Chapter 15 Chapter 15 Wen Qian was so frightened that he almost let go and fell...
Wen Qian was so scared that he almost let go and fell down. There was actually someone here!
What’s going on? Why is there an NPC on the tree? Is this a bug?
At this time, Xiao Wen still maintained his style of being polite to others.
"Student Chu, please move aside. I want to come up."
The person in front of her frowned and seemed unwilling to help her, but Wen Qian didn't have that much time to think about it.
The faint sound of footsteps below made her face change. She tightened her grip on Chu Lingyu's arm even more, and climbed up the branch using her hands and feet, squeezing in a space under Chu Lingyu.
The muscles of the arm that was being pulled by the girl tightened, and the blue veins on the back of his hand flowed along the cuff into the shirt jacket. Chu Lingyu's breathing became disordered for two seconds.
The people around him really seemed to have no idea what propriety was. They squeezed close to him, holding onto his arm without letting go, and even clasping their other hand on his shoulder, practically hanging on him.
Chu Lingyu, who was about to jump down from the tree and leave, froze like a sculpture.
Sometimes Wen Qian felt that this game was not very smart, but sometimes he felt that it was too smart.
——She was just wandering around complaining about not meeting anyone, and the next second the student union members were sent right in front of her. Let it go, it was more or less in line with common sense.
But she never expected that the game would actually send an NPC in on her way to escape, and even put the NPC on a tree.
Look how scared the NPC is! He's so nervous!
Wen Qian patted the other person's tense forearm soothingly, and as expected, was met with a fierce glare.
She didn't care at all, and was only focused on triggering the task from the person in front of her - the game placed him on the path of her escape, there must be a reason, this NPC might need help.
It couldn't be that he was here all along!
"Good afternoon, Chu." The girl said in a relaxed tone, remarking on the beautiful weather today. "I didn't expect to meet you here. We are truly destined to meet..."
After making some casual opening remarks, Wen Qian, who thought he had created a good atmosphere, finally revealed his true intentions.
"Excuse me, do you need any help?"
Chu Lingyu's tense expression never relaxed. He glanced at the girl who was swaying on the edge of the tree branch while asking the question and sneered.
"Help me?" The hoarse ending voice spread in the solitude created by the treetops. "Why not help yourself first?"
He lowered his eyes and glanced at Wen Qian's hand holding his arm: "Let go."
Chu Lingyu was about to jump down from the tree holding his school uniform, but he was hindered just as he began his movement - Wen Qian didn't let go.
Of course Wen Qian would not let go. She was afraid that she would fall down the next moment if she let go. Although the branch was thick, it was somewhat impossible for it to squeeze two people under it.
As a latecomer, Wen Qian did not have much space to steady herself, so she could naturally lean against the tree trunk.
The main reason was that she used Chu Lingyu as a stabilizer.
She felt a little embarrassed when Chu Lingyu started talking. If this was a mission...
After noticing that there was no special mark above the other person's head, this hesitation was quickly put aside.
"That won't work."
After saying this, he hugged the other person's arm tightly, as if he was determined to live and die with Chu Lingyu.
"Okay, stop being so stubborn. If the branch breaks because of you moving around, I'll use you as a scapegoat when I fall."
The kind-hearted person who had just asked the other party if he needed help now issued a cruel threat.
Wen Qian carefully looked at the several student union members walking towards him, and at the same time did not forget to urge the stubborn NPC who still refused to issue the task.
Chu Lingyu tilted his head, and the girl's hair, which was not tied up when she came close, fell on the side of his face, making him feel slightly itchy.
A hint of sweet orange scent lingered around him, like the scent of some kind of shower gel or shampoo.
"Do you want to die?" He frowned.
"Rather than wanting to die, I'd rather know what you need me to do for you." Wen Qian looked a little distressed. "You really don't need my help?"
She had thought that Chu Lingyu was different from other NPCs. After all, he was the one who came with his own quests when he first appeared. Compared with other NPCs who required her to trigger them in various ways before they could receive their quests, Chu Lingyu was much better.
But why can’t the task be triggered now?
Could it be that the love letter mission is a benefit for new players?
