Chapter 120: Jiang Classmate Wakes Up~
---
Jiang Tian:
[I want to research new dishes during the summer vacation, and I may need your help.]
Jiang Tian:
[But since Xue is planning special training during the summer vacation, will it be too late to bother you again?]
---
Unlike his previous life, the summer vacation in this world only lasts for one month.
Even top martial arts universities like Xingcheng Hongwu University start a few days earlier.
According to some online experiences, entering a martial arts university is like entering a whole new world.
In addition, Xue Ruyan mentioned that competition would be fierce.
Since she already had her own plans, it would be better not to delay her.
---
At that moment, a reply popped up.
---
Xue Ruyan:
[The original plan has been abandoned.]
---
Jiang Tian:
[Why was it abandoned?]
---
Xue Ruyan:
[I have to thank Classmate Jiang for helping me with special training for the martial arts college entrance exam. My strength has improved a lot.]
Xue Ruyan:
[With my current strength, the original plan is no longer suitable.]
Xue Ruyan:
[Besides, helping Classmate Jiang research dishes will actually help me improve even faster!]
---
Seeing Xue Ruyan agree, Jiang Tian smiled.
---
Jiang Tian:
[Okay, then how much your cooking skills improve this summer will depend on Xue.]
---
Xue Ruyan:
[Okay, okay.]

---
Jiang Tian put away his phone, still smiling.
As he raised his head, he noticed something peeking through the crack in the door.
---
His parents were sticking their heads out, staring at him.
The grins on their faces felt...
Suspicious.
---
Jiang Tian:
"What's wrong?"
---
Jiang Yuan:
"It's nothing. Although you're an adult now and about to enter college, you still need to be careful in some aspects."
Jiang Yuan coughed twice, trying to sound serious.
Liu Fang, standing beside him, nodded and added:
"We like this girl, Xue Ruyan, very much. You must not bully her."
---
Jiang Tian was speechless.
---
Jiang Tian:
"What are you talking about? Xue and I are just good classmates, good friends, and good comrades."
---
Hearing this, Jiang Yuan and Liu Fang exchanged glances—
Then burst into laughter.
The couple waved their hands dismissively, then turned and left.
---
As they walked away, Jiang Tian could still hear their teasing.
---
Jiang Yuan:
"Wife, did you hear what this kid said? 'Fortunately, my comrades are here~'"
---
Liu Fang:
"He's grown up, already getting shy."
---
Jiang Yuan:
"This silly boy was chatting on his phone, smiling like a fool, and now he's trying to cover it up."
---
Bang!
Liu Fang slapped Jiang Yuan's arm.
---
Liu Fang:
"What nonsense are you talking about? Who calls their son a fool?"
---
Jiang Tian shook his head helplessly.
After that, he sat cross-legged and entered a state of cultivation.
---
A Night of Training
"You should never stop practicing."
"This is the foundation of hunting and cooking your own food."
---
Unknowingly, Jiang Tian practiced until late at night.
Due to the Blood Abyss Furnace Technique, his strength increased rapidly—
But at the same time, it caused serious damage to his body.
Fortunately, his powerful recovery ability immediately repaired the damage.
---
As the night grew deeper, Jiang Tian finally lay down to rest.
The best way to recover mental exhaustion was a deep sleep.
---
A Strange Dream
Jiang Tian rarely dreamed—
But this time, he did.
---
In his dream, he saw Xue Ruyan.
She was wearing an apron, carrying a crying baby on her back—
Walking towards him with a spatula in her hand and a smile on her face.
As she got closer, the fragrance of food became stronger and stronger.
---
"Ack!"
Jiang Tian suddenly jolted awake from the dream.
---
A Beautiful Shock
As his eyes fluttered open, a beautiful and familiar face was right in front of him.
---
"Wha—?!"
---
He stared, wide-eyed—
His stunned expression reflected in the crystal-clear eyes of the person before him.
Because of how close they were, he could see:
The slightly curled ends of her long eyelashes.
The few wisps of fluffy hair escaping from her high ponytail.
The gentle warmth of her breath brushing against his face.
---
For a long moment, the two simply stared at each other.
Jiang Tian finally snapped back to reality.
---
He quickly turned over, jumping off the bed—
Landing steadily on the other side of the room.
Fortunately, he had no strange hobbies, or else this would have been embarrassing.
---
At this moment, the pretty girl who had been squatting by his bedside finally stood up.
That's right—
The intruder was none other than Xue Ruyan.
---
She was wearing a white off-shoulder shirt tucked into black hot pants—
Her long, fair legs were so dazzlingly white that Jiang Tian was momentarily blinded.
---
Xue Ruyan:
"I didn't expect Classmate Jiang's sleeping posture to be so cute."
She placed one hand on her hip and grinned mischievously.
---
Xue Ruyan:
"Oh, and by the way!"
"It was Auntie's instruction to come in and wake you up. So, you can't blame me for taking the initiative~"
---
Jiang Tian felt his face heat up.
He shook his head, brushing off the awkwardness.
---
Jiang Tian:
"I didn't expect you to come today, and so early."
---
Xue Ruyan:
"We have to fill out our applications today. Did you forget?"
---
Jiang Tian blinked.
---
Jiang Tian:
"Today?"
---
Xue Ruyan:
"Technically, we have 15 days, but it's better to finish early."
---
Jiang Tian had completely forgotten.
---
"No wonder she came to wake me up herself."
---
He quickly washed up, then followed Xue Ruyan downstairs.
It was time to officially apply for martial arts university.
