On the way back to the guesthouse, Qin Siyang happened to see Wen Shu walking from the library toward the guesthouse.
Qin Siyang went up to greet her, "What a coincidence, you're coming back from the library."
"Mm. I go back to my room at this time every day and eat dinner with Grandma. What about you?"
"Me? I never have a fixed schedule. I go back whenever I finish whatever I'm doing."
"Then how do you deal with your three meals a day?"
"Three meals a day?"
Running around outside from morning to night, how could he still pay attention to three meals.
Qin Siyang thought carefully. He had already gotten used to this kind of life without fixed meals or fixed times.
And even if he ate one or two meals less, he wouldn't feel very hungry.
It seemed his body had gone through some kind of physical change.
No need to say it, it must be because of the awakened sequence and the rise in sequence level.
Qin Siyang continued, "Usually I just eat whenever I remember to. But now my body isn't much affected by meal times or ingredients anymore, probably because of the sequence ability. Wen Shu, you should feel the same, right?"
Wen Shu nodded, "That's true. But I'm already used to three regular meals, and I still have Grandma to take care of, so I keep to a schedule."
"Yeah, you have family to take care of, so eating regularly is right. I'm different. I only have myself to worry about, so naturally I don't have that many constraints. So it's good, you don't need to worry too much."
"Mm, that makes sense."
Qin Siyang also noticed that Wen Shu was carrying two books in her arms.
"You still study when you get home? Isn't it tiring?"
"It doesn't feel tiring. Because it isn't really studying, it's just reading things I'm interested in. You could even say it's a kind of enjoyment."
Qin Siyang curled his lips, "Reading is enjoyment… I really can't enjoy that."
"By the way, when I went back at noon, I saw your roommate moving to the next room, 1004."
"Yeah, I arranged that. Now the room is free, no need for us to squeeze together. It wasn't convenient to talk or do anything."
"What you arranged sounds great. Oh right, tomorrow I'm going to United Government Academy to see what the campus I'll be studying in looks like."
"Want me to go with you?"
"No. You're so busy, you should focus on your own things. Gu Yunxuan is going with me, she's enrolling in United Government Academy too. And United Government Academy and South Glory University are only two streets apart, very close, there won't be any problem."
Qin Siyang still felt uneasy, "But last time that Han regiment tried to switch your exam papers, I'm still worried. If you leave school so suddenly, will you run into trouble?"
"Actually, the safest way for me is to stay far away from you. Without you, those Han regiment people wouldn't come make trouble for me."
Qin Siyang paused for a moment, a strange panic in his heart, "Uh… then you…"
Wen Shu smiled, two dimples showing at the corners of her mouth, "But I'm eating your food and living in your place. How am I supposed to keep distance from you now?"
"This…", Qin Siyang scratched his cheek and didn't say anything more.
"Don't worry. We're just walking on the main street and then wandering around campus. It's very safe."
Qin Siyang thought about it. The street was brightly lit, and except for the Yamamoto brothers, who had been wanted criminals for years, no one would dare make a move here.
Plus Wen Shu's own strength was a mystery. Any danger would probably struggle to reach her.
"Alright. Then go early and come back early. Oh, if you don't like Gu Yunxuan, just keep your distance from her. I can explain to Gu Yunpeng and Zhao Sifang."
"I'm not familiar with her, so there's no liking or disliking," Wen Shu smiled lightly, "But I can tell she's close to your circle. So I'll treat it as making a friend and spend some time seeing how things go."
After hearing this, Qin Siyang fell silent.
He always felt that Wen Shu's words carried hidden meaning, showing hints of affection for him now and then.
This soft, gentle feeling was unfamiliar to Qin Siyang, a little delightful, yet he worried he was imagining it.
The two separated in the hallway and each went into their own room.
———
Sitting on the sofa, looking at the empty room, Qin Siyang replayed every word exchanged with Wen Shu just now, unable to stop himself from feeling happy all over again.
Just as he was smiling with joy, the door was suddenly hammered violently with loud bangs.
Qin Siyang shot up from the sofa instantly, entering high alert.
This was the guesthouse of South Glory University.
In all of South Glory, even Zhao Longfei wouldn't be this rude to him.
He popped a piece of candy into his mouth, his gaze sharp.
Whoever was coming wasn't friendly.
Qin Siyang tried asking, "Who is it?"
"Chu Baxing! Open up!"
'Chu Baxing?'
Qin Siyang had planned to open the door right away, but after thinking for a moment, he decided to put a few more candies in his mouth before opening it.
He opened the door and saw Chu Baxing's icy expression.
Then, pretending not to know, he asked, "Chu Baxing, what are you here for?"
Chu Baxing's face was full of killing intent, but he clearly had no intention of chatting with Qin Siyang.
He simply said, short and direct, "Come with me to the battle arena."
"To the battle arena? For what? You want to spar with me?"
"A duel. One of us must die today."
Chu Baxing's firm tone hit the ground like iron, allowing no acceptance or refusal from Qin Siyang.
His eyes shot out cold light that landed on Qin Siyang's body, making him feel a chill.
As someone who occasionally had to kill under pressure, Qin Siyang could clearly sense the thick murderous intent coming off Chu Baxing.
Qin Siyang let out a small sigh.
Chu Baxing, this legion prince, was rumored to have killed countless gods, but Qin Siyang felt he probably hadn't killed few humans either.
Normally Qin Siyang joked around, but he understood clearly that he definitely couldn't fight Chu Baxing in a life-or-death battle.
First, he wasn't sure he could win one hundred percent. Losing meant death. And although Qin Siyang was the type to risk his life, he didn't want to die because of an unnecessary fight.
Second, even if he won and killed Chu Baxing, he'd still cause huge trouble. The Chu Legion wouldn't let him go, and even the Zhao family might not be able to protect him.
Take another step back: if Chu Baxing didn't die, they'd form a deadly grudge. Even if he didn't plan to be friends with Chu Baxing, he also didn't plan to make him an enemy. Otherwise he wouldn't have arranged for Chu Baxing to stay in his guesthouse.
So Qin Siyang could only force a smile and lower his head to this murderous prince first, "Chu Baxing, let's talk about this."
But Chu Baxing shook his head, "No talking."
"Qin Siyang, you're always humiliating me. Wanting to kill you isn't something that started today."
