Chapter Seven, Ling'er Invites.
"You're welcome, you're welcome..." Han Yu looked at the fragrant and delicious food, his eyes sparkling with a beastly gleam. Fortunately, Xue Ling'er did not see this; otherwise, she would surely have been left in a daze.
However, thinking of her dream lover, Xue Ling'er suddenly blushed, raising her head to glance at Han Yu. In fact, this silly boy was quite handsome.
Xue Ling'er found herself in a rather amusing yet exasperating situation. Over the past few days, she had sent someone to investigate the young man before her, and indeed... he was very poor, living on watery rice, and could not even afford a bit of pickled vegetables
Oh heavens, oh God, everyone has gone mad for it. The position of officer in the Dragon Knight Corps, along with a personal audience with Lord Abit, all of this, this tremendous honor, has been bestowed upon a first-year student!
A soft and melodious whisper reached Han Yu's ears. He turned his head to see a delicate and charming doll-like face before him, a beauty that felt like a refreshing spring breeze. Moreover, the owner of this beauty had a splendid figure as well
Han Yu broke into a cold sweat as he watched the triumphant Snow Beauty gradually recede into the distance, feeling dejected and compelled to follow her.
The surrounding students paused, and although the girl before them could not compare to Princess Meihiru and Miss Yuelingna, she was still a rare beauty, at least on the level of a campus flower
"Slow down, there is no one competing with you!" The poor Snow Maiden felt very embarrassed
Han Yu was taken aback, not expecting Xue Meiren to be so agreeable today. However, having already suffered a loss once, he did not dare to be careless and cautiously asked, "Ling'er, what are your conditions..."
The second notice comes from a group of beautiful senior female students in their fourth year, seeking their savior. On that day, an unexpected incident occurred; had it not been for that mysterious young man, the dozens of girls at the ninth magical assessment point would likely have perished. Grateful for their savior, the senior students naturally wish to express their thanks in person.
It is certainly not the case that simple individuals could cause the two beautiful women of Water Cloud Star to simultaneously fail in the selection process. The reason for this incident must be traced back to the arrival of the Dragon Knights in the battle and the magical selection event.
"Han Yu, what’s wrong? Why do you have that expression when you see your classmates?" Xue Da Mei pouted, clearly a bit unhappy
Consider the two major announcements that are currently trending in the campus. If he were to step forward and publicly reveal his identity, honor, future prospects, and beautiful women would all follow suit, and money would be a trivial matter. Who could have imagined that the top figure on the Saint Violet popularity list, a person of great renown, with admirers surpassing two beautiful goddesses and a mysterious hero, is actually living a life of half hunger and half fullness
"There is no need to look at me with such gratitude, we are friends after all!" The Snow Maiden smiled somewhat wickedly, "A two hundred percent interest, you know!"
Soon, the waiter brought the food, which included roasted koala legs, snow rice cakes, and fried three-leaf beasts, and of course, there was no shortage of ice cream, all beautifully arranged on the table
Friend, are we not so now
Xue Ling'er felt somewhat speechless. All along, she had been very confident in her beauty. Whenever boys saw her, they either flattered her or fawned over her. How could anyone be like the person in front of her...? It was as if he were avoiding a plague. Could it be that she was truly that terrifying? Could it be that the last ice cream incident had scared him off?
What is this
"Hehe, classmate Xueling, how are you!" Han Yu's expression looked like a bitter smile, constantly seeking an opportunity to escape
The money on hand is only enough to buy some congee, and I must thank the manager of the Xueyisi Ice Cream Shop for allowing me to advance a bit of my salary; otherwise, I would have had to scavenge for buns in the cafeteria these past few days. How pitiful it is! Who would have thought that the hero ranked first in the school's popularity list, the dream lover of countless girls, the great Silver Knight, has fallen to such a miserable state
After settling the accounts, there were still about ten gold coins left. Han Yu offered them, but Xue Ling'er did not accept: "I know you have not been well off lately, so consider this money as a loan to you. Remember to pay it back!"
Endure, one must endure, yet the character for endure is a knife above... Drinking thin porridge every day is truly arduous. Alas, Master, while you are teaching me the profound art of fighting spirit, you are also bringing great trouble.
For this mysterious new student, while the rescued senior students are filled with gratitude, many have already begun to pursue her actively
The actions of the two naturally drew the attention of those around them, and the boys began to look down on Han Yu, saying: "How despicable, to be invited by a beautiful girl and still act so arrogantly!"
In the past, when he was in the mountains, Han Yu never thought there was anything wrong with the silver aura. The old master never said anything at all, but after arriving in the big city and gaining an understanding of the current world, Han Yu realized that this was indeed a peculiar existence
Han Yu nodded in agreement, feeling helpless. With leverage in the other party's hands, one must bow their head under the eaves. Fortunately, apart from being a bit mischievous, Xue Ling'er is not difficult to get along with
With a thud, Han Yu fell to the ground, struggling to get back up. She looked at the witch before her and retracted her earlier praise. Indeed, women are truly dangerous creatures
Directly promoted to officer, the audience with Lord Dragon Knight Abit, such matters concerning the books would surely leave other young people trembling with excitement. However, Han Yu, who came from Earth in a previous life, does not view issues so simply. Given his age, possessing such strength is indeed rare, and it would not be an exaggeration to call him a genius. Yet, will Abit truly value this aspect?
