Upon hearing the news, Ruan Qiuping wanted to teleport home immediately, but before he could cast a spell, he was stopped by Jing Yang: "Ruan Qiuping, don't be impulsive. We have to go back to the classroom to continue the class. There are leaders inspecting today!"
Ruan Qiuping frowned, seeming a little conflicted.
Jing Yang persuaded him, "This time, the leaders of the Heavenly Court Education Department came to inspect. The teacher takes this matter very seriously. If you are found to have skipped class this time, it will be more than just writing a self-review... You might even be expelled, and then... then you won't be able to leave."
Ruan Qiuping pursed his lips, raised his foot and walked forward: "... Let's go to the classroom."
The leader of the Ministry of Education was sitting at the back of the classroom, while Siming, who was sitting at the podium, was giving a lecture with great enthusiasm.
The course of Siming has always had a serious problem of slacking off, especially after the practical course began. Their daily class content is: come down to earth, read out the list of violations in the classroom, discuss in groups, and then end the get out of class.
Now Siming was standing on the podium, lecturing incessantly, and the students were sitting in their seats, pretending to listen in confusion.
Siming glanced at the leaders at the back of the classroom, wiped the sweat off his face, and shouted, "Next is the presentation of today's group practice results. The process is the same as before. Who wants to go first?"
The classroom was silent.
… They have never done any group practice presentation reports before, so who knows the process
It was not enough for Siming to act alone, he also wanted to get his classmates to improvise with him.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Siming felt a little embarrassed. He lowered his head and picked up the roster beside him, saying, "No one is willing to speak, so I'll just pick someone at random..."
… Just pick someone at random
Ruan Qiuping's heart skipped a beat.
The other students' hearts fell steadily.
Sure enough, the next moment, Ruan Qiuping heard Siming shouting, "Ruan Qiuping, come first! Come to the podium and speak!"
Ruan Qiuping: “…”
Ruan Qiuping sighed deeply.
When it comes to bad luck, he has never lost to anyone else.
Ruan Qiuping stood on the podium helplessly, raised his head and began to talk nonsense: "Today's group practice course has ended. Although we have only spent 30 hours in the mortal world, every member of our group has benefited a lot from it. Regarding the content and results of our group practice, I am going to present it from the following three aspects as before..."
Ruan Qiuping paused and glanced at Siming beside him.
Siming quickly caught his gaze, coughed twice, and said, "…Everyone did a good job in yesterday's content report and practice summary. There is no need to sort out the content in this regard today. Just evaluate your record goals."
While Siming reduced the difficulty for Ruan Qiuping, he also highlighted the key points for other students who had not spoken.
Suddenly, many people began to write furiously on paper, hurriedly writing their speeches.
Ruan Qiuping was silent for a moment, then said, "First of all, everyone knows that our group's record target is the future Jishen Yuhuan."
As soon as Ruan Qiuping finished speaking, the senior leader sitting in the middle behind the teacher suddenly raised his head.
… Jishen is indeed Jishen. His name alone can attract the attention of big leaders.
Ruan Qiuping continued, "Before Yu Huan came to the mortal world, I had heard about this future auspicious god. Many people said that Yu Huan was a god who looked like a god. He was bright and beautiful, had an immortal demeanor, was compassionate and kind, avoided noise and lived in peace, and had the aloofness and indifference that a god should have. I have always been skeptical of such evaluations. But after coming to the mortal world and watching the human Yu Huan grow up little by little, I realized that my original suspicions... turned out to be true."
There was silence for a moment below the podium, and then there was some commotion.
Ruan Qiuping even heard several students in the first row below the podium whispering excitedly.
"Oh my god, the God of Bad Luck finally can't stand the God of Good Luck anymore, is he going to fight with the God of Good Luck?!"
"What about the marriage stone? Aren't they engaged?"
"... My God, have you already accepted that they are the ones on the Heavenly Marriage Stone? But they are both men. Do you now accept that male immortals can be together?"
"The world is now a new society of the 21st century. As a deity, could you please not be so old-fashioned?"
