Chapter 87: Chunhuahua Kindergarten (Part 7)
Although they already knew that the two children were ghosts and that what happened before seemed to be related to them, everyone still couldn't figure out .
It was already evening, and everyone stayed in the kindergarten to have dinner. Parents and children sat at the small dining table, and laughter flowed everywhere.
Qiao Yuan has discovered that between Qiao Buyan and Sang Miao, Qiao Buyan is obviously the one who talks more, while Sang Miao actually speaks very little, and even reveals a hint of aloofness when silent.
But this time, it was Qiao Buyan who remained silent. He looked at the child sitting next to Qiao Yuan, and after a long silence, he finally spoke slowly: "Who is this?"
"Sheng Guiye, male, six years old." Qiao Yuan turned to look at Sheng Guiye who was sitting next to him and introduced him.
Now the four of them were sitting face to face, Qiao Buyan and Sang Miao sitting together, while Qiao Yuan and Sheng Guiye were sitting together.
Sheng Guiye also greeted him politely, obviously agreeing with Qiao Yuan's introduction. He adapted quickly, and now he has completely restrained his capitalist feeling, and looks like a child with a slightly mature temperament.
Sang Miao still remembered Sheng Guiye: "You are one of the three kids who got together with Yuanyuan before, right?"
"This Buddhist rosary, do you believe in this?"
Facing Sang Miao, Sheng Guiye answered neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Yes."
“Not because of faith.”
Sang Miao was not angry at Sheng Guiye's brief answer, because she had already seen that this child was simply not good at speaking.
However, Qiao Buyan was not so tolerant. He motioned Qiao Yuan to come closer and whisper: "Why is he the only one here? Where are the other two?"
He also remembered that there were three children who had a good relationship with Qiao Yuan. When they invited Qiao Yuan to dinner, they saw the four of them gathered together again.
Qiao Yuan: "They were all taken to dinner by their respective parents, and they might have sat somewhere else. But Sheng Guiye's parents left early because of something urgent. I thought it would be too lonely for him to eat alone, so he sat with me."
Of course, there are deeper reasons for the latter.
She had just overheard two teachers chatting and learned that there were two online computers in the children's library, so she found Sheng Guiye, thinking that he was doing related work and wondered if she could find more information using the computer. She always felt that she had overlooked something.
Qiao Buyan snorted coldly: "They are all excuses."
Qiao Yuan: “…”
This is indeed an excuse. One can only say that old people are more experienced than old ones. Qiao Buyan actually figured it out so quickly...
Qiao Buyan smiled proudly: "Because I also used this excuse when I was a child."
Qiao Yuan: ???
You've done the same thing!
Qiao Buyan didn't notice the indescribable look Qiao Yuan gave him, as if he was lost in memories: "At that time, your mother and I were in the same kindergarten and had many mutual friends."
"Your mother was very popular in kindergarten, and even among our mutual friends there were many people who had a crush on her."
Qiao Yuan: "...you were only six years old at most at that time."
Qiao Buyan was already immersed in beautiful memories. His originally charming face showed a bit of innocence at this moment: "That's right, but I will seize the opportunity. When others know how to win her attention by giving toys and flowers, I will create opportunities for me to be alone. At that time, your mother didn't eat at the kindergarten, but one day she made an exception because it was the kindergarten's visiting day and parents had to come and accompany their children."
"Your mother was also eating with her parents. Others were afraid of the adults and didn't dare to come forward . Only I sent your grandparents away and asked your mother if she could sit next to her."
"I had a great chat with her mother..."
Here Sheng Guiye is chatting with Sang Miao.
Sang Miao: "So you like programming very much? And you occasionally read financial news?"
Sheng Guiye: “Yeah.”
Sang immediately became interested: "Wow, it's rare to see such a young child like these. What songs do you like to listen to and what movies do you like to watch?"
Sheng Guiye: "I don't watch these. I don't usually pay much attention to the entertainment industry."
Sang Miao smiled in understanding: "I thought kids your age usually have their favorite stars, but Yuanyuan likes a certain female star very much and even said that she wants to be a star in the future..."
The sound temporarily drowned out the sound of Joe's whispering.
Qiao Yuan: "Are you okay?"
Qiao Buyan: "Of course, I can still bear it... No, what does this have to do with me?"
"Let's go back to that year. I had been paying attention to your mother and found out that she liked that dish. I happened to have it, so I gave it to her..."
Sheng Guiye just finished talking with Sang Miao and handed a small bowl to Qiao Yuan: "I see you like this very much, you can eat it, I haven't touched it."
Qiao Buyan finally couldn't stand it anymore, raised his hand and grabbed the bowl that Sheng Guiye handed over: "Don't learn it now."
Sheng Guiye looked at Qiao Buyan in confusion.
