"Yan big brother, what's wrong with you? Your face looks so bad, are you feeling unwell?" Jiang Chen asked with concern.
Yan took several deep breaths, forcing himself to calm down and forcing a smile.
"I'm fine. So, what did you two do last night?"
Jiang Chen pretended to think for a moment, then his face suddenly turned red. He said shyly, "Last night, Senior Sister played a game with me. She sat on me, but I didn't feel any discomfort; instead, it felt really comfortable. Yan, big brother, can you tell me what's going on? Why did I feel comfortable? And Senior Sister said she'll play with me like that often from now on."
As his words fell, Jiang Chen could see Yan's face rapidly flush with blood. The muscles on his face kept twitching, his dark red eyes were almost about to burst open, his fiery red long hair was standing on end, and his entire person looked extremely terrifying.
Unconcealed killing intent burst forth from his body, pressing toward Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen let out a strange cry and hurriedly rushed forward, hugging Hu Liena's arm.
Hu Liena and Xie Yue both turned back in surprise and immediately noticed Yan releasing that killing intent.
"Yan, what's wrong with you?" Hu Liena and Xie Yue both asked in astonishment.
Yan did not speak. His gaze was firmly fixed on Jiang Chen, who was tightly hugging Hu Liena. For so many years, he hadn't even touched Hu Liena's little hand.
Jiang Chen said aggrievedly, "Senior Sister, just now Yan big brother asked me what we usually do together. I said we play games together, and then Yan's big brother got angry at me."
Hu Liena was completely puzzled and asked, "What game did we play?"
Jiang Chen leaned close to Hu Liena's ear and softly said, "I told him that you often use me for experiments and frequently tease me."
Hu Liena's face immediately turned red. Her eyes glared fiercely at Jiang Chen as she reached out and twisted his waist several times.
By saying these things out loud, wasn't Jiang Chen making her lose face?
Not far away, Yan watched the intimate pair and saw the shy expression on Hu Liena's face. His eyes nearly sprayed fire.
What Jiang Chen had just said to him was most likely true!
He had liked Hu Liena for many years. Hu Liena should also know his feelings, yet she had silently given her body to a little brat who hadn't even grown all his hair. Had she ever considered his feelings?
In this world, only he was worthy of Hu Liena. Hu Liena had to be his.
Yet the reality was so cruel.
"Ah!" Yan threw his head back and roared. His aura fluctuated violently, causing the surrounding pedestrians to flee in fear.
"Yan, calm down. Whatever it is, let's talk it out properly," Xie Yue quickly advised.
Yan ignored Xie Yue. He gave Jiang Chen a hateful glare, then turned and ran off madly.
"You two go back first. I'll go check on Yan," Xie Yue said, then chased after him.
Seeing Yan's huge reaction, Hu Liena finally grew suspicious and asked, "Yan didn't misunderstand something, did he?"
Jiang Chen did not answer her question. Instead, he asked, "Yan big brother seems to like you. Did you know?"
Hu Liena nodded. "I know. He's liked me for several years already, but I've always treated him as an older brother. I haven't even let him touch my hand. I wanted to reject him, but I never knew how to bring it up."
"No need to bring it up anymore," Jiang Chen said with a smile.
"Why?"
"Because just now he asked me if I live with you. I said yes, and that you and I have already cooked the raw rice into cooked rice."
Hu Liena stared at Jiang Chen in stunned silence, completely dumbfounded. Moments later, her pretty face turned thoroughly red, yet it was covered in a murderous aura. She reached out and fiercely twisted the soft flesh at Jiang Chen's waist.
Jiang Chen tensed his muscles. His skin instantly became as hard as gold and iron, leaving Hu Liena's attempt fruitless.
"You've ruined Senior Sister's reputation," Hu Liena said angrily, glaring at Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen gave an awkward smile. "Senior Sister, I'm doing this for your own good. Your charm is so great that even if you rejected him personally, he might not give up. Now that you and I have cooked the raw rice into cooked rice, he'll definitely give up completely. And this kind of thing, he wouldn't spread it around unless he didn't mind people laughing at him."
Hu Liena was stunned for a moment. She felt that what Jiang Chen said made a lot of sense. But then she suddenly reacted. Her beautiful eyes filled with menace as she said viciously, "Say that again, who cooked raw rice into cooked rice with you?"
"You did," Jiang Chen said boldly, then immediately turned and ran.
A strange feeling suddenly surged in Hu Liena's heart, but it was quickly overtaken by anger.
This little brat, now he even dared to tease her? This was unacceptable!
She had always been the one teasing Jiang Chen. Now he wanted to turn the tables?
Without any hesitation, she lifted her foot and chased after him.
But how could his speed catch up with Jiang Chen? When he returned to the bedroom panting and out of breath, Jiang Chen was already standing there with his arms crossed, leaning against the door, waiting.
"You stinking brat, the teacher sent you to the camp so you could diligently cultivate, and you learned all this messy nonsense?" Hu Liena's anger still had not subsided.
Jiang Chen quickly comforted her, "Senior Sister, don't be angry anymore. Since the matter has already happened, we should think about it in a positive way. Yan's big brother will definitely give up on you completely from now on. Isn't that a good thing?"
Hu Liena's expression softened. "But I'm afraid we won't even be able to be friends anymore in the future."
"How could that be?" Jiang Chen smiled. "As long as he's someone with a broad mind, he'll definitely forgive you."
In his heart, he added silently, "He'd forgive you only if he's an idiot like Su Yuntao."
For a moment, Hu Liena felt confused. She did not like Yan, but she also did not want to lose this friend. After all, they were all orphans raised by Spirit Hall, grew up together, and had lived and died side by side in the camp for three years.
This friendship was not something that could just be discarded.
"Stop overthinking. Let's eat," Jiang Chen comforted.
Hu Liena seemed to accept Jiang Chen's approach and said no more, though her face still carried some heavy thoughts.
Jiang Chen no longer paid attention to Hu Liena. He believed she would figure it out eventually.
...
The next morning, before the sun had even risen, Jiang Chen arrived at the training field.
To his surprise, Qian Daoliu was already there early, sitting in the center of the training field, his entire body somewhat damp.
Looking at the mist covering Qian Daoliu's head, Jiang Chen was astonished. Could this old man have sat here all night in the mist?
He really was persistent.
"Grandpa, how's the first technique practice going?"
Only then did Qian Daoliu notice Jiang Chen standing in front of him. His old face immediately turned red.
"Little Chen, demonstrate it a few more times. Grandpa still can't figure it out."
Jiang Chen sighed inwardly and began performing it to the side.
He knew Qian Daoliu probably truly lacked talent in this area. It was likely impossible for him to comprehend the essence of Lightning Fist.
He hoped the old man would persist for a few days and then give up.
Sure enough, over the following days, Qian Daoliu grew more dejected with each passing day. He completely lost the ambitious spirit he had at the beginning. Under Jiang Chen's persuasion, he finally gave up.
Before leaving, he told Jiang Chen his residence and said that if Jiang Chen had any questions in the future, he could come find him.
