In the Seventy-two Domains of the Nine Realms, Tang Rao dared not trust anyone. Even those who were closest to him, he kept a heavy guard up.

Because he was very aware, in that bloody and brutal environment, there truly was nobody who could be fully trusted.

Even he himself had committed treacherous acts.

But here it was different; after being here for such a long time, Tang Rao discovered that most people here were trustworthy.

They had their own codes of conduct, their own dignity and character, brave in love and hatred, with open hearts.

Especially in the university, people like Zhou Boxiong and Yan Wei, and those before him, they were exceptionally trusting towards him, without any guard up.

Although it had been a thousand years since Chen Tuanbu laid down the Space Barrier, times change, but the intrinsic nature of a nation or a race could not change. Perhaps, initially, Chen Tuan foresaw this, which is why he put so much effort into preserving this place for a thousand years.

Even if a closed world might become disconnected, too much had been preserved.

"Tang Rao, why are you spacing out?" Yun Xi moved closer to Tang Rao, presumably she had been drinking beer; her cheeks were flushed red, making her look surprisingly enticing.

"Oh, just thinking about my mom," Tang Rao casually replied.

After Tang Rao said this, Yun Xi visibly paused, and then her eyes turned red.

She grabbed the beer in front of her and started chugging it down vigorously.

What was this all about?

Tang Rao was also stunned, she suddenly started chugging beer in a frenzy. "Come on, girl, if you have something to say, just say it; give me a chance, I definitely won't stop you."

Other members of the Physical Society noticed Yun Xi's strange behavior.

"Don't try to stop me!" Yun Xi shouted, then continued drinking beer, chugging down two bottles.

After finishing, her eyes were even redder, then she began to sob loudly.

Everyone was stunned. What the heck is going on?

Since Tang Rao was closest, everyone looked towards him.

"Why are you all looking at me? I don't know anything, I didn't do anything, I'm innocent, I'm getting blamed for no reason," Tang Rao immediately raised his hands and said.

How could he clear things up now, if they were to see him as a villain?

He didn't want to ruin his reputation for a lifetime.

"Tang Rao, what did you say just now?" a girl came over and asked softly.

She was a member of the Physical Society, named Luo Lili, who was a dormitory mate and close friend of Yun Xi.

"I... Oh, she asked why I was spacing out, and I said I was thinking about my mom, does that count?" Tang Rao replied.

Luo Lili's expression changed slightly.

From Luo Lili's expression, Tang Rao understood that it was this remark that caused the trouble.

"Xiao Xi's mom has a severe illness, has been bedridden for years, and the family... has an older brother and a younger brother; they live a very tough life. Her tuition is all earned by herself through tutoring, she even pays for her brother's high school tuition," Luo Lili whispered.

Tang Rao nodded his head, no wonder mentioning his mother made Yun Xi cry.

Presumably, this girl had been carrying too much pressure in her heart.

Yun Xi's crying grew louder, drawing the attention of surrounding students.

However, with her head buried in the table, nobody could recognize her.

"Probably a breakup."

"No need for tears over a jerk."

"Exactly..."

Many people were whispering, some comforting her, others continued their jokes.

"Erm, maybe we should call it a day. You guys help Yun Xi back to her dorm," Tang Rao said to Luo Lili.

"Mmm." Wu Lili nodded, that was the only thing she could do now.

Speaking of which, she stood up wanting to help Yun Xi.

But before Wu Lili could get close, Yun Xi lifted her head and grabbed another bottle of beer.

"No one is allowed to leave, keep drinking! No one is allowed to help me back to the dorm, all of you go away!" Yun Xi picked up the beer bottle and started chugging, unstoppable.

"My gosh, that girl is so pretty!"

"Isn't that... Yun Xi?"

"It really is her!"

Yun Xi looked up, and the surrounding onlookers recognized her.

"Tang Rao, what should we do now?" Luo Lili asked anxiously.

Tang Rao furrowed his brows; Yun Xi was clearly releasing her emotions and stress. If they forcibly took her away now, her psychological pressure might become even greater.

"Continue drinking with her." Tang Rao said as he picked up the beer in front of him and clinked it against the bottle in Yun Xi's hand, "Come on, I'll drink with you!"

The two of them, like mad, drank one bottle after another.

Speaking of which, Yun Xi's alcohol tolerance was really not ordinary; after five or six bottles of beer, she hadn't yet collapsed.

Although she was utterly incoherent, she still managed to stay upright, tears streaming down her face, still clamoring to drink.

"Xiao Xi, it's almost ten o'clock, the dorm is going to lock up, let's go back." Luo Lili advised from the side.

"I'm not going back, I want to drink!" Yun Xi pushed away Luo Lili's hand, holding the beer bottle while looking at Tang Rao, "Come on, let's continue… keep drinking."

"Everyone should leave first; don't delay the dorm locking up." Tang Rao told the members of the physical club.

Everyone nodded and then dispersed one after another.

As for Yun Xi, with Tang Rao and Luo Lili there, she shouldn't run into any trouble.

Worst comes to worst, they just book a room at a hotel nearby. With Yun Xi in this state, she probably won't make it back by ten.

"You too, get out! All of you leave, get away from me!" After everyone left, Yun Xi started pushing Luo Lili away, "All of you get lost, I don't need pity, don't need help… don't need help, get away."

Luo Lili felt somewhat helpless; she didn't know what to do.

"Xiao Xi, stop drinking." Luo Lili reached out to snatch the beer bottle from Yun Xi's hand.

Although she grabbed it, she couldn't pull it away from Yun Xi, who suddenly pushed her, splashing various stains from the table all over Luo Lili.

From top to bottom she was nearly soaked, even her hair was drenched.

"Lili, you go back first, I'll stay with her," Tang Rao said upon seeing Luo Lili in that state.

"Mmm, I'm leaving." Luo Lili was obviously a bit angry as she left with a displeased expression.

A drunken woman, completely unreasonable.

At eleven, there were hardly any people around, snack stalls began to close down.

Yun Xi still hadn't passed out, but Tang Rao could only help her up and head to a nearby hotel.

At this time the dormitory had already locked up, so, they had to stay at a hotel.

After checking in, Tang Rao carried Yun Xi into the hotel room.

Tang Rao didn't ask much at the front desk earlier, but upon entering the room, he realized something was amiss.

Damn, this is... a freaking themed love room.

There was even a rope hanging over the big bed, damn, was this for playing air acrobat? It looked thrilling.

And then on both sides of the big bed, there were handcuffs and chains, which seemed even more thrilling.

And what's with the super seductive black stockings, nurse uniforms, stewardess uniforms in the open wardrobe? Thrillingly explosive!
