Jiang Chao was on the verge of tears…
He sensed the dangerous aura Zhang Che was emitting. He really wished a pair of wings would sprout from his back and fly away from here.
-Would you get beaten to death if you hit on a girl in front of her boyfriend? Waiting online, urgent!-
“Uhm, little, no, big brother!” Jiang Chao really wanted to slap himself dead right now. In his moment of anxiety, he nearly shouted his inner thoughts out loud, -I really didn’t know Huang Tielan had a boyfriend! If I knew that, I would never harass her, even if I get beaten to death!-
“One should admit his mistakes, and stand firm when getting beat! It’s my fault; it’s all my fault! Do you want me to scram horizontally or vertically, just say the word and I’ll disappear from your sight immediately!” Jiang Chao smiled in embarrassment, nodding and bending his waist.
Zhang Che was really speechless. This guy was simply shameless. Could he really beat him up?
If he did, perhaps his fecal matter would splash out!
“Go, go! I won’t be so nice if I see you harassing my girlfriend again,” Zhang Che waved his hand. Jiang Chao hurriedly thanked him and turned to run.

After running far away, the smile on Jiang Chao’s face disappeared. What took its place was a hint of doubt and seriousness. “As expected of the top university in Hua Xia. Hidden dragons and crouching tigers are lurking around; I actually ran into such a strong guy my age! Tsk, tsk. In that case, don’t I have to be more careful when picking up girls from now on?”
Suddenly, he looked at the personal terminal on his wrist, and accepted the voice call request from Qin Zhou. After hearing a few words, his face changed and revealed an incomparably excited look.
“Hehe, studying is indeed meaningless. Pretty girls from Bei Du, let’s meet again some time later!”
—-
“I couldn’t tell. It seems our Miss Tienan is pretty popular in school!” Zhang Che teased, looking at Huang Tielan with a smile.
“Hur hur, not as popular as you. You even managed to hook up with a female teacher on your first day here,” she retorted, sticking her chest out proudly. Zhang Che couldn’t help but swallow a mouthful of saliva at seeing this, thinking to himself, -Her personality changed quite a bit after slimming down. She even knows to tempt me now.-
Regretfully, he could only see but not touch. He had to wait until their wedding. Who knew when would that day be…
“Let’s go. I don’t have any classes in the afternoon. I can bring you around the school. A pity that you have no intention of continuing your studies, or we could take walks here frequently.”
Huang Tielan took two steps forward and took the initiative to grab his arm.
Zhang Che sighed inwardly, then said gently, “I’m sorry that I don’t have much time to accompany you.”
Miss Tienan giggled, “It’s fine. I’m just saying it. If I saw you here every day, maybe I might even get tired of you.”
“Hmm, Huang Tienan, I think you’ve really changed.”
“Really? I think so too; I seem to be putting on weight again. Do you think I will become like before?” Huang Tielan giggled sweetly and let go of Zhang Che’s arm, turning two full circles in front of him.
Now that she mentioned it, Zhang Che really felt that Miss Tienan seemed to be a little fuller than the first few days when he returned.
It was said that once an overweight person slimmed down, if they were in a great mood and neglected to watch what they eat, a rebound effect would occur. Could it be that Miss Tienan’s body belonged to this type as well?
Of course, Zhang Che would never say that.
“Nah, our Miss Tienan’s figure is great. You won’t balloon up again.”
“You don’t mean what you say!” Huang Tielan pursed her lips. “Don’t worry, I’m watching what I’m eating very carefully and am working out properly. I definitely won’t be as fat as before… Aiya, but there’s so many delicacies in Bei Du that I haven’t eaten in years. What should I do if I can’t endure it?”
Zhang Che nodded without any hesitation, “Eat, then. It will be fine!”
“Hah, count it as you passed!” Huang Tielan smiled as beautifully as a flower. She walked up and grabbed onto Zhang Che’s arm again, when she suddenly noticed he was looking at his left wrist, his brow slightly furrowed.
“What happened? Did auntie look for you for something?”
Zhang Che raised his hand and looked again. His complexion changed slightly, turning to Huang Tielan and saying, “It’s not my mom. It’s your dad.”
“Ah? Why would my dad look for you? Didn’t you just come from my house?” Huang Tielan was confused. She truly couldn’t imagine what matter existed that her father would look for Zhang Che at this time.
Zhang Che smiled, “We’ll know after we hear it from him.” As he said that, he accepted the voice call request from Huang Juyun.
“Xiaoche, come back quickly. I have something important to tell you.” Huang Juyun’s voice was very serious, yet contained a hint of excitement.
-Could it be related to that golden lotus?- Zhang Che couldn’t help but think of that. He thought that it was unlikely. He just brought it back today; how could they possibly have discovered its medical effects so soon?
Before Zhang Che could ask Huang Juyun, Huang Tielan suddenly leaned in and said in a dissatisfied, coquettish tone, “What’s the matter, dad? Wait a little if it’s not important. I’m taking a walk with Zhang Xiaoche right now.”
Huang Juyun was silent on the other end…
Zhang Che felt cold sweat pouring down on him. -Will future father-in-law beat me up when I return?-
He hurriedly replied, “Uncle Huang, I’ll come back immediately!”
Huang Juyun wouldn’t have looked for him if it wasn’t something important. Not only that, he didn’t clarify what the matter was about on the phone, either. It should be a confidential matter; the fewer who knew about it, the better.
“Mhm, I’m waiting for you,” Huang Juyun replied evenly and quickly ended the call.
“Aiya, how annoying! He’s actually not telling me!” Huang Tielan stamped her feet habitually. However, it was no longer like before, when the earth would tremble violently.
Zhang Che raised his hand and touched Huang Tielan’s cheek, smiling apologetically, “Alright, I’m heading back first. I’ll come visit you again next time.”
Huang Tielan came up closer, reluctant to part ways, and pecked Zhang Che on the lips. Afterwards, she waved her hand. “Go on, it should be something important if dad is looking for you. Don’t make him wait.”
Zhang Che nodded and pulled Miss Tienan into his embrace, hugging her, then turned around and walked out of the school.
He had a feeling that the matter his future father-in-law was looking for him for was not simple. Perhaps some anomaly had appeared on Mercury, or some important changes occurred in a beast world somewhere.

After walking out of Bei Du University’s school gates, Zhang Che flagged down a taxi at the entrance and sped off towards the Huang family’s ancestral home in the eastern sector.
At the same time, all the talented youngsters in the entire Hua Xia region, or even all of Mercury, received extremely confidential orders, one after another.
Even those who went into the depths of the beast world to train themselves had someone go in to look for them.
The ordinary citizens, and most beastmasters, had no idea that a huge tide was rising in the dark…
