Jiang Yan had a strange dream where he was constantly entangled by strange creatures and...
Chapter 055 Shadow Man-11
“Many… people… are suffering from social phobia…”
"Dizzy..."
"We have to...hide...secretly..."
"Playing dead..."
When they saw a lot of people coming in, the four little paper figures started to get flustered. They wanted to avoid other people's sight, but their anxious hearts made the situation worse.
The tall paper man immediately covered his eyes, trying to cover up his mistake, but he lost his sight while running around on the table, bumped his head against the wall and knocked himself unconscious.
The thin little paper man used his intelligence to turn over a page of the book and stuck himself inside.
The fat paper figure chose to lie flat on the table, like a salted fish that would not turn over. It was obvious that it was pretending to be dead.
There was also a dwarf paper figure, who was probably really dizzy, running around on the table in panic, shouting "Ahhh". In the end, Jiang Yan held him down and put him in the drawer.
Jiang Yan took the three little paper figures on the table and put them in the drawer one by one. There was also a little paper figure hiding in the book, but he couldn't find it for a while, so he ignored it.
Until halfway through the class, when he was distracted and copying the blackboard with a pen, the book suddenly "made a sound".
"Ouch, that hurts."
Jiang Yan looked down and found that the fourth little paper man was hidden on this page.
"Hey, Xiao Ming, there seemed to be some strange sound just now."
Someone in the front row heard it and turned to ask his deskmate. His deskmate stayed up late playing games last night, with dark circles under his eyes, and said dazedly: "It might be the sound of my stomach."
Jiang Yan was about to grab the fourth paper figure and put it into the drawer before anyone noticed, but the skinny paper figure was concentrating on looking up at the blackboard, which was covered with densely packed math formulas and several math problems.
Then, something shocking happened.
This little paper man actually understood what the teacher was saying, and even grabbed one of Jiang Yan's pencils to solve the questions he had written in his exercise book.
"Hmm...it should be like this..." the thin little paper man muttered as he wrote.
Jiang Yan opened his mouth slightly into an "o" shape, and the next second, he heard the math teacher calling him to stand up and answer a question.
"The student in the last row by the window, yes, that's you, please stand up and answer this question."
Jiang Yan stood up somewhat stiffly, but he soon realized that the question on the blackboard was the one that the little paper man had answered just now. He exhaled slowly, took the answer written by the little paper man on the exercise book and began to read, "Squared number sinx..."
After finishing reading, the teacher on the stage was slightly surprised, because Jiang Yan's grades were not very good, and he was always at the bottom of the class, especially in mathematics.
Could it be that this child has finally come to his senses?
That’s right, after all, the college entrance examination is coming soon.
The teacher was pleased and smiled: "Student Jiang Yan answered very well. Students, the college entrance examination is coming soon, we should not give up, we should be like this student Jiang Yan, maybe his past few exam results are not ideal, but the teacher feels that he is working hard."
Jiang Yan's cheeks turned red when he was praised by the teacher for the first time. He sat down amid the applause of his classmates.
The applause was led by Bai Xiaokui, the only girl in the class that the teacher knew. It was obvious that the teacher was very satisfied with this warm scene. However, some people also took this opportunity to whisper:
"Hey, was there this person in our class before?"
"I don't remember. It seems like he doesn't exist. I don't think I've ever talked to him."
"Oh, that sounds familiar. Isn't he the guy we discussed last time who has been with Mengtang for a long time?"
In the second half of the class, Jiang Yan listened attentively for once. For the first time, he filled up his notes. However, he felt that this was of no use to him because he still didn't understand many things.
Fortunately, there was a wise little paper man who answered his questions throughout the whole process. Jiang Yan felt a little embarrassed to say the least.
As a parent, I am useless.
"It's okay, Mommy, just learn more. Mommy is a very smart mommy." The little paper man stood on the textbook and tilted his head to look at Jiang Yan. After saying that, he felt that something was missing, so he gave Jiang Yan a thumbs up gesture.
