The male protagonist's fiancée.

These six words were like some forbidden words. Once triggered, Shen Yimian's head would rumble.

He immediately became alert and looked at himself.

Very good, it was wrapped tightly and properly, not conspicuous at all, and did not steal Xie Lu's limelight.

Su Yuning didn't notice Shen Yimian, and stared at Xie Lu, "The mission is completed."

Their tones were familiar, and Shen Yimian thought that the childhood sweethearts who had been engaged since childhood must be very familiar to her. Su Yunning was indeed the heroine.

Xie Lu lowered his eyelashes, as if he had no intention of continuing the conversation with her. "We finished it yesterday. Please make way. My brother and I need to go in."

After he finished speaking, Shen Yimian couldn't help but let out a "tsk".

This damn machine, what kind of emotional intelligence does it have? This kind of attitude towards the heroine

He said that AI cannot replace humans, at least it cannot fall in love with humans.

Su Yunning didn't care. She slightly moved aside to make way for him, her eyes still fixed on Xie Lu. "I have something to tell you. Come to Xianyue Peak tonight to find me."

Xie Lu frowned slightly, "It depends. I'm a bit busy. I need to write study notes tonight..."

Before he finished speaking, Shen Yimian covered his mouth and said, "He's free, he'll definitely go tonight!"

Su Yuning's expression relaxed a little, and a smile appeared on her pure and innocent face. "Remember, I'll wait for you."

After saying that, she turned and left.

"What kind of crappy reading notes do you have to write today?" Shen Yimian looked at him with dismay and scolded him, "You have to take this opportunity to quickly advance the progress between you two, understand?"

Xie Lu lowered his eyes and looked at him, explaining seriously, "These are not crappy reading notes, but notes from Nietzsche's Thus Spoke Zarathustra. They help me explore existentialism."

Shen Yimian: "..."

Xie Lu: "Didn't you understand? You should read more books."

Shen Yimian: "Get lost."

It is absolutely impossible for Xie Lu, a human-machine, to have a good relationship. He has to find a way to help Xie Lu as a reward for the things Xie Lu gave him.

"I'll go with you tonight, do you hear me?" Shen Yimian glared at him and tapped his heart with her fingertips. "Teacher will teach you how to advance your relationship."

Xie Lu realized that he seemed to have misunderstood something. He was about to explain, but then he felt it was unnecessary.

Anyway, it won't affect the development of the plot.

Su Yuning does like him and is one of the female supporting characters, but he is now more concerned about how to give all his magic weapons and opportunities to Shen Yimian.

Shen Yimian gave the thousand-year-old locust flower honey to someone else yesterday, so he had to find another magic weapon.

This time, I have to warn him clearly that no one can give it to him.

The two of them sat down in the main hall, sitting next to each other by the window.

There are very few Heavenly Rank disciples, so both Heavenly Rank and Earthly Rank disciples attend classes in the same place.

The lecturer walked in, and Shen Yimian sat up respectfully, preparing to study in a serious manner.

But when he looked at the Heavenly Rank disciples in the front row, apart from Xie Lu, no one was listening to the class seriously. Those geniuses were either sleeping, playing, or chatting and laughing.

The elder continued to lecture as if he saw nothing, and only the earth-level disciples listened attentively.

The early bird catches the worm. Shen Yimian still cherishes this opportunity to make progress. He listened carefully for a while, half a quarter of an hour, and then fell asleep.

Xie Lu was resting his chin on his hand and writing something casually when he suddenly heard a long breathing sound. He turned his head to look at Shen Yimian who was sleeping soundly on the table beside him.

The boy's soft and white cheeks looked very nice to the touch, and his eyelashes were long and thick, as if two small palm-leaf fans were gently covering his face, casting a warm shadow. Compared to when he was awake, he was less arrogant and handsome, and more well-behaved and cute.

He looked at her quietly for a while, then reached out and poked her soft cheek.

Well, the feel is just as I imagined.

Humans are fragile creatures, but within this fragility lies a unique beauty of resilience. Just like a delicate flower, which is easily broken but remains incredibly beautiful when in full bloom.

Xie Lu withdrew his hand and continued writing for a while. After a while, he reached out and poked the cheek again.

"You're not done yet, is it fun?"

Xie Lu was silent for a moment, then withdrew his hand. "A little bit."

Soft and bouncy, he likes this interesting touch.

"Write your crappy notes and don't bother me while I sleep."

"oh."

Shen Yimian slept the whole day, and he never realized that he slept so much.

Every time the elder opened his mouth to give a lecture, he felt as if he was hypnotized, and his eyelids were drooping.

It was almost dusk when the two men came out of Qinghong Palace.

Shen Yimian stretched tiredly. He was too tired to sleep and didn't know if he could fall asleep tonight.

Seeing Xie Lu about to ride the crane back to Zuo Lingfeng, he grabbed him and asked, "Where are you going?"

Xie Lu: "Go back and read."

Shen Yimian slapped him lightly, "What are you reading? Go to Xianyue Peak."

