Chapter 594: Parting (1/2)
After the awards, Lei Shan announced the remaining two matters, namely the graduation and the establishment of a new training course. Although preparations for their implementation had been made, the announcement still caused an uproar among the students. However, Lei Shan didn’t give them time to be shocked because what they now lacked the most was time!
The awards conference was on the first day, so the latest that the graduates had to leave would be early the next day as that same afternoon was when the training course would be formally established. The current state of Starnet was intense, they simply had no time to rest.
This departure would be most hurtful to Bai Xiaofei until now. Some close to him would be leaving his side for a long time…
Chu Liuyun did not leave Bai Xiaofei’s room that night. They lay in bed embracing each other, recounting what had happened between them, from meeting to getting to know each other, then to becoming an item. Their talk started from laughter and ended with tears, from full of energy to falling asleep…
When Bai Xiaofei woke up, Chu Liuyun brought him breakfast for the last time. Under her gaze, he finished the porridge bowl spoon by spoon until there wasn’t a grain left.
“Let’s go, they are all waiting.” Reaching out her hand towards Bai Xiaofei, Chu Liuyun wore the same smile as when they first met. Entranced, Bai Xiaofei felt that he had returned to the day when he had first set foot into the Demon of Illusions.
“Mhm…” Gently, he took her hand. The soft touch sent an electric current through his fingertips.
Pulling Bai Xiaofei along, Chu Liuyun skipped like a little girl along the way and reminisced about the scenery around with him. The place where Yun Sheng had been teased, the place where Leng Liushuang had been stung by bees, the place where she had peeked at Bai Xiaofei…
She easily recalled every bit of memory perfectly that was stored in her head as they walked all the way to the entrance of the academy. At that time, the area was already full of people.
The large send-off team formed by Hu Xian’er and Savage Class members was standing opposite the departees.
Yun Jingshuang graduated, and Han Qianye dropped out early for him. Yun Sheng also decided to leave with Yun Jingshuang after careful consideration. He knew what Yun Jingshuang was going to do upon returning home, and he wanted to share the responsibility with his brother.
“After I leave, no one can compete with you on the Command Ranking, but I hope you won’t stop training and brushing up on yourself.” Sima Ye’s farewell was quite distinctive, but it was a little odd…
“Compete with me? Forget it. You leaving is just one less person that’d find me to be bullied,” said Bai Xiaofei arrogantly.
The people around were instantly nervous as the atmosphere felt like it was going to erupt. But as they were gulping, the two main characters suddenly burst out laughing at the same time.
“One day!”
“We’ll meet again on the battlefield!”
“A gentleman’s words!”
“Can’t be taken back!”
Their hands clasped together, the two men made a vow. When Sima Ye turned around to leave, everyone could clearly see the slight smile at the corner of his mouth.
“I’m not as stupid as Sima Ye. I don’t want to fight you again in my life. If you two really fight, though, remember to call me. I’ll help you handle that guy!” Su Yu came forward. He was no longer the cold and aloof man in the past but had become an approachable big brother.
Bai Xiaofei had made him realize his own shortcomings, and the celebration activity sanded away his edges. The honor of a Starnet Brilliance was the fruit of his experiences. Su Yu had gone through a complete change!
“I’ll remember this. If you ever go back on your word, I will talk bad about you everywhere!” Bai Xiaofei ‘solemnly threatened’ and earned a round of laughter from all around.
