In the hall, the two people spent tens of seconds of their remaining two hours quarreling, yet Ren Yuanhao was intensely focused on something on a low-lying weed. Da Feng Novel Network.
Yu Yue walked closer, said nothing, and paid no mind to what Ren Yuanhao was observing. She simply gazed at Ren Yuanhao like a lovesick admirer.
After a dozen seconds, Ren Yuanhao still hadn't moved, only speaking in a low, gentle voice, "What are you looking at?"
"You're my temporary boyfriend, of course I'm looking at you."
Yu Yue's eyes wouldn't bat.
"But in my impression, a woman like you, so demure and with a scholarly air, wouldn't you rather spend your life staring at books?"
Ren Yuanhao's lips curved upward, confident and with a hint of wicked charm.
Yu Yue returned a similar smile, "In university, and even after entering society, I've always been like you said, preparing to spend my life dealing with books. However, I only have two hours left in my life. If I don't do something outrageous, I'll find this life too dull. So, I want to make up for everything I didn't see, everything I wasn't satisfied with in college, all at once."
"So, am I good-looking?"
Ren Yuanhao asked for no particular reason.
"You are. A man who can stand in front of a woman is a true man."
Yu Yue's words were like a knife cutting into the hearts of the two men who were eavesdropping.
"Look, the two of them are being so lovey-dovey, it's nauseating!"
"Hey, our lives only have two hours left, are we going to be jealous here?"
"Yeah? Wouldn't it be better to seize this opportunity to let loose?"
"Long live indulgence!"
The two reached an agreement and, dancing the cha-cha, happily fled the vegetable and fruit breeding point as if they had found five million.
"Speaking of which, are there only three of you in this institution?" Ren Yuanhao grabbed a handful of aphids, enough to make sufferers of trypophobia flee, and held them before his eyes, making casual conversation.
Yu Yue nodded, "That's right, it's always been the three of us. The man you angered just now is Professor Wales, the man in charge of the entire ecological and environmental system of the Grey Wolves."
"Hearing you say that, I think I've offended quite an important figure?"
Ren Yuanhao's tone held no trace of fear.
"Yes, below the Eight Kings, he is the greatest. So, I think I've harmed you. Originally, you could have reached a higher position."
Yu Yue sighed, but was immediately pulled into Ren Yuanhao's embrace!
Yu Yue's heart was pounding like a wild deer, and in her short life, she had never felt such a domineering yet gentle aura from a man.
"Xiaotian, if there's a chance, I sincerely hope you can escape from here," Yu Yue's tone suddenly became a little melancholy. "Do you know, if I could choose, I would have tried to escape long ago, but I can't. My family is controlled by the Grey Wolves, I can't just think of myself."
Yu Yue clung tightly to Ren Yuanhao, as if only in his arms could she find some solace, some sense of existence, some little bit of warmth.
Ren Yuanhao simply kept stroking her back and whispered, "It's only when one hears the death knell that they realize what they truly want."
"Then what do you want most?" Yu Yue's demeanor suddenly shifted from the gentle, scholarly woman to someone incredibly lively.
Ren Yuanhao simply said indifferently, "May those I wish to protect live a hundred years."
"You really are a strange person. Everyone who comes here is for fame, for killing, for excitement. You're different."
As soon as Yu Yue finished speaking, Ren Yuanhao replied, "Actually, aren't you the same as me, hoping to protect your family?"
"But my abilities are limited."
"No, with me here, you can be all-powerful."
Ren Yuanhao's eyes flashed with an irresistible, unquestionable light, like the light of salvation descending from the heavens at dawn, holy and beautiful.
"All-powerful?"
Yu Yue had initially thought Ren Yuanhao was comforting her, like two people in the same boat, finding warmth by leaning on each other. When time was up, they could go to the underworld together, which would be nice.
However, Ren Yuanhao suddenly stood up and said solemnly to Yu Yue, "Watch this place carefully. When I return, I will bring a miracle with me."
For some reason, Yu Yue clearly didn't want Ren Yuanhao to leave. But this man was just her temporary boyfriend; what right did she have to hold onto him tightly?
Yu Yue eventually nodded heavily. At this moment, she could only choose to unconditionally trust Ren Yuanhao, believe in the miracle he promised, and watch the only light that had ignited in her life disappear outside the hall.
After leaving the hall, Ren Yuanhao made his way to the Grey Wolves' cultivation area, asking for directions. Coincidentally, there was an old farmer tending to the crops there.
Two hours later, in the hall of the vegetable and fruit seedling cultivation point, two men lay sprawled out, exhausted from excessive indulgence.
"Hey, I say, Yu Yue, don't you feel regretful that you didn't have any intimate moments with the man you liked in your last two hours?"
The bald man stared at the simple sky-blue canvas roof, the lingering warmth of the sun still steaming on it, the heat refusing to dissipate.
"Don't mock her. I think that man already ran away. He's probably holding another woman right now, saying the same sweet nothings to her. Yu Yue, good-looking men are unreliable. Why don't we just make do with each other again and find some fun? We only have less than twenty minutes left before we're sentenced to death."
Yu Yue ignored the two and looked with great surprise at the weed Ren Yuanhao had asked her to watch. As evening fell, strange ladybugs began to crawl out furiously along this weed!
At this moment, Yu Yue frowned, turned on her phone's light, and peered into the depths of the weed. She saw a large cluster of ladybug eggs lying at the base of this patch of weeds!
"Could this be the miracle he wanted to give me?"
Yu Yue was quite perplexed. Just then, the man who was to harvest their lives, Wales, had quietly entered the hall, followed by about ten A-class men!
Upon entering, the sight of the two men lying about in disarray greatly angered Wales. "Just by looking at your pathetic state, I know nothing good is going to happen. Where's Yu Yue?"
The two men pointed in unison towards the cultivation room.
"Bring her out!"
The two obeyed and brought Yu Yue out.
"Time is up. How is it?"
Wales spoke without any emotion.
Yu Yue said nothing, merely looking silently at the dust dancing in the wind outside the hall.
"Oh? It seems that kid has already fled. He was so confident, talking about how he had a way to solve it, but in the end, he ran faster than a rabbit." Wales grabbed Yu Yue's face, causing a burst of laughter.
"I believe he will return."
