Women's shopping prowess is truly unimaginable; they almost never stop shopping, and you can't even see the slightest sign of fatigue on their faces.
Under the dim streetlights, Huo Yuhao and Zhou Yi sat side by side on a bench, neither of them speaking, but their hands kept bumping together from time to time.
At least two hours have passed since they got off the bus, but Huo Yuhao couldn't see the slightest bit of fatigue on Zhou Yi's face.
" Yuhao, let's go take a look over there."
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhou Yi got up and ran to the other side, her graceful figure appearing even more beautiful under the lamplight.
Especially when Zhou Yi turned around and stopped to smile at Huo Yuhao, even this small scene seemed like something out of a dream.
I searched for him a thousand times in the crowd, but suddenly when I turned around, there he was, in the dim light.
Zhou Yi looked more beautiful than ever before; every smile and frown exuded a relaxed and carefree feeling, a natural beauty.
However, beneath that happy smile lay a faint trace of sadness.
Huo Yuhao turned to Zhou Yi and said calmly, " Sister Little Zhou, you seem to be hiding something."
Zhou Yi continued to smile and replied, " Yuhao, what are you saying? I'm very happy right now. I don't have anything on my mind."
Huo Yuhao remained expressionless, repeating the same words, " Sister Little Zhou, you seem to have something on your mind."
Zhou Yi stared into Huo Yuhao's eyes for a full five seconds before forcing a smile and saying, " Yuhao, I really don't have anything on my mind. If I had something on my mind, I would have told you already."
Huo Yuhao then added, " Sister Little Zhou's worries are about matters of the heart."
Zhou Yi was a little flustered, but quickly regained her composure. " Yuhao, don't joke around. What could possibly be on my mind about our relationship?"
Huo Yuhao shook his head and said, " Sister Little Zhou, it's not 'us,' it's you and him."
"Him?... Who?... Who is he?" Zhou Yi became even more flustered after Huo Yuhao spoke.
Huo Yuhao turned to look in Shrek's direction and continued, " Sister Little Zhou, love is the hardest thing to grasp. But since you don't love anymore, you shouldn't choose to run away, but face it and make things clear."
At this moment, Zhou Yi knew that Huo Yuhao probably already knew everything. Although she didn't know how Huo Yuhao knew, what Huo Yuhao said was indeed correct.
Seeing that Zhou Yi remained silent, Huo Yuhao continued, as if talking to himself, " Sister Little Zhou, actually you wanted me to go with you, but you just couldn't find the opportunity to say it. Do you think I'm right?"
Zhou Yi could no longer hold back. She suddenly squatted down, tears welling in her eyes. " Yuhao, I... I really don't know what to do. Waaaaah..."
Under the dim streetlights, a beautiful woman sheds tears.
Huo Yuhao slowly walked to Zhou Yi's side and gently patted his back, offering him the greatest comfort.
"Waaaaah..."
Zhou Yi could no longer hold back and threw herself into Huo Yuhao's arms, crying with tears streaming down her face. All the bitterness and grievances of the past few days turned into tears at this moment.
Zhou Yi cried for a full quarter of an hour before her sobs gradually subsided.
Only then did she realize how out of control she had been. Not only had she cried, but she had also buried her face in her student's arms and cried. If someone she knew had seen this, she would have been pointed at and gossiped about.
She would only truly feel guilty if she implicated Huo Yuhao.
Zhou Yi quickly straightened up, leaving Huo Yuhao's embrace, and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, saying, " Yuhao, I'm sorry, I lost my composure."
Huo Yuhao waved his hand and said, " Sister Little Zhou, it's okay. You can only let go after you've cried it out, right?"
When Zhou Yi saw that Huo Yuhao's chest was already soaked, her pretty face turned even redder.
" Yuhao, you're right, so would you be willing to come with me again?"
Zhou Yi spoke with an almost pleading tone, a few tears glistening in the corners of her eyes, looking utterly pitiful.
Seeing her like this, Huo Yuhao had no chance to refuse and could only nod in agreement.
Zhou Yi stood up, looked at Huo Yuhao's handsome face, and couldn't help but say, " Yuhao, thank you. If I weren't so much older than you, I would definitely marry you."
Huo Yuhao's lips twitched involuntarily as he said, " Sister Little Zhou, you must be joking... hahahaha"
Zhou Yi realized she had been too abrupt, but she pretended not to hear Huo Yuhao's words, only muttering softly, "Who's joking with you..."
The two boarded the Soul Guidance Train back to the academy in an awkward atmosphere, and neither of them spoke a word the entire way.
About fifteen minutes later, the two returned to the Shrek Academy.
Because it was already evening, few students at the Shrek Academy were out and about.
If we're talking about lively places, the only ones left are the Soul Fighting Arena within the academy and the food street next to it.
Of course, the grove of trees by Sea God Lake is an exception; it's not just lively, it's breathtaking.
Every student who passed by blushed and quickly left.
Zhou Yi was no exception. Hearing the undisguised cries from the grove, she blushed and quickly pulled Huo Yuhao away from the vicinity.
As the sound faded, the two left the Sea God Lake.
Zhou Yi turned to look in that direction, naturally knowing what had happened. She could only curse under her breath, then weakly said, "It seems... we'll have to increase Shrek's patrols in the future. This... this is too outrageous... a bit too outrageous..."
Huo Yuhao unconsciously leaned closer and reminded her, " Sister Little Zhou, don't forget, you're a teacher. Why don't you go and remind them?"
Zhou Yi sensed Huo Yuhao's ill intentions and spat, "Go if you want to. You young people should focus on cultivation."
Huo Yuhao felt wronged. "But I didn't say anything!"
"No! And then again!"
Helpless, Huo Yuhao had no choice but to follow Zhou Yi toward the Shrek Academy's Soul Tool Department.
The Soul Tool Department is located at the other end of the Shrek Academy; it takes some time to walk there.
Under the quiet, dim streetlights, two long shadows stretched out, sometimes separating, sometimes merging, much like a young couple just starting out in love.
Watching the shadows on the ground, Zhou Yi was having a great time. Finally, when she got close to the Soul Tool Department, Zhou Yi finally reverted to her usual stern demeanor.
Huo Yuhao hadn't been here since enrolling, so he could only quietly follow along.
By the moonlight, the two quickly arrived at a square.
Ahead, the Soul Tool Department's teaching building, which resembled a factory, was brightly lit, and the cheers of students could be faintly heard.
Just as the two were stunned, a honest voice rang out from behind them.
"Master's wife? Little Brother Huo? What brings you here?"
