Extra Lessons

Hanlai squinted his eyes, arms crossed, casting a hostile sideways glance at Steward Jin—a look that could only come from a recent quarrel, perhaps even a fight. In truth, Xu Yuwei, once suppressed by her family, gradually let her wild nature loose upon reaching her final year of high school. She’d had many boyfriends before; her attraction to Su Hao was nothing more than a fleeting interest in his brief brilliance, a desire to try something new.

Returning to his own dormitory, Zhou Yang quickly changed and washed his clothes. He had to admit, it had been quite an exhausting day! Although the emergency pipe repairs were temporarily complete, they’d have to wait until the next day to be sure there were no lingering issues.

As for the move Sang Yu called out earlier—“C Corridor”—at first glance, it seemed merely a shot with a C-shaped trajectory. Like before, it utilized the centrifugal force as the ball left the racket, imparting a fierce spin to achieve its purpose.

Wei Zhexing choked up, covering his distressed face with a trembling hand. All around, the crowd cheered and jeered, while the music played over and over, relentless.

All the way, Bai Lu didn’t stop once. Even at her fastest, it took a full quarter of an hour before she returned to the Fragrant Sleeves Pavilion.

Chu Dadai could only look on helplessly as the other party brazenly made a move in public, so furious he could barely contain himself.

Qian Wan sat on a stone bench, lightly swaying her paper fan. From time to time she caught snippets of local gossip from those around her, occasionally reaching out for a chestnut.

The buildings, previously hacked to ribbons by Gong Ming, gradually restored themselves to their original state. The toppled wall at the torii gate stood upright once more. The monsters hiding throughout the palace let out shrill death-cries, only to be drowned out by the slicing wind.

In just a short while, Fuji’s figure had completely vanished. Irie frowned slightly, glancing at the seemingly innocent Eiji Kikumaru beside him. His gaze then fell to the sleeve being tugged by the boy. For an instant, white light flashed across his glasses, and the depths of his eyes grew pensive.

Yet the kiss that had just landed on her forehead felt impossibly real. Held tightly in the man’s arms, she could feel the heat of his heartbeat through his shirt, pressing against her cheek. The familiar scent on him filled her with an unshakable sense of security.

After resolving the internal matters of the Assault Battalion, Sun Qian went to the American military headquarters the very next day. He needed to fight for the battalion’s future.

Your father was gifted from birth. Hospital tests revealed his sperm to be of exceptionally high quality, making conception unusually easy.

For quite some time, they had been scheming to restore their dominion over humanity.

However, the ball at Li Lei’s feet was far from idle. With a sudden overhead kick, he sent it crashing straight into the robot’s head.

Yun Nuo glared for a few seconds, then, deflated, pouted and was about to sit down and rest on a nearby bench when she saw Zhou Chongyue reach out, methodically rearranging the disordered instruments on the table. Without a word, he began stitching and tying off the “wound.”

“Coach, if there’s nothing else, I need to get to the hospital. My child is still waiting for me.” Li Lei’s eyes brimmed with sorrow.

After finishing her call with Li Li, she turned around to find Jiang Cheng, who had appeared at some point, peeling shrimp with focused attention.

“Heh,” Yun Xi covered her mouth with a light laugh, the bright sound drilling into Minister Chu’s ears like a wicked spell, making him feel physically ill.

If that’s the case, what right do you have to discuss this matter with me at all?

“You keep insisting I investigate, and so I have,” Xu Zheng said, retrieving the forced confession from his breast and staring at Su Qin with a sinister smile.

Yet there was no mention here of what would happen after understanding the origin, as if it was assumed one could easily break through Zulwin’s blockade. This alone proved just how powerful she had once been.

Ning Feng glanced around, then leaped straight into a row of wardrobes in the corner of the room. It was a large, four-door wardrobe, filled with clothes. Unless all the doors were opened at once, even opening two might not reveal him at all.

At last, she heard the familiar prompt—the remaining alien creatures, even those not yet eliminated by contestants or their servants, suddenly vanished one by one. It seemed the system had decided to lighten their burden in this regard; otherwise, having to clear out every last straggler would have been a real nuisance.

With Hasegawa Jugo’s exit, Ella finally breathed easy. On this battlefield, she now reigned supreme. No matter how strong Du Yenhang might be, she was determined to claim the final victory.

As she spoke, tears welled in Tian Jie’s eyes. She was the homeroom teacher for these children, who had grown up under her watchful care, as if she were their mother. After four years together, they were about to leave, and her heart was filled with reluctance.

“I’m not afraid, but this is a lawless zone. Just to be safe, we should steer clear—and we still have five days left, plenty of time to take a detour,” Ye Zi’ang said.

Not far off, a man a few years older glanced over at Lu Qingyuan and her companions, a faint smile curving his lips.

An old man, around sixty, stroked his handlebar mustache—a shrewd, calculating type if ever there was one. He was the master in charge of budgeting and measurements.

“So you still need a vast quantity of materials, or the refining process simply won’t work?” Cai Zijin asked, surprised and helpless. Gathering such an abundance of materials would be no easy feat.

That evening, Chen Jianye returned from the factory, covered in dust from head to toe, his hair a chalky white.

Tang Yi’an still wore a faint smile, calm and gentle on the surface, yet his gaze toward Huo Yanxing was sharp as a blade, his words direct as he addressed him.

New sheets, bedding, daily necessities, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar—even a brand-new set of bowls and chopsticks had been purchased.
