Collapse, but Stand users

Aside from the enthusiasm of some female students, He Chengrui's teaching process was relatively smooth.

"That concludes this lesson. Have a wonderful holiday!"

"Hey~ We won't see the teacher this weekend."

"We'll see each other again next week. Also, please don't send messages to the teacher on Line during the holiday. Teachers need to rest too."

After saying that, He Chengrui went home after get off work.

'On my first vacation, I'll go out and see if there's a place with a high concentration of Honkai energy.'

'This is also a good opportunity to get to know Changkong City.'

'After all, we won't be able to see it anymore soon.'

On Saturday, He Chengrui drove aimlessly around the area.

The concentration of Honkai energy did not differ significantly in the areas it passed through.

The low efficiency made He Chengrui doubt the significance of his trip.

The highest concentration only increased by about 10%.

'Then I might as well cultivate a relationship with Mei and absorb her Herrscher core.'

Upon seeing the bakery by the roadside, He Chengrui stopped his car.

"Since we're already here, let's eat what we bought at home."

He Chengrui bought a hot dog bun and a fried noodle bun for lunch and walked out of the bakery.

I glanced to the side and saw a fluffy little thing lying on the glass, drooling over the bread.

He Chengrui remained silent for a moment, feeling that it was somewhat deliberate.

It seems that once you become a Stand user, you can't escape the vortex of fate.

"Hey, do you want one? I bought too many."

Kiana turned around, intending to refuse, but she was so hungry that she couldn't stand it anymore. Plus, He Chengrui's appearance gave her a good first impression, so Kiana took the bread and wolfed it down.

"Don't choke."

"Cough...cough cough, water...water."

"..."

Kiana choked as soon as he finished speaking. He Chengrui was speechless and went to the convenience store next to the bakery to buy Kiana a bottle of water.

"Glug glug, ha! It's alive again."

"Want some more? I have a hot dog bun here."

"Uh, this isn't really appropriate. Aren't you going to eat?"

He Chengrui shook his head.

"I didn't really want to eat it. I just wanted to buy it to try it out. Whether I eat it or not doesn't really matter."

"Is that so? Then I won't stand on ceremony. There are still more good people in the world."

Kiana sat on a bench by the roadside, eating a hot dog bun.

He Chengrui sat down next to her and stared blankly at the cars speeding by on the road.

"I'm done eating. Oh, by the way, kind person, I haven't asked your name yet. My name is Kiana Kaslana. What's your name?"

"He Chengrui".

"Oh, that's a good name. By the way, have you ever seen this person before?"

As she spoke, Kiana took out a stack of papers from her bag and handed one to He Chengrui.

The paper contained a portrait of Siegfried.

He Chengrui shook his head, indicating that he had never seen it before.

Kiana had anticipated the outcome and nodded.

"Oh, I see. This man is my dad. He's been missing for a long time. If you see him, please keep an eye out for him and tell him that his daughter is looking for him."

"Well, I will."

"See you again someday, kind person, thank you for the bread."

He Chengrui nodded, watching Kiana's figure disappear into the crowd.

'Like Mei, can she absorb the Honkai energy of a Herrscher's core within three meters?'

"This trip wasn't entirely meaningless."

He Chengrui got up and went back into the bakery.

He came out shortly afterward, holding a hot dog bun in his hand.

"Are the fried noodle breads selling out so fast? I haven't tried them yet."

……

"We're out of vegetables at home. I should have bought some on my way back."

"Then let's go out and buy some, teacher."

"Row."

The two then went out to buy ingredients for their evening meal.

As He Chengrui walked to the entrance of the convenience store, he saw that familiar white fluffy ball again.

"Mei, do you believe in fate?"

"Hey, why are you suddenly asking this kind of question?"

"nothing"

Kiana turned around, saw He Chengrui, and waved to him.

"What a coincidence, we meet again. You're so kind."

What are you doing squatting in front of the convenience store?

"Hehe, the convenience stores here always clear out their food that's about to expire. I'll try my luck and see if I can get some."

"Teacher, who is this?"

Mei looked at Kiana and asked He Chengrui with a puzzled expression.

"This is Kiana, she's looking for her father and is currently a homeless person."

"Ah, is that so?"

Upon hearing this, Mei looked at Kiana with a hint of pity and sympathy, and stepped forward to grab her hand.

"Miss Kiana, we're getting ready to make dinner. Would you like to come and eat with us?"

"Ah, this..."

He Chengrui didn't say anything and walked into the convenience store on his own.

Seeing He Chengrui leave, Mei, without waiting for Kiana's consent, took her hand and entered the convenience store together.

Kiana, too, succumbed to Mei's maternal instincts and agreed to go for a free meal.

……

"Wow, this is so delicious!"

"Eat slowly, Kiana, don't choke."

He Chengrui ate the meal that Mei had made today without offering any comments.

"Two power banks definitely make it much faster."
