Chapter 441: 441

Due to Lu Xiang’s identity, the two of them quickly realized it was not wise to stay there for long.

News of her return to school spread quickly throughout the campus, and many students skipped class and hurriedly made their way to the live combat training field.

Luckily, Lu Xiang had a strong ability to counter investigations and was extremely familiar with the campus. Before the main forces arrived, she pulled Song Lan into a small grove of trees nearby.

At this moment, she braced her right arm against a tree trunk, pinning Song Lan against the tree, her vigilant eyes shifting away from him to the "search party" that had even deployed mechanical dogs.

She seemed completely unaware that her actions had fulfilled all the basic elements of a "wall pin."

"The Morning Star Cup really is popular,"

Song Lan remarked, trying to steady his fluctuating emotions.

Perhaps this was the way campus events were supposed to be. He reminisced about his university days when, no matter how much the arts committee screamed in the class group, no one responded, and in the end, it was up to her to lead by example, reluctantly calling up a few familiar friends to join her on stage as if they were marching to their doom.

"Of course, not just does the winning team earn a large number of student points, but on the day of major competitions, members of various companies and large families also attend. Performers who stand out can attract their attention, and many students sign labor contracts with companies before they graduate,"

Footsteps hurried by the green belt.

The mechanical dog seemed to sense something and emitted a warning bark.

Lu Xiang leaned forward, nearly pressing against Song Lan as she hugged him and pressed her face against his cheek.

In the past, after she finished training, she would always encounter couples hugging each other in the grove at dusk, and "A Love Tip Every Day" mentioned using this method to evade searchers. Today she finally had the chance to try it.

Song Lan, feeling Lu Xiang’s breath, his heartbeat quickened; it wasn’t dusk now but broad daylight.

Any passerby could see their current actions.

The "search team" brushed past them, and the mechanical dog stopped by the roadside. The students’ gaze naturally fell on the two of them, and the visually striking scene left them blushing.

Song Lan felt that this time, Lu Xiang had miscalculated because the two of them weren’t wearing uniforms, and their attire stood out among the students.

Or maybe, Lu Xiang had done it on purpose.

Lately, Lu Xiang’s tactics had become more varied, always reminding him of the saying, "Poor Tom is always outwitted by Jerry."

Using him as a cover, at this critical angle, Song Lan had no choice but to face the students alone, their gazes filled with curiosity and inquiry. He felt these study materials were too early for kids, so he turned his attention to the mechanical dog.

He remembered Lu Xiang mentioning that these mechanical dogs were very common in military operations, possessing all the traits of a military dog, more durable, and equipped with a certain firepower system. But more importantly, they were operated by precise artificial intelligence.

"Buddy, help me out."

The mechanical dog met Song Lan’s gaze, seemed to understand, and in the midst of the excitement, it suddenly barked furiously towards the distance. Caught off guard, the students holding the leash were tugged into a jog for several steps.

"Over there!"

Someone in the crowd quickly reacted, following the mechanical dog and running towards the distance.

Although a sweet romance was desirable, they now had more important things—like the Morning Star Cup—waiting for them, and with Lu Xiang’s guidance, they could transform themselves and achieve a satisfying rank.

"Phew—"

The students were gone, and Lu Xiang breathed a sigh of relief as if a great burden had been lifted.

But before she could change her position, that warm breath of hers went directly onto Song Lan’s neck, startling him, who had been paying all his attention to the retreating figures of the students.

That incident further solidified Song Lan’s thoughts.

Such a situation would be too much even for a child, let alone an adult like him who had seen his fair share of grand scenes.

Still, Lu Xiang didn’t seem ready to let him off the hook, "Hey, your face is red again."

Song Lan’s face was suddenly cradled by cool hands, exerting a slight force to keep his gaze on her face.

This time, he clearly saw Lu Xiang’s lips curve upward—not just a pixel-level smile.

Their gaze continued for nearly a minute, time seemed to crawl so slowly that Song Lan even suspected that time had been artificially slowed down by a Psychic.

"Someone’s coming again."

After what felt like a century-long staring contest, Lu Xiang finally relented and released Song Lan, "We’d better run."

She naturally took hold of Song Lan’s hand and pulled him toward the distance.

Song Lan began to understand everything.

Theoretically, they could have left this place of trouble from the beginning, but Lu Xiang deliberately hid with him in a small grove not so far from the training ground. Young as he was, he had thought that Lu Xiang wanted to avoid the student-formed "search team," but he had never expected that she had been aiming for him.

Tricked again!

Song Lan cursed himself for falling for it, upon thinking it over, how could Lu Xiang, the top student in all subjects, be so easily found by students, and need his help to get out of trouble?

Now Lu Xiang finally demonstrated her real strength; faced with a wide-scale search, she led Song Lan through buildings and groves with astounding ease, breezing past the encirclement set by the students effortlessly.

When they turned into a building that resembled a teaching block, Lu Xiang leaned against the wall, her chest heaving with excitement. She reminisced about her times at Morning Star but had never engaged in anything as nerve-wracking and thrilling as this.

It was just like the scenes described in the romance novels she had read, where the lovers dodge students, parents, and teachers to find a space that belonged solely to them.

The scenarios from the novels overlapped with reality, and the fleeing lovers now faced the real big Boss.

"Student Lu Xiang, seeing you so spirited makes me very happy."

The wild dean appeared!

Lu Xiang was startled by the abrupt voice, her usual bravery shrunk a notch in the presence of this elder.

"Hello, Dean!"

Song Lan, on the other hand, greeted the older man warmly and kindly. He had seen the dean’s picture in an introduction posted in the training gym earlier. This old dean had been involved in nearly every aspect of the academy’s construction and was now 139 years old.

"Hello, you must be Song Lan," the dean said.

"The dean has heard of me?"

"A teacher mentioned you to me before and gave you high praise; I have wanted to meet you for a long time... But before that, Student Lu Xiang, you’ve caused a large number of students to skip classes on your return to school, and several teachers have brought this issue to my attention."
