"Where can I find a toilet at this hour? I need to go to the washroom fast, it’s urgent!" Zhang Shan gave Ailun a stern look.

The dormitory suddenly became chaotic. The dress from yesterday was definitely not in a wearable condition. Wang Zheng rummaged through his own set of sportswear to pick one for Aina.

"Oh, shut up! How long has it been since I fell asleep?" Wang Zheng yelled at the top of his voice.

"Faster! I can’t hold it in any longer!"

"Coming! Stop shouting, let me put some clothes on properly."

Wang Zheng opened the door. Zhang Shan rushed into the washroom. Chen Xiu and Yao Ailun helped each other as they fell onto their bed.

"I’m never gonna drink so much again. The world is spinning." Chen Xiu shook his head. "Ailun, could you shift there a little, you’re sitting on me."

Wang Zheng blocked the two’s sight and Aina snuck out of the dormitory. After which they gave each other a V hand sign.

After closing the door, Wang Zheng walked Aina out. As they left the male dormitory, Aina’s face was blushing.

It was definitely because of the alcohol. She would not be so daring otherwise.

Although nothing happened between the two of them, their feelings for each other had developed further. What was more important was that Aina was confident that Wang Zheng was the man she was waiting for.

They didn’t say anything to each other. Aina then gave Wang Zheng a morning kiss.

As Aina left, Wang Zheng smiled to himself. Now he wouldn’t be able to fall asleep anymore. "Time for some exercise," he thought to himself. "I can’t live my life sluggishly anymore."

It was 6am when Wang Zheng finished his run. He could continue with his morning training after taking a bath.

As he opened the dormitory door, Wang Zheng got a shock. There were three men standing behind the door waiting for him.

Zhang Shan got hold of him first and ordered him to sit down.

In the middle of the room was a small stool.

Yao Ailun was clearly sober now. He pushed his spectacles upwards as he spoke. "We are all individuals who believe in democracy. If you are honest with us, we will let you off. If you decide not to, we will go the hard way. Do you understand?"

"Are you guys drunk? Say what you’ve got to say, I need to go for my morning exercise." Wang Zheng took a glance at Aina’s dress in the cupboard hoping that no one had seen it.

"Brother Zheng, on the contrary, we are very sober," Chen Xiu said.

"Xiao Xiu, cut the crap. Let us do our job," Zhang Shan said. "Wang Zheng, as comrades in the same situation, you ought to share any new developments you have had with the girl. So tell us, what did you do yesterday night?"

Wang Zheng was caught off guard. "I slept?"

In this era, you had to know how to act ignorant. If you didn’t, then you truly were ignorant.

"Hah! You still want to lie to us? There is the smell of perfume in the room. Don’t tell me it’s yours?"

"It could have been during the dance that some perfumed scent got onto me." Wang Zheng coughed.

"So how long do you think this scent will last? And how do you explain this. This pair of delicate earrings? Who do they belong to?"

Yao Ailun showed him some earrings in the form of a water droplets.

Damn, Aina must have carelessly dropped this here.

Wang Zheng went for a closer look. "Oh, maybe this was accidentally hooked onto my clothes or something..."

"Damn you, it’s so hard to get you to answer. You won’t just comfort the rest of us with the truth? Was it Wang Shishi?"

"I don’t understand how such a beautiful girl could fall for you!"

Zhang Shan hugged Wang Zheng as he spoke in excitement.

"Yeah, this Ms. Shishi is so mysterious. She doesn’t stay on campus, and we don’t see her often too." Chen Xiu said.

"And this is not all! You know that earring over there? I just went to check its value. It is a Chanel Milky Way Galaxy limited edition piece. There’s are only three pieces, all made of Pegasus Hall icy crystals, each selling at 13 million dollars!"

Yao Ailun was a mini encyclopedia. Indeed he was truly the all-knowing godly Ailun!

Zhang Shan and Chen Xiu were alarmed. "This small trinket is so valuable?"

