Chapter 286 Small Gathering
"How could it be her?"
Anxi was taken aback when she heard this and stepped forward, but after only one glance, she was so frightened that she retreated repeatedly and dared not look again.
The surrounding classmates also stood against the wall in fear, some even with their legs weak and crying out in terror!
Only Wen Ni remained holding onto the railing, remarkably calm.
She frowned, withdrew her gaze from Wang Zhiyuan's corpse, and then looked at Zhen Yuan and Zhang Meimei, who were standing at the same level as her.
"Aaaaaah! I fell, I fell to my death!" Zhen Yuan collapsed to the ground, her face contorted with terror. It took her a long time to stiffly look at Zhang Meimei beside her. "You pushed her down? It was you!?"
"I didn't! She fell down on her own!" Zhang Meimei was also terrified, her face pale, and she was somewhat incoherent, but she was still trying her best to prove herself. "You can check the surveillance footage! It was Wang Zhiyuan who rushed over to hit me. I just dodged to the side, but who knew she would lose her balance and fall straight off the railing!"
"You're lying! You did it on purpose, you must have done it on purpose!" Zhen Yuan scrambled backward, "You clearly, you clearly hold a grudge against us!"
"I didn't, I really didn't! Don't try to frame me! I didn't kill anyone! It wasn't me!" Zhang Meimei cried out in desperation.
The entire teaching building was suddenly filled with noise and chaos from top to bottom!
Until the sirens blared.
When the police arrived, they immediately took Zhen Yuan and Zhang Meimei away from the scene.
Wen Ni stood on the outside watching them the whole time.
Just before getting into the police car, Zhang Meimei suddenly turned her head, her gaze seemingly piercing through the crowd, and met Wen Ni's eyes.
Those eyes were dull and lifeless, revealing not a trace of emotion.
Fear, sorrow, and cowardice—all return to the mundane!
As the car door closed
The entire Huaguo Medical University was shrouded in an atmosphere of fear of death.
"Wen Shen, now the whole Xueyuan Road knows that something terrible happened at your school, a student died! How's it going? Have you found out exactly what happened?"
"You're asking Wen Ni? You might as well ask me! She doesn't care about these things at all~ The female student who died was my roommate. She used to always pick on Wen Ni, but Wen Ni tamed her. I thought things would finally settle down, but then she accidentally fell to her death!"
"Huh? So the person who was taken away for investigation was also your roommate? Is it even possible for people to live in your dorm?"
"What do you mean, 'stay'? We'd give you a place to stay, but would you dare? The school has CCTV footage. After the police took them away for questioning, they were found to be innocent and were sent back today. The school has already changed our dorm rooms. If there's nothing else, they'll go home after they've packed up."
Wen Ni, Lin Yi, and An Xi sat by the window at a restaurant on the street.
Several dishes were laid out on the table, looking and smelling delicious.
This was just a simple get-together for them before the holiday, and the restaurant was near the school!
After this meal, they will each go home tomorrow and find their own mothers, and they will meet again when school starts.
"Oh... that girl died so tragically..." Lin Yi clicked his tongue in dismay, then quickly waved his hand, "Let's not talk about such depressing things, we should celebrate getting more than a month of winter vacation! Eat up, this restaurant has the best food! By the way, Wen Shen, do you have time to help me and Jingzhong Baoguo climb the rankings?"
"No time, no invitations." Wen Ni lowered her head and ate her food.
"Your Wen Shen is very busy!" Anxi also held up a finger and shook it, saying seriously, "When the country calls, we're always ready~"
"Huh?" Lin Yi's eyes widened. He quickly picked up a large piece of pork rib and put it in Wen Ni's bowl, saying with utmost sincerity, "Goddess Wen, you must come back alive!"
"..." Wen Ni almost had her teeth knocked out.
"Tsk! Say something auspicious!" Anxi tapped his forehead with her chopsticks.
Lin Yi covered her forehead, looking aggrieved, "This is already the most auspicious thing I could say!"
As they were joking around, two more people entered the restaurant and stood at their table.
"Hey? Lin Yi, you little rascal! No wonder you wouldn't come when we asked you to come out for dinner. So you had a date with someone special, huh!?"
