58: I was stabbed over 8,000 times.

After the new student registration ended, Shen Bei took Jian Tong to her female dormitory building.

Along the way, the two strolled along a tree-lined path adorned with blooming flowers, as the early summer sun filtered through the leaves, casting beautiful beams of light that created a stunning Tyndall effect.

Under the warm sunlight, Jian Tong's radiant smile seemed even brighter than the sun itself; her eyes, like sparkling black gems, were dazzling and almost impossible to look at directly.

Shen Bei, in a playful mood, broke off a few blades of grass from the lawn, aligned them, and with a flick of his fingers, a grass-woven necklace was complete.

"This is for you."

Jian Tong's face flushed, and she put it around her neck; although it was a bit itchy, she still delightedly asked, "Does it look good?"

Shen Bei stretched his neck to look down, praising as he looked, "Pink, Hollow pattern lace, hmm, it looks good!"

Jian Tong: …

"What are you looking at!" Jian Tong's face was so red it looked like it might drip blood, her gaze a mix of shyness and anger.

Shen Bei was also helpless: "I couldn't help myself."

"Get lost!"

Jian Tong rolled her eyes.

Upon arriving at the dormitory building, generally speaking, female dormitory buildings are Forbidden Grounds for males.

However, at a Martial Arts University, there are no defenses whatsoever.

Although there are also dormitory aunties guarding the entrance, they don't act like those in Earth universities, baring their teeth and acting like one man can hold off ten thousand when they see a male.

It's not to say anyone can just walk in, but as long as there's a legitimate reason, males are allowed to enter and exit.

Jian Tong's dormitory was on the third floor, a four-person room.

Upon entering, three girls were already cleaning the room and beds.

Shen Bei briefly greeted them: "Hello, ladies."

The three girls smiled and nodded.

Among these three girls, two were quite unremarkable.

The other wore a light blue jacket, with a white pleated long skirt that just covered the slightly upward part of her calves, revealing her graceful calves clad in white silk stockings, giving a first impression like a nimble and quick little deer, with a pair of coffee-colored ankle boots on her small feet.

This wasn't her most striking feature.

Her most noticeable attribute was…

Her front had two points and a line!

Shen Bei looked once, then twice, thrice, five, six, seven, eight times.

Eventually, his eyes couldn't move away; good heavens, a perfectly round beach volleyball wouldn't be this large.

Shen Bei thought, if she were to give him a breast enhancement massage…

Wouldn't he take off?

Jian Tong was also a bit shocked, lowering her head to look at her own chest.

Couldn't compare, absolutely couldn't compare!

"He's so handsome."

A student named Yu Panpan blinked, praising Shen Bei.

Shen Bei coughed, and said earnestly, "Handsome is an adjective for people, and I am an adjective for handsome. I am like a flower on a balcony, never worrying about food or drink, yet only lacking sunlight and love."

With one sentence, the boy eloquently conveyed the tranquility and melancholy of a quiet afternoon.

Ah, a bit of scar literature.

Another girl named Zhou Qi exclaimed, glancing at Jian Tong: "Is he your brother? Then I won't be polite!"

The big-chested girl, Hu Lan, also showed some interest.

After all, Shen Bei's appearance had only one flaw: it was flawless.

Jian Tong was about to explode with anger.

Good heavens.

Are we here for a blind date?

Jian Tong fiercely pinched Shen Bei's waist, her face full of fury, her whole body twisted: "What are you playing at!"

Shen Bei hissed, continuing to joke: "If… if possible, I'd like to play at something prettier."

"Speak like a human, you jerk!"

Shen Bei exclaimed, putting his arm around Jian Tong's shoulder, and said with utmost seriousness: "Three beauties, if there's a chance in the next life, we'll continue our edge."

The three girls naturally understood, giggling and looking at Jian Tong with envy.

Jian Tong rolled her eyes, thinking, this is more like it.

After some more chatting and laughing, Shen Bei put down Jian Tong's luggage and left.

