Chapter 87 Nana, I'm Back
At this very moment, at the Spirit Hall Academy, morning classes had just ended, and Hu Liena hurriedly returned to her dormitory after lunch. She seemed somewhat downcast, and her steps were slower than usual. Inside the dormitory, sunlight streamed through the window, casting dappled shadows on the floor. Hu Liena sat on the edge of her bed, unconsciously fiddling with her blue necklace.
The necklace, named "Ice and Ice Love," was a gift from Yuhao. Yuhao told her it was a powerful defensive soul tool, strong enough to withstand attacks from a Soul King. Whenever Hu Liena touched the necklace, a warm feeling would well up inside her, as if Yuhao were right beside her.
During this time, Hu Liena never took off the Ice-Cold Love necklace even once. This wasn't just because she cherished this soul tool, but more importantly, because the necklace still retained Yu Hao's aura. Whenever she slept, Hu Liena would keep the necklace tightly pressed against her chest.
Huo Yuhao was gone for more than half a year, and for Hu Liena, this time felt like an eternity. She would stare blankly in the direction of the Wuhun City gate almost every day, her heart filled with longing and worry for Yuhao.
She wondered where Yuhao was now, and whether he was eating and resting on time. The outside world was far less prosperous than Wuhun City. Would Yuhao become thin because he couldn't get used to the food outside? These thoughts pierced her heart like needles.
Hu Liena lay in bed, her eyelids heavy. After a morning of theory classes, she felt tired, and sleepiness began to creep over her. Lying in bed, she kept murmuring Huo Yuhao's name.
She recalled the time she spent with Yuhao, as if it were just yesterday. Every little gesture and every word Yuhao uttered was deeply etched in her memory.
Just then, a series of hurried, heavy footsteps sounded at the dormitory entrance. The door slowly opened with a slight creak. Hearing the door open, Hu Liena was awakened from her dream. Her brow furrowed slightly, a hint of displeasure rising within her. Who was so bold as to trespass into her dormitory? Didn't they know her temper?
Hu Liena sat up quickly in bed, her face full of displeasure. She opened her eyes, about to demand an explanation, but then she saw the figure that haunted her dreams. Her heart skipped a beat, as if time had frozen. Hu Liena covered her mouth, her body trembling slightly, as if she couldn't believe her eyes: "Yuhao, Yuhao, is it really you? You're back?"
Huo Yuhao smiled and slowly walked to the bedside. He slowly opened his arms and said, "It's me, Nana, I'm back."
Huo Yuhao felt a fragrant breeze waft towards him, and then Hu Liena's soft body crashed into his arms. It was as if she wanted to release all the longing and waiting of the past six months. Huo Yuhao held her tightly, feeling the warmth and trembling of her body.
Large tears soaked Huo Yuhao's chest. Hu Liena raised her small fist and repeatedly pounded Huo Yuhao's back, as if venting all her grievances and dissatisfaction. Her voice was choked with sobs, full of grievance and reproach: "Why, why did you take so long to come back? Do you know how much I missed you? I thought, I thought you didn't want me anymore!"
As Hu Liena spoke, tears fell like pearls from a broken string. Her eyes were red, and the moment she saw Huo Yuhao, all the grievances she had held for the past six months seemed to find an outlet, and all her tears flowed out at once.
Huo Yuhao gently stroked her hair: "I'm sorry, Nana, I'm late. I had a lot of things to take care of, but I've been thinking about you the whole time, I've never forgotten you, and I promise I'll never be away for so long again..."
However, before Huo Yuhao could finish speaking, Hu Liena suddenly acted. Her eyes flickered with complex emotions, a mixture of longing and grievance. She forcefully pressed Huo Yuhao onto the bed, her rosy lips pressing directly against his, as if trying to convey all her dissatisfaction and longing to him through this kiss.
pinned down by Hu Liena, Huo Yuhao dared not resist, afraid of hurting her, and could only let Hu Liena vent her anger. Although her actions were intense, Huo Yuhao could feel the vulnerability and dependence in her heart. After a long time, Hu Liena finally stopped crying and got off Huo Yuhao. Her face was still streaked with tears, but her eyes had become calmer.
