Chapter 101: Future III

In the end, before finishing the bowl of vermicelli soup, Jun Weiran flicked his sleeves and left.

The sound of the door slamming.

The private room door was thrown open, leaving the Ming siblings staring at the steaming duck blood vermicelli soup.

Ming Yue didn't shout.

Ming Ye handed his sister a pair of chopsticks. "Sit down, eat."

Ming Yue was speechless. "Brother, what's wrong with you?"

"Inviting Jun Ge out was originally to give him a chance to talk things through."

"But you, you're like a machine gun."

After saying this, he took the chopsticks.

Ming Ye poured vinegar into the bowl. "Do you think he didn't listen?"

"I don't think so."

"Do you want vinegar?"

"Yes." Ming Yue obediently handed him the bowl and didn't say anything else.

"Everything has its fate."

"Don't always worry about matters that don't concern you," Ming Ye said casually, as if the years of childhood friendship with the Jun family were just smoke, completely gone.

Ming Yue: "......"

Ming Yue gave a forced smile. "At least they were childhood neighbors."

Ming Ye: "Neighbors are a relative geographical relationship. Whoever lives across the door is a neighbor."

"You were so enthusiastic. Don't you remember that when Jun Yuan Shan was still alive, he didn't let you get close to Jun Weiran?"

Ming Yue poked at the duck liver with her chopsticks. "I remember."

"My cousin from the Li family even fought for me because of this."Ming Ye coldly said, "Or, you want to demonstrate with real actions that once a girl is married, she's like spilled water? You can, too."

Ming Yue exploded in an instant: "What are you saying, brother!"

"Am I the kind of shameless person?"

She looked like this.

Like a red onion that could burst with a single poke.

Ming Ye leisurely thought, teasing: "Do you think I can't tell you've secretly had feelings for Jun Weiran?"

"Your brother doesn't have the yin-yang eyes, but he's not blind either."

Ming Yue: "......"

Ming Yue tried to endure the shame of her wounds being exposed, seriously defending herself: "Well, yes, it happened."

"But the past is the past, and the present is the present."

Ming Ye twirled his chopsticks. "So, what is the 'present'?"

Ming Yue looked up at the sky, then at the ground, completely unwilling to admit anything.

Ming Ye observed her expression— lively yet with a hint of shyness. She genuinely didn’t care, not pretending she didn’t. Ming Ye was finally reassured, teasing: "Should I go find Li Xianzhou and ask him to do a home visit?"

Mentioning this topic.

Ming Yue chewed on her vermicelli, glanced at Ming Ye sideways, and mumbled: "Brother, just keep pretending."

"Li Xianzhou knows everything about our situation."

"Do you really not know who I've been close to recently?"

Praising him for his insightful predictions and detailed information.

Ming Ye visibly enjoyed the compliment from Ming Yue, gently saying, "Finish what's in your mouth before speaking."

"What does that look like?"

Ming Yue: "......"Ming Yue shrank her neck, "Oh, old-fashioned."

Ming Ye：“What?”

Ming Yue quickly swallowed, "Nothing, nothing."

"Praising you for your wisdom and insight, extensive knowledge, and fame that spreads far and wide, known by everyone."

It sounded like one of the four pests, Ming Ye pondered.

"Is this your class leader?"

"This restaurant's vermicelli soup is really good, the taste is rich and there's plenty of meat."

"There is no prominent family with the surname Yan."

"Mm! The meat-filled buns are also delicious!"

"However, in the imperial capital, there is an old man named Yan Sheng, the founder of a real estate company." Ten years ago, he was fortunate enough to have seen him once in Jinling City.

"Slurp, slurp~"

"I’m not sure about the few old quadrangle courtyards of the Li family, but the new villa they live in is actually built on Yan family land, what a coincidence."

"...What?!" Ming Yue couldn't keep up anymore.

Ming Ye, relaxed and composed: "Aren't you eating vermicelli?"

"Keep eating."

Ming Yue froze, "You win."

"That's right, it’s him, but it’s a closed matter, don’t dig too deep into it, big shot."

