Chapter 55

"I'm done." Ruan Qiuping stood in front of the gate of Siming College, let go of Yu Huan's hand, and looked at him suspiciously, "Are you really here for something?"

Because of the special identities of the God of Fortune and the God of Bad Luck, Ruan Qiuping and Yu Huan were born to take the Siming course.

When Ruan Qiuping was a child, he didn't even want to go out and see people, let alone go to school.

He only started studying at Siming Academy in the past two years. I heard that Yu Huan had already obtained all the credits for Siming courses when he was fifteen years old. I don't know what he is doing here now.

"It's something."

"Okay then, go do your thing, I'm going to class, bye."

"Goodbye, Ruan Ruan." Yu Huan smiled at Ruan Qiuping.

The smile was bright and brilliant, with a hint of expectation.

Ruan Qiuping looked at her smiling face and suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

Ever since Yu Huan's ordeal ended, Ruan Qiuping has never come to Siming Academy again.

Fortunately, Siming was very lax in his management. He never showed up in class and never recorded his absence. Moreover, Ruan Qiuping had a special status and was naturally unlucky. He was not well-liked by others. Siming wished that he would not come to class every day.

If it were any other teacher or any other student, he or she would have been expelled from school long ago.

When Ruan Qiuping pushed open the door and walked into the classroom, Siming was not there, and the whole classroom was in noisy.

Those classmates who wanted to stay away from Ruan Qiuping when they saw him now no longer had any rejection expressions on their faces, but instead had a hint of curiosity and envy.

"Ruan Qiuping! I heard that the God of Fortune has written an ultimate good luck charm for you! After school today, let's go to the trading forest to smash the golden eggs together!!" Chen Hai shouted excitedly.

"That probably won't work. I've been blocked by the Golden Egg Stall." Ruan Qiuping walked towards Chen Hai.

"Wear a mask, or at worst, use some magic... Well, our magic isn't that good, so we can't hide from the gods..."

"But I've already drawn almost all the prizes I wanted last time. If I keep going, it will be like ruining the stall, and the stall owner will probably lose money."

"What's the big deal? Why didn't they stop you when you were unlucky? Now that your luck has changed, they are stopping you from drawing the lottery. Don't think too much about it. Just think of it as making back all the money you lost. And let me benefit from it too..."

Ruan Qiuping thought about it seriously and felt that what Chen Hai said seemed to make sense.

Although he had never drawn blind boxes or smashed golden eggs many times, Ruan Shengfeng was really cheated by this thing at that time.

"Some time ago, I specially informed the God of Fortune and asked him to go to Mangyi Snow Mountain to rescue you. You have to repay me for this favor. It doesn't have to be too complicated. You just need to win the new first prize from the Golden Egg Stall. Jingyang has wanted that set of ancient books for a long time... I will treat you to a meal. You can eat whatever you want..."

Chen Hai said this with a smile as he stretched out his hand and put it on Ruan Qiuping's shoulder.

Ruan Qiuping's eyes fell on the hand that Chen Hai placed on his shoulder.

Is this... the arm-in-arm relationship between good friends described in the storybooks

It's not quite what I imagined. It's a little tight around my neck and a bit uncomfortable.

I don’t hate it.

At this moment, Jing Yang also came over, without even looking at Chen Hai, and smiled and stretched out his hand to Ruan Qiuping: "I didn't shake hands with you when we first met, let's make it up now! Hello, Ruan Qiuping, I'm Jing Yang!"

Ruan Qiuping hesitated for a moment and also stretched out his hand towards Jingyang.

The moment the two hands clasped, a smile slowly blossomed on Ruan Qiuping's face: "... I am Ruan Qiuping."

"And me, and me!" Chen Hai also happily stretched out his hand and covered the two people's clasped hands, "I am Chen Hai!"

Ruan Qiuping looked at the two people's overlapping bodies, and his smile became brighter. The sunlight outside the window sprinkled on his body, making his whole body warm.

Siming pushed open the door and walked in. The originally noisy classroom suddenly became much quieter.

Ruan Qiuping also found a seat and sat down.

Jingyang sat next to Ruan Qiuping, and Chen Hai sat next to Jingyang.

But just as Chen Hai was about to speak to Yang Yang, Yang Yang ran away with a book in his arms and sat somewhere else.

Chen Hai hung his head in frustration.

"… What's going on?" Ruan Qiuping moved a little and asked Chen Hai in a low voice, "Aren't you two going to make peace with each other?"

Chen Hai pursed his lips, his eyes were somewhat resentful, he glanced at Jing Yang who was sitting alone in the corner, and said quietly: "... I messed up."

"How did it go wrong?"

