Chapter 28 An Encounter

Looking at Zuo Xiaotang's bitter and self-deprecating smile, An Lita felt a strange emotion. "Student Zuo, are you free?"

"Yes, is there anything I can help with? Though I'm not very capable." Zuo Xiaotang was a little embarrassed.

An Lita looked at the humble and modest Zuo Xiaotang, feeling inexplicably irritated. "I'm asking you a favor, you don't need to be embarrassed."

Zuo Xiaotang scratched his head. "I'm sorry."

"Don't be sorry, you haven't done anything to be sorry for!" An Lita suddenly got a little angry. "I came here for you. Do you dare to come with me?"

"Ah, okay." Zuo Xiaotang nodded.

*(You know, we are the biggest rivals, and you are so easily dealt with that many of the methods I prepared are useless!* An Lita said coldly, *This kind of person is not suitable for the struggles of the Apocalypse.)*

"Rivals? You mean Hao-ge? He's very powerful, I'm just a nobody." Zuo Xiaotang laughed. "I don't think you're a bad person."

An Lita smiled. Did this silly fatty even know what good and bad were? Appearance was justice, right? "Is that so? Then let's go."

Tan Ziyuan didn't go shopping with Lu Lingxiao. She wasn't very interested in that kind of thing to begin with, and she was writing something in a café.

In the dormitory, Lu Ying liked to go to bars, Sheng Man liked socializing, and Lu Lingxiao liked shopping. Tan Ziyuan's hobby was writing essays and poetry, purely as an amateur interest. Sometimes she would find a melody she liked and write lyrics for it, or just write whatever came to mind, expressing her feelings. Actually, her personality wasn't very compatible with mecha.

The environment at Hailong was excellent. She found an inconspicuous corner, enjoying the sunlight, and could stay there quietly for a long time. The coffee was a simple Hailong black coffee, rich and fragrant with a hint of sourness, which she liked. The transparent and simple glass had a lot of texture, and there was also a small piece of dark chocolate. Looking at the beautiful scenery outside the window and the warm sunshine, it was truly a pleasant place.

Tan Ziyuan felt great and suddenly had an inspiration, writing a few lines that she really liked, and couldn't help but read them over and over again.

"Hello, is anyone sitting here?" A soft voice sounded. It was a girl wearing sunglasses and a baseball cap, holding a cup of coffee.

Tan Ziyuan was slightly stunned, and suddenly realized who the person in front of her was. She smiled slightly, "Please, sit."

Arths, who had taken off her sunglasses, said, "Student Ziyuan, do you like writing poetry?"

Tan Ziyuan wasn't too surprised. "No, just some random sentences."

"Can I see them?" Arths asked.

"Sure." Tan Ziyuan looked at Arths, who was so close. Even at such a close distance, she was flawless. This was a girl that even girls couldn't help but be attracted to, but she was actually A Youyou.

How insignificant this love is in the torrent of time.

It disappears as soon as you let go.

I also want to laugh freely.

Saying life is so long.

Neither love nor you are important.

"Arths looked at it for a long time. "Can you give it to me? I really like it and want to set it to music."

Tan Ziyuan smiled. "It's my pleasure."

"When did you recognize me?" A Youyou suddenly asked.

"The first time I saw you." Tan Ziyuan smiled wryly. "If A Youyou was just A Youyou, that would be great."

"Is my makeup not good?" A Youyou was very confident in her skills.

Tan Ziyuan shook her head. "Maybe it's just a girl's intuition."

When Arths first appeared in front of everyone, when she walked towards Tianjing Mecha Academy, others saw Arths, but Tan Ziyuan had already seen Li Hao's shadow in Arths' eyes. That expression was exactly the same as A Youyou's, only when she looked at Li Hao would she look like that. And what about Li Hao's seemingly smooth but deliberate acting?

With his personality, was there anyone else besides A Youyou?

Probably everyone else would find it incredible, but she didn't think it was impossible for Arths to fall in love with Li Hao.

A Youyou also looked at the beautiful and gentle girl in front of her, as gentle as water and as inclusive as the sea, the type that you liked more and more the more you looked at her, the more you wanted to be around her.

The sentences in her hand were very, very beautiful. She really liked them at first sight.

The two of them didn't speak, silently finishing their coffee.

"Can we be friends?" A Youyou asked.

Tan Ziyuan was silent for a while. "We can't."

A Youyou nodded. "Thank you for the gift. You are a good opponent."

A Youyou left. Tan Ziyuan looked out the window, laughing and crying. She had actually become Arths' opponent.

Achoo, achoo.

Li Hao felt that there was something wrong with the air on the moon. His nose was always itchy. He was supposed to be on a date with A Youyou, but she had cancelled. He looked through the facilities of the Hailong mecha department and found a "Special Training Center," so he strolled over. Xili'an always managed to come up with some unique things. In any case, he was here to learn. If Xili'an asked him for help, he could take whatever he wanted.

But when he got to the entrance, he couldn't get in. The Hailong mecha department students stopped Li Hao.

