On the second floor, Cai Jian was completely oblivious to the horrors of his impending social death.
He just sat there, fully unaware of the seriousness of the situation. He really didn’t come here to study. Although the Cai family wasn’t a rich family, they grew up with good food and clothing. After he started junior high school, he had already planned to study abroad in the future. School wasn’t a necessity for him; he wasn’t particularly interested in studying in the very first place anyway.
But today, such a person who was too lazy to even read a book was now holding a book, absentmindedly sitting on the second floor with a bookish air around him.
“Brother?”
A somewhat surprised and confused voice came from the side.
Cai Jian was stunned. He raised his head and looked up to see his own sister. The two looked at each other, dismay and disbelief evident in their eyes. They spoke at the same time. “What are you doing here?”
The tacit understanding between the siblings was self-evident.
Cai Zhenzhen turned her face away in embarrassment. Cai Jian also gave a light cough due to the awkwardness of the situation. The two of them, each with their own ulterior motives, were both frantically thinking of excuses but alas, neither of them was able to come up with a suitable one.
Cai Jian took the initiative to speak. He said, “I was just passing by. I thought that since the final exams are just around the corner, I should come and start reviewing.”
Review my ass.
Cai Zhenzhen didn’t even bother to roast her own brother. Is he a person who can review and study?
Coming here to prepare for final exams? Coming here to pick up little girls is a bit more convincing!
But she had her own motive, so she didn’t dare to roast her brother too much. She stammered a bit and said, “I thought so as well. I was also…just passing by and came here to study.”
Study my ass.
Cai Jian was too lazy to roast his sister. You who liked to paint your face and flip your short skirt every day, is that someone who can study?
The two siblings looked at each other; both saw dislike in each other’s eyes and looked away at the same time. Neither of them exposed the other but just smiled awkwardly. “That’s good.”
Cai Zhenzhen was wondering if this wasn’t Jian Mei’s table and her brother was too insensitive to notice this. How could she allow him to disturb her and Jian Mei’s world? “En…Brother, are you done reading the book? Why don’t you go back to your school early? I checked the time and it’s getting late.”
‘What an unfortunate coincidence’ thought Cai Jian, ‘but I want you to go,’ so he said, “I’m not in a rush, but you are, right? What book do you want to read? Take it back to the classroom and read it there. It’s too noisy here, don’t you always like it to be quiet while reading?”
So annoying, why is he/she not leaving yet?
The two siblings thought this at the same time, but couldn’t directly say it.
The two of them looked at each other and began to read their books frantically. Because they were sitting opposite of each other, they had been thinking about how to make Jian Mei sit next to them later.
Cai Zhenzhen was thinking when a somewhat familiar voice came from her side. “Zhenzhen?”
She turned around and saw it was Cheng Yu.
Cai Zhenzhen was shocked. “Yu-ge, why are you here?”
Cheng Yu glanced at the small blue water bottle on the table to confirm if he was in the right place, then with a faint smile, he said, “I came here to review.”
Review my ass.
The Cai siblings thought in their minds at the same time. Cheng Yu, the mathematics class representative, had been ranked first all year round. With such achievements, was it still necessary for him to come here?
Cheng Yu said, “What about the two of you?”
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
The Cai siblings forced a smile. “We’re also here to study.”

Cheng Yu’s gaze swept across them, but he couldn’t figure out what they meant or what they were doing. However, it was impossible for him to leave since he finally got a chance to study with Jian Mei, so he sat down beside Cai Jian. “There’s no other available table here. You don’t mind me sitting here, right?”
Cai Jian stammered in front of Jian Mei, but it didn’t mean that he was polite to Cheng Yu. “You don’t mind sitting here, right?”
With a smile, Cheng Yu replied, “I don’t.”
The smell of gunpowder gradually spread out between them. No one was willing to give way.
Just then, a passerby came over, chimed in, and said, “There’s an empty seat here and no one seems to be seated. Can I sit here?”
The three of them who were facing each other looked at the passerby and rejected in unison. “No, someone’s seated here!”
After saying that, they all looked at each other in surprise.
While they were at a stalemate, Jian Mei who finally found all the books arrived upstairs. He saw that everyone seemed to be having a conversation, came over, and said, “Have you guys already finished studying?”
The three people fell silent.
The passerby hurriedly sneaked away. Jian Mei sat down on the remaining seat next to Cai Zhenzhen. He opened the water bottle and took a sip of water before looking up and saying, “Sorry, I’m late. Have you all started already? I’ll catch up.”
The other three were carefully considering that no one had asked them how many people had been invited to study with them. After all, each one of them was just bullshitting that they were here to study. If this got exposed, then they’d lose face in front of their classmates. In the end, they could only swallow their unwillingness in their stomachs and pretend to start reading the book.
