Picnic Incident

Xilin was finally discharged from the hospital with Mo Heng's approval, for which he had written a ten-thousand-word self-criticism that was both moving and incisive. However, throughout the entire ten-thousand-word self-criticism, there wasn't a single sentence like "I won't do it again..." that Mo Heng truly wanted to see.

In Mo Heng's words, Xilin was like a machine missing a core component, a piece of trash!

However, even though the self-criticism was trashy, Mo Heng still framed it and hung it in his office. Every time Xilin went to submit a mission, Mo Heng would point at the self-criticism on the wall and... well, that's a story for another time.

When Xilin returned to the dormitory after being discharged, the door closed behind him as soon as he entered. In the living room, three people sat on three chairs, arranged in a posture of interrogation. The three people, who were usually too busy to return to the dormitory, were all there.

Ci Jincheng fiddled with the control panel in his hand, estimating that if Xilin tried to run now, he would be attacked by some unknown substance. Knight stretched his wrists, his fingers clicking as he flexed them. Long smiled with extreme cunning.

"Confess and be treated leniently, resist and be stripped and paraded. Choose one!"

Xilin looked at the three of them, calmly dragged over a chair, and sat down facing them: "I choose C."

"You bastard!"

The three of them rushed forward and pinned Xilin down, choking him.

"Hurry up, what's your relationship with Sha Meiren?!"

"Sha Meiren's supporters have come looking for you. Look, they even threw rotten eggs!" Long pointed to a yellow stain on the window and complained.

Bullshit, who would dare bully you in Qiyao? That was you trying to fry eggs and throwing one out yourself, and it still had oil on it. Don't think I don't know!

"Go easy, my neck will break if you keep choking me. I'll talk, I'll talk."

Finally freed from their grip, Xilin caught his breath and explained the "cause and effect."

After a while, Knight asked suspiciously, "Is it really just because Professor Mo and Professor Lin knew you?"

"If you don't believe me, go ask her."

Long looked thoughtful: "So, you're taking advantage of your proximity? Perfect timing, location, and people. If you still can't win her over, you're too much of a coward."

Knight also leaned in mysteriously: "In those five minutes, what did you... do?"

"Chatted."

"Anything else?"

"Still chatting."

After carefully discerning Xilin's facial expression, the three were disappointed: "What a talent!"

When the students on the Qiyao forum dug up Xilin's background, some people did indeed back down.

In terms of looks, Xilin was indeed not bad. His demeanor alone was enough to make people's eyes light up. In terms of background, he was from the Daongs Family, and his father, Aifulan, was currently on the rise, with the position of heir not far off. When that time came, he would be the crown prince of the Daongs Family. Apart from certain forces in the ABC Three Star Zones, there were very few who could surpass the Daongs Family. In terms of talent, he studied under Old Master Mo, and one couldn't be Old Master Mo's disciple without some ability. In terms of strength, that was even less to mention. He had fought and eliminated rats, and his personal combat ranking was in the top five of the Training Department. How could anyone compare?

Therefore, more people leaned towards watching the show and gossiping.

The next day, Xilin grabbed his Flying Skateboard and prepared to head out.

The three people eating breakfast looked over simultaneously. "It's the weekend today, no classes."

"I'm treating Teresa to a meal today," Xilin said quite frankly.

"Damn!"

"Crap!"

"Scumbag!"

As soon as Xilin left the dorm, the three of them brought out a pile of Tools.

"Signal reception normal."

"Adjust the satellite surveillance."

"This time, let's see how that guy Xilin managed to hook up with the beauty."

Xilin knew the three scumbags in his dorm wouldn't be idle, but he wasn't planning on hiding either. After buying some things along the way, Xilin arrived at a patch of woods outside the Teaching Zone, the spot he'd arranged to meet Teresa. Teresa was already waiting there, still dressed elegantly, blending in with the surrounding scenery in a remarkably harmonious way.

"Sorry to keep you waiting," Xilin said, putting away his Flying Skateboard and taking out the food he'd just bought.

"It's fine, I came early on purpose."

Choosing to have a picnic in the woods instead of going to a restaurant surprised many people.

Why many people? Besides the three jerks in Xilin's dorm, even more people were tracking Teresa. However, whether viewed from a satellite or through a telescope from afar, the dense woods were their biggest obstacle. Even with a penetration scanner, they couldn't get a clear view, so they could only see the two of them sitting there, watching the stream flow by, eating their picnic, and seemingly chatting happily...