Jiang Yan forced a smile with difficulty, "Okay."
“But I’m not sure about the questions at the end either. I haven’t learned this far yet.” The little paper man shook his head in frustration.
Jiang Yan reached out and touched the little paper man's head, revealing a gentle smile: "No, you are already great." Really.
The little paper man had tears in his eyes, and the tears on his face were obvious. He held Jiang Yan's fingers with gratitude and rubbed them with his wet little head: "Mommy, you are so kind. I love you."
"I love you too."
Jiang Yan felt that she had already integrated into the role of "mother", although she still felt extremely ashamed when she occasionally thought about it.
"I'm a little sleepy. Mommy, I'm going to sleep first."
"good."
***
After class, a strange classmate came to the class.
"Jiang Yan, the teacher wants you to go to the warehouse to get something. Go quickly. The administrator is waiting for you inside. Just report Teacher X's name."
"ah?"
Jiang Yan was a little confused, but the classmate who passed the message at the front door ran away after speaking, without giving him a chance to ask any more questions.
By the way, why did the teacher ask him to go?
Isn’t the squad leader here?
Jiang Yan was very confused, and his intuition told him that this might be a trap. After all, he was a person with no sense of existence, and it was a surprise that the math teacher remembered him this time.
Maybe it's my cousin again.
Jiang Yan sat in his seat for a long time, and finally he decided to go. After all, he couldn't avoid what was coming, and he would still have to face his cousin's "torture" when he returned home.
It’s better to finish things during the day, at least you can have a good rest at night.
Jiang Yan stood up and was stopped by Bai Xiaokui when he was about to leave.
Bai Xiaokui was chatting with her deskmate and didn't hear the sound of the front door, so when she saw Jiang Yan was about to leave and the next class was about to start, she asked, "Class is about to start, where are you going?"
Facing the only sincere girl in the class, Jiang Yan answered truthfully: "Someone just asked me to go to the warehouse."
"Warehouse? Which warehouse?"
"Number seven."
"Ah? I remember this warehouse has been shut down."
"Oh, I don't know."
Bai Xiaokui's words made Jiang Yan even more convinced that this was his cousin's conspiracy, and the other party must have come up with some trick to play a trick on him.
"Oh, it's my cousin Jiang Nao. He asked me to go to the warehouse. I don't know what he asked me to do specifically, but he was in such a hurry, so he must have something important to tell me." Jiang Yan said casually.
Bai Xiaokui said "Oh" and muttered, "What cousin? Can't you change the time?"
Jiang Yan smiled and walked out of the classroom.
A few minutes later.
Jiang Yan came to the warehouse, which was in a teaching building that had been abandoned for a long time.
Rumor has it that someone jumped off the building, and of course some people say that the teaching building is haunted, but of course the exact truth is unknown.
Fortunately, it was daytime here, and Jiang Yan was indeed a little afraid of ghosts. He stood at the door of the warehouse and took a deep breath. The lock of the door had been rusted for many years, so he pushed the door open easily.
The four little paper men were still sleeping in the drawer, so Jiang Yan came alone.
"Ginger noise?"
"Didn't you come to ask me to come? Where are you? What tricks are you planning to play this time?"
It was very dark inside the warehouse. Jiang Yan hesitated before going in. He first walked along the wall for a short distance, originally trying to find the light bulb switch. He found it later, but the light was broken.
At this moment, a flashlight shone towards him. Jiang Yan subconsciously shielded his eyes with his hands, and through the gaps between his fingers he saw several people walking towards him.
Cousin Jiang Nao, campus leader Lu Hui and his little followers.
"Hi, long time no see."
The first person to speak was Lu Hui, who had a mouthful of white teeth and a hearty smile.
Jiang Nao's face darkened as he stared at Lu Hui who was smiling brightly beside him. "Why are you smiling at him so happily? I've never seen you like this before."
Lu Hui touched the back of his head and said, "No, I'm here to deal with your cousin for you. I'm just happy for you."
