Chapter 9

: Dying without anyone you loved—that's so tragic.

Wang Guofu was numb.

His teachers were also stunned.

Is Li Yi speaking human language?

You can excuse yourself for catching that huge pile of grilled fish in front of me.

How long has it been? And you've already brought over a small boatload of meat?

How come you're so capable? (Gritting teeth)

Yin Ling spoke up for Li Yi in a low voice.

"Really... I can vouch for Li Yi..."

Li Yi squinted and said, "Director Wang, I'll only be gone for a little while."

"I never imagined that our esteemed professors at Jiangnan University would actually try to forcibly take what belongs to others?"

The teachers present all changed their expressions.

"Li Yi, you can eat anything, but you can't say anything!"

"Exactly, what do you mean by 'robbery'? Why use such a rude language!"

"Didn't Director Wang already say that our teachers have been working hard all day? What's wrong with them eating something from you?"

Li Yi's eyes grew cold.

"no."

He wasn't heartless; rather, he was well aware of the depravity in the hearts of the people before him.

Tired after a long day? That might fool other people.

Li Yi has excellent eyesight and can clearly see everyone's situation.

He knew perfectly well what these people had done.

The phrase "occupying a position without doing any work" aptly describes them.

They don't do much work, but they're always thinking about eating and drinking for free.

Seeing Li Yi's ruthlessness, Wang Guofu's face darkened completely.

"My friend, it's all fate that brings us together in this world."

"Those who detach themselves from the group are destined to not survive."

He tried to intimidate Li Yi by using the collective.

After all, in such a completely unfamiliar and unknown world, there is always the possibility of losing one's life at any time.

Only by sticking together and helping each other can we survive better.

Li Yi smiled.

Let's set aside whether Wang Guofu can represent this group.

He was wrong on just one point.

He threatened the wrong person.

He was threatening a superman who could withstand explosions with his bare body and cross thousands of miles of ocean depths.

Li Yi smiled happily.

This was the funniest joke he had heard in the past few days.

Of course, in the eyes of Wang Guofu and others, this was a complete mockery.

"snort!"

Wang Guofu snorted coldly and stormed off.

After the teachers left, Yin Ling timidly looked at Li Yi.

"Li Yi...isn't it a bad idea to argue with the teachers like this?"

Li Yi opened his palm.

"You saw it yourself, they wanted what I had, I just refused to give it to them."

Yin Ling said "oh" and didn't ask any more questions.

Li Yi tasted the grilled octopus tentacles.

The taste is very good.

There weren't many seasonings, but it still tasted like barbecue.

Octopus itself is also very chewy, with a rich texture.

Surprisingly, this stuff is actually quite delicious.

Li Yi stroked his chin, thinking of the anglerfish he had slammed when he first transmigrated.

Although it is a bit ugly.

But maybe it will taste good?

As for the threats from Director Wang and his group?

For Li Yi, the intimidation was comparable to that of a stray dog ​​on the roadside.

Class monitor Jiang Ying returned shortly afterward.

However, their expressions were not very good.

One of the girls was deathly pale, clearly terrified.

Li Yi didn't pay attention, but the news still reached his ears as if it had grown legs.

I heard that a girl lost her balance while paddling a raft and fell into the sea.

It seems to be a landlubber and can't swim, so it swallowed a lot of water.

At the critical moment, Jiang Ying and several other girls worked together to pull her out of the water, thus saving her from drowning.

Even though nothing is happening now, people are still easily frightened.

Although she was transferred to Jiang Ying's wooden boat and separated by the walls on both sides, it did nothing to alleviate the fear in her heart.

The other girls in the class gathered around to comfort her.

But there was nothing they could do.

The girl was very emotional, her face filled with despair.

"It's no use, we're all doomed!"

"It's all sea, all water, we'll drown in the sea sooner or later."

"I don't want to die... Someone please save me... I want to go home..."

Li Yi didn't pay attention to what happened next, only knowing that she seemed to have cried herself to sleep in her counselor's arms.

The slight collision caused the raft Li Yi was riding to tilt slightly.

Jiang Ying stepped over the wooden boat and plopped down next to Li Yi.

"Li Yi, do you think humanity still has a future?"

A few strands of hair, damp from the seawater, clung to her face, and a hint of uncertainty about the future flickered in her eyes.

"It should be."

Li Yi's choice of words is rather conservative.

Jiang Ying strained to look into the distance.

Even though she could only see a line of sea.

"Yuan Qi is a very outgoing and open person. We even went to sing karaoke together before we time-traveled."

"But she's going crazy now, driven mad by this world."

Li Yi silently said to himself.

It's also possible that the other person suffers from thalassophobia.

But it seems inappropriate to say these things at this time.

Therefore, he remained silent.

"Actually, I feel like I'm not much better than her."

"I'm terrified, extremely terrified."

"Sometimes when I look at this calm sea, I feel as if the seawater is blocking my throat and I can't breathe."

Li Yi thought.

Do you also have thalassophobia?

"Li Yi, do you believe in love at first sight?"

Li Yi could no longer remain silent.

He looked at the class monitor with a horrified expression.

Class monitor, didn't you change the subject a little too quickly?

Jiang Ying lowered her head somewhat embarrassed.

"I know it's strange to say this."

"But really... I don't know why, but whenever I'm by your side, I feel very safe and secure."

"Don't laugh at me... I've never been in a relationship before, so I don't understand what 'liking' means..."

Li Yi swallowed hard.

To be fair, Jiang Ying is indeed a beauty.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been unanimously elected as class monitor at the beginning of freshman year.

But these are not the main points.

At this moment, an astonishing idea surfaced in Li Yi's mind.

Could it be...?

The abilities that the class monitor actually gained were not limited to healing.

Do they still have sensory abilities?

How could she sense me when I was hiding it so well?

Li Yi hesitated, unsure how to respond.

Jiang Ying tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and smiled.

"Actually, I didn't have any other thoughts in saying these things."

"I'm just happy that I don't have to worry about when I'll die, but I don't even have someone I like."

"That would be too tragic for a beautiful girl like me!"

Li Yi hesitated for half a second.

"It's pretty good."

"By the way, do you want some grilled octopus? You can go there..."

Jiang Ying left in a hurry.

He was with some students from his class.

There were plenty of grilled octopus tentacles; there were more than enough to share with everyone.

I don't know if it's because it's too hot.

Jiang Ying's fair cheeks were flushed with an indelible blush.

Li Yi watched her retreating figure from afar, feeling his heart pounding.

The speed neither increased nor decreased.

If the class monitor's confession could be considered a declaration of love, he wasn't actually that moved.

The differences between people can sometimes be greater than the differences between a person and a dog.

He is a superman, destined to be a different kind of person from these ordinary people.
