When the Protagonist Met a Supporting Character (Revised)
After searching for some information on the computer, Guan Yuan put on his clothes and jumped around eagerly. He felt a powerful burst of energy within his body. With a push of his feet, he uncontrollably shot upwards, his head hitting the ceiling.
Guan Yuan fell down in pain, rubbing his head as he sat on the ground. The pain quickly subsided, and he was pleasantly surprised by his jumping ability. If he played basketball, dunking should be a piece of cake, right?
In fact, before returning to her dormitory, Guan Yuan had already discovered the changes in her body in the Mount Lu Valley and had also conducted some simple tests.
What exactly is going on? Was my genetic sequence altered by some magical virus and I evolved directly? Or did I gain some kind of super cheat code like a "system"? But so far, there haven't been any dialog boxes, sounds, or control panels.
At first Guan Yuan was worried about his health, but so far he felt strong and superior, as if he were a higher being looking down on a lower being. Guan Yuan gradually realized that even if he went to the hospital now, it might not be able to give him the answers to his doubts... He was more afraid that his body was being used for human research. Even though living subjects are the most precious, and he wouldn't be dissected, who would want to be studied? Losing freedom, being monitored, having to cooperate at any time, and not even knowing how he would be treated— Guan Yuan was very clear that he couldn't go to the hospital.
Guan Yuan has always been a very mature and steady young man, and he firmly believes in the positive role that his character and personality play in his life.
But what about the upcoming physical exam? That's the biggest problem right now. Will the exam reveal my secret? Even though I know it's just a simple test, are my blood, excrement, and other bodily components completely different from those of a normal person?
Guan Yuan thought for a moment, but couldn't come up with a solution. He opened an app on his phone and started reading an urban military novel. His physical strength was roughly the same as that of an extremely physically powerful soldier in this modern setting. He decided to see how they lived... Guan Yuan didn't think his approach was unreliable; after all, given his situation, who could give him guidance?
Guan Yuan was so engrossed in watching that she didn't snap out of it until Qi Zhengdao called again, at which point she prepared to go to military training.
Guan Yuan returned on his own, and the so-called disappearance naturally vanished. Liu Chang'an was not involved in any trouble as a "criminal suspect," but Bai Hui still believed that her worries were justified. Liu Chang'an was biting the hand that fed him, not recognizing a kind heart.
"I'm sorry about what happened last night." Guan Yuan exuded a completely different aura as he spoke calmly to Bai Hui.
"It's alright, we're all classmates, it's good that you're okay." Bai Hui nodded; she didn't notice anything different about Guan Yuan.
"You have no idea what I've been through." Guan Yuan's lips curled slightly, his gaze deep. "I hope I can remember this moment of peace in the future."
"Crazy?" Bai Hui looked at Guan Yuan suspiciously, then turned and left. She checked her phone. Although she had notified Liu Chang'an immediately to tell him that Guan Yuan was alright, there was no doubt that Liu Chang'an either hadn't read the message, thought it had nothing to do with him, or simply didn't want to talk to her. Bai Hui hummed as she thought of three possibilities: this time it was because he had something important to do, and he definitely wouldn't talk to her again in the future.
Liu Chang'an simply hadn't seen the message. During the afternoon military training, Zhu Juntang, who had asked for leave to be exempted from the training, actually came to see her classmate who was training. She had someone set up a parasol and a recliner for her, and she leaned back on the recliner. Zhong Qing took a bottle of bubbly soda from the small refrigerator and poured her a glass. She was very relaxed and at ease.
Soon, Zhu Juntang was taken away by Qin Yanan. Undoubtedly, everyone was aware of the existence of privilege, but students were not very tolerant of unfair privilege. Zhu Juntang obviously did not understand this, or was used to not caring about other people's aversion to privilege.
After the afternoon dismissal, Wei Xuanyi called Liu Chang'an over.
"Yan Qingcheng and I discussed it and decided to organize a night trip to Lushan Mount Lu for our classmates." Wei Xuanyi, newly appointed to his post, also wanted to do something to demonstrate his organizational skills.
"That's good." Liu Chang'an nodded.
"Let's go together. You're a local, so you can explain the scenic spots and historical sites of Mount Lu to everyone... Didn't the counselor say that Mount Lu is a place where loyal bones are buried everywhere? Let everyone learn about it; it's also a patriotic education activity." Wei Xuanyi said, pointing to Mount Lu behind them.
Liu Chang'an didn't want to go at first, but he nodded anyway.
This was a voluntary activity. Although everyone wanted to avoid appearing unsociable at the beginning of the semester and preferred to participate in team activities, after a day of military training, only about a dozen people still had the energy and motivation to participate in the activities organized by Wei Xuanyi and Yan Qingcheng.
Zhu Juntang was also among those who signed up to participate.
After the news of Zhu Juntang's participation spread, the number of participants increased to about twenty. There is no doubt that the secretion of hormones can bring stronger mental and physical motivation.
After agreeing on a meeting time at the entrance of the scenic area at the foot of Mount Lu, Liu Chang'an went to eat first. Zhu Juntang, who came out of Qin Yanan's office, asked to go to the cafeteria with Liu Chang'an to experience it.
Liu Chang'an didn't go to the cafeteria in the student dormitory, but to another cafeteria nearby. Zhu Juntang followed behind Liu Chang'an, watching him get his food.
"Why didn't you ask me why I wasn't eating?" Liu Chang'an sat down, while Zhu Juntang stood to the side, not sitting down. The tables and chairs in the cafeteria all had a shiny, greasy feel to them; even a fairy's dress exuded an ethereal aura, how could she sit down in such a place?
"Because it's none of my business." Liu Chang'an looked at his meat dish. Fortunately, there were actually a few pieces of meat. Not bad, he was satisfied.
"Then hurry up and finish eating." Zhu Juntang was dissatisfied with Liu Chang'an's slow and leisurely way of eating rice. She was only there to experience it for the time being. Zhu Juntang rarely ate out, and her pampered stomach was easily upset by anything that was slightly unclean or not fresh enough.
Although Zhu Juntang was unwilling to admit it, even fairies get diarrhea.
"I just like to eat slowly." Liu Chang'an didn't care about Zhu Juntang's request at all, neither speeding up nor deliberately slowing down.
"You can eat slowly. I'm going to find Yaya to play. See you later." Zhu Juntang was just here to take a look. She planned to leave after she was done. There was no way to eat or sit here, so it was really boring.
As soon as Zhu Juntang turned around, she saw a boy with slightly messy, damp hair and deep eyes walking over. He glanced at Zhu Juntang, a playful smile appearing on his lips, and then looked at Liu Chang'an.
