Chapter 1968: Moving to a New Home!
Chapter 1968: Moving to a New Home!
Su Chen naturally knew he would have to talk about this sooner or later, but it was truly so hard to bring up!
He decided to wait a few days and find a suitable opportunity to speak!
Even though he knew he should be using all this time for cultivation!
Yet, out of guilt, he still spent most of the next few days with all the girls!
...
By this time, the expansion of the academy was essentially complete, and the Shenfeng Academy sign was already hanging above the front gate!
It’s worth mentioning that Su Chen personally inscribed this sign!
Originally, he wanted to decline, thinking Li Changting should write it as he was the first dean of the new academy!
However, Li Changting himself and several elders insisted he inscribe it, so under their enthusiastic encouragement, he had no choice but to agree!
Just unlike the inscriptions, which he could carve perfectly, his calligraphy was somewhat lacking, even a bit crooked!
Li Changting and the elders felt a bit embarrassed seeing the inscription because they believed Su Chen could excel in everything, yet this writing...
There was no other choice, since it was already inscribed, it had to be hung; otherwise, where would Su Chen’s face be!
But none of them would have expected then that, in the future, these large characters would bring them such honor!
Actually, not only the gate; he also inscribed the name of the special two-entry courtyard for Su Chen, which sounds lovely, called "Qingyou Pavilion"!
But truly, the characters were not commendable!
On this day, Su Chen brought all the girls, including He Qishan, there, because soon their original dormitory would be demolished, and other students had already moved to the new dormitory!
Actually, Jiang Shiqi and others were fine, but Du Hanbing, Tang Yun, and Luo Xiwen got emotional!
Because seeing this courtyard, it was like seeing their previous manor, which carried their most beautiful memories!
"Su Chen, will we live here in the future?"
Nie Qianqian asked.
"Of course, this will be our home in the future!"
Su Chen smiled.
"The place is nice, but the characters are truly hideous!"
Jin Muxi looked at Su Chen and giggled.
As soon as the words fell, all the girls couldn’t help but laugh, including He Qishan.
They already knew the characters were written by Su Chen, and Jin Muxi was deliberately teasing him!
"Alright, alright, let’s go inside and take a look!"
Su Chen blushed and said.
Actually, his handwriting isn’t too bad, but as a plaque, it falls short!
Afterward, they walked inside, where the environment was completely different from the manor!
Many flowers and plants were transplanted here, the path paved with slate, and the center courtyard arranged with a very elegant pavilion, a table, and several wooden chairs!
The entire environment looked very fresh and elegant, pleasing to the heart!
All the girls were very satisfied, and Su Chen immediately fell in love with the place!
"You all stay here and watch; I’ll take Qishan over there for a bit."
Su Chen said with a smile.
Moments later, the two arrived at a small courtyard next to Qingyou Pavilion; though it wasn’t as large, it was enough for a dozen people!
"Su Chen, never mind! It feels off living alone here; I’d better stay in Shinjuku District!"
At this moment, He Qishan thought and finally said.
"Qishan, here’s the thing, you know I have several friends missing, including some men, and when we find them, they too will live here!"
Su Chen explained and smiled:
"So, the courtyard isn’t just for you alone, you’re simply living here temporarily!"
Upon hearing this, He Qishan understood; if there were other men living here, it would be no problem, so he didn’t decline.
"I thought you only had women around you, never expected there were men too!"
He Qishan suddenly laughed.
"Come on, aren’t you a man!"
Su Chen retorted with a grumble:
"By the way, as we’re moving houses today, come over for dinner tonight!"
"Well..., alright!"
He Qishan hesitated and nodded, as today was considered a celebratory occasion, and not going would seem off!
Actually, Su Chen invited him not only for the celebratory occasion but to use this opportunity to inform all the girls about the upcoming Grand Test!
No matter what, this matter couldn’t be avoided; whether sooner or later, it had to be mentioned!
After checking out the place, everyone started the big move!
Su Chen and He Qishan, being men, kept it simple, with only a few items!
But the girls were different; Su Chen was surprised they managed to gather so many things while living at the academy!
This explains why every time they go shopping, they are laden with packages!
This wasn’t enough; the girls temporarily tidied up a bit before heading to the streets to buy more items!
In their words, since this would be home, naturally they wanted to live comfortably and warmly!
Two or three hours later, the girls returned and even brought Lan Xinyi along!
Since it was moving to a new home, how could she be absent?!
Moreover, in a few days, she would also be moving in!
...
By evening, some girls continued tidying up, while others started preparing dinner!
Su Chen, temporarily free, went to cultivate for a bit!
Once dinner was ready, Su Chen called He Qishan over, and everyone gathered around the table to eat!
Amidst clinking glasses and lively chatter!
After a few rounds of drinks, Su Chen put down his cup, smiling lightly at everyone:
"Since everyone is here today, I have something to announce."
Upon hearing this, everyone curiously looked at Su Chen; what could he have to announce?!
"Are you planning to leave for something?"
Tang Yun’s heart trembled, blurting out.
The other girls, hearing this, also thought of it and felt a bit uneasy!
Su Chen heard Tang Yun’s guess and couldn’t help but smile bitterly while nodding:
"Soon, I need to leave for a bit to handle some matters!"
"Do you have to go?"
Luo Xiwen asked.
She and Su Chen had just confirmed their relationship not long ago, naturally reluctant for him to leave at this time!
"Yes, I have to go!"
Su Chen’s face was rarely stern:
"Because it concerns my teacher’s safety!"
Upon hearing these words, everyone fell silent!
For Jiang Shiqi and the others, it was the first time hearing Su Chen mention his teacher; they couldn’t help but be curious, wondering what kind of teacher could produce someone so exceptional!
But since it concerned his teacher’s safety, and Su Chen was someone deeply sentimental and righteous, there was no reason for him not to go!
As for Du Hanbing and the other girls, they understood even more the status Su Chen’s teacher held in his heart!
Though they had never met his teacher, they had heard Lin Ruoxue mention it previously, knowing the deep and special bond between them!