"Is the villa of Bird Sun's family really built on Yan Jun's land?"

Ming Ye: "Watch your language, Ming Yue."

Ming Yue: "…Alright, Cousin Li Hesu."

Ming Ye: "I don't need to lie to you about this."

Ming Yue relaxed her back against the chair, slapped her forehead: "…The world is really small."Ming Ye tentatively asked, "If you don’t mind, you can tell me about Yan Jun, so I can also feel that the world is really small."

Ming Yue pouted, "I mind, thank you."

Ming Ye: "Then I'll drive and park inside your dorm building later, use a loudspeaker to call out Yan Jun’s name, and whichever one answers will be the one."

"Anyway, the dorms in the Spirit-Sealing Institute are mixed-gender dorms, I know that."

Ming Yue: "!!!"

Ming Yue, in disbelief: "How could you do this!"

Ming Ye: "What did you think?"

"Jin Da is right across the street. How could I not find someone?"

Ming Yue: "…"

The siblings stared at each other for a minute, with the steam rising from the vermicelli soup in front of them.

Ming Yue immediately backed down: "No... I can’t deal with you like this... It hasn’t even started yet."

Ming Ye fiddled with his chopsticks: "How do you figure?"

"Is there still someone who doesn't want you?"

Ming Yue: "…"

The way he said that, am I money or something?

Ming Yue: "It’s not about the class leader, it’s about me."

"I just... haven’t fully adjusted mentally yet."

"Just now—" she pointed at the bowl of soup from Jun Wei Ran, implying how recently it had ended, "—I could’ve switched tracks right away, I’d be like a fairy then."

"It’s just... giving a relatively close psychological distance... that’s all."

Ming Ye stared at his sister.

Unlike the amber-colored pupils of girls, a man’s irises were dark with a hint of gray, and you couldn’t feel that they were “vibrantly alive.”Ming Ye: "I remember, your Chinese exam score wasn't bad."

Ming Yue opened her mouth: "…So?"

Ming Ye: "Why is your ability to summarize so poor?"

"A backup is just a backup, sounds so fresh and unconventional."

"And the psychological distance is close," Ming Ye sneered, sarcasm at max, hitting his little sister without mercy.

Ming Yue’s face instantly turned as red as a crushed tomato.

"It's not!" she waved her hands randomly.

"It doesn't exist, doesn’t exist, calling someone a backup is too shameless!"

"It’s just that me and Jun Wei Ran have no future, there’s no such thing as settling for less!"

Ming Ye’s tone was playful: "So it’s the main option?"

Damn.

Ming Yue was speechless: "Brother, you’re someone with great experience, a big shot both above and below ground."

"Is there really only two values in things: 0 and 100?" As soon as the words left her mouth, Ming Yue realized what she had just said.

Ming Ye stared at her, not answering immediately.

From start to finish.

For the past two months, Ming Yue had been secretly investigating the grudges and kinship between the Ming family’s past and present generations, including the tragic deaths of her parents, the records of debts and grudges in the Underworld, and her brother’s dealings with King Yan—all of which she had done "behind Ming Ye’s back."

The atmosphere during the meal was relaxed and casual.

Inadvertently, she had let something slip.

...Whether she was doing it "behind his back" or not, at least on the surface, Ming Yue and Ming Ye had never clashed verbally.

Of course, when the matter began, Ming Yue had already prepared herself when she asked Zhou Lu for the details—Zhou Lu and Ming Ye were so close, he would probably be the first to know even if Ming Yue farted. How could Zhou Lu not have secretly informed Ming Ye when things were so earth-shattering, especially in front of the family ancestral tablets?

Moreover...And also in the City of Wrongful Deaths, Bai Wuchang's very "Ming Ye"-like speech.

Ming Yue guessed that, nine times out of ten, her progress on the Ming family’s record of debts and grudges was completely under Ming Ye’s control.

It was possible that the City of Wrongful Deaths overhearing the conversations of King Ping equal wasn’t really "eavesdropping."

Ming Er-ge: Heh, the spider demon, loves to weave webs, hehe.

