When she returned to the apartment, sure enough, she was the only one there. There was no need to think much about it. Qi Zhenbai was obviously deliberately avoiding her. If it were before, she might have imagined that he was really busy and couldn’t come back. She might not have been able to resist calling him to console him.

But now that the man had made things clear, Chi Shuyan could guess that he had been lying when he said he was busy. He had most likely really decided to break up with her, and was deliberately avoiding her.

If it were before, Chi Shuyan could still be thick-skinned and remain here, but after knowing that the other party really wanted to break up with her, she really didn’t have the face to stay.

If she didn’t stay, where could she go?

Thinking this, Chi Shuyan was at a loss, and she smiled bitterly. Moreover, she was still unwilling to move out. If she stayed, there was still a chance that her misunderstanding with Qi Zhenbai could be resolved. If she moved out, however, they might really become strangers in the future.

She believed that Qi Zhenbai had feelings for her, but she had never felt that he couldn’t live without her. After all, who in this world couldn’t live without each other? Even couples who had been in a relationship for more than a decade could part ways and remarry.

She felt that her relationship with Qi Zhenbai couldn’t compare with those couples who had been together for more than a decade. Yet, many of them could still break up and go their separate ways, let alone her and Qi Zhenbai, who had only been together for less than half a year.

But this was her first relationship in two lifetimes, and she was wholehearted about it. She really wasn’t willing to break up just like that, but he had already made it clear that he wanted to end things. Did she still want to humiliate herself?

For a moment, Chi Shuyan didn’t know what to do about her relationship with Qi Zhenbai. The more she thought about it, the more her head hurt. Because of the exorcism tonight, she was exhausted and weak. She didn’t know when she fell asleep on the couch with the pillow in her arms.

When she woke up the next day, it was already 6:30 am. Because she had rested well, most of her exhaustion from last night had disappeared.

Chi Shuyan immediately meditated and circulated her spiritual energy. She realized that spiritual energy had started to coalesce in her dantian again, after she used up too much of her spiritual energy last night. After that, the spiritual energy grew more and more dense.

The eight vortexes in her body were filled up again, and the spiritual energy was even more abundant than before, pushing her close to the perfection stage. This was an unexpected surprise.

Chi Shuyan wasn’t in a hurry. She circulated her spiritual energy and let it spread through her limbs and bones. She was still a little short after filling all the eight vortexes with spiritual energy, but she wasn’t in a hurry. Even if she really broke through to the perfection stage of the fourth level of the Mystic Yin Arts, she wouldn’t be able to break through to the fifth level for the time being. After all, she still lacked too many resources for other breakthroughs. There was no hurry; there was still time.

When Chi Shuyan woke up from her meditation, it was almost 7:30am. She hurriedly got up, washed up, and heated up some food before rushing to school.

This time, she didn’t take the bus, but took a taxi.

As soon as she entered the university, she happened to run into Yang Lan and Zhen Yu.

Zhen Yu greeted her as usual, but Yang Lan stared at her with a complicated expression for a while before greeting her.

Chi Shuyan could tell that the other party was reluctant to greet her. She felt that she had done her best to be friends with Yang Lan. If the other party really took her anger out on her because of a man, she had no choice.

She used to take their friendship seriously, but now, she had thought it through. If the other party really fell out with her because of a man, there was no need for Chi Shuyan to be as sincere as before.

She really didn’t need this kind of fragile friendship.

Chi Shuyan’s face was expressionless. She nodded calmly at Yang Lan and sat down.

There were no classes with Counselor Zhang in the morning. Except for two Japanese elective classes, the other two were physical education classes, so the morning passed especially quickly.

After class, Chi Shuyan received a call from Brother Feng, who invited her out for a meal. Chi Shuyan tactfully turned down Zhen Yu’s invitation to eat together, saving her and Yang Lan from embarrassment.

Chi Shuyan and Brother Feng arranged to eat at Imperial Restaurant. She told Brother Feng about the private room which Chef Li put aside for her. She hurried to the private room.

Sure enough, Brother Feng was sitting inside.

Chi Shuyan could guess what Brother Feng wanted to ask her. As soon as she sat down, Feng Yuanlin was very enthusiastic, but the two of them were acquaintances, so it wasn’t awkward.

Feng Yuanlin placed the menu in front of Chi Shuyan and said very generously, “Shuyan, thank you so much for last night. Although I already thanked you last night, I have to thank you again this afternoon to express my sincerity! If it wasn’t for you, the consequences would have been unthinkable! What do you want to eat? Order as much as you want, it’s my treat!”

Feng Yuanlin was in a good mood today. There was a smile on his face. Coupled with his good looks, he gave off a very amiable and comfortable air.

Chi Shuyan was also hungry, so she didn’t stand on ceremony. She glanced at the menu and, when the waitress came in, she ordered everything she wanted and some of Brother Feng’s favorite dishes.

Feng Yuanlin’s smile widened and he said cheerfully, “Shuyan, the food you recommended is really delicious and memorable. It’s a good thing this restaurant does takeout!”

Because of what happened last time, no matter how delicious the food was, Feng Yuanlin hadn’t been in the mood. However, he had come a few times after that. He realized that the food here was really amazing. If he wasn’t busy at the station, he would come here every day to eat.

Chi Shuyan couldn’t help but laugh at Brother Feng’s words.

Feng Yuanlin didn’t waste time talking nonsense, and quickly got straight to the point. “By the way, Shuyan, I came this time to ask you if everything is fine now that the disaster has passed! Also, those brats at the hospital are fine now, right?”
