Chapter 620: Chapter 31: Dragon Rain & Heartless Man (Part 2)
Area C mostly has clear, cloudless skies, so it is rare to see clouds in the sky for one or two days a month. It’s no wonder that natural rainfall in Area C usually only occurs every three months or so.
After analyzing, Xuerou, under Xiao Xian’s assurance of being able to "create artificial rain," had no choice but to patiently wait.
As days passed, while waiting for the right weather for artificial rain, Zhang Yiyi also began learning robot fighting skills with Juliet One.
Describing the training, in Zhang Yiyi’s words, it can only be described as "brutal."
During the first week, Zhang Yiyi would return to the dorm with a bruised or swollen face.
The first day she would still grumble a bit, but in the following days, she didn’t even have the energy to complain.
Luckily, with the miraculous effects of Farmer Spring, no matter how severe her injuries were the previous day, she would always be able to go to class energetic and lively the next day.
"Yiyi is really like she’s been injected with chicken blood," after nearly a month of continuous waiting, on a certain night at the end of January, Xuerou did one final check after observing the weather and sunset temperature. While checking a mini seeding machine, she and Xiao Xian discussed it.
"It’s all because of your actions that day," tonight Xiao Xian will officially start her seeding plan, sorting out the backup crop seeds and some newly obtained grass seeds.
"My actions?" Xuerou didn’t remember doing anything to stimulate Yiyi, at most, she would deliver a few sentences more ruthless than the whip when Yiyi was about to give up.
"Remember the scene when Senior Wang Shuai came over?" Actually, according to Xiao Xian and Xuerou’s understanding of Yiyi, she’s a person who forgets the pain when the wound heals and wouldn’t persist for long, which was evident during her past basketball playing times.
The second day Xuerou moved into the dorm in Area C, Wang Shuai came looking for her, and after figuring out Wang Shuai’s identity, Xuerou didn’t hesitate, picked up the broom from the corner, and swept Wang Shuai and his fruit basket out the door.
Because of this, Yiyi was upset, feeling that Xuerou was too rude to her friend.
Xuerou didn’t get angry, instead, she analyzed all the people and events they encountered in the Huake Institute’s Reverse Genius Class.
When discussing Wang Shuai, Xuerou took a very opposing stance.
"In this world, apart from your parents, no one is kind to you for no reason. This saying is an iron law both outside and in the North Campus. North Campus is the battlefield for Cultivators and Superpower Users. Think about it, every student here has a significant backing. Wang Shuai is an Advanced Student. Why would someone of his high standing bother with two freshmen? And what kind of person is Xu Lan Ya? With her overbearing nature, knowing that her fiancé was flirting with another girl, her first reaction is to fix the girl, and knowing his fiancée has such a fiery temperament, why didn’t Wang Shuai question Xu Lan Ya after you got hurt? Unless Wang Shuai is as slow to realize as you, he would know that doing so would involve you," Xuerou painstakingly advised. Growing up in a business family, she was accustomed to the deceitful relationships between people and was very wary of Zhang Yiyi’s favorable impression of Wang Shuai.
"So, you mean he did it intentionally for Xu Lan Ya to see, what does he gain from it?" After hearing Xuerou’s words that day, Zhang Yiyi clenched her lips, disbelieving.
"Two possibilities, one is he was using you to test Xu Lan Ya, either she backs off or she takes more drastic actions than before. The other possibility is he wanted to kill two birds with one stone, using Xu Lan Ya to test your, or even Xiao Xian’s, strengths. My guess is, behind Wang Shuai, there must be a family power no less than the Xu Family supporting him. Whichever possibility it is, he has his retreat planned. If your and Xiao Xian’s strengths are formidable, he will accept us; if we lack in strength, whatever Xu Lan Ya does to you doesn’t matter to him. These so-called authorities and strong figures, they never care about ordinary people’s lives," as deduced by Xuerou from last time’s kidnapping incident, most Cultivators and Superpower Users held a dismissive view towards ordinary people.
After Xuerou finished her deduction, Zhang Yiyi silently shed tears, revealing her current emotions.
Yiyi liked Wang Shuai, and hearing this was a bitter pill for Xiao Xian, who was also listening on the side, feeling the sting for Yiyi.
Xuerou watched from the side, her heart also heavy, but people grow through countless falls, only through rising again can one go further.
After that incident, when Wang Shuai came over again, Xuerou would block the entrance like a mother hen protecting her chicks, and Yiyi would either avoid him or simply say she was busy with studies. Over time, Wang Shuai also reduced his visits.
"Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore, whether it’s Wang Shuai or Xu Lan Ya, we can’t let them look down on us. However, before we can truly assert ourselves, we need to start our Plan B," Xiao Xian’s Plan A was an external support plan.
Fortunately, with the strong efforts of Zeng Xuerou, Plan A had already been declared a success.
The two of them looked out the window together; tonight was starless and moonless with dense clouds covering the sky, making it a rare good day for "seeding." (To be continued.
