Chapter 258 Group Photo
Chen Xiao'er took Xiaotong out of the clock tower. The afternoon sun shone warmly on their faces. She lowered her head and saw the water stains on the ground, then she remembered that it had just rained.
"Oh." She sighed softly. After leaving school, Xiaotong would become a child who had dropped out of school again.
She shook her sister's arm and whispered, "Xiaotong, I'm going to take you out of school soon."
Chen Xiaotong's eyes widened as she asked in disbelief, "Leaving today? Are we never coming back?"
Chen Xiao'er's heart felt a little sad: Sure enough, this period of study and life has actually brought Xiaotong a lot of warmth.
Children are like this. It is painful for her to go to school, and it is also painful not to let her go to school. After she goes out, we still have to find a new school for her to go to as soon as possible.
She gently touched her sister's head and prepared to tell her a little story about how all good things must come to an end.
"Well, we probably won't be back..."
"Great!" Before she finished her words, Chen Xiaotong had already jumped up, and even her lame right foot jumped three feet high when she wasn't paying attention!
"Hahahahaha!" Chen Xiaotong laughed like a little daisy, her whole body filled with a brilliant aura. She hummed and sang: "Sister, take me away from school. Let's blow it all up~"
Snap. Chen Xiao'er couldn't help but pat her head: "Don't sing this kind of song!"
Strange, who taught me this song? I've never sung that Blue Star song. Bah, bah, bah, there's no such song. The kid just sang it!
This hit her right on the forehead. Xiaotong stuck out her tongue and then quickly put it back in. She raised her hand and put it into her sister's palm, pretending to be well-behaved again.
After being interrupted by her sister, Chen Xiao'er's melancholy disappeared.
Oh, what am I worried about? Looking at Xiaotong like this, she'd be happy even if she stayed home for the rest of her life... No, she'd definitely be happier. Oh~~
Chen Xiao'er held her hand and continued to walk forward. She made up her mind silently that Xiaotong's aversion to studying was a bit serious and she must work hard to correct it in the future.
The two of them walked slowly across the flower bed and came to the playground. Chen Xiao'er saw Sister Lan not far away at a glance.
Lan took a big slingshot from some game stall. She stuffed glass balls into the slingshot and patrolled back and forth in the crowd. When she saw a suspicious person, she would hit the person's head with the glass balls.
Is this a wrong number?
Chen Xiao'er broke out in a cold sweat. But the school hadn't responded yet, so they probably didn't hit anyone innocent, right?
Following Professor Milo's advice, she called Sister Lan as soon as she left the house, and then left the campus together.
But since Sister Lan is right next to me, there is no need to make the call.
For a moment, Chen Xiao'er wanted to go over and settle the score with the Chen family with Sister Lan, but when she thought of Xiaotong being there, she had to take her sister's hand and sit on the bench in the playground.
Rustle. The late autumn wind felt a bit chilly, the air full of moisture, and even my skin felt dampened by tears.
She sat on the bench in a daze, and Xiaotong sat next to her, playing with her phone.
On the screen, the long-eating snake accidentally ate its own tail and turned into a tiny pixel. She played with it over and over again, never getting tired of it.
"Xiaotong, stop staring at your phone. Take a look at the flowers and plants in the distance when you have time."
"Okay." Chen Xiaotong agreed without raising her head.
Chen Xiao'er sighed, put away the phone in her hand and looked into the distance.
Huh? She pointed slightly and was surprised to see many students from Class A on the playground.
Oh~ I almost forgot, the students are all extras, and now is the interactive time before the third act, and they are going to play games with the tourists.
Perhaps because the "Queen" had just appeared on the street once, many people took it for granted that the gift-giving segment had already been performed.
Tourists no longer actively interacted with stall owners to get gifts, and they deliberately avoided the students in costumes when walking, not giving them the opportunity to talk to them.
Chen Xiao'er suddenly felt a little apologetic.
When the teacher said we were going to hold a school festival, I stood up and vowed to leave everyone with beautiful memories.
In the end, everyone was busy at the end, but I had to slip away quietly.
[How about at least watching the meteor shower with everyone? ]
No, no, Chen Xiao'er shook her head vigorously: Xiaotong's safety is more important!
[Then~ can you at least stay and finish the third act before leaving? ]
This task is not too difficult, and it seems a bit natural: everyone has been rehearsing with you for so long, and you, the protagonist, are going to quit at the last minute?
Even if we ignore the sense of responsibility, if she escapes early, everyone and the student council members will definitely find out that she is missing when the third act begins.
Regardless of whether my classmates and seniors in the student union took the initiative to chase me or helped me keep this matter secret, I felt very sorry for them.
She sat on the bench and thought for a few minutes. Perhaps it was time to gather, as more and more familiar faces passed by her.
"Yang Lele~" Chen Xiao'er finally couldn't help but called out to a classmate who was walking close to the chair.
