"Name?"
"Huai Shi."
"Age?"
"17."
"Occupation?"
"Prostitution... I mean, sorry, that just slipped out. I'm a student, also serving as the secretary of the Astronomy Club and an operative at the New Sea base... Can't we just forget about that?"
Under the glaring light, he struggled to lift his hands from the table to shield his eyes, but it was just out of reach.
"Not enough."
"No!"
The interrogator across the table slammed the teacup down heavily and asked coldly, "Tell me, where were you and who were you with at 7:30 last night, and what were you planning to do?"
Huai Shi smirked, "Garden Restaurant, with your daughter, planning to have dinner."
Bang!
Director Fu slammed his hand on the table, eyes wide with anger. "How dare you say that! Am I unable to hold a gun, or are you out of your mind? I've warned you multiple times, and yet you still dare to pursue my daughter!"
"Cough, cough."
Huai Shi coughed and then explained seriously, "It's like this, it's a philosophical question... Everyone is born to a father and mother, right? So, as long as I go out for a meal, I'll definitely be eating with someone's son or daughter. It just so happens that this person's father is you. It's just a coincidence!"
"Damn it!"
Director Fu glared at him with hatred, grinding his teeth. "Look at the trouble you've caused! Committing crimes is one thing, but just as our father-daughter relationship was starting to improve, now it's gone to hell!"
"Don't blame me for not going to the school anniversary, okay?"
"I..."
"You don't want to see your wife, right?" Huai Shi sighed. "It's a coincidence, your wife feels the same way."
"..."
Looking into the light, Huai Shi observed Director Fu's gloomy expression and shook his head in disappointment. "Then you both stood each other up, causing trouble."
"What does that have to do with you having dinner with her?"
Huai Shi rolled his eyes, unable to bear it any longer. "Come on, she's not a child anymore. She's just having a meal with her friend, not going to a hotel. What's it to you?"
Bang!
"Do you want to go to a hotel?!"
As soon as the words were out, a figure pounced on him, pulling him up from the chair with a fierce expression. "I knew you had bad intentions, you little bastard!"
"For example! For example! I'm just giving an example! Let go of me! I'll call for help! Assault at the Special Affairs Department, help!"
"Director Fu, that's enough..."
The people nearby were dumbfounded and quickly rushed over, calming the situation down. It took a while to get Director Fu back in his seat.
"Parents' hearts are so pitiful."
Huai Shi sighed, shaking his head helplessly. He flicked a wire out of his finger seam, twisted it inside the handcuffs, and unlocked it himself.
After moving his wrists a bit, he straightened his collar, sat up, and said seriously, "Listen, Director Fu, you know me..."
"Don't call me Director Fu!" Director Fu widened his eyes. "You know me? You're so despicable, don't you know that?!"
"Enough of this!"
Huai Shi was so angry he wanted to flip the table, but then he sighed in resignation. "Forget it, let's not argue about this. I swear to God, I have no ill intentions towards your daughter..."
"Hmm?" Director Fu's expression turned dark. "Are you saying you're too noble to be interested in her now?"
Huai Shi felt like his head was about to explode, and his skull hurt.
"Brother, you really are my elder brother... It's wrong if you're interested, and it's wrong if you're not. What do you want from me?!"
Director Fu's face turned green. "If you take advantage of me again, I'll throw you out of here, believe it or not?"
"Okay, okay, okay."
Huai Shi bowed his head in resignation, pleading, "Fu Yi is like a sister to me. Even if I die today, even if I jump from this building, I won't think about dating her! It's the modern age, please put away your dirty thoughts!"
"She's a good student, but you're not!"
Director Fu stared warily at the little troublemaker in front of him, as if he were looking at a thief who had sneaked into his backyard with a hoe while he was away.
"Do you even know who Fu Yi is? Well, maybe you don't, but at least have some confidence in her."
Huai Shi scratched his head and sighed. "To be honest, I have no interest in your family relationships, and I have no intention of meddling in her private affairs.""But you have to understand, not everyone is filled with teenage hormones and blind love. Not everyone needs their dad to send a sniper to lock onto their classmates with infrared for 24 hours, or their mom to send detectives to investigate every detail of their classmates... Besides, even if you do all this, does it really work? Has it changed her mind?"
Director Fu was speechless, and after a long time, he sighed irritably, "It's the rebellious phase."
"I have to say, if this is her rebellious phase, you guys are really lucky."
Huai Shi shook his head, not wanting to argue with his classmate's father about raising a daughter, and thinking about getting the job done quickly, he suddenly forgot what the job was.
"By the way, why did I come here?"
"How would I know!"
Director Fu was exasperated, "Do you think the Special Affairs Department is your home? You're just wandering around with nothing to do?"
"I was brought here as soon as I entered the door without even saying a word. I'm also very desperate!"
Huai Shi became even more indignant and, after thinking for a long time, suddenly remembered and slapped his forehead, "Right, my Border Hunter license and Realm Travel Permit."
"..."
As a result, Director Fu's expression became particularly unwilling.
Ten minutes later, the clerk handed a whole file bag to Huai Shi.
"Tsk."
Director Fu escorted him out, and finally reminded him, "Don't think that having a license and permit means you can do whatever you want. You have to abide by the rules, understand?"
"You, who broke the rules first, have no right to lecture me!"
Huai Shi slung his backpack over his shoulder and left.
Gone, gone, I won't come back next time.
Every time I come to this place, I get detained. Who can stand it?
Shortly after leaving, Huai Shi received a call from Fu Yi.
The voice on the other end of the phone was quite noisy, with people coming and going.
"Do you have time?" she asked. "I'm at the internet cafe with Liu Rong and Liao Jun, playing games. Come quickly, I'll help you rank up."
