I Hijacked The Timeline Chapter 44: A Friend's Gift

Chapter 44: A Friend’s Gift

The next morning, in the academy cafeteria.

As usual, the eating trio met at the north corner.

"Slurp-!”

After taking a sip of porridge, Feng Qi looked up at Mu Qing and Lin Ran. At the thought of their tragic end in the future, he could not help but sigh.

"Brother Qi, why do 1 feel that you’re looking at me strangely? What’s the matter?” Lin Ran, whose mouth was filled with food and had learned to eat in large mouthfuls, looked up at Feng Qi in confusion.

“1 asked a master to read your fortune yesterday. Guess what?”

Lin Ran was puzzled.

"He said that you have a calamity in your life. This calamity will have you live the rest of your life in pain, but there’s also a way to resolve it.”

"How?” Lin Ran asked curiously.

"Give up the stubborn dream in your heart and accept the talent chosen for you.”

"Brother Qi, 1 don’t understand. Can you tell me what it means in a way that carbon-based lifeforms can understand?”

"What’s your strongest talent? What’s the reason why you were accepted by Tiger Soul Research Inst.i.tute in advance?” Feng Qi continued to guide him patiently.

"Of course it’s my achievements in spell research.”

"Yes, that’s the talent chosen for you. Then let me ask you again. What’s your dream?”

"My dream is to make a mark in the field of cultivation techniques and become a master in cultivation techniques and for future generations… Huh?” At this point, Lin Ran suddenly understood what Feng Qi wanted to say and immediately whispered, “Brother Qi, I’ve never believed in fate. I only believe that my fate is up to me and not the heavens.”

"You’ll be killed by your own dreams sooner or later!” Realizing that Lin Ran still wouldn’t listen to him, Feng Qi couldn’t help but glare.

"I will not hesitate to die for my dreams. A real man has to burn himself in pursuit of his dream and die pa.s.sionately.”

Then, you will regret it endlessly amidst the curses of the world. Your hair will even turn white overnight and you will spend the rest of your life in regret. In the end, you will die of depression.

You have no f*cking idea at all.

Looking at the confident Lin Ran, he couldn’t help but complain in his heart.

"By the way, let me tell you guys something. I’ll be leaving Star City Academy for a while.” “Where are you going?” Lin Ran stopped eating.

Mu Qing, who was sitting opposite him, also looked up at this moment. Her bulging mouth stopped chewing and she looked at Feng Qi curiously.

"I forgot to tell you guys that I’m actually only 17 years old. My reason for coming to Star City Academy this time is to visit and study. Therefore, 1 have to return to school in three days to deal with some graduation matters.”

Hearing this, Lin Rail’s eyes widened. He had always thought that Feng Qi was a senior at Star City Academy, but he did not expect him to be a year younger than himself. At this thought, he immediately asked, “Then are you still coming back? You won’t apply to another academy, right? I still want to learn cultivation techniques and knowledge from you. You can’t leave.”

Although Mu Qing did not say anything, she also cast her gaze at Feng Qi and waited for his answer.

Feng Qi was her first friend and the only person who brought her warmth. Hearing that he was leaving now, she suddenly felt a little reluctant, but she did not show this on her face.

"Aren’t you an exchange student of Winter Academy? Regardless of whether I’m in Star City Academy, won’t you have to go back sooner or later?” Feng Qi looked at Lin Ran speechlessly.

"I’m a genius. Geniuses have special privileges. Besides, I’ve already been accepted by the Tiger Soul Research Inst.i.tute in advance. 1 don’t have anything to learn in Winter Academy, so 1 can stay wherever I want. It’s just that I’ll graduate as a student of Winter Academy.”

"What about you? You haven’t answered my question. Do you want to come back or not? If you don’t, please tell me which academy you’re going to. I’ll come to you as an exchange student.”

"You can go wherever you want. Does it work so casually?” Feng Qi was stunned.

"That’s right. Before I came to Star City Academy, 1 wanted to go to the Milky Way Academy to study. The cultivation techniques there are more professional than the Star City Academy. In the end, my teacher asked me to come here first to help him show off in front of his old friend, so here I am.

"I originally planned to go to the Milky Way Academy after staying here for a month, but I don’t think there’s a need now. I think I’ve found a goal to learn and catch up to.” As he spoke, Lin Ran gave Feng Qi a knowing look.

"You’ve indeed found a goal to save you. I’ll guide you to thrive.” Feng Qi couldn’t help but sigh when he heard this.

Previously, he was worried that Lin Ran would return to Winter Academy sooner or later since he was an exchange student. At that time, without his supervision, he would probably go down the same path.

Now that he knew that Lin Ran could stay here forever, the worry in his heart dissipated.

At this thought, he smiled and said, “Don’t worry. 1’11 only be gone for a few days. I’ll be back after I’m done with the graduation matters. In fact, I’ve already been exempted from the exams and granted guaranteed admission to Star City Academy. I reckon that the admission notice will be sent to my school when 1 graduate.”

After saying that, he added inwardly, all because I’m worried about the two of you scourges.

"Hehe, we ll wait for you.” Hearing Feng Qi say that he would be back, a smile appeared on Lin Ran’s face.

Mu Qing, who was at the side, lowered her head again and began to eat in large mouthfuls. For some reason, she suddenly felt that her appet.i.te was good.

After breakfast, before leaving, Feng Qi took out a silver-white harmonica from his pocket and handed it to Mu Qing.

"Senior Sister, this is for you.”

Seeing the harmonica in Feng Qi’s hand, Mu Qing was shocked and seemed to be at a loss.

She was used to being isolated and ostracized. She was already very happy that Feng Qi could become friends with her. She did not expect him to remember that her harmonica was broken and buy one for her.

"I can’t take it.” Mu Qing shook her head.

"I bought it for you. It’s just a gift from a friend to a friend. Take it.” As he spoke, Feng Qi handed the silver-white harmonica to Mu Qing. Seeing that she was still hesitating, he stuffed it into her hand.

Looking at Mu Qing, who seemed quite at a loss, he did not say anything. Then, he grabbed Lin Ran and turned to leave, not giving her a chance to return it.

Holding the silver harmonica and watching Feng Qi and Lin Ran leave, Mu Qing’s eyes were wet. Then, she suddenly lowered her head, as if she was afraid that someone would see her fragile side.

On the way to the library from the cafeteria, Lin Ran looked at Feng Qi teasingly and said, “Brother Qi, since it’s a gift between friends, why don’t 1 have one?”

With that, he became a drama queen and suddenly said with a disappointed expression, “I understand. Indeed, in the face of love, friendship can’t withstand a single blow.”

"Who says you don’t? I’ve already prepared it for you. I’ll give it to you later.”

Hearing this, Lin Ran was stunned for a moment before asking curiously, “Brother Qi, can you tell me what it is in advance?”

"The Milky Way Research Inst.i.tute’s latest book, Advanced Spell Theory 3.9 Revised Edition Full Volume. There are three books as thick as bricks, divided into volumes I, II, and 111. How is that? Are you happy?”

Lin Ran was speechless..
