Illimitable Until Death

Chapter 822: IUD-Chapter 817 The End of the School Festival

By this time tomorrow, most of these people would also be departing the academic battle city.

After all, today marked the final day of the School Festival.

With that, the School Festival officially announced its conclusion.

Of course, even though the School Festival had ended, that didn’t mean the excitement had come to a halt.

Online, a flurry of eye-catching headlines erupted, creating a massive uproar.

“Shock! The World’s Number One Diva Appears at the School Festival!”

“Unexpected Development! The Diva’s Close Relationship with Champion Jie Long?”

“Friends? Or Lovers? The Diva and the Champion!”

Headlines like these flooded the internet, and no matter where one looked, trending topics were everywhere, with view counts refreshing on a massive scale every few seconds, letting everyone in the academic battle city— and even the entire world— know what had transpired that day.

The various rumors that emerged were so numerous they seemed to break through the sky.

Some believed that Fang Li and Sylvia were merely ordinary friends.

Others speculated that they were secretly developing a romantic relationship.

Some even suggested that Fang Li and Sylvia shared some unspeakable secret.

In short, it was a lively affair.

“…It’s just that she appeared in public once, and the topic volume has reached this level. I must say, it’s no wonder she’s the world’s number one idol, right?” Sitting on the bed in Sylvia’s dormitory room, Fang Li browsed the news on the holographic screen in front of him, feeling both amused and at a loss for how to react.

Although he had anticipated something big would happen, the scale still exceeded his expectations.

“No wonder those silly girls from Rusalka wanted to stop Sylvia from retiring. With this kind of popularity, if she really did retire, I’m afraid the gates of Queenvail Academy would be torn down!”

After all, since the news broke, a certain martial arts-obsessed senior had bombarded Fang Li with nearly a hundred phone calls, which he had ignored one by one.

The senior kept dialing desperately, forcing Fang Li to turn off his terminal until just now when he finally turned it back on.

This just goes to show the boundless power of fans.

“It seems that tonight I really can’t go back.” If he returned, he would undoubtedly be blocked at the door by that senior, leading to a conflict among peers.

As Fang Li pondered this, a disgruntled voice broke into his thoughts.

“Anyway, you didn’t plan to go back, did you?” Sylvia emerged from the bathroom, enveloped in steam, her body wrapped only in a towel.

She held another towel in her hand, drying her wet purple hair, and shot Fang Li a glance.

“Otherwise, you wouldn’t have sneaked into my room.”

Hearing this, Fang Li withdrew his gaze from the holographic screen and looked at Sylvia, her alluring figure fully displayed before him.

He smirked and replied, “In other words, you don’t want me here? Then I’ll just leave, okay?”

With that, Fang Li stood up.

However, before he could leave, she grasped his hand tightly.

“Idiot…”

The next second, Sylvia’s dissatisfied complaint reached his ears.

Fang Li smiled slightly, sat back down, and gently pulled the world’s number-one Diva into his embrace, letting her settle on his lap.

Sylvia obediently nestled into Fang Li’s arms, closing her eyes and taking a deep breath, as if trying to memorize his scent, softly mumbling, “The School Festival is over; it feels so regrettable…”

From Sylvia’s words, Fang Li could sense her genuine regret.

It wasn’t because she hadn’t enjoyed the School Festival; on the contrary, this year’s event was probably the happiest one she had experienced so far— because Fang Li was there.

But precisely because of this, Sylvia felt regretful.

Happy times always seem to pass by too quickly.

The end of the School Festival meant that Fang Li and Sylvia’s date was also coming to an end, which naturally made her feel wistful.

“Actually, there’s nothing to regret, right?” Fang Li said, inhaling the scent of the shampoo in Sylvia’s hair.

“After all, there will be plenty of days ahead.”

“Yeah, there will be plenty of days ahead.” Sylvia’s voice regained its usual calmness, but she sighed as she added, “Although I don’t know if there will be any free time for dates in the future.”

As the world’s number one Diva, Sylvia almost always had a packed schedule of tours every year, traveling around the globe.

If it weren’t for the upcoming “Gryphon Festa,” she might still be out on tour.

And even though she wouldn’t leave the academic battle city until after the “Gryphon Festa,” that didn’t mean she would have any free time.

Sylvia still needed to attend numerous events.

“That’s why I want to retire,” Sylvia said with a hint of lamentation.

“I don’t even have time to properly date.”

However, retiring just to date was something only someone like Sylvia could consider doing.

“I don’t really mind,” Fang Li said, holding Sylvia and shrugging.

“You could retire right now if you wanted.”

“Well, for now, let’s just maintain the status quo,” Sylvia said helplessly.

“Those kids have worked so hard for me; if I just leave without a word, it would cause a lot of trouble.”

She was naturally referring to the girls of Rusalka.

“Those girls actually like you a lot, don’t they?” Fang Li said with certainty.

“If it weren’t for that, they wouldn’t have gone to such lengths.”

“Maybe?” Sylvia replied with a smile.

“I remember several years ago, those kids were still just unknown new students. I just gave them a little push back then, and they debuted as idols.”

In other words, Sylvia played a significant role in Rusalka’s success.

The reason those girls were so eager to surpass Sylvia was probably just to prove their abilities to someone they admired.

“How to say it?” Fang Li chuckled.

“They really are a bunch of clumsy girls.”

“Hehe…” Sylvia laughed softly, clearly pleased.

Shortly afterward, the two of them fell into a comfortable silence.

Only their heartbeats and body temperatures gradually rose in the quiet room.
