Without thinking, she turned around and ran towards Yan Qingyue.

"Yuwei?"

Seeing Duan Yuwei, Yan Qingyue was very surprised: "Aren't you going over there to look for beads?"

"Qingyue, I'm really scared." Duan Yuwei wanted to cry but had no tears. She hugged Yan Qingyue's arm and said, "Let's go together. It's really too dark."

“…”

Yan Qingyue was speechless for a moment.

"Okay, but we have to find Sheng Yuan first. After all, we agreed to go separately beforehand, and we can't leave her alone."

Yan Qingyue did not approve of Sheng Yuan's behavior of using money to make Shi Yan obey her in everything. She thought Sheng Yuan was too "capricious" and would have a bad influence on Shi Yan.

But now, it’s two different things.

...If this gets out, others will think that she and Yu Wei are deliberately isolating Sheng Yuan.

Duan Yuwei agreed to anything as long as she didn't have to walk alone. Hearing this, she nodded and started walking towards Sheng Yuan with Yan Qingyue.

The two searched for a long time but couldn't find Sheng Yuan.

At this moment, Yan Qingyue accidentally stepped on something on the ground. She looked down and saw that it was a sign that had fallen down due to loose screws. She subconsciously went forward to pick it up, and saw that it was clearly written on the sign:

[Unopened area, please do not approach.] The side with the reminder was lying on the ground. If Yan Qingyue hadn't stepped on it, she probably wouldn't have noticed the existence of the sign.

So in other words, people passing by here will most likely not notice it.

"Sheng Yuan, she wouldn't go into the unopened area, right?" Duan Yuwei's voice trembled, and she had a bad feeling in her heart.

When Teacher Li mentioned the "non-open area", everyone automatically imagined that the area was a relatively dangerous place and instinctively stayed away from it.

Looking at the dark woods behind the sign.

Yan Qingyue wasn't sure whether Sheng Yuan had really walked in accidentally.

"Where did Sheng Yuan go——"

A slightly tense male voice suddenly sounded behind the two of them.

Duan Yuwei was the first to turn around. Seeing the person coming, she asked in surprise, "Fu Jie?"

* It was indeed as Yan Qingyue guessed, someone did not see the sign on the ground and accidentally walked into the unopened area.

"Lao Zhang, don't you think we are too late? We have been walking for quite some time and haven't found a single bead. Maybe some of my classmates have already cleared the place out."

Zhang Wenqiang's desk mate squatted on the ground with a flashlight in his hand, searching the floor and making puzzled noises.

"No way."

Zhang Wenqiang's tone of answer was also uncertain.

“Wrong way.”

The duo turned their heads at the same time and looked at the boy in the black windbreaker jacket.

Shi Yan stood in a slightly higher position with a calm expression on his cold face. He held a flashlight in his backhand and looked around.

Although there are street lights here, the ground is not as smooth as when we came here. It is more rugged and the grass is deeper. It is obviously a place that has not been regularly trimmed by staff.

They probably entered a non-open area by mistake.

"Oh, no way, let's get out of here quickly." Zhang Wenqiang was startled. He pulled his deskmate to stand up and was about to go back the same way.

Shi Yan suddenly saw something and his eyes froze instantly.

Next second.

Walk over there quickly.

The subtle sound of grass leaves being pushed aside came to her front. Sheng Yuan looked up and met the young man's dark eyes.

“…”

"Why are you here?" Shi Yan frowned slightly.

Sheng Yuan sat on a rock and looked at Shi Yan for a moment. Suddenly he smiled, shrugged, spread his hands, and said, "It's obvious. He's lost."

"How can it be so easy to get lost in this unopened area? I don't see any signboards or anything."

"That's not right. Why are you alone? Where are your other two team members?"

Sheng Yuan: "We went our separate ways."

"Is that so?" Zhang Wenqiang scratched his head. He was actually a little surprised. It was so dark here. Sheng Yuan was here alone just now, but there was no sign of fear on her face. "Then classmate Sheng Yuan, please come with us and leave here."

Sheng Yuan: "Maybe, I can't leave."

Zhang Wenqiang: “Ah?”

"I think I twisted my foot."

At this time, several people noticed that Sheng Yuan was sitting and had not stood up. She kept looking up while talking to them. One of her legs was on the ground, and the other leg was slightly bent, which was obviously abnormal.

The girl was wearing a light purple suit and tight-legged sweatpants. Her slender ankles were covered with socks below the trouser legs, and it was unclear whether the injury was sprained.

But Zhang Wenqiang felt it deeply. The grass here was deep and there were many invisible stones. He almost sprained his ankle just now.

"It's okay, you guys go first." Sheng Yuan didn't look at Shi Yan again, and said with a slight curve of her lip, "I brought a cell phone, I can make a call."

Zhang Wenqiang immediately shook his head: "How can that be possible? It's dangerous to leave you here alone. Besides, I've already checked my phone. The signal here is not good at all. It's sometimes there and sometimes not."

As soon as the words fell.

Sheng Yuan’s phone lit up.

A phone call came in, and the two clear big words "Fu Jie" appeared on the screen.

Sheng Yuan raised her phone: "There's a signal."

She raised her finger to touch the green connect button -

A handsome figure half-crouched in front of him.

Shi Yan turned his face slightly and said in a low voice: "I'll carry you back."

Zhang Wenqiang and his deskmate were silent for a second, looked at each other silently, and saw shock in each other's eyes.

Does the moon rise from the west tonight? Is the academic genius in front of them still the freezing academic genius they know?

In my lifetime, I can actually see the academic genius actively extend a "helping hand" for the first time.

This is simply incredible.

After Shi Yan finished speaking, he turned back, remained in a half-squatting position, and did not urge anyone, waiting quietly for Sheng Yuan.

Where Shi Yan couldn't see, the curve of Sheng Yuan's mouth slowly widened. Without being shy or polite, she reached out and put her hand directly on Shi Yan's shoulder.

"OK."

Feeling the light weight of the girl's body transfer to his back, Shi Yan waited until she lay down. Then he put his hands behind his back and slowly grasped her legs like a gentleman.

He stood up and carried the man on his back easily.

Sheng Yuan's phone was still ringing.

She picked up.

So Shi Yan just stood there without moving.

The boy's sparse eyelashes drooped slightly, his profile was cold, and it seemed that he was not interested in Sheng Yuan's call.

"I'm fine, don't come looking for me."

Sheng Yuan hung up the phone.

The four people followed the original route and left the non-open area.

The class game continues.

Zhang Wenqiang and his desk mate decided to continue looking for beads. They took out all the beads they had just found and asked Shi Yan and Sheng Yuan to take them back to the class camp first.

Shi Yan didn't have a free hand, so Sheng Yuan took the bag. (End of this chapter)
