Ninety-nine Women Born with a Lonely Star (Complete) - Part 1

Chapter 1: Accidentally Ending Up in the Bed of a Beautiful Teacher

One night during the Grain in Ear season, lightning flashed, thunder roared, rain poured down, and a fierce wind howled. In a mountain village, the grandson of the Duan family was about to give birth. The dozen or so members of the Duan family were busy preparing, filled with anticipation and excitement. The only son of the third generation of the Duan family was about to be born.

Two miles away from the village, in a temple, with a snap, two ancient locust trees, over a hundred years old, were simultaneously broken by the strong wind. A young monk rushed to close the windows while calling out to an elderly monk, a solemn-faced man in his sixties, who was holding prayer beads and chanting sutras with his eyes closed, "Master, Master, I've never seen such heavy rain in my life! Is something terrible going to happen? The old locust trees in front of the door have been blown down!"

The old monk ignored him, and only after finishing reciting the entire *Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Sutra* did he open his eyes, scan the heavy rain outside, and slowly put down his prayer beads. The old monk, leaning on his staff, stood up, walked to the door, and looked up at the rainy sky. Through the downpour, he gazed directly at the Milky Way and suddenly saw a large star in the northwest corner of the Milky Way, twinkling and teetering, seemingly about to

fall. The old monk muttered to himself, "A cursed star is about to descend upon the world; the people of the world do not know whether this is a blessing or a curse." The young monk, hearing of the cursed star's arrival, was very excited. "Master, what kind of star is the cursed star? What kind of person will appear in the world? In which family will the cursed star descend?"

The old monk simply said, "Amitabha," and told him to go and chant his sutras. "Those are questions you shouldn't ask." The young monk knew his master didn't want to answer, and he could only say "Oh," and went to chant his sutras.

At midnight, accompanied by the torrential rain, a wisp of purple mist drifted down from the sky, carried by the rain, towards the east wing of the Duan family where the woman was about to give birth. A moment later, the cries of "Caw, caw, caw!" echoed throughout the valley, mingling with the thunder and lightning.

Immediately, a jubilant cheer erupted from the Duan family home. The midwife happily carried the newborn infant out of the room and brought him to Master Duan. "Master, it's born! A healthy little boy!"

Master Duan, his face etched with wrinkles, knelt on the ground with a thud, wailing, "Heavens above! I, Duan Zhishan, have an heir!" To the astonishment of his family, he smiled and fell backward.

"Father! Father! Father!" The mournful cries mingled with the baby's cries. The cries echoed each other.

It truly proved the saying: a cursed star descended upon the world; his loved ones would depart one

by one. Since he was a lone star, a life of solitude was his destiny; no one could accompany him for long. In a classroom at a prestigious high school in a certain region, Duan Tianya, sitting in the third row, twirled a ballpoint pen in one hand, propped his chin on the other, and squinted at the back of his beautiful teacher, dressed in a white shirt and skirt, her bright hair flowing down her shoulders.

The teacher's delicate chalk writing crossed the blackboard: "Ten years have passed, life and death are separated by a vast distance; I do not think of you, yet I cannot forget; a lonely grave a thousand miles away." "Nowhere to speak of my sorrow, even if we met again, we wouldn't recognize each other, my face covered in dust, my temples like twin

paulownia." Duan Tianya was engrossed in reading. For some reason, as the teacher wrote on the blackboard, his slightly thin back began to twitch. Although the sound was faint, he heard it. Was the teacher crying? He looked around. The students in the classroom were either reading, studying novels, or dozing off; no one seemed to notice.

Looking back at the podium, the teacher was still facing away from them. The twitching in his back hadn't subsided; instead, it had worsened, and the sounds were growing louder. Some of the more perceptive students had begun to notice, their faces filled with astonishment, completely bewildered.

Duan Tianya hesitated, unsure whether to go up to the teacher. Suddenly, he dropped his pen and walked straight to the podium, standing behind the teacher. From the side, he saw tears streaming down the teacher's beautiful face like fine raindrops. For no reason, Duan Tianya felt a pang of sadness. "Teacher, you don't seem to be feeling well. Why don't you go to your office and rest for a while?" Perhaps too deeply immersed in her own sorrow, she didn't even hear the student's words until Duan Tianya repeated, "Teacher, you're too tired. Go to the office and rest for a while. I'll let everyone study on their own."

The teacher turned slightly, tears streaming down her face, looking at the handsome class monitor who was almost half a head taller than her. She didn't know what to say. Duan Tianya handed her a handkerchief. "Teacher, this poem has saddened you. Go to the office and rest for a while!"

The teacher stared vaguely at the class monitor's slightly mischievous yet captivating eyes. Although she wanted to finish explaining the poem, she obediently nodded and whispered, "Thank you!" Then, covering her nose, she rushed out of the classroom.

Duan Tianya felt a wave of relief. He picked up the textbook and notes left by the teacher, looked at the students all staring at him, and announced, "Teacher Zhang Meiran isn't feeling well and has gone to rest. This class can be rescheduled." His expression suddenly changed to a smile. "Everyone, go about your business as usual, just don't let the supervising dean see you."

Sitting in his seat, Duan Tianya idly flipped through Zhang Meiran's notes. After a few pages, a bookmark fell out. He held it in his hand; it read, "Having seen the vast ocean, other waters are nothing; having beheld the clouds of Wushan, other clouds are nothing." He knew this was a famous poem by a poet named Yuan Shen, written for his deceased wife. "Having seen the vast ocean," he thought, seeing that the object of his affection had a deeply unforgettable lover, and that they had once shared a poignant and lingering past. Recalling the words on the blackboard, this must be it. Thinking of this, Duan Tianya felt a wave of helplessness. But why did such love cause such heartbreak?

Duan Tianya shook his head with a wry smile, muttering to himself, "It's a pity I haven't experienced the vast ocean, otherwise I could at least offer some comfort to this incredibly lovable teacher!"

Qin Haixia, sitting directly in front of him in the second row, turned her head and asked worriedly, "Are you alright? What's with this 'vast ocean' and 'vast river'? Can you tell me about

it?" Duan Tianya looked at this classmate who often showed concern for him, unsure of what to say. He pursed his lips and said, "Hurry up and study, the final exams are coming up." A hint of anger flashed across Qin Haixia's beautiful face. "Every time I want to talk to you, you tell me to study. Why did you meddle in Zhang Tianran's business just now? Of all the boys, you're the most amorous. Seeing you staring at her with such a lecherous look makes me angry. But it'll only be for today. Starting tomorrow, you won't see her anymore.

" Duan Tianya asked excitedly, "Are you kidding me? She teaches perfectly well, how could I not see her? You're kidding me!" Qin

Haixia's anger intensified, remaining stubborn and ignoring him.

Duan Tianya knew further questioning was futile; he'd just have to ask her himself.

At noon, Duan Tianya sat alone in the classroom for a long time, hesitating, fiddling with a bookmark for a long time before finally grabbing his books and notes and heading to the office. The office door was ajar. Zhang Tianran sat quietly in a chair, her back to him, gazing at the blue sky and white

clouds outside the window. Duan Tianya walked up to her, gently setting down his notes and textbook. "Teacher, your notes and book!"

Zhang Tianran turned around at the sound of his voice, staring at Duan Tianya for a long time before saying, "Thank you so much!"

Duan Tianya looked at this woman who had captivated him, at a loss for words. Though Zhang Meiran hadn't shed tears, she displayed a sorrow deeper than any tears could express. He longed to embrace her and tell her, "If you're truly heartbroken, cry your heart out, let your tears fall on my shoulder! No wound is incurable, no hardship is insurmountable, and no love is insurmountable!"

Perhaps to ease the awkward atmosphere, Duan Tianya pulled a bamboo flute from his pocket. "Teacher, I heard from my classmates that you're leaving tomorrow to go back to Beijing. I don't have anything to give you, but I'd like to play a piece for you, is that alright?"

Zhang Tianran also felt the atmosphere was too solemn, so he tried to relax and put on a smile. "Sure! I've often heard my classmates say you play the flute well, but I've never heard it before!"

Duan Tianya nodded, put the flute to his lips, and a melodious and poignant tune began to flow:

This time, I've truly decided to leave, to escape that unchanging sorrow, to make you forget your worries, forget your concerns, and let go of all this chaos. The boundless, affectionate melody enveloped them both. Duan Tianya's longing mingled with Zhang Meiran's sadness, making them momentarily forget where they were. Gradually, Zhang Meiran also softly sang along to the tune. "This time, I've truly decided to leave, to escape that unchanging sorrow, to make you forget your worries, forget your concerns, and let go of all this chaos. Oh! Oh! Oh! Embrace the setting sun for you to pluck, oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Hold onto this moment, forever blooming for you!"

As the song ended, Duan Tianya saw tears welling in his teacher's eyes, but no sound of crying escaped.

Duan Tianya's heart broke. He had made his teacher sad again. Ever since this most beautiful female teacher in the entire school was assigned to the school half a year ago, he had become deeply infatuated with her.

Duan Tianya wasn't a pessimist; he usually won the hearts of all his students with his laughter and humor. However, after meeting this melancholic and beautiful female teacher, his laughter vanished! But he wasn't giving up. Even if she was ice, he would melt her at least once. "Teacher, if you don't mind, I'll accompany you for a walk around the campus!"

Zhang Meiran smiled gently. "You think you're my boyfriend? You're my student. I'm going back to Beijing tomorrow, and people will talk about you!"

Duan Tianya shrugged. "I never ask what others say when I do things. Life is too short to live by other people's opinions."

Zhang Meiran stepped forward, looking into his persistent yet slightly angry eyes, and suddenly felt an overwhelming surge of excitement, uttering words she herself found hard to believe: "Are you free tonight? I'd like you to have coffee with me!"

Duan Tianya was overjoyed. She had asked him out! Even though it was their first and perhaps last date, he didn't hesitate for a moment. "What time? Where?" "

After your self-study session tonight, I can't let it interfere with your studies. 9:30, the 'Deep Affection' Waterfront Dance Hall."

Duan Tianya's joy was indescribable, but he was usually quite reserved when happy. He smiled slightly, "Teacher, I keep my promise, don't forget, see you there!"

Zhang Tianran smiled faintly, "Don't worry!"

Duan Tianya excitedly left, knocking books off another teacher's desk without noticing. Zhang Tianran picked up the books for him, lost in thought—perhaps she herself didn't realize—a long-lost smile appeared on her lips.

