Chapter 42 Senior 9
Even though the trees halfway up the mountain are young, some of them are still thick and tall that do not match their age. Their dense branches and leaves cover half the sky. The sky outside Tanshan Park is still bright twilight, but the sky inside the park is already as dark as night.
The orange twilight behind Lin Yanzhou gradually dimmed as he approached.
He stood in the shadows, his overly pale lips pressed into a sharp line. Wei Jingan actually saw a look of jealousy on his face.
That's strange.
She subconsciously pinched her fingertips, a small movement she made when she was nervous. The pain from pinching her fingertips could temporarily divert her from the uneasy or strange emotions.
People always have narcissistic moments. When others look at them inadvertently, they may think that the other person is interested in them, or someone else's inadvertent behavior may be interpreted with different meanings in the eyes of different people.
Lin Yanzhou is handsome, tall, has excellent grades, and comes from a wealthy family. How could he possibly like her?
He may feel sorry for himself!
He almost fell into the mouth of a giant octopus, but he managed to escape. He inevitably felt a sense of responsibility towards the girl he had saved.
Wei Jingan thought gloomily.
Lin Yanzhou walked straight between the two of them. Wei Jingan took half a step back and stood with Zhao Jingze.
She raised her eyes and stared at him: "Is there anything I can help you with, Senior?"
The skin wrapped in the outer clothes bulged out strangely, and the man's fair skin suddenly grew black and red tentacles. Under the cover of dim light, they crawled along his back, sticking out halfway, and then retracted.
No one noticed this scene.
Just as no one could discover the storm hidden under Lin Yanzhou's calm expression at this moment.
The dinner specially prepared for Wei Jingan seemed like a joke. She actually went for a walk with Zhao Jingze after he left. The way they talked and laughed was like pouring hot oil on his burning heart.
I really want to eat the boy as food at this moment.
He thought maliciously, but his expression was as cold and indifferent as ever: "Your leg is still injured, it's best not to move."
Wei Jingan followed Lin Yanzhou back to the car. She was sensitive to his low mood and didn't dare to speak.
Sitting in the back seat, Lin Yanzhou closed the car door.
With a bang, not only was the view of people outside blocked off, but the two were also trapped in a dark and enclosed space.
On her way back, Wei Jingan noticed tents set up everywhere, groups of two or three. Though she only glanced briefly, she noticed people standing in front of each tent. She still didn't know where to rest for the night.
The car is a good choice.
The car has a large space. Lin Yanzhou turned on the reading light, and the warm yellow light illuminated every corner of the car. There were no decorative items, and the original leather seats were retained. The pure black exterior was simple and steady.
There was an inconspicuous aromatherapy device placed on the air-conditioning outlet. It was a simple black round body. The scent of the aromatherapy device was a light peach fragrance, which reminded her of the peach tree planted in her grandmother's yard.
Whenever the peaches ripen, she always picks the plumpest and sweetest ones to give to her husband who supports her.
But a car is a very private place for its owner.
Just like Zhao Wenwen said, Lin Yanzhou might not refuse her out of kindness, but he was unwilling to do so after all.
Wei Jingan was immersed in her own imagination and ignored Lin Yanzhou's almost crazy eyes. It was an impulse that wanted to devour her immediately, a desire even stronger than the giant octopus she met at the bottom of the lake.
She came back to her senses and suggested considerately, "Senior, let's go out and talk."
He suddenly curled his lips: "Go out?"
His tone was a little cold and his eyes were heavy.
Wei Jingan was stunned for a moment, then saw him pinching his brows in annoyance and asking her, "Are you familiar with him?"
She repeated to herself three times, "Lin Yanzhou can't possibly be interested in you," before finally calming her trembling heart. Under his almost penetrating gaze, she answered honestly, "We're not very familiar with each other. We just happened to meet. He heard I fell into the water and expressed his concern for me..."
"Care?" Lin Yanzhou sneered.