"Forget it, the last person who wanted to rank up with me has been cold for four hundred years."
Huai Shi shook his head, and after thinking about it, he explained, "Don't worry, I'm not in trouble. I just exchanged experiences with a friend. Just having a meal, can he still send me to the border?"
"Okay, then let's eat next time."
Fu Yi's tone seemed to relax a bit.
"What are we eating?" Liao Jun's voice came from the other end of the phone. "Get me one, I'll treat you. There's a barbecue place nearby..."
"Get lost, you've lost all your points, and all you think about is eating... I'm lagging, hurry up, hurry up! Rong Rong, run, hey, mine, mine..."
Liao Jun is the commissioner of the Student Union's organization department, and seems to have some thoughts about Fu Yi that are not allowed by the school rules.
Although his family conditions are quite good, he is not a bad boy, but rather has a big brother vibe, with good grades and a good personality. After being gently rejected by Fu Yi a few times, it seems that he has never given up and has been secretly investigating her college aspirations, as if planning a long-distance run.
A quick look at "pawread dot com" will leave you more fulfilled.
However, Miss Fu has seen through the worldliness of her parents, and although she does not deliberately ignore her usual interactions, she has always subtly limited the distance between friends. It seems that she cannot escape the label of a good buddy.
After reading her long list of life plans, Huai Shi wondered if this person ever planned to get married.
But that has nothing to do with him.
After all, life is not just about love. Even if she doesn't get married, Huai Shi believes that Fu Yi will be able to rise to the top on her own.
Listening to the noise of their play, Huai Shi couldn't help but sigh, "Youth is really good."
For some reason, a sense of world-weariness suddenly rose in his heart, and he suddenly became artistic.
After finishing a wave of team battles, Fu Yi seemed a little worried, "Really not eating?"
"Really not, I'm going home to study." Huai Shi said, "I'm taking the exam in Jinling next week."
"Okay..."
Fu Yi didn't say anything more, and said calmly, "Then let's meet in Jinling."
What did you say?
Huai Shi was stunned, but before he could remember to ask, the phone hung up.
Leaving Huai Shi standing in the middle of the street, looking at the hustle and bustle of traffic, with a bewildered look on his face.
He suddenly felt a little afraid that Director Fu would lead a group of people to Jinling.
When he got home, he saw that the flowers Uncle Fang had watered in the past two days had bloomed, and the originally desolate front yard had regained its former gentle appearance. Uncle Fang was standing at the door, checking the delivery after signing for it.
After the deliveryman left, Huai Shi threw down his bag and saw a huge box in the living room.
"What's this? Where did you buy it? How much did it cost?"
Huai Shi stared at Crow, launching a barrage of questions."Your textbook, the one from the official Stone Cauldron Academy's online store, it even comes with free shipping. And they're throwing in 8 master class DVDs to explain the difficult points. It's not expensive, just four million dollars for the whole set..."
"How much?!"
Huai Shi was so shocked that he almost jumped up and poked a hole in the ceiling: "Four million?! You spent four million on this pile of junk?"
"Knowledge is priceless, little devil."
Crow looked at him with disappointment: "In this monopoly industry, they set the price, and besides, if you really learn from it, you'll make it back in a few years."
"I'll make nothing! I spent it all on you!"
Huai Shi rolled his eyes, opened the box, and found that the Stone Cauldron Academy was incredibly stingy. The big iron box was wrapped in layers of bubble wrap, and inside were just a dozen books. One was an entry-level alchemy book that was completely useless, and there were two mineral guides and eight books on the basics of metallurgy...
All of which he already knew!
Huai Shi was furious: "You want four million for these few pieces of junk?"
"Do you know? There was a poor kid like you in the past, from a poor family but with extraordinary talent." Crow said seriously, "He didn't buy expensive textbooks, he studied on his own and passed the alchemy exam at the Stone Cauldron Academy... guess what happened to him later?"
"Become a great master?" Huai Shi asked tentatively.
"When the results came out, the Stone Cauldron Academy couldn't find the record of the textbooks he purchased in their database, so they accused him of stealing knowledge that didn't belong to him and reported him to the Astronomical Society. He was sentenced to ninety-two years in prison and hard labor for violating the Stone Cauldron Academy's copyright, and he's still in prison growing chrysanthemums to this day." Crow said coldly.

It's not expensive, just four million dollars for the whole set...""How much?!"Huai Shi was so shocked that he almost jumped up and poked a hole in the ceiling: "Four million?! You spent four million on this pile of junk?""Knowledge is priceless, little devil."Crow looked at him with disappointment: "In this monopoly industry, they set the price, and besides, if you really learn from it, you'll make it back in a few years.""I'll make nothing! I spent it all on you!"Huai Shi rolled his eyes, opened the box, and found that the Stone Cauldron Academy was incredibly stingy. The big iron box was wrapped in layers of bubble wrap, and inside were just a dozen books. One was an entry-level alchemy book that was completely useless, and there were two mineral guides and eight books on the basics of metallurgy...All of which he already knew!Huai Shi was furious: "You want four million for these few pieces of junk?""Do you know? There was a poor kid like you in the past, from a poor family but with extraordinary talent." Crow said seriously, "He didn't buy expensive textbooks, he studied on his own and passed the alchemy exam at the Stone Cauldron Academy... guess what happened to him later?""Become a great master?" Huai Shi asked tentatively."When the results came out, the Stone Cauldron Academy couldn't find the record of the textbooks he purchased in their database, so they accused him of stealing knowledge that didn't belong to him and reported him to the Astronomical Society. He was sentenced to ninety-two years in prison and hard labor for violating the Stone Cauldron Academy's copyright, and he's still in prison growing chrysanthemums to this day." Crow said coldly.
