Night Watch

The incident in Class 1's history class was quite a big deal, and even Lu Zhou in Class 7 heard about it.

Of course, fighting with the teacher was just a small matter for the last two classes. What really surprised them was that the two parties in the fight were actually teachers and students from the key class, and one of the protagonists was the oldest student.

That would be much more interesting.

After Lu Zhou understood the whole story, he cursed the teacher for looking for trouble and ran back to Class 1.

The news was not reported until the afternoon. At this time, the last class of the day had already ended and it was time for dinner break.

Shen Anyan had used up all his energy for the day in the history class this morning, and was now sleeping on the table.

Lin Yue and the others had not returned yet, but He Qingtian had finished his meal early and was sitting at his seat doing his homework.

Seeing Lu Zhou coming over, she made a "hush" gesture to him, then pointed at Shen Anyan and whispered, "Be quiet, she's still sleeping."

Lu Zhou nodded and stood a little further away from Chen Anyan before lowering his voice and asking, "Hey, Qingtian, I heard about what happened in your class this morning. Everyone's spreading all sorts of nonsense, so what exactly happened?"

He Qingtian briefly explained what had happened.

Lu Zhou was a little angry after hearing this. "That teacher is really... Well, don't worry, he won't be here for long."

He Qingtian said: "Of course, since the incident has already happened, let's just make it a big deal. We have disliked him for a long time."

The two chatted about this for a while, and Lu Zhou asked, "What's wrong with Shengyan lately? Every time I come over, she's always asleep. And she can't sleep well at school. Why doesn't she ask for leave and go home to sleep?"

He Qingtian couldn't help but glance at the other person. If anyone else had said this, it might have been interpreted as sarcastic. But Lu Zhou, a simple-minded person, probably genuinely believed it.

He Qingtian said: "I don't know either. She should have her own ideas."

Lu Zhou said, "She sleeps all day long. What's going to happen to her? I'll go buy her some..."

He was halfway through his words when he saw a man carrying a lunch box enter the classroom.

Lu Zhou suddenly stopped talking.

The person who came was Gu Cijiang.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little subtle.

Gu Cijiang glanced at the other person, his face showing no obvious emotion. He calmly placed the lunch box on Shen Anyan's table and said to He Qingtian, "I put the food here. When she wakes up, could you remind her to eat it?"

He Qingtian nodded and said "no problem".

Lu Zhou suddenly smiled and said to Gu Cijiang, "Thank you for your help."

Gu Cijiang looked at the other person and said calmly, "You don't need it. It's not for you."

Lu Zhou said, "Oh, there's no need to be so picky. The banquet is my business. I'm far away, so I don't get to attend sometimes. You don't have to worry about it anymore. I'll take care of it."

The atmosphere was stagnant for a moment.

He Qingtian stopped writing and thought to himself, this matter has nothing to do with me, why should I be so nervous?

She glanced at her deskmate who was sleeping soundly beside her, and couldn't help but complain in her heart: You are so comfortable, leaving me alone to face this embarrassing situation.

If it was the old Gu Cijiang, he would have just turned around and left when he encountered this situation. But now it was different.

He asked in return: "Does Shengyan know that her business is your business?"

Lu Zhou's face darkened and he didn't respond.

Gu Cijiang gave a gentle smile.

"I don't care what your relationship with her is, but what I'm sure of is that Shengyan is very willing to let my affairs become hers, so..."

He returned the words the other party had said earlier exactly as they were spoken.

"You don't have to worry about it anymore. I'll do it."

Gu Cijiang left after saying those words.

Lu Zhou looked upset. He stared at the lunch box the other person had brought for a while, wanting very much to throw away this disgusting and smelly thing.

But because He Qingtian was still sitting in front of him, he couldn't do anything as cheap as a green tea girl, so he had to swallow his anger and make amends for himself.

"Feast will definitely not like to eat these," he said.

He Qingtian was a little embarrassed. After thinking about it, she decided to go along with the other party: "Well, it should be."

Lu Zhou was delighted. "Hmph, what does he know? I'll go buy another feast."

So when Shen Anyan woke up, he saw that there was suddenly a lot of food on his table.

She was about to stretch but immediately retracted it.

"...What are these?"

Shen Anyan pointed at the pile of food and asked a little confusedly.

He Qingtian said, "Uh, the rice topped with toppings was given by Gu Cijiang, and the rest was brought by Lu Zhou."

Chen Anyan looked at the dazzling array of boxed lunches and snacks that almost took up half of her table, and held her forehead with a tired look.

"Do they think I'm a glutton and can handle so much food?"

Lin Yue turned around, tasting a small piece of cake in his hand.

"Oh, Lu Zhou not only gave it to you, but also gave milk tea and cake to our entire class. Hehe, they're quite delicious. I'm really indebted to you this time."

Shen Anyan looked around and saw that almost everyone had a piece of cake in their hands, it was like they were having a New Year's Eve party.

