Chapter 57: They’ve All Gone Mad – Could It Be True Love? / Recommendation Quota / …
The next morning, Jiang Chenyan was shaken awake by the piercing sunlight.
Just as he sat up, he felt a lack of energy throughout his body.
He rubbed his temples, trying to remember. It felt like he had dreamed last night, yet also like he hadn’t. He couldn’t quite say.
Putting on his slippers, he prepared to wash up…
Jiang Chenyan habitually looked up into the mirror. In the next second, his entire body froze.
In the mirror, the mark on his neck hadn’t faded; instead, it was even more obvious than yesterday, a piercing red.
Jiang Chenyan frowned, wondering if something was wrong with his eyes. Was Interstellar medicine this unreliable? It couldn’t even fade this small mark? He had thought it would have subsided by now.
Staring at the mark on his neck, the more he looked, the more irritable he became. Jiang Chenyan couldn’t help but raise his hand and scrub at it forcefully. The pads of his fingers repeatedly rubbed over the marks without any sense of restraint, thinking only of getting rid of this conspicuous trace as quickly as possible.
The result was the opposite of what he wanted. When he looked in the mirror again, the neck wasn’t clean; instead, a large patch of red had appeared, and even the skin had been rubbed until it felt hot.
Jiang Chenyan froze in place, looking at himself in the mirror, speechless for a long time. “…”
Simply too lazy to care anymore, he finished washing up perfunctorily and stepped out of the bathroom.
As soon as he entered the dorm, he saw Shen Shiyue returning with breakfast, which was still steaming.
“You went out so early to buy food and even specifically brought some for me.” Jiang Chenyan walked forward, unable to help but sigh with emotion as he took the breakfast. A good roommate. Truly a good roommate.
Shen Shiyue’s gaze, however, landed on his neck first. “It seems more serious.”
Jiang Chenyan reached out to touch his neck, his brows furrowing. “Indeed. There isn’t even a sign of it fading.”
“I saw you scratching it when you got up last night. It might be that the wound is healing, so it’s itchy,” Shen Shiyue said as he handed the hot milk to him, his tone sounding perfectly normal.
Jiang Chenyan thought that made sense. He lowered his head and took a sip of the hot milk, the warmth sliding down his throat. “Actually, it’s all Mu Sian’s fault. If it weren’t for him, would my neck be like this?”
Shen Shiyue didn’t respond immediately. He was silent for a few seconds before nodding slowly. “He is indeed not a good person.”
Jiang Chenyan agreed with this. How could Mu Sian be any kind of good person?
After finishing breakfast, he obediently found the ointment and applied it to the red marks on his neck while facing the mirror.
It seemed there were no classes in the morning, only in the afternoon.
If he remembered correctly, it was Combat Arts and Mecha Piloting.
In the afternoon, Jiang Chenyan and Shen Shiyue changed into their black uniforms and met at the training grounds on time.
Jiang Chenyan had a dark scarf wrapped around his neck, hiding the red marks completely. When Ji Xuan saw him from afar, he only raised an eyebrow. Over the past two days, Jiang Chenyan had been using various ways to hide his neck; he was already used to it.
During training, the instructor taught several new combat moves. When break time arrived, just as they were about to find a place to drink water, they heard a loud burst of cheering from the adjacent field. It was rising and falling, quite lively.
“What’s going on?” Jiang Chenyan instinctively looked toward the source of the sound. Shen Shiyue and Ji Xuan also frowned, clearly not understanding the situation.
The three of them exchanged looks and simply followed the crowd toward the neighboring field, wanting to see the excitement.
Just as they squeezed in, they heard students nearby whispering.
“A fight? Are they fighting?”
“They’re the school’s famous figures…”
“It’s not a fight; it’s a privately arranged combat match. Both of them are ruthless characters. It’s super intense.”
Jiang Chenyan understood. No wonder the students around them were watching with such interest.
He forcefully pushed through the surrounding crowd and moved forward. When he clearly saw the figures facing off in the arena, Jiang Chenyan’s pupils shrank slightly.
He almost couldn’t believe his eyes.
How was it Xie Huaijin and Mu Sian? He never imagined these two would be the ones clashing.
Had Mu Sian already been discharged from the hospital? Did his head heal that quickly?
In the moment he was dazed, for some reason, both Mu Sian and Xie Huaijin in the arena suddenly looked toward him.
After a brief pause on him, they continued fighting.
Except this time it was different; their movements were faster, and their moves were more vicious.
Jiang Chenyan was still staring at the intense fight, not yet having recovered his senses, when his vision suddenly went dark. Shen Shiyue’s palm lightly covered his eyes, the warmth from his palm transmitting through the thin skin.
Immediately after, he heard Shen Shiyue’s voice by his ear. His tone held no emotion, only his eyes were as dark as unshakeable ink. “Aren’t we leaving?”