"Hey, Xiao'er! You're here?" Yang Lele's face showed a surprise. She ran over happily and stood behind the chair, supporting herself with her hands.
Seeing Yang Lele standing behind her, Chen Xiao'er suddenly had an idea: I want to leave good memories with my classmates, why not take a group photo?
It stands to reason that the group photo should be taken on the graduation day to be more memorable, but she can no longer wait for that day.
Chen Xiao'er leaned towards Yang Lele and asked softly, "Um, how's the class activity going? I want to take a commemorative photo for everyone. Will that take up too much time?"
Yang Lele looked around following her gaze. In her eyes, many areas around her were shrouded in fog, and it would be easy to get lost if she walked around randomly.
However, as long as Chen Xiao'er is calling outside, a golden line will light up under the feet of the person who hears the call, and they will be able to follow the golden line out of the fog.
How could I refuse such a convenient help from you?
She smiled and said, "Don't worry, it won't take any time. It only takes a moment to take a picture and we haven't gone far. Just shout."
Didn't go far? That's great.
Chen Xiao'er quickly opened her phone and sent text messages to all the team leaders and frequently contacted people.
Hi everyone~ I'd like to take a group photo with my classmates. Does anyone have time? If so, why don't we meet by the benches in the playground? Thank you!
After she finished sending the text message, she put her hand to her lips and took a deep breath: "Class A, please come over here - let's take a group photo!"
The text message took effect quickly, or maybe the sound could travel far enough.
Within minutes, the team leaders and their members hurried over. More and more people gathered, all dressed in colorful costumes.
Although the classmates looked a little tired, no one blamed her for making a fuss.
After coordination by the team leaders, everyone stood in groups around the chairs in three rows, surrounding Chen Xiao'er in the middle.
She was a little uneasy at first and wanted to stand up and change seats, but the classmates were standing still and if she stood up they would have to rearrange themselves, so she just smiled at the camera like everyone else.
"1, 2, 3~ Smile!"
Click.
There was a flash of white light and a surprised gasp was heard nearby.
Chen Xiao'er blinked and suddenly realized that the person standing in front of them taking pictures was not a classmate, but a girl passing by.
It was Meimei, who had been lost with her father! She was now wearing a brand new dress and two red velvet flowers inlaid with pearls in her hair. It was clear that she was doing well.
"Sister Xiao'er, long time no see~" Meimei waved to Chen Xiao'er and handed the camera to Qian Xiaomei who rushed over.
After handing over the camera, she playfully smiled at Chen Xiao'e and said, "It'll take several days for the photos to be developed. Sister, give me your phone first and I'll take another photo for you."
Chen Xiao'er was stunned for a moment, then handed over her phone gratefully: "Okay, thank you!"
Infected by Meimei's outgoing attitude, the smile on her face was much more genuine this time. She folded her skirt and sat among her classmates, a warm courage surging in her chest.
【Everyone and I will definitely meet again.】
Snap!
"Wow~ This is a really nice photo. Do you like it, sister?" Meimei happily handed the phone back.
Chen Xiao'er quickly took the phone and the photos she had just taken were displayed on the screen.
She was wearing a gorgeous robe like a fairy tale queen and a platinum crown on her head. Her legs were hidden by the students in the front row, so her changed sneakers were not photographed.
Because this wasn't a strictly row-up graduation photo, everyone was sitting close together. The boys were arm in arm, and the girls were arm in arm, practically touching.
Everyone is wearing costumes of different colors, but the styles are coordinated and unified, and it is obvious that they are from the same stage.
The students were leaning at different angles, vaguely centered around her.
Several students were looking in other directions when the photo was taken with their cellphone, so she should have retaken it. However, the photo was so vivid that she couldn't bear to change it.
Chen Xiao'er looked at Meimei and nodded vigorously: "Thank you! You took such a great photo, I love it!"
"I'm glad you like it, bye~" Meimei turned around with a smile and disappeared in the middle of the store like a puff of smoke.
Chen Xiao'er lowered her head again, her fingertips sliding across the screen with care: The only flaw is that there are no teachers teaching the course.
Now that I think about it, it's unlikely that all the teachers will agree with the school's decision. If Professor Milo contacts me next time, I can try to ask her which teachers she trusts and would be willing to take a photo with.
She looked at the screen and raised the corners of her lips, as if she could see everyone laughing and joking on graduation day. She couldn't help but close her eyes and make a silent wish.
[I hope everyone is safe and sound, and that we will meet again one day even if we are far apart! ]
Her mind flashed with memories of Ding Pingsu and several classmates who had died accidentally or dropped out of school, and she felt a little tight in her chest.
The classmates looked at Chen Xiao'er's dazed face with concern. They weren't fools, so of course they could tell that something was amiss with her.
Those who know a little more have already thought of escape.
Logically, they should have tried their best to stop Chen Xiao'er from leaving the ceremony venue and absolutely could not let her escape the control of the church.
