Chapter 9 No pinching, someone was furious.
A soft rustling sound came from the classroom door as it opened and closed.
The desks were scattered and messy, and the stationery was strewn all over the floor.
The girl in leather shoes bent down to pick up the notebook that her classmate had carelessly knocked over. She looked at the two words "day" on it, and slowly, slowly stared at her prey, who was kneeling on the ground, already covered in wounds.
The boy looked at the pigeon in front of him with some fear.
The oversized school uniform obscured his figure; just being stared at made him feel as if he were being choked, with death looming close at hand.
The leaves outside the window were shaking violently, but the whole room was quiet, as if it had been separated by something.
The boy didn't miss this detail, which meant he had no chance to escape.
He lowered his hand and gave a self-deprecating laugh: "Just like that, I've lost my value."
I just didn't expect them to abandon him so quickly.
In the end... we have to leave something behind... We can't just leave it like this...
cannot......
The classroom door opened again, and this time a pair of sneakers appeared.
The boy watched the person walking towards him step by step: "Hahahaha, I see, hahahahahaha—"
He stared, somewhat out of control, at the person who was so familiar yet so unrecognizable, his face contorted with glee: "To die by your hand is my—"

The air grew increasingly humid. Yue Yiyue lay on the bed, his eyes closed, but he wasn't fully asleep.
The scent of the person next to her was more noticeable because of the close proximity. The shower gel smelled nice, but it masked Gu Nanqiu's own scent.
This made Yue Yiyue feel inexplicably anxious.
Yue Yiyue felt that the bed was too small.
But she tried and couldn't fit the two beds together.
The howling wind outside made the leaves make a somewhat eerie sound.
It's like someone standing in an open space outside, sweeping something bit by bit with a broom.
Perhaps they are scattered fragments.
"It's about to rain," Gu Nanqiu said softly, listening to the noise outside. "Is your blanket a little short? Do you want to come over a bit? It might get quite cold in the latter half of the night."
The only response she received was the sound of Yue Yiyue moving over, and the bed creaking as it was shaken.
Now that the two were close together, Yue Yiyue felt a little awkward and covered Gu Nanqiu's blanket tightly, just like he used to do when he put his younger sisters to sleep.
It's just that the people around her have changed to classmates, it's nothing, she told herself.
Thinking about this, Yue Yiyue confirmed that there was still a vacant spot on Gu Nanqiu's side, and that she wouldn't roll off: "Then I'll turn off the light."
Before long, as if to confirm Gu Nanqiu's words, the sound of raindrops hitting the roof tiles came from outside, pattering and gradually getting louder.
A bolt of lightning flashed outside the house, followed closely by thunder.
Gu Nanqiu shifted her body and accidentally rolled into Yue Yiyue's arms.
"Yiyue, I'm sorry." A soft, timid voice came from under the covers.
"Is it because of the thunder?" Noticing that Gu Nanqiu only made such a move after the loud thunder, Yue Yiyue, afraid that Gu Nanqiu would suffocate, pulled Gu Nanqiu out of the quilt.
A flash of lightning illuminated the entire dormitory. In that instant, Yue Yiyue saw clearly that Gu Nanqiu's eyes were brimming with tears, and she was biting her lip, as if she was trying her best to hold back something.
Yue Yiyue touched her palms to make sure they were dry, then hugged her, covering her exposed ear with one hand and gently patting Gu Nanqiu's back with the other: "Don't worry, I'm here."
————
After having a bunch of bizarre dreams, Yue Yiyue didn't look too good when he woke up.
She turned her head slightly to look at the energetic Gu Nanqiu, touched her hand which was still numb and had not fully regained sensation, and sighed.
Gu Nanqiu had already squeezed out the toothpaste, and she then handed Yue Yiyue's toothbrush the same toothpaste.
For a moment after taking the toothbrush, Yue Yiyue was stunned. The scene was too familiar, just like her dream last night.
The person in front of me is just a little more mature.
The place we stayed wasn't this dilapidated; it was much cozier.
Something was sucking at her neck from behind.
Presumably, after seeing Wang Yong's terrifying appearance, Yue Yiyue's brain formed a protective mechanism.
Banishing the chaotic dream from her mind, Yue Yiyue got up and quickly washed up, not wanting to miss breakfast.
If she eats dry bread again, won't the readers criticize her?
To make the female protagonist live such a terrible life.
In the original story, without Yue Yiyue's interference, Gu Nanqiu ate quite well, and she didn't trigger anything that happened after school yesterday.
The warm towel applied to his face brought Yue Yiyue back to his senses.
Well, according to the original plot, that person will harass Gu Nanqiu again today, and this time, in a fit of rage, he will steal all of Gu Nanqiu's books. Fan Ning will once again try to help Gu Nanqiu.
I was dragged to the bathroom during class...
restroom.
What happened afterward seemed to be deliberately obscured by something, and Yue Yiyue could not recall it.
She's gotten used to this over the past few days and isn't surprised anymore.
She washed the towel and hung it aside, then turned her head to look at Gu Nanqiu, who was already dressed and waiting at the door: "I'm here."
————
After breakfast, I walked to the classroom. There were several people gathered at the door, which was tightly closed.
They didn't go into the teaching building, but stood at the entrance, holding books. Some watched the people walking downstairs, while others recited something to themselves.
Seeing Gu Nanqiu approaching, they blinked and ran towards her with different kinds of food, presenting her breakfast like a treasure.
"Thank you everyone, I've finished eating. Please continue eating. Why don't you go into the classroom?" Gu Nanqiu smiled and declined, asking curiously.
