"Fang Yang, I'm telling you, this Gu Yue is off, absolutely something's up!"
Xie Xie grabbed Fang Yang's arm and whispered, his eyes constantly glancing at Gu Yue not far away.
"Hmm, what's the problem?"
Fang Yang looked at Xie Xie, somewhat puzzled.
"I can't quite put my finger on it..."
Xie Xie frowned. "It's just that when I see her, I inexplicably feel a sense of fear, as if I could be beaten up by her at any moment!"
He swallowed, and continued, "And think about it, such a beautiful and powerful girl suddenly approaching you, she must have ulterior motives."
"As boys, we must protect ourselves."
Tang Wulin, who was nearby, couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. "Xie Xie, you're not jealous of Fang Yang, are you?"
"Wu Lin, what are you talking about? This young master has looks and family background, why would I be jealous of him?"
Xie Xie immediately jumped up, his voice rising.
Fang Yang smiled and shook his head. "Xie Xie, are you being too sensitive? Gu Yue seems quite normal."
"But..." Xie Xie still wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Tang Wulin's stomach rumbling.
"Let's not talk about that for now."
Tang Wulin rubbed his stomach, saying pitifully, "I've been running all morning, I'm starving. Fang Yang, Xie Xie, shall we go to the cafeteria to eat?"
"Alright, it's my treat today," Fang Yang said, patting Xie Xie's shoulder. "Xie Xie will pay."
"Huh? Why do I have to pay?" Xie Xie's eyes widened.
Tang Wulin was already impatient. "Let's go, I'm starving to death."
For Tang Wulin, nothing else mattered; filling his stomach was the most important thing!
Just then, Gu Yue, from a distance, had already arrived in front of them.
The breeze rustled her long hair, which gleamed black in the sunlight.
Gu Yue smiled slightly. "Fang Yang, I'm hungry too. Can you take me with you to the cafeteria to eat?"
Xie Xie was about to refuse, but Fang Yang gave him a look, and Tang Wulin immediately understood, covering Xie Xie's mouth.
"Mmm mmm mmm!" Xie Xie struggled, but couldn't make a complete sound.
Gu Yue blinked. "Fang Yang, he's...?"
"Oh, don't mind him, he's just too excited," Fang Yang said without changing his expression.
"He's so happy he can't speak, thinking about having lunch with Gu Yue."
Xie Xie: "..." (Inner monologue: CS)
A hint of a smile flashed in Gu Yue's eyes. She pretended not to see Xie Xie and walked beside Fang Yang.
And so, Fang Yang and the others arrived at the Academy cafeteria.
Eastsea Academy's Intermediate Division cafeteria was in a small building next to the main teaching building. The building had three floors, each for two grades of the Intermediate Division. First and second-year students ate on the first floor.
There were three windows, marked with the characters A, B, and C.
Meal C was free, Meal B was partially paid, and Meal A was entirely self-funded.
Of course, relatively speaking, Meal A's ingredients were the best, followed by Meal B, and Meal C was just ordinary food.
"Uncle, please give us four portions of Meal A," Fang Yang stood in front of the Meal A window, smiling at the uncle inside.
Since Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon King Bloodline had been taken by Fang Yang, he naturally wouldn't eat as much as he did in the original story.
Hearing the familiar voice, the cafeteria uncle, who was serving food, looked up.
He saw Fang Yang and his group, and a smile appeared on his face. "It's you boys again, here for Meal A!"
His gaze suddenly paused when it swept over Gu Yue, and his eyes lit up. "Oh, who is this... your girlfriend?"
Gu Yue was also caught off guard by the sudden question, and a blush instantly spread across her face.
Why are you blushing!
Fang Yang smiled and shook his head. "Uncle, you've misunderstood. This is Gu Yue, a new classmate in our class."
"Haha, I think this girl is good, Uncle is very good at judging people!" The uncle deftly served the dishes, winking at Fang Yang.
As he spoke, he deliberately added a little extra to each plate.
At this moment, Gu Yue softly said, "Fang Yang, let me treat you all to this meal."
Fang Yang shook his head. "No need, we have a fixed payment method."
He turned to Xie Xie, a cunning smile on his face. "Xie Xie, it's your turn."
Xie Xie wailed, "It's me again!"
But he still obediently pulled out his card and paid for four portions of Meal A.
Tang Wulin snickered next to him, earning a fierce glare from Xie Xie.
Afterward, the four of them found a table in the cafeteria and sat down.
Fang Yang and Gu Yue naturally sat on the same side.
Across from them were Xie Xie, still mourning his wallet, and Tang Wulin, who was already impatiently picking up his chopsticks.
Gu Yue picked up her chopsticks, took a fragrant chicken drumstick from her plate, and gently placed it on Fang Yang's plate.
"Have this, I don't have much of an appetite," her voice was soft.
"Thank you." Fang Yang didn't decline and ate heartily.
Xie Xie and Tang Wulin across from them simultaneously widened their eyes, their chopsticks clattering onto the table.
The two looked at each other, communicating furiously with their eyes:
Xie Xie's eyebrows twitched wildly: "Wu Lin! Did you see that?!"
Tang Wulin's eyes widened even more: "I saw it, that was a chicken drumstick!"
Xie Xie pouted: "There's definitely something going on with them."
Tang Wulin nodded: "I think so too."
Just then, Gu Yue suddenly looked up and gave them a meaningful smile.
Xie Xie immediately felt a chill down his spine, quickly lowered his head, and started eating his rice, pretending not to have seen anything.
He muttered to himself, "A good man doesn't fight with women. If I can't provoke her, can't I at least avoid her?"
The battle between Fang Yang and Gu Yue that morning was still vivid in his mind.
Xie Xie knew very well that although Gu Yue was a girl, he was definitely no match for her.
After all, she was someone who could fight Fang Yang to a standstill.
As for himself... if he were to fight Fang Yang, he would be instantly killed in one move, becoming just another roadside casualty.
As for Tang Wulin, who did not have the Golden Dragon King Bloodline, Gu Yue merely glanced at him indifferently before refocusing her gaze on Fang Yang.
To be honest, she was indeed surprised.
Gu Yue had originally thought that Na'er had just fallen for a rather special guy, but she never expected Fang Yang to actually possess the aura of the Golden Dragon King.
Fang Yang's Bloodline aura could deceive others, but it couldn't escape her perception.
Especially when she deliberately pretended to fall earlier and was steadily caught by Fang Yang.
At that moment, Gu Yue could feel the Golden Dragon King Bloodline Power surging within Fang Yang.
"Gu Yue, you're eating so little? We still have training this afternoon, eat a little more."
Fang Yang looked at Gu Yue beside him with concern, noticing that she hadn't eaten much of the food on her plate.
Looking at Gu Yue beside him, he couldn't help but think of Na'er.
As another Silver Dragon King Incarnation, that girl's appetite was astonishing.
"Thank you for your concern, Fang Yang. My appetite has always been small; this is already enough."
Gu Yue smiled slightly.
