Chapter 1228: For You

For You

"Big bro!! Take care on your way!!!"

"Thank you for paving the way and praying for us! Did you know?! Xiaoyu's illness is cured!!"

"Big bro!! After this war is over, we'll immediately hold our official wedding!! You must come then!!!"

"Yeah, big bro!! Remember to bring a gift! Hahahaha..."

"I bought you the ingredients for double-skin milk, but you didn't get to eat it this time. Next time, I'll definitely make it up to you!!"

"..."

The loud shouts of several young men were like magpies chirping, piercing through the dead silence. When they appeared, the gloomy sky seemed to regain a trace of color...

Rattle drums made crisp clattering sounds, and the high-pitched tooting of small trumpets swirled in the streets. These children's toys, which were not easy to borrow from the kids at the base, were fully equipped on them, like a comical children's band.

But coincidentally, the moment this "noise" rang out, Sun Bumian's painful coughing sounds began to weaken, and his breathing gradually steadied...

Pao Ge and the others couldn't hear Sun Bumian's coughing. They were simply following Chen Ling's instructions, making a ruckus while walking forward and shouting. Although they were hoarse from yelling, they were still brimming with enthusiasm!

"Big bro!! You must be well!!! Don't forget us!!!"

"Big bro!! We will definitely meet again!!"

"..."

The voices of the youths faded into the distance among the ruins.

Beneath the thick layer of earth, Sun Bumian's coughing sounds had completely disappeared.

He lay peacefully beside the Awakened Lion Head-dress, his chest gently rising and falling. A faint smile still hung on the corners of his mouth, as if he were having a joyous and festive sweet dream.

At the end of the hazy, drizzle-filled street, the figure draped in the Great Crimson Theatrical Robe also had the corners of his mouth slightly raised...

...

Ring, ring, ring—

A crisp bell rang in the classroom. Teacher Ye glanced at the time and gently closed his book:

"Class dismissed."

The creaking sounds of chairs being pushed sounded in succession. Sun Bumian, who had been secretly dozing off in the back row, suddenly failed to prop up his head, and his forehead hit the desk with a bang... He opened his sleepy eyes and lazily yawned.

This nap was very sweet!

Just as Sun Bumian was getting up and preparing to go eat, Teacher Ye's figure walked over to his side.

"Sun Bumian."

"Ah, Teacher Ye!" Sun Bumian instantly stood at attention with a swoosh, but the red mark on the corner of his mouth from propping up his head while dozing off was still there. He said seriously, "Teacher Ye, what's the matter?"

"..." Teacher Ye spoke somewhat helplessly, "Next time you sleep in class, don't snore, it will affect the other students."

Sun Bumian: ...

"Sorry, Teacher Ye..." Sun Bumian smiled awkwardly.

"No need to apologize. I know I have nothing to teach you, and I might even have to consult you on many history-related questions..." Teacher Ye spoke gently. "I'm already very happy that you're willing to come to class."

"I actually quite like going to class."

After all, it was during class that he slept the sweetest.

Teacher Ye nodded slightly. He hesitated for a moment, then still said:

"In the half a year since Jian Changsheng and Jiang Xiaohua left, you've been staying by Chen Ling's side. You've worked hard."

"Teacher Ye, you misunderstood." Sun Bumian repeatedly waved his hands. "My staying in the Integration Faction has absolutely nothing to do with Six of Hearts... I just purely like the atmosphere here. The children here are forever full of enthusiasm for life, and they take every holiday seriously. Such a lively and pure place is very hard to find even if you turn over the other major domains."

Sun Bumian was telling the truth. The Integration Faction was isolated from the outside world, and the children were taught very well by Teacher Ye. It was as happy and joyful as a utopia. Having stayed here for half a year, Sun Bumian had already stepped into the Fifth Stage, and had even faintly touched the threshold of the Sixth Stage.

If it were in other Human Domains, this process would take at least a year and a half.

"Speaking of which, I should properly thank you... After you came, the children have all been very happy. Whether it's the Awakened Lion, tanghulu, or the various handicrafts you taught them to make, they like them very much." Teacher Ye smiled sincerely.

"These are all things I've always wanted to do."

"Right, why didn't Chen Ling come to class again today?"

"He entered the Timeline Save File again today... Calculating the time, he should be coming out right about now."

"Mm, go eat."

After bidding farewell to Teacher Ye, Sun Bumian, who had been "kept after class," immediately rushed out of the classroom, running straight toward the Cafeteria.

Normally, Sun Bumian would definitely be the first to rush into the Cafeteria. After all, the food in the Integration Faction really suited his appetite. But being delayed for a while today, it was hard to say whether the dishes he liked to eat had already been snatched up...

Facts proved that his worries were correct.

When Sun Bumian saw those shiny empty plates that had already been snatched clean, he only felt like the sky was falling. He hugged his meal tray and recovered for quite a while before finally moving his heavy footsteps, casually getting two vegetables, and walking toward a corner table with sighs and groans.

"Big brother Sun, did you not get any meat?" A voice came from behind.

Sun Bumian looked back. Little Peach, wearing a small animal hairpin, was hugging a meal tray and standing behind him. "I have a few pieces of meat here, I'll give them to you."

Although Sun Bumian was gluttonous, how could he snatch a child's meat to eat? After silently swallowing a mouthful of saliva, he said seriously:

"I'm losing weight recently."

"Ah? Oh... alright then."

Sun Bumian rapidly shifted his gaze, preventing himself from looking at those heart-piercingly plump meat pieces again, and dejectedly found a corner table to sit down at.

His small Round Sunglasses reflected this simple and crude lunch. Sun Bumian sighed lightly, lowered his head, and rapidly shoveled the rice wrapped in vegetables into his mouth, tasting like wax... He silently decided in his heart to skip tomorrow's class early. Since his academic performance was at the bottom, it shouldn't be too much to snatch first place at eating in the Cafeteria, right?

Right at this moment, a figure sat down opposite him.

Sun Bumian didn't look up. He knew who it was, but when a plump braised chicken leg was handed into his bowl, his entire person was stunned...

He looked up blankly.

One chicken leg, two chicken legs, three chicken legs...

Chen Ling expressionlessly stuffed all the chicken legs from his own bowl into Sun Bumian's bowl.

"Six of Hearts... you... what are you doing?"

"Don't ask." Chen Ling raised his chin.

"Eat."

"..."

"Did the sun rise from the west today??" Sun Bumian looked at the mountain of chicken legs piled up in his bowl, looking like he suspected he hadn't woken up yet.

It was as if Chen Ling hadn't heard his muttering. He silently took out a small cup from behind him and handed it to Sun Bumian. A rich, familiar aroma drilled into Sun Bumian's nasal cavity!

"This is..."

"Double-skin milk." Chen Ling spoke calmly. "For you."
