Chapter 152: Crocodile Pond
The three dance teams of H University spontaneously organized a celebration banquet and planned to go to a barbecue restaurant or a pub for a meal together.
It's already past ten o'clock in the evening, and only a few late-night snack shops are open on the street.
Finally, everyone chose a pub.
There weren't many people inside, and as soon as the students from H University entered, they took over the entire place.
Su Man and her dance troupe have their own table.
Five tables were put together to form a long table.
Everyone ordered a lot of wine and ate and drank happily.
Lu Xiaomin was off to the side, lost in her own thoughts, and didn't say much. But she wasn't usually very sociable, so no one noticed that something was wrong with her.
In the middle of the trip, Lu Xiaomin went to the bathroom.
Two girls passed by, apparently just coming back from the restroom. They hugged each other and said with lingering fear: "Oh my god, this restroom is so hard to find. I almost went the wrong way. There's a dark window, and I always feel like there's a sinister aura inside."
"I told you not to be afraid. I heard it's an abandoned crocodile farm where people have died!"
"What!? Don't scare me!"
"It's true! This used to be a large oceanarium, and right behind it was a crocodile pool. A staff member went to feed the crocodiles, but he locked the door after not paying attention. While he was feeding the crocodiles, two adult crocodiles crawled up from behind him. He didn't pay any attention at all, and was attacked from behind by the crocodiles and dragged into the pool."
"Ahhhhh... That's so scary. Did he escape afterwards?"
"Escape?! He wanted to escape, but the door was locked, and he missed the best time to escape. There was a pond full of crocodiles. Do you know how strong an adult crocodile's bite is? In the first bite, two crocodiles tore off one of the staff member's legs. Later, the police checked the surveillance and found..."
"That's so tragic!! Isn't this just like... being eaten by a pool of crocodiles?"
"Yes, the police later shot and killed the crocodiles. After the autopsy, they found undigested human DNA in their stomachs, as well as fabric from the clothes the staff member was wearing that day..."
"Oh my god! Oh my god! Please stop talking! I'm scared to death! It's so scary!!"
"Don't be afraid. This place is locked all year round. Normally, no one goes in. After a while, it will probably be demolished from the outside and buried."
…
The two girls huddled together, shivering as they passed by Lu Xiaomin. Every word they said went into Lu Xiaomin's ears.
Lu Xiaomin looked towards the end of the passage...an abandoned crocodile pond?
When Lu Xiaomin came back, her expression had changed.
Everyone noticed she was much more cheerful and amiable, and she even took the initiative to compete in a drinking contest with the students. "We won first prize tonight, it's something worth celebrating! I'm very happy too! Tonight's my treat, everyone, drink as much as you want, and once you're drunk, your teacher, Su, and I will take you home!"
As she spoke, she called the waiter and ordered several dozen more drinks.
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment: "Has Teacher Lu changed? Why is he suddenly so nice?"
Su Man thought that Lu Xiaomin had figured it out and wanted to get along well with everyone. After all, she had won the award this time, and Lu Xiaomin would receive a performance bonus when she returned to school.
"Come on, everyone, let's toast to Teacher Lu. Teacher Lu has worked very hard recently," Su Man helped Lu Xiaomin liven up the atmosphere.
As soon as Su Man made a move, everyone felt relieved, stood up and toasted with Lu Xiaomin.
Because they were so happy, everyone really didn't control their drinking. Later on, the boys who could drink the most started to stagger.
Many people have fallen asleep on the table.
Because Lu Xiaomin and Su Man had to take care of the students, they only drank a little alcohol and both of them were still sober.
Lu Xiaomin paid the bill and came back to say to Su Man, "Teacher Su, this is our last dinner together. I have something to say to you alone."
Su Man looked around and asked, "Isn't it okay here?"
"It's quite embarrassing." Lu Xiaomin said.
Su Man thought about it and said, "Okay, you pick a place."
Lu Xiaomin turned and left.
Suman followed behind.
The two of them walked along an alley, going further and further away. Su Man stopped and said, "Teacher Lu, we are already quite far from the tavern. If you have anything to say, just say it here."
There really aren't many people coming here.
Although it was a summer night, Su Man still felt a chilly and eerie feeling when a cold breeze blew occasionally.
"We've been colleagues for a while now. In the past two years since you came to school, you've been rated as excellent every time and are a well-known figure in the school. Although we didn't interact much in the early days, I always heard about you."
"Yes, Mr. Lu, you arrived at school earlier than me. Strictly speaking, you are my senior. From now on, I will leave the students in your care."
Lu Xiaomin nodded: "This is my duty. Even if you don't tell me, I will do my job well."
"Teacher Lu called me here just to say this? Or is there something else you want to say?" Su Man was puzzled.
Lu Xiaomin turned around and looked at Su Man, a faint light flashing in her eyes, "I want to say...Su Man, why don't you just die?"
Suddenly, Lu Xiaomin's face became extremely ferocious.
She suddenly stretched out her hand and pushed Su Man hard. Behind Su Man was the abandoned crocodile pond. Lu Xiaomin had already calculated the position and distance.
Su Man was completely unprepared as a force rushed towards her. She wanted to reach out and grab something but it was too late. She fell backwards and the feeling of weightlessness came over her.
The crocodile pool was not deep, but Suman still lost consciousness for a short moment when she fell.
Lu Xiaomin looked at the dark pit. After Su Man fell in, she didn't make any sound.
Lu Xiaomin's heart was pounding.
Her actions were quicker than her reason, and she turned and left.
Leaving Suman far behind.
When she reached the exit, she quickly and calmly locked the small iron door. Because it was late at night, when she took Su Man through here just now, Su Man didn't notice that there was an iron door here.
If Su Man found out, she probably wouldn't be fooled.
Lu Xiaomin locked the door and walked back with her head down. Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of her. Lu Xiaomin felt guilty and was shocked!
Standing in front of me was a girl wearing the school badge of H University.
Lu Xiaomin felt that the girl looked unfamiliar and should be a freshman who had just enrolled this summer. One of the three participating dance teams was composed of freshmen.
"Did you see everything?" Lu Xiaomin was alert.
Qiao Shixin was stunned and opened her mouth, "See...what?"
Lu Xiaomin relaxed and asked, "Are you a student at H University?"
Qiao Shixin nodded.
"It's getting late and it's not safe outside. It's not safe for a girl to wander around outside. Let's go back to the team." After saying this, Lu Xiaomin wrapped herself in a thin knitted jacket and went into the pub.
Qiao Shixin stood there, and only then did a look of horror appear on her face.
She actually saw it all.
She had just been following Su Man and Lu Xiaomin, wanting to see what they were going to do, but unexpectedly, she witnessed that scene...
Qiao Shixin was very scared and panicked.
She was so scared that she almost screamed, but she covered her mouth out of fear. Unexpectedly, she ran into Lu Xiaomin when she came back.
She wants to find someone to rescue Suman.
But the thought changed, and he didn't take a step forward.
Why did she save Su Man? Su Man had taken away her happiness and her childhood sweetheart, Song Lin.
Her biggest wish since she was a child was to be the bride of Brother Song Lin, but Su Man shattered her dream and ruined her happiness in this life.
Qiao Shixin looked at the dark venue and stepped back step by step.
If she hadn't seen all this tonight, no one would have saved Su Man.
Well, let's just pretend she didn't see it.
It's not that she didn't want to help Su Man, but she shouldn't have followed and shouldn't have seen...