Although most people were in the restaurant next door, the lights in the teaching building were still on, which made Wang Xiaoyang feel much more at ease as he walked in the corridor. Moreover—
Her eyes fell on He Ze in front of her, and he was here to accompany her.
Time went back to more than ten minutes ago. When she was waiting in line for food with her parents, He Ze suddenly found her and said that he had something to share with her. Then he told her the reason why they were being targeted.
Because I didn't bring my graduation badge.
According to He Ze, as players, they have more restrictions than other NPCs, and once they violate a rule, they will be targeted by ghosts. According to his research, they were targeted because they did not bring their badges.
Each child was given a badge at the graduation ceremony, and the other children basically put it on on the spot. As they were essentially adults, they didn't care about this matter at all, so none of the four of them brought it, which led to them being targeted one after another.
Moreover, the two ghosts had obviously made some moves. According to his previous experience, if they did not wear the badges, they would be the next to see the ghosts.
Although Wang Xiaoyang was confused, she understood the meaning of "I'm about to see a ghost" and her face turned pale. She wanted to take out her badge, but she couldn't find it after searching all over her body.
This made Wang Xiaoyang's emotions tense to the extreme: "Where is my badge?"
He Ze: "Oh no, I think I lost mine too."
"The director said it was specially made, and each person only has one."
"Where have you been? Let's go find out."
He Ze's words undoubtedly pointed her in a clear direction. The other party even lost his badge, which was just right for him to accompany her, which made her nod quickly, as if she was afraid that the other party would go back on his word.
Because he was too anxious, Wang Xiaoyang didn't even think of telling Qiao Yuan and Sheng Guiye about this matter. His mind was full of wanting to find the badge as soon as possible.
She didn't want to see a ghost.
The two of them followed Wang Xiaoyang's memory and searched all the way back, and finally arrived at the teaching building.
As his memory returned, Wang Xiaoyang looked at the nearly empty teaching building and began to back out again: "How about...how about just forget it? I think those two ghosts didn't hurt us, so there shouldn't be any problem. Or should we ask Qiao Yuan and the others to come over?"
At this time, she finally thought of Qiao Yuan.
As soon as she finished speaking, He Ze, who was walking in front, said, "There are still 36 hours before we can leave the dungeon. Anything can happen during this time."
"They are ghosts after all. They are capable of doing anything. And the sooner we get the badge, the sooner we can get rid of the ghosts."
Although the other party's childish voice did not sound threatening, it still made Wang Xiaoyang nervous. He continued walking and soon caught up with He Ze.
There were only the sounds of their footsteps in the corridor. Wang Xiaoyang felt more at ease when she occasionally glanced at He Ze's profile. Although He Ze had shown that he disliked her before, now that they both lost their badges, they were like grasshoppers on the same rope.
To distract herself, Wang Xiaoyang also told He Ze about her real-life experiences. Her father was a senior executive of a group, and her mother was a housewife. Because of health problems, she was their only child, and her parents often said that she was the face of both of them. They did not allow her to make mistakes in public, which made her somewhat afraid to socialize with others, and even more afraid to try new things. After all, if she made a slight mistake or failed in a social setting, she would always think of her parents' punishment when she got home at night.
After graduation, she was finally able to get away from her parents, rented a house and worked as a writer for a public account run by a friend. She didn't have to socialize with anyone except her only friend. If it wasn't for her friend's boyfriend who wanted to introduce him to her, she wouldn't have gone out that day.
But fortunately, after entering the copy, she was glad that there was someone accompanying her to go through this matter with her.
Maybe because he was moved by what she said, He Ze's words were not as sarcastic as before: "I heard there is a single-player copy, what are you going to do?"
Single player copy?
Wang Xiaoyang subconsciously refused to think about it: "Can I choose a multiplayer instance?"
"Or is there an option to form a team, so that the four of us can go through other dungeons together later?"
He Ze did not answer her, but pointed to one of the classrooms and said that this was where he had stayed before.
Wang Xiaoyang immediately followed into the classroom. They had agreed to look for the badge together, so she had to help He Ze. Even if they were in the same classroom, she didn't like to be too far away from others, as if they would disappear in the blink of an eye.
But the two people were too close to each other, and the search efficiency was very low.
After being told by He Ze once, Wang Xiaoyang was afraid of being abandoned by him, so she had to make some changes and keep some distance from He Ze to look for him. But because she was facing away from He Ze, she had to turn her head or observe through the reflection in the window from time to time to see if the figure was still with her in the classroom.
He Ze was a quiet person when he was looking for something, so Wang Xiaoyang could only endure it. After flipping through the books a few times, she subconsciously glanced at the reflection in the window and found a figure walking down from the podium.
Wang Xiaoyang felt relieved, thinking that He Ze was going to look for him somewhere else in the classroom.
She took a few steps and suddenly realized the problem -
Why was He Ze walking just now...
No sound?!