During evening self-study, Duan Tianya was handing out math tests at the podium. Oh dear! Liu Dapao, who came up to collect the exam papers, shouted, "Comrades, look! Doesn't our class monitor look like a groom today?!" The boys and girls in the class couldn't help but look up. Indeed, the class monitor looked incredibly handsome today. His hair was slicked back with mousse, parted to the side, and he wore an Adidas suit with a tie, and his crocodile leather shoes were polished to a shine!

Liu Dapao shoved Duan Tianya, exclaiming in admiration, "Class monitor, this outfit must have cost at least a thousand or two, right?" Duan Tianya smiled and whispered, "It's over three thousand, but it was borrowed from a brother who doesn't go to school and runs a specialty store. Go down and take the exam. What are you yelling about? If you talk nonsense, I'll cripple you." Duan Tianya grabbed a handful of chalk and crushed it to pieces. Liu Dapao knew what was coming and walked down with his head down, holding the exam papers.

Seeing his classmates all chattering at him, he knew he had to say something. "I'm not a celebrity. One of my buddies owns a boutique and insisted on giving me a piece of clothing to wear for two days. I'll wear it for two days, but stop messing around!" one classmate said, taking advantage of the situation. "Class monitor, from now on, we'll be relying on you for clothes for our dates."

Duan Tianya almost broke out in a cold sweat. How could he not have thought of this? He thought, "Let

's calm this down first, and we'll deal with the rest later!" "Hmm! It shouldn't be a problem," Duan Tianya said with a handsome smile. With their goals achieved, everyone quieted down and started doing their papers.

Back at his seat, Qin Haixia turned around and scrutinized him, then said sourly, "Not bad, huh? Going to see that vixen, huh?" Duan Tianya was so angry he almost slapped her, but he knew he couldn't cause trouble now, or his date that night would be ruined. Duan Tianya shrugged and buried himself in his paper.

Qin Haixia, seeing that he was completely ignoring her, became increasingly furious. "What are you capable of? If you've got the guts, then keep that vixen with you!" After saying that, he turned and went back to work on his test paper without looking back.

Duan Tianya's face flushed red, his knuckles cracking as he clenched his fists, but he held back.

Reaching the edge of the room, he saw a beautiful woman with black hair, dressed entirely in black, sitting by the railing. Duan Tianya recognized her immediately—it was Zhang Meiran.

He sat down opposite her. "Teacher!" Zhang Meiran, who was gazing at the bright moon over the river, turned around, her eyes lighting up. This was her student! So handsome! A perfect clothes hanger. If Duan Tianya's natural good looks were only seven points, this outfit would be a perfect ten. His broad forehead, sharp eyebrows, and high, straight nose, combined with his eyes that held a mixture of determination, courage, infatuation, and a hint of mischief, made him wonder how many girls would fall for him in the future. Thinking about it, a touch of sadness welled up inside him. But in the dim neon lights, no one would see it.

Duan Tianya was already mesmerized. Zhang Meiran had clearly been meticulously groomed tonight; her black hair cascaded down her back, her willow-leaf style was obviously styled, and her long eyelashes fluttered over her sorrowful eyes. Her delicate nose and cherry-like lips stirred a powerful desire within him.

A gust of evening breeze blew by, and he turned his head away, snapping his fingers! "Waiter, coffee! Two cups!"

A waiter in a suit approached. "Sir, which kind of coffee would you like?"

Duan Tianya looked at Zhang Meiran, who suddenly asked, "Tianya, are you alright drinking baijiu?"

Duan Tianya asked with concern, "I'm fine. I was worried it might harm your health." Zhang Meiran smiled reassuredly, "Baijiu, the strongest kind."

The waiter replied, "Just a moment, coming right away!"

Duan Tianya hesitated, "Teacher?"

Zhang Meiran comforted him, "It's alright, maybe you'll pass out first!"

Duan Tianya felt relieved. Perhaps she really did have a huge capacity for alcohol; he'd heard that some female sommeliers at distilleries could easily down several bottles of the strongest baijiu.

The drinks arrived, and Duan Tianya hadn't noticed before, but each glass here could easily hold half a jin (250ml). He thought to himself, "This damn karaoke bar, they just want to sell more alcohol, aren't they afraid of people drinking themselves to death!"

After pouring the wine, Zhang Meiran raised her glass. "A toast to meeting such a special student like you in this unfamiliar city!" Duan Tianya's mood brightened. "A toast to the fate of having such a beautiful teacher like you!" He then took a symbolic sip.

Zhang Meiran, however, tossed her head back and gulped it down. It happened so fast that Duan Tianya couldn't stop her in time! "

What are you doing?" Duan Tianya snatched the glass away and stood up.

Perhaps because she drank too quickly, a blush immediately appeared on Zhang Meiran's face, but she grabbed Duan Tianya's hand. "Give it to me, I'll drink slowly. Trust me, you've never seen my drinking capacity."

Duan Tianya had never felt so embarrassed. He had always been calm and composed before, but today, for some reason, he still handed the glass back to her. He gave it to Zhang Meiran.

Zhang Meiran happily poured herself a glass; this second glass was to thank her for her care.

Duan Tianya also raised his glass, as if transported back to half a year ago.

One day, Duan Tianya went to the train station to pick up a classmate. After waiting for an hour, he received a call saying he couldn't come that day; the train had to be rerouted because it passed through a military exercise route.

Just as he was feeling somewhat disappointed, his eyes suddenly lit up. A woman dressed entirely in purple was pulling several bags, walking a few meters and then resting every few meters. He had tried to hail a taxi several times, but the taxis were insensitive; seeing the large amount of luggage and the difficult road to the destination, they all refused to take him.

He was initially hesitant, wondering if he should do a good deed, since he had nothing else to do, but seeing all that stuff, and then the woman's unadorned face, Duan Tianya strode over.

The woman's beauty made him disregard everything.

That woman was Zhang Meiran. Coincidentally, Zhang Meiran came to their school, and incredibly, she was his Chinese teacher.

Snapping out of her reverie, Zhang Meiran finished her second glass. Tears welled up in

Zhang Meiran's eyes again. "Tianya, can I tell you a story?"

Duan Tianya knew that this date tonight might be for this story. "

Okay! Go ahead!

" A holy light suddenly shone on Zhang Meiran's face, revealing a strange expression. "In high school, around your age, I met my lover. We were very close from the beginning of high school. We usually ran together in the mornings, ate together, studied together, and sometimes in class, if I glanced at him, he would often be looking at me too, and we would both turn our faces away. However,

our grades were excellent, always in the top three of the grade. Back then, our classmates called us the 'Condor Heroes.' When it came time for the college entrance exam, we originally planned to apply to Peking University together, but he suddenly said he wanted to apply to Beihang University, but I ultimately didn't stop him.

In Beijing, we still loved each other so much, making the most of every possible time to be together." We planned to get married after graduation, but one day two soldiers came to my dorm. They told me he had died in a plane crash.

At this point, Zhang Meiran was already sobbing uncontrollably. If Duan Tianya had felt an uncontrollable surge of jealousy when she spoke of their past love, hearing of his death only brought him regret and sorrow.

A thought crossed his mind: she really should thank him; otherwise, she wouldn't have come to this unfamiliar city and met him, a complete stranger.

Duan Tianya stood up and whispered in Zhang Meiran's ear, "Teacher, the past is the past. Think about it, he's not the only one who loves you. Shall I dance with you?"

Perhaps it was the sincerity in Duan Tianya's eyes, but Zhang Meiran stood up and took his hand.

On the dance floor, the two embraced. "Teacher, do you remember that time?!" A strange light shone in Zhang Meiran's eyes, half-conscious. "That time, I really owe you so much!" "

In a hazy memory, Zhang Meiran was transported by a melodious tune to a night three months ago.

That night, the wind was strong and the moon was high.

At 9:30 pm, after finishing her Chinese self-study, Zhang Meiran hurried back to her small apartment when suddenly five or six thugs wielding gleaming long knives appeared behind her. '

Don't move, come with us!'

Zhang Meiran had never seen anything like it before and was terrified, but she still tried to remain calm and asked, 'What are you doing? I don't have much money. I'm just a poor teacher.'

From the darkness, a guy with a noticeable scar on his face approached her face. 'Beautiful lady, we don't want your money. We just want you to play with each of us brothers once. If you're willing, not only will we not ask you for money, we'll even give you money!'" "

Slap!" Zhang Tianran slapped Scarface hard across the face! "

You little slut, you won't listen to reason, so here we are! Brothers, get her! Bring this hot beauty back to help you!

" Hearing their leader's order, several thugs rushed forward. Zhang Tianran cried out in despair, "Let me go! You hooligans! Help! Help!"

Many students and teachers passed by this road during evening self-study, but intimidated by the thugs' usual tyranny, they all stood at a distance, none daring to approach.

At this critical moment, a figure pounced. In the moonlight, a series of screams and bloodcurdling cries echoed throughout the campus. Finally, Zhang Meiran, terrified, was overjoyed to find that the person standing there was actually the one who had saved her life. She went over and saw that it was her student, Duan Tianya. The guys on the ground were screaming like pigs being slaughtered. Zhang Meiran... Tears streaming down her face, Zhang Meiran ran into Duan Tianya's arms. "Oh dear! What's wrong?" she cried, clutching his trembling arm. In the moonlight, she felt something sticky and warm flowing down his arm. Tears streamed down her face like silken

beads. The music began to intensify; the alcohol was taking effect, and memories were a powerful stimulant. Duan Tianya smelled a woman's fragrance he had never encountered before, a scent that gradually overwhelmed him. A strong desire rose within him uncontrollably. Looking at Zhang Meiran, she too was changing; memories made her more... Zhang Meiran felt a gentle warmth wash over her, her face flushed, her breath quickening. She pressed herself against Duan Tianya, as if wanting to become one with him. Duan Tianya, unable to resist the temptation, followed the scent of her hair, kissing her from her smooth forehead, delicate eyebrows, half-closed eyes, and the fine lines of her nose. His

kisses lingered on her warm lips, and their tongues began to intertwine. Under the neon lights and the blaring music, they entwined, until they were lost in their own world.

Duan Tianya helped Zhang Meiran from the taxi to the small room the school had specially assigned for her. He was exhausted. She fumbled for her key, trying to open the door for a while, but couldn't. Suddenly, she twisted the key, not even having time to turn on the light, and the two of them collapsed onto the bed by the door. A gust of wind blew, and the door slammed shut.

Duan Tianya didn't know how much time had passed when he felt two firm, full bodies rubbing against his body, a fragrant, soft tongue slipping into his lips and intertwining with his own.

