Strong and steady.
Not like an ordinary cadet.
"Super Seminary is under military-style management. It's time for curfew. Don't wander around outside."
Her wine-red hair fell long, and her sharp eyes always carried a soldier's decisive edge. Still wearing that fitted uniform, she spoke coldly.
"Cough, cough."
MISS coughed a few times.
What was Du Qiangwei trying to do? She was standing right here, a living, breathing person!
Qiangwei shot her a sidelong glance.
Only then did she notice MISS, looking slightly startled as well. Why had she completely ignored her?
Could it be because of this... Qiangwei's heart jolted.
Yes.
She really had ignored MISS. It was like overlooking a tiny lightbulb beneath the blazing sun. Lin Yan was the dazzling sun, while MISS was the inconspicuous little bulb.
"Big... cough, cough... Lin Yan isn't familiar with the academy yet. I'm just showing him around. That doesn't seem to violate academy rules, does it?"
"Besides, Principal Ryze specifically instructed me to."
MISS invoked Principal Ryze. She knew full well that Qiangwei was Dukao's daughter, not some ordinary second-generation heir she could afford to offend.
She also had no desire to make an enemy of Dukao.
However.
If Qiangwei went too far.
"Besides, I treat Lin Yan like my own little brother. I'm his real big sister! It's only right that I take care of him!"
MISS declared firmly.
"Big sister?"
Qiangwei merely smiled and shot MISS a sideways glance before turning her gaze back to Lin Yan. "Since he'll be staying at the academy from now on, he can be considered... the family of one of my comrades."
"Goodbye, Teacher MISS."
With that said.
She turned and left.
[Ding! A new sign-in mission has been issued...]
The system's voice suddenly rang out in his mind, and Lin Yan grew curious about what the mission was.
[Please arrive at Old Guangfu Street in Tianhe City and sign in within ten minutes today. The coordinates are... You must not move from the coordinates during this period, or it will be deemed a failure. A successful sign-in will grant a reward!]
He could not move from the coordinates.
That meant staying perfectly still.
Maybe a nuclear missile would come flying over when the time came.
An Accident (Please Send Flowers)
"I... I was only..."
MISS was practically incoherent. She had blurted those words out on impulse, but now that she faced Lin Yan, she felt intimidated.
How was she supposed to explain it?
Where was he?
But when MISS turned around, she discovered that Lin Yan was already gone.
She let out a long breath.
The weight on her heart finally lifted, though she also felt a little disappointed.
MISS's tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed.
"There will be plenty of chances. He didn't clearly reject me, did he? Maybe I really can have another little brother."
Lin Yan had not merely disappeared. He had arrived somewhere else entirely.
Tianhe City, Guangfu Street.
The invasions of the alien Taotie and demons were no longer news, but Guangfu Street was far from the dark rift in the sky.
Moreover, this was Tianhe City's most prosperous street. Its shopping, leisure facilities, and public amenities were all first-rate, drawing countless visitors.
Guangfu Street was still bustling now.
Lin Yan immediately attracted plenty of attention.
"That handsome guy is so hot."
"What a handsome young man."
"He's unbelievably gorgeous."
Several love-struck women turned their eyes toward Lin Yan.
He slightly activated Heart Net, instantly spreading it outward.
Those people acted as though they could not see Lin Yan at all.
Of course.
This was practically the weakest possible level of Heart Net.
If its intensity were any greater, pedestrians on the street would collapse one after another. Those with weak constitutions would die on the spot, potentially causing even more deaths over a wider area.
This was a shopping street.
The coordinates in Lin Yan's mind guided him to the correct location, where there happened to be a bench.