Cai Zhenzhen was the only one happy here. After all, although her plan wasn’t achieved, she was the only one among the three people here who successfully sat beside Jian Mei. Oddly enough, she originally liked Cheng Yu, whom she thought was very gentle and outstanding, but now as she sat beside Jian Mei, a bit of happiness budded in her heart.
However…
Jian Mei didn’t notice this. He had a poor foundation and still didn’t know about some topics.
Cheng Yu was a clever one and took the initiative to ask. “What’s wrong? Is there a problem you can’t solve?”
Jian Mei nodded lightly. “This one seems a bit difficult.”
Cheng Yu put down the book he wasn’t reading at all. “Let me help you look at it.”
Jian Mei was a little hesitant. “Class representative, you’re still reading your book. I’ll figure it out myself.”
“It’s okay, no problem. Helping you review can also be considered as me reviewing.” Cheng Yu smiled. “And helping you is something I like to do.”
Jian Mei didn’t expect the class representative to be so enthusiastic. He pursed his lips from embarrassment. In the end, he still couldn’t refuse other people’s concerns, so he said, “Well, okay.”
Cheng Yu was sitting with Cai Jian. His purpose wasn’t only to teach Jian Mei how to solve the questions but to say, “Zhenzhen, can we change seats then? I’m sitting opposite Jian Mei, it’s not easy to teach him that way.”
Cai Zhenzhen couldn’t smile anymore.
Although the reason Cheng Yu gave couldn’t be refuted, she somehow felt that Cheng Yu had some scheme up his sleeve!
“Hahaha…” Cai Zhenzhen said, “Why don’t I help you look at it? After all, my grades in math are pretty good.”
Jian Mei was surprised. “Is that true?”
Cai Zhenzhen didn’t expect that her partial knowledge would bring so much benefit to her. She nodded, “It’s true, let me see.”
Perhaps, it was devil’s luck. When the book was brought over, the topic of the question happened to be something Cai Zhenzhen knew. This time, she straightened her back and smiled confidently. “En, I know this question.”
Jian Mei smiled at her. “That’s great.”
Cai Zhenzhen swore that she’d never given anyone such a detailed lecture on a topic before. But in order to show off in front of Jian Mei and not to lose to Cheng Yu, she did her best to break down this question into simpler parts when explaining it.
Jian Mei wrote the equation on scratch paper and checked it a few times before asking. “Is it like this?”
Cai Zhenzhen checked the answer. “That’s right.”
Jian Mei felt victorious and felt like he had already taken a big step even though he only just got one question right. Of course, he knew this was all thanks to Cai Zhenzhen, so he said gratefully, “It’s all thanks to you.”
He’d always look up at the other person whoever he spoke to. His voice was so sincere that it gave people a feeling of being cherished.
Cai Zhenzhen was jubilant inside, but she still looked proud on the surface. “As long as you know it.”
Jian Mei smiled and continued to focus on the book.
A bit of gloominess appeared on Cheng Yu’s face, but soon he adjusted himself. There was no way she’d be able to explain the next question because even though Cai Zhenzhen was quite good in Mathematics, her grades weren’t that great. Therefore, she wouldn’t be that lucky to know all the questions. Sure enough, the chance he was waiting for soon arrived.
“Why do you keep flipping through the book?” Cheng Yu said to Jian Mei, “Is there another question you can’t understand?”
At this moment, Jian Mei felt that he was socially dead. When he was just by himself, he would just feel a bit stupid but now that he was being stared at, he was a little embarrassed but he had to admit it. “Yes, I don’t know this topic well…”
Cheng Yu immediately said, “Let me see.”
Because Cai Zhenzhen wasn’t willing to change seats, Cheng Yu of course also had a way to solve it. He went over to Jian Mei’s side, leaned down to help him look at the problem, and checked Jian Mei’s calculation. Moreover, he took a hugging posture when he took the notes. His shameful behavior was outrageous.
Cai Zhenzhen was exasperated, but she had a solution to this. “Cheng-ge!”
Cheng Yu was stunned and cast a sideways glance at her. “What’s wrong?”
“I don’t know it either.” Cai Zhenzhen disrupted Cheng Yu’s ulterior plans.” Don’t just teach Meimei ah, teach me as well.”
Cheng Yu forced a smile. “Then wait for a while.”
Cai Zhenzhen moved to Jian Mei’s side and stuck close to Jian Mei, acting very close. She smiled. “No need, I’ll just sit closer and listen.”
Dead silence fell over the table.
Jian Mei felt a little uncomfortable and leaned back. He felt it was too hot because of the close distance, but didn’t say anything. Cai Jian, who was on the opposite seat and had been ignored for a long time, was already very dissatisfied. He was full of regrets now, regretting that he didn’t study well! Otherwise, he wouldn’t have to suffer such a big loss! But on second thought, he was already in senior high school. How could he not know a second-year junior high school’s question?
