Chapter 25

When Qin Yan regained consciousness again, it was already late at night. He found himself lying in bed, his tattered clothes from before having been replaced with clean clothes of unknown origin.

"It's just a bit cold, seems like nothing serious." Qin Yan touched his body, remembering being turned into an ice popsicle by Li Ruobing. He couldn't help but shiver at the thought, feeling grateful that he hadn't been frozen to death by her.

"What the heck, who changed my clothes and washed me? Who would do such a thing?" Qin Yan felt a chill in his heart, thinking about someone or some people possibly tampering with his body while he was unconscious, making him feel uncomfortable.

"I can't stay here anymore. The people here are either perverts or lunatics. If I continue like this, I'll be in trouble sooner or later!" With this thought in mind, Qin Yan sat up from the bed. At that moment, a clear and bright voice came from the door, "You're awake?"

Looking towards the door, Qin Yan saw Lin Shiqi entering the room with a bowl of steaming rice and dishes. Seeing Qin Yan sitting up, she handed him the bowl and chopsticks, saying, "Are you still cold? Have something to eat to warm up."

Qin Yan had just been turned into an ice popsicle by Li Ruobing and hadn't eaten anything yet. His stomach was growling with hunger, so he accepted the bowl and chopsticks from Lin Shiqi and hungrily started eating by the bed.

"Ah, why did you have to provoke Ice Sister? Now you know you were wrong," Lin Shiqi sat next to Qin Yan, chin in hands, watching him intently.

"What did I do wrong? Clearly, that woman has a problem in her head. She deserved to be deceived in the past," Qin Yan grumbled as he ate.

Lin Shiqi sighed again and whispered, "Actually, Ice Sister showed you mercy. If she really wanted to harm you, you would have been bedridden for at least a week before being able to sit up and eat."

"Hmph," Qin Yan snorted, realizing Lin Shiqi had a point and chose not to argue.

"How's the food? Does it taste good, suit your appetite?"

"The taste is great. Did you make this? You're really good at cooking," Qin Yan was impressed by Lin Shiqi's talents at such a young age.

"No, actually Ice Sister made the food."

"Don't take me for a fool. That woman would rather see me dead. Why would she be so kind?" Qin Yan thought Lin Shiqi was deliberately speaking in favor of Li Ruobing and didn't believe her at all.

"It's true. Ice Sister also helped you change your clothes. She said you were all dirty and looked terrible, so she gave you a bath, changed your clothes, and applied medicine to your wounds."

Qin Yan let out a sound of surprise, feeling that Lin Shiqi's words might be true. His face turned slightly red as he muttered, "That woman really has a problem in her head to do such things." However, he also felt relieved, thinking that if it was Li Ruobing, he could accept it. If it were a group of burly men cleaning him, he might not want to live anymore.

This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.

"In fact, Ice Sister is a very reasonable person. After I told her the truth when I came back, she felt really guilty, which is why she did this to compensate you."

"Consider it a bit of conscience on her part," Qin Yan said as he continued to eat heartily, not wasting any food.

"Oh, I have some good news to tell you."

"What news?"

"Well, Ice Sister said since you don't like staying here, she suggested that you should accompany me in the future. She has always been worried about me acting alone outside, and seeing how you protect me, she came up with this idea for both of us to watch out for each other."

"That sounds alright. It's better than being cooped up here all day."

"Alright then, I'm going to rest now. Make sure to heal your injuries quickly, so you don't slow me down when we're out together. That would be a headache."

Qin Yan agreed and thought about the upcoming school break, a good time to rest properly. Constant fighting and battles were taking a toll on him, even with his strong physique.

Not long after finishing his meal, Qin Yan went to rest early. Over the next few days, he stayed in the Supernatural Academy to recuperate. Gao Zhanxiang had warned Liu Shi before, and Liu Shi didn't return to the academy to cause trouble for Qin Yan. Li Ruobing also visited Qin Yan a few times, saying the previous incident was a misunderstanding and asking him not to hold a grudge.

Qin Yan wasn't one to hold grudges easily, so he accepted Li Ruobing's apology. Perhaps due to his body refining ability, Qin Yan's body recovered quickly. Within a few days, the cuts and bruises from the knife wounds and club strikes on his body had completely healed, leaving barely any scars.

One morning, fully recovered, Qin Yan and Lin Shiqi sat in a red car, leaving the Supernatural Academy.

"Shiqi, I have something to discuss with you."

"What's up?"

"I see you're often free, just wandering around outside with not much to do. So, you should continue to act alone like before. If there's really an issue, I'll come to help you."

Lin Shiqi paused for a moment, then understood, "Got it. I can tell you're not interested in these things. You probably have classes today, right? I'll drive you to school."

Seeing Lin Shiqi's understanding nature, Qin Yan couldn't help but sigh, "Shiqi, you're so good to me, why not just be my girlfriend?"

Lin Shiqi's face blushed, thinking they had only known each other for a few days, this was too rushed. She replied with a shy expression, "You're quite bold in your thinking."

In reality, Qin Yan was just speaking casually. In the past, he had health issues and a bit of inferiority complex, so he never really thought about having a girlfriend. Even though he had recovered physically now, his mindset hadn't changed much. He just wanted to go with the flow - if he had a girlfriend, great; if not, it was okay.

About an hour later, the car stopped near Biyang High School. Qin Yan got out of the car and headed straight towards the school's main gate.

"Wait, don't walk so fast." Lin Shiqi also got out of the car and hurried to catch up with Qin Yan.

"Why are you coming over? Didn't we agree to separate actions?" Qin Yan stopped and turned to look at Lin Shiqi.

"Huh, didn't I tell you?" Lin Shiqi blinked her eyes.

"What did you tell me?"

"There's information that someone in your school has been in contact with an external supernatural organization. I'm here this time to infiltrate your school and find out who this person is, then trace back to the supernatural organization. How about this plan, isn't it perfect?"

"Is this really happening?" Qin Yan questioned, "Where did you get this information from? Is it reliable?" After all, he had been studying at this school for nearly two years and had never heard of such things happening.

"I'm not sure about that," Lin Shiqi touched her chin, looking quite experienced, "But based on my past experience, most information is false. If one out of fifty pieces of information turns out to be true, that's considered good."

Qin Yan couldn't help but feel embarrassed and asked, "Where did you get this information from?"

"Oh, I stumbled upon it while browsing forums online."

Qin Yan gasped, his body swaying, almost falling to the ground.

Frowning, Lin Shiqi pretended to be annoyed and said, "What do you mean by that? Looking down on me, huh? Don't forget, I was the one who found you and brought you to the Supernatural Academy." After saying this, she smiled proudly. Hearing her words, Qin Yan felt that Lin Shiqi indeed had some skills.