For a fleeting second, Duan Tianya hesitated—"She's my teacher"—but that thought vanished in an instant. Replaced by "She's my teacher," and even more so... My woman

Zhang Meiran's suppressed moans drifted out of the window. Outside, the moon was still bright, a gentle breeze was blowing

, and cicadas were chirping incessantly. The morning sunlight was particularly dazzling. When Duan Tianya woke up, he felt refreshed and incredibly comfortable. Reaching to his right, he was shocked. The lingering fragrance remained, but she was gone. He lifted the blanket, and a pale purple paper slipped to the floor.

Tianya:

I'm gone. You brought me here, but I left alone.

I was supposed to go back after that accident, but I didn't. Do you know why?

I think... It's because of you!

These past six months have felt too long, yet the ten minutes before parting feel too short, truly too short. But reason tells me I have to go.

For my sake, and for yours, your studies have been somewhat affected during this time. I hope you get into the school I attend, you know?

After his accident, I thought I would never love again, never fall in love with anyone. But six months later, I realized I was wrong. Terribly wrong!

I've fallen hopelessly in love with you, my student. Fate truly plays cruel tricks!

I said it was because of... I don't know if this feeling is what's called a tragic love affair, or if it's truly a destined connection. I need time to think, and you need to think too. You need to study hard; I heard your family isn't well-off, so getting into a good university would be a good way out for you.

Time will tell, including feelings! I'm very confused myself. I dated him for eight years, but I gave you my virginity. I really don't understand why. Of course, no matter what happens in the future, I don't regret my first time. I believe that if we're destined to meet again, we will. Let this parting celebrate our reunion! I will be sending you my deepest blessings from another city! Also, I'm sending you a cassette tape that best expresses my feelings right now—the song is called "When I Met You." Listen to it when you miss me; it expresses all my unspoken words.

Goodbye, my student; goodbye, my love!

Mei Ran

turned her head, and Duan Tianya saw a Sooli Walkman left on the bedside table. He opened it and saw a cassette tape inside. He pressed a button, and a few seconds later, the familiar music began to play.

{When I Met You}

So many changes in this short life

, and then slowly I settled into the ordinary.

I forgot how much I didn't want to lose him, but in the end, I lost him!

Yet, my empty heart is filled with longing,

the wind blows ceaselessly, a feeling both real and unreal.

I will spare no effort to weave another home ahead!

Now I don't want to think about it,

I don't want to be troubled. Who is there to ease my fear?

Do you know what happened to you? I couldn't wait for him for even a moment.

You were there, causing the change. Even in

my bitterness, I couldn't help but utter these words of

love. Do you believe I love you?

I can actually bear the scars of heartache!

In that final moment!

You unknowingly replaced him forever!!!

Duan Tianya's tears flowed silently down his cheeks. Looking at the room, now clean and mostly devoid of her belongings, his grief deepened, for he didn't know if this separation was temporary or forever.

He took a deep breath, got out of bed, and with a sweep of his arm, lifted the covers. He wanted to tidy up the place one last time. Folding the blankets and placing them on the bedside table, he noticed several bright red plum blossom stains on the sheets, scattered and varying in size.

Duan Tianya knew these were testaments to their love.

A slight smile involuntarily appeared on his lips. He wasn't a sentimentalist, but the saying "one is influenced by one's company" was truly undeniable! He picked up his Walkman and the purple paper dagger, closed the door, and left. The birds outside the window chirped incessantly.

Time passed quickly, and after the final exams, Duan Tianya returned to his hometown.

Chapter Two: Farewell, Background, and Extraordinary Abilities

The morning sunlight was particularly dazzling. When Duan Tianya woke up, he felt refreshed and incredibly comfortable. Reaching to his right, he was shocked. The lingering fragrance remained, but the person was gone. He lifted the blanket, and a pale purple paper dagger slipped to the floor.

Tianya:

I'm leaving. You brought me here, but I'm leaving alone.

I was supposed to go back after that accident, but I didn't. Do you know why?

I think it's because of you!

These past six months have felt too long, but these last ten minutes feel too short, really too short. But reason tells me I have to go.

For my sake, and even more so for you, your studies have been somewhat affected during this time. I hope you get into the school I attend, you know?

After his accident, I thought I would never love again, never fall in love with anyone, but six months later, I realized I was wrong. Terribly wrong!

I've fallen hopelessly in love with you, my student. Fate is truly cruel!

When I said "for my own sake," I meant I don't know if this feeling is what's called a tragic love, or if it's true destiny. I need time to think, and you need to think too. You need to study hard. I heard your family isn't well-off; getting into a good university would be a good way out for you.

Time will tell, including feelings! I find it very strange myself. I dated him for eight years, yet I gave my virginity to you. I really don't understand why. Of course, no matter what happens in the future, I don't regret my first time. I believe that if fate allows, we will meet again. Let this separation be a prelude to our reunion! I will be in another city, sending you my deepest blessings! Here's a cassette tape that best expresses my feelings right now—it's called "When I Met You." Listen to it when you miss me; it expresses all my unspoken emotions.

Goodbye, my student; goodbye, my love!

Mei Ran

turned her head and saw a Sooli Walkman on the bedside table. She opened it and found a cassette tape inside. She pressed a button, and a few seconds later, the familiar song began to play.

"When I Met You" —So

many changes in this short life,

yet I've slowly entered the ordinary.

I forgot how much I didn't want to lose him, but I finally lost him!

Yet, my heart is empty,

filled with longing. The wind blows ceaselessly, a feeling that's both real and unreal.

I'll spare no effort to build another home for you!

Now I don't want to think about it anymore, I don't want to be bothered.

Who is there that makes me no longer afraid?

Do you know what happened when I met you? I couldn't wait for him to come back. You were

there, causing the change.

My heart aches, yet I can't help but utter these words of love.

Do you believe I love you?

I can actually bear the scars of heartache!

In that final moment!

You've unknowingly replaced him forever!

Tears streamed silently down Duan Tianya's face. Looking at the room, now spotless, with virtually no of her belongings left, his grief deepened, for he didn't know if this separation was temporary or forever.

He took a deep breath, got out of bed, and with a sweeping motion, lifted the covers. He wanted to tidy up the place one last time. Folding the blankets and placing them on the bedside table, he noticed several bright red plum blossom prints on the sheets, scattered and varying in size.

Duan Tianya knew these were testaments to their love.

A slight smile involuntarily appeared on his lips. He wasn't a sentimentalist; the saying "one is influenced by one's company" was truly undeniable! He picked up his Walkman and the purple paper slip, closed the door, and left. The birds outside the window chirped incessantly.

Time passed quickly; after the final exams, Duan Tianya returned to his hometown.

Duan Tianya didn't return to his hometown but went back to the temple. To him, home was just a few dilapidated houses, deserted and empty. He grew up in the temple, not far from home, so his feelings for that place were the deepest!

*Knock! Knock! Knock!* Duan Tianya happily knocked on the temple door!

Master Jingyi opened the door. Seeing Duan Tianya, Jingyi was also very happy, "It's Tianya back! I've come to carry your bag."

Before Duan Tianya could even refuse, the middle-aged monk had already taken his bag! However, he wouldn't be rude to this monk; he had basically been raised by him since childhood! "Come in quickly! Master is waiting for you!"

Duan Tianya was very happy. "Did Master know I was coming back today? I haven't seen him for so long!" "

Yes! Don't let Master's usual taciturn nature fool you; he's been talking about you for days now that you're back!"

Tianya was deeply moved. This master had been incredibly kind to him; he was like a grandfather to him, taking care of everything for him from childhood to adulthood!

Upon entering the Buddhist hall, an elderly monk, over eighty years old, with a beaming smile, stepped forward and took Duan Tianya's hand. "Tianya, you're back!" "

Greetings, Master!" Duan Tianya helped him up, saying there was no need for further greetings. "

How could I? The greetings are essential!" Before the old monk could stop him, Duan Tianya respectfully kowtowed three times on the ground.

The old monk looked at the spirited young man standing up with satisfaction. "Good! It's good you're back. I have something to tell you. Jingyi, go boil water for Tianya's bath. Tianya, come with me!"

The old monk leaned on his staff, which was resting by the table, and strode out first. Duan Tianya was confused, but since his master had spoken, he didn't say anything and followed.

Seeing that his master was heading in the direction of his home, Duan Tianya couldn't help but ask, "Is this our home?"

The old monk didn't answer, but instead said as he walked, "Duan Tianya, do you remember how old you are this year?"

Master, if I remember correctly, I turned eighteen in the next few days!

" Your memory is good. After midnight tomorrow, you'll be exactly eighteen!

Do you know what I'm planning to tell you today,

Duan Tianya?" "This foolish disciple doesn't know, please enlighten me, Master.

" The old monk said, "It's time. Eighteen years old, your early years are over. I should tell you about your background. There are some things you should know, and it's time for you to know them!

" Duan Tianya was still confused. "Master, I'm just an ordinary person! Is there something special about me?"

Duan Tianya's home wasn't far from the temple, and soon the two arrived at Duan Tianya's house.

It was an old-fashioned house, a courtyard house, eight rooms wide and four rooms wide, surrounded by a wall. Although it still had some grandeur, it had fallen into disrepair over the years and lost its former glory.

The old monk pointed to the west side of the house. "Tianya, look what's that?"

Tianya followed his master's finger and saw that the peach trees around the lotus pond in his house were in full bloom. He was a little puzzled. Master said, "In my memory, these peach trees never bloom. What happened this year?" "

Master rarely smiled. This peach blossom had been blooming profusely since the beginning of the year, and it never faded!

Duan Tianya thought he had misheard and asked his master with a laugh, 'Master, are you kidding me? Peach blossoms only bloom once a year, how can there be peach blossoms that bloom all year round? Wouldn't that be a wonder of the world?'

Master said seriously, 'Wonder of the world is nothing to talk about. Within the Five Elements and the Three Realms, there are things that conform to the rules and are normal, and there are correspondingly some anomalies, like you!'

Duan Tianya was somewhat surprised. If some other ignorant fellow had said these words, he might have already punched them. However, these words came from the mouth of his respected, admired, and benevolent master, who had given him a second life. He couldn't help but think that there must be a reason for his master's words.