Xie Lu had no choice but to come to Xianyue Peak with Shen Yimian. The little boy led them to the disciples' dormitory. Shen Yimian clearly felt that the disciples were looking at them more and more strangely this time, but he couldn't tell what was strange.

"Have you heard that both of Zuo Lingfeng and his fellow apprentice are attracted to Zuo Yan?"

"Shh! Stop talking nonsense! If Zuo Yan knew you were talking behind my back, he would probably break your legs."

"I won't say anymore..."

Shen Yimian naturally didn't hear these words. He stopped in front of Zuo Yan's door, looked at Xie Lu, and carefully instructed, "When you go to see Su Yunning later, you must talk to her nicely and say some sweet words, understand?"

Xie Lu lowered his eyes to look at him and said honestly, "I won't tell you."

"..." Shen Yimian touched his chin, thought for a moment, and began to teach on the spot, "I'll teach you. Just say, Junior Sister Yun Ning, I missed you the whole time during class today. Now that I can finally see you, do you want me to learn it? Repeat it for you."

Xie Lu was silent for a while, "I'm a little speechless."

"Tsk." Shen Yimian changed her tone and continued, "Then you can say that you look really good tonight, and the clothes suit you very well. What is the smell on you? It smells so good, like a flower. Then bend down and smell her hair."

Xie Lu: "What should I do if I have dandruff?"

Shen Yimian's mouth twitched, "Brother, this is a cultivation text, which cultivator would have dandruff?"

After saying that, he reached out and picked up a strand of Xie Lu's black hair, "Learn from this."

Shen Yimian sniffed lightly and his expression suddenly froze.

It actually smells really good, like some refreshing and precious perfume, just like the morning dew in Hsinchu after the rain, with a scent that can quickly calm people down.

He loosened the strand of hair somewhat uncomfortably and asked, "Have you learned it?"

Xie Lu nodded slightly, and imitated Shen Yimian, reaching out to lift a strand of Shen Yimian's hair, lowering his head slightly to smell it.

He had a keen sense of smell and didn't smell anything, but he did smell the scent of the peaches that Shen Yimian had secretly eaten during class.

Sweet.

Shen Yimian looked at him with satisfaction, as if he was looking at his outstanding student.

Suddenly, the door behind me creaked open.

He turned around in surprise and met Zuo Yan's slightly cold eyes.

Shen Yimian quickly pulled her hair back from Xie Lu's hand and pushed him away. "Go quickly. I'll wait for you here with Junior Brother Zuo."

Xie Lu glanced at Zuo Yan, without explaining, and just turned and left.

After he left, Shen Yimian coughed awkwardly and said, "I was just joking with him."

Zuo Yan stared at him with an ambiguous expression. After a moment, he stepped aside and said, "Come in."

Shen Yimian didn't hear the displeasure in his tone. She walked in and the door behind her slammed shut.

"Brother, you and Junior Brother Xie seem to be very close."

Shen Yimian blushed, thinking he had misunderstood her, "Don't think too much, I really don't like men. He and I are just from the same school, so I took care of him a little more."

Zuo Yan calmly sat down and whispered, "Senior Brother said before that Junior Brother Xie is your type."

Shen Yimian himself almost forgot what he said, but he seemed to have said this casually to Zuo Yan on the day of the apprenticeship ceremony.

"I admire it, but appreciation does not mean liking it." Shen Yimian said vaguely.

Zuo Yan chuckled coldly and didn't pursue the matter any further.

Shen Yimian asked with concern, "How is your injury? Can you get out of bed?"

"Well, thanks to the things my senior brother gave me, my injury healed quickly."

Hearing this, Shen Yimian felt relieved and said, "It's just a piece of cake. Besides, your injury was caused by our Zuo Lingfeng."

Zuo Yan pursed his lips. He didn't like Shen Yimian's polite attitude. His eyes fell on the strand of hair that Xie Lu had touched. After a pause, he reached out and gently brushed the black hair.

Shen Yimian was stunned and didn't react.

"Brother, you guessed right that day."

Zuo Yan looked at him with burning eyes.

"I like you."

Shen Yimian suddenly jumped up from his seat, feeling a familiar sensation of someone staring at his butt. He often had this feeling, and it was not the first time.

Zuo Yan took in his reaction and frowned, "Is being liked by me such a scary thing for you?"

Shen Yimian was in a state of confusion and didn't know how to answer for a moment. She just evaded the question and said, "I remember I said I don't like men just now."

Of course Zuo Yan remembered.

He laughed bitterly at himself and said softly, "I don't mean to ask for a response from my senior brother. It's just that life in Yanshan is too hard and too difficult to endure. Expressing this feeling is like finding a place to rest my heart."

His fingers inadvertently brushed the hair on his neck, revealing a hideous scar that looked extremely cruel on the snow-white collarbone.

Shen Yimian's breathing stopped.

After a long while, he said with a bit of regret, "I will come to accompany you often. Now that I have reached the Earth Rank, with me here, Ji Wenxiao won't dare to bully you again."

Zuo Yan responded softly, his eyelashes trembling slightly. He looked at Shen Yimian cautiously and whispered, "Brother, can you hug me?"

Shen Yimian's head exploded again with a bang.
