Chapter 118 Side Effects
The next day, Jiang Jiu went to school with big dark circles under his eyes. He felt dizzy from not sleeping well, but he still had to go to class. Sitting at the desk, he felt stars in his eyes.
The friend next to her also noticed that something was wrong with her, and reached out to pat her and asked in a low voice.
"Are you okay?"
Jiang Jiu turned his head with dazed eyes, shook his head unconsciously, and turned away again.
Seeing that Jiang Jiu didn't say anything, the classmates didn't ask any further questions. It was not until the teacher came in that Jiang Jiu forced himself to cheer up and pretend that he was normal and did not stay up late.
After all, being caught by the teacher for staying up all night is a very sinful thing for a high school student, not to mention that the head teacher now has high hopes for her.
"Students, the school is planning to launch some activities to enrich our campus life. The most important one is the sports meet. Although high school students need to study hard, they can't completely avoid entertainment activities."
Jiang Jiu's somewhat distracted gaze suddenly became more alert when he heard these words, and he raised his head in a start.
In fact, she had held sports meets in her previous school, but... the sports meets in good schools were all about social etiquette, and there were very few real confrontations and competitions. They were left as poor accompaniments to bask in the sun, giving the young masters and young ladies a chance to perform.
I don’t know what this sports meet will be like, but Jiang Jiu is inexplicably looking forward to it.
"Huh? Our school rarely held sports meets before, and even seniors weren't allowed to participate. Why did you change your mind this time?"
The classmate next to Jiang Jiu was a little confused, with a slightly strange expression.
"I don't know. Maybe the school is being merciful."
Another student said.
"Who knows? Instead of studying hard, you're doing these useless things. No wonder our school can't produce a top student."
There were also sarcastic and mocking voices. When the voices came, the whole class almost fell silent, because his movements were so loud that even the head teacher could hear them.
The head teacher also frowned, but did not get angry on the spot. Instead, he cleared his throat and continued.
"This time, leaders from higher-ups and some university teachers are coming to watch. You'd better be quiet and not cause any trouble."
As soon as he finished speaking, there were a few sneers in the class again.
"So that's how it is. It turns out someone came to check it out."
"Stop talking, the teacher is going to be angry."
The troublemaker didn't cause any more trouble, but the sports meet was settled. In the afternoon, the registration form for the sports meet was distributed to everyone. Jiang Jiu was staring at the registration form. She wanted to write down a certain event and choose one to participate in, but it seemed... she was not very good at any of them.
The tip of the pen moved emptyy across the registration form, but in the end nothing was written.
Until school was over, the empty registration form was still on the table, without a single word on it.
Jiang Jiu thought, it would be better not to hold the class back.
The setting sun dyed the sky orange, and the entire classroom was shrouded in twilight. When Jiang Jiu opened the door and pushed it open to leave, the same scene suddenly flashed through her mind. She seemed to have experienced the same thing before. Although she wanted to do it very much, she was affected by various reasons in the end and ended up doing nothing.
She stood still, an air of hesitation hanging over her.
Until the sound of footsteps at the end of the corridor broke Jiang Jiu's thoughts. When she looked up, she saw Teacher Ji's slender figure, with a long shadow in the setting sun, walking towards her.
"Teacher...are you still not off work?"
Jiang Jiu was stunned. The first thing she wanted to know was not how he was, but why he hadn't gotten off work yet, since there was no Chinese class today.
"Why are you still here?"
Ji Chen spoke in a gentle tone. He did not answer Jiang Jiu's question, but asked back.
"I...I'm fine. I just forgot some homework and came back to get it."
Jiang Jiu hesitated for a moment, but did not express her thoughts. Girls' thoughts are always like this. They will subconsciously hide themselves in everything they do, afraid of letting others know.
"Really? Then it's better to go home early."
Ji Chen did not ask any further questions, but spoke to her as usual.
Somehow, the two of them walked out of the school together. Most of the students had already left the school, and it seemed that they were the only two people left in the empty campus. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on their bodies, making them warm. In a trance, Jiang Jiu seemed to feel the biting cold again, and the despair that sank to the bottom of the water.
Even the sun couldn't dispel the chill.
However, Jiang Jiu just thought that she was not normal, and she was with Teacher Ji now, so she forced herself to ignore the discomfort. Even if she had a fever, she had to go home to deal with it. Telling Teacher Ji now would only make him worry, so it would be better to bear it for now and talk to the teacher.
Perhaps because Ji Chen had saved her, Jiang Jiu naturally had a good impression of Ji Chen and wanted to stay with him for a while longer.
"Have you encountered any troubles recently? You can tell me if you have anything on your mind."
Ji Chen is like an elder who has experienced the passage of time. As long as you are with him, you will feel at ease and want to confide in him.
His tone was so friendly that Jiang Jiu almost lost his guard.
She also had no idea what a cold person Ji Chen used to be. Whether he was the head of a sect or an immortal, he was feared by everyone. The cold immortal who could not be approached was not at all like the harmless person he appeared to be now.
"Well....Teacher has helped me a lot. It's not really that troublesome."
Jiang Jiu paused, shook his head and said nothing.
There was a flash of disappointment in Ji Chen's eyes. In fact, they shared information, so he always knew what happened around Jiang Jiu, but he still wanted to hear it from Jiang Jiu herself. But now it seems that the little girl still doesn't trust him.
He was not in a hurry. There was still a lot of time anyway, and there would always be a time when Jiang Jiu would trust him.
but....
He could always hear the fox's playful teasing in his ears.
"Why did you choose this identity again? Although it is very convenient to get close to Jiang Jiu, you will be in trouble again if you want to confess your feelings to her later."
The voice seemed to still be in his ears, Ji Chen could only lower his eyes and hide his emotions.
While thinking, Ji Chen did not notice that something was wrong with Jiang Jiu. When he turned around, he saw Jiang Jiu's body go limp. Ji Chen's pupils almost dilated, and he hugged him in his arms in a second.
Ji Chen thought that nothing would happen as long as he was with Jiang Jiu, but he didn't expect Jiang Jiu to suddenly stop and fall to the ground in a trance.
Regardless of anything, Ji Chen used his magical powers to take his people away.
Jiang Jiu was in a daze and had no idea what was happening. He only knew that he was alternating between hot and cold and felt very uncomfortable. It was as if he was torn into two, one died in the cold water, and the other was still alive in this world.