Ruan Qiuping: “…”
Ruan Qiuping looked up into the distance, pretending he hadn't heard anything, and continued his speech: "First of all, I want to say that everyone says Yu Huan is a god who looks like a god. This evaluation itself is problematic. What should a god be like? No sadness or joy, great enlightenment, serious and detached from the mundane world? This is not our god, this is a Buddha."
"The human Yu Huan I met was a god who looked like a human. He had the same varied expressions as humans. He could get angry, cry, act like a spoiled child, and be happy. He had the most gentle and strong heart in the world, and he would grit his teeth and persevere even when he encountered setbacks. He was a very patient person, he was good at running, and he was also good at waiting. His smile was very warm, but he was very cute when he was angry..."
"Um..." Someone in the audience raised his hand and blinked blankly, "Are you sure you got the right person? Is the person you're talking about Yu Huan?"
"Yes! Did you find the wrong one? Not long ago, there was a group that had been recording for half a month, and they found that they had found the wrong one..."
Siming looked at the leader behind him, coughed twice, and said, "Ruan Qiuping did not find the wrong person. I can testify to this... No, there is no need to mention the other groups who recorded the wrong person. I have already punished them to write a 10,000-word self-criticism..."
After confirming that Ruan Qiuping had not found the wrong person, the others suddenly became excited.
“… How magical! Is this how a lucky god descends to earth?”
"This is unbelievable! Teacher! Can I ask a question about Ruan Qiuping's speech?"
Siming looked at the healthy, active and interactive classroom atmosphere and said happily: "Of course, everyone is welcome to ask questions!"
Ruan Qiuping: “…”
The students below immediately became excited and raised their hands one after another.
"Has Ji Shen ever cried? What did he cry for?"
Ruan Qiuping: "… because of some very normal reasons."
For example, because you fell asleep, you missed eight hours of being with yourself.
"How does Yoshishin act like a spoiled child?"
Ruan Qiuping: "Act like a normal person."
"Has Yoshi ever laughed? How did he laugh?"
Ruan Qiuping: “…smile like a normal person.”
Ruan Qiuping suddenly found that he did not want to share with others the Yu Huan he had seen. He even regretted his description of Yu Huan just now. He should have directly said that Yu Huan on earth was the same as Yu Huan in heaven, and casually praised Yu Huan's good qualities, and then he could have ended his speech easily.
"... Ah, this is totally unimaginable!!! But can you let us see it?!"
Ruan Qiuping: “???”
"Ah, yes! Use the mind mirror!"
The mind mirror is a mirror that can recreate past scenes by touching it. It is said that this kind of mirror is very useful for immortals who are forgetful and often forget where they put things.
However, this kind of mind mirror is extremely rare and is a high-level immortal weapon.
"Who has a mind mirror?"
"I don't."
"Neither have I."
Ruan Qiuping breathed a sigh of relief: "Since no one has a mind mirror, forget it. I'll stop my speech here..."
"I have it here."
A voice suddenly sounded, interrupting Ruan Qiuping's words.
The person who spoke was the deity sitting in the middle of the back of the classroom. It was said that he was a senior leader of the Heavenly Palace's Education Department.
As soon as he finished speaking, he took out a mind mirror out of thin air and used magic to bring it in front of Ruan Qiuping.
This mirror is very large, with a diameter of almost one meter.
Ruan Qiuping: “…”
Leader, please just watch our performance quietly. Why are you joining in the fun
Ruan Qiuping was now in a difficult situation, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and reach out his hand to touch the contact handle next to the mind mirror.
The surface of the mind mirror suddenly emitted a faint white light. The moment the white light dissipated, there seemed to be ripples on the mirror surface.
The ripples on the water gradually subsided and the outline of a human figure appeared.
That was seventeen-year-old Yu Huan. The time was the day before the college entrance examination, and the scene was Yu Huan sitting at the desk doing homework.
Ruan Qiuping didn't want others to see Yu Huan crying at the age of seven after missing eight hours with him because of sleep; he didn't want others to see Yu Huan at the age of sixteen who finished a long-distance race, crossed the finish line and rushed over to hug him tightly; he also didn't want people to see Yu Huan at the age of thirty-two with a smile in his eyes and a look gentler than the lake reflecting the stars and the moon.
