Tang San's Wildly Beating Heart

Xiao Wu and Ao Tian entered the Nuoding Junior Spirit Master Academy and went straight back to their dormitory.

The opening ceremony would only be held tomorrow, so they had a day of leisure.

There were two fewer people in the work-study dormitory, one was Wang Sheng, and the other was also in the sixth grade, graduating with Wang Sheng.

According to the work-study students who had already arrived, Wang Sheng had increased his soul power by a small level during the vacation and was already preparing to take the entrance exam for the Intermediate Spirit Master Academy.

Ao Tian smiled without saying a word. He had infused spiritual energy into Wang Sheng. His originally poor talent had been subtly enhanced, which could be considered a rare opportunity.

Xiao Chenyu also graduated from the Nuoding Academy and heard that he had also gone to the same intermediate academy as Wang Sheng.

Ao Tian and Xiao Wu arrived early, and the work-study students who returned to the dormitory would come to Xiao Wu and greet her respectfully, calling her "Sister Xiao Wu."

Xiao Wu's big eyes curved into a crescent shape, standing there with a smile, enjoying the feeling of being the big sister.

Seeing this, Ao Tian took out the mattress and blanket and said, "Make the bed."

Xiao Wu immediately pouted and protested, "Why do I have to make it?"

Ao Tian glanced at her and said, "Then you can sleep on your own from now on. Oh, by the way, you don't have a blanket yet. You can go buy one now."

"Don't be like this." Xiao Wu quickly jumped onto the bed and diligently arranged the mattress and bedding.

Ao Tian was quite satisfied and said, "You owe me so much money. I guess you won't be able to repay it for a few years. So, for now, just be my maid and help me with chores. I'll deduct what you owe me from your salary."

"Over five hundred gold soul coins, that might work me to death." Xiao Wu grumbled quietly.

"Are you willing to do it?" Ao Tian crossed his arms and looked at her with a playful expression.

"Do I have a choice?" Xiao Wu said with a hint of grievance.

She quickly made the bed, patted the edge, and said, "Please have a seat."

"The little maid is adapting pretty quickly." Ao Tian sat down, quite satisfied.

Xiao Wu pursed her lips and said, "Do you remember your bet with Grandmaster? Today you're going to compete with Tang San, but this seems a bit unfair. I really feel sorry for Tang San."

"How could I forget?" Ao Tian said.

It was Grandmaster who brought it up first, and Ao Tian was a bit annoyed by the other's attitude of 'I have the most knowledge, I am the most authoritative', which led him to accept the challenge.

He was curious to see if, under his pressure, Tang San's cultivation speed would make a breakthrough.

"Why hasn't he arrived yet? I'm getting a little impatient." Xiao Wu said.

Ao Tian glanced at her and said, "Are you so bored that you want to see a show?"

Xiao Wu stuck out her small tongue.

Just then, Tang San's voice came from outside, "Classmate Gu Yuena, this is Dormitory Seven."

Ao Tian and Xiao Wu both turned to the door, and the first thing they saw was Tang San's smiling face.

In the previous semester, Tang San had always been calm and spoke very little. Ao Tian and his roommates had never seen him smile so brightly before.

As Tang San entered, he turned around warmly and said, "Come in."

Outside the door, a petite girl exuding a fairy-like aura walked in.

She had a pair of large purple eyes, flowing silver hair cascading behind her, smooth and tender skin, and a cold and ethereal temperament, giving off an aura that kept others at a distance.

She also held a set of work-study clothes in her hands.

Surprisingly, it was a miniature version of Gu Yuena. Ao Tian couldn't help but widen his eyes. When he heard Tang San address her as "Classmate Gu Yuena," he thought he must have misheard.

But it really was Gu Yuena.

The other work-study students around Ao Tian were just as stunned, and many couldn't help but swallow nervously.

When they first saw Xiao Wu, they were already amazed, and now seeing this even more beautiful girl, their emotions could be described as exhilarating, their hearts beating faster, faces turning red, and hands not knowing where to put them. This was love at first sight, a palpable feeling of excitement.

"Thank you," Gu Yuena said, her voice cool, without a smile on her face.

Tang San scratched his head, chuckled, and said, "No need to be polite. From now on, we're classmates, and helping each other is only natural."

He looked at Gu Yuena, and in his eyes, one could see a sense of amazement. Even with his adult sensibilities, he couldn't help but be captivated by this little fairy.

He reminded himself several times that she was just a young girl, but he couldn't help wanting to talk to her, to care for her.

In two lifetimes, he had never experienced romantic feelings, and suddenly, there was a fluttering sensation - it was a very peculiar feeling.

Just as Tang San finished speaking, he noticed that Gu Yuena didn't pay him any mind. Instead, she looked into the dormitory.

Suddenly, he saw the girl before him, with a cold and ethereal temperament like a snow lotus on an icy mountain, suddenly breaking into a heart-melting smile.

Tang San was dumbfounded.

It was as if overnight, a thousand trees and ten thousand pear blossoms had burst into bloom. That was the feeling Tang San had now, completely awestruck.

Then he saw Gu Yuena, holding the school uniform, walking briskly inside.

When he saw Gu Yuena stop in front of Ao Tian's bed, Tang San's heart clenched sharply, a feeling of sadness he had never experienced before suddenly welling up.

"Ao... Tian." Gu Yuena originally intended to address him as Senior Ao, but thinking it might not be appropriate in this situation, she changed her mind and directly called Ao Tian by his name.

They actually knew each other. Tang San felt quite uncomfortable about this and walked back to his own bed. He nonchalantly made the bed, while at the same time, he perked up his ears, wanting to hear what Gu Yuena and Ao Tian were talking about.

"Weren't you told to go home? Why are you here?" Ao Tian asked.

Faced with Ao Tian's somewhat reproachful words, Gu Yuena bit her lip and said, "Practicing here is the same as practicing at home, and here I can often consult you about cultivation issues."

"Could they be related? No, their surnames are different. It's possible they've known each other since childhood, but Gu Yuena seems a little afraid of Ao Tian." Tang San quickly analyzed the relationship between Ao Tian and Gu Yuena.

Ao Tian shook his head and said, "It's up to you. Since you're here, find a bed and rest."

Tang San's heart stirred, and his heartbeat gradually accelerated.

The beds in the dormitory were arranged on both sides. On Ao Tian's side, his and Xiao Wu's beds were together and already at the far end.

On Tang San's side, Tang San's bed was the second to last. To his right, there happened to be an empty bed.

Tang San stopped what he was doing, straightened his body, and smiled, "Classmate Gu Yuena, there's a spot over here."

Gu Yuena turned to look, then scanned the other areas. Finally, her gaze landed on Xiao Wu's bed.

With her school uniform in her arms, she walked over to Xiao Wu's side, placed the uniform at the head of the bed, and smiled, "Xiao Wu, from now on, we'll sleep together."

The smile on Tang San's face froze. The gazes of the surrounding students occasionally fell on him, making him feel extremely awkward.

Gu Yuena didn't even acknowledge him. Her gaze didn't linger on him for a moment.

For the first time, Tang San felt how unbearable it was to be treated like air.

He didn't quite understand why Gu Yuena seemed to have such a sense of superiority. Could it be because of her beauty?

Watching Gu Yuena take off her shoes, climb onto Xiao Wu's bed, and sit between Xiao Wu and Ao Tian, Tang San felt as if his heart had shattered.

The other male students in the dormitory also felt like their hearts had shattered.
