Seeing the teasing smile on the face of the sea cucumber next to him, Jun Beibei was silent for a moment, lowered his eyes, and said:
"I'm not kidding, I'm serious."
Seriously, I want to take you away from this world.
The smile on Wen Nan's lips faded a little.
Of course he knew that the other party was serious. This was a space that belonged to her alone. She was deeply immersed in it. Naturally, all her actions would be more or less driven by the obsession in her heart.
Wen Nan's joke just now, in addition to not wanting to make the atmosphere too solemn, there is another reason -
He was hiding his inner throbbing.
When the person on the other side said "leave this world with him", Wen Nan found that his heart seemed to be grasped by a pair of invisible hands.
It was a strange feeling, and he tried hard to figure out the cause of the throbbing, but he found that because of the effect of this space, he was in a state of half-sleep and half-wakefulness. The more he wanted to see his own heart clearly, the less he could see.
At this moment, seeing the white shell, silently staring at the crack in front of it, with the hem of her skirt drooping on the handrail, looking a little lonely, Wen Nan restrained his joking expression.
He quietly moved a step toward the shell, stood shoulder to shoulder with her in front of the handrail on the top floor, stretched out one hand and gently covered the other's hand.
"I know," Wen Nan whispered in the other's ear, "I believe you."
Beike turned her head and stared at his profile in a daze. After a while, her white skin gradually turned red.
The black thorns and the white skirt were sticky and held together for a long time without separating.
A sea cucumber and a shell stood silently on the abandoned top floor, looking through a gap at the water surface shrouded in fog.
At that moment, Beijibei thought, even if no one in this world could understand her, as long as the people around her could understand her and believe in her, it would be enough...
"Beibei!"
A woman's shrill voice came from downstairs.
The soft flesh that was originally sticking to Wen Nan's "palm" was pulled out of his hand with a "whoosh", and the white shell hurriedly moved two steps away from Wen Nan.
Wen Nan first turned his head to look at Beijibei, who looked guilty, and then lowered his head to look at the woman standing at the bottom of the building.
It is also an Arctic clam, but it is not as beautiful as the Junbei clam. It is just an ordinary brown-black shell covered with algae and dirt.
"mom."
Jun Beibei called out cautiously downwards.
"……mom?!"
Wen Nan shouted in disbelief.
The woman downstairs looked at the sea cucumber with suspicion, then looked at the white Arctic clam again and angrily ordered: "Get down here!"
Jun Beibei slowly turned away from the handrail, let her skirt hang down, and moved downstairs. Wen Nan followed closely behind her.
Her mother stood at the entrance of the corridor, brows raised, looking angrily at Jun Beibei approaching, as if she was ready to lose her temper at any time.
But turning her head to look at the sea cucumber following behind her, she finally restrained the urge to lose her temper in front of outsiders, and just suppressed her anger and asked: "Why don't you go to evening self-study? Who is he? What are you two doing on the rooftop at this time, so close to each other?"
If it were in the past, Jun Beibei might have been flustered when facing her mother's questioning, and would have tried to explain. But at this moment, seeing that the school was already in dire straits, she was too tired to deal with these trivial matters at home. She did not explain a single word, but just asked back:
"Why did you come here suddenly?"
"What's your attitude?" Jun Beibei's mother lifted up a small box in her hand and shook it vigorously, making a rattling sound. "I saw the temperature was rising, and I was worried that the medicine you left in the dormitory would go bad, so I came here in the middle of the night to bring you a freezer box. But what about you? You actually learned to skip classes?"
When Jun Beibei saw the medicine box in her mother's hand, a trace of guilt flashed in her eyes, but she quickly whispered, "I'm not sick, it's you who are sick..."
"What did you say?" Mother's voice became shrill again.
Jun Beibei looked at the water droplets condensing on the outside of the medicine box, and suddenly raised her head, looked at the other person, and grabbed the edge of the other person's skirt holding the box, "Mom, you also feel it, right? The temperature here is very abnormal. There is something wrong with this world."
The mother was speechless after being asked.
She stared at Jun Beibei blankly, her eyes actually turned red and tears welled up in them.
Without directly answering Jun Beibei's question, her mother asked her: "Beibei, you are alone in the dormitory. Did you listen to your mother and take your medicine properly?"
This time, it was Jun Beibei who was stunned.
After a pause, Jun Beibei said, "Yeah, I've been eating."
The mother stared into her eyes and said nothing more for a moment.
Jun Beibei was stared at by the other party with a scrutinizing gaze. She tried to straighten her back, without dodging, and looked back at the other party.