He thought of this and got an idea. He said, “Zhenzhen, you’re a young girl. It’s not good to be so close to a boy.”
Cai Zhenzhen didn’t expect that the person who would spoil her excellent plan was actually her own brother. She glared at Cai Jian, trying to warn him not to meddle in her business.
Cai Jian acted as if he didn’t see it and smiled even more brightly. He affectionately said to Jian Mei, “Meimei, you’re being squeezed there so much, why don’t you come sit with me? I also know this question, I can teach you.”
Jian Mei was taken aback.
Anyway, it was okay.
His relationship with Cai Zhenzhen wasn’t that good and he also didn’t know what Cai Zhenzhen thought of him. Cai Zhenzhen had a good relationship with Cheng Yu, hence it would be better if the two of them talk to each other. Being caught in the middle was also uncomfortable, so he readily agreed. “Okay.”
Cheng Yu and Cai Zhenzhen’s eyes both widened. At the same time, two pairs of eyes looked at Cai Jian glaring at him.
Cai Jian smiled even more. “What are you looking at? No need to thank me.”
Once again, the atmosphere at the table was off. Except for Jian Mei, the other three people didn’t even read a word in their books, it was simply a big palace fight scene. By the time lunch break was over and they all returned to school, Jian Mei was mostly done with his exercise book. The three people had helped him and Jian Mei was grateful, so he thought about it and said, “Thank you, everyone. I really appreciate your help. I’m slow to answer the questions and I also delayed your study time, so I want to treat you all. What do you want to eat?”
Cai Zhenzhen said, “What do you want to eat?”
Jian Mei smiled and said, “Anything is fine.”
Although his old pocket money had been used to buy gifts for Dazhuang-ge, he was saving some pocket money for the past half month, so his pocket was still quite full.
Cheng Yu said, “But Meimei, it’s time for class, it’s too late to eat now.”
Jian Mei realized. “Oh, that’s right.”
Cai Jian, who had been trying hard to figure out how to find an opportunity to meet again with Jian Mei, immediately suggested. “How about next time? Let’s set a date.”
Of course, the other two saw his dark motives, how could they give him a chance? Cai Zhenzhen and Cheng Yu said in unison, “Don’t change to another day. Let’s just go out and eat together tonight.”
After saying that, the three people looked at each other and tacitly understood the meaning.
If I can’t succeed, none of you will. This is called mutual destruction.
Jian Mei was completely unaware of this. He just nodded and said, “Okay, then see you after school. You guys can think about what you want to eat first.”
After saying that, he thought he was talking big. Jian Mei scratched his head in embarrassment and said softly, “Just…a five-star meal would be a bit difficult.”
He’s so adorable.
This phrase popped up in their minds at the same time.
But this dinner still had to commence. It was Jian Mei’s first time inviting friends to dinner; he called Shen Meina and said that he couldn’t come back for dinner and would go out with his classmates to eat. Of course, Shen Meina had no objection. Knowing that it was her child’s first time having dinner with his classmates, she was afraid that Jian Mei would pinch pennies and cause his friends to be dissatisfied with him. She sent a maid to deliver 2000 yuan after school, so Jian Mei wouldn’t be stingy with his friends.
This was the first time Jian Mei received such a large amount of pocket money.
His pocket money for every month had never exceeded 500 yuan since he was young. It was the first time he held so much money and was very excited. He took the pocket money and ate with his friends at the…street-side stalls.
……
Stan Star.
Lu Xingwang was sitting on the left side of the palace hall, and in front of him was Lan Chang, the patriarch of the Lan family. After a few days of hard work, there was finally a clue about his divine power.
Lan Chang said, “Your divine power must be in another person’s hands right now and moreover, that person is associated with you. Since the divine power can return to your body, it means that it isn’t sealed and dormant, but is active.”
Lu Xingwang frowned. “Can other people use my divine power?”
“If there’s a 100% fit, it’s possible.” Lan Chang gave him his assumption. “If both parties have divine power, the two divine powers will clash. However, if the other party has no divine power, is weak, has low antibodies, and is very compatible with your divine power, then the chances of fusion are high. Moreover, from what I saw, your divine power wasn’t forcedly fused. Your divine power can be said to be so powerful that it even found its own host to transition.”
Lu Xingwang wasn’t surprised.
He wasn’t really worried about not getting back his divine power. What he was most worried about was if such a formidable power fell into a person with malicious intentions, there might be serious consequences.
