Chapter 4

Jiangnan City, September 1

"Good morning, Xiao Chen!"

Just as Su Chen was about to close the door of the room, a familiar voice was heard from the corridor.

His reaction was almost instinctive, and without even turning his head back, he grabbed the other party's hand that was trying to touch his head. It was as fluent as he had practiced this action countless times before.

"Xiao Ye Zi, how many times have I told you that a man's head is like a girl's feet that you cannot touch at will?"

He pulled out the key, turned around, and gave a look of disapproval to the girl in front of him. In response to this, the girl only stuck out her tongue in a playful manner.

The girl has delicate features, a ponytail, and a pair of big, watery eyes that stand out, revealing an indescribable agility.

She is the kind of energetic girl who makes people feel better at a glance. And her name is Luo Xiaoye. She is Su Chen's childhood sweetheart and lives on the floor above the building.

It is said that girls change a lot when they grow up. He never expected that the little girl who could run around with a lollipop when she was a child would grow into a bright and charming girl next door. Although Su Chen changed a lot after that accident 10 years ago and his personality became a little quieter, when facing this girl, he still showed all his youthful vigor.

After hearing Su Chen's words, Lu Xiaoye not only did not reflect on herself, but instead, she rolled her eyes, like she was thinking of some clever idea.

"Xiao Chen, are you hinting at me that you want to touch my feet?"

Su Chen: "..."

Su Chen became speechless for a while, and he looked at the quirky Lu Xiaoye; he didn't expect that she would say such explicit words. After a moment of surprise, he let go of her wrist, fearing that he would be misunderstood by the neighbors who were getting up early to go to work.

Then he turned around and started walking towards the corridor of the residential building. Seeing this, she also hurriedly followed him.

"Don't go, don't go; you haven't answered my question yet!"

"Don't follow me. I'm afraid people will misunderstand me."

"Hehe, you don't even dare to look me in the face; you are not secretly in love with me, right?"

"As long as you are happy."

Su Chen speechlessly looked at the Light Xiaoye, who was smiling.

....................

Jiangnan No. 1 High School, at the school gate.

"Xiao Chen, what have you been playing all this time? I see you've been playing all the way."

Lu Xiaoye looked down at Su Chen's phone, looking very curious.

Although they were childhood sweethearts, Su Chen was not going to tell anyone else about "Cultivation of Immortality.".

So he replied calmly, "It's a stand-alone game to kill time."

"You're already in your third year of high school; do you still have time to play games?"

"This is one of my ways of practicing."

Hearing this, she shook her head contemptuously. As her head moved, her smooth black ponytail was also swaying.

"Xiao Chen, I'm not saying anything bad about you; you can lie to others, but don't lie to yourself."

"If you fool yourself like this, then you won't be able to laugh during the college entrance examination."

Su Chen looked at Lu Xiaoye, who had a smirk on her face; he knew that she was taking advantage of the situation to deliberately "hit" him.

So he put away his phone and said expressionlessly, "Well, what you said makes sense, but I suddenly remembered that when someone was six years old and came out after wetting her quilt, she seemed to have said that accidentally knocking over a water cup."

"But what decent child would drink water in bed? There are some things that you can lie to others about, but if you..."

"ah!!!"

Seeing that Su Chen was about to talk about her dark history, Lu Xiaoye quickly covered his mouth with her hands and suppressed him with her chest. Su Chen continued to struggle, trying to fight back hard and regain his strength. The two of them started pulling each other back and forth at the school gate.

On the one hand, you want to talk about the other person's dark history, but on the other hand, you don't want the other person to talk about it. Hurting each other is the eternal theme between childhood sweethearts.

However, the tug-of-war between these "friends" took on a completely different meaning in the eyes of other students around them. You should know that Lu Xiaoye is not only outstanding in appearance but also a student in the Heaven Dao class of No. 1 High School, and she is extremely popular.

And what about Su Chen? He has average talent with an average family background, and his cultivation level is also at the bottom level, even in the human dao class. Only a good thing he has his handsome appearance, but can look good be used to make a living? At least most people think not.

After all, in the world of cultivation, strength is the king. Therefore, in the eyes of many people, there is a very big gap between Su Chen and Lu Xiaoye, and they shouldn't be together. But looking at their intimacy as if there was no one around them, some of the people were envious to the point of feeling jealous, while some of them were filled with hatred as if someone had stabbed them in their hearts.

The person who hated him so much was Lu Xiaoye's classmate in the Heaven Dao class—Chen Li.

"Student Lu, why are you still hanging out with this rubbish from the Human Dao Class? Be careful; he might lead you astray."

Su Chen and Lu Xiaoye, who were playing, stopped immediately and turned to look in the direction of the sound.