The mother and daughter just faced each other in silence.
I don't know how long it took, but in the end, my mother was the first to give in. She nodded slowly and said, "Okay, I'll eat as long as I keep eating. I'll eat as long as I keep eating."
She stuffed the freezer into Jun Beibei's hands, took Jun Beibei's hand, and walked towards the playground, "Come on, Beibei, go finish your evening self-study."
The freezer had a metal shell and was as big as a small suitcase. It looked very heavy, and it was difficult for Jun Beibei, who was so small, to lift it.
Wen Nan quickly moved to her side, lifted up Ji, and took the freezer in his hands.
Jun Beibei turned her head to look at him and opened her mouth to say something, but she glanced at her mother on the other side and ended up saying nothing.
Wen Nan was now closer and could clearly see the row of numbers on the side of the white shell, hidden under the dazzling light. Unknowingly, it had changed again.
[Candidate: No. 1; Testing phase: Phase 1; Cumulative progress of obsession value: 60%.] It seems that during Jun Beibei's conversation with her mother just now, her obsession value increased by another 15%.
Just as I was lost in thought, Jun Beibei's mother asked, "Are you from this school too?"
Wen Nan turned around and found that the other person was looking at him. He smiled and said, "Yes, Auntie, my name is Ye Cancan, and I'm in the same class as Jun Beibei."
The brown-black Arctic Shell wrinkled her yellowed skirt when she heard this. "Why don't I remember there being a student like you in Class 2?"
This statement was somewhat based on appearance. Jun Beibei was a little annoyed and whispered a warning: "Mom!"
Wen Nan didn't feel offended. He had heard similar questions too many times and was used to them. He still smiled gently and said, "I just transferred to another class today."
The mother nodded, responded, and then whispered to herself, "It's only the first day since he transferred here, and he's already skipping classes with Beibei..."
"Mom!" Jun Beibei couldn't bear to hear it anymore, "I took him to the staff dormitory."
The mother looked at the white shell next to her in disbelief.
Jun Beibei glanced at the brightly lit teaching building next to her and pulled the hem of her skirt out of her mother's "hands". "Mom, let's go up by ourselves. You go back first and check how much ice we have at home. Try to store as much as possible. Be sure to prepare for the extreme high temperature within one day. It will be too late if you are late."
The mother looked at Jun Beibei deeply and nodded, "Okay," and then said, "You go up first. I will watch you go back to the classroom, and then go home and prepare immediately."
Jun Beibei led Wen Nan and turned to walk towards the teaching building.
As soon as he stepped onto the stairs and entered a blind spot where his mother couldn't see him, Jun Beibei's face, which had just had an innocent student look, immediately faded away and was replaced by a cold expression.
She said in a deep voice: "My mother doesn't believe me."
Wen Nan paused, and looked at the shell of the white Arctic clam again——
[Candidate: No. 1; Testing phase: Phase 1; Cumulative progress of obsession: 70%.] In just a few minutes, it had increased by another 10%.
While Wen Nan was stunned, he heard Jun Beibei continue to say: "She, like everyone else, thinks I'm sick.
"She just agreed to my request just now, just to calm me down. When I return to the classroom, she will go to Teacher Liu to ask for my dormitory check-out during my evening self-study and let me go back home.
"That way, she can personally monitor my every move and prevent me from making further 'mistakes'."
Wen Nan sighed softly.
I always feel that the relationship between this pair of Arctic clams is not like that of mother and daughter at all, but rather like a pair of enemies in a spy drama.
As they were talking, the two of them had already walked to the classroom door.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Jun Beibei deliberately walked to the side of the corridor, leaned on the handrail and looked out. Sure enough, she saw her mother still standing there, looking up in the direction of Class 2.
Jun Beibei waved at the other person with the hem of her skirt, and the other person also waved at her, indicating that she should go back to the classroom first.
Finally, Jun Beibei and Wen Nan returned to the classroom together. The brown and black Arctic clam standing downstairs sighed softly, retracted his gaze, and walked towards the teacher's office on the other side.
"She's gone."
After Jun Beibei returned to the classroom, she kept staring at the door vigilantly. Not long after, she stood up again and was about to go out again.
Wen Nan immediately stood up and wanted to leave with her.
Jun Beibei lifted the edge of her skirt and stopped him, "I need to go back to the girls' dormitory. It's not convenient for you to go in."
After that, as if she was worried that Wen Nan would be disappointed, she quickly added: "I will take care of things in the dormitory and come back to see you right away. I promise to fulfill my promise to you before and never eat - well."