In fact, he discovered that Jiang Yan looked very similar to the anchor he liked, although he had never noticed this before.
Especially one time when he passed by Jiang Yan's classroom, he accidentally found Jiang Yan after taking off his glasses. He looked like a completely different person. At that time, he stood at the back door and stared at Jiang Yan for a long time without even noticing it.
Ever since he saw Jiang Yan taking off his glasses, school bully Lu Hui's mind always had Jiang Yan's face appearing, sometimes mixed with the appearance of the female online anchor whom he had been secretly in love with for a long time.
Wait, Xianxian is a cross-dresser, he is actually a man, a high school student, and his IP address is also in this area.
Lu Hui touched his chin and he actually had the thought, “Could these two people be the same person?”
"What's up? Are you going to fight again?"
Jiang Yan's emotionless voice interrupted Lu Hui's thoughts. He raised his eyebrows and said, "If you were a little more obedient, the brothers wouldn't always cause trouble for you."
Jiang Yan frowned, "Don't talk so much nonsense, just do it quickly."
Jiang Nao chuckled, "What on earth did you use to get along so well with Meng Tang? What is your relationship? I really didn't expect that he would be friends with someone like you."
Jiang Nao gnashed his teeth more and more as he spoke. He hated his cousin, so he naturally couldn't stand Jiang Yan making friends with such an outstanding person. In his eyes, Jiang Yan should be a transparent person, only worthy of being a thing for his amusement.
But now, Jiang Yan can actually start making friends. This makes Jiang Nao very unhappy!
"Oh, but that's none of your business."
Jiang Yan said expressionlessly, "If there is nothing else, I will leave first."
As soon as he took a step, he was stopped by Lu Hui. Jiang Yan frowned and was about to speak when the other party suddenly came closer and sniffed him like a dog.
Jiang Yan's expression was full of disgust, and he waved his hand and said, "Get lost."
Lu Hui did not give in, but said slowly: "The more I look at you, the more I think you are like one person."
Jiang Yan didn't understand, but Jiang Nao did. "You mean he looks like the female anchor you like? They are both different genders."
Jiang Nao knew that Lu Hui had always liked a female online anchor, and he gave all the money he earned from working to this anchor.
At first he didn't quite understand why Lu Hui was so crazy about someone on the Internet, until later he saw a few photos of the female anchor named Xianxian, and he found that she did have a seductive face.
However, Jiang Nao always thought that it was a woman. After all, he didn’t watch the live broadcast very often, and Lu Hui never clarified it.
"Maybe I'm overthinking it."
Lu Hui said this, but his hands were dishonest and tried to take off Jiang Yan's glasses, but the other party dodged him, which made him unhappy, so he just forced himself on him.
"Don't touch me."
Jiang Yan shook off Lu Hui's hand and tried to go out, but the exit was blocked by his followers.
At this time, Jiang Nao also showed a malicious smile: "Don't be in a hurry to leave, let's play for a while."
“Ring, ring, ring…”
The class bell rang, but the people in front of me showed no intention of going back.
It seems that I am destined to miss this class.
"Pfft." Jiang Yan suddenly laughed out loud.
Jiang Nao was puzzled, "What are you laughing at?"
Jiang Yan stared at Jiang Nao and said word by word, "Xiao, you are a coward. You wanted to be friends with Meng Tang, but you didn't have the courage. In the end, you could only vent your anger on me."
"——You!" Jiang Nao clenched his fists so hard that they made a loud noise.
Jiang Yan shrugged indifferently.
At this moment, a laughing voice came from the warehouse door.
"What are you guys playing? Can you take me with you?"
A few people turned around and found it was Mengtang.
The strange thing is that Meng Tang obviously has a gentle image and he was smiling at this moment, but Jiang Nao and the others felt him trembling. In the other party's gaze, there was a cold murderous intent hidden in that smile.
"Boss, something seems to be wrong."
A little follower blurted out something.