Quite a few photos had already surfaced on the Seven Luminaries Forum. Although obscured by large leaves, the sight of the two people sitting by the stream was enough to spark the imagination.

In Xilin's dorm, Long complained incessantly, "That guy Xilin is really cunning, going to such a remote place!"

"The images are blocked by leaves."

"We really should have installed a listening device on him."

Of course, Long was just saying that. They all knew there were limits. Besides, the tracker was something Ci Jincheng had openly placed in Xilin's bag, and Xilin hadn't said anything, proving he wasn't hiding his whereabouts at all.

"They must be talking about a beautiful life and a romantic future."

Many people thought so, but in reality, the topic Xilin and Teresa were discussing had nothing to do with romance.

"Because this incident dealt a significant blow to the opponent, Mr. Daongs Aifulan paid triple the reward. I believe the next two months won't be any less," Teresa said.

"My mentor, Professor Mo, made a move?"

"Not only that, your three roommates made a move. The military, business, politics, and the Academic World have all exerted some pressure. I heard that assassin organization is also wanted, and they're currently thinking about revenge on their backer."

Xilin smiled upon hearing this, remaining silent.

"Although the multi-pronged suppression will make those people restrain themselves a bit, Mr. Aifulan asked me to give you a message: some people from the Daongs family might take the opportunity to make a move. This way, they can frame those unlucky individuals. So, you need to be careful recently. However, I think Mr. Aifulan is worrying too much. With your abilities, dealing with these characters is absolutely no problem."

"You really think highly of me." Xilin turned his head to look at the stream.

Unlike the purely artificial streams on Brown Earth Star, this place had a natural beauty. Beneath a certain rock, there was even a crab. When he was young, he often went to streams further away from the slums with Hena. But there was nothing there except rocks and water. Hena had said that such streams lacked life. If one day they could see a vibrant stream like those on television, full of all sorts of small fish, shrimp, and crabs, it would be very happy.

Xilin touched the pendant hanging on his chest inside his clothes. "Did you see it, Hena? There are crabs here. This stream is alive. We'll see more and more lively streams in the future."

"Who are you thinking about?" Teresa asked. In that moment, the gentleness in Xilin's eyes seemed capable of drowning someone.

"Thinking about crabs," Xilin stretched. "Is there anything else?"

"No, I'll tell you when I receive any news in the future."

"Just remember the payment."

"You'll definitely get that. That's all for today's meeting. I can see you're impatient. Before I leave, a farewell kiss." After speaking, Teresa leaned towards Xilin.

On the screens of many Seven Radiance Academy students, they saw the beautiful Sha Meiren leaning towards Xilin, the two getting closer and closer, and then...

Swish! Leaves blocked the view!

Long pointed at the leaves blocking the screen and said indignantly, "Whoever cuts down that damn tree, I'll give them a hundred million!"

At the same time, in another dormitory, Linglong crushed the fifth Microcomputer of the day.

Everyone knew the two had kissed, but did they really kiss? Yes. However... it was just on the cheek. Teresa only kissed Xilin's cheek, but due to the leaves, everyone assumed the worst.

Teresa had a good grasp of angles, knowing where surveillance might be located.

After tidying up the things on the ground, Xilin took out his Flying Skateboard. Teresa pressed a button on the key, and a flying car flew up from not far away. Its color changed from green to white, having used a camouflage color before.

"Want a ride?" Teresa asked as she got into the car.

"No, thanks. Pleasant cooperation, and remember the payment."

"Pleasant cooperation."

They departed in two different directions. However, Xilin flew along the stream for a while longer, but not many people paid attention to him anymore. Knight and the others also opened the forum to check posts. The entire Seven Radiance forum was filled with hot topics about Xilin and Teresa, with pictures and "truth."

As soon as Xilin entered the dormitory, Knight and Long abandoned their Microcomputers and rushed over.

"Kid, hurry up and tell us about that crucial part today... Damn, crabs, where did you get crabs? They're so fresh!" Knight and Long didn't care about the picnic kiss incident anymore, both rubbing their hands around a large bag of crabs.

Ci Jincheng: "..." These two gluttons!

That night, while everyone else at Seven Radiance was spitting saliva over the forum, the four people in Xilin's dormitory were happily eating crabs around the table.

The next event is coming soon, friends, please support!
