A Time-Traveling Mishap: I Became an Ancient Nobleman

Chapter 21 The Academy's Most Outstanding Student

After entering the room, Zhou Hanzhang ignored everything and lay down on the bed.

She soon drifted off to sleep.

It wasn't until evening that her door was knocked on again.

She opened the door in a daze and saw her cousin, Li Xianda, standing outside.

At this moment, Li Xianda was covered in sweat and pulled her towards the dining hall in the center of the academy.

Fortunately, Zhou Hanzhang was asleep fully clothed; otherwise, how could he possibly face anyone now?

She was being pulled along by Li Xianda like a puppet, and she even thought that if she were a little lighter, he would probably lift her up into the air.

Li Xianda's current speed makes it impossible to tell that he is a fat man.

It wasn't until Li Xianda helped her queue up and finally got dinner, and they sat down at a table, that he breathed a sigh of relief and said to her, "Didn't I give you a schedule? It's already mealtime. If I hadn't come looking for you, you probably wouldn't have even been able to eat dinner."

Zhou Hanzhang experienced the feeling of being carried away, and it took him a long time to recover.

"...Cousin, you've brought me all this way just to have a meal?"

"Otherwise what? How can you have the energy to go to school if you don't eat your fill?"

“...That makes a lot of sense.” Zhou Hanzhang had no way to refute it.

“That makes sense, so hurry up and use it. Once you’ve used it, I’ll send you back,” Li Xianda said.

One of Li Xianda's strengths is that he eats quietly, and if there's anything important, he'll talk about it after he finishes eating.

Moreover, even if he finishes eating while you are still eating, he won't nag you; he'll wait until you've finished before making any decisions.

Zhou Hanzhang was very satisfied with this advantage.

After she finished eating, Li Xianda pulled out a clean handkerchief from somewhere and handed it to her, saying, "Here, wipe your mouth."

Zhou Hanzhang naturally took it, wiped it, and then handed it back to him.

Li Xianda didn't care at all, and directly used the handkerchief that his cousin had used to wipe his mouth to wipe his own oily hands and mouth.

After wiping it, I put it back in my pocket.

Zhou Hanzhang was used to it. Li Xianda had taken good care of her since she was a child. When she was little, he even treated her like a younger sister and would call her Jiaojiao whenever he saw her.

It took many scoldings from his aunt before he finally changed his ways. Although he called him "cousin," he always liked to add the words "peerless genius."

One day, the words "peerless genius" were heard by others and spread far and wide.

The key point is that people think that with her looks she truly deserves the title of "peerless genius," so when people talk about peerless geniuses, she is the first person they think of.

Even so, Lee Hyun-da continued to take care of her as always, treating her like a younger sister.

I wonder how he will react when he finds out he is actually a woman.

It's kind of funny to think about it.

"What are you laughing at?" Li Xianda looked at his cousin with a headache.

Do you know where you live right now?

"Where?"

Li Xianda's eyes widened. "You don't know?"

"You didn't mention that on the map..."

Li Xianda tapped his head. "I forgot. I thought none of us would go there, so I didn't mark it."

Then he looked at her with pity, "The place you live in is one of the four most eccentric dormitories in the college."

"...Actually, I've already guessed it. I've met three people today, and if nothing unexpected happens, the last one will be Jiang Yichen."

"You've already met three people?" Li Xianda asked, somewhat alarmed.

Zhou Hanzhang said frankly, "Yes, for the time being, I think it's still bearable. The other two are fine, it's just that Gu Qingfeng is a bit domineering."

"With the Empress and the General's family backing them up, they're not afraid of anything. Isn't it normal for them to be domineering?"

"That's true."

"Anyway, just don't mess with him. He's a little tyrant."

"Why would I provoke him for no reason? It's fine as long as he doesn't provoke me."

Li Xianda found this strange. "You two had a conflict?"

Zhou Hanzhang shook his head. "It wasn't really a conflict. He just asked me to get him water while he was taking a shower, and I refused."

Li Xianda: ...

You call this not a conflict?

What was his reaction?

"He didn't react much, and he didn't do anything to me. He's quite reasonable, but I don't like it when he calls me a noob."

Li Xianda was utterly speechless. "In his eyes, we're all just weaklings, okay? Don't let his thin appearance fool you, he's someone who can take on ten men in the army."

Zhou Hanzhang thought of the Greek statue-like body he had seen that afternoon, "He... wasn't actually that thin."

"He hit you?"

Li Xianda was startled and quickly pulled his cousin up to check if he was injured.

Otherwise, how would my cousin know that others weren't considered thin?

In his mind, only martial arts competitions could reveal a person's physical abilities.

He has the most experience in this.

Zhou Hanzhang helplessly pulled his hand away. "Cousin, how did you come to the conclusion that he hit me? Why would he hit me for no reason?"

"You didn't bring him water, but given his personality, he doesn't need a reason to hit someone."

Zhou Hanzhang had no choice but to spin around in front of him twice and jump a few times, saying, "Look, I'm perfectly fine."

Seeing that she seemed to be alright, Li Xianda felt relieved and then asked, "What about the other two?"

"After Chen Moran brought me back to the dormitory, he went into his room and did nothing. He hasn't come out since."

Li Xianda breathed a sigh of relief, but Zhou Hanzhang's next words startled him so much that he stood up abruptly.

"As for Shen Moli, he developed a new drug that he said could improve health, and he even wanted to give it to me."

"What?!!!"

Zhou Hanzhang felt that his cousin had shouted those two words with the force of a screaming chicken.

All the students eating nearby turned to look.

Noticing the stares around him, Li Xianda quickly sat back down and asked nervously, "You haven't eaten, have you?"

"I'm not stupid, of course I didn't eat it."

"That's good, that's good. You scared me to death." Li Xianda said, still shaken.

"But he doesn't seem like what my cousin described; he seems quite easy to get along with."

Li Xianda looked at Zhou Hanzhang with disbelief and said, "That's all just appearances. Don't believe it. Those people are all black-hearted."

Zhou Hanzhang suddenly remembered something, "Cousin, when you came looking for me earlier, didn't you see the three of them?"

"No, I knocked on your door as soon as I got there, and I didn't see anyone else."

"What about the room next door?"

"Your next room?" Li Xianda thought for a moment. "Nobody's there? Apart from your room, all the other rooms have their doors open, and nobody's inside."

Zhou Hanzhang was taken aback. She clearly hadn't seen anyone else leave before she went to sleep. Where had they gone?

But it doesn't matter. When she was at the academy, the best way for everyone to get along was to not interfere with each other.

Seeing that Zhou Hanzhang had finished her meal, Li Xianda did not stay in the dining hall any longer and took her out.