"Nothing you guys would know about! Even if you had the money, you couldn’t buy this!" Yao Ailun rolled his eyes at them.

Wang Zheng fumbled with the earring in his hands. "How could this small trinket be worth so much? Maybe it could just be a replica. You guys are just making a mountain out of a molehill."

"Wang Zheng, please blow into this pair of earrings," Yao Ailun said. "Give it a strong blow."

Wang Zheng was curious too. He blew gently into the earrings, and to his surprise, a rainbow formed around them.

"F**k, man, this is the real deal! There were rumors saying that when the earrings get in contact with water vapor, a rainbow will form. This is real icy crystal diamond!"

Even Yao Ailun was in shock.

"Brother, you are my idol. Did you guys ..."

The three of them looked at Wang Zheng. Wang Zheng felt that if he stayed, he would be interrogated forever. He grabbed his bag and said, "I’m leaving first; you guys can continue. Don’t think too much, and nothing happened!"

"Hey! This isn’t right!"

"This is not scientific!"

"Why haven’t I turned 18?!"

A weird groaning sound could be heard from Dormitory 007. It was like a wolf which had yet to fulfil its desires.

Wang Zheng got to the gym of the MMA club only to realise that someone was one step ahead of him.

Meng Tian was already training, executing continuous kicks against a block. She stopped and wiped her sweat off as she saw Wang Zheng walking in.

"Don’t tell me you stayed up all night," Wang Zheng asked.

Meng Tian glanced at Wang Zheng. "I always sleep and wake up at a fixed hour. I think it was you who didn’t sleep the whole night, right? Someone was on a date with no time to care about the rest."

"I’m sorry. I didn’t manage to help out with your problem yesterday..." coughed Wang Zheng.

"It’s alright. You actually helped out. I told Lear that I like you, so that means he won’t bother me anymore. Your days will be tougher from now on, I guess."

Meng Tian blinked sheepishly.

Wang Zheng could feel himself drenched in cold sweat.

"You must be careful. Lear is a very powerful opponent. Until now there has yet to be anyone he can’t defeat."

Wang Zheng smiled. "I like to challenge strong opponents. But if he can’t win consistently, then isn’t it a waste of time for you?"

Meng Tian was alarmed by what Wang Zheng said. "How could he...?"

"I will be awaiting your triumph. Come, let’s train for a while more."

"Sure!"

Wang Zheng equipped his armguards. Bonehead always said that professionals were the ones who could withstand beatings!

There was something waiting for Aina when she returned to the Shangri-la.

It was heavily guarded. The Prime Minister of Aslan, Kashawan, appeared on the screen.

"Aina, you disobeyed the rules of the outing. Your holiday is over."

The surrounding guards lowered their heads. They didn’t have a choice either. They needed to report what the princess did truthfully. The facts that she didn’t return the previous night and had even removed the antenna were considered to be serious matters.

Aina was Aslan’s top symbol of royalty. She was perfect and pure, with not a single defect.

"Aunt, Huiyin is arriving soon. Can’t I go back together with her?" Aina said coquettishly. She had expected this to come but not so soon.

Kashawan sighed. "Aina, we are at a very special point in the time of our dynasty. You possess immense responsibility. This is a decision by the royal council. I have helped you cover up a lot of things. You do know that if this information spreads out, things will get messy, right? I can’t cover that up too."

Aina was stunned. She nodded in silence. "Kashawan, yes, I know now."

"Princess, your Highness, you uphold the pride and honour of Aslan!"

Kashawan, although known as the Iron Lady, was still a lady as well. She understood Aina’s situation and was crystal clear about it. A similar event had happened to her as well. Time would eventually heal all wounds, this was the truth.

"I really wish that I was just born an ordinary person!"

"Aina, being oblivious and giving in are both inappropriate ways to deal with this issue. If you want to decide you own fate, you have to become stronger. Go and rule the empire!"