Looking at Duan Tianya's confused eyes, Master said, 'Do you believe that everything in nature has a cause and effect?'" "

To be honest, Duan Tianya had a lot of doubts about his master's words. Although he grew up in a temple and learned many Buddhist scriptures, he spent most of his time in school. School education teaches students not to be superstitious, that the world is without gods, and that people's destiny is entirely in their own hands. It says that at some point, the universe had a Big Bang, forming the solar system, the Earth, water, cells, and then fish. The fish came ashore and evolved into monkeys. When the monkeys got tired of crawling, they stood up and became humans!"

However, this theory didn't explain how the universe came to be, what's outside the universe, whether the universe is the largest, how the Big Bang was formed, and many other questions..."

"Tianya, are you listening to me?"

Duan Tianya looked around blankly, nodding repeatedly!

The old monk wasn't angry, but said, "Tianya, you have doubts about the cause and effect I'm talking about, right?"

Tianya didn't know how to answer. He didn't want to lie to his master or to himself.

The old monk said, "Tianya, I can make a bet with you. If I can tell you what you were thinking just now, you must believe in the cause and effect your master is talking about!"

Tianya, also curious, asked, "Master, although I know you are very powerful, I really don't believe you can know what I'm thinking. Besides, even if you could tell me what I'm thinking, it has nothing to do with cause and effect! "

The old monk replied, "Cause and effect means that the universe is a fundamental point. Everything originates from this point and returns to it. What you were thinking just now, although it was only a moment ago, has already left an impression in the universe. As long as I can perceive that slight impression in the universe, I can tell you what you're thinking. However, the cause of your thinking process is not created by me, but rather confirmed by your immortal soul throughout countless lifetimes. I am merely repeating it; the cause lies within yourself!"

What the master said was a bit mystical, but it also seemed to make some sense. If he could truly tell what you were thinking, then there wouldn't be true cause and effect; everything would be predetermined!

Duan Tianya felt a little terrified, but also somewhat eager. "Master, tell me what I was thinking just now. If you can explain it, I'll believe your explanation of cause and effect is true!"

The old monk looked at Duan Tianya carefully for a while. "What you were thinking just now was: 'School education teaches students not to be superstitious. This world is without gods. Human destiny is entirely in one's own hands. Sometime during the universe, there was a Big Bang, forming the solar system, the Earth, water, cells, and then fish. The fish went ashore and evolved into monkeys. When the monkeys got tired of crawling, they stood up and became humans!'"

Duan Tianya was almost stunned. His master was saying exactly what he had just thought. Almost word for word. If it weren't for his master, he would have been horrified that someone had recorded his thoughts!

Duan Tianya laughed!

The old monk laughed too!

Duan Tianya was that kind of person. If he didn't believe something, he wouldn't believe it even if you beat him to death!

But if you could prove it to him, he would investigate the matter himself.

Duan Tianya: "Master, how did you do that!"

The old monk stared at Duan Tianya's forehead for a long time without saying a word. "You've recently had a romantic encounter, and it's already happened!

" Duan Tianya was shocked: "Master, no way, you could even see that? That's amazing! You have to teach me this skill!"

The old monk was unimpressed. "It's just a small trick. It's recorded in many of my books. You can ask Jingyi for it and learn it.

" The old monk suddenly turned to look at the northwest sky. Tianya: "I want to tell you a story. Would you like to hear it?"

Duan Tianya felt that his master was different today. He even talked about his romantic encounter. He wondered what strange tale he would hear this time. How could he not want to hear it?

"Master, just tell me what you want to say!"

"Alright! Eighteen years ago, on a stormy night, the Ziwei Grand Star, the Lone Star of Heavenly Calamity, which had not appeared in the world for eight hundred years, suddenly descended!

Duan Tianya was very curious. His master had brought up all sorts of nonsensical tales he'd only ever heard in mythological stories, yet he couldn't refute a single word his master said. "

What kind of star is the 'Lone Star of Calamity'? I've only heard in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms that Zhuge Liang worshipped the Big Dipper at Wuzhangyuan, so what kind of star is Zhuge Liang? He must be a great star!"

"Zhuge Liang is just an auxiliary star. No matter how clever he is, he can only help others succeed. Besides, he defied the heavens, trying to unify the world by his own strength—overestimating his own abilities. Like an ant trying to hold up a giant tree! What's there to say about him!"

Duan Tianya couldn't believe his master spoke of Zhuge Liang, the embodiment of wisdom, so poorly!

"Then, Master, what are the characteristics of someone born under the 'Lone Star of Calamity'?"

The old monk stroked his beard, speaking in Chinese characters, "Arrogant, hot-blooded, independent, self-reliant, destined for loneliness!"

"The 'Lone Star of Calamity' is a solitary star, attracting anyone but unable to stay with anyone for long, especially its close relatives. Generally, before the age of six, relatives within three generations and five degrees of kinship will pass away due to a series of natural disasters and man-made calamities.

" Duan Tianya felt an unprecedented fear surge in his chest. "What happened to the relatives of that 'Lone Star of Calamity' born eighteen years ago?"

The old monk shook his head and sighed deeply. "His grandparents, parents, uncles, aunts, and eighteen other relatives within three generations and five degrees of kinship all passed away before he was five, one after another, due to illness, car accidents, tuberculosis, mental illness...."

Even the incredibly brave Duan Tianya couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat!

"Master, can I know who that 'Lone Star of Calamity' is?"

Duan Tianya's palms were sweating! Although his master never told him about his background, his senior brother had told him bits and pieces. He didn't know why he had neither a father nor a mother. When he was in school, he was always bullied because of this, and he would always fight back relentlessly, regardless of how tall or big his bullies were or whether he could win!

He was often beaten black and blue by older students, but no matter how his senior brother asked why, he wouldn't answer. Tears welled up in his eyes, but he stubbornly held them back.

Hearing his master's words, he could no longer hold back his tears, large drops silently sliding down his cheeks.

"The old monk sighed deeply, 'You are a cursed star!'"

Duan Tianya's heart shattered. He never imagined he was the culprit behind his family's misfortune!

The old monk wiped away Duan Tianya's tears with his sleeve: "Tianya! Misfortune and fortune always go hand in hand. You only focus on your pain, but you have actually benefited greatly from your background!"

Duan Tianya looked at his master strangely! Chapter

Three: The Stunning Female Model

On the way back to school, Duan Tianya kept playing with the crystal-clear luminous pearl in his hand, recalling the things his master had done for him, filled with emotion. Remembering the letter Jingyi had given him, he quickly opened it from his bag.

Tianya: If you see this letter, your master has already gone to the Western Paradise, and our master-disciple relationship will come to an end. The dragon pearl we stole from the evil dragon should now be one with you. The dragon and I share a deep connection, which I won't elaborate on here. I'll just tell you a few things: Longyun Temple is where you grew up, and it will always be your home. You can return anytime, no matter what you encounter in the outside world. Although I am a Buddhist disciple, before becoming a monk, I was deeply fond of Taoist arts and had studied them. Some of my records are kept by Jingyi; you can refer to them when you need them.

The Dragon Ball possesses immense energy, but dragons are extremely lustful and enjoy mating with any female. You must exercise restraint, otherwise you will harm yourself and others. The Dragon Ball contains a great deal of energy, some of which I myself am not fully aware of. Therefore, you must continuously develop your potential and fully utilize this extraordinary power.

Finally, I want to say that fate brings us together and separates us; it is both predetermined and unpredictable. Use everything that Heaven has given you and live happily. That will bring you comfort! Master

left this message

. Duan Tianya looked out the car window at the endless mountains, speechless and tearless. Master's love for him was too deep. He wanted him to be happy, so why didn't he do as he said? Live happily every day to comfort Master's spirit in heaven.

Inside the classroom, the students were taking an exam. Duan Tianya's math scores were top-notch; multiple-choice and fill-in-the-blank questions were a piece of cake for him. He could easily figure out the teacher's intentions for the longer questions, and with a few quick strokes, he filled them all in. He hadn't scored below 140 on any math test since the beginning of high school.

He handed his exam paper to the teacher and left the classroom.

For some reason, he felt irritable and restless today!

"Hey, kick the ball over here!" Duan Tianya glanced at the ball a few meters away, and suddenly felt a surge of excitement. He took three easy running-up steps, and with the outside of his foot, unleashed a powerful shot. The ball, from eighty meters away from the opponent's goal, flew with meteoric speed, almost horizontally, into the top right corner of the net.

The opposing goalkeeper didn't have time to react; the ball was in the back of the net.

Someone on the field started clapping, and all twenty-two players clapped rhythmically.

Duan Tianya was also surprised by his own power. Before, he could barely manage to put the ball in the goal from that distance; how could he have such speed and angle?

He waved to everyone, making a gesture of thanks for their support, and continued walking.

Casually glancing up, he saw a girl brush past him. Wow, she was stunning!

The girl wore a green beret, had long, curly brown hair flowing down her shoulders, a white fitted top, light blue jeans, and a small pinkish-purple backpack.

What a face she had! A refined and serene face, flawless skin, eyes that seemed to devour you with their pure innocence, slightly dimples, and lips that trembled with every gentle smirk.

Duan Tianya felt a surge of heat. This junior was too irresistible! If there weren't so many people on the playground, he'd be tempted to commit a crime right there!

Duan Tianya thought this girl was incredibly attractive; it was a blessing to have such a stunning beauty in his grade.

Bewitched, he followed the girl, wanting to see what was going on.

The girl went up to room 101 on the second floor of the old teaching building. Duan Tianya didn't quite understand what she was doing in the art studio!

The studio was packed with people, arranged in a circle around the empty seat where the model was sitting.

The girl saw Zhang Chaoyi, the bald art teacher, and walked up to him with a bright smile: "Teacher Zhang, I'm a little late. I hope you've all been waiting impatiently!"

A flicker of barely suppressed fire suddenly appeared in Zhang Chaoyi's dull eyes. "Yu Qingzhu, we've finally been waiting for you! We all thought you weren't coming!"

Yu Qingzhu walked gracefully to the model's seat: "Sorry to keep you all waiting. I'm Yu Qingzhu from the Art Academy. Today, my middle school teacher, Teacher Zhang, invited me to be your model. I hope you all enjoy painting and create masterpieces. I'll give the best painting of the day to me as a gift for my eighteenth birthday." "Birthday present! I'll be eighteen tomorrow, so you can't disappoint me! Years later, when I see this painting, the most beautiful work of my life, I'll feel so happy. Please be gentle, everyone! My youth is in your hands!"

Her words immediately bridged the gap between everyone. Duan Tianya, leaning against the door, also felt that this girl's charm was indeed fatal! He was unconsciously attracted to her!

The art studio erupted in chaos.