Lan Chang reassured him. “Rest assured, your divine power is the divine power of light. The divine power of light only likes people with pure minds and usually wouldn’t go near the treacherous and wicked ones. Contrarily, if a pure and innocent person possessed such a power, the divine power will bless him with the power of light which can be used to do good deeds and accumulate virtue.”
Lu Xingwang pursed his lips. “But if it really fell to an ill-intentioned person, the sky and earth will turn upside down.”
Lan Chang went silent. Indeed, it was something that couldn’t be ruled out, but now there was also good news. “But your divine power is slowly returning. At this rate, I’m sure that after a few years, most of it will be recovered.”
Lu Xingwang always felt that things wouldn’t go as he planned and could only say, “I hope so.”
Lan Chang’s lips twitched. He still had some things he wanted to say but didn’t know whether to say it or not. Of course, such movements attracted Lu Xingwang’s attention and he asked. “What do you want to say? There’s no harm in saying so.”
Silence permeated the hall.
Finally, Lan Chang said, “Such a spell is forbidden and the reason why it’s forbidden is because it’s dangerous. In case you didn’t know, you were on the verge of death and weak enough to have your divine power extracted. The person who could receive the divine power…”
Lu Xingwang said, “Is a terminally ill person?”
Lan Chang nodded. “Yes, it’s a two-way situation. However, it might not be a bad thing for him because your divine power can extend his life. If it weren’t for such a critical mistake, the other party would probably be in a very bad situation.”
As the divine power returned to him, Lu Xingwang’s condition would gradually improve. However, as the divine power gradually waned, the other party wouldn’t get the blessing of the divine power, and would slowly collapse.
His Highness summed it up. “If one day all my divine power returns, he’ll die.”
The author has something to say:
Even if I’m given one more chance to rise in the future, I will still choose to give you a bright future.
Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
Jian mei, so popular~
And i can probably guess who got lxw divine power… 🥲
Can I know? I forgot some of the characters ._.
I don’t know if you’re being sarcastic or not, but to answer you it’s most likely Jiang Mei (MC). He had cancer (or was it leukemia?) and had made a steady recovery after going into remission, but above all are the things he can do with that phone that our phones shouldn’t be able to do.
Oh oh oh that’s bad news… And am so distressed so our mei mei almost died, didn’t think he got better because of that divine power…
Thanks for the chapter ♥️♥️
This chapter gave me some seriously mixed feelings. Everyone playing musical chairs in the first part was hilarious, all the love rivals thoughts reminded me of an episode of love is war. But mei mei’s foreshadowed death makes me want to cry 😢
Sweet and bitter… Thanks for the chapter ❤️
Its like someone shoved pop rocks, strawberries, candy, sauerkraut, pickles, eggs, over cooked burnt chili, bitter medicine, and expired gumbo in my mouth. I hate strawberries, pickles, pop rocks, sauerkraut, and expired gumbo ewwwww
AH. well that explain the steady recovery but. QAQ
(Thank you for the chapter 🌺)
Ohh i see~~
Oh no…
I am sure his highness would give him half of the divine power right?
Oh… So…. Half for me, half for you?
Thanks for the chapter ~
I accidentally spoile myself before when I checked the raws but I didn’t understood what happened at the time except for some sad stuff regarding mei mei’s health. So it turns out that its like this 😥 anyway, thank you for the chapter!
Ohhhh wait. There’s another possibility. Maybe it’s the second prince who got his power? Tho there’s no clue, just a guess.
I don’t know if I should be happy for the funny interactions at the beginning of the chapter or sad about the implications of lxw restoring his divine powers :((
Thanks for the chapter! 😘
»But if it really fell to an ill-intentioned person, “the”« T/N is broken here and the rest of the sentence is missing.
Good thing that Meimei doesn’t realizes what’s going on with those three x’D He would be scared shitless, eh?
If LXW also already has a guess where his power run off to?
Thx for the ch ٩(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )و
Thanks, fixed!
thanks for the chapter <3
I hope it’s not what i am thinking it is…. I came for fluff and not sweet covered poison….
If its mild i dont mind.
Naurrrrr plsss. I’m begging you, pls don’t say that it’s Jian Mei 😭😭😭
Thx for the chappy..
.
thank you🥰🤩
💜💜💜
Wait…. WHAT??!?!?!?!?!!?!!?!????!????! NOOOO!!!!!!!!!!─=≡Σ(╯°□°)╯︵┻┻
Please say that it’s the phone, my heart wouldn’t be able to take it if it went to our MC-
Author… author why…. Why must you do this to us? (꒦ິ⌑꒦ີ)
Also, the pace of this story has been quite slow. It’s not bad, but I hope the time when they meet is coming soon. Idk if I could wait another 20 chapters for it to happen.
meimei is so adorable 🥺 I’m good at mathematics come and learn with me meimei🥰🥰
