After tossing out such a sentence, Ma Xiwei turned and walked upstairs to her room, no longer discussing the matter of the Pureblood Human Path with Ma Zhenhe.
Ma Zhenhe was too conservative, not radical enough, and she had no common language with him; they just couldn't continue the conversation.
...
The next morning, as dawn was just breaking.
The family quarters of Shanhai University.
Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan woke up early.
"Xiao Chen, don't be in such a hurry to get up, okay? Can't we just laze around in bed a bit longer?"
Seeing Lin Zichen about to get out of bed as soon as he opened his eyes, Shen Qinghan playfully tugged at his arm.
Lin Zichen saw her acting coy and decided to oblige her by lying back down.
"Xiao Chen is so good. Here, your reward is a good morning kiss!"
Shen Qinghan leaned over Lin Zichen's face, lifting her soft tresses that hung down and kissed him on the lips.
Lin Zichen reached around her waist and began to reciprocate her kiss.
After nearly ten minutes, they finally stopped.
"Xiao Chen, besides a morning kiss, there are other rewards too."
"What rewards?"
Lin Zichen asked with a smile.
Shen Qinghan did not answer, she just gave him a smile and quickly snuggled under the covers.
Lin Zichen remained silent, simply closing his eyes to enjoy.
Who knows how much time passed.
It was completely light outside the window by now.
And by this time, Shen Qinghan also climbed out of bed, joining Lin Zichen out of bed.
She went to the bathroom to shower, while he went to the washroom to brush his teeth.
Afterward, they had breakfast together in the living room and then headed to the inner campus, with Zhang Wanxin seeing them off.
Upon entering the inner campus,
she headed in the direction of the research institute, while he walked towards the Evolution College.
Shen Qinghan originally wanted to go to the research institute together.
But Lin Zichen had told her that it would be best to visit Evolution College on the first day of school to bid farewell to her classmates, since it would feel rather cold to just leave without a word after being classmates for an entire semester.
Shen Qinghan thought that made sense and took his advice, choosing to go to Evolution College to properly say goodbye to her classmates.
...
Five minutes later.
Shen Qinghan arrived at the Evolution College and entered a large classroom in the middle of the first floor.
Today was the first day of the semester.
As per the tradition of Shanhai University's genius class, the first lesson was a class meeting, which was held in the main classroom of Evolution College.
More than ten times?!
Upon hearing this, the crowd was visibly shocked.
If a tenfold difference wasn't a special physique, what was?
After their shock subsided, the classroom was filled with envious sighs mixed with a hint of flattery:
"Zi Chen has the makings of a saint in the flesh."
"Qinghan is Gene Slavery, Zi Chen is a saint in the flesh, truly a peerless duo."
"Not just a peerless duo, they're a match of talent and beauty, Qinghan at school beauty level, Zi Chen at school hunk level, such a perfect match makes one envious."
"One handsome and skilled, one beautiful and able to fight, how are we supposed to live with this?"
"..."
Hearing the sighs of her classmates, Shen Qinghan's heart was filled with delight.
Her dream since childhood had been to be known as a peerless duo with Lin Zichen, and she hadn't expected that dream to come true today.
"By the way, I made a bag of cookies last night, if nobody minds, please try some."
Shen Qinghan put the bag she was carrying onto the desk in front of her, and said with a sweet smile to everyone in the classroom.
This was her farewell gift to her classmates.
Once the bag of cookies was eaten, she would have to leave.
She was going to the Pure Human Research Institute to research the Pureblood Human Path with her beloved Lin Zichen, cultivate the Blood Tempering Technique, and explore the mysteries of the human body.
"Wow, cookies made by Qinghan herself, they must be delicious, let me try."
"Get me one too."
"Perfect, I skipped breakfast, thanks Qinghan!"
"..."
The people in the classroom gathered around in small groups to get cookies, calling her Qinghan affectionately, showing great respect for Shen Qinghan.
In the past, they respected Shen Qinghan as Lin Zichen's fiancée.
But now, the respect was for her as an individual.
This was someone capable of Gene Slavery and deserving of respect.
It wasn't long before the cookies were all gone.
Seeing that it was about time, Shen Qinghan was about to leave the classroom to head for the research institute.
Luo Yongjian spoke up, "Qinghan, you'll have plenty of time to visit the institute and find Zi Chen later. Don't go today, stay and attend class with us instead, just for one last day."
A girl said, "Yeah Qinghan, stay and attend class with us for one last day. After class we can all take a class photo together."
"Alright then, I'll tell Xiao Chen."
Shen Qinghan agreed and took out her phone to send a message to Lin Zichen, telling him she would be attending class at Evolution College today, for the last time.
They would go to the research institute together tomorrow.
