Global Evolution: I Super Double Up on my evolution-Chapter 396 - 195: Dean Bai Jie is Stunned!_2

"Sorry for the wait."

Su Yan said smilingly as he looked at Qin Yao.

He then gently brushed aside the slightly disheveled fringe above her forehead, making it neat and smooth again.

This simple act seemed like he was just fixing a girl’s hair, but in reality, it touched the girl’s heart.

THUMP!

THUMP!

THUMP!

Qin Yao’s heart fluttered. Her entire heart raced, and a blush spread uncontrollably across her cheeks until her whole delicate, fair face was flushed.

Seeing Qin Yao’s face turn red and hot, Su Yan somewhat regretted fixing her hair.

This girl is too sensitive.

Just a light touch is enough to make her blush profusely.

Even from half a meter away, I can feel the heat from her face.

If things go as expected, steam might soon rise from the top of her head.

She truly is the Steam Princess...

After taking a few deep breaths, Qin Yao finally calmed her chaotic emotions. Then, under Su Yan’s gaze, she reached into her bag, took out a Sage Fruit, and passed it to him. "I’ve already washed it. You can eat it directly," she said.

"Okay," Su Yan simply responded. He took the Sage Fruit from her hands without further ado and began eating.

Seeing Qin Yao only watching him eat while she stood silently holding the bag, Su Yan instantly felt something was amiss.

He immediately asked, "Qin Yao, where’s your Exotic Flower Fruit?"

"I already ate mine. I had it before I messaged you," Qin Yao said with a smile.

Su Yan looked into her eyes and noticed a flicker in them—a sign of lying.

Perhaps... Qin Yao’s sister only brought her one Sage Fruit, not two.

In other words, she likely gave me the only Sage Fruit she had.

At this thought, Su Yan suddenly felt the Sage Fruit in his hand grow heavy, and guilt gnawed at him as he ate.

But then he reconsidered. Maybe I’m overthinking it.

Compared to my original world, in this harsh Evolution World where only the strong survive, all creatures tend to be more selfish, thinking more for themselves.

How could anyone be so selfless?

Although this was what Su Yan was thinking, upon seeing the loving gaze from Qin Yao beside him, he immediately started to feel guilty again.

They say some women become less intelligent when in love. Perhaps Qin Yao is one of them...

Even though, at the moment, I’m not in a relationship with her.

But who knows what she’s thinking?

Maybe she already considers our relationship to be that way.

Living off a woman... it’s truly not something everyone can do.

For someone like me, with zero experience in romance, it definitely comes with a psychological burden.

Thinking this, Su Yan quickly finished the Sage Fruit and turned to Qin Yao. "The finals are about to start. Let’s go downstairs," he said.

"Mhm," Qin Yao replied.

Very quickly, the two of them arrived at the Institute of Plant Cultivation’s competition venue. This was because the Institute of Plant Cultivation, teeming with beautiful women, was the first to start its finals.

After running back and forth during the preliminary rounds at the three institutes, Su Yan found that the number of spectators at each institute was about the same. The only difference was that the Institute of Plant Cultivation had a particularly large number of male spectators. This was understandable. After all, it’s in a man’s nature, and there were so many beauties at the Institute of Plant Cultivation. Any man would choose to watch the competition there without hesitation.

Conversely, the Institute of Qi and Blood was particularly crowded with female spectators. This situation occurred for much the same reason the male audience at the Institute of Plant Cultivation was overflowing: these female spectators were all there to see the strapping men. The Institute of Qi and Blood specialized in cultivating the physical body and the skillful use of HP. So, most of its students were muscular men, adored by the female students. Each one of them was eager to admire the men’s eight-pack abs, arguably appearing even more fervent than their male counterparts.

As for the spectators at the Institute of Spirit’s competition, the gender ratio was a bit more balanced. But overall, there were still more male spectators because Jing University simply had a larger male student population.

About five minutes later, the finals at the Institute of Plant Cultivation finally began.

The rules of the competition were simple: a large display booth would be in the middle of the venue. A mysterious Spirit Plant, Demonic Plant, or Exotic Flower Fruit would be placed on this booth as the exhibit. The competitors then had a set time limit to write down as much information about the displayed item as possible.

For example, if the displayed item was Liuwei Dihuang Fruit, the competing students could write on their answer sheets: "This fruit is called Liuwei Dihuang Fruit, mainly found in the Jiuzhou Mountain and Sea Area. Consumption by living beings can increase their Qi and Blood Value, etc..."

"There are 10 seconds left in the countdown before the competition starts! Eight finalists, please be ready to write!" the hostess announced.

"You only have 20 seconds to answer, so please maintain a high level of mental focus!"

"10, 9... 3, 2, 1!"

"The finals officially begin!"

As the hostess finished speaking, a volunteer placed an unknown plant on the booth.

The next moment, all eight competing students sitting around the booth, except for Su Yan, suddenly looked extremely grave.
