Weird Dream
The incident happened at 5:54 p.m. Jiutang finished school early, and classes ended at 5 p.m. Yu Li and the others dawdled for a while before going out to eat. When they came back, it was exactly 5:54 p.m.
One minute earlier, the three would have entered the teaching building; one minute later, the three would not have come into close contact with the corpse.
It's neither early nor late. If the task publisher hadn't reminded them, they might be in the hospital now.
After the incident, the patrol immediately reported it to the school board. Although calling an ambulance was useless, the school still called one. As for Yu Li and others, they don't have to work overtime. If the psychological pressure is too great, they can skip future activities. If the situation is serious, they can also take a leave of absence.
After all, not everyone has the courage to smile and say it's okay after seeing this scene.
Song Min-jung's legs gave way immediately. If Yu-ri and Choi Taek hadn't supported her, she would have sat on the ground and refused to get up. She was timid and inexperienced, and the scariest thing she'd ever encountered was the ghosts in the amusement park's haunted house, who would scream and bang at people in the face with whatever they had.
The ghost thinks she is scary.
Because the activity was about to start, there were far more people staying in the school than expected. No one was allowed to enter or exit the main entrance of the teaching building, and everyone could only leave through the side door. Yu Li and others were too lazy to go upstairs to pack their schoolbags. Who cared about schoolbags and homework at this time?
Song Minjing shivered as she got into the family car. Her clothes were a horrible sight, all red and white. Song's mother came to pick her up personally. The first time she saw Song Minjing, she wanted to cry. She had three children, and Song Minjing was the most useless, but also the most obedient and the one who brought her the most joy.
She held Song Minjing in her arms, the luxury car drove away, and only Yu Li and Cui Ze were left at the school gate.
"Are you okay?" Cui Ze asked, looking at his hands. His hands were clean. He wanted to tuck Yu Li's messy hair behind her ears, but he didn't dare to reach out easily.
"It's okay." Yu Li thought for a while and said, it was definitely affected because she was facing it head-on... but it wasn't to the extent that she was scared to the point of being speechless like Song Minjing.
The incident happened so suddenly that she still didn't know who the deceased was or why he jumped from the building. As an aristocratic private school, Jiutang should have been responsible for several deaths in the novels, but it hadn't. As far as Yu Li knew, this was the only case in recent years.
There are people who have been bullied, Gao Zhuyan is an example, but he still persisted. Most people choose to transfer schools. Everyone's family is not poor, and if you can't stay in this school, you can go to other schools. If you can't stay in China, you can go abroad. If you really don't want to go to school, you can stay at home.
"It's just a little unexpected." Yu Li tilted her head and carefully observed Cui Ze's expression. Cui Ze's pupils were very deep, and it was difficult to see any emotional fluctuations. So far, his voice was steady. "Are you okay?"
Cui Ze finally moved and reached out to tidy up Yu Li's long hair. The hairpin in her hair was crooked, so he took it off and put it back on Yu Li.
"I'm fine." If you're fine, then I'm fine.
Yu Li nodded. Seeing the car that Quan Zaijing often drove to work coming from afar, she said goodbye to Cui Ze and got into Quan Zaijing's car.
After Yu Li left, Cui Ze took out his phone and sent a message: "You can come over now."
A car drove out from the corner. It was Cui Ze's father's private driver, who arrived very early.
In the car, Yu Li took off her school uniform jacket directly. Quan Zaijing gave Yu Li a wet towel and wiped it himself without caring about the marks.
Yu Li endured for a few seconds but couldn't help but say: "Can you be a little gentler?"
My face turned red from rubbing it.
Quan Zaijing froze, then slowed down his movements: "Mom and Dad are already rushing home."
After receiving the news, he was closest to Yu Li, so he came to pick up Yu Li. Quan Weihe specifically called and told her that if Yu Li cried, he should comfort her softly and not say any cold words.
He felt that Quan Yuhe was overthinking it. Quan Yuli would never be scared to tears over such a thing. He knew Quan Yuli.
...But I can still say words of comfort.
"Do you need a psychologist?" Kwon Jae-kyung asked. Excessive stress can lead to a series of problems such as insomnia, nightmares, emotional instability, and may even cause neurasthenia.
"No need." Yu Li glanced at Quan Zaijing and refused directly without even adding a "temporarily".
She had an indescribable strange feeling: "Brother Jing, I don't feel scared, or even scary. Is there really something wrong with me?"
She didn't even tell Cui Ze about this, as she thought it was a very private matter.
Quan Zaijing didn't even need to think: "If it wasn't you who encountered this kind of thing, I wouldn't even look at it twice."
What does it have to do with him if a student at Jiutang gets into trouble? Everyone has their own responsibilities. His responsibility is to manage the company well, striving for maximum profit for himself while also meeting the employees' demands for salary increases. Similarly, the school's responsibility is to educate and manage students. If a student gets into trouble, the one who should be afraid is the school, not other innocent people.
Yu Li seemed to be persuaded, but the strange feeling in her heart still lingered. She asked the task publisher, "Can't you send this task in advance?"
Quest publisher: "If you have any conscience, you will come to thank me instead of blaming me."
Is that a mission? It's clearly a warning. If it weren't for it, would Quan Yuli still be able to sit here and chat with it?
Yu Li scoffed, "Kwon Jae-kyung said the Kwon family has no conscience."
Task publisher: "I didn't realize you were still a loyal supporter of Quan Zaijing."
Yu Li: "I just think he's right."
"What's going on today?"
Quest publisher: "Seeing is believing. If in doubt, please explore on your own."
