But Lin Yi seemed to have thought of something, his body stiffened suddenly while changing clothes—"Zhao Lingxiao's actions happened in the layers, how did Liangzi observe it?!"

He suddenly looked at Wei Liang.

Wei Liang only then withdrew his gaze, turned his head, and felt a slight chill at the base of his spine. He shivered and met Lin Yi's eyes again, feeling dumbstruck under Lin Yi's gaze, quickly hugging himself secretly: "That look of yours, hiss... what are you trying to do?"

"Nothing..." Lin Yi knew that Wei Liang might be aware of much more than he realized, but considering Wei Liang's condition, he didn't continue on this topic and quickly changed the subject, saying out of the blue, "But Liangzi..."

"Mm-hmm?" Wei Liang mumbled.

"Be content." Lin Yi said, "At least it's Senior Sister Xia Lian who will be training you later. If Boss had assigned you a Little Zhouzi or something like that, you'd be back on the old path again, and then it wouldn't just be a headache."

"Tsk—" Hearing the words 'Little Zhouzi,' Wei Liang sat up straighter, slightly paranoid, "Damn, what 'old path'? I've been on a proper sunny path from the start, okay!"

"I'm ready." Lin Yi suddenly stood up, stuffed his backpack into the locker, leaving only his student ID card with its card holder worn on his left arm.

"What do you mean you're ready... damn, you really changed clothes fast!" Wei Liang widened his eyes, "Okay, okay, you go find Boss first. I'll come after I finish changing."

"Alright." Lin Yi didn't hesitate much, with time tight and tasks heavy, he just chatted with Wei Liang amid the clothes changing.

After changing into the gymnastics uniform, he glanced at the time and headed into the Gymnastics Hall.

It's now 14:58, almost 15:00, only half an hour left until the end of the PE class.

However, to Lin Yi, time didn't really matter anymore.

15:30 was just the time for others to finish class, but it didn't have much to do with him anymore.

Moreover, since he wasn't returning to the dormitory tonight, the schedule wasn't so tight. Even dinner could be considered after weighing the situation.

After all, he had already gotten the necessary supplies, and going to the cafeteria area in the late afternoon might cause some unforeseen trouble, and who knows if something might happen.

Lin Yi quickly headed to the Gymnastics Hall, but just as he was about to leave the changing room, a draft similar to the wind pipe effect brushed against his cheek. In a daze, he seemed to catch a familiar scent, but it disappeared in an instant, leaving him unable to recall the trace of that scent no matter how hard he tried.

He hesitated for a moment but didn't think much about it and quickly left the changing room.

After Lin Yi left, Wei Liang also quickly changed into his gymnastics uniform, but he didn't rush to catch up with Lin Yi. Instead, he looked towards the shower area on the other side of the changing room.

He furrowed his brows slightly and then headed towards the shower area.

The shower area was engulfed in white steam, immediately swallowing Wei Liang as he stepped in.

A moment later, the steam suddenly parted to both sides, and Wei Liang slowly walked out of the shower, just like Aguru emerging from the sea.

He adjusted his cap and headed towards the Gymnastics Hall, the corners of his gymnastics uniform slightly dirty.

...

X023 Year, 15:00, Gymnastics Hall.

As soon as he arrived at the Gymnastics Hall, Lin Yi spotted Boss and Li Huiyuan among the many sports students.

There was no helping it since all the sports students in the Gymnastics Hall would change into gymnastics uniforms, except Boss.

It seemed that all of Boss's uniforms were those slim-fit black yoga pants with blue stripes, only adding some other "accessories" depending on the occasion.

Beside Boss, naturally, was Li Huiyuan, engaged in some kind of flexibility training.

Just as Lin Yi's gaze fell on Li Huiyuan, she turned her head as if she had a telepathic connection.

"Lin Linzi!"

Upon seeing Lin Yi, Li Huiyuan immediately jumped up on the spot, calling out in surprise.

Of course, Boss had already noticed Lin Yi's arrival but didn't react much.

Seeing Li Huiyuan interrupt her training and bounce toward Lin Yi, she didn't stop her, merely watching quietly.

"Why are you only coming now? Did you encounter trouble on the way?" Li Huiyuan asked with concern, looking Lin Yi up and down, then couldn't help but move closer, her snub nose twitching twice, "Wow, you're getting more fragrant, and it doesn't smell like those other flirtatious smells..."

"It's really strange, I never heard of guys having fragrance..."

Li Huiyuan's eyes twinkled, muttering as if she were inspecting a human-shaped incense.

Lin Yi pushed Li Huiyuan back a bit, his hands on her shoulders, asking seriously, "I heard you got hurt, how are you feeling now?"

Upon hearing this, Li Huiyuan was stunned at first, a trace of joy appearing in her big, watery eyes, but then she seemed to think of something, and her gaze shifted evasively: "Ah... this, this... you, you knew too? I didn't actually leave the Gymnasium intentionally..."

She lowered her head, puffing her cheeks like a child who did something wrong.

"I actually don't know what happened, everyone just told me not to jump to conclusions and to ask you." Lin Yi said with concern, "Is there something you're worried about?"

Li Huiyuan bit her lip and remained silent.

At this point, Boss's voice came softly: "Just tell Lin Yi everything; after all, this matter is related to him too."

Lin Yi was taken aback upon hearing this: "It's related to me? What on earth is going on... Never mind, if you're not ready, tell me when you are. I'll go ask Boss first."

Although Lin Yi didn't know what kind of training Boss had planned for him today, he still wanted to ask about some things at the Gymnasium last night.

"Wait!" Li Huiyuan grabbed his hand, misunderstanding Lin Yi's intentions, thinking he was going to inquire about her situation directly from Boss, "Let me tell you first."

"I... I... actually, I seemed to have heard your voice last night, and that's why I left the Gymnasium..."

"My voice? This..." Lin Yi felt helpless, "So you were tricked out of the Gymnasium? I definitely wasn't in the Gymnasium area last night..."

Lin Yi was amused and exasperated, thinking how easy it was to deceive girls these days!

However, what Li Huiyuan said next made his expression suddenly turn grave.

Li Huiyuan pursed her lips: "But I can be sure it was your voice... because ever since we parted last time, I've been intermittently hearing your voice near my ears. Boss said it's because I have carried your ashes..."

"Wait, what do you mean by 'you carried my ashes'?" Lin Yi was shocked.

Li Huiyuan took a deep breath and then closed her eyes.

At this moment, a touch of strange brilliance flashed in Lin Yi's eyes. He could clearly perceive that a force was accumulating within Li Huiyuan, rotating like a reactor...

And the energy driving the "reactor" was exactly the "ashes."

The ashes within Li Huiyuan were more concentrated compared to the ash remnants drifting in areas above the 5th floor of the Teaching Building.

These ashes were different from the ashes he had been contaminated with, even purer than his own contamination.

Much purer.

"Are you saying... these are my ashes?" Lin Yi's face was perplexed, thinking that even if these were his ashes, they were not the same as hers!

Moreover, how were these transmitted to Li Huiyuan?

He couldn't figure it out.

The "reactor" within Li Huiyuan gradually dimmed, and she opened her eyes: "It's not what I'm saying; it's what Boss said."
