Seeing that the ranged attack was ineffective, Elaine simply walked directly to Carol's side.
She rolled up the textbook in her hands and gently tapped it on her head.
"Smack!"
"Hmm..."
The sound of a textbook hitting someone's head and the girl's cry of pain rang out simultaneously.
Carol covered her head with both hands, puffed out her cheeks, and looked up at Elaine standing in front of her with a huff.
Gu Xinghe noticed that Elaine had turned her gaze to Rekaya, who was sitting to his right.
Seeing this, he also curiously turned to look at Rekaya sitting next to him.
In Gu Xinghe's memory, she was a girl with a strong artistic temperament who would quietly immerse herself in her own world and paint.
Contrary to expectations, he was not attentively listening to the literature lesson.
She had spread her blank notebook out on her desk, which was now filled with all sorts of drawings.
It's like recording the fleeting creative inspirations that flash through the painter's daily life.
The notebook didn't contain any particularly exquisite or well-done drawings; it was filled with all sorts of imaginative sketches and ideas.
From Gu Xinghe's perspective, there seemed to be several drafts imitating the painting style of her favorite painter, Mia.
From this perspective, although the two sisters usually display completely different personalities.
However, their inattentive behavior during class was surprisingly consistent.
She has a cute appearance, but is actually dangerous, and seems to be a little absent-minded in her daily life.
As they spent more time together, Gu Xinghe seemed to gain a deeper understanding of the two of them.
"Honestly, I just can't do anything with you two."
Elaine watched as Carol and Rekaya, one choosing to pass notes and the other choosing to draw to pass the time.
In terms of degree, they are practically neck and neck.
Thinking of this, Elaine pushed up her glasses and sighed softly.
"Also, Carol, if you don't want to listen to the lecture, at least be like Rekaya and don't lead your classmates astray."
Perhaps it was Elaine's consistent favoritism towards the two girls, or perhaps it was because of her countless failed attempts.
Elaine's approach to advising Carol leaned towards the "at least don't disturb your classmates when you're daydreaming" type.
Because of their special seating arrangement of three people sitting at the same table, which is right next to each other.
From an outsider's perspective, Gu Xinghe does indeed seem like a pure-hearted high school boy who has been corrupted by two delinquent girls.
"Remember, the examiners will be coming to inspect our class in five days. You'd better behave yourself."
Although I know that there should be other assessment methods besides the so-called campus assessment.
But upon hearing Elaine's words, Gu Xinghe couldn't help but think of—
Is this the otherworldly version of "open class"? It's so down-to-earth!
"Yes, Ms. Elaine!"
Upon hearing Elaine's compromise, Carol's face fell, concealing the pain she had shown when she was hit on the head.
She raised her right hand with great energy and smiled as she saluted Elaine, who was standing next to her.
The course, which consisted of only two classes a day, came to an end.
Gu Xinghe still didn't understand what Carol meant by feeding the fish when class ended.
The activity was obviously forced to come to an end when Carol and Rekaya were called to Elaine's office after class.
At that moment, he vaguely remembered that when they first entered the campus and walked through the corridor into the teaching building, they did indeed pass by a green pond.
But at the time, none of them seemed to see any fish swimming in it.
He completed the literature paper assigned by Elaine in the library of the academy.
Gu Xinghe then returned to his dormitory with Tao Changyi and the others after finishing dinner in the cafeteria.
During his time in the library, Gu Xinghe found that it did indeed look as Xiao Ruiming and the others had described.
Nothing unusual has occurred, and it appears to be safe at the moment.
But when I think about how the plaster statues in the art room behave differently when everyone is in class together and when he is alone with others, I realize that they are different.
When the four of them returned to their room in the dormitory building that evening.
Gu Xinghe mentioned to the other three the strange things that might happen when only one person was alone in the room when the sketch sculpture in the art room was left alone.
I also casually mentioned that it might be better to stick together as much as possible on campus, which is just my personal guess.
"Understood, thank you."
"Thanks."
Hearing Gu Xinghe's reminder and speculation, Xiao Ruiming and Liang Yue, who rarely spoke, both briefly thanked him.
Then, seeing that Tao Changyi seemed to want to ask more questions, Xiao Ruiming directly hit him on the head, stopping him from speaking.
Seeing this, Gu Xinghe nodded and accepted their thanks.
He did not mention that he actually experienced something "unbelievable" in the art room.
Because, realistically speaking, if he had truly experienced the same situation as when he "empathized" with it...
He couldn't explain why he was still alive.
But Tao Changyi and the other two are people who have survived on campus for so long.
Furthermore, it provided him with a lot of information when he first entered the school.
In any case, they all deserved his reminder.
In the current thrilling and dangerous scenario, such a simple reminder is often enough.
But despite this, Gu Xinghe also knew—
Maintaining a collective approach on campus, including for himself, is by no means easy.
First, En Pangci was injured and sent to the infirmary, and then Su Wu was stubbornly disobeyed and sent to solitary confinement.
According to the information Gu Xinghe learned in the live broadcast room, Kong Hejing was later forced to play a game of hide-and-seek.
Even Gu Xinghe himself had only spent a short time alone with Carol and Rekaya, who had their eyes on him.
Stopping thinking about these things, Gu Xinghe simply lay down on the bed, closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.
...
"First, prepare 100 grams of butter and let it soften at room temperature until it is soft enough to be easily pressed down with your finger..."
"Then add the whipped butter in three or four batches, a small amount each time..."
Following Elaine's instructions and the demonstration she made at the cooking table in front of her.
Everyone present followed the steps to begin cooking.
This was a home economics class held by Gu Xinghe and others on the afternoon of their third day at the academy, in the cooking room on the fifth floor of the teaching building.
Just as Gu Xinghe said before in the Tavern of Misfortune—
Although the method of adding ingredients according to proportions when mixing drinks seems to have a similar effect to cooking.
But it was clear that Gu Xinghe still couldn't handle bartending.
And the context surrounding this statement also implies—
He obviously knows how to cook from a recipe.
After mixing drinks at a bar, Gu Xinghe never imagined he would one day be making cookies in a home economics class.