It sounded good.

However, the current confrontation with the living Yama had an extraordinary power that crushed Ming Xiao Yue’s three-centimeter thick confidence.

Ahead, there was a second round of eye contact between the siblings.

Ming Yue: Not sure what to say, let me just cut to the chase.

Finally, Ming Ye withdrew his gaze, amused, and spared his timid little sister.

"I of course understand, most things in the world are about a 60-70% standard."

"Zero and 100 are both rare," Ming Ye said.

Ming Yue mumbled: "Then why the backup and main options…"

Ming Ye: "But that’s external. Has your inner balance tipped?"

Ming Yue, upon hearing this, seriously mulled over it for a while, then nodded: "It’s tipped."

Ming Ye nodded, "Then that’s the main option."

"Alright, this afternoon, I’ll go to your academy and look for that kid to practice."

Ming Yue: "……"

Ming Yue was almost kneeling in fear from her brother’s abrupt way of saying things: "What are you doing?!"

"Big shot, please spare him! Yan Jun is just a mortal!"

Ming Ye laughed: "Hearing you say that, I want to deal with him even more."

Ming Yue immediately exploded with a full 360-degree Thomas spin: "Ming Ye!""I’m angry!"

It was rare to see her so firm.

Ming Ye laughed aloud.

"Alright, alright, you can barely call that a start."

"Want to test, test. Want to delay, delay."

"Anyway, no matter who my sister chooses, they won’t be unworthy."

Ming Yue was moved in her heart but scoffed, "It’s too early."

"What are you saying?"

"I’m not even twenty, still haven’t started sophomore year, older brother."

"Dating? No rush, take it slow."

Ming Ye’s tone was somewhat sighing: "Yeah, you’re already twenty."

Ming Er-ge felt that his tone didn’t match with the older brother vibe, so he fiddled with his fingers and didn’t continue the conversation.

A moment of silence.

Ming Yue quietly asked, "Brother, what’s this about the Spirit Medium Association in the Imperial Capital requiring the Ghost-Slaying Bureau to help organize the Underworld's data?"

Ming Ye poured water for his sister, "The request here was just added in."

"The Underworld also needs to keep up with the times. The Reincarnation Pool is reliable, but the data capacity in the new era exceeds expectations."

"Our ten Yama Lords discussed it. Before reincarnation, we will create a procedure with manpower, using the power of the mortal realm to build an Underworld database. After verifying the data, we will infuse it into the Reincarnation Pool."

"This way, we can avoid the situation where the Reincarnation Pool might burst."

Ming Yue’s eyes lit up as she listened: "Not bad, not bad, good idea!"

"But this will slow down the reincarnation cycle."

"Let it be slower."

"There are fewer believers in the world, even fewer after the millennium. I don’t mind that they don’t believe in Taoism but still help souls reincarnate. I consider it enough to have done my best."Ming Ye said coldly.

Ming Yue shrank back: "That’s true."

"Older brother, who did you partner up with for this?"

"Can I help?"

Ming Ye pinched the bridge of his nose: "The Fifth Hall, Ninth Hall, and Second Hall. They’re the ones."

"We were all in it together back then."

"There are a few neutral ones, but they haven’t been notified yet."

"And you?"

"Focus on learning first."

"When the Underworld database is built, the Spirit Medium Association and the Underworld will definitely have to establish a new institution, with branches everywhere to collect the souls' information."

"If you want, you could try applying for a position after graduation."

Ming Yue was in awe: "Big shot, big shot."

"Just clapping your hands and you can create an institution, my brother is really a giant."

Ming Ye chuckled: "Your brother has always been one."

Ming Yue walked over and flattered him by massaging his shoulders. The moment she touched them, they were freezing cold.

"You’ve even arranged my post-graduation position."

"Wait, is it a clerical job?"

"Then I’m not going."

Ming Ye teased her: "You can’t live without fighting, can you?"

Ming Yue pouted: "I’m just like dad, what do you think?"

"I can’t sit still either."Ming Ye: "No rush, take your time."