So he specially selected a very ordinary clip.
But now, when he saw the boy studying quietly in the mirror, he felt that the scene was too peaceful and tranquil, and he couldn't help but want to hide himself from others.
The mirror reflects a gorgeous summer evening.
The sunset dyed the western sky a layer of light pink, blending with the blue sky, as gently as if colored watercolor was spread lightly by the fingertips, and smudged out a soft purple.
The boy in the mirror stretched out his hands and opened the window in front of the table.
He glanced at the sky outside the window, then turned to look at Ruan Qiuping in the mirror. He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but stopped. Only a faint smile appeared at the corner of his lips, and the magnificent sky behind him blended together, as bright as the morning stars dotted in the sky.
The only two girls in the classroom screamed softly, their faces looking intoxicated as if their hearts were about to melt.
Ruan Qiuping released the hand holding the memory handle, ready to end the "screening" here.
Because this memory was the last scene he saw before falling asleep, Yu Huan smiled at him because he noticed that he was about to fall asleep. Then he closed his eyes, and there was nothing left.
Ruan Qiuping let go of his hands, and the scene in the mind mirror became blurred and gradually turned dark.
Ruan Qiuping was just about to return the mirror to the big boss, but suddenly found that the ripples on the mirror flickered again, turning into a third perspective.
Ruan Qiuping was stunned for a moment: Is there something wrong with this mirror? Why can't it be turned off
And he had clearly never seen this scene before.
etc…
Ruan Qiuping suddenly remembered that this mind mirror did not reproduce people's memories, but reproduced the scenes of the day based on people's memories.
So, what follows is what happened after he fell asleep.
It was clear that Yu Huan in the mirror was just looking at him quietly, and Ruan Qiuping's face in the mirror was completely blocked by a pile of books. Almost no one could tell who the person sitting at the table reading with Yu Huan was.
But even so, Ruan Qiuping still panicked.
"Teacher, why can't I turn this off?"
"It's broken." Siming was not in a hurry at all, and even watched with relish.
Yu Huan in the mirror moved his feet and stood next to Ruan Qiuping.
Ruan Qiuping's heart almost jumped out of his chest. He slapped the mirror and quickly pressed the memory handle next to it, but it still had no effect.
Yu Huan in the mirror lowered his head, his eyelashes trembling slightly, and he slowly lowered his head...
"Wow..."
There was a cry of surprise from everyone in the classroom.
Ruan Qiuping's heart was beating faster and faster. He hurriedly walked over and blocked the mirror with his whole body. However, the mirror was too big and he couldn't block it at all.
The viewing angle of the mirror moved slowly with Yu Huan's movements. Seeing that the other person in the mirror was about to be exposed, Ruan Qiuping almost suffocated his breathing. At the critical moment, he suddenly turned around while holding the mirror, and turned the back of the mirror to the students in the audience!
The students immediately expressed their dissatisfaction, as if they were being forced to change the channel when something exciting happened on TV.
Ruan Qiuping was leaning against the blackboard behind him, holding a mirror. His face was very close to the mirror and he could see the boy in front of him clearly. He bent down and nervously and restrainedly kissed the corner of Ruan Qiuping's lips in the mirror.
Ruan Qiuping's whole face turned hot.
Fortunately, at this moment, the image in the mind mirror flashed suddenly and finally turned off.
"What are you doing... Why don't you let people finish watching it?"
"Who is the other person blocked by the book? Is it Yu Huan's first love in the human world?"
"Did you kiss? Did you kiss?"
Ruan Qiuping said sternly, "What's the point of being intimate? You have such dirty thoughts. Yu Huan just bent down to pick up something."
Everyone: ... Really? I don't believe it.
"And these are all the privacy of the people being recorded. I hope everyone can treat them rationally." Ruan Qiuping paused and continued, "This is the end of my report today. Thank you everyone."
After saying that, he walked down from the podium holding the mirror and handed the mirror to the leader of the Ministry of Education who was enjoying the fun.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion.
Ruan Qiuping always felt that when he handed the mirror to the leader, the leader seemed to look at him meaningfully.