But who will stop it and how?
If the mission is to prevent Chen Xiao'er from escaping, then I'm sorry, none of them has the will and method to carry out this mission.
Finally, everyone looked at each other, their gazes focused on Xing Shuyao's face: "Isn't your superpower to see emotions? Hurry, hurry, hurry."
Xing Shuyao clenched his fists, wishing he could give those guys a couple of punches: Idiots, I stayed here silently on purpose!
You want me to try to trick Chen Xiao'er into telling you something? If she tells you she wants to leave school, then we'll be committing an even more serious crime if we don't stop her. There's no point in trying to stop her!
rustle.
Xing Shuyao felt someone quietly pulling his sleeve. He turned around and found it was Ye Xiaoyu.
Ye Xiaoyu lowered her head and whispered in his ear, "I want to do the math."
Xing Shuyao immediately understood what she meant. Chen Xiao'er was leaving now, so Ye Xiaoyu naturally had to consider whether the impact of this matter was good or bad.
"No." It was no use anyway. He looked at the girl in front of him and shook his head with difficulty: she had lost at least 17 or 18 pounds since she first entered school.
Ye Xiaoyu's forearm looked only slightly thicker than a baby's leg, with only pale skin covering a bone and light blue blood vessels.
The body of a psychic superpower user will become weak under the erosion of superpowers.
The prophetic psychics are the weakest and have the shortest lifespans among all psychic psychics.
Given the strength of Ye Xiaoyu's special abilities, the fact that she can survive until now is a miracle blessed by some kind of talent.
"No, I have a feeling it's time to do it," Ye Xiaoyu said firmly. She wasn't here to seek advice, but to inform him. This young woman looked fragile, but in reality, she was as stubborn and strong as the ancient prophets.
Xing Shuyao sighed. He knew that with Ye Xiaoyu's personality, if she could accurately predict how to solve the doomsday by chopping herself into seven or eight pieces with an axe, she would definitely do it.
At this point he could only try his best to help.
Xing Shuyao pushed the wheelchair out and asked quietly, "What do you need me to ask?"
Ye Xiaoyu said softly, "I need the time, place, and method of her escape. The more detailed the better. And please help me determine whether she's telling the truth or not. Thank you."
"good."
Xing Shuyao wheeled his wheelchair back to Chen Xiao'er's side and asked casually, "Xiao'er, are you going off campus today?"
Chen Xiao'er subconsciously shook her head and nodded: "Yes."
Xing Shuyao crossed her hands on her knees and said sincerely, "Can you tell me roughly when we're leaving? Don't worry, I won't stop you. I just want to help you see if there's anything else you can improve on."
It turns out that the classmates all saw it.
Chen Xiao'er's nose tightened. Sister Lan wasn't far away anyway; they could just hop on their motorcycle and run away at any moment. Besides, Xing Shuyao had a serious heart condition, making her the least likely person to intervene.
She replied softly, "Actually, I haven't thought about it yet. Probably, probably soon. I... I'm sorry, I might not be able to perform in the next performance."
Xing Shuyao actually couldn't see Xiao'er's changing colors. He could only see a pure white created by extreme emptiness.
However, after dealing with all kinds of people for so many years, communicating with others is now as easy as taking an open-book exam. He can clearly hear the sincerity in Chen Xiao'er's words.
Time was urgent, and thinking of the rumors about "Lan", he simply asked in a positive tone: "Are you going with Lan? I saw her coming to pick you up."
Chen Xiao'er blushed and nodded: Oh my God, no one can hide their feelings.
Okay, now we have the time and the method, all we need is a route to escape.
Xing Shuyao glanced at the main gate not far away.
The power ceremony would not have left an obvious exit, and Zero had obviously grown to the point where it was above most powers - including the rules.
He whispered, "There's really no security guard at the gate today. Are you planning to go out through the main gate with Lan? Just leave like that?"
"Yes." Chen Xiao'er actually wanted to go back to the dormitory to pack her luggage. But then she thought about it and realized that these things were basically distributed by the school. It would be a bit too much for her to run away and eat and take them. She decided to just leave them here.
No, at least take the dagger my mother left me... She was thinking about what to get back to the dormitory when she suddenly heard a rapid murmur.
Who was chanting the spell? She looked around and happened to see a bloodless face.
"Puff--" A large mouthful of blood foam sprayed everywhere along the neck. Veins popped out on Ye Xiaoyu's pale skin, his arms twisted unnaturally, his fingers curled up and trembled desperately.
"Xiaoyu!!!" The classmates rushed over and knocked her down. Zheng Xiuli was more impatient. She put her hand under Ye Xiaoyu's nostrils to test it, and her face suddenly turned pale.
"No, it's bad! She, she——" Chen Xiao'er screamed in fear: "She's having an epileptic seizure?!"
Xing Shuyao loosened his fist and suddenly burst into tears: he saw a piece of disappeared color return to a faint color.
