Solo Leveling (Only I Level Up) - Chapter 454
Just when Liu Chenhao was very puzzled, a senior suddenly put his arms around Liu Chenhao’s shoulder.
“Chen Hao, don’t look so serious. Those who don’t know think someone is going to eat you.”
Liu Chenhao replied in a panic.
“No, that’s not the case, senior one!”
“So don’t be so serious when you say it.”
In an instant, the senior who was joking stopped smiling.
“Ah, but it’s better to be careful in front of other seniors. We have a particularly scary senior in our department.”
“Oh my God.”
Liu Chenhao’s expression stiffened.
“What’s the matter, although he won’t bully his juniors at will, his aura is no joke…”
Hearing the senior’s narration, Liu Chenhao remembered that such a person also had a…
Suddenly, the face of his father, known as the Iron Blood CEO, appeared in his mind, and Liu Chenhao shook his head violently to shake off the thought.
I don’t know if the senior was a little drunk, but he actually happily talked about that senior.
“Chenhao, do you know contestant Cha Hae-yi?”
“Just… is that Cha Hae-In, who was called an idol in the track and field world not long ago?”
“That’s right, that contestant Cha Hae-In is Senior’s girlfriend. Hey, he came right after we were talking.”
After seeing the man who walked into the barbecue restaurant, the senior beside him immediately stood up and bent down.
“Senior! You are here!”
“senior!”
“senior!”
Looking at the seniors who were respectfully saluting, Liu Chenhao felt that what the senior said just now was not groundless.
Just because of the appearance of one person, the noisy freshman welcome party was instantly quieted down.
Amid the inexplicable tension, Liu Chenhao swallowed.
Gulp.
But unlucky people, even drinking cold water will clog the teeth.
Why do you say that?
Because that senior is now sitting next to himself who is too scared to even lift his head.
‘Ah…why do you have to sit here, senior? ‘
He let out a deep breath with his head down, but the senior handed him a glass.
“Have a drink.”
Didn’t they persuade freshmen to drink bomb soju?
Looking at the ordinary wine glass handed over by the senior, Liu Chenhao thought to himself that this senior was indeed extraordinary.
He took the glass carefully.
‘Hey…Although it’s not that kind of mix, the biggest problem is that I don’t know how to drink…’
No matter how reluctant he was, he couldn’t show it, so Liu Chenhao closed his eyes tightly, and then brought the wine glass to his lips.
He drank the liquid in the cup, his eyes widened.
“Senior, senior, is this soda?”
“Yes.”
The scary senior’s expression was not scary at all, and he even shook the soda bottle in his hand towards him.
“Just drink this with me.”
For some reason, the expression on the senior’s face was as if he saw a friend he hadn’t seen for a long time.
“Then Chen Hao, don’t call him senior, senior, it’s strange to be alienated.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the senior poured soda into the cup again and said kindly.
“You can call me big brother from now on. “
“what?”
“Can’t you?”
‘Huh?’
Liu Chenhao was so frightened that he woke up for a moment, and then his eyes met the sincere eyes of the senior.
So Liu Chenhao straightened up and answered loudly.
“No, no, brother!”
Ok?
The word “big brother” is actually very easy to pronounce, which surprised Liu Chenhao.
‘ By the way… I didn’t tell my seniors my name, did I?’
He clearly felt a little puzzled, but Liu Chenhao didn’t know how to speak.
At this moment, the senior in front of him stretched out his wine glass to Liu Chenhao.
“Then, cheers!”
For some reason, Liu Chenhao felt that the other party’s smile was no stranger.
For some reason, there was a soreness in his nose.
Obviously there are all kinds of things he doesn’t understand, but at the moment he doesn’t want to think about it, he just wants to savor the joy of seeing old friends.
“Okay! Big brother, cheers!”
***
Liu Chenhao’s dissatisfied voice came from the receiver.
“Ah, big brother, why are you alone today?”
Cheng Jin-Woo answered with a full smile.
“I have something to do today, by the way, Chen Hao.”
“What’s the matter, brother?”
“I have some important things to do today, so help me answer them in the morning class.”
“Huh? What? Big brother? Big brother one!”
Regardless of the anxious voice on the receiver, Cheng Jin-Woo handsomely and decisively hung up the phone.
beep.
Afterwards, Cheng Jin-Woo raised his head and looked at the hospital in front of him.
Yixin General Hospital in S City.
He is going to meet someone here today.
After Cheng Jin-Woo tidied up his clothes, he raised his legs and walked towards the hospital.
Just a few steps away, a familiar face suddenly walked by.
She didn’t want to show it at first, but because her eyes paused for a moment on her face, she turned to Cheng Jin-Woo.
“……?”
It’s Xiaoxi.
A B-level healing hunter who joined the association in order to put his power to use despite his timidity.
Now she looked at Cheng Jin-Woo like an ordinary female college student.
Maybe this look suits her too much, Cheng Jin-Woo laughed unconsciously.
Xiaoxi stared at Cheng Jinyu for a long time, and asked with some embarrassment.
“We… haven’t we met somewhere?”
Words of greeting were on the lips, but Seong Jin-Woo shook his head.
“No.”
Cheng Jin-Woo turned around.
Looking at Cheng Jin-Woo’s back, Xiaoxi tilted her head in doubt, and then left without thinking much.
Hearing the sound of Xiaoxi’s footsteps fading away, a satisfied smile appeared on Cheng Jinwoo’s face.
I guarded it by myself, this peaceful daily life.
These should be their peaceful time.
Occasionally seeing these moments of peace gained through his own sacrifice, Cheng Jin-Woo would feel that everything was so worth it.
so……
‘This is enough. ‘
that’s it.
Cheng Jin-Woo stood in front of the hospital for a while, then looked down at his burned palm.
If someone asked him about this wound, he would answer like this.
This is a wound made to save the world.
Cheng Jin-Woo thought about it with a smile, and then walked into the hospital slowly.
***
When the attending physician just walked into the ward, the patient on the bed said immediately.
“Can you…help me up?”
The attending physician hurried over and carefully helped the patient sit up.
“thank you.”
However, the attending doctor was surprised that there was a wooden bottle on the table next to the hospital bed that he had never seen before.
“Association President, what is this?”
The patient coughed painfully like a dead tree that was gradually dying.
“Cough… a young man gave it to me just now.”
The attending physician panicked.
This is the VIP ward of the hospital, and there are two strong bodyguards in front of the door.
No one can come in without your permission.
So who actually visited the president and put it here?
“It’s really amazing…but the explanation that the young man gave me was inexplicably convincing…”
He said.
In the time that has disappeared, he and the young man fought monsters side by side.
So as a reward, the young man gave himself this gift.
“Then he just disappeared, like a mirage; like a person who never existed in the first place.”
If it weren’t for this bottle, perhaps the attending physician would not have believed it at all.
But the bottle that was given as a gift was indeed on the table.
The attending physician was still thinking about how to deal with this situation, while the patient pointed to the bottle with trembling hands.
“give it to me.”
