Chapter 161 Guardian (XIX)
Realizing that Zou Lu had noticed his gaze and turned to look at him, Qiao Yuan averted his gaze first.
"Cheng Xiao's incident also sounded the alarm for us. We have to be more careful next time." Because of the habits brought by his identity in the real world, Yang Zhe was the one who made the final summary: "Also pay more attention to Su Zeyuan. Maybe like the previous ghost, this ghost's target is both Su Zeyuan and us."
"But there are only a few days left. I believe that as long as we work hard, we will be able to get out together."
Experienced players knew that the second half of Yang Zhe's words was just to comfort Uncle Man and Zou Lu, so that they would not be too devastated and hopeless. After all, there were some novice players in the game who felt that there was no hope of passing the game, and directly disrupted the dungeon with the idea of letting everyone die together, thus causing trouble for other players.
For example, now, Qiao Yuan noticed that because Uncle Man and Zou Lu’s reactions were too obvious, some classmates had already looked over curiously.
Uncle Man was indeed comforted by these words, and nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice, while Zou Lu still looked anxious, but he finally stopped trembling.
Seeing that the class bell was about to ring, Sheng Yegui, Zou Lu and other players returned to their respective classes.
This class is self-study.
If it had happened before, because we knew that the teacher in charge of self-study would walk into the classroom shortly after the bell rang, the classroom would remain quiet after the bell rang. But this time it was unusual, as there were still whispers until a long time after the bell rang.
Although the students in the classroom did not know that Cheng Xiao was dead, they sensed something from the empty seat and the late arrival of the self-study teacher.
The classmates' gazes looking back made Qiao Yuan's look towards Su Zeyuan less conspicuous.
Su Zeyuan still maintained the same posture as before the class, and even the thickness of the book had not changed much. Qiao Yuan initially thought that he was sad because of Cheng Xiao's death. After all, he was the kind of person who felt sad when Wang Hao, who had bullied him, died, not to mention that his relationship with Cheng Xiao was better than Wang Hao's.
But when Qiao Yuan looked over, he found that Su Zeyuan's expression did not look very sad. Instead, he seemed to be thinking about something.
Qiao Yuan could only share this discovery with the system: "Strange, he actually doesn't care about other people's life and death?"
System: [It should be the combined effect of environmental factors and human factors. 】
Qiao Yuan:?
Sensing Qiao Yuan's doubts, the system directly pointed out this time: [An environment where people always die, and a person who is more terrifying than him.]
The former of course refers to the deceased Wang Hao, Duan Chao and others, while the latter refers to Qiao Yuan.
The system witnessed several times that Qiao Yuan acted more confused and scared than he was in front of Su Zeyuan, which made Su Zeyuan temporarily forget his own emotions and comfort her instead. It felt that if this happened a few more times, Su Zeyuan would be completely desensitized from the state of the Holy Father.
Qiao Yuan suddenly realized: "It turns out that this is all my credit."
The system really wanted to say that it was not actually praising Qiao Yuan.
However, the system also reminded Qiao Yuan that Su Zeyuan had taken the initiative to find her after class, as if he wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Cheng Xiao's sudden abnormality, and Su Zeyuan did not mention it again afterwards.
Qiao Yuan didn't bother to guess what the other party wanted to say. According to her understanding of Su Zeyuan, given their current relationship, as long as she asked, he would definitely answer.
This is indeed the case.
After class, Qiao Yuan went straight to find Su Zeyuan.
When Qiao Yuan stood beside him, Su Zeyuan seemed to come back to his senses, and turned his eyes away the moment he looked at Qiao Yuan. When he heard Qiao Yuan's question, he was silent for a while, but finally said, "I... I just want to ask why you were alone at that time, and where did classmate Sheng go."
"But later I saw classmate Sheng coming back with food in his hand. It turned out that he went to buy food for you..."
His voice got lower and lower.
Only then did Qiao Yuan remember that he had not had time to eat.
No, that's not the point.
Before Su Zeyuan finished speaking, Qiao Yuan heard a sound like breaking air behind him.
