Chapter 755 - 753: The Eve
At this moment, she felt a bit lost.
If all of this were true, how wonderful it would be. After work every day, being able to have dinner with the man she likes, watching him with his messy hair after a shower, then going over to help him wipe it dry.....
In a drowsy state, Shen Yan actually fell asleep. At this time, Chen Tianlong had just finished his shower and, upon exiting the bathroom, saw Shen Yan sleeping sweetly. Her sleeping posture was truly alluring, making Chen Tianlong a bit excited.
But Chen Tianlong managed to hold himself back. He walked over and softly said, "Shen Yan, time to get up for dinner."
Shen Yan looked at Chen Tianlong with sleepy eyes, her gaze full of affection, which momentarily made Chen Tianlong’s mind wander.
"Get up, have something to eat." Chen Tianlong said gently, sitting by the bed.
"Mm."
Shen Yan nodded, got up with an effort, sat on the bed, and then walked to the living room. Chen Tianlong had already set two bowls of noodles on the dining table, and they sat down and started eating.
"Mm, these noodles are really delicious. Shen Yan, your cooking skills are truly impressive." Chen Tianlong praised.
"Hehe, you’re flattering me. I’ll just fly up into the sky in a bit." Shen Yan said this on the surface, but in her heart, she was very happy. Which woman wouldn’t be happy to be praised by the man she likes?
After eating, Chen Tianlong suddenly realized it had started raining outside, and going out dressed like this was out of the question.
Shen Yan saw Chen Tianlong’s concern and timidly said, "Chen Tianlong, why not... just stay here tonight?"
"Huh? Stay here? That’s not very proper."
In truth, Chen Tianlong was willing a thousand times over, but he couldn’t be too obvious about it. However, there was only one bed here. If he stayed, wouldn’t that mean the two of them would have to share the bed?
"Mm, I’ll sleep on the sofa in the living room tonight, you can take the bed." Shen Yan’s words struck Chen Tianlong’s naughty thoughts like a thunderclap, completely wiping them away.
"Oh, okay." Chen Tianlong said, seemingly unaffected, but inwardly a bit disappointed.
And wasn’t Shen Yan the same? She also wished for the courage to have something happen with Chen Tianlong, but once she thought of their current teacher-student relationship, she suppressed her emotions.
Thus, they spent the night with one sleeping in the living room and the other in the bed. Throughout the night, Shen Yan was actually awake the entire time.
Because the one sleeping in the bed wasn’t Chen Tianlong, it was Shen Yan.
Shen Yan knew her own thoughts best. She wanted to love Chen Tianlong but didn’t dare. Due to their special relationship, she planned to confess to him after he graduates, when their relationship would no longer be that of teacher and student.
At this moment, she wished Chen Tianlong would sleepwalk, come to her bed, and hold her as they sweetly fell asleep.
And Chen Tianlong wasn’t asleep either, thinking about the next day’s matters, still feeling uncertain.
He kept pondering why the Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique couldn’t perfectly combine with the Flaming Frenzy Dragon Fist. Was there a detail he hadn’t noticed?
Logically, these two Heart Methods should be compatible and achieve a perfect fusion, right?
With this question in mind, Chen Tianlong practiced and thought simultaneously, and before he knew it, morning light seeped through the window, signaling the start of a new day.
Chen Tianlong planned to call his aunt after the competition to ask about it, as she surely knew many of the secrets of the Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique.
"Phew...."
After a deep breath, Chen Tianlong felt refreshed, stood up, and walked towards Shen Yan’s bedroom.
At this time, Shen Yan was coming over with a steaming bowl of congee with preserved egg and lean meat, placing it on the small table and happily asking, "Did you sleep well last night?"
"Uh, it was alright."
Chen Tianlong answered blandly, a bit surprised at Shen Yan’s diligence, "Shen Yan, why are you up so early?"
"Haha, I’m used to it. Every morning at seven, I wake up naturally, then lie in bed for a few minutes before getting up to make congee for you."
Shen Yan replied with a sweet smile, fully treating Chen Tianlong as a good friend rather than a student-teacher relationship.
"Oh, do you get up early every day to make congee?" Chen Tianlong thought it rare for modern girls to be so diligent, usually breaking a few alarms by sleeping in wasn’t uncommon.
"Oh, actually I rarely make things to eat for myself in the morning. I mostly go to school for something quick and simple." Shen Yan explained.
"Then why do you get up so early? For school?" Chen Tianlong asked, a bit puzzled.
"Yes, I go early to study and read. I plan to take the graduate school exam in the future." Shen Yan revealed her big secret to Chen Tianlong.
"What? The graduate exam?"
Chen Tianlong was very surprised, never imagining such a beautiful woman would want to pursue graduate studies, typically something those without alternatives or suitors considered.
"What’s so strange about that? In modern society, to stay invincible, you must constantly enrich and reinforce yourself, strive for greater heights, and not remain complacent." Shen Yan expressed her ambitious aspirations, and Chen Tianlong suddenly grasped something.
Indeed, wasn’t he also trying?
Shouldn’t he also find a place to enhance his skills? Always stuck in the Mortal Realm would limit the experts he encountered, and without pressure, there’d be no motivation for advancement.
So Chen Tianlong planned to explore the world in a while, especially the schools in the Capital City.
After breakfast, Chen Tianlong and Shen Yan rested for a bit and then headed to South Sea No.1 Middle School.
Chen Tianlong continued driving, as most of their classmates stayed on campus, so even with Shen Yan as his passenger, no one would misunderstand.
When they passed by the small grove, Chen Tianlong made a point to look, finding no trace of the four people, guessing they had probably been taken to the hospital.
Hao Kan, having suffered humiliation, would never admit it, surely simmering with plans for revenge. However, Chen Tianlong wasn’t worried as he was accustomed to daily troubles and growing through them, slowly adapting.
The two rode an electric scooter and soon reached South Sea No.1 Middle School’s campus, which was alive with the sound of drums, likely the student council setting the mood.
Generally, schools involved drums for major events to create excitement and a sense of tension, otherwise, everyone would seem asleep, with little to hold attention.
However, this competition was of great importance, even drawing city government leaders, and South Sea No.1 Middle School, led by Situ Feng among others, took this event very seriously.
This concerned not only the reputation of South Sea No.1 Middle School but also the national prestige regarding high school martial arts.
At this moment, the campus was bustling. Seeing the crowded track full of cars, Chen Tianlong felt a bit dizzy, unsure where to park.
Surveying the two rows of parking spaces, Chen Tianlong finally spotted an available spot, immediately feeling elated.
"Shen Yan, I’ll park the car first, wait for me here a moment." Chen Tianlong said with a smile.
