CH 48

Chapter 48 – Where is Your Designated Car?

The boy had caught the train together with Li Yihan and was sitting opposite to her. He looked about the same age as her. He was sleeping with his head lightly propped against the window.

Li Yihan could look at him unrestrainedly because of this.

The boy had a very fair complexion, with a very delicate skin texture, but he was unlike those boys with effeminate features that girls usually liked.

He had the facial contours and features that were very hard and masculine. He had a high nose, with a deep and sharp set of eyebrows, giving him a chiselled look.

Furthermore, he was just her type.

It was the presence of this boy that made Li Yihan endure the incessant chatter of the “fly” next to her and kept her from changing seats.

Just as Li Yihan quietly admiring the boy’s handsome face, the high-speed train shook slightly, and the man leaning on the window opened his eyes slowly.

Li Yihan originally intended to immediately look away, but the other party’s eyes had taken hold of her attention.

What kind of eyes are those?

Li Yihan swore that it was the first time she had ever seen such beautiful eyes in her entire life. They were clear as crystals, without a single blemish, and were as deep as the starry sky. There also was this strange glow in the centre of his pupils.

The boy’s eyes were like two black vortexes that sucked Li Yihan’s mind slowly in to them.

“Are you okay?”

Li Yihan snapped back to her senses and suddenly found that the handsome boy had come up to her and asked her if she was doing fine.

“Ah … I’m fine, it’s nothing. I got lost in thought …”

Li Yihan’s pretty face instantly turned red as she tried to explain herself in a panic, feeling her ears burning.

It’s embarrassing! Being caught staring at him like that. He won’t think of me as some kind of love struck idiot, right …

Li Yihan wailed in her heart, wishing that the ground beneath her feet would crack open and bury her inside.

“It’s good that you’re okay.” Lu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.

He had just got out of the dream world, and the spiritual power he was cultivating hadn’t had time to fully retract, so he didn’t know what effect it would have on ordinary people.

“Hello, my name is Huang Yuan, we were just chatting, are you by any chance from Shuhai?”

The round-faced girl sitting next to him took the initiative to greet Lu Sheng, temporarily relieving Li Yihan’s embarrassment.

Lu Sheng was really comfortable with impromptu meetings and conversations like this, but he still shook his head and politely said, “My name is Lu Sheng, I’m not from Shuhai, I’m from Baihe, a city near to Shuhai.”

“No wonder, you don’t sound like someone from Shuhai.”

The boy next to Li Yihan also struck up a conversation, “My name is Liu Feng, I go to Shuehai First High School, my BQV is 1.3.”

With the last sentence, the boy called Liu Feng unconsciously raised his chin, revealing a faint look of pride.

Regarding people like this, who constantly kept talking about their Blood Qi Values, Lu Sheng though they were no different from those who wear thick gold chains around their necks, afraid that others won’t know they’re nouveau riche.

But out of politeness, Lu Sheng still nodded at the other party.

Hearing this, Li Yihan also recovered, she blushed and whispered, “My name is Li Yihan, from Shuhai Second High School.”

“Haha, then we were really destined to meet today. We are about the same age, and also happen to be taking the same train to the provincial capital of Dongning.”

Liu Feng said, smilingly, “What are you guys going to Dongning for? I am going there to attend cram school. An old instructor who’s also a Level 5 Martial Artist will coach when I get there. It is said that he’s taught top students of several cities …”

“…”

Lu Sheng forced to hold back his speechlessness several times, but he answered honestly, “I am going to a attend a training camp in Dongning. I was Shuhai for some business.”

Li Yihan and Huang Yuan also told their respective purposes.

In fact, the four of them had similar goals. They were either going to cram school or go for special training. After all, they were close to the college entrance examination and were all worried about their BQV scores.

In the following conversation, Liu Feng naturally took over the lead. He seemed to have some special interest in Li Yihan and had been trying to get her attention.

Of course, his tactics were so poor and clumsy that even Lu Sheng couldn’t bear to look at him, let alone Li Yihan.

The most innocent of the four, Huang Yuan, though, listened with great interest, and from time to time let out noises of  admiration.

Since the train would arrive at the station any time soon, he couldn’t close his eyes and enter the dream world, so Lu Sheng felt quite bored.

He could only listen to Liu Feng’s endless bragging, staring at Li Yihan sitting opposite him, imagining in his heart that at this moment Li Yihan’s good feeling for Liu Feng was constantly popping up on his head “-1” “-1″…

He could only listen to Liu Feng’s endless bragging and stare at Li Yihan who was sitting opposite him. As time went on, he imagined Liu Feng’s favorability in Li Yihan eyes must’ve something like this:

“-1”

“-1”

“-1”

“-1”

Finally, along with the pleasant beep, the high speed train arrived at the station.

Dongning City, the capital of Dongning Province.

“Whew …”

Stepping off the train, Lu Sheng exhaled a long breath.

The train was too stuffy, and it wasn’t comfortable sitting in it for too long.

“Yihan, are you taking a taxi? My cram school has sent a special car to pick me up. Oh, I can let the car drop you off on the way.”

Next to him, Liu Feng, who got off the car, continued to court Li Yihan, and he even tried to take care of Lu Sheng and Huang Yuan at the same time.

“You two are also welcome.”

Though he sounded very reluctant when he looked at them.

Li Yihan didn’t appreciate it and decisively refused, “It’s too troublesome. There’s no need.”

“It’s not troublesome, Yihan. Why don’t we add each other on WeChat first …”

Following that, Lu Sheng and Huang Yuan watched as Liu Feng walked out of the station like a bootlicker chasing after a goddess in a third-rate idol drama.

The four walked to the entrance of the high speed railway station, where there were many private cars, and cabs were parked, as well as a few buses.

One of them was a business class bus with a unique shape and an eye-catching “Genius Training Camp” banner on it.

In order to show off his knowledge, Liu Feng took the initiative to say to Lu Sheng and others: “See that bus? If I’m not wrong, that bus should be the special bus prepared for the Genius Training Camp students hosted by the Dongning Provincial Government …”

Huang Yuan next to him asked curiously, “What is the Genius Training Camp?”

Liu Feng shook his head: “I’m not too sure, I only know that it’s a very powerful training camp that gathers all the martial arts geniuses of the entire Dongning Province. No more than ten students can participate for each city.

“There is a bigshot I know from the next to mine, back in school. His BQV had already reached 1.5, meeting the qualification for a Level 1 Martial Artist. Even so, he didn’t even qualify for the training camp.”

Liu Feng sighed sincerely and said in an extremely envious tone. “In short, those who can enter this training camp are the top geniuses. They’re god-like figures …”

“Wow …”

Huang Yuan let out a loud exclamation.

Even Li Yihan seemed interested, with a curious look on her face.

At the same time, Liu Feng glanced at Lu Sheng who was standing on the side, and seeing as he had no change in expression, his heart skipped a beat.

“Lu Sheng, you are here to participate in a training camp right? Where is your designated car?”

Right on the heels of the introducing the Prodigy Training Camp, he had asked Lu Sheng about his own training camp. There was no hiding the ridicule behind the question.

Liu Feng had done it on purpose.

Who let this kid called Lu Sheng be so handsome, making the beautiful Li Yihan secretly steal glances at him all throughout the ride.

See if I don’t stink you up a bit.*
