Chapter 83: Xiao Longchen Must Endure Without Acting

Another new day.

Security guard Xiao Longchen got up early and arrived at the security office at the gate of S University.

He worked diligently, with a positive attitude, using his keen eyes to carefully examine everyone entering and exiting the campus. However, during occasional idle moments, he would glance at a distant tall building.

That’s where the School of Economics and Management was located, and his childhood sweetheart, Lin Xiaowei, a finance teacher, worked there.

Since returning to the country, Xiao Longchen had yet to reunite with Lin Xiaowei, only watching her from afar.

Those few glimpses rekindled the shy yet joyful feelings he had during his secret crush years ago.

During his years fighting abroad, Xiao Longchen, after each battle, would go drinking and partying with his Seven Kill Hall brothers. During this time, he would also flirt and have numerous one-night stands.

But in Xiao Longchen’s heart, those encounters were just ways to vent. He never had any emotional attachment, sometimes even sharing his conquests with his brothers. His heart remained untroubled.

However, after many years, seeing Lin Xiaowei’s face again, Xiao Longchen felt he had changed.

Just moments ago, seeing Lin Xiaowei talking to a male colleague made him uncomfortable and want to beat the man up.

But his rationality held him back.

Judging by their distance and expressions, the man was just an ordinary colleague, and there was another woman with them.

If he rashly attacked, he would be seen as a violent maniac, and he didn’t want to leave a bad impression on Lin Xiaowei upon their first reunion.

“Never mind, consider it a lesson in self-restraint and let this pretty boy off.”

Seeing the overly handsome man’s face and Lin Xiaowei’s slightly cold expression, Xiao Longchen smirked, using his years of womanizing experience to sneer.

“Tch, what good is being handsome these days? When it comes to picking up girls, being able to fight is what counts! See, my Xiaowei doesn’t care about you!”

With that, Xiao Longchen stopped paying attention to the man and continued staring at Xiaowei’s profile.

Only when her figure vanished into the building did Xiao Longchen shiver and reluctantly return to his post.

“Who would’ve thought? After enduring so long since I returned, just one more glimpse of Xiaowei and I couldn’t control myself.”

“Indeed, Xiaowei is my destined woman!”

Xiao Longchen sighed.

This time, returning to the country, besides seeking revenge and reuniting with Lin Xiaowei, he also aimed to find an opportunity to break through Peak Hua Jin and advance to Grandmaster.

The “endure without acting” method was one of his experiments.

In the Seven Kill Hall, he repeatedly attempted to break through to Grandmaster but failed. After one such failure, frustrated, he went to a bar to vent and drank excessively.

The next morning, after a sleepless night, Xiao Longchen got up, leaning against the wall to leave his room.

And it was precisely while leaning against the wall that he had an epiphany.

Why does this feeling of exhaustion… feel so similar to the weakness I experience after failing to break through to Grandmaster?

Could it be… that my repeated failures were due to overindulgence and lack of energy?

Thinking this, Xiao Longchen decided to “endure” for a while, coinciding with his return to the country.

However, what Xiao Longchen never anticipated was that his days of restraint would be undone by just one more look at his childhood sweetheart’s graceful figure.

No choice, Xiao Longchen resolved to look less in the future.

He wasn’t worried about Lin Xiaowei being approached by other men because now, Lin Xiaowei was the daughter-in-law of the Jia family.

Back then, after the death of his son, the Jia family head forced Lin Xiaowei to marry his deceased son, making her a widow in name only.

The Jia family head’s coercion was merely to fulfill his son’s wish, and he usually ignored her. However, if Lin Xiaowei dared to find another man and metaphorically “plant greenery” all over his son’s grave, he would surely erupt again.

Because of this, despite her beauty, Lin Xiaowei had lived quietly, with no men daring to pursue her.

As for Lin Xiaowei herself, Xiao Longchen knew she was somewhat traditional. Though forced into marriage, she now bore the title of “Jia family daughter-in-law” and was careful in her daily behavior.

To be with Lin Xiaowei, he first had to force the Jia family to divorce her, or success was impossible.

Thinking all this, Xiao Longchen decided to delay reuniting with Lin Xiaowei.

During this delay, he would break through to Grandmaster and begin his revenge against the Jia family and those who wronged the Xiao family.

He had already notified the Seven Kill Hall to send a Seven Kill Envoy.

If he did everything alone, he might slip up and attract official attention. So, he decided to summon a Seven Kill Envoy to handle the risky tasks.

After revenge, he would immediately send the Seven Kill Envoy back to the Seven Kill Hall, while he, Xiao Longchen, could stay in S City with Lin Xiaowei.

Xiao Longchen felt his plan was perfect, and soon, he would reunite with Lin Xiaowei.

He couldn’t help but look toward the School of Economics and Management building, his voice resolute.

“Xiaowei, wait for me!”
