After my soul traveled to ancient times, I don't want to be cannon fodder

Xu Yongzhang's face was flushed with anger at this time.

He knelt there for such a long time, but what he got in return was not preferential treatment for him alone, but an opportunity for all poor students.

If this is the case, then what is the point of his kneeling request?

Li Yuan standing by was even more excited, and immediately said that he wanted to go back and think about it carefully so that he could submit the manuscript tomorrow and strive for an opportunity to become a disciple in the mansion!

In this era, famous teachers are always highly respected.

Any student who wants to take the imperial examination and become an official will not miss the opportunity to learn from a famous teacher!

Xu Yongzhang would certainly not miss this opportunity.

As the male lead, his talent is naturally not to be underestimated!

If he were to become a disciple of Mr. Wu again, wouldn't all her previous actions be in vain?

How can such a selfish, self-centered bastard be the male lead?

Zhong Ning's eyes flickered, looking extremely sinister under the shadow of his bangs.

I saw Xu Yongzhang standing up and heading towards Fengcheng Academy.

Zhong Ning restrained his breath, lowered his head, took light steps, and followed behind him silently!

She was about two meters away from the person in front of her. When Xu Yongzhang turned into the alley, it was her chance to take action.

Although she is a weakling, she has tools.

When the electric baton comes out, who can compete with it?

Definitely a good helper for sneak attacks!

But before she could do anything, a hand suddenly reached out and grabbed her and pressed her against the wall.

Zhong Ning raised her eyes and saw the young man she met fighting a wild boar alone in the mountains that day.

The boy stared into her eyes with a cold gaze. After a long moment, he asked in a hoarse voice, "Why didn't you come?"

Zhong Ning: ???

Are you crazy?

Zhong Ning didn't want to waste time talking to him. Xu Yongzhang was about to leave. If she didn't take action, his fate would return to the starting point.

If such a rubbish male protagonist is allowed to take the position, how can it be justified that the original body has been oppressed for so many years, and how can it be justified that she has to bear the consequences?

Zhong Ning struggled to push him away, but the boy held her tighter.

"No, are you sick? I don't know you, why are you hugging me?"

Zhong Ning was certain that she was now dressed as a man and the other party would not recognize her, so she insisted that they did not know each other.

What she was about to do was too dangerous, and she couldn't let irrelevant people get involved.

The boy's eyes were slightly red, and there seemed to be infinite grievance in his eyes. He stared at Zhong Ning innocently like an abandoned wolfdog.

Zhong Ning felt a little guilty when he stared at her, and tried to excuse himself: "I really have something to do, can you let me go first?"

"You haven't answered me yet. Why didn't you come? Where did you go?" The young man held Zhong Ning tightly, not letting her leave.

Zhong Ning was so angry that he was shaking all over, but he could do nothing.

The difference in strength between women and men is still too great. In just a few moments, Xu Yongzhang would have run away.

Straight men misled me!

Zhong Ning glared at him fiercely.

The young man felt even more aggrieved, and coaxed in a low, hoarse voice, "I know what you want to do. I'll help you. Don't ignore me!"

After saying that, a handsome face moved closer.

Zhong Ning could almost see the small hairs on his lips, which were thin and soft, making people want to poke them.

The boy's skin was a healthy wheat color, his thin lips were slightly pursed, his eyes were bright, and there seemed to be infinite affection in his eyes, as if he wanted to suck people in.

Zhong Ning turned his face away somewhat unnaturally.

"Let me go first. It's really inappropriate for two grown men to hug each other. How embarrassing would it be if someone saw it?"

"Then don't run!"

"Well, I'm not running!"

The young man seemed to have received some kind of assurance, and then he loosened his grip slightly.

It's just a slight loosening.

His defensive posture was obvious, obviously preventing Zhong Ning from suddenly running away.

Zhong Ning rolled her eyes speechlessly. Whose guy is this and why is he suddenly sticking to her?

"How did you recognize me?" Zhong Ning saw his expression and realized that he had recognized her. Her voice immediately relaxed and was no longer deliberately rough.

"Size, and..." The boy's ears turned red, "Taste!"

"There seems to be a smell of ginger on your hair..."

Zhong Ning: …

Failed.

Her shampoo and conditioner all contain ginger.

Although the smell is not strong, you can still smell it if you are close to it.

She would never dare to use ginger shampoo again, as it would expose her whereabouts.

Wash directly with clean water.

I don't believe he can still smell it.

"What do you want from me?" Zhong Ning asked.

"Why didn't you come? I've been waiting for you for a long time..."

"Didn't I tell you to leave by yourself? I won't be going back..." Zhong Ning was worried that someone would hear him, so he lowered his voice and replied.

"They were planning to sell me to raise money for Xu Yongzhang's studies. If I didn't run away, I would be sold off!"

As soon as Zhong Ning finished speaking, he felt the temperature on the other side suddenly drop.

A pair of handsome eyes and eyebrows were filled with a coldness. "You said they were going to sell you out?"

Zhong Ning nodded, as if thinking of something, and then continued: "Oh, right, I want to ask you something. Do you know if there was anyone who was adopted by a widow fourteen years ago?"

The young man raised his eyebrows, "Why do you ask this?"

"Just tell me if you know?"

The young man nodded, "I know, his name is Shen Yan, and he lives in a small courtyard at the foot of the mountain!"

"So, do you know him? What's he like? Oh, by the way, is his adoptive mother still around?"

"No more!"

"Oh!" Zhong Ning pondered for a moment and still felt that it was necessary to meet with Shen Yan.

"Can you help me find him? Be sure to ask him to come to the county quietly. I have something important to tell him!"

"What are you going to say to him?"

"I know you are very curious. How about this, when Shen Yan comes, I will tell you together, so that we won't waste time! You help me, and I will treat you to a meal later!" Zhong Ning made promises to the young man seriously!

"When?" the boy asked seriously.

"what?"

"when can we have our meal?"

Zhong Ning was blocked and almost couldn't breathe. Really, she rarely met such a direct person.

"Whenever you bring Shen Yan here, I'll treat you to a meal!"

"Let's go!" The young man took Zhong Ning's hand and was about to walk out. "Where do you live now? Can we go to your house for dinner?"

Zhong Ning: ???

Young man, are you too anxious?

The work hasn't been done yet, and you want to eat?

"No, did you hear what I just said? I want to find Shen Yan!" Zhong Ning grabbed his arm and refused to move forward.

"Yes," the boy turned around and looked at her with a gentle look on his face, "I am!"

Zhong Ning Xiaoran widened her eyes!

The sunlight was a little dazzling, casting a faint glow on the boy's delicate eyebrows and eyes.

Zhong Ning was a little confused and still a little unsure.

She paused, and was about to speak when she heard the clear and pleasant voice of a young man from the other side:

"Let me formally introduce myself. My name is Shen Yan!"