Zheng Erpang waved an 8B pencil and shouted, "Beautiful lady, you're so beautiful, I don't even know how to start drawing! Are you using your painting to find a husband? Do I, Zheng Erpang, have a chance too?" Li Chao, who

was painting a fox, threw his drawing board at the fat man, "You fatso, don't you even look in the mirror? You think you can eat swan meat like a toad? Even if Miss Yu agrees, I'll pick you up and throw you downstairs. Don't get any crooked ideas, go back to your Gao Laozhuang!" Yu

Qingzhu ignored all of this, simply sitting there quietly with a faint smile, gazing absently at the enchanting peach blossoms blooming outside the window.

Duan Tianya felt a strange impulse welling up inside him. Could this girl be destined for him?

Looking at her naturally beautiful face, he felt a strong urge to create. He walked over to his classmate Zhuo Yiheng, "Brother, can I borrow your drawing board?"

Zhuo Yiheng was excited to see his class monitor wanting to draw a beautiful woman. "Hey, class monitor, you've got some worldly desires! You can use the drawing board, no problem, but you have to promise me you'll tame this girl who's practically floating on air, or I'll never forgive you!"

Duan Tianya smiled faintly, snatching the drawing board away. "Go find your drawing board. What are you babbling about?" Duan

Tianya was sitting directly opposite Yu Qingzhu. Perhaps she was too tired from admiring the peach blossoms, because her gaze shifted and she saw a handsome, silent man carefully scrutinizing her. Having modeled many times, she sensed that his gaze wasn't simply that he was using her as a reference point; his warm, deep eyes held a hint of appreciation and amusement, and perhaps even a touch of malice. She met his gaze for a moment, then quickly looked away.

This first encounter stirred a feeling in Duan Tianya; this breathtakingly beautiful girl had captivated her. After a moment's thought, she began to capture the near-perfect girl's face with her brush.

Time flies, and three hours passed in the blink of an eye. Duan Tianya's painting was almost finished. He felt particularly inspired today, as if the painting wasn't his own work, but rather a divine energy flowing through him, compelling his hand to create. The entire sketching process was filled with intense impulse and pleasure. From composition to outline, to shaping, adding color, and detailing, it was almost a seamless process, each step completed in one go. He barely touched the clay, as if the work had been created effortlessly.

Finally, everyone laid out their sketches in a row at the front of the studio.

Yu Qingzhu stretched her neck, stood up, and walked to the finished works, admiring each one, nodding repeatedly. In no time, she had looked at dozens of paintings.

Teacher Zhang walked up to her and asked, "How are their paintings? Are there any you like?"

Yu Qingzhu smiled calmly, "They're all quite good!" My eyes are blurry; I don't know which painting to choose. Teacher Zhang, you're a professional teacher, can you help me choose one? "

Teacher Zhang: 'Go with your gut feeling. Feeling is the most accurate way to appreciate art.' Zhang Chaoyi's gaze suddenly fell on Duan Tianya.

Duan Tianya was holding his easel, seemingly lost in thought.

'Duan Tianya, bring your painting up too!'

Duan Tianya stared blankly at the beautiful woman in the painting, only snapping out of his reverie when he heard Teacher Zhang's call. He picked up his large easel and placed it in front of everyone else's paintings.

Wow! A chorus of exclamations rang out in the studio. 'A divine painting! Absolutely amazing! Unbeatable!' one voice shouted, as if Muna Nisa had been reincarnated, as if Van Gogh had possessed him!

Teacher Zhang was also drawn to the painting, his eyes shining. 'It's truly excellent, truly excellent. I haven't seen such a lifelike sketch in a long time.' Pointing to the painting, he said to the students who had gathered around, 'In terms of composition, spatial distance, sense of quality, artistic conception, and brushwork, this painting is a masterpiece. I personally believe that this work perfectly expresses the external and internal aspects of Yu Qingzhu. What do you think?'

Everyone started discussing it again. "

Hearing Teacher Zhang and her classmates praise the painting so highly, Yu Qingzhu couldn't help but walk closer to examine it more closely.

She couldn't judge the painting's merits or demerits with a professional eye, but she felt that once you paid attention to it, you would be undeniably drawn to it, even inexplicably wanting to understand the painting and the person in it more. The painting was on a standard A4 sheet of paper, depicting two-thirds of her profile, accurately and movingly interpreting her flamboyant and passionate inner self and her reserved and understated exterior. Her flowing hair, delicate eyebrows, exquisite nose, and curved lips appeared elegant and outstanding under the artist's brush. What kind of eyes were those? Bright enough to light a lamp, solitary yet flamboyant, understated yet possessing a boundless passion.

Yu Qingzhu nearly fainted. The painting was incredible. The artist not only perfectly replicated her appearance like a camera, but even more astonishingly, he seemed to see right through her. She was completely naked before him. He had deciphered her soul through her eyes in the painting, revealing emotions she herself barely understood. Yet, someone who had only met her once and knew nothing about her had achieved this. She felt a chill of despair.

Her gaze involuntarily turned to the creator of the painting, Duan Tianya.

Duan Tianya looked utterly innocent under her gaze, like a monkey in a zoo.

Yu Qingzhu walked up to him, staring intently into his eyes: "Can you give me this painting as a birthday present?"

"Sure, it's just a painting! But I have one condition."

Yu Qingzhu took off the beret and played with it in her hands. "You mean if I don't agree to your conditions, you won't give me this painting, right?"

"You can say that, or you can say that!"

"Fine! I agree!"

Duan Tianya kneaded the eraser in his hand. "Miss, you're so straightforward! You didn't even ask what conditions I wanted you to agree to before you agreed! If I had proposed conditions you couldn't meet, or conditions you didn't want to meet, wouldn't you regret your haste?"

Yu Qingzhu smoothed her bangs. "In my vocabulary, there's no such thing as regret. I agreed, and I won't regret it!"

"Speak, what do you want me to do?"

Duan Tianya swallowed hard. This girl has a strong personality, but with so many people around, how could he say it? He stood up and leaned close to her ear. "There are too many people here. I'll go out first. If you want to hear it, follow me." He then strode out of the studio,

leaving a stunned Yu Qingzhu speechless .

However, she didn't hesitate. She slung her small bag over her shoulder, picked up her easel, and followed him out.

Duan Tianya, a cigarette dangling from his lips, sat on a stone stepping stone on the overpass waiting for her. Yu Qingzhu was truly baffled by this man. "What condition did you want me to agree to?"

Seeing that Duan Tianya didn't answer but just looked at her teasingly, she blushed. "You're not allowed to make any unreasonable demands!"

Duan Tianya shrugged. "Although I'm lustful, I'm not a wolf. I would never do anything against someone's will. I only have one request. Of course, you can refuse, but since I've given you the painting, even if you don't agree, I won't ask you for it back. Do you understand?"

Hearing him say that, Yu Qingzhu became even more curious about what he wanted. "Tell me quickly?"

Duan Tianya licked his lips: "In short, I-want-to-paint-a-one-human-body-sketch of-you.

" Yu Qingzhu thought she had misheard. "Say it again."

Duan Tianya exhaled a smoke ring, then exhaled another smoke ring that passed through the previous one, a mischievous grin on his face: "A human figure sketch."

"I told you you could disagree. I appreciate all things beautiful to the extreme, including the human body. Your appearance is captivating, and I'm very interested in your inner qualities. I think that's perfectly normal. It's understandable that you disagree. If it were me, you probably wouldn't agree either, and might even call the person who expressed such thoughts crazy. So, I said something crazy, and you refused. I'll pretend I said nothing. Here's the painting. Happy birthday! May you stay young and beautiful forever. Goodbye!" "

Having said that, she stubbed out her cigarette, jumped off the stone block, turned around, and strode away.

It was as if nothing had happened.

She left behind a bewildered Yu Qingzhu and her long hair fluttering in the wind.

Duan Tianya was watering his spider plant with a watering can, his expression serene. He was thinking about the vibrant green life before him, perhaps he himself was like that spider plant, currently in the prime of his life. If he didn't enjoy it, he would wither and die with the passage of time—this was human destiny. From birth to death, few people truly consider the essence of life. A female poet from the Tang Dynasty wrote: 'Pluck the flower while it blooms, for lest you break a bare branch when there are no flowers left.'" "A person's life seems long, but it is actually very short. After several springs and autumns, after the changing seasons, a person goes from being full of vigor to being frail and old. When death comes, a person is like an autumn leaf falling into the mud, and everything ends there.

" Duan Tianya laughed. He found himself for a moment resembling a woman moved by the scenery, but this thought vanished in an instant. He began to lift the barbell idly. "Damn it, all the guys in the dorm go out on Saturdays. They all either do serious things or chase girls, while I'm just doing nothing." "

Ring ring, the phone rang.

Duan Tianya was too lazy to answer; the phone almost never rang for him. He had no family, and since no one was in the dorm anyway,

he figured he might as well not answer. The phone seemed determined to ring; the more he ignored it, the more it rang. He lifted ten barbells, but it still rang. Duan Tianya was about to smash the phone. What was that guy, Er, thinking, inventing such a noisy thing? It never seemed to end.

"Hello! Who is it?" A familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar voice came through the phone. "Is Duan Tianya there?"

Duan Tianya was thrilled!

"Teacher, is that you? Did I hear that right?"

"Hehe! You heard right, it's me? How have you been lately?"

Duan Tianya exclaimed excitedly, "Is it really you? I'm so bored in my dorm, just watering the plants and lifting weights. How are you?"

"I'm fine."

There was a brief silence on the other end.

Zhang Meiran asked with deep emotion, "Tell me honestly, what have you been thinking about lately besides studying?"

Duan Tianya replied playfully, "Besides you!"

Zhang Meiran trembled slightly, taken aback, "What?"

I mean, what I've been thinking about is: "Besides you, it's still you!"

Zhang Meiran smiled, a sweet smile, "How did I end up with such a bad student? You've learned to banter with your teacher after just a few days!"

Duan Tianya felt a surge of heat throughout his body; "Teacher, I really miss you. Whenever I see something that's even remotely related to you, I can't help but think of you." Actually, Duan Tianya had just been quite interested in the Jade Green Bamboo.

Zhang Meiran lowered her voice, "Tianya, me too. You're coming to Beijing."

"Okay, wait for me!"

"I'll wait for you, as long as you come! Take good care of yourself. You've given me a renewed sense of purpose. Think less of me, work harder, and we'll meet again.

" "Okay! Definitely!

" "Yes!

