Chapter 69: Chapter 49: Your Classmate Got a Martial Arts Student as a Girlfriend

“Hello, Senior Sister!”

Seeing Qin Rui come over, Zhao Rui hurriedly stood up and greeted her.

“Hello, Junior Brother!”

Qin Rui gave a radiant smile, sitting down gracefully next to Li Xinran.

“Hee hee, what do you think of your Senior Sister Qin? Are you satisfied?”

Li Xinran chuckled, revealing a mouthful of pearly white teeth in a smug grin.

When Zhao Rui heard this, he rolled his eyes. How was he supposed to answer that? Saying he was satisfied would be inappropriate, but saying he wasn’t would be even more so.

He simply pretended not to hear and poured Qin Rui a cup of tea.

“What do you mean, ’what do you think’? What kind of scheme are you up to now?”

Hearing this, Qin Rui’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly as she looked at Li Xinran warily.

“It’s nothing, it’s nothing!”

“Don’t embarrass yourself in front of our Junior Brother. What do you guys want to eat?”

Qin Rui said this while scanning the QR code with her phone to order.

Li Xinran immediately leaned in and started picking out dishes with her.

Seeing the situation, Zhao Rui guessed that Qin Rui was most likely paying for the meal. Li Xinran had surely deceived them both, just to play the part of the “good guy.”

But it didn’t matter. Getting to know the second-year seniors on the team was no bad thing for him.

After ordering, Qin Rui and Li Xinran started chatting with Zhao Rui.

Since they didn’t know each other well, the conversation mostly consisted of getting-to-know-you questions.

Such as why their Junior Brother hadn’t tested into the Martial Arts Academy, and where he was from.

In their year, there were only five people left in total. Zhao Rui was practically one of their peers, so naturally, they were happy to chat with him more.

With the “soul” of a middle-aged man hidden in his mind, Zhao Rui was more than comfortable chatting with young women, his conversation easy and humorous.

Before long, they were all laughing and talking, the atmosphere growing quite harmonious.

While the three of them were chatting, at a nearby table, a girl with slightly dark skin looked at Zhao Rui curiously and muttered, “Isn’t he from the School of Accounting? What’s he doing here at our Martial Arts Academy?”

“What’s wrong?”

the girl’s companion asked curiously.

“It’s nothing. I just recognized someone. Let’s eat.”

The girl shook her head and didn’t give it much thought. He was just an Outer Court Student, nothing worth paying attention to.

The autumn sky was high and the air was crisp; a season of bountiful harvest!

In the leisurely life of a university student, as long as you weren’t in class, your time was your own.

Whether you were dating, playing ball, or even doing nothing at all, just lying in bed, no one would bother you.

These four years could be called the best four years of one’s life, and the only truly “carefree” ones.

There was no pressure from life, no worries about the workplace, and none of the trivialities of daily necessities.

The days passed leisurely, spent however you pleased!

Zhao Rui had a meal with his two senior sisters, strengthening their bond. They agreed to spar more and exchange more pointers during future training sessions. After that, he bid them farewell and left the Martial Arts Academy, walking into the magnificent sunset.

The Martial Arts Team didn’t train every day. Sessions that lasted the entire day only happened two or three times a week.

Most of the time, team members came to the Martial Arts Team to train on their own initiative.

The next day, Zhao Rui had classes all day, so he didn’t report to the Martial Arts Team. Instead, he diligently attended his major courses with his classmates from the accounting department.

Everyone in his class had long known that Zhao Rui hadn’t given up on the Martial Dao and was busy with his Cultivation all day.

Some were jealous. They were jealous that although Zhao Rui was an accounting student just like them, he also possessed immense Combat Power.

After graduation, whether looking for a job or just making his way in society, he would be a hundred times better off than them.

Others sneered at him, disdainful of his overreaching behavior.

’If he had any talent, he would’ve tested into the Martial Arts Academy long ago. Now he’s stuck in the middle, not good enough for one thing but too good for another, and he’s still messing around with this nonsense. He must just be bored.’

Although everyone had their own private opinions, they were all respectful to Zhao Rui’s face, calling him “Brother Rui.”

Zhao Rui couldn’t be bothered with what his classmates thought. If they wanted to be friends with him, he welcomed it. If they were being fake, he didn’t dwell on it.

In the end, everyone had their own life to live and their own path to walk.

Even in his past life, after graduating from university, everyone went their separate ways, never to see each other again. That was even more true now.

“Zhao Rui, have you been busy lately?”

Next to him, He Wanqing, dressed in a white dress, sat down gracefully by his side.

No one ever tried to take this seat; it seemed everyone had reached a tacit understanding.

“I guess so. I’m busy with training all day.”

Zhao Rui said casually. The light fragrance from the girl beside him was particularly pleasant.

“Oh, is your training usually this busy?”

“Pretty much. Whenever I’m not in class, I’m basically training.”

Zhao Rui told the truth. ’After all, my strength is too low right now. If I don’t work hard to improve myself, am I just going to wait for my system panel to grow mold?’

“Don’t work too hard.”

He Wanqing smiled at Zhao Rui, her eyes as gentle as water. ’Since I can’t help him, I shouldn’t cause him any trouble.’

“In the last class, the professor was talking about this cost algorithm…”

Zhao Rui casually picked up his textbook and took advantage of the time before class started to ask He Wanqing about a concept from the previous lecture.

The two of them discussed with their heads lowered, looking from a distance like a couple whispering sweet nothings to each other.

The day, packed with major courses, felt very fulfilling. Zhao Rui listened attentively during lectures and tirelessly sought help after, striving to use every moment of the school day for his academic studies.

He was busy until the evening. Only after his elective class ended did Zhao Rui finally have some free time.

“Are you heading back now?”

He Wanqing, who had taken the same elective as him, asked softly after packing Zhao Rui’s bag for him.