...Okay, okay, we can get rid of this task publisher. It keeps talking nonsense all day long and is totally useless.
Perhaps guessing Yu Li was cursing it in her heart, the task publisher poked its head out again: "There is one thing that makes me sad. You may have forgotten our agreement."
Yu Li closed her eyes. She wanted to go home and take a shower quickly. "No need to talk nonsense."
Quest publisher: "If 'you'll be punished if you don't complete the quest' is bullshit."
Yu Li opened her eyes quickly. What she had just received was a warning, not a task. This was definitely not what the task publisher was talking about. Looking back, she had completed all the recent tasks... No, there was one thing she hadn't completed.
Yin Yancan may have taken a shortcut, but the result was that she did not get first place.
When she was in the first grade of primary school, the task publisher released a task: [Get first place in every exam in school]. In the first few years of primary school, she and Cui Ze were fighting each other. Although the questions were very simple, she lost to Cui Ze several times.
At that time, the task publisher will issue a punishment. The punishment is also very simple, and you can just say it is for her own good.
【Get xx's likes】
When she was born, the quest publisher said that the main quest was to live past the age of 20, and the side quest was to win everyone's favor, but she didn't need anyone's favor. She had no interest in pleasing others, so she always pretended to be cool and kept aloof.
The task publisher must correct this.
Yu Li was speechless for a moment: "Who are you trying to please this time?"
Considering that the task publisher has been paying a lot of attention to Gao Zhuyan recently, it couldn't be Gao Zhuyan.
What did she say to Gao Zhuyan last time? "You are not even a speck of dust in my eyes."
I was dying of laughter, and then he turned around and said affectionately, "How can dust compare to you? You are obviously my eyeballs."
hehe.
However--
"This isn't about gaining anyone's favor."
Hmm? Yu Li closed her eyes again: "What is that?"
Quest publisher: "After your coming-of-age ceremony, you'll choose your marriage partner, right?"
Yu Li: “Yes.”
Li Xianzhu had already told her jokingly, "I hope our Yuli will choose a Chinese partner to marry in the future. Mom still hopes to see you often."
If you choose a foreign country, Yu Li might go abroad with you.
Li Xianzhu doesn't want to see this situation. The businesses of the Li family and the Quan family are getting bigger and bigger. She hopes that Yu Li can choose one of them to inherit.
Yu Li felt something: "You want to specify the marriage partner."
The task publisher mentioned the marriage at this time and it couldn't be that he wanted her to open her eyes and find a good one. She could have a good AI, but it definitely wouldn't be a task publisher who was parasitic on her.
Task publisher: "Yes."
The task publisher didn't keep the secret: "Cui Zhengyu, marry him."
Yuri:?
Yuri:......
Yuli:.
She had suspected Gao Zhuyan, Bae Haocheng, and even Cui Ze, but she never expected it to be Cui Zhengyu.
How is that possible? Choi Jung-woo has such a decent face.
Yu Li: "Change the punishment."
Task publisher: "I accept defeat."
Yuli:.
Task publisher: "Besides, you're already thinking about how to cancel the engagement if you're not satisfied with Choi Jung-woo after the marriage. Set a trap for Choi Jung-woo? Make him disappear?"
Yu Li snorted in her heart. Whether she should say it or not, the task publisher still understood her.
When they arrived at Yanhua Manor, Yu Li's face was still dead silent. Quan Zaijing looked around and wondered if he was wrong. Was Yu Li really scared?
That shouldn't be the case. He reached out and wanted to pick her up, but Yu Li opened her eyes in time: "I'm fine, I'll go back to my room first."
Lee Hyun-joo and Kwon Byung-hyuk were waiting in the living room. Yu Li said hello and ran upstairs. She was really fed up with her clothes. She took a shower in the bathroom for an hour and used up a whole bottle of shower gel.
When she came out, she smelled so good that Quan Zaijing sneezed from a distance, and Yu Li couldn't help but sneezed too.
Forget it, I’ll go back and wash it again.
It was two hours later when they sat down. The kitchen brought a light soup. Kwon Won Hyuk looked at Lee Hyun Joo, not knowing how to comfort his little daughter.
His parents didn't teach him that, and he didn't teach him that at school. The person who scared Yu Li was already dead, so he couldn't possibly poop out that corpse. He wasn't that crazy, was he?
It was Yu Li who spoke first: "Don't worry about me, I'm fine, but I probably won't go to school for the next two days."
If she went, everyone would think it was weird.
"Just rest at home." Li Xianzhu said, touching Yu Li's hand, which was warm. She was not scared.
After feeding Yu Li some soup, the three adults told her to go to bed early. They would be at home tonight and she could just call them if she needed anything.
Yu Li nodded obediently. The school had ordered a blockade on what happened tonight until it was fully investigated. Not many people discussed it, but many people still sent messages to Yu Li asking about her situation.
She checked the time, turned off her phone, and went to sleep in bed.
I thought I would sleep through the night, but I still had dreams in the early hours of the morning.
The pure white color, the expensive fabric, the blooming flowers, the exclamations in my ears...
Yu Li frowned, sweat breaking out on her forehead. She couldn't wake up.
Someone was lying on the ground, surrounded by many people. She pushed through the crowd and could only see a glaring red.
I feel so dizzy and it’s hard to breathe.
Yu Li suddenly opened her eyes and sat up from the bed, the quilt covering her face, which might have caused her difficulty breathing.
She took several deep breaths of fresh air and calmed down. Her last impression of this dream was the knife stuck in the dead man's chest.
