Chapter 159 Guardian (Seventeen)
The other party's reply was too late, and the news of Wang Hao's death was no longer a secret, so Qiao Yuan thought about it and finally did not send the message.
However, the message sent by the other party also reminded her that the battery light on her mobile phone had turned red.
After getting Wang Hao's mobile phone, Song Yanchi found the power bank that Wang Hao had secretly hidden in his dormitory a few days later. In addition, he saved the power of his mobile phone and finally managed to hold on until now.
Thinking that the power in the power bank was almost used up, in order to save electricity, she temporarily turned off the power bank, and then walked out of the bathroom cubicle and returned to the classroom.
As soon as she entered the classroom, Qiao Yuan felt a gaze on her. It was neither as passionate as Song Yanchi's, which was hard to ignore, nor as gentle as Sheng Yegui's, but she felt as if she was wrapped in it. The gaze was cautious and tentative, and the moment he noticed her looking at him, he quickly retracted it.
It’s Su Zeyuan.
With the death of the ghost disguised as Shi Jingyan, the interactions between Qiao Yuan and Su Zeyuan became less frequent.
As the college entrance examination approached, students' break time was compressed again and again, either being used by teachers or devoted to exercises and test papers, and Su Zeyuan was no exception. In addition, Sheng Yegui was better at socializing than Sheng Guiye, and had a good relationship with Su Zeyuan, so he perfectly integrated into the relationship between Qiao Yuan and Su Zeyuan, greatly shortening the time they originally spent alone.
However, Qiao Yuan approached Su Zeyuan to protect his safety. Even if the ghost was eliminated, there might still be people like Wang Hao who wanted to find trouble. Therefore, in the case that Su Zeyuan did not show any disgust, for her, having one more player walking with Su Zeyuan also meant more safety.
This was not the first time that Su Zeyuan avoided her gaze. After all, he was shy by nature. When he looked into Qiao Yuan's eyes before, he quickly retracted his gaze as if he was burned. This made Qiao Yuan realize for a moment that gazes also have temperature.
Not to mention that Sheng Yegui had already walked in from the next class holding a glass bottle, just blocking her view of Su Zeyuan.
Song Yanchi also came over, and his critical eyes fell on the other person's glass bottle: "Hey, it's the fruit tea you researched again."
After Sheng Yegui discovered that there were various fruits in the school's canteen, he made different fruit teas for Qiao Yuan every day. Although he said it was his first time trying it, the taste of the fruit tea still successfully conquered the players except Song Yanchi.
After Song Yanchi openly made things difficult for Sheng Yegui by saying that he was allergic to both fruit and tea, his drink was replaced with water. In the eyes of others, it was considerate, but in the eyes of Song Yanchi, it was a blatant targeting.
Song Yanchi remembered that he was in the classroom, so he did not forget to lower the volume, but it still caused some commotion. The players were used to it, and when they found out that it was Qiao Yuan's housework again, they quickly looked away. Instead, several students who were sitting nearby turned their heads and looked over curiously.
Fortunately, at this time, the class bell suddenly rang, and Song Yanchi had to end his provocation of Sheng Yegui and watched Sheng Yegui return to his class.
Dinner time is coming soon.
As the college entrance examination is getting closer, fewer and fewer people choose to eat in the cafeteria. In order to save time, most people go to the convenience store to buy some food and bring it back to the classroom to eat while reading.
Since Su Zeyuan
But this time, after the bell rang, he did not get up and leave the classroom like he did before. Facing Qiao Yuan, who habitually asked him to go to the cafeteria together, and Song Yanchi and Sheng Yegui who followed behind him, he just said apologetically that he was a little sleepy and wanted to take a nap during dinner time.
As soon as he finished speaking, he lay down on the table as if he was extremely sleepy, burying his head in his arms, making it impossible for Qiao Yuan to see his expression at the moment.
However, judging from the other party's quick and even breathing, he should have fallen asleep.
Seeing that Su Zeyuan was not going to eat, Qiao Yuan naturally chose to stay in the classroom.
Sheng Yegui took the initiative to offer to buy food for them and bring it back. Song Yanchi was naturally happy to see Sheng Yegui running errands, but after discovering that Qiao Yuan gave Sheng Yegui an admiring look, he also realized the sense of crisis and immediately expressed his willingness to go with him.
Qiao Yuan returned to his seat and waited.
Just then, the overhead light suddenly went out.
With the sound of the classroom door closing, the entire classroom was shrouded in darkness, and Qiao Yuan's vision was also invaded by darkness.
There’s a power outage?
As soon as this thought came to Qiao Yuan's mind, voices rang out in the classroom: "Why did the power suddenly go out?"
"Who closed the door, too?"
"Could it be that Lao Zhang has come up with a new way to check mobile phones..."
"I was working on a question, who turned off the light that illuminated the answer?"
"Wait, I'll go outside and see if there's a power outage..."
…
The chair was pushed away violently, and there was a sharp "rustling" sound, not sure if it was the stool leg or the table leg rubbing against the ground, and there was also a cry of pain from someone hitting something, as if someone was standing up.