Jun Beibei was halfway through her words when the man opposite her shoved his thorn into her soft flesh, interrupting her from saying the next word.
"If you say a few more words like this, even if Qiaozi doesn't want to take you away, she will probably be forced to take you away in the future. Do you know that?" Wen Nan said, sighing and shaking his head.
Jun Beibei was stunned for a moment, then her eyes curved with laughter, the edge of her skirt moved slightly, and she said indistinctly: "Hmm, my chicken is broken."
As she spoke, the soft edge of the skirt brushed against Wen Nan's "palm", bringing a warm and itchy feeling. Wen Nan felt that the slight itchy feeling that could not be scratched seemed to spread across his entire "arm". He quickly retracted the thorn and rubbed it on himself again.
Jun Beibei looked at him strangely, then turned and left.
After just two steps, Wen Nan caught up with her and said, "I'll wait for you downstairs of your dormitory."
Jun Beibei paused and looked at the other person with a bit of scrutiny.
Wen Nan coughed uncomfortably and explained, "You have too many flags. It's easy for a shell like you to run around everywhere and get into danger. I need my male protagonist halo to help you neutralize the magic of the flags on you."
Jun Beibei shook her head and her smile deepened.
She felt that the night ginseng was a truly magical sea cucumber. Why was it so calm when the end of the world was approaching? Why was it treated as an alien by its classmates and teachers, but it didn't care at all?
However, it was this strange sea cucumber that brought her unprecedented happiness and made her no longer feel lonely.
…
…
There were a lot of seafood coming in and out of the girls' dormitory. The dormitory manager was an elderly tiger prawn. When she saw Wen Nan, a sea cucumber, approaching, she immediately turned her eyes towards him and stretched out a pair of tentacles towards him like two sharp swords.
Wen Nan wisely stopped at the door, returned the freezer to Jun Beibei, and said to her, "Go upstairs. I'll wait for you here. If you have any questions, please call me in the corridor."
Jun Beibei smiled and nodded, carrying the metal box, and walked quickly into the dormitory corridor.
The girls' dormitories here are all four-person rooms, with two bunk beds placed side by side on both sides of the dormitory windows.
However, there were only two girls living in Jun Beibei's dormitory - less than a month after Jun Beibei moved in, these two girls found excuses and moved out.
Jun Beibei’s only roommate is called Yu Xiaoluo, a snail with a lighter color and beautiful texture.
When Jun Beibei returned to the dormitory door, Yu Xiaoluo had just finished taking a shower. She walked out of the public shower room at the end of the corridor with a towel on her head and a small basin at her side.
As soon as she saw Jun Beibei, she smiled and called out "Beibei", walked up quickly and asked, "Why did you come back so early today?"
Jun Beibei responded ambiguously and asked, "Did any teacher come over to talk about withdrawing from the dormitory just now?"
Yu Xiaoluo was stunned for a moment and shook her head, "No, I was in the shower and didn't notice it. What's wrong, Beibei, do you want to check out?"
Jun Beibei glanced at the corridor and said, "Come in and talk."
Yiluoyibei opened the door and walked in.
As soon as Jun Beibei stepped into the room, a round little thing quickly jumped out from the balcony and rushed to her "feet".
It was a Clam, commonly known as a sea clam.
The clam was only as high as Jun Beibei's ankle, and like Jun Beibei, it was also snow-white.
At this moment, the white clam was like a puppy, excitedly circling around Jun Beibei's "feet", shaking its shell constantly and shouting, "Mom! Mom!"
When Jun Beibei heard this inexplicable name, he looked at Yu Xiaoluo suspiciously, "Have you trained its model? Why is it barking again?"
Yu Xiaoluo shook his head. "No, isn't it an artificial intelligence? It has trained itself, right?"
Jun Beibei picked up the white clam and pressed a few buttons on the bottom.
Clam immediately changed the name: "Bei Bei! Bei Bei!"
Jun Beibei breathed a sigh of relief, but before she could completely relax, she heard the clam in her arms start to scream again: "I saw my father on the balcony!"
Jun Beibei's breathing stagnated.
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaoluo looked towards the balcony with a gossipy look on her face, "What father?"
Jun Beibei said in a deep voice: "There is something wrong with its chip, don't listen to its nonsense."
At this time, Hai Guazi fully demonstrated his intelligence and argued loudly: "I am not talking nonsense! I saw him downstairs in the dormitory. Maybe he has a change of heart and decided to come and visit his long-lost illegitimate child!"
Jun Beibei: ...(End of this chapter)
