Chapter 97: Suddenly Looking Back, That Person Turns Out to Be My Classmate

The auction had dragged on for hours, and by then it was already ten at night.

Unlike a small city like Xuncheng, Kyoto was still blazing with light at this hour; the real nightlife had only just begun.

Whether out of some faint guilt that he had not spent any money, Hu Yu dragged Lin Xiao out for another lavish meal.

Lin Xiao did not object either. If a rich fool was willing to pay, why not enjoy it?

During the meal, Hu Yu and the others tried several times to persuade Lin Xiao to drink, but he refused each time.

Drink? Never again in this life!

By the time they finished eating, it was very late. Lin Xiao had not drunk, but the other three had quite a lot, and none of them would ever drive drunk.

Though Lin Xiao could drive, he could not drive two cars back at once, so Hu Yu simply found a five-star hotel nearby and checked them in.

The four of them were living in comfort, while Ji Boxiao was miserable.

With no money and having lost both his car keys and his phone, he nearly had to sleep on the street.

If Liu Ruyan had not still had a little cash on her, they might truly have ended up spending the night in a park.

Of course, after that incident, Ji Boxiao had no mood left to book a room with Liu Ruyan.

He only wanted to recover the things he had lost, but how had they been lost in the first place?

It was not as though he had never suspected Lin Xiao, but Lin Xiao had only patted his shoulder, and there had been so many people around at the time. He must have been targeted when he was leaving the venue. Damn it, if he ever found out who did it, he would make sure they paid dearly.

Lin Xiao: (￢_￢)

Heh. If you could discover it, then all my years of study in the nursing home would have been for nothing.

For the next two days, none of the four returned to school. The three of them took Lin Xiao all over Kyoto to have fun.

Lin Xiao had nothing else to do anyway, and since he was already in Kyoto, it would almost be an insult to himself not to enjoy it properly.

That evening, they finally deigned to go back to school.

It was not because they had had their fill of fun, but because tomorrow was the first day of the new term, and tonight the counselor was holding a class meeting, so they had to return.

Lin Xiao had entered Kyoto Spirit Martial on a temporary notice from the elders of the nursing home, and in truth he had absolutely no idea what he was about to face.

Only through recent idle conversation with Sun Bin and the others had he learned that he had been assigned to the best class in Kyoto Spirit Martial.

This class could be said to be the most outstanding among all the freshmen of this year.

Its entry requirement was that one’s ability had to be at least SS-rank.

There were forty students in total, which meant that this year Kyoto Spirit Martial had forty geniuses above SS-rank.

One must know that in all of Xuncheng, there was only Shen Yao at SS-rank.

From Zhou Zhi, he had learned that Shen Yao had not come to Kyoto, but had gone to Magic City instead.

Right. Zhou Zhi.

He had been so busy having fun these past few days that he had forgotten his good brother.

He really deserved to die.

Forget it. He would make it up to the kid later.

But even so, it showed just how difficult it was to gather such a class.

Lin Xiao now finally understood why, on the surface, his ability had been listed as the strength type at SS-rank.

So that was why—to get him into this so-called elite class.

By the time the four of them returned to Kyoto Spirit Martial, it was already late, and there was not much time left before the class meeting started. So instead of going back to their dorms, they went straight to the classroom.

Since it was already late, quite a few students were already there.

Their arrival naturally drew the attention of most of the class.

Very quickly, the girls in the class collectively lost their composure.

Who would have thought there would be such handsome boys in the class?

Hu Yu was automatically ignored. Sun Bin, though not exactly conventionally handsome, had a body full of solid muscle that gave him a style all his own; plenty of girls were fond of that type.

Of course, more eyes were still fixed on Wen Jingxuan and Lin Xiao.

What kind of heavenly looks were those? And the key was that the two of them had completely different styles.

Wen Jingxuan had that roguish, handsome bad-boy vibe, while Lin Xiao looked more like a sunny young man.

"Wuwu, I thought there were no boys in the class left who could make my heart race. I never expected two to show up at once. I want their contact information!"

"Draw your blade, sister! I am not giving mine up!"

"They say beauty is food for the eyes. I used to think that was a lie, but now I believe it. I’m already full. Handsomeness can be eaten too!"

"I like that handsome guy—the wild, unrestrained look. I’m in love."

"I like the sunny young man even more. One look and you can tell he’d be good to people."

"Only fools choose. I want them all!"

"Hey! Fatty, you’re blocking our view."

Hu Yu: o(′^｀)o

Thanks a lot!

Lin Xiao did not care what those people were thinking. The four of them went straight to the back and sat down.

Just after sitting down, Wen Jingxuan’s eyes began roaming all around.

"Tsk, tsk. I have to say, there are quite a few beauties in this class."

"You really never change. So quickly you’re already hunting for a new target."

"Please. A rabbit doesn’t eat the grass by its own burrow. I’m the type who pursues pleasure, not attachment. If I got together with someone in this class, I’m afraid I’d never know a moment of peace."

Lin Xiao knew Wen Jingxuan the least well of the four, but based on his behavior over the past two days, he felt that Wen Jingxuan’s words made perfect sense.

With this guy’s habit of starting things and abandoning them, if he really did date one of the girls in class, then there truly would be no peaceful days ahead.

There was one thing Wen Jingxuan had said that was not wrong: there were indeed many beauties in the class.

Yet for some reason, the figure of the woman in Box Number One at the auction appeared again in his mind.

Lin Xiao gave a wry smile. He must really be losing it.

Not long after the four had sat down, another figure stepped into the classroom.

Everyone’s gaze involuntarily turned toward her; Lin Xiao was no exception. The moment he saw that figure, he froze completely.

Not only Lin Xiao—the entire classroom fell silent. At that instant, the quiet was such that not even breathing could be heard.

It was a woman. Her face was like a work of meticulously carved art; her skin was as white as snow, delicate as silk.

Her brows were like distant ink, lightly tracing a gentle curve; her eyes were like autumn water, holding a deep and enchanting light.

Her nose was straight, her vermilion lips naturally red. Perhaps sensing the stares around her, she gently bit her lower lip, and a captivating blush rose unconsciously across her face.

Her clothes wrapped her tightly, yet still could not conceal that flawless figure.

Especially her legs—they were longer than some people’s very lives.

The woman looked over the seats in the classroom and soon found an empty corner, where she sat down.

Only after she had taken her seat did everyone else seem to remember how to breathe.

Even so, no one offered any comment about her, as though any words would be a desecration.

Lin Xiao just stared blankly at that figure, and the woman before him now overlapped perfectly with the silhouette he had seen in Box Number One.

He really had not expected to see her so soon.

He had searched through a thousand times in the crowd, only to turn back suddenly and find that the person was his own classmate.
