That person devoured half of Ji Fengyan’s rations in a single breath before gulping down two bagfuls of water. Thereafter, he leaned against a tree and belched in satisfaction.
“I am finally... revived.”
Ji Fengyan glanced at her half empty backpack before quietly packing up her things to continue her journey.
Seeing Ji Fengyan about to leave, that person anxiously said, “Hero!! Are you also a student about to enroll into the capital institute?”
Ji Fengyan paused and looked at that mud-caked figure, who looked like he just crawled out of a swamp. She nodded.
That person gave a brisk laugh, revealing big, white teeth against that dirt-black face.
Absolutely disgusting!
“Yes.” The corners of Ji Fengyan’s mouth twitched.
Spirits promptly revived, that person said, “What a coincidence! I am also a student of the capital institute! Hero, we are schoolmates!”
Ji Fengyan silently sized up that person’s appearance.
Noticing her scrutinizing gaze, that person also glanced down at his own dirty self. He cleared his throat awkwardly. “I had t with a little accident... hahaha...”
“Accident?”
“I got lost.” That person laughed.
Ji Fengyan was speechless. There was only one road leading to the capital institute. Apart from her trying to avoid the hot sun, the rest of the students generally chose to travel on the even mountain path.
She was curious—how in the world did this person manage to get himself lost.
“Lucky I t you, hero. But... are you also lost?” That person gazed at Ji Fengyan as if they were kindred spirits.
Ji Fengyan, “...”
“Don’t call ‘hero’, my na is Ji Fengyan.”
“Oh oh, Ji Fengyan is it? My na is Junze. I will be relying on your kindness from now on. Don’t worry, I have been going round and round this mountain for three to four days. I roughly know how to get out.” Junze crowed, still assuming that Ji Fengyan was lost just like him.
Ji Fengyan felt that she had better make a move first.
Seeing Ji Fengyan about to depart, Junze followed without another word. However, once on the road, he started chattering on incessantly.
Thanks to his constant yamring, Ji Fengyan more or less found out what happened to him.
Junze was a student of the school of pharmacy in the capital institute. He had just received notice of his acceptance a month ago and traveled to the institute to report in. However, he soon got lost while heading up the mountains. Not only did he stumble into the forest, he had accidentally fallen into a muddy bog. All the foodstuffs that he brought along with him had sunk deep into the bog. He had been starving for the past two days and was close to dying from starvation.
Ji Fengyan forged ahead in silence. She had always felt she was a talkative person by nature, but after eting Junze, she realized just how quiet she actually was.
Junze was truly a master at mindless babble. Despite Ji Fengyan not speaking a single word, he managed to continue jabbering by himself all day long. He jumped from topic to topic—from the mountain scenery to Bai Ze trotting along beside Ji Fengyan.
“I say, Fengyan. Did you bring along that little deer by your side?” Junze looked at Bai Ze, feeling an instant kinship to the animal just because of a similar character in their nas.
Ji Fengyan grunted.
Junze clicked his tongue. “You are indeed smart, knowing to bring food reserves up this mountain.”
Initially feeling rather chummy with Junze, Bai Ze imdiately pressed closer to Ji Fengyan’s leg upon hearing his words.
Ji Fengyan said, “This is my mount.”
“What?” Junze was amazed, a glimr of wondernt flashed across his eyes.
In the capital institute, only Terminators could bring mounts to school!
“You... are a Terminator?” In that instant, Junze’s tone changed.
