Heartbreak for Tang San!

Early in the morning, Tang San rose early, preparing to head to the academy gate to meet Yu Xiaogang before setting off for the Soul Hunting Forest together.

After getting up, he cast an envious glance at Zhang Tianyu and Xiao Wu, who were sleeping in the same bed, before leaving the dormitory with a dejected expression.

Three days ago.

After Zhang Tianyu and the others returned to the dormitory, finished chatting with Tang San, and secured his favor, Xiao Wu, who had been quiet until then, finally reached out and tugged at Zhang Tianyu's sleeve.

Zhang Tianyu turned back to look at her: "What's up?"

Xiao Wu blinked her large, adorable eyes, looking completely innocent: "Did you forget something?"

"Huh? What thing?" Zhang Tianyu asked in confusion.

Xiao Wu pointed to the empty wooden bed beside them: "Don't tell me you're planning to sleep on the wooden planks tonight?"

"Oh, right!" Zhang Tianyu slapped his forehead: "Alright, you guys get some rest, we're going out to buy bedding."

"Got it, Boss," Wang Sheng replied immediately, "Do you need me to show you the way?"

"No need, we'll just wander around while we're at it," Xiao Wu said.

"Understood, Sister Xiao Wu."

Although Xiao Wu was no longer the boss, her strength was still there, so calling her Sister Xiao Wu was perfectly fine.

Watching Zhang Tianyu and Xiao Wu leave the dormitory side by side, Tang San felt a sudden, inexplicable tightness in his chest.

It was a strange, stifling sensation, as if he were struggling to breathe.

What is wrong with me? Tang San wondered to himself, Why do I feel so uncomfortable for no reason?

"Looking at them like that, Boss and Sister Xiao Wu are a perfect match!" a boy nearby suddenly remarked.

This single sentence opened the floodgates for everyone else.

"Yeah, the boss is strong and handsome."

"Sister Xiao Wu is also very strong and cute."

"If that's not a perfect match, what is?"

"And just now when Brother Sheng asked if they needed a guide, Sister Xiao Wu said no. Do you think they're going on a date?"

"Wow! That's actually possible!"

"How exciting! Going on a date on the very first day!"

"I say, why are you all so precocious? How old are you guys? Already discussing things like this?" Wang Sheng asked with a laugh.

"What's inappropriate about it? My dad had me when he was fourteen," one boy said, "Calculating by their ages, that's only eight years away. Eight years is nothing, it'll pass in the blink of an eye."

"My dad is even more impressive, he made me when he was thirteen!" another boy chimed in.

"My dad was twelve!"

"My dad was ten!"

Everyone immediately turned to look at the boy with the ten-year-old father. Wang Sheng said: "Ten? Good grief, didn't your grandfather beat your dad to death? You can't just brag like that!"

The group burst into laughter.

Listening to their laughter, Tang San felt even more stifled.

The two of them went on a date? Is it really that fast?

Thinking of Zhang Tianyu's looks, he felt even more discouraged.

No matter how strong-willed or hardworking he was, there was one thing he couldn't change: his appearance.

He was truly ordinary, far too ordinary!

He didn't know why he had been born so plain in this life!

In his previous life in the martial arts world, he hadn't been this ugly at six years old; he had already been quite the handsome young lad!

Looking at this life, damn it, it was unbearable to look at; he was as plain as a blade of grass on the roadside!

Thinking of this, and then thinking of his Blue Silver Grass martial soul, Tang San fell silent, only able to sigh in his heart.

An hour later.

Zhang Tianyu and Xiao Wu returned to the dormitory with a set of bedding.

"Boss, Sister Xiao Wu, you're back!" Wang Sheng and the others greeted them immediately.

"Uh, Boss, how come you only bought one set of bedding?" one boy asked.

Zhang Tianyu shrugged helplessly: "Can't be helped, the money I had was only enough for one set."

Xiao Wu stuck out her tongue in embarrassment: "Yeah, it's all my fault for picking such an expensive one."

"It's something to cover yourself with, of course you have to pick a good one," Zhang Tianyu laughed, "Don't blame yourself."

Yeah, actually, I'm the one who should be blaming myself, because I had enough money to buy two sets.

But if I buy two sets, how am I supposed to share the covers with you?

So, Heavens, forgive this lecherous soul!

"Hey, Boss, you should've just said so!" Wang Sheng immediately chimed in. "I've got money, I can lend it to you first—"

Whoosh!

Before he could even finish his sentence, a chill instantly permeated his entire body.

He looked up to see Zhang Tianyu wearing a half-smile as he said, "Forget it. I'm the boss, after all; how could I be embarrassed enough to borrow money from you guys?"

Gulp!

Wang Sheng swallowed hard. "The boss is right."

The boss's gaze is so terrifying! So scary!

Why did he suddenly look at me with such a horrifying expression? Wang Sheng was completely baffled!

"But now there's a problem," Xiao Wu said. "There's only one set of bedding, so how are we going to use it?"

"Then you'll have to use it first," Zhang Tianyu said. "You're a girl, and I'm the boss. Do you really think I'd let you freeze?"

After saying this, Zhang Tianyu placed the bedding on an empty bed.

Just then, Xiao Wu suddenly bit her lip, as if she had made up her mind about something. She walked over to Zhang Tianyu and said, "Let's... let's use it together."

"Hm?" Zhang Tianyu was stunned.

"Look, this bedding is actually quite large; it's enough for both of us," Xiao Wu said, her expression quickly returning to normal as she spoke quite naturally. "So, we might as well just use it together."

Everyone was stunned.

Tang San, however, felt his entire body jolt!

Ah!

No!

My heart feels inexplicably more blocked! More uncomfortable! What... what is happening to me?!

Zhang Tianyu thought for a moment and said, "Hmm, are you sure?"

"Of course. You're strong, so hurry up and push that empty bed over here. Put them together and lay out the bedding," Xiao Wu said, her face slightly flushed as she gave Zhang Tianyu a nudge. "Go on, go on."

"Alright then." Zhang Tianyu shrugged.

Wang Sheng understood in an instant!

Oh!

So that's how it is!

Boss, I've reached enlightenment!

"Boss, let me help you push!"

The two beds were soon pushed together, and the bedding was laid out.

Xiao Wu nodded in satisfaction and smiled. "See? Isn't this perfect?"

Then, she placed her only piece of luggage, that little bag, right on the seam where the two beds met and said, "There, this is the boundary line. You aren't allowed to cross it, or else I'll..."

Zhang Tianyu blinked. Or else you'll what? Say it, little sister!

Xiao Wu's face turned a shade of red so faint it was almost imperceptible, and she raised her little fist and shook it. "Do you understand?"

"Understood." Zhang Tianyu raised both hands.

Watching the interaction between the two, the people in the dormitory began winking and nudging each other.

Meanwhile, Tang San, who had remained silent the whole time, began to tremble.

Ah! My heart feels so uncomfortable!

Why does it hurt so much!

My heart is in pain!
