The full name of Beibu is Hokuto Martial Arts University. Before the disaster, its predecessors were two famous schools in the world. After the disaster and reconstruction, the two famous schools merged into one and became today's Beibu.
Since its establishment, Beiwu has been selected into the top 100 martial arts universities in the world.
After that, it occupied a high position for many years, and now, it has become a frequent visitor to the top three.
Those who can enter here are undoubtedly the proud ones of heaven.
It was night, and the stars were already shining, but by the Weiming Lake in Beiwu, there were still many students exercising in the night breeze, or competing with each other in martial arts, creating a progressive atmosphere.
It is obviously summer vacation, but these students seem to have lost the concept of vacation.
In a closed courtyard somewhere, there was a burst of faint cheers, and then the door opened, and a group of boys and girls of about seventeen or eighteen years old with still immature faces rushed out.
The seniors who occasionally passed by were not surprised by this. There were so many talented people in Beiwu, the competition was extremely fierce, and various training classes emerged in endlessly.
Obviously, these junior students, who looked like freshmen at first glance, had just suffered a round of torture, and they had just escaped from the "sea of suffering".
"Ding Yi, we are planning to go to Minzu Alley for late-night snacks, and then go to the east of the city to dance disco...are you going?"
Several girls who were laughing wantonly suddenly stopped, turned to look at the girl walking at the back of the crowd, and asked.
The girl who was left behind slightly raised her head when she heard the words. The cold moonlight shone down on her seemingly spotless and smooth cheeks, rendering layers of moving halo. Not to mention the boy next to her, even these girls couldn't help but
I was stunned for a while.
"I'm not going, I want to go back to the dormitory." Ding Yi shook his head.
"I'm telling you, squad leader, we've been training for half a month in a closed environment. We don't need to take a break right now. Why don't we go together?" Another boy came to his senses and persuaded with a smile.
"I want to go back to recharge." Ding Yi still shook his head, but still raised the bracelet he just received and explained.
"Oh, it turns out I was in a hurry to go back and make a phone call!"
The girls suddenly smiled ambiguously.
They were all Ding Yi's roommates after coming to Beidu, but they knew that Ding Yi seemed to have a partner in his hometown.
Seeing that Ding Yi's cheeks were slightly red but did not deny it, the eyes of the boys next to him were a little sad, and occasionally there was a flash of anger.
How could such a beautiful girl fall in love prematurely?
The group of people walked forward along the path, chatting uncontrollably on the way.
"By the way, today is June 28th. The college entrance examination has already ended, right?"
"That's for sure, the results will probably be good."
"But it has nothing to do with us anymore..."
Ding Yi, who had been silent all this time, was a little lost in thought listening to their conversation and laughter, but he didn’t know what he was thinking.
At this time, two seniors wiping sweat passed by them.
"Are you going to the Ministry of Education tomorrow? Many people have made appointments."
"Why go to the Ministry of Education?"
"Let's go see the legendary national martial arts champion. I heard that his information is hung in Wuzhao Palace. Jingcheng is too far away, and I can't help but be curious."
"That's okay. Hey, the No. 1 martial arts champion, this title is really scary. I also want to see if that person has three heads and six arms..."
The two of them walked away while talking, while a group of freshmen were a little stunned.
"What are they talking about, the number one scholar in the country?"
"It's fake. How can there be a national champion for Wu Zhuangyuan? Aren't they all evaluated by provinces?"
"Jingcheng..."
Ding Yi did not participate in their discussion. He just murmured and his distraction became more obvious.
Bang!
A sudden explosion attracted everyone's attention.
Everyone looked up in surprise, only to find that the entire night sky was lit up.
A beam of light rose from the center of the lake, making the surrounding area look like daylight. Ding Yi was unconsciously attracted by this light.
The light suddenly spread in mid-air and turned into fireworks covering a hundred meters. The shape was scattered, but it made people feel a little uncomfortable.
Bang!
Immediately afterwards, a second burst of fireworks rose.
Boom!
The fireworks exploded again, blending with the fireworks that had not yet dissipated in the air, and a picture scroll was vaguely taking shape.
At this moment, everyone in Beiwu became quiet and stared at the fireworks in mid-air.
The third beam, the fourth beam...
The fireworks continued to explode, adding one stroke after another to the half-empty scroll.
