Returning to the academy without any obstacles, Bai Quexin and Passionfruit seemed to have some matters to attend to, so Lin went back to the villa by himself.
Upon hearing that Lin had returned, Dream Source and Xing Shifang hurried back to the villa. Fatty and Lu Liang, however, could not come as they were still in class; they were quite busy but managed to video call to check in.
Exhausted, Lin arrived at his room, took a hot shower, and then settled into the sofa with a long sigh of relief.
The soft sofa seemed to envelop him, making him feel as if he were floating on clouds, in a dreamlike state. This was the warmth of home, infinitely better than the days spent wandering in the wild.
Sitting on the sofa lost in thought, he enjoyed the tranquility that felt like a distant memory.
Knock! Knock!
The urgent knocking interrupted Lin's moment of peace. He lifted his head, stretched lazily, and opened the door.
Before he could see who it was, the person leaped into his arms, a faint scent of cream wafting into his nose. Without needing to look, he already knew who it was.
Although Lin had not been gone for long, for Dream Source, every moment felt like an eternity of waiting.
The brief separation had quieted both their hearts significantly; more importantly, it made them realize how much they meant to each other.
Even though it wasn't a life-and-death parting, for them in love, this kind of trial was even more painful than any farewell.
The feeling was like a cat's paw scratching at the heart; the longing and missing weighed heavily on her so much that the moment she opened her eyes, she instinctively searched for Lin, hoping he would be there smiling at her from beside the bed.
Days of yearning turned into deep sorrow at their reunion. Dream Source leaned against Lin's chest and couldn't help but cry, unsure if it was an outpouring of emotions or tears of joy.
Feeling her cry in his arms, Lin became somewhat flustered. He held her shoulders tightly and asked anxiously, "What's wrong? Did someone bully you?"
After a moment of silence with no response from her, he sensed Dream Source shaking her head.
"No one bullied me. I'm just very happy... so happy that I cried..."
Holding Dream Source's tear-streaked face, Lin wiped away her tears and gently smiled, "Silly, how long have we really been apart?"
"A long time. It feels longer than the time I spent sleeping in the universe!"
Lin shook his head with a smile, helplessly ruffling Dream Source's hair.
This separation had also dissolved the unexplainable tension between them. Indeed, sometimes silence is the best solution, and at this moment, their feelings seemed to have subtly changed.
"Everything's fine now. I'm back, aren't I?"
Looking at Dream Source, Lin couldn't help but smile. After all, he was just a young man in love, still inexperienced when it came to emotions.
Dream Source lifted her head and stared into Lin's eyes. Suddenly leaning forward, her lips pressed against his.
Huh?
This unexpected attack caused Lin's brain to momentarily shut down. His mind went blank, with only one thought racing through: so soft?
The longing they had built up over time finally erupted in this passionate kiss.
...
"Cough! Cough! Cough!"
At that moment, a loud coughing sound from outside interrupted their intimacy.
Lin and Dream Source quickly pulled away, instinctively looking towards the door to see a thin, hunched old man walking past.
"Classmates, remember to close the door next time you're being lovey-dovey; there are still others around."
The old man seemed to come from nowhere, his words dripping with disdain. He shook his head and muttered about "the decline of society" before walking away.
Suddenly, the two felt quite awkward. Lin scratched his head, while Dream Source was so shy that she almost buried her face in her chest.
Fortunately, at that moment, Xing Shifang rushed in from outside in a flurry. Being straightforward, he didn’t notice the strange atmosphere between Lin and Mengyuan and immediately hugged Lin, exclaiming, "Bro! I missed you so much! You finally came back!"
"Brother, brother, don't be so excited; let me catch my breath!"
Xing Shifang's immense strength made Lin feel a bit suffocated; it was indeed a bear hug.
"Oh! I’ve been practicing my strength training. Sorry, bro, I didn’t control my power well!"
Quickly releasing his arms, Xing Shifang scratched his head and explained.
With this commotion, Dream Source also stopped feeling awkward and covered her mouth as she chuckled.
"Alright, you two hurry up and come in; let's sit down!"
Lin let the two enter the room and remembered to close the door. He recalled the "warm reminder" from that skinny old man about closing the door.
Once they sat down, Xing Shifang opened up the conversation, asking all sorts of questions about Lin's situation during this time. After listening to Lin's updates, he began sharing changes happening at school.
What he casually mentioned surprised Lin; many things had occurred at the academy while he was away.
First of all, the Culinary Arts Department had started classes. Recently, they had recruited three Ninth-Level Chefs to teach.
Originally, this course was set up just for Lin, but since he wasn’t at school, other students benefited from it instead.
Many students signed up for a minor in Culinary Arts just because of the reputation of the Ninth-Level Chefs. Now, the Culinary Arts Department at Fourth Academy was the most popular department in the entire school.
Not only were students eager to take classes, but it seemed those three chefs also enjoyed showcasing their skills in the school cafeteria. The quality of student meals skyrocketed.
The ordinary second-tier cafeteria suddenly became extremely popular; every dinner time, students lined up in droves, hoping that the three chefs would come and show off their culinary skills spontaneously.
Next, the matter of the Martial Arts Teacher was also settled. Lin Wanwan did not expect that their Special Class's Martial Arts Teacher would actually be the bearded Bai Quexin!
There was some background to this, which Xing Shifang explained to him.
"So, Teacher Bai was actually expelled by the First Academy because too many students died during the Summer Training Program, leading to his dismissal?"
Lin frowned tightly; he had heard that several teachers had been punished.
"That's right. Every teacher connected to that incident faced punishment. It was Teacher Bai who took on most of the blame himself. He was solely responsible and ended up being expelled by the First Academy!"
Xing Shifang sincerely admired Bai Quexin for shouldering the blame and gave a thumbs up.
"However, our principal is quite righteous. At that time, Teacher Bai was stripped of his teaching qualifications by the Trainee higher-ups during a meeting, but our principal fought hard to keep him. I heard it cost a lot!"
At this point, Xing Shifang lowered his voice and muttered, "The Baixiang Teacher is valued not because of Teacher Bai but because of you. The principal knows you have a good relationship with Teacher Bai, which is why he protected him..."
Upon hearing this explanation, Lin Ye felt relieved. He shook his head and smiled, "This Fat Old Man finally did something that makes me happy."
Lin knew that with just this act of saving Teacher Bai, he could never leave the Fourth Academy now.
His roots were firmly planted in the Fourth Academy.
