Chapter 90 Caught In a Moment
Long Tian had arrived at his villa. Parking his car, he went straight inside and headed to the second floor.
Inside a room, Li Yue'er lay unconscious. It had been three days since she awakened her dual martial spirit and fell into this state.
However, her appearance had undergone a dramatic change – her once-black hair had turned silver.
"It's truly mysterious. With a physique of nine realms and a dual martial spirit, she possesses great potential," Shen Yulan commented from inside the jade.
"Do you know how to wake her up?" Long Tian asked.
"Unfortunately, I don't," Shen Yulan replied.
Long Tian sighed. In the original plot, Li Yue'er didn't possess a dual martial spirit, and her hair remained black. It seemed he had interfered too much in the plot.
After thinking for a moment, he shook his head, closed the door, and entered his own room.
*********************
The night had passed, and morning ushered in the day. Its rays marked the beginning of daily activities.
Inside his car, Long Tian wore his school uniform as he drove toward Tianzhou High School.
It had been four days since the awakening of the martial spirit, and now school had resumed. He had only a few months left until graduation.
The school entrance area was already bustling with students arriving for school. Long Tian simply parked his car and got out.
As he walked toward his classroom, he suddenly saw a familiar figure – Liu Qian, who seemed to be heading to her classroom as well.
Their gazes accidentally met, but Liu Qian quickly averted her eyes and walked away.
Long Tian furrowed his brow. Since that night, Liu Qian seemed to have disappeared. He tried to contact her, but she never answered.
"Something's wrong with her. I need to meet her in person," he said.
****************
Classes began as usual and proceeded without much disruption. The teachers focused more on explaining about martial spirits than on regular subjects.
It was understandable since the school had just successfully held the martial spirit awakening ceremony. It was an achievement to be proud of, as two students had awakened S-Class martial spirits.
And now, it was time for the morning break. Long Tian, Li Guowu, Bai Li, and others were chatting and having lunch in the cafeteria.
"Well, the journey was dangerous, but in the end, my father managed to eradicate the drug dealers," Bai Li was sharing his story.
The cafeteria was bustling as usual, filled with students chatting and enjoying their meals. Long Tian was also enjoying his time as a student.
"Anyway, Bai Li, are you planning to go to Xuantian Academy?" Feng Yu, a friend, asked.
"Well, even though I only awakened a B-Class martial spirit, I'll still take the entrance exam for Xuantian Academy. I recently found out that admission isn't solely based on martial spirit. I saw news about someone with an E-Class martial spirit getting in," Bai Li replied.
"Oh, that's good news. Unfortunately, I won't be continuing to a famous academy here. My family intends to move to Egypt," Feng Yu said.
While they were chatting, Long Tian was also talking with Li Guowu.
"Liu Qian acted normal in class. Did you just realize her beauty? You know, every day, boys come to class and confess to her, but she always turns them down," Li Guowu said.
"Is that so? She's quite famous, then? I didn't notice during this time," Long Tian said.
"Well, who wouldn't be captivated by her? But it seems like she has a connection with someone," Li Guowu mentioned.
"Who?" Long Tian asked, curiosity in his tone.
"Or maybe not, his name is Ye Chen. I've seen them walking together several times," Li Guowu replied.
Upon hearing this, Long Tian raised an eyebrow. Ye Chen... that name sounded familiar, even though he didn't know him.
And perhaps this Ye Chen was the reason Liu Qian was keeping her distance from him.
*****************
Minutes turned into hours, and the school day passed. Students were leaving their classrooms and heading home.
Many parents were there to pick up their children. However, near the school gate, beneath a tree, Liu Qian had yet to see her father.
She checked her watch, showing 1:30 PM. It was unusual for her father to be late in picking her up.
"Need a ride?" Suddenly, a voice came from behind.
She turned and saw Long Tian. She replied, "No, thank you."
"It seems your father hasn't arrived to pick you up, just like when we first met here," Long Tian said.
"I'm sure he'll be here any moment," Liu Qian replied.
"He won't because I've already contacted him and told him you'd be going home with me," Long Tian said.
"What? Why did you do that? You didn't even ask me," Liu Qian said, her tone displeased.
"Why? You usually don't mind it, and you even let me take you to my family's party. And during these past few days, you seemed to be avoiding me. Why, Liu Qian?" Long Tian asked.
Liu Qian found herself unable find words. Since that night, she had felt guilty towards Ye Chen. On that very night, she promised him that she wouldn't betray him, yet, on that same night, she sleep with another guy, which was Long Tian.
She took a deep breath, determination on her face, "I actually have a boyfriend, Long Tian. That's why it's better if we don't talk anymore," she revealed.
Long Tian raised one of his eyebrows, slightly surprised. Although he had suspected this, he didn't expect it to be true.
"So, on that night, you were someone else's girlfriend? That means you cheated on him. But I must confess, Liu Qian, your body is very beautiful, and that night, it was also your first time?" Long Tian said, a grin playing on his lips.
Liu Qian blushed, "I-it was an accident. We were both influenced by alcohol," she said.
"That doesn't change the fact that you cheated. Does your boyfriend not treat you well, unlike how I did?" Long Tian grinned, lifting her chin.
"I was just trying to change for the better. Can't we just be good friends?" Liu Qian said.
"Are you trying to cover up your affair? If your boyfriend finds out about it, he'll surely be very angry, and it's possible that he'll break up with you," Long Tian said. "And if you want it to remain a secret, do what I want," he grinned.
"Are you trying to blackmail me?" Liu Qian asked, her tone cold.
Long Tian actually laughed, "Just kidding, I wanted to try acting like a villain."
"I prefer to have a heart-to-heart conversation," he added.
Liu Qian responded, "You're just—" but her voice trailed off as Long Tian suddenly kissed her on the lips.
Her eyes widened; she didn't expect Long Tian to kiss her. Her hands clenched into fists, and although she wanted to resist, her heart didn't.
This was also the reason why she hated herself. Long Tian was clearly a bad boy type, and now he had tattoos on his arms, which were clear red flags.
But knowing all that, for some reason, she couldn't break free. Her fists clenched, her mind clouded with thoughts of Ye Chen, Long Tian, and herself.
In the end, she hugged Long Tian's neck, savoring the passionate kiss.
****************
Meanwhile, on the balcony of a school building, Ye Chen's eyes widened as he saw something in the distance.
There, his girlfriend, Liu Qian, was kissing another guy!