"The day before yesterday, I went to Trade Forest with Jingyang to buy books. I accidentally opened a storybook with a picture of two men kissing each other... I was so scared that I threw the book down and said it was disgusting. Then Jingyang got angry with me and ignored me for two days..." Chen Hai said, slapped his mouth and said bitterly, "Actually, I didn't feel particularly disgusted, I was just scared. It's all my fault! It was too fast!"

Ruan Qiuping: “…”

Ruan Qiuping was about to say something when Siming threw a piece of chalk down, hitting Ruan Qiuping's desk.

Siming sighed and said, "Ruan Qiuping, you said you've been absent from class for several days. You finally came to school, but you didn't listen to the lectures and just kept talking. What are you doing here? Tell me the truth, didn't you come to school today just to accompany your family members?"

Ruan Qiuping looked up blankly.

Ah? What family members are you accompanying

The next moment, the door of the classroom was suddenly opened.

A tall and upright figure walked in and stood on the podium.

"Hello, students. My name is Yu Huan, and I am your new teaching assistant."

The whole classroom was silent for a moment, and then soon broke into warm cheers.

Yu Huan held out his hand to quiet them down, and said with a smile: "To prevent you from having unnecessary expectations, I want to explain in advance that I have sealed off the luck around me. Even if I appear in this space, I can't bring you any good luck."

"It doesn't matter." A girl in the audience shouted, "We feel safe knowing that Jishen is here!"

"What if you don't seal your luck well and your good luck shows up? Then we will definitely be the first to benefit from it!" A boy also laughed loudly.

Looking at the enthusiastic response of his classmates, Siming stroked his beard with satisfaction.

Not bad, not bad, the classroom atmosphere has been livened up.

Of course, asking Yu Huan to come and be the teaching assistant is indeed a good decision.

Yu Huan glanced at Ruan Qiuping who was standing under the podium.

The moment Ruan Qiuping met Yu Huan's gaze, he suddenly looked away uncomfortably and deliberately turned his head to look out the window.

Yu Huan retracted his gaze, turned around and said to Siming with a smile: "There is one more thing I want to explain. Teacher, you misunderstood. Ruan is here to study, and I am here to accompany my family."

Ruan Qiuping: “…”

There were several meaningful sighs coming from the classroom.

Ruan Qiuping's ears turned red, and under Chen Hai's teasing gaze, he silently picked up the book beside him and covered his face.

"It's different after drinking the memory soup!" Chen Hai took Ruan Qiuping's book, pushed his arm, and whispered, "Look, Ji Shen, after recovering his memory, not only did he give you the Supreme Good Luck Charm, but he also came here to be your assistant just to see you every day..."

“… I didn’t drink the memory soup.”

Chen Hai: "Ah? Didn't you find the Millennium Lotus?"

"I found it. I didn't let Yu Huan drink it. I poured out the soup."

"Why?"

Ruan Qiuping was silent for a while, then said, "Because I am just like you, I don't want to remember the memories of the mortal world."

Ruan Qiuping paused for a moment and warned Chen Hai, "I still don't know anything about coming to the mortal world, so don't talk nonsense to me."

"How dare I say anything nonsense?" Chen Hai pursed his lips. "The thunder is still hanging over my head, sealing my mouth."

"I feel a little strange!" Chen Hai scratched his head and said in confusion, "Why do I feel that the way you look at you is no different from before you lost your memory?"

Ruan Qiuping sighed and lay on the table, holding a book and covering his face.

It was all his fault that he got drunk and did that to Yu Huan.

That's why the relationship between the two of them developed in an increasingly strange direction.

During the break, Yu Huan walked down from the podium and sat next to Ruan Qiuping.

Ruan Qiuping glanced at him and said, "You just told me that you came to the college for something. It turns out that you came here to be a teaching assistant."

"Is it not possible?"

Ruan Qiuping looked at him with complicated eyes: "Luckily you are not a leader like your father."

"Why?"

"If you dare to be a leader, you will definitely be partial to your own interests."

Yu Huan smiled with his eyes bent, and said softly: "Then I will only follow Ruan Ruan's selfishness."

Ruan Qiuping's earlobes felt burning, and he avoided Yu Huan's burning gaze: "... Yu Huan, you should be more normal."

Yu Huan looked at Ruan Qiuping's expression and knew that Ruan Qiuping was very shy.

He sighed and quietly held Ruan Qiuping's hand under the desk.

Although Ruan Ruan likes him, he still needs to give her some time.

He and Ruan Ruan had only formally met for half a month, but he was already able to hold Ruan Ruan's hand and even unexpectedly received a morning kiss from her.

Our progress is already very fast.

