Chapter 726: Chapter 397: Fog

In the early morning, a light fog covered Yanyun, and the warm sunlight cast a hazy beauty over everything in the city.

A handsome young man rode his bicycle across the traffic-jammed Yanyun Bridge, with a beautiful girl sitting behind him. They looked like a couple of immortals, drawing attention.

The young man was tall and strong, and he seemed to have no difficulty carrying the girl up the bridge slope, even having the leisure to chat and laugh with her.

The girl’s arms were wrapped around the young man’s waist, and she responded to his banter with a light laugh.

Onlookers couldn’t help but feel envious, as this scene reminded them of their youthful days.

Jiang Wei thought the same, as the head teacher of Class 7 in Yanyun High School’s senior year.

He was still stuck on the bridge, not knowing what accident had happened ahead since the traffic was at a standstill.

Then he saw Li Changhe carrying the class monitor past him on a bicycle through the non-motorized lane, chatting and laughing along the way.

Usually, this wouldn’t be an issue, as Jiang Wei knew they were childhood friends. It wasn’t a big deal for them to go to and from school together.

However, there had been rumors in the class that their relationship had progressed to a more intimate level, even by many steps.

Moreover, their attitudes seemed quite close to each other. Perhaps it really was...

Early love? Jiangshan decided to pretend he didn’t see it.

Neither of the two’s grades had fallen; in fact, Li Changhe’s grades had improved significantly. After all, the class monitor was often seen tutoring him during breaks. It was said that he had even cut back on his part-time jobs recently. This was good news.

So, Jiang Wei didn’t even greet them, which only led to an awkward situation for both parties.

"Yo, Old Ban, you’re gonna be late today." As a result, Li greeted him first: "You should ride your bike to work, it’s energy-saving and environmentally friendly."

"Damn it, I pretended not to see you, why did you have to greet me!" Jiang Wei was shocked and slapped the steering wheel, "You’re even showing off your love in front of me, your head teacher!"

Afterward, Jiang Wei’s expression changed quickly, and he kindly said to Xiao Nan, who was sitting behind Li Changhe, "Monitor, if you guys arrive first, have the students start with a test."

With that, he took out a stack of test papers from the passenger seat.

Jiang Wei guessed that he was really going to be late, but he couldn’t let the students’ curriculum slip.

Xiao Nan nodded and took the papers.

Li Changhe then took the test papers from Xiao Nan’s hands and put them in his bicycle basket, complaining, "Old Ban, your attitude is so double standard. I’m also your lovely student, please be gentle with me."

Jiang Wei sneered, "Then you can write one more, that’s my love for you."

As he spoke, he tried to take out another stack of test papers from the passenger seat.

"Sorry to bother you, goodbye." Li Changhe chuckled, then rode away with Xiao Nan and the test papers.

Xiao Nan waved to Old Ban with a smile, her arms wrapped around Li Changhe’s, never letting go.

"Ah~~~ this is youth." Old Jiang also waved goodbye. After they had left, he suddenly remembered that he had talked with Xiao Nan’s father on the phone just last night.

He was inquiring about someone’s information both openly and secretly.

"It’s really troublesome; I even have to cover for you as the head teacher." Jiang Wei complained and then quietly waited for the bridge to clear up.

An accident had happened at the front, causing a traffic jam, and nobody knew how long it would last.

On the other side, Li Changhe suddenly sneezed.

"No way? I, a Physique player, can catch a cold?" Li Changhe was greatly surprised. With 13 points in Physique, he could even withstand bullets, yet he could still catch a cold.

"Hmph!" The girl behind him snorted softly, squeezing Li Changhe’s waist with her hand wrapped around him, "Serves you right."

"That’s not what you said last night." Li Changhe responded, pinching the girl’s hand.

After that, his waist was pinched even harder.

...

There was no difference from usual in the school. Students studied when they should and played when they could.

Li Changhe scratched his head. Yesterday, he had faced off against their Divine Tree World’s top navy general and confronted Rorodoa, the immortal creature who stole the divine essence.

Now he was back in the real world, diligently working on his assignments.

This was the unique sense of being torn that players had.

Li Changhe had gotten used to it. Compared to the Tian Ce General who galloped across battlefields, he preferred his current life.

For example, Old Zhao, his deskmate, was playing tricks on him.

"Old Li, check this out." Old Zhao showed Li Changhe a video on his phone.

It seemed to be from a foreign zoo, where a tourist accidentally fell into a tiger enclosure. They were ferociously mauled by the starving tigers before the video suddenly ended.

It seemed like quite old news—from India. To be honest, after learning that they used cow dung to bathe, Li Changhe thought nothing was surprising anymore.

"After watching the video last night, I felt like there was a tiger lurking behind me all the time." Old Zhao said seriously.

"A tiger?" Li Changhe was taken aback, wondering, "There isn’t even a zoo in our small town of Yanyun. Where did a tiger come from?"

"I know, but I was so scared last night that I couldn’t sleep. Even my dog didn’t dare to bark. Is there something really happening?"

As a player, Li Changhe had to be cautious.

He gave Old Zhao a glance, released his energy perception, but found no issues.

Then he sniffed the air. As a Physique player, his five senses were incredibly strong, but he didn’t smell anything strange. Instead, there was a strong smell of the chive dumplings Old Zhao had for breakfast.

So, he advised earnestly, "I suggest you see a doctor, preferably a psychiatrist. I think you’ve watched too many horror videos, and it’s gotten to you."

This was quite normal. Once, after watching a horror movie, she was too scared to sleep and kept feeling like something was lurking behind her. Li Changhe had to stay on the phone with her all night.

It was just psychological, there were no ghosts... Well, actually there were.

Old Zhao spoke mysteriously, "Do you think I have the face of a protagonists? Having a unique constitution, when strange incidents happen to me I’m recruited by a special department... "

"Then a beautiful and leggy senior instructs you, leading you to become the hidden guardian amongst the public. You then embark on the path of saving the world, accompanied by beauties." Li Changhe added, "And I play the role of the male supporting character beside you, occasionally providing subplots."

"...Why are you so familiar with this?"

"What do you mean? This is how novels are written."

"Screw off!" Old Zhao chuckled and cursed, "Anyway, that’s the feeling. Not as much as you think. Maybe I’m just going through my dark phase."

Li Changhe nodded, supposing that the memory erasure wasn’t thorough, or that the two Great Wall Special Forces members had left too strong of an impression. Even after the memory erasure, he would subconsciously associate things with the supernatural.