Wei Jingan closed her mouth and said no more.
She didn't know what had happened to Lin Yanzhou. His emotions were so turbulent, all she could do was sit quietly beside him. She looked well-behaved, her eyes gently gazing at Lin Yanzhou. Under her focused gaze, the restless and evil shadow seemed to be soothed.
Lin Yanzhou lowered his eyes for a moment, then handed the well-packaged bag to her.
"Eat this," he said.
Wei Jing'an took it with both hands. Inside the bag, in a cardboard box, was a steaming sandwich, filled with milky toast and topped with strips of pork floss. The verdant lettuce and crispy-cooked steak were mouthwatering. There was even a poached egg in the middle.
Smelling the aroma, Wei Jingan's stomach began to growl.
Lin Yanzhou opened the partition in the middle of the back seat, lowered his eyes and stared at the partition that separated the two of them for a long time, then closed it as if nothing had happened, holding the warm chocolate milk in both hands, and had long since abandoned the plan of taking it slow.
He said, "There is a Western restaurant in Tanshan Park. The food is delicious and much healthier and more nutritious than their barbecue. There is also a cup of hot milk. Would you like it?" He asked the question knowingly in a gentle tone.
Wei Jingan nodded and wanted to take the hot milk.
Lin Yanzhou sat leisurely, holding a glass of milk in one hand and opening his laptop with the other. He said to her, "You need to eat, but it's inconvenient to hold it. I'll hold it for you. I'll take care of something."
After he said that, Wei Jingan didn't dare to disturb him.
But I couldn't help but feel little pink bubbles popping up in my heart. Even if it was just wishful thinking, I just regarded this experience as a beautiful dream.
The sandwich was delicious. Thinking that it was bought by Lin Yanzhou himself, the delicious taste and the pleasant message sent by the brain made it the most delicious sandwich she had ever eaten!
Wei Jing'an took a large bite, stuffing her cheeks with it. Lin Yanzhou was absorbed in his work, so she couldn't make any noise. She chewed carefully, tasting the fried egg, the sweet aroma of the sauce, and then the faint smell of blood.
It's steak.
A bite of the steak reveals its true interior, its compact texture shrouded in dark red blood. It's not cooked, or perhaps too raw.
Wei Jingan didn't feel nauseous at all and ate it all.
There were a few knocks on the car window, and Lin Yanzhou lowered the window.
Zhao Wenwen smiled and said, "Jing'an, why are you still in the car? We found some beautiful flowers nearby. Do you want to come and see them with us? It's so boring to be alone. It's so hard to get out."
Lin Yanzhou looked at her.
Wei Jingan smiled and said, "Okay."
…
Zhao Wenwen and Zhang Wei were roommates. When Zhao Wenwen was a freshman, her academic performance was not good and her family was not well off. The quota for poor students was taken by other students in the class whose families did not need the funds at all.
But she needed it. Zhang Wei learned about her situation and helped her find a well-paid job, solving Zhao Wenwen's predicament.
Zhao Wenwen has been particularly good to Zhang Wei ever since. In her heart, Zhang Wei is the kindest and most beautiful girl in the world. When she saw that Lin Yanzhou, whom Zhang Wei liked, was being seduced by a junior schoolmate, she felt unfairly angry.
Wei Jingan knew exactly why she came.
She followed Zhao Wenwen to a remote area of Tanshan Park. Tanshan Park was full of green plants, with only a winding path paved with cobblestones.
The two stood in the shadows.
This was probably the first time Zhao Wenwen had played the villain, and her attitude was affected. "Your name is Wei Jing'an, right? If you'd been more sensible, stay away from Lin Yanzhou. You're a freshman, so you might not know what's excusable. Just check out the school forums. Lin Yanzhou and Zhang Wei are universally recognized as the perfect couple! If you interfere in their relationship, you'd be like being the third party, understand?"
Wei Jingan listened to her patiently and said, "They are not a couple."
