Chapter 215: Qu Chen

Polar Academy, girls’ dormitory.

As most of the students in the Polar Academy came from ordinary backgrounds, their families were not very wealthy. Moreover, the Polar Academy strictly forbade students from renting houses privately. All students were to stay in the academy’s dormitory.

The management was very strict. At this moment, Qu Chen was in the dormitory, where a total of eight female students lived.

“Chenchen, why isn’t Senior Li Hang here to send you off today?” Qu Chen’s companion asked curiously.

In reality, even Qu Chen found it strange. Li Hang’s face was a little pale today, as if he had lost all his vitality. He had left as soon as the Global Martial Arts Competition ended. In the past, at this time, Li Hang would definitely not let go of the opportunity to “perform”. He would definitely send Qu Chen back to the dormitory.

“Perhaps Senior Li Hang has something on.”

Qu Chen vaguely had a guess. Could Li Hang have learned about her relationship with Lin Feng?

“Chenchen, this Global Martial Arts Competition is really exciting. Look, there are many discussions about this martial arts competition on the Internet. They say that if Lin Feng had met Dongfang Sheng or Lu Chen from back then, he definitely won’t be their match. Hmph, I think they’re just ignorant. Back then, Griman wasn’t inferior to Dongfang Sheng and Lu Chen at all. If Lin Feng can defeat Geliman, he can defeat Lu Chen and Dongfang Sheng from back then.”

“Also, they commented that no martial artist from our Polar Academy had entered the top ten…”

Qu Chen shook her head. She did not pay attention to these comments on the Internet at all. The Global Martial Arts Competition had already ended, but that person still had not contacted her.

“Have you forgotten?” Qu Chen muttered softly. Before the competition, he had contacted her. It was impossible for him to have forgotten. Perhaps he’s been delayed by something?

She heard that the top ten martial artists were all called to the conference room to receive personal summons from the Nine Sages…

Just as Qu Chen was letting her imagination run wild and feeling a little distracted, her communicator suddenly rang.

The communicator was placed on the bed. Qu Chen’s good friend, Meilin, was the closest. She immediately reached out and picked up the communicator, preparing to hand it to Qu Chen.

However, her gaze immediately landed on the name on the screen.

“Lin Feng?”

If it were before the Global Martial Arts Competition, Meilin might not have paid attention to this name at all. After all, this name was very ordinary and many people used it.

However, after the Global Martial Arts Competition, no one would ignore the name “Lin Feng”.

Seeing Meilin’s confused gaze, Qu Chen did not explain. Instead, she picked up the call and quickly left the dormitory.

“Qu Chen, are you in the Polar Academy?”

“Yes, I’m in the dormitory.”

“I’m at the Polar Academy. Would you like to come down and meet?”

Qu Chen took a deep breath and tried her best to keep her voice calm. “All right, the academy’s Blue Wings Cafe it is.”

“I’ll wait for you.”

With just a few words, the two of them hung up.

When Qu Chen returned to the dormitory, she realized that Meilin and a few other good friends were all glaring at her.

“What’s wrong?” Qu Chen asked in confusion.

Mei Lin said “fiercely”, “What else? Tell me, the person who contacted you just now was Lin Feng, right? Don’t tell me it’s someone with the same name. Was it Lin Feng from the Global Martial Arts Competition?”

At this point, Meilin and the others’ eyes almost seemed to be sparkling.

Qu Chen gritted her teeth and said, “Yes, that’s him. We were classmates at Central Sea University.”

“Heh, classmates? I don’t think it’s that simple. You’re in such a hurry to go out to see Lin Feng?”

“I didn’t expect our Chenchen to already have someone in her heart. No wonder she’s uninterested in Senior Li Hang even though he’s so outstanding. However, thinking about it, Senior Li Hang does seem to be much inferior to Lin Feng.”

“It’s not just much inferior, it’s a difference like heaven and earth. Chenchen has good taste.”

The girls in the dormitory started chattering, trying to get more information from Qu Chen. However, Qu Chen was in a hurry to leave and fled the dormitory.

Looking at Qu Chen’s departing back, Meilin said enviously, “Actually, be it Senior Li Hang or this Lin Feng, both of them are very outstanding martial artists. It’s really enviable that Chenchen can capture their hearts.”

“We won’t be able to stay in the Polar Academy for long. If we can’t break the genetic lock after a few years, we’ll have to leave the Polar Academy.”

“If Chenchen can really make it work with Lin Feng, even if she doesn’t break the genetic lock in the academy, Chenchen won’t have anything to worry about. With Lin Feng’s talent, he has a high chance of becoming a Divine Realm martial artist. When the time comes, the resources he can provide Chenchen will probably be unimaginable.”

Even though they were all very envious, they also knew that there was no point of envying such matters. This was also because Chenchen was outstanding enough. Among the eight of them in the dormitory, if there was anyone who was most likely to break the genetic lock, it would be Qu Chen.

Qu Chen was already so outstanding herself. It could only be normal that she’s admired by even more outstanding people. They were a little envious, but at the same time, they sincerely wished Qu Chen well.

…

Qu Chen left the dormitory as if she was fleeing. However, she could not calm down for a long time. At this moment, she was already outside the cafe. Originally, she thought that she should be very calm and composed, but when she was really about to see Lin Feng, her emotions fluctuated slightly.

After sorting out her emotions outside the cafe, Qu Chen walked in.

The cafe was very quiet. It was afternoon, and there were not many people. Qu Chen saw the figure by the window at a glance.

It was still so familiar. It gradually coincided with the figure in her memory.

“Lin Feng!”

“Qu Chen!”

Their eyes met. They were somewhat unfamiliar, but familiarity outweighed it.

“It’s been a year since we left Central Sea, right?”

“More or less. You haven’t changed much. You’re just like I remembered, only more beautiful.”

Qu Chen smiled knowingly and said, “You’ve changed a lot, though. You’re a household name now. First, Lin Feng, congratulations on attaining the first place in the Global Martial Arts Competition!”

This was indeed worthy of congratulations. Lin Feng had indeed changed greatly. He had grown leaps and bounds from a sickly, ordinary person who could die at any moment to an inhuman expert. Moreover, he had obtained first place in the Global Martial Arts Competition. He could truly be considered the center of attention worldwide.

Lin Feng only took a year to truly be reborn.

Although Lin Feng had changed a lot, Qu Chen felt that the Lin Feng in front of her seemed to be just a little more confident than the Lin Feng in Central Sea Cafe.

Lin Feng was still Lin Feng, and did not give her much of an unfamiliar feeling.

“I should have stopped you back then, but I didn’t. So, I regretted it. I regretted it for an entire year. But this time, I don’t want to have any regrets. Qu Chen, be my girlfriend.”

Lin Feng smiled, but his eyes were sincere and determined, as if magical.

At this moment, he vaguely felt that love was probably about knowing each other, and meeting again in the vast sea of people.

Qu Chen did not panic. Instead, she seemed to be relieved of a heavy burden.

Perhaps, she had been waiting for this moment since a year ago.
