The door was opened and the room was closed.

Until the knock on the door, Bailian was still sleeping.

"Dong, Dong."

Bailian opened his eyes immediately, then walked to the door and opened it.

The person outside the door was An Lan, who said to Bailian: "Are you asleep? I sent you a message for so long but you haven't replied."

"Yeah." Bailian nodded, "Are we going to gather for dinner?"

He didn't eat anything on the flying boat at noon, and he was a little hungry now.

"It's a banquet. The students who participated in the selection and the teachers who led the team will all attend."

"I don't want to go."

"It's okay if you don't go." An Lan said with a playful look, "But there will be no dinner."

"...What do you mean."

"It means that if you want to eat, you have to go downstairs."

Bailian: "..."

Just go home and cook for yourself.

Seeing Bailian's speechless expression, An Lan smiled and said, "How many people are eager to see something, but now it's your turn to dislike it."

"It's not that annoying, at least the food won't disappoint you. When I led the team for the first time, I was also tired of this kind of banquet, but later I didn't hate it anymore after eating something."

Food... This is a bit attractive to him.

However, Bailian couldn't help but complain: "Before the national selection, they still held such a banquet. I'm really worried about the future of this country."

An Lan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "It's not that serious."

Bailian smiled and turned back to the room: "I'll wash my face first."

After a while, Bailian walked out of the door again.

An Lan looked at Bailian's gray sweater, which was no different from his usual outfit, and hesitated for a moment and said:

"You don't need to change... Forget it, you really don't need to."

"Indeed, I'm handsome enough. If I dress up again, the world will be dangerous."

"...I mean with your strength." An Lan paused, then reacted, and his tone was a little funny.

"Why didn't I realize that you have such a shameless side before."

The banquet held by the hotel was very large, covering three different floors.

In fact, An Lan had already sent relevant information about the banquet in the group, but Bailian hadn't read it yet. He just followed An Lan to one of the locations.

"I'll go find my old friend. You can do things on your own." An Lan patted Bailian's shoulder and said.

"Since you're here, just enjoy it. You don't have to be so cold all the time. It's better to make some friends. It will be good for the future."

"Okay, I know." Bailian nodded, but what he wanted in his heart was to eat something and come back early to rest and adjust his state.

After An Lan left, Bailian glanced at the situation in the banquet.

There were exquisite delicacies and snacks everywhere, as well as exquisite fruit plates and famous wines, and many slim waitresses and handsome male wine waiters.

The main students who attended the banquet were basically dressed in formal clothes.

Especially the young girls, they were dressed coolly, most of them showed their white and tender shoulders, and some of the brave ones even showed their long white legs.

The air conditioner was turned on so high, I don't know if it was cold or not.

But there were a few people who were dressed casually, but most of them sat quietly in the middle of the venue, surrounded by many people, and it looked quite lively.

Most people gathered in the center of the banquet, and the quietness of the edge area was just what Bailian wanted.

He held a plate and quietly swept the delicacies in the edge area.

He tried a few bites of each dish, many of which he had never seen before.

To be honest, the food was really delicious.

No wonder Teacher An said that, this banquet still has some meaning in it.

The chefs in the kitchen worked hard.

At the edge, there was a big table and a big sofa surrounded on three sides. Bailian sat here alone, leisurely browsing his mobile phone and eating some snacks that had just been brought over from time to time.

After a while, a girl, also holding a plate of snacks, slowly walked over.

The girl was not wearing a dress like the others, but just simple daily clothes. The fine and soft black hair was scattered behind her waist, her eyebrows were picturesque, and her face was white and flawless.

But the most eye-catching thing was the girl's elegant and extraordinary temperament.

She glanced at Bailian with her clear and pure eyes, and then she quietly withdrew her gaze.

She put the plate on the table,

Sitting quietly on the sofa next to him.

Bailian also noticed the girl's arrival, looked at her and then looked away.

Not long after, another tall figure came over.

"I thought you wouldn't come."

Hearing this familiar voice, Bailian looked up and saw that the person was still wearing the green combat uniform. It was Fan Jing.

Fan Jing sat down beside him without waiting for Bailian's response.

Bailian glanced at him and said, "We have to eat."

"That's right." Fan Jing replied.

After that, the atmosphere here became quiet again. Bailian and the girl not far away were eating snacks from time to time, and only Fan Jing was sitting silently.

After a while, Fan Jing slowly spoke: "... Bailian, what do you think of this selection?"

"What do you mean?"

"My favorite school or goal."

"Imperial Capital University, there is no better choice."

"...So, are there any opponents you value?"

"I don't know." Bailian told the truth.

"I don't know?" Fan Jing was stunned, then turned to look at Bailian, and his calm expression made him feel that the other party didn't seem to be talking nonsense.

"You don't... even know about the other people who participated in the selection?"

"I don't know much."

"Teacher An didn't tell you... Yes, it should be because you didn't ask, and then he thought you knew." Fan Jing said with a strange look.

"...With your personalities, it is possible that something like this will happen."

Fan Jing then sighed softly: "You don't really feel any pressure at all, do you?"

Bailian simply replied: "It's all the same."

Hearing this, the girl not far away glanced at Bailian quietly, and then lowered her eyes again.

The answer that sounded a bit out of place made Fan Jing's pupils shrink slightly.

Bailian had said the same thing to him, and he also understood the meaning of Bailian's words.

Fan Jing's mind instantly emerged, the situation when the two fought that day, and the pair of strange scarlet eyes that had been lingering in his mind these days.

After losing to Bailian in that way, this incident was about to become his nightmare.

"No matter what kind of genius you are, you will become a mortal in front of these eyes", Bailian's plain words seemed to still linger in his ears.

Fan Jing even felt a sense of tension in his heart.

He secretly clenched his fists and forced himself to abandon this emotion.

He was filled with a sense of urgency.

If this continued, it would be difficult for him to fight Bailian, and he might even be afraid before the battle.

He had to take advantage of this opportunity to make a breakthrough in the battle with Bailian.

At least he had to get rid of that feeling of powerlessness.
