Extraordinary Realm from Persuasion System

As a student at Shi University, Chen Rourou had naturally heard of its legendary grove. She knew this was where Shi University had supposedly piloted its response to the "have more children" campaign. But until now, Chen Rourou hadn't witnessed it firsthand. Since she had never been in a relationship, she naturally hadn't had the chance to experience it. She had thought she would never uncover the secrets of Shi University's grove in her lifetime. Yet today, driven by her competitive spirit, she had come here only to witness such an explosive scene! Zhang Beixing and Sophia Zhou's real-life role-play! Goodness, could this be any more thrilling!

"Oh dear, what's going on? Why has everything suddenly gone dark? I can't see a thing?"

"I'm blind! What's happening? No, no, this won't do, I have to go!"

"Uncle Zhang, Sophia, you two carry on. I didn't see anything, I swear!"

Once she recovered her wits, Chen Rourou realized Zhang Beixing had already spotted her and was glaring fiercely. She hastened to protest exaggeratedly, covering her eyes with her hands, yet the gaps between her fingers were wide enough to fit an egg through.

Her large Kazilan-brand eyes frantically scanned Zhang Beixing and Sophia Zhou, brimming with curiosity.

Seeing her act this way, Zhang Beixing knew exactly what this mischievous girl was thinking. However, considering Sophia Zhou wasn't in good condition, he needed to focus on her.

So, Zhang Beixing didn't dwell on Chen Rourou's behavior and simply explained, "Don't get the wrong idea. Nothing happened between us!"

"Oohh~ so *nothing* happened, eh?~~~"

Chen Rourou dragged out the sound, her delicate face full of teasing.

Her words clearly had a double meaning.

Watching her, Zhang Beixing felt himself getting hard. His fists, that is! Rock hard!

"Chen Rourou! You're really pushing it, aren't you? Just because I haven't dealt with you for a few days, you think the sky has cleared, the rain has stopped, and you can do whatever you want again?"

"What kind of dirty thoughts are you filling your head with?"

"I don't have time for you right now because there's something more important. Don't force me to deal with you first, GRR!"

Saying this, Zhang Beixing raised his hand, his threatening gesture unmistakable, and his expression turned fierce.

Seeing this, the previously smug Chen Rourou shivered and realized she had indeed gotten a bit too cocky.

She immediately shrank back and said earnestly, "I'm sorry, I was wrong. I truly apologize. I was just joking earlier."

"Enough nonsense, come and help!"

"Sophia Zhou nearly drowned! In my panic, I only managed to give her artificial respiration. I'm not sure if there are other issues. Hurry and give me a hand! We need to get her to the school infirmary for a doctor to check if anything else is wrong!"

At this point, Sophia Zhou, past her initial stress reaction, was quite weak and had no strength left.

"Okay, okay, coming!"

Responding at once, Chen Rourou hurried over to support the pale and weak Sophia Zhou, helping her onto Zhang Beixing's back so he could carry her.

"Wait a moment... um, Sophia's clothes... her buttons aren't..."

Chen Rourou trailed off. Zhang Beixing glanced over. "Oh, I thought that was her back. Well, turn her over then."

After Chen Rourou properly adjusted Sophia Zhou's clothing, Zhang Beixing bounced lightly a couple of times to make sure he wouldn't drop her.

Zhang Beixing then carried her on his back, jogging towards the school infirmary.

The nurse on duty in the school infirmary was a middle-aged woman in her thirties. She paused in surprise when Zhang Beixing came in carrying Sophia Zhou.

After Zhang Beixing explained that Sophia Zhou had nearly drowned, the nurse immediately began to examine her.

The results were quite good. Thanks to Zhang Beixing's timely and professional rescue, Sophia Zhou hadn't suffered any serious harm from the drowning. She just needed to rest well for the day, and she would basically be back to normal, no serious issues.

Hearing this, Zhang Beixing breathed a deep sigh of relief.

He turned to look at Sophia Zhou and saw her blushing, her head lowered as she tidied the clothes Zhang Beixing had disheveled during CPR.

Although Chen Rourou had buttoned them up earlier, her clothes were still messy.

Seeing this, Zhang Beixing scratched his head, feeling a slight twinge of embarrassment.

But the embarrassment came and went quickly. After all, he'd done it to save her life, not for any other reason. Reassured by this thought, Zhang Beixing's confidence returned.

He cleared his throat, about to say something. But just as he was about to speak, he saw Sophia Zhou dart away like a startled rabbit and quickly start a conversation with Chen Rourou, who was beside her.

Seeing this, Zhang Beixing understood that Sophia Zhou was shy and avoiding him, so he didn't press the matter. He just said, "See you tomorrow," then stood up and left.

After leaving the school infirmary, Zhang Beixing checked his phone. He realized that after all the turmoil, it was already nearly nine o'clock.

It was getting late, so he decided against going to practice Hidden Force by driving stakes underwater that night.

Something like that couldn't be achieved overnight.

He had only begun to get a feel for Hidden Force that afternoon.

How could he possibly master it by nightfall?

This skill was very difficult to master. Moreover, to practice Hidden Force, Zhang Beixing had spent nearly the entire day soaking in water.