But the darkness didn't last long. A cake with candlelight suddenly appeared on the podium. The weak light illuminated several smiling faces on the podium. The other party walked towards Gu Ning holding the cake and said, "Gu Ning, happy birthday! This is the last birthday we spend with you in high school..."
It turned out that a classmate in the classroom had a birthday, so her friends secretly planned all this.
The others also realized this, and everyone's fear and anger at the sudden power outage disappeared and turned into blessings for Gu Ning. Some people even joked that he was able to find a cake shop that delivered to the school, and they didn't know how much effort it took.
I don’t know which boy took the lead, but many people followed suit and sang “Happy Birthday to You”.
As the person involved, Gu Ning looked shy but also touched, and she reminded her classmates to keep their voices down so as not to be discovered by the teacher. Her friends seemed fearless and even urged her to make a wish quickly.
Gu Ning closed his eyes with a smile on his face, clasped his hands together and made a wish. A classmate beside him also closed his eyes, obviously wanting to share in the joy.
Qiao Yuan did not miss the opportunity to make a wish and expressed his wish in his heart.
The system already knew that Qiao Yuan was a typical representative of feudal superstition, with his left eye twitching for wealth and his right eye twitching for wealth, so it was not too shocked by the other party's wish.
Just listening to Qiao Yuan's increasingly long list, it couldn't help but ask: [...Are you reading the terms or making a wish? ]
After a few minutes, the other party had already read out the 21st wish.
After hearing the system's voice, Qiao Yuan stopped and sighed in his heart: "Because I have never celebrated my birthday like this before..."
The system understands why some humans want to wake up in the middle of the night, slap themselves, and say "I deserve to die."
Qiao Yuan: "I spent all of them at home."
"If that's too much, it would be nice to achieve the first longevity."
system:【……】
After being with Qiao Yuan for so long, it still forgot the important thing of not having too much sympathy for the other party, otherwise it would not have been fooled again and again.
Qiao Yuan was in a good mood after making a wish, and her eyes soon fell on Su Zeyuan who was sitting next to Gu Ning.
Gu Ning was sitting right next to Su Zeyuan. With the faint candlelight, Qiao Yuan noticed that Su Zeyuan had also woken up and seemed to be making a pious wish with his eyes closed.
However, Gu Ning was faster and blew out the candle quickly after making a wish.
After the candles were blown out, the overhead light was turned on by the classmate standing next to the switch, preparing for Gu Ning to cut the cake.
Because they had just fallen into a brief darkness, the lights were extremely dazzling when they came on again. Even Qiao Yuan subconsciously closed her eyes and waited a few seconds before opening them, only to find Su Zeyuan walking towards her.
Qiao Yuan felt that Su Zeyuan seemed to have something to say to her.
However, before Su Zeyuan could get close, there was a sudden commotion among the crowd.
Qiao Yuan looked in the direction where the voice came from, only to see Gu Ning frowning, holding his shoulder in pain, his eyes red, and a cake overturned on the ground next to him.
The classmates around her were frantically trying to comfort Gu Ning, looking towards the door and shouting indignantly: "Cheng Xiao, why did you suddenly come over here?"
"Exactly. You didn't apologize for bumping into people and cakes. You didn't do it on purpose, did you?"
"Stop, Gu Ning is about to cry..."
…
It seemed that Cheng Xiao suddenly knocked Gu Ning down, causing public outrage.
Since the biggest crisis was resolved and the players were not real senior high school students, the remaining time in the dungeon was like a vacation for the other players. During this time, Zou Lu and Uncle Man went to the cafeteria to eat dinner, while Tang Huan and Yang Zhe went outside to get some fresh air, so only Qiao Yuan and Cheng Xiao were left in the classroom.
Qiao Yuan still remembered that Cheng Xiao had been sitting at his seat studying and had yelled angrily because of the sudden power outage.
However, Cheng Xiao now turned his back to everyone and walked towards the classroom door, turning a deaf ear to everyone's anger.
Qiao Yuan realized the problem.
Although Cheng Xiao is at an impulsive age, he is not a bad person by nature. He would not do something like knocking Gu Ning down or stealing his cake just because he is angry.
And she soon noticed one thing—
Cheng Xiao's walking posture was very stiff and he looked taller than before.
After looking down, Qiao Yuan quickly understood the reason.
The other person actually walked on his toes, with the back of his foot bent exaggeratedly like a ballet dancer. Although Qiao Yuan had heard that the height of adolescent boys changed every day, he had never heard of a change every few minutes.
You have to know that this is considered a very difficult dance move. Cheng Xiao has no dance foundation at all, but he can maintain this walking posture all the time, not to mention that he is wearing sneakers.
Qiao Yuan had already vaguely guessed something.
"Hey, why are you still moving forward? Can't you hear what we just said?!" The classmate who was close to Cheng Xiao couldn't stand his reaction, so he rushed forward, grabbed Cheng Xiao's shoulder, and shouted angrily.
