LRAB Chapter 35 Feelings for Her
Chapter 35 Feelings for Her
Qian Yuhan read the entire contents of the letter.
He smiled to himself, thinking to himself: This "snow" is quite interesting.
Qian Yuhan took out the magical letter from the envelope that had been placed aside.
Qian Yuhan stared at the letter, shocked: Was this letter so cold?!
He picked up a pen and began writing a reply.
In the letter, Qian Yuhan recounted her encounter with Dai Shengxi when she first arrived at school, the other three oddballs in dormitory 101, and her interactions with Fang Ya during today's friendly match. She also expressed her extreme disgust at the behavior of powerful and influential children of officials who arbitrarily bully others, among other thoughts.
After writing the reply, fold the letter neatly and put it in the mailbox before going to class tomorrow morning.
After finishing writing, Qian Yuhan climbed into her bed, stared at the ceiling for a while, and then fell asleep without realizing it.
……
The first semester at the academy passed quickly. Every day was the same routine: mornings spent circulating soul power for a small cycle of cultivation, followed by a day of classes with roommates in the teaching building. In the evenings, sometimes we'd meet up with the 101 brothers at the Soul Arena for soul battles. On weekends when there were no classes, the 101 dorm would invite Hu Lin'er, Fang Ya, and a few other male friends to go out together.
Two months passed like this. During this time, Dai Shengxi would still bother Qian Yuhan from time to time, and Vina continued to harass Fang Ya as before.
Qian Yuhan wasn't without temper; she simply chose to suppress it. In Qian Yuhan's mind, such a person would inevitably pay the price for their actions.
Mu Chen also constantly encouraged Fang Ya, letting her know that this academy wasn't just about the dark side; the care and mutual support from good friends were the truly beautiful and precious things in the academy, and she already had them.
Over the past two months, Fang Ya has gradually come to understand the genuine dedication of her good friends, including Mu Chen, and has become more cheerful and optimistic.
Mu Chen's soul power increased from level 29 to level 32, and he obtained his third soul ring, becoming a Soul Master.
Tang Xuan also found a girlfriend; although she wasn't as pretty as Hu Lin'er and Fang Ya, she wasn't far off. His soul power level cultivation had reached level 29, just one step away from breaking through.
Tang Chen continued living the same way as before, only occasionally uttering a word or two. His soul power level improved the fastest among everyone, breaking through from level 27 to level 31 and reaching the Soul Master level in two months! He had just obtained a third soul ring of four thousand years a month ago.
During these two months, Qian Yuhan focused solely on consolidating himself, raising his soul power from level 32 to level 34.
Everyone in Dormitory 101 except Tang Xuan has reached the Soul Master level. Hu Lin'er has touched the bottleneck of her breakthrough, and it will be a matter of days before she breaks through.
Meanwhile, Qian Yuhan and "Xue" continued their correspondence for the past two months without interruption, as if they had endless things to say to this mysterious pen pal.
Qian Yuhan also developed different feelings for Hu Lin'er. After spending time together, he discovered that Hu Lin'er's family had some background, but she didn't have the airs of a rich girl at all. She often did her best to help some students from poor families in the academy who had good aptitude and came to seek knowledge and training.
Qian Yuhan saw all of this, and her opinion of Hu Lin'er changed from when they first met.
Qian Yuhan wasn't sure if he had fallen for her. He couldn't be sure of his own feelings and was afraid that he might misunderstand Hu Lin'er's intentions in a moment of passion and end up not even being able to remain friends. This feeling of uncertainty had been bothering Qian Yuhan lately.
Qian Yuhan also communicated with "Xue" in the letter, but "Xue" did not talk about it much, and each time it was basically just a brief mention.
On November 9th, 8028 of the Douluo Calendar, a simple Friday afternoon, Zhou Yue gave a pep talk to the students of Class 11 before the end of get out of class for the next midterm outdoor combat exercise after finishing her classes for the day.
"Children, next Friday is the Spirit Hall Academy's most unique outdoor combat training activity. This activity is held every year, and the academy will assign everyone to different places according to their grade level and strength. This time, we're going to Sunset Forest."
Upon hearing the name: Sunset Forest?! The Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire?!
"According to the rules, you can cross classes. I see that everyone in our class has already formed teams and completed the exercises. Just be prepared. This is your first outdoor combat drill, so don't be afraid. The academy has chosen a location for you, so as long as you don't wander off, you won't be in any danger. Don't worry about that. By the way, several people in our class have already broken through to the Soul Venerable level, which is great. Those who haven't broken through yet, don't worry. This activity is an opportunity for you to improve and break through your bottlenecks, so make the most of it. Okay, that's all for now, get out of class dismissed!"
As soon as the command to end get out of class was given, everyone scattered.
Qian Yuhan and Hu Lin'er walked side by side in the corridor of the teaching building. Qian Yuhan said to Hu Lin'er:
"Lin'er, you must seize this opportunity; it's a great chance for a breakthrough."
Qian Yuhan and Hu Lin'er's relationship was practically on the verge of becoming romantic; in this world, there was no such thing as puppy love. However, Qian Yuhan was still adjusting, trying to find the answer to whether their relationship was better as friends or lovers.
Hu Lin'er laughed and said, "What, you have so little confidence in me? For me, breaking through is a piece of cake."
If it were someone like Vina saying "this young lady," Qian Yuhan would feel disgusted, but if it were Hu Lin'er saying it, it would feel different, like—playful.
What were his feelings for her? Qian Yuhan now vaguely felt that she had some answers.
Hu Lin'er understood Qian Yuhan's hesitation and was therefore understanding, not in a hurry for him to make a decision. This allowed Qian Yuhan to put aside his burdens and think carefully about their relationship.
But Hu Lin'er herself had a struggle, a struggle unknown to others, a struggle that belonged only to herself.
After finishing dinner, Qian Yuhan and Hu Lin'er returned to their dormitory. They saw Tang Xuan grinning foolishly, and Tang Chen standing next to him, looking speechless at Tang Xuan's silly grin.
"Big brother, this—"
"Xiaoyue (Tang Xuan's girlfriend) just gave him a gift, and he's been so happy about it for almost half an hour..."
"Sigh, men who fall in love," Qian Yuhan said, looking at Tang Xuan who was grinning foolishly.
"Don't talk about others, aren't you the same way with Hu Lin'er?" Tang Chen teased without any emotion.
"Uh, my relationship with Lin'er, I—"
"I just don't understand what you're still thinking about. If you like someone, why don't you just confess boldly?!"
Qian Yuhan: Shall we boldly confess our feelings?
