Fast Travel Absurdity Sutra

The two of them held hands intimately, smiling, and walked slowly towards the school gate in the gentle breeze.

Directly opposite the main entrance of the school, there is a long and narrow alley hidden quietly.

This alley is like a treasure trove carefully carved by time, with various snack stalls scattered around.

There is a stall selling sizzling grilled lamb skewers. The tender lamb chunks are skillfully skewered on bamboo skewers by the stall owner. Under the charcoal fire, they gradually turn golden and slightly charred, emitting an enticing aroma of cumin and lamb.

There is also the steaming hot pancake stall. The stall owner skillfully spreads the batter on a round iron plate, quickly beats an egg, and as the egg liquid is spread evenly, adds rich ingredients such as crispy breadcrumbs, lettuce, ham, etc., and brushes on a layer of sweet bean sauce and chili sauce. The aroma can be smelled from far away.

The stall selling octopus balls is also very popular. The round little balls are rolled in a special mold and sprinkled with bonito flakes and seaweed. As the heat rises, the bonito flakes seem to be dancing.

Then there’s the sugar-roasted chestnut stall, where the shiny, plump chestnuts are stir-fried with black sand and sugar, giving off a sweet aroma.

The overflowing fragrance is like a pair of invisible hands, enthusiastically calling every passerby.

As students of Peking University, they often choose to come to this alley full of fireworks in their spare time during their day-to-day study life, so that these delicious snacks can bring a different kind of carnival to their taste buds, thus quietly improving their usual monotonous meals.

Xin Tian and Jiang Daolan are no exception.

Professor Tu stood quietly outside the classroom, looking calm and composed, and directed the students in an orderly manner to properly handle those unfinished matters.

The boys around were standing scattered around, in groups of three or two.

Professor Tu Hongchang drove them all away like driving away chickens, and his attitude was quite decisive.

Afterwards, he warned the students in a serious tone that they were absolutely not allowed to talk about what happened today. His solemn expression repeatedly emphasized the seriousness of the matter.

Deep down, he really didn't want to see any posts about today's incident on the school forum where information was frequently circulated, as that might cause a series of unnecessary troubles.

In fact, the students were all a little afraid of Professor Tu from the bottom of their hearts. After all, his prestige and serious image had long been deeply rooted in people's hearts.

Since Professor Tu said it so seriously, everyone also promised that they would never speak carelessly in the school forum. Their serious expressions were like they were making a silent oath.

Xin Tian nodded slightly towards Professor Tu, and the moment their eyes met, there seemed to be some kind of tacit understanding.

She knew in her heart that it would be better for her to disappear from the sight of her classmates as quickly as possible, so as to avoid some potential problems.

Professor Tu also understood her thoughts, so he waved his hand gently, signaling her to leave this place of trouble quickly.

Then, Professor Tu turned to direct several strong boys to carefully lift Liu Yuanyuan up and hurried towards the school clinic.

Under the arrangement and command of Professor Tu, the many students at the scene were quickly evacuated, and the scene, which was a little noisy just now, suddenly became orderly.

Jiang Daolan held Xin Tian's hand tightly and walked along the road.

Along the way, she was like a cheerful little bird, chirping incessantly and telling Xin Tian every bit of her past. Those experiences, whether interesting or sad, were like an open scroll, slowly unfolding in front of Xin Tian.

In Jiang Daolan's heart, Xin Tian at this moment was as kind and important as her reborn parents.

She secretly vowed that no matter what happened in the future, she would put Xin Tian first and she would be willing to be second.

Xin Tian listened patiently. She had just experienced a thrilling and fierce battle, and now she needed some relaxing time to soothe her tense nerves.

Jiang Daolan continued, then suddenly changed the subject, saying, "Actually, I've always liked him. Our families are a good match, and my parents joked about arranging a marriage for us since we were little. I was like a little tail, following him around all the time growing up. I used to think he would be my childhood sweetheart, the one who would accompany me until old age."

Hearing this, Xin Tian's expression gradually became solemn.

Judging from Jiang Daolan's words, the person she was talking about should be the mastermind behind this plot to frame her.

Jiang Daolan looked up at the sky again, his eyes revealing endless emptiness, and murmured:

"Actually, I really don't understand why he has to kill me."

"That's because his family and yours have always had a close business partnership. However, now, his family has encountered an extremely serious economic crisis and has reached a critical moment of life and death. In this situation, only with strong assistance from your family can his family successfully overcome this crisis."

Xin Tian explained patiently.

Jiang Daolan tilted his head slightly and looked at Xin Tian without blinking, his eyes full of confusion and puzzlement.

She was actually very resistant in her heart and really didn't want to believe what Xin Tian said.

“But…but…”

Jiang Daolan kept muttering to himself, racking his brains but couldn't figure out what to say in rebuttal.

Xin Tian continued:

"Think carefully, he's clearly changed his mind. If he calls off the engagement, will your family continue to cooperate with his? Then, these cooperative businesses will be terminated. Your family has already made concessions in these partnerships. Your family doesn't make much money, and they're just trying to bridge the gap between you and him. His parents must understand the stakes involved. Will they agree to his breaking off the engagement? Only when you're gone will your family be unable to terminate their cooperation with his. Then, he can bring up his new love without any scruples."

Xin Tian walked slowly while carefully analyzing the reasons with Jiang Daolan.

She had already deduced Jiang Daolan's situation clearly in her mind.

Jiang Daolan's face turned even paler. Everything that happened today was too exciting for her.

Her world changed drastically in an instant, and the heavy blow was almost unbearable for her.

She now really wants to find a friend to vent all the pain and depression in her heart.

When Jiang Daolan thought about her parents worrying about her again, she felt a strong sense of guilt.
