of relationship, Zhou Yu would have probably just told them to get lost!
He glanced at the moon outside; it was indeed large and round.
After a moment of thought, Zhou Yu spoke, "Many new students were injured in today's martial arts competition, the medical team must be very busy, right?"
Indeed, fists and kicks were merciless.
Many new students, although they didn't lose their lives on the stage, were seriously injured.
Everyone in the medical team was working like a spinning top!
Hearing Zhou Yu's words, Zhao Ruyue automatically mistook him for being concerned about whether she was tired.
So, Zhao Ruyue hurriedly replied, "I'm not tired, not tired at all."
Zhou Yu's veins almost bulged, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say!
Was he talking about whether she was tired or not?
He meant for Zhao Ruyue to hurry back and get some good rest!
Taking a deep breath, Zhou Yu continued, "Let's forget about admiring the moon. If there's nothing else, I need to rest."
Tomorrow, Da Xiong and Ouyang Feng were scheduled to enter the third round of the competition.
Da Xiong was not a concern, but Ouyang Feng, after fighting with Cheng Hong today, was quite injured.
Although he had the medicinal bath pack given by Zhou Yu to recover, Ouyang Feng's foundation was weak.
In just one night, he couldn't return to his peak condition.
If Ouyang Feng encountered a tricky opponent tomorrow, it would be difficult!
Zhou Yu had to keep an eye out to prevent any accidents.
Zhao Ruyue sounded a little disappointed upon hearing this.
She nodded slightly and said haltingly, "Then... then you should rest. We can see it later when you have time."
After speaking, Zhao Ruyue left, looking back three times.
Watching Zhao Ruyue's figure disappear into the darkness, Zhou Yu finally closed the door.
He lay on his arm, his eyes open on the bed.
Zhao Ruyue's strange behavior had caught Zhou Yu's attention.
Before, Zhao Ruyue would always state her thoughts directly, whatever they were.
But this time, Zhao Ruyue held back her words, appearing hesitant.
Zhou Yu couldn't help but think, "Could she really have fallen for me?"
Before, Zhao Ruyue was merely unconvinced, which was why she pestered him.
Now, with this demeanor, had the pretend act become real?
However, Zhou Yu quickly shook his head.
It was too terrifying!
He had no such intentions towards Zhao Ruyue!
As for Zhao Ruyue, after descending from the dormitory building of the observation group, she stood below, gazing foolishly at Zhou Yu's window.
The streetlights cast a long shadow of her figure.
"This is so embarrassing."
Zhao Ruyue thought of her own behavior just now and wished she could find a hole to crawl into!
After Zhou Yu resolved the Shadow Organization's stronghold, Zhao Ruyue saw her true feelings clearly.
At the same time, she knew that she might not be worthy of Zhou Yu.
Therefore, she intended to create some distance.
However, if the heart could be controlled, it wouldn't be called a heart!
Having held back for so long without interacting with Zhou Yu, Zhao Ruyue found herself missing him more and more.
Whether she was eating, sleeping, or working, Zhou Yu's figure would appear in her mind.
Zhao Ruyue knew she was doomed!
Tonight, Zhao Ruyue saw that both of Zhou Yu's students had achieved good results.
So, thinking that Zhou Yu was in a good mood, she decided to ask him out to look at the moon.
Who knew that after gathering her courage to come over, she was brushed off with just two sentences...
"I'm so pathetic!" Zhao Ruyue spat at herself, then turned and left.
The next day.
Early in the morning, all the new students, after hastily eating breakfast, rushed to the training grounds to cram.
Some, to save time, didn't even go to the cafeteria for breakfast.
Instead, they brought two steamed buns and headed straight for the training grounds!
Da Xiong and Ouyang Feng, on the other hand, were leisurely.
With their current progress, even if they went to the training grounds, it wouldn't be very effective without Zhou Yu's guidance.
And Zhou Yu was likely not up yet at this hour.
So, the two of them had a relaxed meal at the cafeteria and then slowly walked towards the arena.
Just as they were nearing the arena, a graceful figure blocked their way.
"Dr. Zhao?" Da Xiong asked Zhao Ruyue in confusion.
Mainly, he hadn't seen Zhao Ruyue for over a month.
Since Zhao Ruyue tried to avoid Zhou Yu, she naturally also tried to avoid these two students of Zhou Yu.
So, Da Xiong didn't understand what Zhao Ruyue's intention was in stopping them early in the morning.
Zhao Ruyue nodded nervously, then asked, "Do you have time?"