Zhao Wenwen said impatiently: "Not now, but in the future! Stay away from Lin Yanzhou. If you make Zhang Wei unhappy, I won't let you go..."
She was a sturdy woman, considered physically superior to her peers, so when she faced the frail Wei Jingan, the size difference was obvious.
Wei Jing stood quietly in front of her, the soft moonlight shining on her face, giving her a strangely well-behaved and peaceful look.
She put her hands at her sides, not caring at all about what Zhao Wenwen said or did.
Zhao Wenwen continued, "I won't let you have an easy time...ah!"
A soft black and red touch came from somewhere and wrapped around Zhao Wenwen's neck. Ever since she started earning money from her part-time job, she never treated herself badly in terms of diet, and the soft flesh on her neck was squeezed out.
A hoarse sound for help came from his throat.
What is this?
Wei Jingan was startled.
My body instinctively recalled the fear of being wrapped by the tentacles and stretched towards the huge mouth. At that time, I was just too scared and calmed down. Now when I think about it again, I just feel terrible and disgusted and want to escape.
Wei Jingan did exactly that, she turned around and ran.
Zhao Wenwen fell to the ground with a loud thud. The sound was like the wail of a dying person. Her neck was strangled, causing blood circulation to be cut off, and her entire face turned blue and purple.
Just when she was in despair, footsteps came closer.
Wei Jingan left and returned.
She picked up a sharp stone on the side of the road, about the size of her two fists. She held it high in her hands and walked towards Zhao Wenwen.
The tentacles looked hideous and terrifying under the soft moonlight.
What a disgusting thing it was. The dark red soft tentacles were as thick as a forearm, and black veins covered the entire length.
Each of the octopus's tentacles has neurons distributed throughout them, allowing them to survive for a period of time even if separated from the octopus's body.
Is this the tentacle that fell off the octopus?
Not really.
The one in front of me looks even more evil and cold.
Zhao Wenwen's tears flowed when she saw Wei Jing'an walking towards her with light footsteps. At that moment, she seemed to see death reaching out to her. Just when she was about to be caught, Wei Jing'an came.
She looked frail and delicate, as if she would break at the slightest gust of wind, yet he came to her side, carrying a heavy stone.
Zhao Wenwen sobbed.
She looked like she was about to die. Wei Jingan didn't waste any more time. She bravely took the risk and pinched the tentacle that was thicker than her arm. The sticky, wet and cool touch instantly penetrated her skin.
The dark red soft touch slowly loosened the shackles, allowing Zhao Wenwen to breathe.
Wei Jingan's back was covered in cold sweat. She took a deep breath, raised the stone, and smashed it at the half-meter-long octopus tentacle. Once it was attracted by the stone, it would definitely wrap around her neck in an instant, just like it did to Zhao Wenwen.
It looks evil and cruel, and must be a creature that has done many evil things.
However, unexpectedly, after it left Zhao Wenwen's neck, it sensed the danger coming, but did not make any resistance. It just hooked Wei Jingan's ankle.
As the stone fell on the soft surface, sticky black blood splashed out and Wei Jingan's body was covered with its blood.
It slowly and strugglingly crawled to Wei Jingan's side. Wei Jingan widened her eyes in horror, but saw that it only wrapped around her wrist with very light force.
She had a strange feeling—
It was as if it were kissing her gently.
Wei Jingan knelt on the ground, frozen, the black and red soft tentacles dragging the bleeding "body" as if raising it with all its strength, the sticky and soft head, surrounded by black veins, fell on her lips with the desperate courage before death.
Then, it fell into her arms.
The wind rustled, the scattered hair beside her ear blurring Wei Jing'an's vision. She stared intently at the soft tentacle in her arms, which she had killed with her own hands, and unexpectedly felt a strange sensation. At this moment, her hands were holding a black and red tentacle that was beyond human cognition and difficult to accept.
I actually felt heartbroken.