"The time is still long."

"Your academy should first gather the information from the few provinces in the southern part of Huaxia before proceeding."

Yes.

There is still plenty of time.

Ming Yue murmured this sentence, feeling comforted in her heart.

"Brother." She kept talking.

"My ghost-slaying master certificate is almost ready." She said while massaging his shoulders.

Ming Ye responded with a hum: "I know."

"On the Ghost-Slaying Master registry for the Yang world, your name has already appeared."

Ming Yue’s heart leaped with joy, "Just like dad, I’m inheriting the family business."

"In the future, I’ll be very strong and capable, I can protect you."

Ming Ye, for once, did not mock her, and with his eyes closed, he replied:

"Alright, I’ll wait."

"Waiting for you to protect me."

The Ming family’s first seventy-one generations were all ghost-slaying heroes, their footsteps scattered across the north and south of Huaxia.

The seventy-second generation nearly faced extinction, leaving only one child to inherit the family legacy and resume the long path of ghost-slaying.

Let every ancestor bear witness.

This generation, Ming Er will do his best to live well and act properly, repay his father and brothers' karma, and accumulate blessings for Ming Ye.

For this entire life, I will not go back on my oath.

Ming Yue silently vowed in her heart.Ming Ye: "By the way." He was enjoying the shoulder massage and casually said, "Do you think the Yan Jun family can accept a second son with a maternal surname?"

Ming Yue paused: "…"

"Why are you being such a busybody, Lord Yan Wang!" Ming Er Ge jumped, his face turning red.

Extra. Lingyuan Yi Nuan Wang Completed

Yan Jun felt something was off today.

All the classmates he met spoke to him with a look in their eyes that seemed like they wanted to say something but were holding back, and a tone that seemed to try to cover up something.

"Hey, thanks for the internship form, class monitor... do you know the arrangements for tonight?"

"Huh? You don't know?"

"2333, it's fine, it’s fine. If anyone calls you tonight, just remember to show up!"

Yan Jun: "…"

Holding the thick internship form in his hand, Yan Jun was confused.

What’s wrong with these people today?

They’re about to start their senior year.

The afterlife database, which had been in preparation for two years, went online in the Yang world six months ago. The afterlife and the ghost-slaying masters officially established a third-party organization, the Reincarnation Bureau, which directly managed the database.

In an instant, ghost-slaying academies in all universities were spreading the word.

The new organization was opening, and the September campus recruitment would be its first hiring event. It’s easy to imagine that the senior students graduating this year had just received the big prize from the sky.

The students were also gossiping about it.

"I heard that the Reincarnation Bureau has ‘two heads of the family,’ and both the underworld and the Yang world sent leaders?"

"It seems so. From the underworld, it’s a few Yan Wang, and from the Yang world, it’s the merits of various ghost-slaying academies."

"Merits?"

"Yeah, like... many are heroes from the internal strife in the underworld decades ago, some even have limps or are blind.""Can this really be managed well?"

"Why not? Yang Guo could use a sword with one hand."

"Senior brothers and sisters are so lucky, graduating and immediately getting into the new organization."

"Yeah, looks like they'll be picked up and sent to their jobs in droves, hahahahaha."

The seniors grabbed the big employment cake, and the juniors could take advantage of it and get a taste of the gravy.

This year, the ghost-slaying academy overhauled all the courses, extending the previously six-month required internship period to a full year, spanning the entire senior year.

However, in the first year of the curriculum change, the senior year courses hadn’t yet adapted, so it turned into, “During the internship, attend classes when you have time.” As a result, ghost-slaying academies across universities formed alliances, allowing students from different internship locations to apply for nearby ghost-slaying academy courses.

Today was the day to review and approve the internship locations at the academy.

Ming Yue checked her internship form, clearly stating [Capital Eight Treasures / Mountain Reincarnation Bureau Substation].

Ming Er Ge couldn’t help but laugh.

"To die, to die, I’m going to guard the royal tombs of China, hahahaha."

"Alright, alright, I like this place."

