The Man Who Appears Once a Year

Chapter 64

Views:

In the past two days, Yu Huan was in high spirits, with a cheerful smile on his face. He stood beside Siming, and his eyes were full of affection when he looked at Ruan Qiuping, which made people blush and couldn't help but raise their hands to block his sight.

"What's going on?" Jingyang leaned over and asked in a low voice.

Ruan Qiuping glanced at Chen Hai, who was sleeping with Jing Yang's hand pulled over to his head. "What's wrong with you two? These past two days, you've been like conjoined twins, doing everything together."

"Nothing." Jingyang's ears turned red and he pulled his hand out.

Chen Hai groaned in his sleep, and his body involuntarily rubbed towards Jingyang's body. After touching Jingyang, he lay on Jingyang's body like a sloth, and his hands almost unconsciously reached into his clothes.

Jing Yang suddenly shook off Chen Hai's hand, blushing and whispering, "Chen Hai... is in class!"

Chen Hai finally came to his senses, opened his eyes, reluctantly left Jingyang, and lay down on the table again.

Ruan Qiuping smiled, looked away, and turned back to continue talking.

Siming was holding a thin piece of paper and passionately stating the benefits of the Siyin major at the podium, and criticizing the students for their lack of enthusiasm in signing up.

Someone raised his hand in the audience: "Teacher! We need to take three tests to transfer to this major: answering questions, practicing, and picking love fruit. Is that true?"

Siming nodded: "Yes, but it's not difficult at all..."

"But we haven't studied the relevant courses at all, how can we answer the questions? We are definitely not going to pass."

"Yes, yes, and isn't it an invasion of privacy to pick love fruit in public..."

"Changing majors is such a hassle..."

"Everyone, stop for a moment!" A strong voice suddenly came from outside the door. It turned out to be Yue Lao.

He stroked his beard and said with a smile: "We understand everyone's demands, so now, we have made a change to our assessment method. The students who ranked in the top ten in the class in terms of task completion in the past few days can directly transfer to our major without any assessment. In addition, all students who transfer to our major will be given ten spirit stones and ten red strings, and each time they go down to the mortal world to complete a task, they will be given a subsidy of one thousand yuan!"

“… one thousand dollars!”

Some classmates were amazed.

Obviously, Sima Ming's behavior of only giving out one hundred yuan each time he comes to the mortal world has caused dissatisfaction among many people.

Even Chen Hai, who was sleeping, sat up and counted on his fingers what delicious food he could buy in the human world with one thousand yuan.

"Ruan Qiuping, how many names are you?" Jing Yang asked.

"It's exactly the tenth place." Ruan Qiuping said.

He had taken a leave two days ago, so he had no results for that day's assignment. However, since he had performed well on other occasions, his overall result was not that bad.

"Then you just don't need to take the test!" Jing Yang smiled and asked, "Do you want to change your major?"

Ruan Qiuping felt that the courses in the marriage major were quite simple, and he was quite interested in them. Moreover, he always completed the tasks well. Looking at the mortals he had brought together and seeing how happy they were, Ruan Qiuping was happy for them.

But in comparison, the next course of the Sima Ming course is much more cruel. There is also a course about the turning point of human destiny, and this turning point must guarantee the number of disasters and deaths. Ruan Qiuping really doesn't know if he can bring disasters to people without changing his expression.

Moreover, there is no need to take an assessment when changing majors, so there is naturally no hidden danger of the lover's fruit.

Ruan Qiuping hesitated for a moment and said, "Then let's turn around."

Jing Yang smiled happily, "That's great, we can have class together again, and I don't think you need to worry about the lover fruit at all. Don't mention that the assessment doesn't require the lover fruit now. Even if it is, I don't think you can pick the lover fruit all the time. It was a long time ago that you last went to pick the lover fruit, and so many things happened in the meantime. When Yu Huan's tribulation in the mortal world ended, we all saw your condition. Anyone who saw it would say that you are deeply in love."

Ruan Qiuping lowered his head and smiled, saying nothing.

"So you want to switch to marriage major?"

Ruan Qiuping was sitting in a coffee shop in the mortal world eating cake, and Yu Huan was sitting opposite him.

Ruan Qiuping: "Do you think I'm suitable?"

"Ruan Ruan is naturally suitable." Yu Huan held Ruan Qiuping's hand, "If Ruan Ruan studied marriage major, she might be able to write a better script than "Fate of Immortals and Mortals" and "My Devil Master and I"."

Ruan Qiuping paused while eating the cake and asked in shock: "How do you know my life story?"

Yu Huan blinked and said, "Really? I just picked up two of them at random."

"But the sales of these two books are very low, especially the one about Master. It's been more than ten years, but the sales are still in the single digit..."

"That just proves that Ruan Ruan and I are destined to be together." Yu Huan smiled.

Looking at Yu Huan's fiery gaze, Ruan Qiuping lowered his head and muttered softly: "... That's too much of a coincidence."

"Since Ruan Ruan has decided to change her major, I should do it as soon as possible." Yu Huan said.

"As soon as what?"

"This morning, Siming told me that one of me and Qiyue would be assigned to a new major as an assistant teacher. It seems I have to fight for it as soon as possible."

"Then you must strive hard for it." Ruan Qiuping said seriously, "I don't want Qiyue to be my assistant."

"Does Ruan Ruan hate Qi Yue?"

Ruan Qiuping nodded: "I don't like it anyway."

He paused, looked up at Yu Huan, and said, "But the main reason is that I like you and want to stay with you forever."

Yu Huan was stunned for a moment.

When Ruan Qiuping was reflecting on whether his words were too corny, he heard Yu Huan shouting in a hoarse voice: "Ruan Ruan, come over."