She felt something was wrong. Where would she put the teacher who supervised the evening study session if they were so rampant?

Shen Anyan looked towards the podium and saw the political teacher also drinking a cup of milk tea. He met her eyes and pointed at the small cake beside him with a smile.

...Then it's okay.

After the evening study session, Shen Anyan waited for the students to leave, and only turned off the power after confirming that no one would come back.

The classroom was suddenly plunged into darkness.

Shen Anyan tiptoed to a seat in the corner and sat down. The front row was next to the window, and with the moonlight, she could see a little more clearly. However, the light coming through the window just missed her, so she wouldn't be easily spotted.

Shen Anyan leaned back in her chair, closed her eyes, and listened to the noise outside the classroom. She had slept enough during the day and was now very energetic. She didn't feel sleepy even with her eyes closed.

Not long after, footsteps were heard in the corridor.

Shen Anyan opened his eyes instantly.

So early?

She was a little surprised.

But the footsteps were steady and calm, not like the sound of a guilty thief. Shen Anyan listened carefully and found that the footsteps seemed to be heading towards his class.

The back door was pushed open, and Shen Anyan turned around to look.

Under the moonlight, the tall figure of the young man was clearly outlined, exactly the one Shen Anyan was familiar with.

It’s He Qingtian.

The other party didn't seem surprised. She walked into the classroom and closed the door casually.

"Why are you still in the classroom?" He Qingtian walked up to Shen Anyan and sat next to him.

Shen Anyan said: "Shouldn't I be the one asking you this? It's almost twelve o'clock, why are you back in the classroom?"

He Qingtian said, "It's all because of you. You've been leaving late and coming in early these past few days, and you've been dozing off every day. I was planning to come to the classroom tonight to take a look, and now I've caught you red-handed."

Since he had already been discovered by the other party, Shen Anyan did not intend to hide it and told the other party his plan.

He Qingtian seemed to be thinking deeply: "That makes sense, and it's a solution. But Xiaoyan, professional matters should be left to professionals. You could even talk to the school about hiring a private detective. If you can't catch that guy, are you prepared to endure this every day?"

Shen Anyan said: "It's almost there. According to my guess, that person will probably make a move in the next few days..."

He Qingtian wanted to persuade him again, but he saw the person opposite him suddenly made a gesture for silence.

There was another sound outside, this time the footsteps were hesitant and weak, walking for a while and then stopping for a while.

Shen Anyan smiled softly, and whispered: "You are really a lucky star. You can win the prize as soon as you come."

He Qingtian said, "What kind of blessing is this...Okay, if you say so, then let's go over and take a look."

The two of them tiptoed to the door and looked out through the glass window.

A fat figure appeared at the end of the corridor, wearing a black hoodie and trousers, holding a cloth bag in his hand.

Every time he walked to a class, he would take something out of his bag and put it in front of the door.

He Qingtian said: "What is that..."

Based on his experience from the previous two times, Shen Anyan speculated: "It's probably another animal carcass or piece of meat."

He Qingtian showed a "disgusting" expression.

Chen Anyan said, "Sunny, you go guard the front door. I think he's going to put those things in groups one by one. When he puts them here, we'll surround him from the front and back and catch him."

He Qingtian made an "OK" gesture and walked lightly to the front door.

————

Gouweiba could never have imagined that there would be someone waiting for him in the school late at night.

When he squeezed a dead mouse out of the bag, imagining maliciously how the students would scream in fear when they saw these things the next day, and put it at the back door of Class 1 -

The door suddenly opened.

At that moment, he seemed to have become the mouse in his own hand. After staying in the dark for a long time, he was suddenly exposed to the dazzling light and his whole body became numb for a moment.

His mind was blank and he was so scared that he didn't even dare to move. It wasn't until the boy opposite kicked him in the stomach that the pain stimulated his brain and he hurriedly dropped the bag and ran away.

In his panic, he didn't notice a foot suddenly sticking out from the road, tripped, and fell to the ground.

Perhaps fearing he might escape, someone stepped on his calf, and then slashed his neck with a knife. Gouweiba's vision went dark, and he fainted completely.

————

After seeing that the other party had no chance of escaping, He Qingtian moved his feet away from the other party.

She rubbed her feet against the ground in disgust. It wasn't like she was stepping on someone's leg, but rather a puddle of mud, which was really disgusting. If it weren't for the emergency, she wouldn't have wanted to touch the other person.

Shen Anyan thought the same thing. The man crawling on the ground was incredibly obese. When she kicked him, it was like kicking a ball of water. She couldn't control the force well, otherwise she wouldn't have given him a chance to escape.

The noise was quite loud, and the night patrol security personnel quickly came over and shone the dazzling white light of their flashlights on them.

"Hey hey hey! What are you doing? What are you doing? Oh my god! What is this?!"

The security guards were startled by the dead rats scattered on the ground.
