Chapter 19: The Hug in Front of the Dormitory

“Pah!”

Su Ming was tossed to the ground by a few burly men right in front of An Zijin.

“Ah!”

An Zijin gasped, startled.

“You bunch of bastards.”

Su Ming was still dizzy from the fall. He gritted his teeth in pain, wishing he could rip these bastards to shreds for catching him and bringing him here without a word.

The bastards stood behind Ye Bai and Lei Hao, looking like a proper bodyguard and delivery person.

“Junior Sister An, check if this is your product.”

“Is this the Su Ming you ordered?”

“If not, please let us know. We support returns.”

“That’s right. We’ll take it back and destroy it on the spot. We guarantee there will be no traces left.”

These bastards’ words were filled with killing intent. Su Ming almost thought he had stolen their wives.

Of course, in these people’s minds, Su Ming was no different from someone who had stolen their wives.

Especially Ye Bai, who watched An Zijin’s expression change from excitement to sadness, then to excitement again, and finally to tears. It was almost like he was about to eat a feast.

If it were Xu Qianqian, she might have been able to ignore the situation, but An Zijin couldn’t do the same. He saw everyone ready to take Su Ming down for punishment and quickly spoke up.

“That’s right, that’s right! I’m looking for him!”

Even if Su Ming wasn’t the person An Zijin was looking for, she would still admit to it under these circumstances.

There was no way around it. If she didn’t admit to it, he would lose his life. An Zijin had no choice but to admit it.

But Su Ming lying on the ground clearly felt that although she had temporarily saved his life, the murderous intent gathered around him had only increased.

“That’s him. That’s him.”

Ye Bai stared at Su Ming, making him feel a little uneasy.

“Thank you all.”

An Zijin clearly didn’t know what had happened and could only thank everyone in a confused manner.

Everyone looked at An Zijin’s pitiful and cute appearance and felt their murderous intent subside.

“It’s nothing. It’s our honour to help Junior Sister An.”

“Then we’ll take our leave first.”

“You two. Take your time.” (Su Ming gritted his teeth.)

With that, the group of delivery men turned and left.

Lei Hao dragged Ye Bai away as well. The latter was completely drained of energy, like a salted fish that had lost its dreams.

“Serves you right!”

Su Ming didn’t feel any sympathy and instead only let out a cold snort.

Above Su Ming’s head, a hesitant and timid voice rang out.

“Are you okay?”

Su Ming lifted his head at the sound of this timid voice.

What he saw was An Zijin, the new school beauty, crouching in front of him.

An Zijin’s eyes were filled with excitement and joy that Su Ming couldn’t understand.

Su Ming didn’t understand this look, but he accidentally caught a glimpse of something he shouldn’t have. Who made An Zijin crouch in front of him while wearing a JK style school uniform?

Thus, Su Ming had no choice but to take in the beautiful scenery beneath the skirt.

“Ahem.”

Su Ming cleared his throat and stood up.

“Um, junior.” Su Ming forced a smile. “What can I do for you?”

He was genuinely worried that this lovely junior would be like Xu Qianqian and discover some of his secrets.

Otherwise, he really couldn’t think of why this new school beauty would come looking for him.

But as Su Ming thought this, An Zijin only remained silent. Her small hands began to twist and turn anxiously again, to the point that Su Ming was worried they might just twist off.

After a while, An Zijin seemed to have gathered her courage and looked at Su Ming.

“Do you not recognize me?” she asked, sounding quite nervous.

“How could I not recognize you?” Su Ming’s lips twitched. “You’re the new school beauty of the Warlock Division, the most talked-about person in school right now. How could anyone not recognize you?”

Was An Zijin here to show off to him?

That didn’t seem likely.

Just as Su Ming had this thought, the excitement and joy in An Zijin’s eyes disappeared.

“Looks like you don’t recognize me.”

An Zijin lowered her head and said something in a voice as soft as a mosquito’s. Her expression was filled with tears, and her eyes were dark.

“Ah…”

Su Ming was dumbfounded.

What kind of development was this? Why did it feel so strange? Was this really a prank?

And this goddess of a junior sister was going to cry here?

No way.

Su Ming knew that if he let An Zijin cry, he probably wouldn’t be able to hang around the Demon-Hunting Academy anymore.

Because at that time, the people who wanted to kill him would definitely line up from the academy’s main gate all the way to the back.

No, he needed to find a way to resolve this.

Su Ming’s survival instinct exploded.

But just as Su Ming was about to say something, the sight of An Zijin about to cry made him suddenly freeze up.

A strange sense of déjà vu or familiarity washed over Su Ming’s heart.