Just then, there was a sudden commotion in the open space behind the classroom.

Chen Hai blushed and shouted, "Jing Yang! I've already said that I don't hate homosexuals! Why don't you believe me?! If I really hated homosexuals, would I still play with Ruan Qiuping?!

Ruan Qiuping, who was not affected by the disaster:

Jingyang pushed Chen Hai aside and prepared to move forward.

Chen Hai suddenly became more anxious, and for a moment he blurted out: "Jingyang, I really don't hate homosexuals at all. What on earth should I do to make you believe me? Do you have to make me do homosexuality in front of you before you will believe me?!"

Jing Yang was originally planning to bypass Chen Hai and walk away, but when he heard this, his steps suddenly stopped.

‌ turned to look at Chen Hai and said coldly: "You do it."

Chen Hai was stunned for a moment and scratched his hair: "…Who should I do it with?"

Jingyang thought Chen Hai was joking and turned to leave.

But she had just taken one step when Chen Hai grabbed her arm. Chen Hai was so anxious that he almost jumped out of bed: "Can you do it with me?! You follow me!"

Jingyang was stunned for a moment.

The next second, Chen Hai suddenly pushed Jingyang and pushed her against the wall at the back of the classroom, then kissed her frantically.

Jingyang froze in place.

When Chen Hai ended the kiss, he calmed down and his face became as red as a cooked shrimp.

Chen Hai took Jing Yang's hand and whispered, "... Jing Yang, I really don't hate homosexuals."

"… Um."

"Jingyang, can I kiss you again?"

"… Um."

Yu Huan watched all this silently: "..."

Yu Huan lowered his head and glanced at the hands he and Ruan Qiuping were holding.

Then he recalled the satisfied expression on his face that almost stretched his lips to the back of his ears because of Ruan Ruan and I shaking hands when he came here today.

Yu Huan: “…”

Sorry, my progress is not fast at all.

Ruan Qiuping was so stunned by Chen Hai and Jing Yang's behavior that he didn't hear a word Siming said at the podium during class.

Fortunately, there was an assistant teacher next to me who was particularly partial and never left my side.

Ruan Qiuping watched everyone walking towards the classroom one by one and grabbed Yu Huan's hand: "Where are you going now?"

Yu Huan pulled Ruan Qiuping from his seat and said, "Get out of this flashy place."

After all, this is the Sima Academy, which is responsible for the destiny of mankind. To manage destiny, it is not enough to just record it. The specific details still need to be determined in practical operation.

And our next learning task is to intervene in the destiny of mankind.

In the next period of time, Sima Ming will assign each of us a classroom assignment every day for us to complete.

However, this class will be more difficult, and that is why Siming hired an assistant teacher.

"Ruan Qiuping, you are lagging behind, can you move faster?"

Qi Yue stood at the entrance of the classroom, looking coldly at Ruan Qiuping who was holding hands with Yu Huan.

"Okay." Ruan Qiuping pulled Yu Huan out and said, "Let's go quickly."

When Yu Huan and Qi Yue passed each other, their eyes met.

‌They saw obvious hostility in each other's eyes.

Ruan Qiuping never thought that he could come down to earth again, and with Yu Huan.

When Ruan Qiuping stood on the familiar land, he was still a little dazed.

‌ was teleported here by Guanchen.

This is the villa where Yu Huan lived when he was experiencing tribulations in the mortal world.

Ruan Qiuping hasn't come down for half a month, and more than ten years have passed in the mortal world.

More than ten years is not a short time, enough to turn a babbling baby into a fifteen or sixteen-year-old teenager.

But more than ten years is not a long time. It has only made the ivy on the courtyard wall grow thicker, the roses in the garden grow brighter, and the lush tree in the yard grow thicker.

Everything is still the same as before.

“… Ruan… Mr. Ruan!”

A doubtful voice was heard, and at the same time, a huge watering can fell to the ground with a dull sound.

Ruan Qiuping turned his head and saw a middle-aged man in his forties looking at him with a look of shock on his face.

Ruan Qiuping stared at it for a while before he figured it out.

This man is the son of Yu Huan’s steward.

The last time Ruan Qiuping saw him, he was still a young man in his twenties. He had just returned from studying abroad at a famous butler academy and was preparing to take over his father's job as a butler.

The middle-aged man came forward with some excitement: "My father is right, you haven't changed at all... By the way... By the way, I am here just to wait for you. Mr. Yu once told me that if you come, I should treat you well. He also said that you might never come... But... But you come..."

Yu Huan frowned and looked at Ruan Qiuping: "Who is Mr. Yu?"

Ruan Qiuping: “…”

How do I explain this