Soon, everyone had to change into their uniforms for the opening ceremony.

Shen Bei didn't mind changing uniforms together, but he was afraid Jian Tong wouldn't agree.

He returned to his dormitory, a small villa.

There were quite a few small villas in this area, lined up in rows.

Shen Bei's residence was No. 9.

Arriving at the door, he sighed: "The Champion's treatment is really good."

"Indeed."

A crisp echo came from behind him.

Shen Bei turned to look.

It was Yu Qiuyi!

Today, she was wearing a black long-sleeved dress paired with ink-dyed ice-silk long stockings, exuding a pure and elegant yet subtly alluring charm that was captivating.

Her beautiful long hair gently swayed in the breeze with her movements.

The sunlight fell on her silken hair, creating a moving luster, like the sparkling surface of a lake under moonlight, or the golden-dotted sea under the afterglow of the sunset, making one want to lose themselves in its beauty.

Shen Bei was momentarily dazed, asking blankly: "Why are you here?"

Yu Qiuyi giggled: "Aside from the Champion getting to live here for free, all the other small villas can be rented for money; as long as you have money, it's fine."

Shen Bei was taken aback.

Good heavens.

He had thought these villas were for teachers.

He didn't expect them to be a source of income.

Then it was no surprise that Yu Qiuyi could appear here; after all, her grandfather was the Governor of Ning Province.

"I live across from you," Yu Qiuyi said again.

Shen Bei nodded, said nothing more, and turned to open the door.

Before he could enter, after the number plate above the threshold vibrated, a nail fell out, rotated half a turn, and the number changed from "9" to "6."

Shen Bei: ……

"What kind of quality is this?"

Shen Bei didn't bother with it and went straight inside.

The room was very clean.

Clearly, cleaners came daily.

He simply tidied up the bedroom.

Shen Bei changed into the Lingnan City Martial Arts University uniform.

It must be said, the aesthetic of uniforms in this world was similar to schools on Earth.

It wasn't just an eyesore; it was a problem of the designer having lost their mind.

Lifeless, utterly lacking in vitality.

He checked the time; there were still thirty minutes until the opening ceremony.

Shen Bei grabbed his phone and started searching for nearby housing.

Shen Bei needed a house with extreme privacy.

Judging by the current villa, the cleaning auntie could come in at any time.

She might even push open the door while you're in the restroom to clean it.

And give you a look of disdain, as if to say, "I've seen it all, why are you, a half-grown boy, so shy?"

After searching for more than ten minutes, Shen Bei's mouth twitched.

The housing prices near the Martial Arts University were simply outrageous.

Shen Bei had thought he had some money, with over 2 million in savings, enough to buy a residence.

But the result was…

"The location is a rip-off."

"Indeed, the cheapest housing prices in the country are only found in domestic TV dramas and crowdfunding campaigns."

Shen Bei sighed.

However, as long as he stayed away from the vicinity of the Martial Arts University, housing prices were normal.

He decided to give up for now.

Shen Bei decided to buy some daily toiletries online.

Activating—

Pinduoduo!

…

After a busy period, Shen Bei walked out of the villa to attend the opening ceremony.

After meeting up with Jian Tong, Shen Bei said with a heavy expression: "I got slashed over 8,000 times?"

Jian Tong looked bewildered: "Did you fight with a meat grinder?"

"No, Pinduoduo."

Jian Tong: …

"Serves you right!"

Jian Tong showed no sympathy.

At this moment, new students in the campus were successively heading to the auditorium.

Shen Bei and Jian Tong coincidentally met Qi Chuanyu and Liao Zhongyang.

When the two sides met, Liao Zhongyang originally wanted to say hello.

After all, they were all students from Changtu County No.1 High School, and in the future, they would all be "fellow townspeople."

But Shen Bei blurted out: "I'm not playing with you two; I have trypophobia, and you two have too many tricks up your sleeves."

Qi Chuanyu: ???

Liao Zhongyang: ???

Holy mackerel!

Qi Chuanyu's mouth twisted in anger…