She didn't have time to turn her head and subconsciously reached out to Su Zeyuan.
Su Zeyuan was caught off guard and fell to the side under Qiao Yuan's force. However, when he landed, he subconsciously hugged Qiao Yuan and held her in his arms, falling to the ground before Qiao Yuan.
A second before the two fell to the ground, they both felt a gust of wind brushing past their cheeks, bringing a burning pain, followed by a "clang" sound, which landed on the spot where Su Zeyuan had just sat.
Qiao Yuan finally saw clearly what had attacked him from behind.
It turned out to be the blade of a fan.
Judging from the depth of the fan blades inserted into the table, if Qiao Yuan and Su Zeyuan had not fallen to the side at that time, the fan would have cut Su Zeyuan's neck by now.
Qiao Yuan turned her head and looked at the ceiling behind her. Where the fan used to be, now there was only a bare pole. But you have to know that the fan on the ceiling is several rows away from them, so even if it falls, it is impossible for it to fall here.
The students who were originally sitting under the fan also sat there in a daze, looking as if they had not yet come to their senses.
As soon as Qiao Yuan stood up from the ground, he felt that there was someone beside him.
A figure rushed to Qiao Yuan first. She thought it was Song Yanchi, but she didn't expect that the voice she heard was not Song Yanchi's: "Are you okay?"
Qiao Yuan looked over.
The other person was wearing a school uniform, with outstanding features and a handsome face, but he did not look rough. Instead, he exuded a sense of nobility. Her current appearance was reflected in his dark pupils, and his face showed concern.
Qiao Yuan: “…”
The question is, who is this person who suddenly appeared?
Qiao Yuan took a step back calmly, distanced himself from the stranger, and asked in confusion, "Who are you..."
After hearing what Qiao Yuan said, the other party seemed to have realized what was happening and put away his hand: "Sorry, I just noticed some movement over here, so I came over to take a look."
"My name is Xu Yunchuan. I saw you fall. Are you okay?"
When hearing Xu Yunchuan's name, some students around him took a breath of cold air. After hearing his name, Qiao Yuan finally realized who the person in front of him was.
She had seen this name once in Wang Hao's chat history. He was the person Wang Hao had always noted as the boss.
Qiao Yuan also had the impression that Xu Yunchuan was a cold person, but he didn't expect that in some ways, he was actually quite enthusiastic.
Out of politeness, Qiao Yuan replied: "Thank you, I'm fine..."
"Sister!" Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Song Yanchi's sudden voice .
Song Yanchi's voice was the first to be heard, and soon the voices of other players and classmates followed closely.
"Su Zeyuan!"
"Qiao Yuan? Su Zeyuan?!"
Although players such as Song Yanchi and Yang Zhe had been paying attention to the situation on Qiao Yuan and Su Zeyuan's side, no one expected that the electric fan on the ceiling would suddenly fall off and directly attack Qiao Yuan and Su Zeyuan, so fast that they didn't even have time to issue a warning.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, Qiao Yuan and Su Zeyuan escaped.
The players and some classmates seemed to come to their senses and quickly gathered forward to check the situation.
These people's words also drew Qiao Yuan's attention back to Su Zeyuan.
She didn't expect that Su Zeyuan would take the initiative to hold her up and put him under her when she fell.
Qiao Yuan now only hoped that the other party would not be injured by the fan blades in the end, but instead suffer a concussion from the fall, which would be...
Fortunately, Su Zeyuan looked fine except for blushing. At this time, the other party had stood up with the help of a table beside him, and was also looking at the fan blades beside him, his face pale. When he heard Qiao Yuan ask him if he was okay, he was able to answer clearly: "Don't worry, I'm fine."
"I'm glad you're not hurt."
Just as Qiao Yuan was about to breathe a sigh of relief, she noticed someone's eyes were on her and Su Zeyuan.
She turned her head and found that the gaze came from Xu Yunchuan.
To be more precise, the other person's gaze fell on Su Zeyuan, and the critical and scrutinizing look in his eyes was hard to ignore.
