23 Menggui High School (23)
It's so ugly
Seeing that the boy was almost curled up into a red shrimp from being bullied by his words, Qin Fu'an still did not let him off easily.
Unburdened by the tentacles, he lightly brushed off non-existent dust from his school uniform, a slight smile playing on his lips, and sighed slowly in the cold wind, "Little Xie, so I'm quite delicious in your eyes after all."
"..." Xie Yunhuai had already quietly covered his ears with his hands.
As long as he can't hear, Qin Fu'an's nonsense won't affect him at all.
Seeing that his ears and neck were almost completely red, and that he was huddled up in a small ball, looking pitiful as if he had been bullied, Qin Fu'an silently raised his eyebrows.
But before he could say anything more to make Xie Yunhuai want to escape the dungeon overnight, a greedy and crazed head quietly peeked out from the dark and narrow passage ahead, like a ghost.
It immediately locked onto the two people sitting against the wall, its dark, blood-red eyes strangely curved, filled with a bloodthirsty madness.
The next second, it rushed towards the two of them, its long neck stretching out in a terrifying length on the rooftop, and with its mouth wide open, it bit down on Xie Yunhuai first.
The moment it appeared like a ghost, Qin Fu'an and Xie Yunhuai were already on alert. The instant the head, which was not similar to the headmaster but had the same abilities, rushed towards them, Qin Fu'an was the first to grab his steel rod and stand up.
"Be careful!" Xie Yunhuai hurriedly warned, his eyes quickly scanning the surroundings, wary of other similar monsters that might appear from the edge of the rooftop.
The instant Xie Yunhuai finished speaking, Qin Fu'an's steel rod just happened to bypass the monster's head and smashed hard into its long neck that was dragging on the ground behind it.
"Crack—!"
With a sharp, cracking sound, the steel rod in Qin Fu'an's hand bent into a distinct arc, but the monster also seemed to have been hit hard. Its head, which had been raised like a snake, suddenly lost its strength and slammed to the ground, and its neck writhed wildly, trying to retract, as if it had been struck at its vital spot.
"Since you're already here, don't rush off." Qin Fu'an's tone was heavy, and as soon as he finished speaking, the deformed steel rod in his hand slammed down hard on the same spot again.
"—!!" The monster suddenly let out a painful groan, roaring and struggling as it twisted its almost broken neck, its eyes filled with sharp hatred as it looked at Qin Fu'an.
It's so ugly.
Qin Fu'an disgustedly smashed its dark, hollow eyes.
“With its neck stretched out so long, and its head raised to bite people…” Qin Fu’an frowned deeply, stepped on the monster’s head, which was covered in red and white slurry after being smashed flat, and said in a deep voice with a gloomy expression: “If you want to learn from snakes, then you have to bear the consequences of having your vital spot broken.”
However, he did not approve of this strange human-snake hybrid, so he had to expel it from the snake register immediately!
No one expected Qin Fu'an to act so decisively, and to strike at the opponent's vital point without showing any of the friendly treatment he had given the monster during the day.
You know, during the day, he used his silver tongue to fool a lot of people in the school, even managing to get his hands on the identity of a substitute teacher and the props in the supermarket.
As night fell, it was normal for the monsters to become ferocious, but Qin Fu'an's sudden change to ruthlessness was something no one, including the viewers in the live stream, had expected.
It seems that ever since he met Teacher Zhang on the rooftop, he has never shown any mercy.
With the immediate crisis resolved, Xie Yunhuai neither loosened his grip on his weapon nor showed the slightest surprise at Qin Fu'an's actions.
Perhaps it was because in his eyes, Qin Fu'an was just that kind of person; the Qin Fu'an during the day... was merely wearing a cunning exterior.
The real Qin Fu'an was not a frivolous orator, but a humanoid monster stained with blood and built from piles of white bones.
"Next time you slander me, Xiao Xie, you can first deal with your own hidden souls."
Suddenly, Qin Fu'an's carefree voice rang in my ears.
Xie Yunhuai's body stiffened, then he turned his back to Qin Fu'an, his breathing gradually softening, and he slowly closed his eyes as if resigned to his fate.
He forgot.
But now Qin Fu'an has reminded me again.
It's not just about speaking ill of Qin Fu'an in your heart.
Rather, it was... what Qin Fu'an had said to him while covering his eyes earlier.
More than his soul, Qin Fu'an preferred...
Xie Yunhuai belatedly realized and softened his breathing: So, what he said was true.
"I didn't insult you, I just... wanted to compliment you."
"I want to praise your soul... I love them very much."
"...In my opinion...you are cuter than them."
The palpitations and panic that came to mind so late, the belated sense of helplessness and the trembling feeling that made it hard for Xie Yunhuai to turn around and face Qin Fu'an, who had said those words.
His fingers were clenched into fists, but he still couldn't control his chaotic and painful heartbeat.
It wasn't that she was moved, but rather that she finally realized that Qin Fu'an's kindness towards Xie Yunhuai was selfless and didn't expect anything in return from Xie Yunhuai.
Xie Yunhuai had encountered many "classmates". Some watched him die with indifference, some pushed him off a high building with their own hands, and some saw his specialness and tried their best to be nice to him and win him over to protect him.
Xie Yunhuai has sensed a wide range of emotions from these people—good and bad, indifferent, pitying, and malicious.
But in Xie Yunhuai's eyes, these people all had ulterior motives and were trying their best to get something from him.
Later, Xie Yunhuai died earlier and earlier, and his communication with his "deskmate" became less and less, so even the "good intentions" filled with interests and calculations were lost.
Qin Fu'an's appearance broke the cold distance between him and his "deskmate," forcibly closing the gap between them. In just one day, he had approached Xie Yunhuai countless times without permission.
Xie Yunhuai guessed that Qin Fu'an, like those people before him, also had ulterior motives towards him.
Xie Yunhuai was powerless to resist the approach of that scorching heat. He shamefully pushed and then accepted, but he always maintained a degree of rationality, coldly weighing whether the benefits he gained and the benefits he would be asked for in the future were equal.
Even when Qin Fu'an took that bite for him, Xie Yunhuai did not waver much, at most he would make more concessions in future exchanges of benefits.
He had a good plan, but he didn't see that the weights on both sides of the scale were swaying and quietly tilting.
Until Qin Fu'an covered his eyes, trapping him between his body and the wall, and said those strange and absurd words with a smile.
Only now did Xie Yunhuai finally realize, much slower than usual, the subtle tenderness hidden in every word of those words.
The scales tipped completely toward the side named Qin Fu'an.
It turns out that there really are people who can add countless weights to their own position with just one sentence.