Yan Jun looked at her and helped tuck a strand of hair behind her ear. "Indeed, what a coincidence."

Ming Yue hooked her arm around the class monitor’s shoulder, leaning into him. "Little brother, where are you interning?"

Yan Jun showed her his internship location, flipping it for her to see.

"Chang'an City First Emperor's Tomb Reincarnation Bureau Substation," Ming Yue read aloud.

"Strange, with the ancestor dragon guarding it, what could go wrong?"

"Maybe it’s the old ghosts from years ago. Didn’t they say there are no new ghosts in Chang'an?"

"With the seventy-two ancient sites layer, just cleaning up these old ones is probably going to take decades," Yan Jun speculated.

Ming Yue silently calculated the high-speed train travel time from Chang'an City to the Capital, nodding her head.

Yan Jun noticed she didn’t try to keep him, feeling a little disappointed, and changed the subject.

"I thought Ming Ye would leave you at the Ming Thirteen Tombs, for nearby internship supervision."Ming Yue scratched her nose. "He was planning on it."

"I had an argument with him, won the argument, and then he just randomly assigned me."

"—Don’t worry, I know you and he think alike. Working for the Reincarnation Bureau isn’t the same as being an ordinary ghost-slaying officer. Many tasks overlap with those of the Wuchang ghosts. I understand, the work of a ghost emissary is far heavier and more dangerous than that of the living."

Yan Jun nodded. "Ghost emissaries can't die a second time."

"And we can die once."

"This can’t be compared in terms of insurance."

Ming Yue chuckled.

"Class monitor, are you free tonight? 8 PM, the gymnasium."

Just as she was about to speak, Yan Jun swallowed his words about sorting the internship materials and instead said, "I am, what’s up?"

Earlier, the classmates had been hinting to him both subtly and openly that he had something to do tonight.

Yan Jun: A little excited.

Ming Yue said "Oh" and smiled brightly. "Nothing, I’m inviting you to play basketball."

Yan Jun: "...What kind of ball can you play? Didn’t you have no athletic talent and only know how to jog at night?"

In the dormitory.

As soon as Ming Yue opened the door, her two roommates, who had been eavesdropping against the door, almost fell into the stairs, flat on their faces.

Ming Yue quickly caught them.

Roommate Bai, excited: "So, does the class monitor have time?"

Ming Yue nodded.

An Xueru rubbed her waist as she stood up. "Wonderful, your long-running, difficult-to-forget drama is finally going to end."

Ming Yue grinned.The three girls were packing their internship luggage in the dormitory while chatting.

An Xueru started, "So, what do you really think, Ming-ge? Generally, isn't it the guy who speaks first in these situations?"

"You’re pretty independent, huh."

Ming Yue bent down and pulled out her suitcase. "He's really good, very good to me. When both hearts are in sync, it doesn't matter who speaks first."

"He liked me first. His feelings are deeper and longer-lasting, he invested more."

"Well, as a return, I’ll speak first."

An Xueru: "…"

"You always make sense, but—"

"Two years before things were settled."

"Yan Jun is probably going to be worn out by you."

Because I have to confirm that my older brother’s Reincarnation Bureau matters are finalized, and there won’t be any mess that harms him, before I can consider my own situation, Ming Yue thought. Out loud, she answered with an attitude that was totally carefree:

"I’m probably being worn out too."

"Think about it. I’ve been in school for three years, and I've had almost a hundred off-campus assignments. I sleep later than a dog and wake up earlier than a rooster. What love? I’ve got a cat’s disease."

"It’s fine to just get by without excitement. There are far more meaningful things in life than clinging to each other."

Bai Linlang spoke up for Ming Yue: "True, you’ve got a lot on your plate."

"Yan Jun’s got a lot on his plate too. Even if you two got together back in sophomore year, you still managed to make it seem like you were living long-distance even in the same dorm."

Ming Yue: "Right? See?"

An Xueru didn’t let her roommate off the hook. She was picking up clothes from the balcony and threw Ming Yue’s coat inside, hitting Ming-ge right on the forehead: "Wait, you’re dragging it out."