" "Goodbye!

" "Okay."

Duan Tianya heard the dial tone on the other end and hung up the phone after a long while. He couldn't sort out his thoughts, and he didn't know where this emotion was headed.

Ring ring, ring ring, the phone rang again.

"Hello? Is this Duan Tianya's dormitory?" A soft, clear voice cleansed Duan Tianya's ears.

Duan Tianya rarely heard such a pleasant voice, and the fact that it was looking for him piqued his interest.

"What do you need from Duan Tianya?"

"Please, I'm looking for Duan Tianya. Could you answer this for me? I'd be very grateful!"

"As for what it is, how can I tell you if you're not him!" What

if I said I am Duan Tianya?

"Heh! You actually tricked me! I asked you a long time ago, why didn't you tell me?" A sweet laugh came from the other end.

"Hehe, you didn't ask if I was Duan Tianya. I'm not a prophet. What do you need me for? Who are you?

" "Please, you're so unfair! You only saw me for a day and you've already forgotten me completely. You're something else. I'm inviting you to my birthday party."

Duan Tianya remembered who it was. "I want to come! Being invited by a beauty like you is such a wonderful thing, but I'm just a country bumpkin, I can't stand up to anyone. Aren't you afraid I'll embarrass you?"

"I'm happy to, I'm glad. It's settled then, from now on you can't go anywhere. Just wait for me to pick you up in my car at six o'clock sharp, at the school gate. If you dare to stand me up, I'll skin you alive."

Duan Tianya laughed so hard. He didn't expect this seemingly quiet girl to be so wild at heart. Quite something!

"Come on, I'm not afraid you'll eat me up!" "

Okay, just wait," he said, hanging up the phone.

Duan Tianya suddenly laughed, a very happy laugh, and started getting dressed.

At six o'clock sharp, at the school gate, Duan Tianya finished his repairs and waited for his car on time.

Right on time, less than three minutes later, Yu Qingzhu's Audi A6 pulled up beside him. Her

beautiful face peeking out from the window made Duan Tianya feel quite pleased. The visual impact of a luxury car and a beautiful woman was still quite strong.

Yu Qingzhu drove with one hand and turned on the stereo with the other, the mournful and expansive voice of Wong Ka Kui surrounding them.

"Why do you like listening to his songs?"

"What?" Yu Qingzhu turned her beautiful eyes and smiled sweetly. "You don't like his songs?"

"Uh, no, I really love his songs! For many years!"

"Hehe! Really! What a coincidence, I have every single Byod song. I'll play them for you one by one when I have time. Let you enjoy them!" "

Good idea. I'm curious about something, and I'd like to ask, but you don't have to answer.

" "What? Tell me first?"

Duan Tianya smiled. "There's a saying, 'Beautiful women are often promiscuous.' Girls with outstanding looks usually have quite a few romantic affairs. You're quite adept at that, aren't you?"

"Hehe! I wouldn't call myself adept, but I do have a few boyfriends. You'll meet them. Maybe tonight!"

Duan Tianya wasn't surprised. It would be strange if a girl like that didn't have boyfriends! But even so, he still felt a little sour. Men are just like that. Maybe it's related to the long duration of feudal society. Which emperor didn't want to play with all the beauties in the world? Which wealthy man didn't have ten wives and eight concubines?

"Duan Tianya sighed!"

Yu Qingzhu smiled sweetly, revealing two shallow dimples: "You're acting like an old man. What's with the sigh?"

"I'm laughing at my bad luck in being born in the wrong place. If I were your neighbor, I would definitely make sure all my competitors have no chance."

"Not really! You have a chance now! I'll give you a chance, you're a top contender now."

Duan Tianya suddenly found this girl very attractive. "Look over here?"

"What?" Yu Qingzhu turned her head to look, and Duan Tianya kissed her lips deeply before she was even prepared.

"What are you doing?" Yu Qingzhu was caught off guard, her fair face instantly turning pink. "What are you doing? Why are you like this!" Duan

Tianya was like a dead pig unafraid of boiling water. "If I told you, would you obey? I'm a bit scary!"

Yu Qingzhu smoothed her hair. "You're a fucking wolf, but you've met your match in me, the hunter."

Duan Tianya grinned foolishly. "I hope you can set a beautiful trap, otherwise you won't be able to catch this cunning wolf."

"Wolf, you also like Qi Qin's songs?" "

Of course, Qi Qin is my favorite. To be honest, I love his wolf-like, piercing howl; he's practically a living wolf."

"Damn! Our tastes are really similar!"

"Good! Otherwise, how could we have common ground?"

The car stopped in front of a red villa on Airport Road. Duan Tianya got out and saw a beautiful woman approaching. He didn't know what to do, so he just smiled and watched the beauty walk towards him.

"Sister, who's this? So handsome!"

Yu Qingzhu got out of the car. "Hanyan, I'll introduce you to a boyfriend. Do you want him?"

Hanyan glanced at Duan Tianya. "You mean him? Not bad, I like him. Take him!"

Yu Qingzhu pouted. "You wish! This is your future brother-in-law. Don't get any ideas.

" Hanyan misunderstood and was embarrassed. "Sister, you're fooling me again. Who is this person you're introducing me to?"

Chapter Four: Making Love by Lamplight

"How's Xu Chong? What do you think of him?"

Hanyan rolled her eyes at her sister. "You mean that hoodlum? He's not bad! He's a decent fighter, but a man can't just be a street urchin. He needs to be able to give people a sense of security. Like this guy, he's pretty good." She then walked up and took Duan Tianya's arm, leaning against his chest.

Duan Tianya liked the girl's straightforwardness. He reached out and put his arm around her waist, whispering in her soft earlobe, "I like your cheerfulness and your wildness!" His soft tongue lightly kissed Hanyan's earlobe as he spoke.

Even so, Hanyan was startled and immediately fled from Duan Tianya's embrace, blushing and pointing at him. "You, you, I was just kidding! How could you, how could you be serious? Sister, help me teach him a lesson! How could he do this? Daring to flirt with your little sister right in front of you! You should teach this lecherous guy a lesson! Otherwise, he'll end up with a bunch of mistresses and concubines!"

"Tch! To deal with a good little sister like you, you really need someone like your brother-in-law. Besides, you're not exactly a pushover. You're only in your third year of junior high, and I heard you've hooked up with a whole class of boys. I heard you freeload off them, but they haven't even laid a finger on you. So, you have to be treated like he was just now. I'm warning you, if you dare mess with him without my permission, I'll make him eat you up, and see if you still think you're so great. Duan Tianya, did you hear me?"

Duan Tianya was secretly overjoyed. Of course I'd love to, I couldn't wait for her to mess with me. I promise I'll carry out your orders decisively. But he didn't say it aloud. He just looked at the beautiful Han Yan and smiled, a flirtatious smile that made Han Yan feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

"Sister, I'm so glad you said that. You said that as long as you agree, I can... Are you saying we should follow the example of Ehuang and Nüying and share one husband? No doubt about it, I absolutely agree."

Yu Qingzhu looked at Yu Han Yan in bewilderment. "What did I say? Did I say that?"

"Sister, you've forgotten what you said. Hanyan heard it with her own ears, and you heard it too, brother-in-law, right?"

Duan Tianya didn't dare to answer casually at this moment, he just smiled.

Seeing that Duan Tianya didn't speak up, Hanyan said with certainty, "Sister, from childhood to adulthood, you've always told me that if I don't agree, this or that will happen, and you said the same thing this time!"

Yu Qingzhu suddenly realized that she used to like talking to her like that, but had she said something wrong this time?

Just as he was lost in thought, a sharp, woman-like voice shouted, "Sister Yu, our boss and his brothers are here to celebrate your birthday!"

Duan Tianya turned around at the sound and, wow, quite a scene!

Duan Tianya saw the Red Star Gang in front of him: two or three hundred thugs had Yu Qingzhu's villa completely surrounded. What was even more arrogant was that each of these guys was wielding a long knife, about a meter long. The guy in the black hat and black trench coat waved his hand, and the thugs shouted at the top of their lungs: "Happy 18th birthday, Miss Yu! May Miss Yu stay young forever, beautiful for a hundred years, and have many more birthdays like this!"

One person shouting like that would be fine, but two or three hundred people shouting together was no small feat; it was enough to shake the earth. Duan Tianya felt the ground shaking!

Han Yan walked to the gang leader's side and said, "Xu Chong, you're so cool today. Even Xu Wenqiang has to let you go first. What's wrong?" "You brothers can just make a racket to celebrate my sister's birthday, but let's get down to business!"

Yu Qingzhu stepped forward, smiling. "Brother Chong! Are you here to celebrate my birthday or to shorten my lifespan? With all this commotion, if someone calls 110, the police will think you're having an illegal assembly in my house! They'll send us all to the station later. Do you want me to spend my eighteenth birthday behind bars?"

Xu Chong, with a scar over ten centimeters long on his right cheek, glared at a skinny, scrawny guy dressed in bright colors with spiky red hair. "It's all your fault, you good-for-nothing, what kind of stupid idea is this? Hurry up and bring the stuff up, and take the brothers and get as far away as you can!" The skinny guy

didn't dare say anything more, and with a wave of his hand, he called out in a sarcastic tone, "Bring it up!"

Several burly thugs laboriously carried up a massive, stacked cake, about 1.78 meters in diameter and 1.78 meters high, resembling a seventeen or eighteen-story building.

The skinny guy gestured to Yu Qingzhu, saying, "Miss, our boss has really gone to great lengths for you! This cake was made by the ten best pastry chefs in the city working for three days and three nights straight. I don't need to say anything more, I just hope you'll become our sister-in-law soon." With a wave of his hand, he said, "Carry it inside properly, the rest of you follow me!"

The thugs retreated like a tide, following the skinny guy.

In an instant, only Duan Tianya, Yu Qingzhu, Yu Hanyan, Xu Chong, and his two closest henchmen remained at the door.

The summer sun sets late, but now it had set, darkness fell, and unnoticed, the lights in Yu Qingzhu's villa were already on!

Yu Qingzhu sighed helplessly, "Alright, since you're here, come in!"

Duan Tianya said nothing, but it was probably better for him to say nothing!

The living room of Yu Qingzhu's house was luxuriously furnished, with exquisite chandeliers, various landscape paintings and oil paintings hanging around the walls, and red carpets covering the floor. In the center was a long white table, already laden with various delicacies. Duan Tianya stared blankly at a large roasted whole pig on a platter and a huge Chinese soft-shelled turtle lying on its back. Not bad! These kinds of things he had only heard of before were all on the table! He was in for a treat!

