It’s been about half a month since the events on the isolated island battlefield.
In that battle, the Feng family was taken out by the An family, while Lin Hui disappeared without a trace.
So, during this time, with the help of the Inspectorate, An Mingjie took the opportunity to clean up the remnants of the Feng family and the Lin family.
After swallowing up the assets and resources of the two families, the An family truly became the leading family.
The Wang family, on the other hand, turned a deaf ear to this, just watching the An family gradually grow stronger.
Within these past half a month, Jiangdu, once a warm and harmonious city, has undergone new changes.
As for An Xingchang, in order to avoid An Mingjie’s pursuit, he fled Jiangdu with his people the night he had barbecue.
He has disappeared without a trace, and no matter how many calls An Mingjie makes, he doesn’t answer.
…
It’s seven in the morning, at Su Jiang’s home.
“Fugui, wake up Su Jiang.” An Rou’s voice, tinged with drowsiness, echoed.
“Meow!” Got it!
“Bang!”
The little tabby cat kicked open Su Jiang’s bedroom door with one paw.
Although the door wasn’t locked, it has to be said, this silly cat has quite a lot of strength.
Climbing onto the bed, Fugui bounced around on Su Jiang’s chest.
Su Jiang opened his eyes groggily, just in time to meet Fugui’s cat face.
“Meow!” Get up!
“Tsk!” Su Jiang frowned, dissatisfied: “I’ll beat your cat head in, you believe me? Who gave you the guts to kick my door?”
“I did, what about it?”
An Rou, wearing a cute Pikachu pajamas, stood at the door of Su Jiang’s room with her mouth puffed up.
Since she moved in, the two of them officially started living together.
An Mingjie had advised An Rou, saying that it was not appropriate to live together now.
Previously, he had let An Rou live with Su Jiang because he was afraid he wouldn’t be able to make it back, so he entrusted his sister to Su Jiang.
But now that he was back, how could he bear to throw his sister to this big bad wolf Su Jiang?
However, to An Mingjie’s persuasion, An Rou answered like this.
“My stuff is still over there. It’s too much of a hassle to move it all, so I’ll just make do with staying there!”
God only knows what An Mingjie was feeling when he heard this answer.
But during the past half month of living together, the two still slept in separate rooms.
Well, both of them were very restrained, deserving of praise.
“Isn’t… isn’t today Sunday?”
Su Jiang sat up in bed and looked at An Rou, asking, “Why did you wake me up so early?”
He was a man who wanted to sleep in until he woke up naturally.
“Huh?” An Rou stared at him with wide eyes, pointing at Su Jiang, “You wouldn’t have forgotten what day it is today, would you?”
Su Jiang frowned and pondered.
What day?
Before he could remember, his phone rang.
He picked up the phone and saw it was Old Zhang?
Su Jiang’s eyes widened, as if he remembered what day it was.
He answered the call, and Zhang Yu’s voice immediately reached Su Jiang’s ears, so loud that even An Rou could hear it.
“Su Jiang, where the hell are you?”
Zhang Yu started off with a classic: “I’ve been waiting for you at the gate of Sanzhong for half a day, where the hell are you?”
“Today is the day of the Jiangdu High Math Competition preliminary round, don’t tell me you forgot!”
Su Jiang twitched his lips, glanced at An Rou, and stammered, “Uh… well, Old… Teacher Zhang, don’t worry, I’m already on my way!”
An Rou heard this and rolled her eyes at Su Jiang.
This lie was just blurted out, he was still sitting on the bed.
“Where are you now?” Zhang Yu continued, “I’m warning you, the exam starts at 8 o’clock, you have to be there for inspection at 7:30!”
“I I I… I’m just around the corner from Sanzhong, Teacher Zhang, don’t worry, I’ll be there on time!”
Su Jiang hung up the phone, hurriedly got out of bed, and was about to change clothes when his hand paused at the hem of his shirt.
“Uh… maybe you should step out for a bit?” Su Jiang awkwardly looked at An Rou.
“Cut it out!” An Rou turned and left, muttering under her breath, “Who wants to see your two lumps of meat?”
“Soon, Su Jiang changed clothes and rushed out of the room, rummaging through everything.
“Where’s my ID card?”
“Where’s my admission ticket?”
“Where’s my pen?”
“Where’s my eraser…Silly cat! You’re chewing on my eraser again!”
Su Jiang gave Fugui a rap on the head, warning him: “If you keep chewing on my eraser, I’ll bust your cat head.”
Fugui covered his head with his paw, tears streaming down his face as he snuggled into An Rou’s arms, whimpering softly.
“Su Jiang, don’t keep hitting Fugui on the head for no reason.” An Rou gently comforted Fugui, giving Su Jiang a glare: “What if you hit him silly?”
“Meow!” That’s right!
Then, she took out a bag, which conveniently held Su Jiang’s exam documents.
“Here, I already packed everything for you. You always leave your things all over the place. Next time, I won’t help you tidy up!”
“Rourou, you’re the best!”
Su Jiang’s eyes lit up. He took the bag from An Rou, then hugged her and tried to kiss her.
“Get out! You haven’t brushed your teeth!”
An Rou couldn’t push him away and ended up getting a big kiss on the face.
“I’m off!”
“Su Jiang didn’t even bother to wash up. He just said goodbye to An Rou and rushed out the door.
Unbelievable! It only took him five minutes from getting out of bed to leaving.
The pressure of university is truly terrifying.
An Rou glanced at the door Su Jiang closed, and sighed.
She turned around, went back to her room, and went back to sleep.
If she hadn’t had to wake Su Jiang up, she could have slept until noon.
……
“I’m defeated. Sanzhong High School is a whopping eight kilometers away from here!”
Su Jiang looked at the time. Taking the bus was out of the question. He wouldn’t make it in time.
He’d have to take a taxi!
Ten minutes later, Su Jiang was stuck in traffic.
“There seems to be an accident ahead. Young man, are you in a hurry?” the driver asked.
“Of course, I’m in a hurry. Why else would I take your taxi?”
Su Jiang was about to speak when Old Zhang’s call came in again.
“Su Jiang, where the hell are you?”
“You’ve been turning a corner for half an hour?”
“They’re already starting to enter the venue. Are you coming or not?”
Su Jiang was sweating profusely. He quickly said, “Teacher, I’m here, I’m here. You’ll see me in two minutes.”
He hung up the phone and told the driver, “Master, I’ll get off here!”
He got out of the car, took a deep breath, and realized he still had about three kilometers to go.
There was no other option.
He activated his Shadow Flow Wind state!
The moment his body was enhanced, Su Jiang took off running.
He just ran.
“Holy crap, what was that thing that just zoomed past?”
“Did our country just produce another running prodigy?”
“Looks like someone’s going to be late for work, they’re in such a rush.”
“……”
Along the way, many people noticed Su Jiang, but none of them could see his face clearly.
From that day forward, a new urban legend spread through Jiangdu City.
It was said that around 7:30 am, just when office workers were about to be late, they would have a hallucination, seeing a black figure running at lightning speed.
Nobody could make out his shape or appearance, all they were left with was a gust of wind.
And those who saw this figure, without exception…all ended up being late for work.
Extremely terrifying.
“Whew…”
Just as his energy was about to run out, Su Jiang finally reached the entrance of Sanzhong High School.
Three kilometers, seven minutes.
He’d be a shame to not participate in the sports meet.