"Sorry, no admittance for idlers. This is only open to Hailong students."

Li Hao smiled. "Hello, I'm here to participate in the exchange competition. Xili'an said that we can use the facilities listed here. Why don't you ask?"

"Exchange competition? Who are you?"

"Li Hao, from Tianjing Mecha Academy." Li Hao smiled.

The students' eyes clearly showed disdain. "Oh, sorry, if you want to use our facilities, you need to apply."

"Oh, okay, who do I apply to?"

"You're asking me? How should I know? Why are you Earthlings so troublesome!"

"Those from Earth just like to poke around, wanting to see everything."

Li Hao shrugged helplessly. "Guys, speak nicely."

"Heh, did you hear that? He's telling me to speak nicely. Being able to come to Hailong is a blessing that Tianjing Mecha Academy has accumulated for eight lifetimes. Letting you apply is just telling you to leave. This isn't a place you can come!"

Li Hao was a little dumbfounded. He hadn't even gotten angry yet, and these guys were already blowing up.

He didn't want to argue with them. If he couldn't come here, he could just go back to sleep. Just as he was about to leave, a low shout suddenly came, "What are you doing!"

Li Xiangshan and Tita walked out. Li Xiangshan's face was ugly. "What's with all this arrogance at Hailong? Tianjing Mecha Academy are our invited guests. Doesn't the handbook say that they can use the facilities? Why are you blocking them!"

Although Xili'an had suddenly appeared, Li Xiangshan's prestige in the mecha department was still unmatched, and he was the idol of many mecha department students. "Brother Shan, that's not it. Tianjing Mecha Academy is already lucky enough to be here. He must be here to spy on our information, so, so..."

Li Xiangshan looked at the group of narrow-minded guys with disappointment. "There's nothing secret here. Anyone can come. We're not afraid of any form of challenge. Brother Li, I'm sorry, I'll apologize for them."

Li Hao smiled and waved his hand. "It's okay, it's good to have a strong sense of security. I really just came to broaden my horizons."

Several junior students looked a little smug. Brother Shan was just too generous. This guy from Tianjing Mecha Academy finally knew his place.

Li Xiangshan always felt that the Moonlings were getting too cocky after winning a few times. It was from top to bottom, and they didn't realize how terrifying this S-match was. "Don't be unconvinced. He's not your target, but he's the target your idols are chasing."

Several young students looked at each other, not believing it at all, but they didn't dare to refute Li Xiangshan's authority.

"Old Li, that's enough, that's enough. Don't go around creating so much aggro." Li Hao quickly waved his hand.

"Hehe, Captain Li, excessive modesty is just pride. Since you're here, don't just stand around." Tita laughed.

Li Hao rubbed his nose, feeling that Tita was very restless, always wanting to stir up trouble. "Is it too late for me to leave now?"

"Of course... not!"

Li Hao was dragged in by Tita, and Li Xiangshan followed with a wry smile, leaving the Hailong students dumbfounded.

"This is mainly for detailed analysis of mecha and technology. Captain Xili'an established it two years ago."

"He prepared pretty early. You're leaking secrets." Li Hao laughed.

"With your strength, these things are meaningless." Li Xiangshan shook his head.

"Just kidding, Old Li, I feel like your state is a little off. What's wrong? Don't you have any thoughts about the S-match?" Li Hao suddenly said.

Li Xiangshan was slightly stunned. "How could that be? This is my last S-match. I will give everything to end it."

"Haha, don't say it so tragically. With you here, I'm looking forward to meeting Hailong in the finals." Li Hao laughed.

Li Xiangshan was slightly stunned, and a raging fire ignited in his eyes. For a warrior, nothing could ignite his fighting spirit more than recognition from the most respected opponent.

"Hehe, you're really cocky. Already reserving the finals, treating the heroes of the world as nothing, Captain Li!" Tita taunted.

"Cough cough, Tita, where did I offend you? Tell me, if you can't give me a reason, I'm going to get angry." Li Hao got straight to the point. He had also found a pattern: he couldn't be polite with Tita.

"No, you just offended me. Didn't you say you couldn't do the Battoujutsu? But you used it again, and you taught it to Musashi, you liar!"

"Big sister, I really didn't lie to you. What I did wasn't Battoujutsu, it was just drawing the sword. What Musashi uses is the real Battoujutsu. Or, you can talk to Musashi?" Li Hao said with a wry smile.

"Liar, hmph!" Tita pouted, not believing Li Hao's nonsense at all. "You're so stingy!"

Li Hao was speechless. Ma Long had only taught him that one move, and he didn't know what to do after that.

"Tita, that really isn't Battoujutsu." Li Xiangshan was silent for a moment. "The Battoujutsu that Musashi uses is indeed a skill that the Musashi family has honed over thousands of times, a killing blow that combines essence, energy, and spirit. Brother Li's sword sheath is actually to release the force. I'm sorry."

Li Xiangshan said to Li Hao, although he didn't say much, Li Hao could probably guess. But he didn't care. Xili'an had a bottom line, but it wasn't very high.