Yu Qingzhu raised her voice, "Today is my eighteenth birthday, and I'm very happy that everyone has come to celebrate. Now, let's have a simple meal!"

Yu Qingzhu then helped everyone to their seats. The table was long and narrow, with Yu Qingzhu sitting at the head of the table, Yu Hanyan and Duan Tianya on one side, and Xu Chong sitting opposite Duan Tianya, with two subordinates standing behind them.

Yu Qingzhu waved her hand, "Brother Xu, let them sit too. This looks a bit like a gangster negotiation!"

Seeing Yu Qingzhu say this, Xu Chong gave the two men a look, and they quickly sat down.

Just as Yu Qingzhu was about to speak again, three people flashed in through the door.

The leader called out from afar, "Qingzhu! You can't miss my birthday party today!"

Duan Tianya had a sudden thought without thinking: this Yu Qingzhu is really something else! Such a small thing as a birthday party, yet she's making such a fuss. And who is this person?

Looking closely, the newcomer was about the same age as him, seventeen or eighteen, looking like a student, wearing glasses, fair-skinned, and dressed in a gray suit. However, one look at this person's eyes revealed extreme arrogance. Although his tone wasn't loud, his manner was extremely arrogant! The two people following behind were handsome, with alert eyes, extremely strong, and dressed in plain clothes. They were obviously trained fighters, bodyguards!

Yu Qingzhu stood up but didn't go to greet them. She smiled from afar, "Jia Chao is here too, please sit down!"

Jia Chao walked directly to Yu Qingzhu, smiling as he looked at her, "Take it out!"

One of the men behind her took out an exquisite yellow box.

Yu Qingzhu asked casually, "I'm already happy you came, why did you bring a gift?"

Jia Chao opened the box. "Qingzhu, this is a ginseng that I obtained from the Tianshan Mountains. It's only been underground for two days, and it's said to be three thousand years old."

Although Yu Qingzhu didn't care, she was quite pleased to hear that he had traveled all the way to Tibet for a ginseng. "Why did you go to so much trouble? I appreciate it."

Seeing Yu Qingzhu's approval, Jia Chao became even more boastful. "You don't know, the land where this ginseng grows is under the direct jurisdiction of the current Living Buddha in Tibet. It was originally intended to be offered as a treasure of Tibetan Buddhism. I begged my father to call his old comrade-in-arms, the current Secretary of the Tibet Autonomous Region, and ask him to help me get this ginseng. The Secretary personally went to ask the Living Buddha for help, and that's how it was secured."

Yu Hanyan jumped up from her seat. "Are you kidding me? This is so exaggerated. Do you think the secretary of the Tibet Autonomous Region is an idiot who will do whatever your dad tells him to do just because he makes a phone call?

" Jia Chao proudly shouted, "Hanyan, you don't know, my dad still has a bullet in his back that can't be removed. It's from when he took a bullet for that secretary on the Korean battlefield."

Han Yan pursed her lips, "I'll take your word for it. What treasure is it? Let me see." She snatched the yellow box. The

box opened, and Duan Tianya saw it too. It was indeed a treasure: a thousand-year-old ginseng, entirely yellow and red, over a foot long, shaped like a newborn baby, but with a fully grown human face, delicate features, and lifelike features. If it weren't for its closed eyes, anyone would have thought it was a sleeping infant!

Han Yan gasped, losing her grip, and the box fell to the ground. Luckily, Duan Tianya was close enough to catch it.

Jia Chao rushed over, grabbing the ginseng box, muttering, "It's not broken, is it? This is priceless!"

Duan Tianya asked Han Yan with concern, "Are you alright? Were you frightened?"

Han Yan, still shaken, replied, "Yes, that ginseng was just like a child, it was terrifying!"

Jia Chao carefully handed the ginseng box to Yu Qingzhu, "You must take good care of it!" Yu Qingzhu reached out and brushed the box. "

No matter how important the ginseng is, is it more important than my sister? If you like it, keep it for yourself!"

She then walked to Hanyan's side, took her hand, and asked worriedly, "Are you alright?"

Hanyan looked at Duan Tianya gratefully. "Sister, I'm fine. I really owe him a lot. Otherwise, if I had broken Young Master Jia's ginseng, I would have been in deep trouble." Actually, she was even more grateful for Duan Tianya's immediate concern and concern. That look, those words, had shaken her heart instantly, leaving her deeply moved.

Jia Chao felt extremely embarrassed and vented all his anger on Duan Tianya. "Pointing at Duan Tianya's eyes, who are you to Qingzhu's family? A relative?"

Duan Tianya gently brushed his hand away and smiled, saying, "Does it matter? I have no special relationship with them, and I'm certainly not a relative!"

Jia Chao's small eyes behind his glasses widened instantly, and he roared fiercely, "Kid, have you eaten a leopard's gall or a hero's guts to dare show off in front of me, Jia Chao? You'd better kowtow three times right here, or you won't be leaving this room alive today!" Duan

Tianya was a little surprised. Although he didn't know the background of this arrogant guy, judging from his crazy style, he must have a powerful backer. However, he had been driven to the edge by him, and if he didn't teach him a lesson, he wouldn't know where the saying "there are always people stronger than you" came from.

Duan Tianya chuckled, his gaze suddenly sharpening as he approached Jia Chao's eyes, which were only an inch apart. He said softly, "Hey, Jia, how about we make a bet?"

Jia Chao glared with his small eyes, not backing down. What would they bet on?

Duan Tianya: "We'll bet on Jade Green Bamboo!"

Upon hearing the words "Jade Green Bamboo," Jia Chao's face flushed with excitement. "How do we bet?" "

It's simple. You or your two bodyguards fight me. If I lose, I'll get out of here immediately and never bother Yu Qingzhu again. Of course, if you lose, you'll disappear from my sight forever!"

Jia Chao suddenly laughed. His laugh was chilling: "Kid, I admire you a little. In all my years, no one has ever dared to talk to me like that. Even my father, the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, didn't dare. You dare? I admire you. But you'll pay a heavy price for your words. However, I won't let you lose an arm or a leg. That would mean we've won, and Qingzhu would blame me for being too cruel."

Duan Tianya easily looked away from Jia Chao's eyes, a smile on his face.

But Jia Chao also smiled, and it was sinister. He stared into Duan Tianya's eyes for a few seconds, then reached out and patted Duan Tianya's shoulder: "Brother, take care." "I forgot to mention, my two bodyguards, despite their less-than-stellar looks, will absolutely not disappoint in terms of skill. One is named Zheng Liang, the other Ma Feilong. The former was the runner-up in the previous National Wushu Sanda Championship, and the latter is the third-place winner. They should be able to serve you very well."

With that, he took two steps back and roared, "Zheng Liang, attack!"

Zheng Liang was a killing machine. He was an instructor in the Chinese SHD Special Forces. Second place in the National Wushu Sanda Championship was just a small achievement for him. He had fought twelve armed murderers hand-to-hand, taking them all down in a minute and a half, and none of them got up for thirty minutes.

His SHD Special Forces unit's normal mission was to protect leaders at the vice-provincial level and above, as well as their immediate family members. In extreme circumstances, they could eliminate the enemy by any means, including firearms.

Therefore, when Jia Chao ordered him to act, he wouldn't hesitate. Yu, because he was the son of the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee.

Duan Tianya knew nothing of this; he only knew he had to finish his opponent off in one strike. He needed to conserve his energy, because he saw Xu Chong's eyes, sitting opposite him, beginning to show signs of restlessness.

Zheng Liang used a grappling technique, but his thumb and forefinger were aimed directly at Duan Tianya's throat. It was a very intimidating style of fighting.

However, Duan Tianya was clearly more ruthless. He swung his right palm in the air, making a semi-circle, and with a leap of his legs, he lightly jumped 80 or 90 centimeters off the ground. Gathering all his strength, he brought his palm down fiercely on Zheng Liang's head from mid-air.

Zheng Liang was a veteran of countless battles, but he had never seen anything like this before. He was still attacking, but instinctively tilted his head slightly, continuing his attack straight for Duan Tianya's throat.

Duan Tianya's powerful palm struck Zheng Liang's right shoulder, and Zheng Liang's fingers gripped Duan Tianya's throat.

The room was quiet, so the sound of Zheng Liang's bones snapping was particularly jarring. The fingers gripping Duan Tianya's neck seemed to encounter a powerful force; fingers capable of snapping a neck couldn't break it no matter what.

Only when Duan Tianya struck out did he realize the force of his palm was like a tidal wave crashing down. So when he heard the sound of bones snapping, he hesitated, and his palm moved two or three centimeters to Zheng Liang's right shoulder. Duan

Tianya couldn't control his remaining strength. Yu Zhang slid his hand from Zheng Liang's shoulder onto the carpet, instantly scattering marble fragments and sparks.

Han Yan rushed over and saw that Duan Tianya had left a deep, fist-sized handprint on the marble beneath her carpet, with all five fingers clearly imprinted on it.

Han Yan forgot to scream; her mouth gaped wide open.

Zheng Liang fell, the burly man over six feet tall knocked down with a single blow. He was in great pain, clutching his shoulder with his left hand, sweating profusely, his heart aching even more!

Seeing his brother down, Ma Feilong couldn't hold back any longer and took a step forward to strike.

Jia Chao stopped him.

Ma Feilong was on the verge of tears, "My brother is injured!"

Jia Chao, his back to Duan Tianya, asked, "Your instructor isn't good enough, are you?"

Ma Feilong stammered, "But, but!" "

Duan Tianya thought this guy was quite sensible.

But what happened next was completely unexpected.

Jia Chao pulled something out of his waist. At the same time, he turned to Duan Tianya.

Duan Tianya saw a dark gun muzzle, only ten centimeters from his head.

Everyone in the room was stunned.

Han Yan shouted, 'Jia Chao, are you crazy? Can't you talk things out? Put the gun away! Murder is punishable by death!'"

Jia Chao's small eyes crinkled into a sneer as he roared, "Kid, you've got guts! You crippled Zheng Liang, the second-best fighter in the country, with a single palm strike. I admire you, but you're fast? Can you outrun a gun? If you've got the guts, make your move! I don't believe your hands are faster than a bullet. Kneel down and kowtow three times, and maybe I'll let you leave crippled!"

Duan Tianya laughed, a mocking laugh, a look of utter contempt. Suddenly, he turned to Yu Qingzhu and called out affectionately, "Qingzhu!"

