At one moment, Li Tongyun felt as if she had returned to the family building on Xingshu Road, and nothing had changed.
Just then, I heard snoring beside me.
Qingchen turned his head and saw that Jinguji Maki, who was leaning against her master, was already asleep.
...
...
Countdown 160:00:00.
The first morning after the return.
After a night's rest, Sun Chuci and the others' fatigue had completely disappeared.
After getting up, he didn't even eat breakfast before taking Tuanzi and running to the Agricultural College.
On the way, they overheard people discussing the academy's upcoming new product launch, which seemed to have already spread throughout the academy.
All the students planned to make the most of their time to accumulate points so that they wouldn't run out of points to buy new products when they came out.
Overnight, a castle was added to the war fortress, completely sealing off the entire Agricultural Academy.
Furthermore, iris recognition access control systems have been installed at the entrances...
Sun Chuci tentatively knocked on the door, and the small door quickly opened, pulling them both inside.
With a bang, the small door slammed shut again.
Inside the war castle, everyone else was already there, busy picking the new buds of the Jingshan tea.
It has to be said that this is the product with the highest yield in the Agricultural College.
Today's vegetable garden is a far cry from its former simplicity; it even has an intelligent irrigation system installed.
There were two stoves next to it, with two large iron pots on top of them.
"What are you trying to do, Dean?" Sun Chuci asked curiously.
"Fry the tea," Qingchen said. "Go and get the new buds they picked, then fry the tea. From now on, frying the tea will be the responsibility of the two of you. Remember one key point: during the frying process, the aroma of the tea will be released nine times. You can't miss even one, otherwise, drinking it will make you vomit and have diarrhea. Also, this tea must be boiled in boiling water for 15 minutes, otherwise it will also be poisonous."
This was something Shadow had specifically instructed them to do. The delicate nature of the Camellia of the Realm is even more exaggerated than that of the Purple Orchid Star. It seems that this plant has evolved into a highly poisonous substance in order to protect itself.
We must follow the procedures; otherwise, it could result in fatalities.
Sun Chuci and Tuanzi looked at each other, then picked up a bamboo basket of new sprouts that Nangong Yuanyu had brought, and poured them into two pots to stir-fry continuously.
Qingchen glanced at the two of them and said, "Don't burn it! If you burn it, this tea will be yours, you hear me?"
The six students in the Agricultural College looked at each other in bewilderment. This dean had once again transformed into a wealthy landlord.
Someone asked, "Dean, where is Professor Zard?"
Qing Chen said, "Well... he has some things to take care of, so he might need to take two days off."
After all, Huan Yu will probably keep an eye on Zard to prevent him from running around...
But just then, there was a knock on the door outside the academy, and Zard shouted in a loud voice, "Dean, open the door!"
Qingchen walked over and opened the door with a puzzled look in his eyes. As soon as the door opened, Zard bent down and pulled someone inside.
When Qingchen saw the pale-faced young man in the academy, he was completely stunned.
Zard chuckled and said, "Dean, this is Huan Yu. I brought him to the academy to help out today."
Qing Chen was completely stunned, and the lightning within his body surged continuously, threatening to strike at any moment.
Last night, Huan Yu knocked on the door and called Zard away. Qing Chen thought that the Agricultural Academy would no longer have any specially appointed tutors...
As a result, Zard pulled a stunt and brought Huanyu to the Agricultural Academy to help.
As expected of you!
But then Zard chuckled and said, "Dean, just let him stay here. Let him do whatever he wants. Xiaoyu, call him Dean."
Huan Yu said obediently, "Hello, Dean!"
Qing Chen: "???"
What the hell is this?!
Was Huan Yu given fake alcohol by Zard?!
The next moment, Zard smiled at Huanyu and said, "Go have some fun~"
At this moment, Huan Yu happily went to the side to get a bamboo basket, and then followed suit to pick the new buds of the Jing Mountain tea with Nangong Yuanyu and the others.
For some reason, Qingchen felt that Huan Yu was genuinely happy!
"What's going on?" He sensed something was wrong, and his guard gradually relaxed. "Zard, is he Huan Yu?"
“Yes, that’s Huan Yu, boss. I’ve brought him to you… Ah, but he can only come to help out occasionally,” Zard explained.
Qing Chen asked, "His current actions are completely different from the Huan Yu I know. Why is that?"
Zard paused for a moment: "This is my younger brother. We used to share a hospital room when we were little. He witnessed his parents being murdered by criminals, which traumatized him and left him forever stuck at the age of six."
Qing Chen fell silent. He hadn't expected that his little brother Xiao Yu had such an experience.
No wonder the other person's tone and expression seemed exceptionally naive and innocent when they spoke just now.
