Chapter 23 The Puppy is Sad
Gu Nanqiu and Yue Yiyue are both action-oriented. After the long break, they went straight to Zhang Yang's class.
There weren't many people in the class; many seats were already empty.
It was only at this moment that Yue Yiyue truly grasped the meaning of the statement that more than half of the people in the school had died.
So many people died without anyone knowing.
Zhang Yang, who was sitting casually in the middle, had been waiting for a long time.
She knew Yue Yiyue would definitely come to find her today.
But from the moment the two entered the room, her gaze never fell on Yue Yiyue.
Instead, he looked at Gu Nanqiu.
She looked at Gu Nanqiu's puzzled face and said, "Yue Yiyue, sometimes I really don't understand."
"What gives you the right to have Nan Qiu standing beside you?"
She was almost finished cleaning up and would soon be able to fulfill the requirements of the murder mystery game to keep Gu Nanqiu here, so that she could slowly get used to her and accept her.
But Yue Yiyue's existence... ruined her plans!!!
It started when she found Wang Xiaoyan.
And then there's Fanning.
She deserves to die, she deserves to die, she deserves to die.
If Fan Ning hadn't been there that night, Yue Yiyue would have been dead long ago.
Gu Nanqiu looked at Zhang Yang, trying to understand his line of thinking.
But she really couldn't understand it.
"Zhang Yang, tell us how to get back." Gu Nanqiu took a step forward: "We've all passed the exams and are about to start a new life."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yang smiled, but she shook her head with a sorrowful expression: "No, there will be no new life."
Her life came to a standstill the moment the results came out.
And it vanished completely the instant the large vehicle crashed into it.
She looked at Gu Nanqiu standing at the door, even though they were in the same place, yet Gu Nanqiu seemed so far away from her.
Its pure white wings unfurled, instantly turning a rusty red.
One layer on top of another.
Like a shackle, a fetter.
"sure."
Zhang Yang tilted her head, a sinister look on her face, and gave the person in the way a wicked smile.
"Nanqiu, I love you so much, of course I can listen to you and let you go."
After a subtle pause, the intense malice in Zhang Yang's eyes almost materialized, entangling Yue Yiyue relentlessly.
A strong gust of wind blew by, and a paper figure suddenly appeared behind Yue Yiyue.
The paper figure held a thick hemp rope in its hand. The rough bristles of the rope grazed Yue Yiyue's neck, and he was tightly bound.
After doing all this, the paper figure jumped straight down from the window, and Yue Yiyue was dragged up from the ground and slammed against the wall. If he hadn't reacted quickly and grabbed the windowsill, he would have been pulled down in that instant.
All of this happened very quickly. After Gu Nanqiu reacted, she immediately grabbed the rope that was falling down. Seeing that Yue Yiyue's face was already red from holding back his anger, she used a small knife to cut the rope cleanly.
"Zhang Yang, stop being so stubborn." Gu Nanqiu was so startled by the sudden crisis that she almost cut her hand.
Supporting Yue Yiyue, who was panting heavily, she said, "We'll all get out of here. You should come with us too. We can talk about the rest after we get out."
Zhang Yang looked at Gu Nanqiu with an inscrutable expression. After a long while, she gave a self-deprecating laugh: "Nanqiu, I am already dead. I died on the way here."
As soon as he finished speaking, many cracks appeared on Zhang Yang's body, mixed with bruises.
She looked at Gu Nanqiu quietly, not wanting to miss any detail on his face.
disgust?
nausea?
None of what Zhang Yang had anticipated came true.
Gu Nanqiu simply watched her quietly, her small eyes reflecting only her own image.
Zhang Yang subconsciously took a step forward, while Yue Yiyue covered his neck and coughed awkwardly a few times.
She staggered as she tried to shield Gu Nanqiu behind her.
But Gu Nanqiu pressed her hand down.
"Yiyue, I can handle this." Gu Nanqiu looked at Yue Yiyue firmly: "Wait for me here, okay?"
Yue Yiyue hesitated for a moment, then let her strength give way and slumped back to the ground, watching as Gu Nanqiu walked step by step toward Zhang Yang.
At that moment, she felt a strange pang of sadness.
It's like a freshly bought soda being violently shaken.
This strange feeling reached its peak when Gu Nanqiu placed her hand on Zhang Yang's shoulder.
The soda, shaken violently, was knocked over by a passerby and spilled all over the ground, bubbling and gurgling.
Yue Yiyue lowered her head, her stray hairs concealing the loneliness in her eyes, her mind filled with the moment she first met Gu Nanqiu.
That one glance quickly took root in her heart.
After that, he allowed himself to continuously blur the boundaries between the two of them...
Best friend...
————
Yue Yiyue waited quietly, listening to the two people not far away talking.
I don't know what methods Zhang Yang used.
Even though they were right next to each other, I couldn't hear their conversation.
It was as if I was excluded.
This is the first time I've had this feeling since I've been here so long; it's quite a strange experience.
She stayed where she was and waited quietly. For some reason, she remembered that when she used to deliver food, she would sometimes see a little dog waiting for its owner somewhere.
Is the puppy feeling the same way?
Perhaps that would make you happier.
Because puppies know for sure that their owners will come back.
And she...
The hand hanging down on the ground clenched and unclenched.
I'm all prepared. I'll stay here and let Nanqiu go out.
She doesn't belong to this world. Maybe she'll go back when she dies here.
Nanqiu won't do.
Nanqiu is going to a wider world.
Yue Yiyue sat there quietly, waiting.
My neck doesn't hurt as much anymore, but now another area feels sore and swollen.
Yue Yiyue kept reviewing his actions during this period.
She deliberately ignored the moral lapse, and hung her head in frustration, muttering that she would protect people.
What I actually did was...
He sighed softly. It was only right that Zhang Yang wanted him dead.
She just wanted to be Gu Nanqiu's best friend.
Making friends is a difficult thing.
At least for her.
Footsteps sounded, and Gu Nanqiu returned. She stood in front of Yue Yiyue and helped him up.
"Yiyue, why don't you go back first? Zhang Yang and I are going somewhere."
Gu Nanqiu spoke calmly, as if the dangerous incident had never happened.
Yue Yiyue opened his mouth and saw Zhang Yang looking smug behind Gu Nanqiu.
"Will everything be alright?" The words stuck in his throat. In the end, Yue Yiyue simply hooked the hem of Gu Nanqiu's clothes and asked softly.
"Yes, I'll be back. Let's go get your wound treated first, okay?" Gu Nanqiu took Yue Yiyue's hand and led him to the classroom door, her cold hand gently pressing on the unusually conspicuous wound: "Trust me, all of this will be over soon."
