Chapter 15 Disappeared
Ever since the incident at the sports meet, Yan Sui could clearly feel that Yu Shuli came to see her less often.
Occasionally the two met on campus and they would just exchange a quick hello.
Yan Sui never took the initiative to greet Yu Shuli. Usually, Yu Shuli would nod at her first, or raise his hand and smile. She would respond out of politeness.
But Yan Sui could still sense the weirdness in it.
She could clearly sense that Yu Shuli still wanted to get closer to her, but his actions were deliberately avoiding getting close to her. She saw the conflict in his expression.
Yan Sui didn't know what he was thinking, and didn't have time to guess whether he was planning something again.
After all, Yu Shuli in this life is a question mark in her heart.
Yan Sui caught Yan Zhaoting cheating on her husband on the day the sports meet ended, and has been focusing all her attention on these matters recently.
Although it was still some time since Yan Zhaoting confessed in the previous life, things had made progress. She could not control her heart and wanted more clues.
But apart from the matter between Yan Zhaoting and Yu Shuli, there was another thing that made Yan Sui feel a little upset recently.
The school bell rang, and the Chinese teacher at the podium closed the book, reminded everyone not to forget to recite the text, and then left the classroom with the book.
The students in the class began to pack their backpacks one after another, putting their homework and textbooks into their backpacks.
Chen Ling packed her schoolbag early. When the bell rang, she stuffed her Chinese textbook into her backpack and stood up while zipping it up. "Sui Sui, aren't you leaving yet?"
There was only one reading question left on the test paper in Yan Sui's hand. After hearing Chen Ling's voice, she raised her head and replied, "I have one last big question left. I'll finish it before leaving."
"Okay, then don't write too late and go home early."
"Yeah, okay. Be safe on the road."
After Chen Ling left, Yan Sui glanced at the questions and returned to the reading materials, circling and drawing on them with the pen in her hand.
This reading comprehension question didn't take Yan Sui long. After finishing the question, she looked up and looked around the class. Most of the students were still in the classroom studying.
Thinking that today was Friday, the day Yan Zhaoting was going home, and Tan Shu was not going back with her because of the choir, Yan Sui decisively took out another math paper and began to study it.
When Yan Sui raised her head again, the sky outside the window was already dyed red, and most of the students in the class had left.
Seeing the time, Yan Sui sighed and started packing.
Perhaps noticing that she had finished studying, the system appeared in her mind and reminded her: "Host, the target of the side quest will appear soon. Please pay attention."
The system has reminded her of this three times.
Yan Sui actually didn't want to complete this task. She came back to help her family reverse the tragedy. She would keep her distance from Yu Shuli, but she also didn't want to have any relationship with other people.
It has nothing to do with Yu Shuli, she just doesn't want to accept a new relationship so quickly.
But after all, it was a condition for coming back, so she agreed to the system.
She can't regret it.
Yan Sui slung her schoolbag over her shoulders and sighed, "I understand."
"Host, have you thought of a strategy?"
"No."
"Host."
Yan Sui twitched her lips and straightened her attitude: "I'm thinking about it, but it will take time."
System: "Master, although I cannot see into the hearts of those involved in the main quest, I am now one with you. Whatever you are thinking will be synchronized with me."
Yan Sui: “…”
—
When Yan Sui came out of the teaching building, the entire campus was quiet and empty.
This week was a big break, and all students in the school were dismissed at the same time, including the seniors who were usually still studying hard in the classroom at this time. Because the seniors were dismissed at the same time as them, there were even fewer people in the school at this time than after school on a normal day.
After leaving the school, the system was still chattering in her mind, persuading Yan Sui to adjust her attitude towards her target.
Yan Sui was getting a headache from the noise, and she couldn't do anything about the system that lived in her head, so she could only retort, "Actually, you don't have to say so much. Since I promised you in the beginning, I will still complete this task."
The system seemed to choke on her words. Whether it was an illusion or something else, she seemed to hear the system sigh, and a hint of helplessness in its cold, mechanical voice. "But host, I still hope you can accept this mission yourself."
Yan Sui was stunned for a moment and murmured, "What do you mean?"
But her words received no response, and the system's voice suddenly vanished from her mind. No matter how Yan Sui called out, the familiar mechanical voice in her mind did not reappear.
The sudden disappearance of the system made Yan Sui feel a little confused and uneasy.
This was the first time that the system disappeared while she was talking after appearing on her body.
Yan Sui's mind was full of the sudden disappearance of the system, and she couldn't identify the direction for a moment and walked straight forward.
By the time she realized what was happening, she was already standing at the entrance of an alley on the side of the urban village, a hundred meters away from her original route.
Yan Sui was filled with frustration and was about to leave when she suddenly heard the ping-pong sound of something falling from the depths of the alley. Along with the sound of the falling object came the unbridled laughter of a young man.
She paused, and the angry curses that followed the laughter made her realize what was happening inside in an instant.
Seeing this, Yan Sui turned around and wanted to go back the same way and leave this place.
She didn't want to get involved in things that had nothing to do with her, as this would bring her a lot of trouble.
But just when she took two steps forward, she heard a familiar name amid the angry curses behind her.
——Yu Shuli,
Her steps froze in mid-air, but her attention was involuntarily drawn to the angry curses behind her:
"You're the only one who wants to be a hero and save the damsel in distress? You're so weak you can't even withstand a single punch from me."
"I told you to mind your own business from the beginning, but you got so nervous when you saw something happening. Did you really think I was scared of you back then?"
"Huh? Why aren't you talking? Are you mute? If you don't say anything, then I'll go find her."
Yan Sui was just about to think about who the "she" the boy was talking about when she heard that very familiar voice ring out in this quiet alley, "Don't, don't go look for her."
The voice was hoarse, several degrees hoarse than when he spoke to her.
But Yan Sui was sure that it must be Yu Shuli's voice at first glance.
Before she had time to think about what was happening inside, Yan Sui turned around before her and ran into the alley.
Her steps kicked up dust, and when she reached the corner, she used the edge of the wall to help herself to a stop.
The scene that came into view was very similar to the one that had just flashed through her mind.
Yu Shuli fell in the middle of a pile of scrap metal. In the light of the street lamp on the next road, she saw several black footprints on his black and white school uniform.
Next to him were discarded schoolbags and textbooks scattered on the ground.
His face was hidden in the dim light of the street lamp, making it impossible to see his expression at the moment.
"who?"
It was dark at this time, and the corner where Yan Sui was located was a blind spot for the light.
Standing here, she could clearly see Yu Shuli falling in the waste and the boy standing in front of him.
"Who's there? If you don't want to be beaten, get out of here."
After seeing the boy's face clearly and combining it with what she had just heard, Yan Sui instantly realized the cause and effect of the incident.
It's because of myself.
Yan Sui pursed her lips, took the initiative to step out of the shadows and into the light: "Didn't you just say you wanted to find me?"
