“Shhh. This is our secret.” (3)
Shi An noted thoughtfully, “But that Shi Rui is quite interesting.”
Insect: “Bah!”
It was full of righteous indignation, ranting, “I think he is a bad person! He’s definitely manipulating things behind your back and hoping that you fail. I had a bad feeling about him the first time I saw him!”
Just after speaking, the insect regretted what he said, and urged, “Sir, don’t burn him on the spur of the moment! Unlike Duan Hua, this person is your brother in name. Mu Heng is watching us closely, so if Shi Rui dies, it will be very difficult for you to escape notice!”
Shi An sighed, “Okay.”
Insect: …
Were you really prepared to brand your “brother” just now?
We live in a society ruled by law, my ass!
Shi An muttered, “He’d better pray that I won’t catch him again.”
The young man in front of him had a rare fierce look on his face, but his facial features were soft and childish, so he looked like he was throwing a tantrum like a spoiled child.
But only the insect knew that this little boy was serious.
If someone really annoyed him, that person wouldn’t even know how they died.
Thinking of Duan Hua’s tragic situation just now, it shivered in fear. This was the first time that the insect was glad it became a loyal underling so quickly.
After walking around the hospital building, Shi An returned to his room.
In the past two days, he had been transferred from the high-risk section to the observation area. Lin Yanming was his roommate yet again.
Lin Yanming put down the book in his hand and turned to look at Shi An. He asked, “Have you gotten enough sunshine?”
Shi An nodded guilelessly.
“Yup!”
Lin Yanming glanced at him suspiciously and looked at his watch.
He did go out for more than an hour.
Only then did he relax. He took out the game console from under the pillow and handed it back to Shi An. He worriedly warned, “Don’t play for too long, you’ll have to get up and do some stretches in half an hour.”
“Okay!” Shi An cheered.
He took the game console, jumped back onto his bed, and started gaming intently.
…Lin Yanming’s advice went in one ear and out the other.
Lin Yanming rubbed his temples, staving off a headache, and picked up the book again.
According to the notice, the results of this examination and the class divisions would be announced tomorrow.
After the announcement, classes would start.
They would have to study a lot.
Lin Yanming turned to look at Shi An, who was still playing games.
Although right now the only person who knew that Shi An was not a waste of space but rather a genius was Lin Yanming, he believed that——
After school started, Shi An would definitely become the strongest student in the entire grade and even the most dazzling new star in the entire academy!
Lin Yanming’s gaze towards Shi An relieved and kind, like an old mother watching her child getting ahead.
On the adjacent bed—
Shi An frowned at the characters on the screen and secretly asked the magic bug, “What does this mean?”
Insect: “…”
“It means that this thing can heal your HP.” It sighed and asked, “Sir, shouldn’t you start learning human writing?”
Shi An didn’t even lift his head and said, “Later, later.”
The insect looked at him sadly with eyes full of worry, like an old mother who watched an illiterate child who didn’t study and still played games every day.
What will you do after school starts?

Management Bureau
Mu Heng’s bloody windbreaker wrapped around him, and he hurried into the building.
His frosty brows were etched into a permanent scowl, like twin blades whose killing intent has not retreated.
Mu Heng lowered his long silver eyelashes, slowly took off his blood-stained gloves, and threw them into the trash can beside him.
Zhuo Fu leaned over and asked, “Done?”
Mu Heng glanced at him uncaringly, as if he had no intention of answering such an innocuous question.
Zhuo Fu was accustomed to Mu Heng’s attitude and continued, “So, there are no more high-level fluctuations in the city that require your leadership. Let others handle them.”
He placed a new task file on Mu Heng’s table.
“By the way, there are also a lot of top-level tasks that have been commissioned recently by the big families, and the rewards are generous. They have come to inquire every day if you are willing to accept them—been bothering Wen Yao to no end. When I came in, she told me to hand these to you.”
Mu Heng didn’t even think about it and muttered, “Give it to someone else.”
Zhuo Fu flipped through the to-do lists and couldn’t help clicking his tongue “Tsk tsk, you really treat money like dung. I’m so moved by these amounts, but you don’t even look at it?”
Mu Heng raised his eyes with ill intent and glanced over
“You have nothing else to do?”
Zhuo Fu quickly reclaimed the task files and said, “Okay, let’s get down to business.”
He asked sternly, “I heard that all the students in the hospital have woken up. Has that little friend of yours called you?”
Mu Heng froze in place.
After half a second of silence, he said, “…No.”
