In the Jianghu

In the office, Chen Xiao sat in his large boss chair, lit a cigarette, and said, "You should leave tomorrow."

Sun Ying's pretty face was flushed, and she leaned against his shoulder, closing her eyes and softly humming a 'hmm'.

Chen Xiao was mainly afraid that the conflict with Shi Zhongfu would affect Sun Ying.

That bastard had been operating in Jinning for most of his life, involved in shady businesses.

Sun Ying was in the open, while he was in the dark; to be safe, going to Lijiang was a good choice.

After Shi Zhongfu was dealt with, if she wanted to come back, she could.

"Go on, go back and pack up."

"No hurry, I'll rest for a bit first."

......

In the evening, Chen Xiao walked out of the office.

Lin Yanran blushed as soon as she saw Sun Ying.

She remembered seeing her in the boss's previous office.

It was because she emulated her actions that she herself was caught by the boss...

"Yanran, arrange for Miss Sun."

"Ah?"

"Oh."

"Okay."

Looking at Lin Yanran's adorable expression, Sun Ying smiled and said, "Such a beautiful girl by your side, and you haven't won her over?"

Chen Xiao said sternly, "I am a proper person; work and relationships will absolutely not be mixed."

Sun Ying pouted, "I wouldn't have an opinion anyway."

Chen Xiao smiled, suddenly remembering Lu Xingchen's words: women always say one thing and mean another, so he absolutely couldn't fall for that trick.

Sun Ying then said, "I'm serious, whoever is alone with you, that would be torture."

"Nonsense, I'm so considerate, how could that be?"

"......" Sun Ying.

...

The next day,

Chen Xiao personally saw Sun Ying off at the airport.

Before she left, he slipped a card into her pocket.

Then he returned to school.

The new student orientation finally ended, and the new students had all received their textbooks and military training uniforms.

After the welcome party on Monday, the more than 20-day military training would begin.

Everyone had to get three shades darker during this process to complete the trial.

On the plane, Sun Ying inadvertently put her hand in her pocket and felt a hard object.

She pulled it out and saw it was a bank card wrapped in a piece of paper.

A line was written on the paper: [Take care of yourself, and guard the food for my child.]

Sun Ying rolled her eyes, a bright smile unconsciously appearing at the corner of her mouth.

She tucked her falling hair behind her ear, turned to look at the white clouds outside the window, the sunlight was particularly dazzling.

......

When Chen Xiao returned to the dorm, as soon as he opened the door, Xiao Ji grinned and said, "Xiao Ge, a cigarette."

"......" Chen Xiao.

It was still the familiar formula, still the familiar taste.

In his previous life, Chen Xiao had heard this phrase for four years; it seemed it would be the same in this life.

"You finished pretty fast, done in three days?"

Xiao Ji chuckled, "I'll ask my dad for money next month."

Chen Xiao thought to himself, 'Next semester is more like it; next month, you won't get a damn thing!'

He pulled out two cigarettes and tossed one each to Xiao Ji and Liu Xin.

Liu Xin was busy in front of the computer, not even noticing the cigarette that dropped onto the table.

"Holy crap, what are you doing, son? So focused?"

Liu Xin didn't even turn his head, "This time, I'm going for something big!"

Chen Xiao was speechless, and suddenly felt a throbbing pain in his brain.

These two roommates of his, one was a spendthrift, and the other... was also a damn spendthrift!

"You're relying on some damn macroeconomics?"

Liu Xin looked innocent, "Yeah, all-in!"

"......" Chen Xiao.

"Liu Xin."

"Huh?"

"I heard that Teng Xiao Capital Group near our school seems to be hiring sanitation workers."

Liu Xin: "!???"

"I'm going to be the God of Stocks!"

Chen Xiao: "......"

That bastard was truly obsessed.

Hauling bricks for two months during the summer vacation, he'd probably lose everything this semester.

The more Chen Xiao looked at the two of them, the more speechless he became, finally just leaving the dorm, sending a message to Li Wenli, and then heading downstairs.

The summer heat was scorching; there was no way to do other exercises at school.

Swimming became the only option.

This national-level swimming pool was open for free to Jinning University students.

It was built to high standards, with complete facilities, and filled with beautiful women...

Downstairs, Li Wenli still had paint on her, clearly having been painting in the dorm, and came down in a hurry.

Chen Xiao said, "Let's go, want to come with me?"

Li Wenli hesitated a bit; although she liked being with Chen Xiao, she really didn't like swimming...

Her only hobby was painting.

"Hmm... how about letting Xia Yudie accompany you? I..."

Chen Xiao was speechless, "Never mind, I'll go by myself. She's probably playing games and wouldn't want to go anyway. You go paint."

"Hehe."

Li Wenli kissed Chen Xiao on the cheek, "Okay."

Chen Xiao, carrying his bag and accompanied by bodyguards, arrived at the swimming pool, took off his clothes, and his distinct muscle contours attracted a lot of attention.

Chen Xiao managed his physique quite well.

Although Xi Yunru's passive exercise volume was very large every day, she would occasionally give Chen Xiao some professional guidance.

Especially his abs, eight clear packs, particularly prominent, clearly indicating that he had specifically trained this area.

"Oh my god, Xiao Zi? I didn't realize, you usually look so skinny, but when you take off your clothes, you have some muscle! How did you train your abs?"

Chen Xiao turned around and saw it was Shi Teng from the next class.

That bastard came from a privileged family, and relying on his good relationship with the student union vice president, he was arrogant and looked down on everyone.

This kind of person was the most annoying.

He acted as if he was joking, relying on their acquaintance, but in reality, there was a hint of contempt and insult.

If you got angry, he would say you couldn't take a joke; if you didn't, you'd have to suffer the immediate loss.

Most classmates chose to endure to maintain harmony among classmates.

But Chen Xiao naturally wouldn't; never mind a Shi Teng, what about a second-generation like Bai Haonan?

"Want to know how I trained them?" Chen Xiao asked.

Shi Teng was startled; although he was asking, he didn't want to know the answer, only to mock Chen Xiao.

"Ah, tell me."

Chen Xiao slightly bent his knees, held up his arms, and swung his hips back and forth, "Practice like this while looking at your wife's photo, the effect is really good."

Shi Teng froze, his jovial expression instantly turning grim.

"Holy f*ck! Am I giving you too much face?!"

Just then, Lei Yong, having changed into his swimming trunks, walked over and stood in front of Shi Teng, who immediately fell silent.

This big man was nearly 1.9 meters tall, with explosive muscles and scars all over his body, clearly a tough guy.

Chen Xiao originally didn't want to be too arrogant, but some people were just so tactless; when you're in the jianghu, you can't help yourself.

He stepped forward and slapped Shi Teng across the face.

"I hope this is the last time I hear you curse at me. If there's a next time, I'll make you cry on your knees!"