When the scroll finally took shape, Ding Yi stared blankly at the sky, his eyes suddenly moistened.
The colorful fireworks scrolls vaguely outline a street. In front of a vague building, a girl with black hair is standing under the street lamp with her head raised, tears composed of blue fireworks dripping down her face. There is a young man standing in the corner not far away, his hesitant posture is vividly depicted, as if he doesn't know whether to step forward to comfort the crying girl.
The dynamic "fireworks picture" seemed to have some kind of magic power, unconsciously arousing the emotions of the Beiwu students who were looking up at the moment, hoping in their hearts that the young man would step forward and give the girl another hug. Finally, another bouquet of fireworks shot up into the sky, and the boy walked out from the corner.
As the fireworks continued to bloom, the boy gradually walked towards the girl, and finally stood in front of the girl.
A tear finally fell from the corner of my eye.
This is the scene where she and him first met.
If he felt something, Ding Yi suddenly withdrew his gaze from the sky and looked forward.
On the wooden bridge extending from the lake, there was also a young man standing in the dim light, looking at her with a smile.
Time seems to stand still.
Until... Shen Qian coughed awkwardly and had to take the initiative to walk off the bridge.
The girl was supposed to run towards him, but seeing that Ding Yi had been in a daze but still didn't move, Shen Qian could only take the initiative a little more.
Wiping away the tears on Ding Yi's face, Shen Qian hugged Ding Yi into his arms.
It wasn't until a few seconds later that Shen Qian felt a pair of slender but equally powerful arms hugging him.
Their bodies touched each other, their noses were filled with fragrance, and Shen Qian showed a satisfied smile.
The people around him exclaimed, and countless gazes shifted.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Shen Qian originally thought that Ding Yi would let him go due to shyness, but...he didn't.
She still hugged her so tightly, as if she didn't care about the eyes of others at all.
Only the lowered head of her red and soft ears vaguely revealed that her heart was not as calm as she appeared.
……
This is a hidden hillside, but it is just under the moonlight.
Shen Qian looked at Ding Yi next to him in surprise, "How did you find such a magical place?"
No wonder Shen Qian asked this question, because the two of them walked along just now with the intention of finding a place to talk. However, every corner of the huge campus was filled with whispers and occupied by pairs of unknown couples.
In the end, Ding Yi took Shen Qian to this hillside.
From here, you can see the lights of the teaching buildings in the distance, and you can also overlook the Weiming Lake a thousand meters away. The scenery is excellent.
The most important thing is that there is no one around.
"This is the place where my mentor, Dean He of Jiutian College, usually practices. Only she and I can come in."
Ding Yi explained.
"The dean is a mentor, and he is indeed a genius who was admitted in advance." Shen Qian heard the key and couldn't help but smile.
Ding Yi didn't speak, just stared at Shen Qian with clear eyes.
Shen Qian immediately understood what she wanted to ask, took the other person's hand and sat down on the hillside.
The two cuddled up quietly, Shen Qian didn't speak in a hurry, and Ding Yi didn't speak either.
After enjoying the rare peace for a while, Shen Qian suddenly remembered something, patted his head and said, "Before I tell my story, I'll give you my gift first, so as not to forget it later."
"Are there any gifts?" Ding Yi turned his head curiously.
Shen Qian was stunned for a moment, then realized that perhaps in Ding Yi's heart, that grand fireworks was already the best gift.
"Of course, not counting the one just now, I have given you a serious birthday gift this time."
After Shen Qian finished speaking, he flipped his palm like a magic trick, and a delicate square box appeared in his palm.
Ding Yi was stunned.
Because the shape of this small box seems to have foreshadowed what is inside.
Sure enough, as Shen Qian opened the box, a sparkling diamond ring was immediately revealed.
Ding Yi panicked.
Shen Qian's eyes were a little straight because this was the first time he saw Ding Yi, who had always been calm and cold, in a panic.
She waved her palms helplessly and stepped back a little. A blush quickly climbed up from her neck and spread to both cheeks.
"I... haven't reached the legal age yet." Ding Yi bit his lip and said softly.
Only then did Shen Qian realize that the other party had misunderstood. He said in a dumbfounded voice: "This is not an engagement ring... it's a space ring."
Ding Yi was startled again, and then realized something. She silently sat back next to Shen Qian. When Shen Qian was wondering, her palms had already climbed up to Shen Qian's lower back.
