Chapter 296: Immortal Undying
The one arriving was Lin Jingq.
Gao Qingyang felt his face heat up and quickly averted his gaze, only to lock eyes with his deskmate.
His expression instantly turned as ugly as if he had eaten a fly.
“Gao Qingyang, your face looks terrible. Are you not feeling well?”
His deskmate said casually, then patted his shoulder and consoled him, “After all, you saved Lin Da Xiaohua’s life. She’s probably just here to thank you, so don’t overthink it.”
Gao Qingyang snorted and turned his head away.
“Do I need you to tell me that?”
He then sneered, “Just watch. With Chen An’s poor and shabby appearance, he’ll definitely embarrass himself later!”
After speaking, Gao Qingyang clasped his hands behind his head, leaned back in his chair, and stared intently at the young man by the window in the back row.
He hoped to see some nervousness, inferiority, or silly smiles from the latter, but instead, he found that Chen An hadn’t even looked up.
Damn it, what is this kid trying to pretend to be! Didn’t you see Lin Jingq call out to you herself?!
Hurry up and look up and respond!
Gao Qingyang roared in his heart.
Suddenly, Lin Jingq, who was standing at the doorway, moved. She had a faint smile on her face, her steps light and confident, and she strode directly in.
She showed none of the shyness expected at her age.
She successfully captured the attention of everyone in Class Two.
This was normal. Someone like her would naturally become the focus wherever she went.
Under everyone’s gaze, Lin Jingq walked up to the young man who was looking down and lightly tapped on his desk with two slender, white fingers.
“Classmate Chen, what’s going on? Are you ignoring me?”
Chen An was certainly not someone who would put on airs and act distant.
He looked up, met Lin Jingq’s gaze, and his expression was calm.
“No, I was just thinking about something and didn’t notice you came.”
He answered truthfully.
He had been using a spell to examine his own body, and his spiritual sense had sunk into his innards, automatically blocking out the noisy external world.
Therefore, he naturally didn’t hear Lin Jingq’s calls.
Chen An was studying the reward granted by the system.
“Immortal Undying.”
As the name suggests, from now on, Chen An would be the world’s only immortal.
Longevity would no longer be his limit, and his body would merely be an insignificant shell.
He was, in the truest sense, “Immortal Undying.”
Even if Chen An were to be blown to smithereens by an atomic bomb, reduced to tiny particles, his soul would still endure, and his body would slowly regenerate.
This reward was earned through nine lifetimes of toil.
It was truly generous.
To live as long as the heavens, even in a world of cultivation, this was the dream that countless cultivators pursued their entire lives, the ultimate goal of their centuries of arduous cultivation.
And Chen An, in a sense, stood at the finish line from birth, overlooking the mortal world.
Some are born to be cattle and horses, while others are born to stand at the pinnacle of Rome.
“What’s wrong? Is there something I can help with?”
Chen An asked.
Lin Jingq tilted her head, did not speak, but took two steps forward.
Seeing Chen An’s hand wrapped in bandages hanging below the desk, her eyes flickered, and her tone softened.
“Does it still hurt?”
Chen An shook his head. “It doesn’t hurt.”
In fact, his palm could have healed completely within 0.0001 seconds of being pierced, but he let it be so as not to appear like a monster.
As for whether it hurt or not, putting aside the fact that he could already ignore pain.
Chen An had experienced heart-piercing pain, far more intense than this situation, at least several times. How could he care about this minor pain?
But Lin Jingq clearly didn’t think so. She frowned, assuming Chen An was just trying to be brave.
It was said that the fingers are connected to the heart. Even a broken fingernail could be excruciatingly painful, let alone such a terrifying wound through the palm?
She wanted to reach out and hold his hand to examine it more closely.
Although the doctor had said yesterday in the hospital that Chen An had an unusual physique and excellent recovery, she still couldn’t put her mind at ease.
That’s why she had rushed over first thing in the morning.
But Lin Jingq’s idea did not come to fruition.
Because her hand was gently brushed away in mid-air.
She looked up and met Chen An’s questioning gaze.
“What are you doing?”
Lin Jingq pursed her lips, realizing she had been a little too casual.
Who would directly hold someone of the opposite sex’s hand in front of everyone?
Worry makes one reckless, worry makes one reckless.
She made an excuse for herself, puffed out her cheeks, and said sullenly, “I just wanted to look at your wound. Why are you reacting so strongly…”
Her words carried a hint of childlike grievance.
This girlish demeanor made everyone who was secretly watching gasp.
My goodness, was this still the confident and radiant Lin Da Xiaohua who dazzled everyone wherever she went?
Having been classmates for so long, when had they ever seen her act like this?
In the corner of the classroom, Gao Qingyang’s eyes widened even further, filled with disbelief.
Was this the Lin Da Xiaohua he knew? You weren’t like this when you ruthlessly rejected me yesterday!
That icy, frosty aura was completely different from the Lin Jingq before them!
Gao Qingyang repeatedly banged his forehead against his desk, muttering, “This is impossible, this is unscientific, impossible…”
His deskmate sighed and patted his shoulder again. He opened his mouth, wanting to offer some comfort, but found himself unable to find the words. He could only close his mouth and continue to sneak glances.
Chen An said, “The wound is not serious and will be fine in a couple of days. If you’re worried about that, then you can go back.”
He spoke naturally, without deliberately pausing or emphasizing any words, as if making a dispassionate statement.
Although Lin Jingq knew in her heart that Chen An was simply stating facts,
His blunt words still made her feel a little annoyed.
It was as if she was begging to see him!
The stray hair on Lin Jingq’s head twitched. She took out a black bank card from her pocket, placed it on Chen An’s desk, then let out a huff and turned to leave.
Chen An looked at the bank card, then at the girl’s huffing departure, and suddenly understood something.
He hadn’t expected Lin Jingq to be so efficient. He had just mentioned needing some money yesterday, and today she had already sent it to him.
He thought for a moment and called out.
“Classmate Lin.”
Lin Jingq stopped and turned around. Her eyebrows curved up, and her expression brightened considerably.
“What is it?”
The onlookers in Class Two immediately perked up. They refocused their attention, instinctively leaning towards the two, eagerly awaiting the next development.
Would she finally lose patience and make a direct move?
Or… was there some other astonishing revelation?
Under their expectant and curious gazes, Chen An pointed at the bank card on the desk. “Um, you haven’t told me the PIN yet.”
*Thump!*
Sounds of falling echoed throughout the classroom.