The Dragon Knight Order is filled with experts, far surpassing oneself in number. A personal audience? What a joke, is a senior knight truly deserving of such treatment? The reason for the grand display is likely due to the value placed on my own silver aura.
Rumors that are heard through the grapevine are often filled with distortions and inaccuracies. The exaggerated portrayals have led countless individuals to fervently worship the mysterious Silver Knight, while many rational and composed individuals scoff at it. However, it wasn't long before the students reached a consensus, prompted by two pieces of news.
Although on the surface, Han Yu grew up in the deep mountains and appears unfamiliar and ignorant of everything in this world, in reality, he is a reincarnation of an Earthling, possessing memories of his past life. Such fighting spirit, one can easily imagine, is extraordinarily powerful. Given time, his future will be exceptionally bright
I have said that I will treat, but when a boy and a girl are together, it is only natural that you should pay the bill
"Ah, how comfortable!" Han Yu stretched lazily. After so many days, he finally felt full, and every cell in his body seemed to be in perfect bliss. Then he noticed the girl in front of him, as well as the mess of cups and plates, and his face turned red: "Ling'er, I... I'm sorry!"
It's alright, I will treat you
However, Han Yu wore a troubled expression; he was genuinely a bit afraid of this young lady. Last time, he spent all his living expenses on just one ice cream, and now that she has appeared again, who knows what disaster might befall him this time
The magical recording stone plays the most popular music videos of the moment, and the elegant environment is truly the ideal choice for romance. However, as Han Yu observes the couples around, her heart is filled with bitterness. The expenses here are undoubtedly high; after indulging, aside from selling oneself, she wonders if there are any other options left for survival.
Have you eaten enough
If there is anything in this world that spreads faster than the fame of beautiful women, it is the deeds of great heroes
Especially after the unexpected breakthrough to the third level in the last battle, Han Yu deeply realized the wonders of Silver Star Qi, which could actually evolve into a type of Qi that counters the attributes of the opponent's Qi during combat, truly remarkable
Just call me Ling'er
Half an hour later, Han Yu and Xue Ling'er sat together at the Xue Yilai fast food chain.
At this thought, Xue Ling'er felt a twinge of guilt. Seeing Han Yu trying to take the opportunity to slip away, she hurriedly grabbed his hand in a moment of panic
In a moment, the mysterious silver-haired youth overshadowed all, leaving the two beautiful women of Shuiyun Star far behind. However, it is regrettable that on the day of the incident, his entire body was enveloped in dazzling silver aura, preventing anyone from catching a glimpse of his true appearance
Hello, Han Yu
Now? Hmph! Xue Ling'er suddenly glared fiercely: "These past few days in class, you have been avoiding me as if I were a plague. Is this how friends behave?" Xue Meiren expressed her indignation here; throughout her life, no one had ever treated her this way.
Han Yu once again thought of her family in this world, besides her master, there is also her angel sister. She truly misses them, longs to see them so much
Seeing that persuasion was futile, Xue Ling'er bitterly smiled and shook her head. If the girls in the academy knew that their dream lover, the mysterious silver-haired youth, had such a side to him, who knows what kind of shattered dreams they would envision...
Hmm. Han Yu nodded.
Han Yu had considered revealing her identity, especially after seeing the announcement from the senior students seeking their benefactor. Although she might not have ulterior motives, given her current financial situation, she believed that these kind and beautiful seniors would certainly not refuse to lend her some money. ... The problem is ... . ... The notice from the Dragon Knights sent chills down her spine
Snow Beauty has always found this very surprising. It might be possible for others, but Han Yu's current life is indeed quite difficult
First, the announcement from the Dragon Knight Corps seeks a young man with silver aura, stating that he will be granted the honor of directly joining the Dragon Knight Corps upon graduation. Furthermore, he will not be treated as a soldier but will be promoted directly to an officer. Even one of the three great marshals of the military, the esteemed Dragon Knight Lord Abit, has expressed interest in him and is willing to meet.
No one could react in time as the tragedy was about to unfold, with the beautiful woman on the verge of perishing in a horrific accident. However, at that moment, a hero appeared, a radiant figure exuding the aura of a "king" who effortlessly caught the battle spear, as if picking up a pair of chopsticks for a meal.