"Next time... tell me earlier." Ding Yi said through gritted teeth.
"Hiss!"
Shen Qian didn't know why he couldn't resist a mere two fingers even though he was already a second-level novice martial artist...
It really hurts.
After Ding Yi let go, he took the ring from Shen Qian's hand and became a little absent-minded again.
Now when I looked closer, I realized that the thing set on the platinum base was indeed not a diamond, but another gemstone with a mysterious luster. It was not as bright as a diamond, but it had a strange regular beauty.
With Ding Yi's knowledge, he naturally knew that this was a space crystal.
Some time ago, she and Ding Anbai went to visit the largest psychic store in Beidu, but Ding Yi didn't buy it because he felt that he wouldn't need it for the time being.
Unexpectedly, Shen Qian bought it for her.
"I'm very happy, but please return it and don't spend money randomly." Ding Yi didn't ask Shen Qian where the money came from, he just shook his head and wanted to return the ring to Shen Qian.
"No money, just keep it." Shen Qian smiled.
"Huh?" Ding Yi sounded confused in his nasal voice.
"After I passed the No. 1 exam, the Martial Arts Department gave me a 10 million voucher. I went shopping today and found out that not all space crystals are that expensive. I bargained with the boss and got 10 million. Two rings."
As Shen Qian spoke, he also flashed another ring on his left hand.
The space crystal that Liu Changqing bought cost 60 million. Shen Qian originally thought that he could not afford it. After going there, he discovered that space crystals also come in different sizes.
Liu Changqing's crystal was about the size of a goose egg, while the two crystals Shen Qian bought were only about the size of a thumb, and each cost only 5.88 million.
Originally, it was impossible to negotiate prices in a place like a psychic store, but Shen Qian was made an exception once.
The reason is naturally because of Shen Qian’s status as the top martial arts scholar in the world.
When Shen Qian took out the unique ten-million-dollar exchange coupon, the store general manager instantly understood Shen Qian's identity and took the initiative to help Shen Qian erase the change.
After enjoying the facial recognition treatment, Shen Qian could only sigh: "Who the hell said fame is useless!"
Of course, the space for a thumb-sized crystal is relatively small, only half a cubic meter, but it is enough to stuff a lot of things.
Ding Yi was a little distracted again.
I don’t know how many times this happened tonight.
Although she had already made some speculations, she still felt that it was not true when she heard Shen Qian personally admitting to being the top pick.
"The changes probably started this year..."
Shen Qian adjusted his posture, hugged Ding Yi from behind again, and began to talk about the past that Ding Yi didn't know about.
Ding Yi leaned on Shen Qian obediently and listened quietly.
Shen Qian erased the existence of the system, which is a secret that cannot be shared with anyone.
He simply attributed the root cause of his change to a sudden enlightenment.
And Ding Yi, just as he expected, didn't ask for details and still leaned quietly on his shoulder.
She has always believed in him so much. It has been like this for three years.
When Shen Qian talked about entering the training class, he also mentioned Huo Ling'er without hesitation.
He talked about scavengers, his first murder, his second murder...
Ding Yi quietly squeezed his hand.
Shen Qian also talked about the inexplicable conflict with Zhao Xin, and described how the martial arts bureau framed him, and when Lao Liu arrived, in his dream, he became the closed disciple of the boss Gao.
There is also the conflict with Wang Shuo, the sudden awakening of talent in alchemy, recruitment from many colleges and universities, his rapid improvement in strength, and three consecutive college entrance examination crowns, and even the conversation with Ma Gongzuo...
Everything, after hiding the system part, Shen Qian told Ding Yi in detail.
Although Ding Yi's expression didn't change much, the eyes looking at Shen Qian's profile kept changing.
Until they talked about the return trip to the college entrance examination and Bu Ya Gu, Ding Yi, who had not interrupted, sensitively noticed that Shen Qian's tone had changed. She couldn't help but move closer to Shen Qian's arms, as if she wanted to use her warm Body temperature dissipates something.
"That Second Brother Song should be happy. After all, you still helped him avenge himself."
Ding Yi said softly, gently wiping away the tears dripping from the corners of Shen Qian's eyes with his fingers.
Shen Qianruo was unaware, just staring at the night sky and muttering: "But I still have a lot of questions that I can't figure out..."