It has to be said, this little fox is really mischievous. In just a short while, the entire bed has been messed up, the bedding is in disarray, and the pillow has fallen to the floor. Huo Yuhao's lip was also bitten by her, and red blood seeped out, which made him smile wryly, thinking that this girl is as willful as ever.
Seeing that she had bitten Huo Yuhao's lip, Hu Liena felt a tremor in her heart, a hint of heartache and regret flashing in her eyes. Filled with guilt, she nestled gently in Huo Yuhao's arms and softly asked, "Does it hurt?" Hu Liena's voice trembled slightly, as if she was worried that Huo Yuhao would be angry.
Huo Yuhao touched the strands of hair at Hu Liena's temple: "It's alright, Senior Sister, it'll be fine in a bit."
Hu Liena gently leaned closer and licked the wound on Huo Yuhao's mouth with her tongue. Her movements were gentle and careful, as if she were afraid of hurting him again. A jolt of electricity surged through Huo Yuhao's heart, and his heart raced, but reason told him that he couldn't continue.
If this girl continues to act recklessly, something is bound to happen at noon today. He gently turned his head away and smiled as he said to her, "Alright, senior sister, stop fooling around."
"What's wrong, Yuhao? It's only been a few months, and you're already starting to dislike your senior sister?" Hu Liena blinked her eyes, her face full of grievance, and tears welled up in her eyes again.
Huo Yuhao gently pinched Hu Liena's nose and held her hands to stop her from touching things. "Alright, senior sister, if you keep making a fuss, you won't be able to attend your afternoon classes."
"Hmph, fine, I don't care. You have to stay with me this afternoon!" Hu Liena pouted, her eyes fixed on Huo Yuhao.
"Okay, okay, I promise you. This afternoon, I'll follow you wherever you go."
Hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Hu Liena finally smiled, pulled the blanket over herself and Huo Yuhao, and clung to him like a koala, her long legs tightly wrapped around his waist: "Hehe, then take a nap with me first, and when I wake up, you'll come with me to class."
Huo Yuhao closed his eyes helplessly. That was all he could do. He was used to it anyway. He was used to Hu Liena's willfulness, her dependence, and her every little tantrum. After all, the little fox just liked to stick to him, but His Holiness the Pope was even more excessive, always dressing him in strange clothes.
The midday nap always flies by. Huo Yuhao felt like he hadn't slept for very long when Hu Liena dragged him out of bed and rushed out of the dormitory.
"Oh dear, I overslept! There are only two minutes left, and I'm going to be late!" Hu Liena pouted in annoyance. Sleeping with Yuhao today was so comfortable that she accidentally overslept.
"There's no need to rush. Being a minute or two late is fine. I remember the rules at the Spirit Hall Academy aren't that strict; it's an open education system."
"You don't know, our new teacher has a really bad temper, is incredibly stubborn, and seems a bit off. She's made a whole bunch of ridiculous rules for our class, and I absolutely hate her. Plus, it's so embarrassing for a disciple of the Spirit Hall Pope to be late, you know?" Hu Liena complained as she moved quickly.
"What kind of mess of rules? What rules?"
Huo Yuhao asked with a face full of curiosity.
"When that teacher came, he also brought a student with a very strange appearance. His name was something like Ode Wumuwei, and he often harassed the girls in the class."
"Furthermore, that teacher also said that this Ode Emuwell is new here and doesn't know anything, yet he insists that several girls in the class eat with him every day. I heard that he also wants to apply to the school every year for a subsidy of three thousand gold soul coins per month for him, supposedly as an international student subsidy?"
Huo Yuhao frowned, clearly not expecting such a thing to happen.
"Since you hate that Teacher Fan so much, why don't you tell the teacher to get rid of Teacher Fan?"
"Oh dear, teachers are so busy every day! They have to deal with all sorts of matters, big and small, at the Papal Palace. How could they possibly have time to attend to the affairs of a teacher at the Spirit Hall Academy? But since you're here, why don't you take care of this matter?"
"Okay, but I'll have to observe her for a while longer. If she's really as annoying as you say, then I'll deal with it."
After Huo Yuhao finished speaking, he swiftly scooped her into his arms. Amid Hu Liena's gasp, Huo Yuhao spread his wings and streaked across the sky like a shooting star, carrying her rapidly toward the classroom.