Ruan Qiuping stood up from his seat, somewhat confused, walked around the table, and approached Yu Huan: "What's wrong?"

Yu Huan suddenly grabbed his arm and pulled him to sit on his lap.

Ruan Qiuping's ears immediately turned red, and he pushed him away: "Yu Huan, this is a public place, people will see us..."

Yu Huan smiled and kissed his red earlobe: "Don't worry, Ruan Ruan, no one will see it."

Ruan Qiuping raised his head and saw that everyone in the cafe had stopped moving, even the clock on the wall had stopped ticking. Just as Ruan Qiuping was about to admire Yu Huan's light-pausing technique for being so easy, Yu Huan raised his head and couldn't help but kiss his lips.

Five minutes later, Ruan Qiuping sat back in his original seat.

The stopped clock began to continue ticking.

The waiter two meters away was oblivious to what had just happened. He still placed the drink in front of Ruan Qiuping with a smile on his face: "Sir, your summer ice drink."

"… Thanks."

Ruan Qiuping clenched the cold drink in front of him and pressed it against his burning cheek, wishing he could bury his entire head in it.

"Ruan Ruan doesn't have to bury her head so deep." Yu Huan said with a smile, "No one knows what just happened."

"It's true that no one knew." Ruan Qiuping gritted his teeth and said, "But just now their eyes were clearly looking at me. Although they were unconscious, but... this can't happen again in the future!"

Yu Huan looked somewhat innocent: "Ruan Ruan was the one who teased me first."

Ruan Qiuping: “…”

It seems so.

At this point, a girl who looked like a student walked by and said to Yu Huan with a smile: "Hello, can I add you on Fetion?"

Yu Huan subconsciously looked towards Ruan Qiuping, only to see Ruan Qiuping lowering his head and drinking an iced drink with an expression as if he was watching a show.

Yu Huan said: "Sorry, I don't have Feixun."

The girl turned her head and looked at the table next to her. Her companions at that table were cheering her on with winks.

So the girl mustered up her courage and said, "Well, we are playing Truth or Dare. Can you help me, little brother? Even if you don't have Fetion, you can give me your phone number."

“I don’t have a cell phone either.”

The girl looked a little embarrassed, but she didn't seem to want to leave.

Maybe young girls are always braver. She took out a sticky note and put it in Yu Huan's hand: "This is my mobile number. If you have a mobile phone in the future, can you give me a call?"

When the girl was inserting the convenience card, she touched Yu Huan's hand.

Yu Huan frowned.

Ruan Qiuping finished most of the drink in front of him and even picked up the glass and shook the taro balls in it.

"Ruan Ruan." Yu Huan suddenly called out, "Is the ice drink good?"

"Not bad." Ruan Qiuping said.

Ruan Qiuping looked at Yu Huan's expression and alarm bells started ringing in his heart.

He looked up at the girl and said solemnly: "He really doesn't have a cell phone, and he won't have one. I can testify to that."

Ruan Qiuping paused for a moment and continued, "Besides, he is already engaged and has a partner."

The girl blinked and looked at Yu Huan, who looked to be in his early twenties, with some disbelief: "... engaged? But he looks very young."

"He looks young, but he's actually quite old, much older than you!" Ruan Qiuping said, "Oh, by the way, his fiancé is me."

After Ruan Qiuping finished speaking, he took out the sticky note from Yu Huan's hand and handed it to the girl: "So I'm really sorry, we can't accept this."

The little girl's face changed, she quickly took the ticket, whispered sorry, and ran away.

Yu Huan lowered his head and said, "I thought Ruan Ruan was concentrating on drinking her drink and wouldn't get upset."

"How could that be?" Ruan Qiuping whispered, "You saw me drinking the drink, but I was actually biting the straw because I was a little jealous, but I felt that showing it would make me look too stingy."

Ruan Qiuping paused, lowered his head, rummaged through his Qiankun bag, and found the ring they had made in the human world two days ago.

Ruan Qiuping took out the ring, put it on Yu Huan's middle finger, and said, "Then treat this ring as an engagement ring. You can't take it off before changing it to a wedding ring."

He paused, his face slightly hot, but his eyebrows were flying, and his tone was unprecedentedly strong: "... From now on, whenever someone approaches you and wants to talk to you, you must show him the ring first, then... from now on, no one will dare to covet me!"

Yu Huan was stunned for a moment. He looked at the ring on his wrist and smiled with his eyes bent: "Okay."

Then he put another ring on Ruan Qiuping's middle finger and said, "Ruan Ruan should always wear it too."

Ruan Qiuping looked at the smile on Yu Huan's lips and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Yu Huan held Ruan Qiuping's hand.

He didn't tell Ruan Qiuping that at that moment he just recalled some memories of his demise.

A similar scene seemed to appear in that memory.

The scene was a little blurry. He could vaguely remember that a girl confessed to him in front of Ruan Qiuping. Ruan Qiuping originally had an expression as if he was watching a show, but as he watched, he raised their rings and told the girl that he was married.

He still remembered that after the girl left, Ruan Qiuping praised the girl's recklessness and bravery with an enviable look on his face. The expression on his face was frank and clean, without a trace of unhappiness.

Yu Huan couldn't remember what else he and Ruan Ruan said apart from these, but he could clearly feel the strong sense of loss in his memory, as if his entire heart was hollowed out, but he had stuffed a fake one in there unwillingly.

but…

Yu Huan looked at Ruan Qiuping's serious expression and their tightly clasped hands.

He now felt that the empty heart chamber was slowly filling up with beating veins and flesh and blood.

Filled with happiness.