He pondered, "Are these Huan Yu's twins? Could it be that both of Huan Yu's twins have come to the Agricultural Academy?"
No, no!
He kept comparing them in his memories.
Her voice is exactly the same as last night!
Schizophrenia?!
He suddenly looked at Huan Yu's busy figure, and it seemed that explaining her current situation as schizophrenia would be more appropriate.
Zard said, "The older and younger brothers are in the same body. The older brother is a person from the other world who just merged into the world after transmigrating."
Qingchen was stunned for a long time.
Zard suddenly said, "I really envy him. Actually, I also want to have a younger brother. I went to my doctor to ask if I could have a younger brother, but he told me to talk to my parents and that it wouldn't do any good. But my parents are no longer here. Where can I talk to them?"
Qing Chen: "..."
This is a really heavy story. It turns out that Huanyu and Zard are both orphans and fellow patients in the same mental hospital.
"Wait, what illness did Huanyu have that led to her hospitalization?" Qingchen asked.
“Schizophrenia,” Zard retorted. “Isn’t that schizophrenic enough?”
Qing Chen shook his head. It wasn't a matter of not being split enough, but rather, according to Zard, Huan Yu was hospitalized at the age of 6 due to schizophrenia, and more than 20 years later, she merged with the soul of someone from the other world... So there should be three personalities in this body.
He looked at Huan Yu's back and saw that she was learning how to pick new buds from Nangong Yuanyu. After learning, she even took the initiative to help Ma Jingjing dig tree pits.
I was incredibly happy.
He recalled that Huan Yu had said, "My brother is coming back," so he figured that these personalities sharing one body must be getting along quite well.
While the tea was being stir-fried, Huanyu watched from the two large pots.
It was Sun Chuci and Tuanzi's first time cooking, and because they were not familiar with it, they couldn't control the heat and made frequent mistakes.
The tea did develop its aroma after being roasted nine times, making it perfectly drinkable, but the tea leaves were all burnt to a golden brown, resulting in a very poor appearance…
Sun Chuci and Tuanzi stood obediently to the side like children who had done something wrong, waiting for Qing Chen to scold them.
Qingchen glanced at it and sighed, "If it's burnt, it's burnt. Pack the tea leaves into jars. This amount is enough for each of you to fill a jar. Take them back and drink them every day!"
To Sun Chuci and Tuanzi, this tone seemed to mean: Drink the tea leaves you burned yourselves, and teach me a lesson.
So they lowered their heads in even greater shame.
At this moment, Xiaoyu asked curiously, "Brother Dean, can I try making tea?"
Qingchen glanced at him.
Who would have thought that the chosen one, Huan Yu, would one day come to make tea for him...?
He thought for a moment and explained, "Xiaoyu, just focus on picking the new shoots. This isn't fun."
Zard pleaded, "Dean, let him have some fun."
Thinking of Huan Yu's background and experiences, Qing Chen sighed and said, "Then let him play. Don't give him too much tea. Just let him play around."
He returned to his recliner, closed his eyes to rest, and began to accumulate his own thunderous energy.
But a short while later, he heard cheers from not far away.
When Qingchen opened his eyes, he was shocked to see Huanyu holding two huge woks with her bare hands and stirring them over and over on two stoves.
"Pfft!" Qing Chen exclaimed in surprise.
Huan Yu's bare-handed strength is almost at the peak of A-level. He can easily and skillfully toss two large pots weighing over a hundred pounds in his hands.
This is a power that none of the other disciples of the Qing clan possessed.
Nangong Yuanyu and the others never expected that the person who had just been calling them brother and sister so affectionately was actually a monster with superhuman strength.
Everyone was relieved that they hadn't lost their temper earlier; judging by that power, it could probably knock their heads out with a single slap!
Moreover, Qingchen discovered that Huanyu had an exceptional grasp of the heat; during the tossing process, all the tea leaves were heated evenly and to the perfect degree.
Where can I go to reason with this?
Yesterday, the two of them were avoiding each other, afraid of a conflict breaking out.
As a result, Zard arranged for us to go together today.
Qingchen hadn't expected this outcome.
I bet even the other Illusionary Feather wouldn't have expected this...
When school ended in the evening, Qingchen looked at Xiaoyu kindly and said with a smile, "Come play again next time."
Xiaoyu followed behind Zard, nodding excitedly: "Yes, definitely! This place is so much fun, and all the older brothers and sisters are so nice! The headmaster is so kind too!"
After saying that, he and Zard walked towards the dormitory.
Zard whispered, "Don't write this to your brother, just don't mention anything about the Agricultural College."
"Hmm? Can't I mention it?" Xiaoyu was a little disappointed. He had a lot of fun today and had originally wanted to share it with his brother, but he was very obedient: "Okay, I won't mention it."