When Ruan Qiuping thought of the engagement farce that was going on at his home, he immediately became eager to go home. As soon as Si Ming finished saying the class was over, he used teleportation and disappeared.
The expected noisy scene did not occur.
The house was even a little quieter than before.
Ruan Qiuping cautiously pushed the door open and walked in, only to see Xia Fushui and a woman in elegant dark clothes sitting at the table drinking tea.
"Qiuping is back?" Xia Fushui put down the tea in her hand and said, "Say hello, this is Yu Huan's mother."
Ruan Qiuping suppressed the doubts in her heart and called out obediently, "Hello, Auntie."
Mother Yu smiled and waved: "Come here, let me see."
Ruan Qiuping blinked and walked closer.
"It's different from the rumors. I think this child is fine." Yu's mother nodded with satisfaction.
Ruan Qiuping: “…”
What rumors have you heard
After saying this, Yu's mother took out a red envelope from her bosom and said, "Keep it first. It's a small token of my appreciation."
…What is this for
Ruan Qiuping glanced at Xia Fushui awkwardly. Seeing Xia Fushui nod slightly, he took the red envelope: "... Thank you, aunt."
“I don’t think so!”
Ruan Shengfeng suddenly ran down from the attic holding a bunch of yellowed books. He frowned and said seriously, "The book says that the Heavenly Marriage Stone has always been used to conclude marriages between men and women. It is impossible for such a ridiculous thing to happen, to tie men together!"
Mother Yu smiled and said, "My dear relative, you are right. But you should read the book again. It says that if the immortal couple of the Heavenly Marriage Stone do not marry or have a wedding night within five years, it is a violation of the contract and they will be struck by heavenly lightning. Your daughter is only three years old this year, so it is not suitable."
Xia Fushui didn't say anything.
She had learned about this rule some time ago, so she tried her best to bring her daughter down to earth to grow up so that she could complete the marriage within three years.
But it ended in failure.
Mother Yu paused for a moment and continued, "Besides, these two children, one is the future lucky god, and the other is the future unlucky god, were born on the same day of the same month of the same year. If it weren't for the fact that they were both born male, who wouldn't say that these two were made for each other?"
"But but..." Ruan Shengfeng turned a few pages of the book "Heavenly Palace Records" and pointed to a few sentences, saying, "It says here that Yu Huan's father said more than a thousand years ago that he looked down on those who violated secular etiquette, abandoned moral principles, and ignored the harmony of yin and yang and had affairs with the same sex... Yu Huan's father despised male love so much, how could he accept our Qiuping marrying a woman? Who knows how he would bully our Qiuping when the time comes!!!"
"It's an old story that happened more than a thousand years ago. It's better not to mention it." A voice suddenly came.
Ruan Qiuping turned his head and looked, his eyes widened in shock.
Isn't this the leader who was sitting at the back of the classroom today? ! Is this the leader from the Ministry of Education who gave him the mind mirror and watched the fun? !
"I admit that I was inexperienced at the time, and now I apologize for my remarks." The leader paused and continued, "Now that I think about it, status and gender are just external things. The most important thing is that the two children love each other and have a mutual understanding. I just checked the date at the Planetarium, and the fifteenth day in three months will be an auspicious day that only comes once in a century. Why not hold the children's wedding on that day?"
Ruan Qiuping: "Wait..."
Xia Fushui stood up and said, "Since this is a good day chosen by the future Jishen family, there must be no problem. It's just that your family came unexpectedly today, and we are a little bit inadequate in entertaining you. How about finding another day in the future to discuss the details of the wedding?"
"Then see you tomorrow." Yu's mother smiled.
After Yu's father and mother left, Ruan Qiuping asked in shock: "What's going on?! Mom! Wasn't it Dongdong's engagement? How did it become mine? And it was so hasty, I didn't say a word, and they just decided my life. And I'm also a man, why do they say I should get married and not Yu Huan! Wait, this is not the point, the point is why you are so calm!!!"
At this moment, Xia Fushui had a calmness that was detached from the world.
She took a sip of tea, glanced at the pile of betrothal gifts in the room, and said calmly, "There's nothing I can do. They gave me too much."
