The newly admitted student who had just accused Zhou Yu of misleading people was burying his head so low that he wished he could disappear on the spot.
If only they had known about Zhou Yu's capabilities earlier and built a good relationship with him.
Perhaps Zhou Yu would have been assigned as their coach for targeted training.
Techniques like "striking through the mountain to hit the bull," a long-lost martial art, might have been theirs to obtain.
However.
It wasn't too late to build a good relationship now!
Judging by Zhou Yu's demeanor, he might have even better things up his sleeve.
With this thought, many began to stir with anticipation.
When Zhou Yu sat down to rest,
Da Xiong went to buy lunch.
Many new students gathered around Zhou Yu, curiously asking him questions.
Of course, most of these questions were trivial, like what they would eat for lunch.
Although they were also very curious about where Zhou Yu learned the "striking through the mountain to hit the bull" technique,
They also understood that this was a secret.
If they asked, Zhou Yu would not only refuse to answer but might even develop a negative impression of them.
It was safer to ask about lunch, which was the most secure option!
When Da Xiong returned with two portions of lunch, he saw a crowd of people surrounding Zhou Yu.
They were all holding various lunchboxes and enthusiastically invited Zhou Yu to dine with them.
Da Xiong couldn't help but lower his head and look at the two vegetable and one meat dishes in his hands, breaking out in a sweat.
With so many delicious options in front of Zhou Yu, he probably wouldn't eat these simple cafeteria meals.
Thinking this, Da Xiong dejectedly prepared to sit on the ground.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Yu looked up and called out to him.
"Da Xiong, where's lunch?" Zhou Yu's calm voice was heard, and Da Xiong looked up in surprise.
Then, with a hint of shame, he placed the simple cafeteria meal in front of Zhou Yu.
He said with some embarrassment, "Divine Doctor Zhou, this is all they have at the cafeteria for lunch today. Perhaps..."
"Eat quickly, we still have training to continue," Zhou Yu interrupted Da Xiong.
Then he buried his head in his food.
Zhou Yu didn't even glance at the delicacies offered by the surrounding new students!
The new students around them cast envious and jealous glares at Da Xiong.
It seemed that Zhou Yu was determined to only teach Da Xiong.
After some new students clarified Zhou Yu's attitude, they began to waver.
After all, their current instructors were also competent. Although they hadn't taught them the lost martial art,
They could at least improve their combat effectiveness.
There was no need to waste time on Zhou Yu.
However, even more people chose to stay.
They felt that even if Zhou Yu didn't intend to teach them, as long as they stayed, they might learn a trick or two.
That would be enough!
Zhou Yu completely ignored this group. After finishing his lunch, he leaned against a tree to rest.
Da Xiong, on the other hand, was repeatedly reviewing the moves Zhou Yu had taught him earlier.
Just as Zhou Yu was dozing off under the afternoon sun.
A graceful figure blocked the sunlight.
Looking up, he saw that Zhao Ruyue had arrived at some point!
"Doctor... Doctor Zhao," Da Xiong felt a bit uneasy upon seeing Zhao Ruyue, stopped his movements, and greeted her awkwardly.
Zhao Ruyue nodded slightly and said to Da Xiong, "I have something to discuss with your instructor. Could you..."
Although Zhao Ruyue did not explain clearly, Da Xiong understood that she wanted him to vacate the space.
Da Xiong immediately nodded vigorously and left, casting glances back at Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu yawned and looked helplessly at Zhao Ruyue's smiling face, asking, "What do you need me for?"
"Can't I look for you if there's nothing?" Zhao Ruyue chided Zhou Yu with a playful glare and took out a thermos from behind her.
She lifted the lid.
On the top layer of the thermos, meatballs were neatly arranged.
Zhao Ruyue handed Zhou Yu a small bowl and said with a smile, "Lion's head meatballs I made today. Would you like to try some?"
Zhou Yu really wanted to refuse.
However, the lion's head meatballs were too fragrant. Before he could even utter his refusal,
His hand unconsciously reached out and took a meatball.
"Are they delicious? I heard your targeted training is very tight, and you mostly eat cafeteria food. Perhaps I could bring you lunch tomorrow?"
Zhao Ruyue's face was filled with a gentle smile.
Seeing Zhou Yu eating so heartily, she felt very satisfied!
Zhou Yu almost choked on the meatball and coughed twice, saying to Zhao Ruyue, "They are delicious, but I'm fine eating cafeteria food. You don't need to go to so much trouble."
These were clearly words of refusal, but Zhao Ruyue seemed not to understand Zhou Yu's meaning.
Her eyes curved into crescent moons as she said, "It's no trouble at all. Then I'll bring you food tomorrow."
"Da Xiong is your student now, right? Tell him he doesn't need to go to the cafeteria anymore. I'll bring a portion for him too!"
After saying this, Zhao Ruyue didn't give Zhou Yu a chance to refuse at all.
She darted away in a flash.
Zhou Yu watched Zhao Ruyue's retreating figure and could only shake his head helplessly!
With Zhao Ruyue's bold expressions, Zhou Yu was not so foolish as to not sense her intentions.
However...
Before Zhou Yu could ponder further, Da Xiong had already sneakily returned.
He looked at Zhao Ruyue's retreating back, then at the lion's head meatballs in Zhou Yu's lunchbox.
He couldn't help but swallow with envy!
"Divine Doctor Zhou, I didn't realize you had hidden talents," Da Xiong said.
Although most of the participants in the new student training were from prominent families,
They had seen all sorts of beauties.
However, Zhao Ruyue's appearance was considered rare even among beauties.
Furthermore, the new student training base was mostly populated by men, with very few women.
This made Zhao Ruyue even more eye-catching!
Many new students secretly regarded Zhao Ruyue as the most beautiful flower at the base.
However, this flower was not only bringing lunch to Zhou Yu but also spending time alone with him.
It was enough to make others green with envy!
Zhou Yu rolled his eyes at Da Xiong, "Train properly. What are you thinking about all day?"
Unfortunately, this did not diminish Da Xiong's gossip-mongering spirit.
He leaned closer to Zhou Yu and asked, "What did Doctor Zhao say just now? Why did she leave so quickly?"
"Nothing. You don't need to go to the cafeteria for food tomorrow," Zhou Yu said calmly.
Instantly, Da Xiong's face fell.
He had thought that Zhou Yu was going to accept food from other families, and he felt a pang of jealousy.
However, Zhou Yu's next words left Da Xiong with mixed emotions!
"Doctor Zhao said she would bring us lunch starting tomorrow. The cafeteria food is indeed unappetizing," Zhou Yu continued.
Now, Da Xiong didn't know whether to be jealous or happy!
He knew very well that Zhao Ruyue brought lunch primarily for Zhou Yu, fearing he wouldn't eat well.
As for bringing a portion for Da Xiong, it was merely an afterthought!
Da Xiong watched enviously as Zhou Yu ate the lion's head meatballs, but he quickly understood.
With Zhou Yu's appearance, coupled with his martial arts skills and medical expertise, it would be strange if Zhao Ruyue wasn't interested in him!