Not far away, the sound of fallen leaves being trampled could be heard along with the voices of people talking. The two people who were arguing in the tree stopped at the same time and looked in the direction of the sound.
Several people with student union badges on their chests walked into the grove and stopped near the tree where the two were hiding.
Wen Qian's breathing slowed down a bit. After seeing the items that showed their identities, Chu Lingyu made a sound of displeasure.
"Someone from the student union?"
Wen Qian keenly sensed the displeasure in his tone and immediately developed a sense of solidarity.
"So they're from the student union?" she asked solemnly, "Why are they here? Are they looking for you?"
The tone was so natural that no one could hear anything unusual.
Chu Lingyu was led astray and his face suddenly darkened.
But at this moment, the people around him were still adding fuel to the fire.
"They've already found their way here. Why are they looking for you? Can't you let them find you?"
Chu Lingyu was upset and cursed Bai Qi and Lu Yanbai over and over again in his heart.
"Student Chu." Wen Qian poked Chu Lingyu, his voice so low that it was almost a whisper, "Now, do you need help now?"
"If you don't need me, I'll leave. This place is too narrow and I can't sit still any longer."
"Tsk." Chu Lingyu grabbed Wen Qian's arm with his backhand. When his fingertips touched her skin, they subconsciously shrank as if burned, but he still held her down in the end.
"Don't move."
He didn't care about those people in the student union. Their identities were a certain deterrent to ordinary students, but Chu Lingyu never considered this.
And these people could not and dared not put on airs in front of Chu Lingyu.
What Chu Lingyu was bothered by was Lu Yanbai behind them.
Chu Lingyu didn't need to guess why these people dared to come to him at this time, knowing that it must be related to Bai Qi and Lu Yanbai.
He didn't expect that Lu Yanbai was serious this time. He asked people to search for him everywhere just because he skipped class. Is that interesting?
Wen Qian didn't say much and kept quiet as Chu Lingyu said - she didn't intend to let that group of people discover them.
Chu Lingyu didn’t know why those people appeared here. Didn’t she know too?
not to mention--
[Receive the task——ask for help
Someone around you seems to be troubled by some problems, please help him
Tip: Remain quiet until the student council members leave
Reward: Experience +20, Gold +5]
Xiao Wen sighed inwardly, thinking that the tasks that were forced upon him were worthless.
Looking at the backs of the student union members who left because they couldn't find anyone, Chu Lingyu curled the corners of his mouth.
"Lu Yanbai must be crazy." He cursed with an unhappy face, "Isn't he busy enough with the Student Union's affairs? He has nothing better to do than to come and trouble me."
The real culprit stood next to him without saying a word.
I didn't dare to speak out, for fear that it would be discovered that someone else was the mastermind behind the incident.
But if she doesn't say anything, will Chu Lingyu find out that she is feeling guilty?
"Well, yes." Wen Qian joined in righteously, "Lu Yanbai, just hearing the name tells you he's not a good person."
Chu Lingyu frowned and looked at her, which made Wen Qian break out in a cold sweat.
After a while, he nodded with satisfaction: "You have good taste."
Chu Lingyu casually put his school uniform jacket on Wen Qian. He stretched his shoulders, supported himself on the branch and jumped down. When he landed on the ground, he half-bent his knees to absorb the force.
He raised his head slightly and looked at Wen Qian who was still hanging on the tree. His hands were spread out with his sleeves rolled up to his forearms. His forearm muscles were slightly bulging, and above his wrists were red marks from being gripped tightly, which had not yet faded.
"Come down."
He raised his outstretched arms and looked up at Wen Qian.
Wen Qian nodded in understanding, picked up the school uniform jacket that the other person had forgotten to take off, and threw it at the boy with his arms spread out.
The school uniform that was thrown away fell directly on his head. Wen Qian, who misjudged the direction, coughed twice, quickly looked away, and climbed down reluctantly while holding onto the tree trunk.
Wen Qian finally climbed down from the tree. When he looked up, he saw Chu Lingyu turning away without even saying hello.
Was it her illusion? Why did she feel like he wasn't very happy?
Because she threw the school uniform in her face? But it was not her fault, since he had spread his arms so wide.
It's just a school uniform, there's no need to make such a fuss.