"What puzzles me the most is the mother and son standing on the street that day to deliver the funeral."
"It's hard and tiring...haha."
"I actually wanted to refute it at the time, but I didn't know how to refute it."
"I have used my free time these days to check a lot of information. No, to be precise, I asked Third Senior Brother to help me check a lot of information. After all, he has higher authority than me."
"Shocking, you know, Xiao Ding, it's really shocking..."
"I originally thought that Changyouying's annual casualty rate of 20% was an exaggeration. After checking, I found that in ordinary armies, the annual casualty rate is 30 to 40%, and the highest rate is even more than 50%..."< /p>
"I've thought about a lot more."
"For example, why our cities are surrounded by towering walls."
"Famines, wars, changes... land is not as important as imagined."
"Actually, it's not low. An ordinary soldier without any cultivation can earn close to 200,000 yuan a year. An elite unit like Chang Youying may earn 500,000 yuan a year, which is far more than an ordinary office worker."
"But from a risk perspective, this treatment is indeed low, too low..."
"They are people who are ready to die in the restricted area at any time!"
Ding Yi seemed to understand something, and continued to touch Shen Qian's cheek with his gentle fingers, and asked: "So... you want to go to Junwu?"
Shen Qian shook his head, "Actually... I haven't thought about it."
"But in your heart, you want to join the military. You want to do something, right?" Ding Yi seemed to see through Shen Qian's thoughts.
"Yes." Shen Qian nodded calmly, "Before I came to Beidu the night before yesterday, I went to see the teacher. I don't want to live up to my agreement with you, but I can't forget Brother Song's smile before he died. I want to ask the teacher to clarify my doubts. ."
"What did Marquis Jingcheng say?" Ding Yi asked curiously.
"I didn't see the teacher."
Shen Qian shook his head, "But... there was a book on the sofa where the teacher usually sat. I picked it up and read it, and found that it was an ancient book "Mencius"."
"Ang?" Ding Yi was a little confused.
"I didn't understand it at first, but I sat there and read the whole book, and found that I only remembered one sentence at the end."
"Which sentence?"
"...If you are poor, you can live alone." Shen Qian took out a breath and said in a low voice.
Ding Yi was silent.
There was clearly another sentence, but Shen Qian didn't say it out.
Ding Yi's eyebrows were lowered, and she held Shen Qian's hand again, "If you want to, go ahead. In fact, after coming to Beiwu, I discovered that many things are different from what I thought."
"Everyone is working hard, and the dean also has high hopes for me. Even if we can be in the same school, we can't see each other all the time..."
"What are you thinking about?" Shen Qian suddenly smiled and interrupted Ding Yi, who was rarely chattering, "I didn't say I wouldn't come to Beiwu."
"Ah?" Ding Yi was completely confused and looked up at Shen Qian.
"That's what I was thinking, but it just doesn't work out. I'll take you to Junwufu. They are all top schools and they are all the same to you. But I just have to find a way to convince you."
Shen Qian stood up suddenly, stretched and said, "It wasn't until I came to Beiwu that I discovered that Lao Wei helped me solve a big problem... Lao Wei, the Wei Sijian I mentioned, The proud disciple of the vice president of your Beiwu College of Pharmacy."
Ding Yi nodded slightly, expressing his impression.
"I rejected him before, and he has been planning a big thing. This morning, he took me to the School of Pharmacy and gave me something."
"What?"
"This."
As Shen Qian spoke, he flipped his wrist, took out another document from the space ring, and handed it to Ding Yi.
Ding Yi also stood up, took the document and looked at it. He had the urge to lose consciousness again, but she forcibly resisted it.
This is a letter of appointment.
In the lower right corner of the document, the bright red seal of the School of Pharmacy has been stamped.
"It is planned to hire Mr. Shen Qian as a lecturer at the School of Pharmacy, Hokuto University of Science and Technology, to teach a new course named... for a full-time period of time..."
The courses and employment period are still blank, and Shen Qian hasn’t signed yet, but the college’s seal cannot be faked.
This is a very formal appointment letter for teachers from Beiwu.
Ding Yi finally couldn't hold it back and opened his red lips slightly.
Then... Shen Qian succeeded.
Although there was no heavy snowfall, and the scene was different from what he had expected, the moon was full and the lights in the distance were blurry, and everything was still perfect.
The shadows of the boy and the girl overlap on the ground.