"Huang Ming, Yin Shupeng?" Lin Yi was surprised to run into them while out for a meal, and his expression was a little awkward. "You guys are eating here too?"
"Of course! Their food is the best on the whole Xueyuan Road!" said the boy with dyed brown hair, then winked at Wen Ni and An Xi as if he were very handsome. "You two beauties, you should try their sweet and sour pork. It's absolutely amazing!"
"Linyi, we'll sit at the table next to you. You don't mind, do you?" Yin Shupeng found an empty seat next to them. "This way, it'll be easier for us to chat together."
"Sure, do as you please!"
A short while later, Huang Ming and Yin Shupeng called the waiter to order their food.
Anxi took the opportunity to gesture towards Lin Yi with her chin, "Are these all your buddies?"
"They're my classmates! They were in my group when we were doing homework. The one with the blond hair is called Huang Ming, and the other one is called Yin Shupeng," Lin Yi whispered. "They're considered the handsome guys in our grade. Want me to introduce them to you?"
"Forget it." Anxi rolled her eyes at him. "I'm beautiful on my own, I don't need a man."
"What about Wen Shen?"
“You, Wen Shen, have plenty of suitors. You don’t need these few.” Anxi waved her hand dismissively.
"Oh~" Lin Yi scratched his messy red hair.
As they were talking, a plate of sweet and sour pork was placed on the table in front of them.
"It's on us~ Try it!" Huang Ming and Yin Shupeng smiled at them.
"I'm so embarrassed!" Anxi said, forking up a piece of sweet and sour pork, her eyes lighting up. "It smells so good, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside!"
Wen Ni also picked up a piece and ate it slowly and deliberately.
Her intuition told her that someone was watching her, and she suddenly looked up and met Huang Ming's eyes!
He clearly hadn't expected Wen Ni to look at him suddenly, and his face flushed. He quickly looked away and tried to make conversation.
"Lin Yi, these two beauties aren't from our school, are they? After all... if they were beauties from our computer science department, with such distinctive looks, we wouldn't forget them!"
"Of course not," Lin said with a smile. "They're studying at medical school!"
"Wow, that's amazing! A medical student!" Huang Ming's eyes lit up, then he hesitated for a moment before finally asking, "So how did you meet them? Is one of them your girlfriend?"
"Pfft! If I could find one of them to be my girlfriend, I'd kneel at my family's ancestral grave for a whole day and night to thank God for his blessings!"
Lin Yi introduced with exaggerated tone and a proud face, "The person sitting diagonally across from me is a promising future top singer! And the person sitting across from me is a legend in the hacker world, an ultimate existence that I can only look up to! With their status, how could they possibly look down on a nobody like me?"
"Pfft, hahaha!" Anxi laughed at his words. "If you put it that way, we really are amazing!"
Huang Ming and Yin Shupeng shook their heads with smiles.
"Lin Yi, you're too modest. You're already the programming prodigy at our school. If you're a newbie, then what are we?"
"But is she really as amazing as you say?" They looked at Wen Ni, who was eating with her head down.
It's really hard to believe.
Lin said that to save face for them, right? How could a girl majoring in medicine possibly have such deep expertise in computers?
"If you don't believe me, that's fine too~"
"No, no, I don't believe you!" Huang Ming quickly explained, addressing everyone but his eyes were fixed on Wen Ni. "How about we add each other on WeChat? You two are so talented, I can consult you about programming later!"
"Yes, yes, yes! And this amazing female musician! When you have another performance, you can invite us to come and support you!" Yin Shupeng chimed in enthusiastically. "We're good friends with Lin Yi too. Let's get to know each other and keep in touch so we can help each other out in the future!"
"Hey, hey, hey, where did you two squeeze me out of?" Lin Yi huddled in the corner, on the verge of tears. "You're being a little too enthusiastic!"
“Great! We’ll all be friends from now on!” Anxi readily took out her phone.
Before she could even open WeChat, her phone started ringing incessantly, with strange, annoying ringtones that went something like, "Ugh, so annoying! That annoying person is calling again! La la la~ So annoying!"
"..." Wen Ni pretended to take a sip of her drink, but her eyes were actually drawn to the electronic display on the screen!
Shi Yuan? Chief Instructor Shi?