One of the girls immediately chimed in, "Nanqiu, I'm Gu Zhi. I'm so happy to talk to you. The air outside is a bit fresher. I was so sleepy when I woke up this morning. It's more comfortable to read here. Nanqiu, come on over!"
Gu Zhi seemed to only then notice Yue Yiyue standing to the side, smiled inexplicably, and gave him a push: "Hey you, you go in first."
He glanced at Yue Yiyue with some disdain and said with contempt, "Do your cleaning duty. Keep things tidy and don't be lazy, you lowlife."
"Don't talk to my friend like that." Gu Nanqiu pulled Yue Yiyue behind her, separating the impolite person in front of her. She still had Gu Nanqiu's signature smile on her face, but the smile didn't reach her eyes.
Could this be the class monitor's accomplice?
What are they plotting there?
Is Yue Yiyue the next target?
No, we must at least protect him. After all, it's all his fault that Yiyue is going through this misfortune.
"How could that be, Nanqiu? I know you're a good person and you'd hang out with these lowlifes regardless of anything else, but we're the ones who are best suited for you." Gu Nanqiu actually looked at her with such eyes. Gu Zhi resisted the urge to record that pretty little expression and gave a flattering smile: "What happened yesterday was just an accident. We've all reflected on it. Don't worry, yesterday's incident won't happen again."
He was attentive and ingratiating, but his gaze was filled with lewd desires.
Gu Nanqiu looked at Yue Yiyue behind her. She didn't show any emotional fluctuation because of what Yue Yiyue said. She just subconsciously protected her waist. It seemed that she was afraid that Gu Zhi would go crazy and wanted to protect her in her arms.
“I don’t need your presumptuous distinctions.” Yue Yiyue’s presence gave her confidence, and she refuted his words, pulling Yue Yiyue’s hand and walking towards the classroom: “I checked the schedule yesterday, and Yue Yiyue is on duty with me.”
Seeing that Gu Nanqiu's hand was about to touch the classroom door, Gu Zhi walked over anxiously: "Don't... let Yue Yiyue open the door."
She stood in front of the door: "Nanqiu, I'm sorry, did I make you angry? I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but only Yue Yiyue can open this door."
Only Yue Yi could leap out.
No, she can't mess this up; it's been so hard.
An opportunity obtained only through disagreement is not acceptable.
Gu Zhi looked at Gu Nanqiu pleadingly: "Nanqiu, you have to be fair. Don't just be nice to Yue Yiyue. Listen to us too. We won't hurt you. We will do everything we can to be good to you. You will be our master, our only master."
"We'll do anything as long as you behave."
The more Gu Nanqiu said this, the more suspicious she became. Was there something waiting for Yue Yiyue here?
Is there still a bucket of water waiting for her there?
Once inside, will you be dragged to some strange place?
Fairness? Who's fair? Who wouldn't harm her?
Hearing Gu Zhi's words, Gu Nanqiu was so angry she almost laughed. She shielded Yue Yiyue, who was observing the situation, behind her and patted his hand reassuringly.
"The fairness I want is for everyone to treat me as an ordinary student, so that my friends and I can study here quietly."
"Instead of all of you standing by and fueling the flames when I saw myself being threatened into becoming a girlfriend by some random, complete stranger, using the guise of doing what's best for me, the most fitting excuse, to hurt me."
Thinking about these inexplicable things, even Gu Nanqiu, who has a very good temper, couldn't help but feel angry about the mess she had encountered in the past two days.
Her beautiful eyes welled up with tears; she couldn't imagine what would have happened to her if Yue Yiyue hadn't been there yesterday.
Why are they so selfish, so eager to treat her like an object?
Can you just give it to whomever you want?
Is it just because it's different here than outside?
Wang Yong's death made Yi Yue seem very scared, so he couldn't let his guard down, he had to stay calm, and he had to find a way to get out.
But I'm only eighteen years old, so why me?
Why did they have to come to a place like this?
What crime did she commit?
The person in front of me, feigning affection, is just like the madman I encountered before.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Large tears uncontrollably slid down her beautiful, porcelain-white face, finally falling to the ground and splashing out teardrops.
She took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and said in a trembling voice, as if using her last strength, to the girl in front of her, "I don't need it. You really made me so, so sad. I hope you never appear in front of me again. You, including that class monitor, you and he are no different. You both made me feel fear, a disgusting feeling of being stared at like an object. I hate you. You ruined my life, brought me to this weird place, and even..."
At this point, Gu Nanqiu broke down in tears.
This should have been her most relaxing summer vacation yet.
Why?
On what grounds?
She just wanted to have some fun with Yiyue, meet her, and discuss things after she went to university.
Why have we ended up here, and we still don't know when we'll be able to get out?
Gu Zhi looked at Gu Nanqiu in disbelief.
Her words were like a sharp blade piercing Gu Zhi's chest.
"No...no..." Gu Zhi looked at the person in front of her with a twisted expression: "Nan Qiu, you...you must have misunderstood something?"
"No, no, don't say that."
"Don't do this."
Gu Zhi blurted out her words without thinking, and hurriedly took a step forward, wanting to grab Gu Nanqiu's hand and beg for her forgiveness, but when she saw the person standing behind Gu Nanqiu, she immediately withdrew her hand.
The soft, hushed chatter that had been playing in the background vanished instantly, plunging the entire corridor into a strange silence.
Gu Zhi lowered her hands, looking at the person in front of her with a lost and dejected expression.
She messed it up...
She messed everything up...
This was an opportunity I finally managed to snag...
Nanqiu cried...
She... she deserves to die...
"I understand... I will listen to you, Nanqiu, please don't cry anymore."
