Chapter 1086: Chapter 1086: Star Era Guide (36)
“Isn’t that Jing Lan?”
“It sure is, I can’t believe he actually came…”
“Hey, do these two know each other? Why is he inviting her to dance?”
In the center of the dance floor, the two figures were particularly eye-catching; all the lights seemed to follow them, making them the most dazzling presence on the dance floor.
“Why did you invite me for the first dance?” Jing Lan looked down at the girl he was dancing with. There was an indescribable feeling in his heart, a desire… yearning… for her.
“Otherwise?” The girl spoke with calm confidence, “If I don’t invite you, who else would I invite? You don’t want to dance with me?”
“…”
He didn’t mean that.
Just… awestruck perhaps.
“Didn’t you say you wouldn’t come?”
“…” He hadn’t planned to come, but he didn’t know why he couldn’t settle his mind. Even after venting, it was useless; only when he stood here did the restlessness gradually subside.
Jing Lan felt a bit annoyed and asked, “If I hadn’t come, who would you invite to dance?”
“No one.” Chuzheng’s voice fell to his ear with the soothing music: “I’d only dance with you.”
Ridiculous.
Is anyone allowed to dance with her?
The annoyance that had just flared up in Jing Lan slowly dissipated with Chuzheng’s words.
The music gradually stopped, followed by intermittent applause around them.
Amidst the applause, Jing Lan held Chuzheng’s waist, lowered his head, and captured her lips.
The applause abruptly halted.
The whole world fell silent.
Everything faded away; in his world, only she remained.
“Let’s date.” Jing Lan whispered in Chuzheng’s ear.
Chuzheng responded with a somewhat dominant kiss.
–
Jing Lan kissed Chuzheng in front of everyone, surprising quite a few people.
Gradually, rumors began to spread that the Zhou Jue Chuzheng purchased seemed to be a gift for Jing Lan.
For a while, various versions of this rumor circulated at the party.
Chuzheng was annoyed by the way people looked at Jing Lan and sent him to a break room.
When she stepped out, Master Yin Er called after Chuzheng: “Hey, big spender, I have something to discuss with you.”
“What is it?”
Master Yin Er glanced around with a bit of a sneaky gesture: “Let’s find somewhere…”
Chuzheng was about to open the break room door, but Master Yin Er knew Jing Lan was inside and quickly blocked her: “Let’s go somewhere else, I need to discuss something private.”
Chuzheng was impatient: “Why are you so troublesome?”
Master Yin Er clasped his hands together, pleading earnestly.
Chuzheng took Master Yin Er up to the balcony.
“Speak.”
Master Yin Er hesitated instead, rubbing his fingers against his clothes as if unsure how to begin.
Chuzheng waited for a moment, losing patience: “If you don’t talk, I’m leaving.”
“Don’t go, I’ll talk.” Master Yin Er was afraid Chuzheng would really leave and immediately opened up: “Last time when you asked me about Jing Lan’s spiritual power, actually… there is a way.”
“???”
It was a serious matter, with little hope. At the time, Master Yin Er didn’t know Chuzheng well, so he didn’t tell the truth.
However, recent events made Master Yin Er think he could tell Chuzheng.
“There is a type of Spirit Restoration Liquid that can…” Master Yin Er said, “But it’s hard to obtain. From the incident until now, we have only found three necessary ingredients.”
“You all?”
“Um… Professor Wei and Principal Chen also.” Master Yin Er said, “I’ve heard Principal Chen found another one this time, but even if added, that makes only four ingredients, far from enough.”
Chuzheng was silent.
“The Cloud-Patterned Crystal you gave last time is also one of the ingredients.”
“What else is needed?”
Master Yin Er listed the remaining ingredients to Chuzheng: “Some things we can’t find any information about. We’re not sure if they can be found, but it’s our only hope.”
A faint hope.
But having hope is better than having none.
Finding things was not difficult for Chuzheng.
After all, the bastard has money.
The key is these things are hard to find, and money can’t buy them.
Chuzheng learned from the auction house about a black market where they sell items that are more numerous and often not found outside.
Chuzheng got a pass card and took a stroll through the black market.
Didn’t find the ingredients, but…
“What’s this?” Jing Lan sat up from the metal platform, somewhat dazedly flipping through the things Chuzheng handed over.
“I bought you a star.”
Jing Lan: “…”
In the galaxy, some planets are private property and can be traded.
But purchasing a planet involves a massive amount of funds, not something everyone can afford.
“Why did you buy this?” Jing Lan was unsure how to react, his expression wooden.
“…”
I didn’t want to either, but the King’s Account made me buy it!
The key is, you were always clamoring for a star before, wasn’t it to fulfill that?
“Don’t like it?”
Jing Lan twisted his lips slightly, hesitating before murmuring, “How much did you spend on this?”
“Not much.” After all, it’s the bastard’s money. Chuzheng looked at him and seriously asked, “Do you like it or not?”
“I like it.”
How could I not like it?
How could I possibly dislike it…
“It’s good you like it.”
“You gave it to me?” Jing Lan asked with uncertainty.
“Yes, from now on it’s yours.” Chuzheng nodded earnestly.
Jing Lan felt a sourness in his heart; he felt that he shouldn’t react this way, shouldn’t accept it so frankly.
Yet when it came to expressing how he should react, Jing Lan found himself unable to speak…
Chuzheng leaned in and gave him a quick kiss.
Jing Lan reached out to embrace her, pulling her tightly into his arms, voluntarily lengthening the kiss.
When Professor Wei entered, he saw such an intimate scene.
He hurriedly covered his eyes with his hands, but his fingers spread wide apart, failing to cover anything.
“Can’t you two calm down? This is a school! Do you have any semblance of teacher-student decorum?”
Jing Lan and Chuzheng separated, somewhat annoyed, looking at Professor Wei: “You didn’t knock before entering?”
Professor Wei argued unhappily: “You didn’t close the door; how is that my fault?”
Jing Lan: “…”
“What’s the matter?”
“Nothing much, just came to check on you.” Professor Wei scanned the surrounding area: “But it seems I won’t need to come by anymore.”
Professor Wei looked at Chuzheng: “Oh, by the way, Xie Wanwan came out…”
Chuzheng’s brow twitched: “Wasn’t she supposed to be at the Ministry of Justice?”
Professor Wei knew about the matter between Xie Wanwan and the Wun Family; the Ministry of Justice had notified the school, and the school had investigated the details of the incident.
The school didn’t expect Xie Wanwan would use someone else’s Identity Chip.
“Someone vouched for her, after all, she has Psychic Power A+.” Professor Wei frowned, clearly displeased: “However, the school didn’t keep her; they transferred her to the Empire Science Academy.”
Under the Empire Academy is the Empire Science Academy, with a distinguished Mecha Department, winning the Mecha competitions every year.
Xie Wanwan transferring schools could not only cover up Xie Wanwan’s Identity Chip fraud but also any other issues.
A school transfer was beneficial for her.
Chuzheng: “…”
I’m so freaking unlucky!
Indeed, such people should be dealt with so they can’t jump around anymore! How much simpler!!
Damn you bastard, look at the mess you’ve caused!
