Chapter 22 Surprise Gift

When Jiang Liyue went out today, she ran into Lin Xi again, just like yesterday morning.

She looked very unwell, with a haggard face and pale lips, and her legs seemed a little unnatural when she walked.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Liyue walked over to her naturally and asked casually.

Lin Xi looked exhausted: "Don't even mention it. I went out to investigate last night and encountered a bunch of weird things. If the leader hadn't suddenly left, I probably wouldn't have made it back. I even lost two B-grade items. I really lost out this time."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Liyue felt relieved that she hadn't gone out casually last night.

She's a newbie, and she doesn't have any B-grade items. Who knows what she might encounter?

As for the "Strange Encounters and Strange Loves" halo, Jiang Liyue still doesn't know how it works, and she doesn't dare to gamble on it.

"How did you get back to your dorm?" Jiang Liyue asked, tilting her head.

"I climbed up from the balcony," Lin Xi said with a smug smile. "I've trained before."

"This is the same route as Pei Ji," Jiang Liyue thought to herself.

The two walked and talked, but since they were only nodding acquaintances, they didn't reveal much information to each other.

Soon they arrived at the dormitory entrance, and Jiang Liyue greeted the dormitory supervisor as usual.

Turning her head to meet Lin Xi's shocked gaze, she tilted her head and asked, "What's wrong?"

"How come you're so close to the dorm supervisor?" Lin Xi asked enviously. "She almost ate me when I talked to her."

When she talks about eating, she means eating in the real physical sense. After witnessing the interaction between Jiang Liyue and the dormitory supervisor, Lin Xi tried to get close to the dormitory supervisor once.

As a result, the other person's head instantly swelled several times its original size, and its mouth split open to behind its ears, revealing a foul-smelling oral cavity, ready to swallow her whole.

Lin Xi was so frightened that she ran away on the spot, and she still has psychological trauma when she sees the dormitory supervisor.

"I think they're all adorable," Jiang Liyue said with a smile, her eyes crinkling. "Even though they all look different, they're all beautiful, aren't they?"

As for the "mysterious encounters and mysterious love" aura, that's her trump card, and she certainly doesn't intend to tell anyone.

They are indeed different, but they are all ugly and scary in their own unique ways.

Listening to Jiang Liyue's relaxed tone and sweet voice, Lin Xi suddenly felt a sense of awe and wonder.

Could Jiang Liyue be a pervert?

[Lin Xi: Deeply shocked.jpg]

I missed my wife Yueyue so much all night, waaaaah!

[The main problem was the constant chases throughout the school last night; there were just too many dramatic scenes.]

Actually, Lin Xi and the other two are very much like the main characters.

I still prefer watching the storyline where Yueyue and the boss are in a romantic relationship.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Liyue tilted her head to look at Lin Xi when she sensed that Lin Xi had stopped moving.

Jiang Liyue has the typical sweet girl look, with every feature exquisite, and her eyes are round and bright, making her look like a finely crafted porcelain doll.

When she tilted her head to look at him, even Lin Xi, a girl, couldn't help but feel her heart flutter.

So cute! Who wouldn't want to own such a beautiful and adorable doll?

Lin Xi quickly shook his head in his mind. It was just a misperception. How could such a beautiful girl be a pervert?

She quickly smiled and said, "It's nothing... Wait, what's that?"

Lin Xi turned her head, and not far away, a tall figure in a school uniform raised his head and swept his cold gaze over her.

Lin Xi suddenly had a terrifying feeling, just like the eerie gaze he had received from the leader the night before.

She trembled, revealing a wary and fearful expression.

Could it be that as time goes on, the monsters will start hunting players during the day just like they do at night?

Lin Xi was startled by her own speculation and quickly turned to look at Jiang Liyue: "Liyue, we..."

However, Jiang Liyue simply waved her hand and said, "Lin Xi, my friend is here to see me. You should go to the classroom first."

As she spoke, she jogged over to Pei Ji. Today, she was also wearing the school uniform of Happiness No. 1 Middle School.

Both of them are very good-looking. Even though they are wearing the same school uniforms as everyone else, they look like they are wearing matching outfits when they stand together.

The next moment, the boy seemed to sense something, glancing in her direction with a terrifying warning, and her legs went weak.

Lin Xi was now absolutely certain that this boy was the most terrifying and eerie person from last night.

But how did Jiang Liyue get so close to him?

Lin Xi watched from afar as Jiang Liyue tilted her head back and seemed to say something to the boy opposite her. The boy looked down, smiled, and handed her the plastic bag in his hand.

Why is it a little sweet?

A strange feeling rose in Lin Xi's heart, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up.

[Haha, is Xing Linxi acting like me? My lips are unconsciously curling up.]

[Lin Xi: I'm totally shipping them!]

[I envy Lin Xi for being able to ship this couple so closely; they're just too sweet!]

[They're not a couple, they're just good friends.]

"What are we having for breakfast?" Jiang Liyue asked with a smile, noticing Pei Ji's gaze was directed at Lin Xi.

Pei Ji finally came to his senses: "It's tofu pudding."

"How did you know I wanted to eat this?" Jiang Liyue asked with a delighted expression, walking and eating alongside him.

Pei Ji gazed at her intently and fervently, oblivious to everything else.

Just as Jiang Liyue had predicted, things became even more dangerous during the day.

By the second period, the entire school was already filled with the smell of blood.

When Jiang Liyue went out into the corridor after class, she noticed that those strange people who had turned into normal people during the day were now also vaguely resembling strange beings.

It's not hard to imagine that in a couple of days, there will be no difference between day and night, and the entire Happiness No. 1 Middle School will become a large hunting ground for the supernatural.

Fortunately, Jiang Liyue was in Class 1, and with Pei Ji around, those strange beings could do nothing except occasionally cast covetous glances at her.

But she knew in her heart that she needed to speed things up.

Jiang Liyue thought of the key to the art room she had received in her dream last night.

But she doesn't even know where the art studio is now.

"Aji, do you know where the art studio is?" Jiang Liyue asked him with a smile.

As the student council president, Pei Ji couldn't possibly be unaware of this information.

Pei Ji was still holding her left hand in one hand, playing with it, his eyes fixed on her with focused and eager gaze.

Hearing this, his eyes narrowed, turning into a scrutinizing gaze, filled with possessiveness and threat: "Why is Yueyue asking this?"

"I was just asking because I was a little bored in class," Jiang Liyue said casually, as if she hadn't noticed his change at all.

Her eyes crinkled with anticipation: "And I quite like drawing, maybe I can draw a portrait of the two of us."

Pei Ji's eyes lit up instantly, and the gloom from before vanished.

"Is Yueyue going to give me a gift?"

Jiang Liyue smiled and affirmed, "Yes, after all, we are best friends, so it's normal for us to exchange gifts."

Pei Ji felt exceptionally happy. He looked at Jiang Liyue solemnly, his eyes filled with undisguised fervent love: "I have also prepared a gift for Yueyue."

"You'll see it very soon, believe me, you'll love it."

A strange gift.

Jiang Liyue recalled that when they first met, Pei Ji said he would give her his heart.

She couldn't imagine what Pei Ji could give her if she stayed in the instance for seven days.

Looks like I need to finish the quest and leave the instance quickly.

Thinking this to herself, Jiang Liyue smiled at him and said, "I'm really looking forward to it!"
