Chapter 290 Regret
Before going to bed at night, Tang Jiayi still hadn't returned to the dormitory.
Everyone prayed silently in their hearts, hoping that she was just delayed because of something at home and not that she really had an accident.
The next day, Lan Ximeng came to Tang Jiayi's door and knocked gently, but got no response.
"Oh." Lan Ximeng shook her head helplessly, turned and walked out of the dormitory, walked towards the classroom, intending to study.
After arriving at the classroom, Lan Ximeng glanced at the classmates. Including herself, there were 30 people in total, not one less.
"Hi! Sister Lan, Happy New Year!" When Hu Hansan saw Lan Ximeng come in, he immediately stepped forward to greet her enthusiastically.
"Happy New Year." Lan Ximeng responded. At this time, she noticed that Hu Hansan had a long scar on his left cheek extending from the corner of his eye to the corner of his mouth. She couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Your face? What happened?"
When Hu Hansan heard his face being mentioned, he immediately perked up and began to describe his "heroic deeds" during the riot in a vivid and eloquent manner.
"At that time, my high school classmates and I made an appointment to go to the arcade in the square to play games. Who could have imagined that an explosion would occur? The situation was urgent. I held a child in my left hand and an old man in my right hand, and jumped down from the building with them without hesitation. I finally saved their lives. After that, I ran to the security post with my classmates, picked up weapons, and started killing orcs one by one."
As he spoke, he pointed at the scar on his face and continued, "Later, I ran out of weapons and ammunition. I had no choice but to use cold weapons to fight the orcs. This scar was left at that time. Back then, I was..."
While Hu Hansan was talking, his classmates gathered around and listened to his bragging with great interest.
"Why don't you remove the scar on your face?" a classmate interrupted Hu Hansan and asked curiously.
Hu Hansan scratched his short hair a little embarrassedly, and said with a simple smile on his face: "I plan to use credits at school to make up for it. It costs more than 10,000 yuan to go to the hospital, which is too expensive. There is a discount at school. It only takes 100 credits. I can earn it back by taking some tasks later."
"It costs ten thousand yuan! It's so expensive!" a classmate said in surprise.
“Yes, the government paid for all my other injuries. Originally, the government said that they would help me remove this scar as well, but I didn’t want to waste the government’s resources. After all, there were too many people injured at that time.” Hu Hansan looked proud and felt that his refusal at that time was extremely noble.
"Well done, you are worthy of being a student of our military academy." A classmate patted Hu Hansan on the shoulder and expressed his appreciation for his behavior.
"By the way, Sister Lan's family also suffered from that riot." At this time, a classmate turned the topic to Lan Ximeng.
Lan Ximeng, who had been listening to everyone's conversation, didn't expect the topic to suddenly turn to herself. She was a little distracted just now, and when she came to her senses, she said: "Yes, I was waiting for a flying car at that time, but I waited for almost an hour and didn't get it. Not long after..."
Lan Ximeng omitted the key plot of encountering the silver orcs and being "captured", and briefly talked about other things.
"How amazing! At that time, I could only kill an orc by cooperating with others. I didn't expect that Sister Lan could fight against a team of orcs!" After hearing this, Hu Hansan's admiration for Lan Ximeng was beyond words.
Other students also began to praise Lan Ximeng. They thought to themselves that if it were them, it might take two or three people to deal with one orc, but Lan Ximeng could fight against a team alone. The gap was too big.
"No, no, it was just luck!" Lan Ximeng said modestly, but she really enjoyed everyone's compliments in her heart.
"Okay, everyone go back to your seats." The teacher's voice rang out at this time, and everyone realized that the class had already started.
Seeing that the teacher was already standing on the podium, the students returned to their seats one after another, ready to listen to the class attentively.
"This class is about federal law..."
Lan Ximeng was listening to the class seriously when she suddenly saw Wu Xiuying send a message in the group chat: "No more."
After seeing this message, Lan Ximeng's mood instantly fell to the bottom.
It was hard for her to accept that her roommate, with whom she had lived for two years, was gone just like that.
"Damn orc!" Lan Ximeng cursed secretly in her heart.
Because of this sudden news, Lan Ximeng was unable to concentrate on her classes for the entire day and was frequently distracted.
"get out of class is over, let's go eat!"
"No, I need to go to the infirmary and get my scar removed first."
"Hey, I'll go too. I'll go see what's going on!"
"The infirmary is not open to just anyone. You should go to the cafeteria to eat!"
After saying hello to Lan Ximeng, the classmates walked out of the classroom one after another.
Lan Ximeng returned to the dormitory and saw Wu Xiuying and Ouyang Ling crying sadly. In the dormitory, the three of them had the best relationship. Now that one of them has left, they are naturally the saddest.
"I, we..." Ouyang Ling sniffed and choked up, "We asked the teacher, and the teacher said, said that Jiayi happened to be out playing at that time! Wuuuuu!"
Tang Jiayi's family is an ordinary family. The travel expenses to other planets are a considerable expense for them, and they have never heard Tang Jiayi say that she has plans to travel.
Lan Ximeng comforted them with a few words, returned to her room, and simply drank a nutritional supplement.
"I never thought something like this would happen." Lan Ximeng pulled the black ball out from her shadow, and while gently ravaging it, she talked to herself.
She lay on the bed, raised her hands high, looked at the black mass in her hands, and murmured: "Is human life so fragile?"
The next day, the school forum was filled with posts from students about their classmates and roommates who had lost their lives in the January riots.
The originally active class also became quiet in such a heavy atmosphere.
"Hello, I'm your new teacher of the Superpowers class. My name is Zhou Zhihang, and you can call me Teacher Zhou." A young man stood on the podium and introduced himself to the students below.
Except for Lan Ximeng, all the other students were very surprised to see that the teacher of the supernatural power class had changed from Yanwu to Zhou Zhihang.
A classmate raised his hand and stood up and asked, "Teacher Zhou, can we know why Teacher Yanwu stopped teaching us?"
"Well," Teacher Zhou tapped the podium with his fingers and said vaguely, "I'm not sure either. It's said that you want to travel around the world."
“Travel around the world!”
"I really envy the teacher. I will do the same when I have time in the future!"
"Then teacher, will Teacher Yan come back in the future?"
"I don't know, maybe." Teacher Zhou knocked on the table and said, "Okay, let's start the class now!"
Lan Ximeng knew about Yanwu. He came here to attend classes just like Lan Yuncheng. Teacher Yan probably won’t come back to teach in the future.
The students who didn't know the situation were all thinking about how to "cheat" Teacher Yanwu out of his money when he came back, and ask him to treat them to a nice meal.