"Why’s your procrastination disease acting up now?"

Ming Yue tossed An Xueru’s storage bag back at her. "You’re the one who’s acting up."

"Internships, Chang'an and the Capital are still a bit far.""Just a little insurance."

The two roommates: "Oh—"

The two roommates: "I see now."

That evening at 7:30.

The gymnasium was covered in flowers. Those who were playing basketball stopped, those who were swimming stopped, and anyone who had heard the news rushed over to watch the excitement. Among the crowd, everyone was asking each other.

"Who is this, who is this? Why's the scene so big?"

"Seems like it's someone from the Spirit-Sealing Academy, the campus belle, right? Is her name Ming Yue?"

"Yeah, you’re right."

"Whoa, the world’s changed, even cabbage can be raised with pigs now!"

"Who’s to say otherwise? Their academy's campus belle is a real powerhouse."

"...Ugly?"

"No, no, that’s not what I meant. Ming Yue’s the type who’s stunningly beautiful. I’ve seen her, she’s definitely gorgeous. It’s just... think about the major she’s in and the job she’ll be doing in the future. This girl’s hands-on skills are top in the whole academy. She got her professional license in her freshman year. Her fieldwork completion rate is 100%. You really think she’s some delicate flower kept in a fish tank?"

"Which one? The ghost-slayer license where you fight and kill ghosts every day?"

"Exactly."

"Damn, how do you know so much?"

"Oh, the school newspaper did a feature on the campus belles, and the Spirit-Sealing Academy’s section had the longest write-up. Didn’t you guys read it?"

"What’s fieldwork? Sounds like security."

Before anyone could respond, a freshman volunteer from the Spirit-Sealing Academy who was helping to manage the event started speaking up:

"Senior, you don’t understand, huh."

"Our Spirit-Sealing Academy has brother schools all over the country, we help each other out whenever something happens."

"Among the academy’s fieldwork list, Senior Ming Yue has the highest number of fieldwork instances across the last ten generations!"The surrounding students: "Wow, that’s impressive!"

The first-year students puffed out their chests: "Is it really her?"

The surrounding students: "What’s the fieldwork like?"

A first-year student stammered, feeling it was hard to explain: "Well, digging holes, digging graves, killing ghosts," he said vaguely.

The surrounding students: "…"

This... Are we speaking the same language here?

The first-year student scanned the flower-filled scene, excitedly stomping his feet. "She's here! She's here! Senior Ming Yue’s here!"

The crowd that had been chattering immediately craned their necks to look over!

Three seconds later—

Student A: "Whoa, she really is pretty."

Student B: "You call that pretty? Your standards are so high."

Student C: "I think she could be considered the campus belle."

The volunteer laughed and said, "Well, yeah, her looks are totally fine, but Senior Ming Yue has a rough, tough personality. Maybe we should go for a more delicate campus belle."

Under the gaze of everyone, Ming Yue bowed in all directions to thank her academy mates for their support, then walked up to the podium with the microphone.

The surrounding students: "???"

Not long after, the brightly lit gymnasium, the main character had arrived.

As soon as Yan Jun stepped in, he almost got roasted by the ten thousand-watt lightbulb of everyone’s gaze.

Yan Jun: "…"

He had a feeling, and felt like laughing.

In the crowd, Jin Yuanbao screamed loudly:

"Yan Ge!! Ming Ge is on the second floor!"

"You finally made it!"Yan Jun greeted Jin Yuanbao, and as expected, saw the students from the 18th batch on the stands, all smiling and waving at him, with expressions full of affection.

Yan Jun: "…"

He nodded in acknowledgment.

Just as Jin Yuanbao finished speaking, Ming Yue’s voice echoed through the gymnasium’s speakers:

"Yuan Bao Ge, you’ve gained ten pounds from all the spoilers!"

"You’re already three sizes bigger than when I first met you in freshman year."

The entire room burst into laughter, and Jin Yuanbao made a zipper motion with his hands, signaling for everyone to be quiet.

Yan Jun focused on the second floor.