Jia Chao might not have turned around if he heard another voice, but Duan Tianya was calling out the name of his dream girl, the one who had haunted his dreams since he was old enough to understand love. He turned his head.

For Duan Tianya, that one glance was enough.

Duan Tianya's index finger and thumb gripped the trigger of the gun.

When Jia Chao came to his senses and tried to pull the trigger, he couldn't budge it an inch, even with all his might.

Looking at the terrified, bewildered Jia Chao…

A pang of sorrow gripped Duan Tianya's heart, and he abruptly pulled the trigger of his gun.

Jia Chao was terrified; he didn't know what Duan Tianya's next move would be.

Duan Tianya did nothing, but walked towards Zheng Liang, who lay on the ground in pain. Ma Feilong, thinking Duan Tianya was about to attack again, delivered a powerful, swift, and heavy kick to Duan Tianya's head!

Duan Tianya ignored him, simply reaching out to catch Zheng Liang's ankle, looking gently into Ma Feilong's eyes: "I'm sorry, I don't want more people to get hurt. I want to see his injuries."

Ma Feilong withdrew his leg, and Duan Tianya knelt beside Zheng Liang, gently asking, "May I see your injuries?"

Seeing Duan Tianya's gentle gaze and sincere tone, Zheng Liang nodded instinctively.

Duan Tianya touched Zheng Liang's right shoulder with both hands; his shoulder blade was dislocated. He felt the tendon in his shoulder blade, almost completely severed, with only a slight connection remaining.

It turned out his tendons were almost injured; otherwise, how could he be without the ability to counterattack given his foundation?

Duan Tianya placed his hands on Zheng Liang's Hui Tan tendons, silently circulating his internal energy. Instantly, a warm internal force flowed through his hands to Zheng Liang's Hui Tan tendons, repairing the damaged nerves.

No one in the room spoke, but Xu Chong, seeing Duan Tianya's formidable skill—even if he attacked, he wouldn't gain the upper hand—quietly led his men away.

After more than ten minutes, Duan Tianya felt that Zheng Liang's Hui Tan tendons were basically repaired. He pointed a finger at Zheng Liang's misaligned shoulder bone, and with a snap, it was set.

Duan Tianya looked at Zheng Liang, "Try moving."

Zheng Liang stood up and slowly stretched out his fingers, then his palm, then his entire arm. A look of ecstatic joy flashed across his face: "My severed tendons have healed! I thought my right hand was ruined! How did you do that?"

Han Yan exclaimed happily, "That's good! Let's stop fighting!"

Duan Tianya smiled silently.

Jia Chao put the box on the dining table, looked at Duan Tianya, and said fiercely, "Kid, you're ruthless. Let's go!"

The three walked out of the house. As they exited the door, Duan Tianya saw Zheng Liang turn back and look at him gratefully. Then the three disappeared into the darkness.

Only three people remained in the house. Yu Qingzhu threw herself into Duan Tianya's arms, tears streaming down her face. Her hands rested on Duan Tianya's back as she choked out, "I was terrified when you were being held at gunpoint. If something had happened to you, how could I face my conscience? I insisted you come!"

Duan Tianya gently stroked Yu Qingzhu's hair, comforting her, "It's nothing, I came of my own accord. Even if something happened to me, I wouldn't blame you." Hearing

this, Hanyan's eyes blurred, and she felt a strange jealousy, even though the man was embracing her sister.

But Hanyan held back and softly said to her sister, "Sister, I suddenly feel very tired, I'm going to rest! You two chat.

" Yu Qingzhu nodded, "Okay, I scared you too today!"

Hanyan closed the door with teary eyes and went upstairs. She wanted to stay with Duan Tianya a little longer, but she knew tonight wasn't the right time.

Duan Tianya released Yu Qingzhu and lit the giant cake, one, two... a total of eighteen candles.

In the candlelight, Yu Qingzhu's tears looked particularly glistening.

Duan Tianya smiled and pointed to the candles, "Jade Beauty, make a wish! Then blow out the candles!" Yu

Qingzhu closed her eyes, clasped her hands together, pressed them to her nose, and seemed to be murmuring something.

Suddenly, she opened her eyes. She looked at Duan Tianya strangely, her gaze focused, as if trying to see right through him.

After a long while, she said, "Didn't you want to paint my nude portrait? Now I agree!

" Duan Tianya, in the candlelight, looked at the excited Yu Qingzhu and shrugged. "Don't take it seriously. I won't force you to do something you don't want to do!"

Yu Qingzhu grasped Duan Tianya's hand, looking at him affectionately: "Can't I do it willingly?" Duan

Tianya grinned foolishly. Without the tools, he couldn't paint even if he wanted to!

Yu Qingzhu blew out eighteen candles in one breath. She grabbed Duan Tianya's hand and ran.

Duan Tianya didn't know what she was going to do, but how could he refuse?
Yu Qingzhu pulled him into a room and closed the door. Duan Tianya carefully looked around the room. There was a table against the wall with a 30-centimeter-long blue and white patterned ceramic piece on it. There were also two plates of fruit on the table. Two fist-sized tall candles stood on the two legs of the table. The walls were decorated with watercolor and oil paintings of the human figure.

Yu Qingzhu suddenly looked into Duan Tianya's eyes. "This is my father's studio."

The red carpet on the floor and the brightly lit candles decorated the whole room with warmth and romance. Yu Qingzhu suddenly brushed his eyes with one hand, and a few lyrical words seemed to jump into his ears: "Wait for me. Close your eyes first. You can't open them unless I tell you to, do you hear me?" Duan

Tianya didn't know what she wanted to do, but since she said so, he did as she said, closing his eyes under her gentle touch.

After a while, a rustling sound reached his ears, followed by a barely audible rustling sound of clothes being undressed. Duan Tianya felt his heart racing!

After a while, a shy voice came, "You can open your eyes now."

Duan Tianya almost suffocated; he saw a woman's body so clearly. Before him, Yu Qingzhu's soft hair cascaded down to her waist like a waterfall, her bright eyes shyly gazing into his. Her body was as white as jade, her breasts proudly erect, and her slender waist made Duan Tianya's index finger throb uncontrollably. Further down, Duan Tianya's blood suddenly rushed to his head. He lowered his head and saw a pair of crystal-clear bare feet on the red carpet.

Yu Qingzhu looked at Duan Tianya with adoration and asked tenderly, "Am I beautiful?"

Duan Tianya steadied his racing heart, then exclaimed, utterly bewildered, "You're not just pretty, you're the embodiment of perfection!" Yu

Qingzhu was overjoyed: "Am I really as beautiful as you say? Are you kidding me?"

Duan Tianya stood there dumbfounded: "My words cannot express your beauty. You are like a proud and exquisite night-blooming cereus blooming on a thousand-year-old icy peak."

Yu Qingzhu's face lit up with joy, "If I were a night-blooming cereus, I would bloom only for you, and wither only for you!"

Duan Tianya's heart trembled violently. After a long while, he said tremulously, "Qingzhu, what's so good about me? You don't deserve to be so good to me!"

Yu Qingzhu walked towards Duan Tianya, stopped in front of him, and looked into his eyes with a stubborn and provocative gaze. Then, she touched his nose with her own and breathed heavily, saying, "I see into your heart, do you believe me?"

Duan Tianya trembled, looking at her sadly, "What am I thinking?"

Yu Qingzhu took Duan Tianya's slightly sweaty left hand and placed it on her breasts, gently caressing them. She closed her eyes and said vaguely, "Take me!"

Duan Tianya smiled! Looking at the flowing calligraphy on the wall, he saw the words, "A red blossom, fragrant with dew, the clouds and rain of Wushan are in vain, breaking the heart."

He picked up Yu Qingzhu, gently kissing her sweet, warm lips. Looking around and finding nothing to lean on, he gently placed her on the red carpet. Yu Qingzhu stared at his eyes with longing. Duan Tianya went mad, and his actions became intense. His soft tongue moved from her hair to her forehead, eyebrows, earlobes, slender neck, breasts, smooth belly, fair thighs, and finally to her bare ankles. His hands gradually increased the pressure of their caresses.

Under such onslaught, Yu Qingzhu could only moan softly. Her breaths, like demonic chants, transformed Duan Tianya's softest desire into the most powerful. Yu Qingzhu's hands thrashed and tore at his body.

Duan Tianya tasted the sweetness of her lips, using one hand to restrain her hands and the other to begin removing his own barriers.

Yu Qingzhu vaguely opened her eyes and saw an incredibly strong body pressing down on her soft one. Overwhelmed with excitement, a surge of desire seemed ready to burst forth at any moment. Her spring was hopelessly and completely overflowing. Yu Qingzhu happily wrapped her arms around Duan Tianya's neck and whispered in his ear a moan that only a mosquito could hear: "Be gentle, it's my first time, don't hurt me."

Duan Tianya nodded, trembling as he gently parted her legs, lifted and adjusted his massive member, exploring the entrance to her peach blossom cave. Her love juices were already incredibly abundant. He used one hand to support it, guiding it gently into her soft opening.

Just as he entered a little, Yu Qingzhu suddenly gripped Duan Tianya's back tightly with all ten fingers. Duan Tianya felt a piercing pain, almost forcing his hard member into that alluring, narrow crevice. But despite the pain, he endured it, sweating profusely. Seeing Qingzhu's pained expression, he felt a pang of sympathy and began to slow his pace, continuing to caress her smooth body.

With his efforts, her love juices flowed even more abundantly, and the pain from before vanished. She tightly embraced his hips. Duan Tianya's intense anticipation, aroused by his restraint, intensified. He thought that for a virgin, contractions were unavoidable, and he couldn't afford to be so hesitant.

Thinking this, he firmly placed the item outside its proper place, took a deep breath, and prepared everything. He whispered in Yu Qingzhu's ear, "Ready, it'll be ready soon!"

Yu Qingzhu, unsure of his meaning, obediently nodded.

Duan Tianya thrust forward, his massive member breaking through the barrier of her lips and plunging into the top of her tender embrace. With a tearing cry, Yu Qingzhu's fingers almost dug into Duan Tianya's skin. A few tears slid down her cheeks onto the red carpet.

Duan Tianya kissed away the salty tears and began to gently move in and out.

Yu Qingzhu's beautiful face gradually shifted from pain to relief, becoming more aroused, her moans growing louder and her voice more unrestrained, until Yu Hanyan, who was peeking from outside, broke out in a sweat, her legs rubbing together uncontrollably, her lower body already throbbing with excitement.
