Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest-Chapter 1182: True Proof (58)

"I’m going back to Wen County next week."

"Don’t worry."

After finishing his conversation with Chang Qian, Wang Chen put his phone aside, leaned back in his chair, and closed his eyes with contentment.

The commotion caused by his status as the top scorer in the college entrance exam had faded into the past with time, but his life’s journey was far from over.

Wang Chen was about to leave this place.

To be honest, after living here for some time, he had grown accustomed to and fond of the peaceful life in Shangma Village.

Here it was quiet, free from the interference of people and their affairs. The scenery was beautiful, and he could even farm a little. Even if something extraordinary occurred, no one would notice.

It suited Wang Chen perfectly for the time being.

But matters over in Wen County were urgent and couldn’t be delayed any longer, and he was well aware of the pressure Chang Qian faced.

The Haicheng Group’s stock price had dropped significantly, and that had a lot to do with Wang Chen!

If Chang Qian couldn’t handle this level of pressure, Wang Chen would have to seriously reconsider their collaboration.

Because once the green ecological project in Wen County kicked off, it was bound to have a monumental impact on the industry. The Haicheng Group would need to act as a protective shield to weather the storms.

Meow~

Accompanied by a meow, a large cat suddenly leapt onto Wang Chen, curling obediently into his lap.

Wang Chen stroked its fur twice, then suddenly had a thought and tapped the creature’s head: "Go, bring my sister over."

Huahua glanced at him with a look of grievance before springing away and vanishing at the doorway in the blink of an eye.

In just a few minutes, it returned—snuggled in Wang Xiaomeng’s arms.

Behind Wang Xiaomeng was Tian Tian.

"Brother!"

As soon as Wang Xiaomeng entered, she called out excitedly, "I brought your girlfriend over, so hurry up and give me a big red envelope as payment for my hard work!"

Tian Tian’s face turned crimson with embarrassment as she reached out to pinch her best friend’s waist, but she couldn’t bear to do it too hard.

Wang Xiaomeng dodged playfully and said, "You two go have fun. I’ll stay home and play on the computer with Huahua."

Saying this, she couldn’t help but plant a kiss on Huahua in her arms.

Huahua nudged its head against hers, looking adorably obedient, making Wang Xiaomeng unwilling to let go.

In reality, she had no idea what kind of being Huahua truly was!

This big cat, deliberately trained by Wang Chen, not only possessed increased intelligence but had undergone a transformation in its muscles and bones, wielding immense power.

If it so desired, it could instantly turn into a machine of destruction.

Forget about other cats and dogs; even a strong adult man would be no match for it.

In fact, Huahua’s role in this household wasn’t just as a cute pet; it was a deadly protector of the home!

But in front of Wang Chen, Wang Xiaomeng, and others close to it, this big cat never revealed its ferocity.

Wang Xiaomeng happily cuddled the cat, and Wang Chen smiled and stood up, taking Tian Tian’s delicate hand in his own: "Don’t run off. Wait for us to come back for lunch."

"Alright, alright!"

And then the blushing Tian Tian was led out of the house by Wang Chen.

Wang Chen lifted the classic bicycle leaning against the wall and carried the girl toward Flying Horse Lake.

They soon arrived at the spot where they often met in secret.

Under the cool shade of a large tree, Tian Tian leaned softly against Wang Chen, feeling incomparably happy and sweet.

Holding the girl in his arms, Wang Chen gazed at the shimmering ripples of Flying Horse Lake, his heart calm and serene.

One by one, wishes from his past life were being fulfilled, and regrets were being remedied. Even though he hadn’t yet discovered the right moment to return, he wasn’t in the least bit anxious—in fact, he hoped time would slow down a little more.

So he could fulfill more of his dreams!

"Brother..."

Tian Tian said softly, "I’ve already decided. I’m going to apply to Capital University the year after next!"

She was entering her second year of high school this summer, so it would be two years before her college entrance exams.

Tian Tian had always performed well academically, but getting into Capital University was no small feat.

It was clear she was resolutely determined to stay by Wang Chen’s side.

"Alright."

Wang Chen gently stroked her hair and smiled, "I’ll wait for you at Capital University."

He had already been accepted into Capital University, choosing to major in biology, planning to complete his undergraduate degree in the Capital before pursuing graduate school, during which he intended to establish his own biotechnology company.

Wang Chen had already crafted detailed plans for his future career!

If Tian Tian could stay by his side, it would certainly be a blessing.

In matters of the heart, Wang Chen refused to be bound by societal morality. He liked Tian Tian and liked Xie Yunyao too—why not like both at the same time? He even held open the possibility of liking a third or fourth person in the future.

Wang Chen had the ability to ensure that everyone he cared about would be happy, and he wouldn’t allow himself to create regrets!

Of course, if Tian Tian or Xie Yunyao couldn’t accept this, Wang Chen would let go gracefully and offer his blessings.

With this, Wang Chen took a jade pendant necklace from his pocket: "This is for you."

Tian Tian exclaimed in surprise, "It’s so beautiful!"

Wang Chen chuckled, "Let me help you put it on."

"Okay."

The mutton fat white jade accessory, hand-crafted by Wang Chen, was of top-tier quality and held hidden secrets within.

It had been custom-made specifically for Tian Tian.

As long as she carried it with her, it would gradually improve her physical condition and even protect her from one life-threatening injury.

Since advancing to Five Rings in Spiritual Energy, Wang Chen had made groundbreaking progress in creating Spirit Energy Equipment.

This necklace was the pinnacle of his achievements, surpassing the item he had gifted Xie Yunyao!

Tian Tian didn’t grasp its true significance but felt overjoyed nonetheless, and she couldn’t help but lean in for a sweet kiss.

The two embraced, staying close for a long time before separating.

Mostly because Tian Tian couldn’t handle it for much longer—Wang Chen cherished her youth and refrained from going too far.

More could be saved for the future.

The two remained cuddling until noon, then contentedly returned home.

"Brother, I’m starving!"

As soon as they stepped through the door, Wang Xiaomeng, who had been tasked with guarding the house, began to complain loudly: "I want a feast! You can’t just enjoy yourselves and abandon me!"

Wang Chen laughed, "Alright, we’ll go for a feast now."

There was certainly no feast to be found in Shangma Village, but several farmhouse-style restaurants in the nearby Shangma New Village offered hearty rural meals. Wang Chen took the two girls there for a sumptuous lunch.

They played until the afternoon before Wang Chen escorted them back to the city.

Three days later, Wang Chen packed his belongings, leaving Shangma Village and embarking on his journey home.

This time, he was traveling with his uncle, aunt, and Wang Xiaomeng—all four in one car heading home via the expressway to Wen County.

Wang Zhengyang and Tian Wenxiu had specifically taken time off work—not only to visit their elderly parents back home but also because Wang Chen and Wang Zhenghai were no longer who they used to be.

Wang Zhengyang was even considering the possibility of developing in Wen County.

Unknowingly, Wang Chen’s rebirth had already changed the fate of many people around him.