Stop making that face, I already said that this meal is on me
The magic department is recognized by Saint Violet Academy as a cradle of beauty, where the girls are fond of romance. In moments of imminent crisis, heroes descend from the heavens... It perfectly aligns with the fairy tale dreams they hold in their hearts
Seeing this guy still wanting to refuse, the Snow Beauty stood on tiptoe, bringing her cherry-like lips close to his ear, and whispered in a voice so soft that only Han Yu could hear: "Do not refuse, I know you are the boy with the silver fighting spirit. Come with me, otherwise, you should be aware of the consequences"
On the third day of the new semester, the Student Council of Saint Violet Academy announced the latest student popularity rankings. Surprisingly, the top position was not occupied by the beautiful and noble Princess Meixilu of the Mingyue Empire, nor by the talented and beautiful Miss Yuelingna of the Luolinfeng family, but by a mysterious individual whose name is unknown.
It is very simple, if you become friends with me, I will help you keep this secret
Everyone is puzzled as to why the true hero has yet to appear. Could it be that he is truly indifferent to all of this? Observing the world is like watching floating clouds; although it is difficult to comprehend, the mystery only serves to heighten the students' interest, and the popularity of the silver-haired youth continues to grow.
Han Yu's exaggerated eating manner not only left the waitstaff dumbfounded, but also caused the couples nearby to pause their romantic conversations, gazing at this once-in-a-century spectacle. Sweat! Is this guy truly the reincarnation of the legendary starving ghost?
Fashionable fast food has always been the favorite of young people, and college students are at the forefront of pursuing trends and styles. Such a lucrative opportunity is naturally not one that the Rowling-Fane family would overlook, and the Saint Violet establishment is the flagship store of this brand
Xue Ling'er took out a small bag of gold coins from her bag and handed it over
That... Ling'er, I haven't eaten yet, so...
The subsequent situation left the young girl dumbfounded. This fellow, not to mention manners, was practically devouring his food as if he hadn't eaten for days. With a bear leg still in hand, he was shoving rice cakes into his mouth...! In fact, one cannot really blame Han Yu; anyone who has been eating porridge for seven or eight days, and still only half full, would behave like this!
To the surrounding classmates, this scene appeared as a beautiful and gentle girl softly pleading in her boyfriend's ear, while the heartless and indifferent young man pretended to be cool, only reluctantly agreeing to the date... Tomorrow, the gossip section of the school newspaper will surely have some exciting news.
Regardless of the circumstances, with the gold coins borrowed from the Snow Maiden, Han Yu has finally escaped the life of half hunger and half fullness At least he no longer has to drink thin porridge at every meal and can also see meat now
Speechless... It seems that I am not that familiar with her yet. Although we are classmates, ever since the last incident, Han Yu has been avoiding her. I have the intention to refuse, but under the fierce gaze of Xue Meiren, I can only compromise with the situation.
Xue Ling'er spoke very casually, but Han Yu felt somewhat touched. This mischievous girl is actually quite attentive, considering her own reputation.
Han Yu tugged at the corner of his mouth, filled with a bitter smile. He certainly couldn't tell her that he was worried about being used as a test subject by the Dragon Knight Corps and that Abit was researching the mysterious Silver Star Qi. No one would believe such a thing if he spoke of it, yet his past experiences told him that the possibility was definitely not small.
The results of the investigation filled Xue Meiren with guilt. Had she known about his financial situation, she would never have jokingly suggested that he buy ice cream that day. However, amidst her guilt, she was also filled with astonishment. While others were unaware of the truth from that day, she knew it all too well, for she had been standing right next to Han Yu at the time. He was undoubtedly the mysterious Silver Knight, without a doubt.
Holding the soft and smooth little hand, Han Yu felt a sudden rush of emotions, yet he did not let the gentle trap cloud his vision: "Ling'er, I haven't eaten yet, I'm really hungry!"
Why not say it
Since we are friends, there is no need to be polite
During this period, many individuals attempted to impersonate others; however, it is not so easy to deceive. The silver fighting spirit has not appeared on the Water Cloud Star for a thousand years, and even the three great marshals are unable to manifest it. To attempt to deceive in this manner is simply more difficult than ascending to the heavens.
According to reliable sources, at that time, a senior knight lost control of his lance, which was imbued with terrifying fighting spirit, and it flew towards the unprepared senior female students of the magic class. In an instant, a chilling wind swept through, the murderous intent surged, and several thunderous booms erupted from thin air, as the Grim Reaper appeared in the sky holding a scythe
According to common reasoning, after the release of the two announcements, the boy with silver fighting spirit should have appeared immediately. Once his identity is confirmed, honor, prospects, beautiful women, and wealth would follow. However, it is perplexing that he seems completely indifferent to these readily available temptations. As days pass, the true hero remains shrouded in mystery.
However, before possessing absolute strength, if one reveals their identity, they will undoubtedly be summoned by the Dragon Knights. Once there, what autonomy will one have? Being squeezed and molded at their whim is not something I desire; I do not wish to become a pitiful little mouse on an experimental platform
In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun cast a golden haze over the Saint Violet, as students flocked towards the cafeteria, with Han Yu among them
The Snow Maiden was not angry; after all, she had already lost face. With her cheerful personality, she no longer cared.
If you don't want to talk, then forget it