Kashawan did not know how well Aina could perform. She would rather point out a clear direction for Aina to pursue instead of allowing Aina to continue being rebellious. However, the truth was that no one had ever done it before.

Wang Zheng sat quietly in the classroom. Aina did not come today.

Aina had once said that when she leaves, she would leave quietly.

As he looked out of the windows, everything seemed so bright. Was it truly time to give up?

There was no such phrase in Wang Zheng’s dictionary.

Was his only purpose to be a super soldier?

Wang Zheng used to train to be a super soldier just for the sake of being one, but now he had a new goal in mind!

The first few days when Aina wasn’t around, all Wang Zheng did was attend lessons and training. He needed some time to adapt and think.

Yan Xiaosu seemed to have discovered something. Some things were bound to happen. As a brother, he thought it would be best to let Wang Zheng understand the reality of the situation. Things would only get more hurtful as time passed.

Yan Xiaosu accompanied Wang Zheng every day. He even attended the physics lecture which Wang Zheng was in, although he couldn’t understand anything.

During Wang Zheng’s training sessions, he would squat at the side with a towel and water all ready.

There were no redundant lines between them. Yan Xiaosu understood Wang Zheng. There wasn’t a need to say anything else.

"Yan Xiaosu, what have you been doing these few days? Come here, now!" An Mei was angry. Him having disappeared for three days was something she could not accept.

"Meimei, I have something going on. Please give me some time," Yan Xiaosu said. The issue about Wang Zheng was not to be spread around. He loved to hear rumors, but this was one thing he did not spread.

"Tyrant Su, how daring of you! It is either you roll over now and give me a proper explanation, or I will break up with you!" shouted An Mei.

This guy used to be timid. Now he had even dared to challenge her authority. The nerve of him!

"Stop nagging. Go walk it off! Do whatever you want," Xiaosu snapped.

He turned off his Skylink as Wang Zheng completed his training.

Wang Zheng smiled. "I am just trying to get over this situation. Why are you quarrelling with Meimei? You should go and explain the situation to her properly."

"Damn, women are like clothes, but bros are for life!"

Yan Xiaosu slammed his chest. Tyrant Su had always been easy-going, but when things crossed his bottom-line, he would be firmer than anyone else.

Back in the dorm, An Mei was flabbergasted. She couldn’t believe Yan Xiaosu would actually hang up on her.

Only Ye Zisu sensed that something was amiss. "Meimei, you must have wrongly accused Yan Xiaosu. He is definitely together with Wang Zheng."

"So what? Why doesn’t he tell me anything then!?"

"Sometimes as a girl, you cannot be overly attached. Men have their dignity and bottom-line too. Yan Xiaosu’s personality is really quite good as is," Ye Zisu said. She was very clear about the friendship between the two of them. It was impossible for Yan Xiaosu to neglect Wang Zheng at this point in time.

As they walked out of the training room, Yan Xiaosu raised his head to the sky. "What shall we do tonight? Don’t go back and study. The three clowns in your room are boring people too. Let’s go drink!"

Wang Zheng shook his head. "I want to play some CT and to challenge myself."

Yan Xiaosu was stunned for a moment and replied sarcastically, "Ahh, that’s weird. You seem addicted to this recently. You mean that at your level of skill, you enjoy getting destroyed by other players?"

Wang Zheng smiled helplessly. "Actually..."

Yan Xiaosu patted Wang Zheng’s back. "Sure, no problem. Let me bring you around tonight. Heck, whatever happens, let me show you what I’ve got!"

"I am Skeleton!"

"You are Skeleton? What Skeleton? What are you talking about... what did you say?"

Yan Xiaosu’s eyeballs almost dropped out as he looked at Wang Zheng. Skeleton... Skeleton...

"You are Skeleton?" Tyrant Su leaped up in shock, jumping almost fifty centimeters off the ground.

"My God, is there anything more surprising than this?!"

As the night went on, the constant snarling sounds of wolves alarmed a pool of mandarin ducks...
