Super Gene Hunting Ground

Chapter 116: Chapter 116 Qin Yu and Xia Luo (Third Update)

Yang Xiao didn’t expect Xia Luo to request a change of team members, and was momentarily stunned.

Regarding Qin Yu and Deng Xiao, he didn’t feel anything special. Other than being a bit prettier and having a better figure, Yang Xiao even valued Feifei more than Qin Yu and Deng Xiao.

Whether or not Qin Yu and Deng Xiao were there, Yang Xiao didn’t care, so he said:

”Ha ha, what’s the problem? As long as they are willing, I have no issues with it. They can come to you anytime.”

Huang Wen and the others immediately looked at Qin Yu and Deng Xiao.

Qin Yu’s face changed slightly, her expression cold, and she said indifferently:

”Xia Luo, thank you. I am quite fine at Kongming Academy. I don’t think coming to Xianan University will make me happier. After all, I’ve studied at Kongming Academy for three years. My classmates and friends are all in Kongming City, not in Xianan. I won’t come to Kongming City.”

”Qin Yu, don’t rush to reject me. Think it over. Deng Xiao?”

Xia Luo looked at Deng Xiao.

Deng Xiao giggled:

”Cousin, I don’t want to come to Kongming City either. If you really care about us, don’t make me make such choices. Qin Yu and I would both prefer to stay in Kongming City. Besides, isn’t Kongming City and Xianan allies now? They have a transit system for convenience, and if there’s any trouble, I’ll come to you, hehe!”

Faced with Qin Yu and Deng Xiao’s straightforward rejection, Xia Luo felt a little embarrassed, silent for a moment, then said:

”Alright, since both of you don’t want to come over, just as you wish. Yang Xiao, then please take care of Deng Xiao and Qin Yu for me.”

Deng Xiao made a face at Xia Luo, while Qin Yu very coolly said:

”I can take care of myself at Kongming Academy. No need for you to specially instruct Yang Xiao. I’m not anybody’s anything.”

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

Yang Xiao coughed lightly and smiled:

”Xia Luo, don’t worry. At Kongming Academy, all relationships are treated equally. If I drink porridge, nobody will only have water.”

Xia Luo could only nod helplessly and say:

”I’ll have Zhou Qiang take you to the School of Architecture and Engineering to find people. Lend you three people for a month’s term, you are responsible for their food and safety, with a daily pay of 100 Genetic Fragments. You can give it to them directly.”

”No problem, thanks a lot!”

Zhou Qiang got up and led Yang Xiao outside.

Xia Luo suddenly called out:

”Qin Yu, Deng Xiao, you two stay behind. I have something to say to you.”

The two could only stop.

Yang Xiao didn’t linger either, leading Huang Wen, Chen Fei, and Long Yongjun to quickly catch up to Zhou Qiang, leaving the building.

After Yang Xiao and the others left, only Qin Yu and Deng Xiao were left in the room.

Xia Luo got up and walked in front of them, saying somewhat reproachfully:

”Why don’t you two know what’s good for you? The overall Genetic Evolution Level at Xianan University is higher than at Kongming Academy. If you come here, I can give you better resources. Do you both like Yang Xiao that much?”

With these words, both girls looked up at Xia Luo at the same time.

Deng Xiao was indifferent, but Qin Yu’s expression was evidently agitated.

”Xia Luo, I have nothing to do with you. Please don’t show me undue concern. I can’t afford it. Three years ago, you and I had nothing between us anymore.”

”You? Qin Yu...”

A trace of helplessness appeared on Xia Luo’s handsome face.

The two had admired each other since high school, thinking they could continue their love story in college. When applying for college, Xia Luo chose the science-oriented Xianan University, while Qin Yu and Deng Xiao chose the literature-oriented Kongming Academy.

Once Xia Luo entered university, he caught the eye of a beautiful senior in his junior year.

The senior was not only beautiful and well-figured but also had a father with an influential background.

Xia Luo’s family background was modest; his parents were regular salaried workers. They were a middle-class family. Yet, beneath Xia Luo’s proud exterior was an ambition to conquer the world. The senior’s appearance stirred Xia Luo’s heart for the first time.

Under the senior’s aggressive pursuit, Xia Luo finally succumbed to beauty and power, abandoning Qin Yu and falling into a passionate romance with the senior.

In Xia Luo’s heart, if the power of love could help him reach unimaginable heights, why not seize it?

Xia Luo always kept this from Qin Yu, as both had never openly declared their feelings, existing in a vague mutual attraction.

One day, Qin Yu quietly slipped into Xianan University during the second term of their freshman year to find Xia Luo, accidentally witnessing Xia Luo and the senior holding hands on campus, realizing Xia Luo had moved on.

Qin Yu suffered for half a year before gradually getting over it.

Xia Luo and the senior were together for two years. Two years later, the girl went to study abroad in Langmu Country. The girl visited during winter and summer breaks, always affectionate with Xia Luo when back in-country.

Only Deng Xiao, as a friend to both, knew about this.

Xia Luo was a proud person and relations between him and Qin Yu became distant from then on. Of course, being his first love from high school, Xia Luo still harbored silent feelings.

In this post-apocalyptic world, Xia Luo’s ex-girlfriend’s life or death was unknown. Social power structures had disintegrated, and Xia Luo could no longer benefit from his ex, their old affections long gone. Seeing Qin Yu again ignited desires within him.

Xia Luo’s powerful Genetic Evolution Ability had made him the leader of Xianan University. Perhaps past regrets could be remedied with his newfound strength, yet he hadn’t anticipated Qin Yu’s decisiveness.

Xia Luo looked at Qin Yu blankly:

”Is it because of Yang Xiao?”

Qin Yu sneered:

”It’s nothing to do with him. Even if you were the only man left in this world, I’d rather die alone than be with you. We’re long over.”

First loves are unforgettable, and so is their pain, lingering a lifetime.

Deng Xiao sighed, always reluctant to meddle in their matters. One was a cousin, the other a friend, and siding with either proved difficult.

”Let nature take its course.”

Deng Xiao said mildly.

Xia Luo swiftly cooled down from his emotions, restoring his proud, distant handsome persona, and said calmly:

”Hope you won’t regret this!”

Naturally, this was intended for Qin Yu.

Qin Yu said nothing, turning to leave.

Deng Xiao glanced at Xia Luo, then followed suit, exiting Xia Luo’s office.

Xia Luo stared at their departing figures, a wave of resentment rising in his heart, silently thinking:

”In this world of survival of the fittest, one day, I will make you regret today’s decision.”