Su Ming frowned deeply as he looked at pitiful An Zijin.

In this situation, An Zijin’s face began to merge with a small face in Su Ming’s memories.

A memory that had been buried deep within him for a long time was dug up by Su Ming.

It was a memory from when he was young, before the world had changed.

Su Ming remembered that there was always a small figure following him around back then.

That child was the neighbour’s daughter.

The little girl had been very cute since she was young. Not only did her family dote on her, but Su Ming’s parents also loved her very much. They often took care of her and invited her over to eat at their home, treating her as if she were their own daughter.

Su Ming had thought the girl was very cute back then as well, but because the girl received so much care from his parents, the young Su Ming felt very unbalanced.

So, at first, Su Ming and the girl’s relationship had been very tense.

But later on, Su Ming and the girl’s relationship had improved.

As to why, Su Ming had forgotten.

He was only seven or eight years old back then, so naturally he couldn’t remember everything clearly.

But there was one thing Su Ming still remembered clearly.

That was, the girl had left with her parents to move abroad and moved away from his house.

On the day she left, the girl had looked just like An Zijin right now, her face gloomy and on the verge of tears.

The same expression and similar appearance made An Zijin before Su Ming’s eyes and the little sister in his memories grow closer and closer until they completely overlapped.

“Xiao Zijin?”

By the time Su Ming came back to his senses, he had already unconsciously called out the name of the girl from his memories.

An Zijin’s head shot up, and a burst of surprise that she had never seen before exploded in her eyes.

Su Ming was shocked by An Zijin’s reaction, but he still confirmed it.

“Are you Xiao Zijin? Uncle An’s daughter?”

Su Ming was stunned.

“Yes! That’s me! Big Brother Su Ming!”

The tears in An Zijin’s eyes disappeared, replaced by an expression of joyous tears.

There was no doubt that An Zijin was the girl he had known when he was young.

“Didn’t you go abroad?”

Su Ming was still a little shocked.

“Go abroad?”

An Zijin was also confused.

Only then did Su Ming realise that there were no more countries in this world.

“I mean, didn’t you leave Longyao City?” Su Ming quickly corrected himself.

“That’s right, Big Brother Su Ming, my family and I moved away from Longyao City to Yinzhe City.” An Zijin said happily, “But after I was tested for spiritual aptitude, I returned to this base city I grew up in to attend the Demon-Hunting Academy!”

Yinzhe City was one of the three base cities closest to Longyao City. It had a population of around ninety million and was a much more prosperous and powerful base city than Longyao City.

Because of their distance and geographical location, the four base cities that had mutual exchanges with each other—Longyao Base City, Yinzhe Base City, Qilan Base City, and Qinghai Base City—formed a small circle among the many base cities on the continent. They were collectively known as the four coastal cities.

Among them, Longyao City had a population of sixty million and ranked third among the four base cities. Yinzhe Base City had a population of ninety million and ranked first among the four base cities.

The An family, Su Ming’s neighbours, had chosen to move abroad for better opportunities and took An Zijin with them. At the time, she was only one year younger than Su Ming.

But now that the world had changed so drastically, it seemed that the An family’s choice to move abroad had become leaving Longyao City and moving to Yinzhe City, which was ranked first among the four coastal cities.

But now, An Zijin has returned.

And she had been tested for spiritual aptitude and became the head of the Warlock Division’s new students. She entered the Demon-Hunting Academy and became Su Ming’s junior, becoming the hottest new school beauty.

Su Ming was suddenly overwhelmed with emotions.

As for An Zijin, she couldn’t hold it in anymore.

“I finally got to see you, Big Brother Su Ming!”

The next action An Zijin took after saying this made the entire world go quiet.

An Zijin, who looked like she was about to cry from happiness, threw herself into Su Ming’s arms without hesitation.

Yes.

An Zijin hugged him.

Su Ming was still in shock, but he instinctively held the little girl in his arms.

At this moment, Su Ming experienced the softness of her body and the sweet scent of a young girl all at once.

“Big Brother Su Ming! Big Brother Su Ming!”

An Zijin didn’t notice at all and continued to hold Su Ming tightly as she basked in the joy of their reunion.

Su Ming seemed to have realised something and started to sweat profusely.

“Kill!”

“Kill!”

“Kill!”

From the direction of the dormitory, a terrifying killing intent exploded into rage that enveloped Su Ming.

Su Ming could even hear Ye Bai’s heartbroken voice and a blood-curdling scream.

“Ha ha.”

Su Ming gave up and smiled.

Later, Su Ming ran.

He dragged An Zijin along and escaped into the distance under the collective pursuit of the boys.