Ming Yue, with her shamelessness, showed no hesitation:

"Yan Jun, thank you for agreeing to play ball with me, coming to the gym at 8 o’clock."

"With your internship coming up, I really can’t feel at ease letting you go to Chang'an City surrounded by all those girls."

"—Hey, hey, can you hear me clearly?"

The students from the 18th batch of the Spirit Academy went wild:

"Ohhhh, class president! Someone's confessing their love to you!!!"

"Get together! Get together! 'Spirit Academy: Unforgettable' must end before I graduate!"

Yan Jun fought back a smile and shouted to the second floor:

"I’d be even more worried if I let you go into the high-wealth, handsome guy group in the capital, Ming Yue!"

"Yooooooo~~~"

The entire crowd immediately started cheering and chanting, creating a grand wave of excitement.

Ming Yue nodded, and her voice came through the speakers once more:

"Very well, our ideas have aligned.""My family situation, you know, there won't be any mother-in-law issues."

"Your family situation, with my brother overseeing things, and your parents being cultured people, everything’s peaceful."

"Next year, you’ll go to Chang'an, I’ll go to the capital. Though we’re both guarding the imperial tombs, it’s still a bit far apart."

"Ahem," Ming Yue paused, the crucial words on the tip of her tongue, but she realized it was really hard to say:

"Well, just... Yan Ge..."

"Wait a moment, let me find my script... Where did it go..."

On the stands, Bai Shichang and An Xueru nearly broke their knees from laughing:

"Damn it, this idiot, dropping the ball at the critical moment!"

"Didn't we make sure she had it memorized?"

"She's definitely nervous! Hahahahaha, we’ll laugh at her when we get back!!!"

Yan Jun’s face flushed red, smiling as he looked up at Ming Yue on the second floor.

"Ah, found it!" Ming Yue cheered herself on.

"Based on a mutual trust and benefit principle, before the twelve-month Reincarnation Division internship begins, dear 18th batch Yan Jun, would you be willing to take our deep friendship one step further?"

Yan Jun stood in the flower sea on the first floor and shouted, "Like what?"

Ming Yue quickly crumpled up the paper and threw it aside. She thought to herself that she really wanted to jump down and hug him. She quickly shouted:

"Like, how about being my boyfriend!"

"With marriage as the goal!"

"Wow—" The crowd erupted in cheers, the long-awaited romance drama finally reaching its climax!

The 18th batch, mixed among the crowd, screamed and exchanged excited words, banging on the walls for the most popular couple in the grade!

Yan Jun shouted: "I do!"

"Do you?"Ming Yue put down the microphone and shouted, like a little child, stretching her voice:

"I do!"

"Is it okay if the second child takes my surname!"

Yan Jun shouted back even louder: "I can!"

Ming Yue responded just as loudly: "Then I can too!"

The whole audience: "......"

"Damn! This is explosive!"

"Just confessed and quickly talking about having children, hahahahahaha!"

"Are all you Spirit-Sealing Academy people this direct? That's toxic, that's toxic."

"Exactly, just like this, hahahahaha!!!"

In the noisy crowd, Jin Yuanbao laughed enough, then turned to the side and nudged Jun Weiran, who had a cold expression.

"I told you not to come, but you insisted."

"Jun Ge, this scene is too intense."

Jun Weiran looked at the couple in the center of the scene, his eyes flickering.

"What's so intense about it?"

"You're saying something in between the lines."

Of course, I'm saying something in between the lines. After watching the ‘Unforgettable Spirit-Sealing Academy’ for years, how could I not know your situation with your roommate? Jin Yuanbao muttered to himself, "Yes, you're right."

"As a brother, I'm just afraid you'll stir up trouble and regret it."

Jun Weiran replied, "Regret what?"

"If your attitude had been this calm a few years ago, maybe Yan Ge wouldn't have had anything to do with it."Jin Yuanbao looked at him for a moment, "Alright, brother, I've said all I need to say. You better not regret it."

Jun Weiran smiled but didn't say anything.

The future is long.

But unfortunately, it's a future without Ming Yue.
