"Regardless of the outcome, if you fail, you will still be eliminated."
The girl chuckled nonchalantly, "I know."
The system was speechless, as if it had encountered a village ruffian.
As if a suffocating breath was stuck in the vent, the emotionless mechanical voice somehow conveyed a sense of despair: "Host, are you still going to their brawl with the other school?"
Yu Ning's shoe toe turned in a different direction.
"I'll think about it."
A moment later, the question mark above the system's head grew larger and larger, and it finally asked, bewildered, "Host, what are you doing?"
Yu Ning didn't reply. She took the red brick out of her schoolbag again and muttered to herself, "The brick won't do. It's too heavy."
She then picked up a gleaming iron hammer, examining it closely. "This one's good. One hit and there'll be no more trouble..."
But when she finally learned that the equipment in the equipment room was not allowed to be borrowed out of the school, Yu Ning had no choice but to pick up a stone on her way there.
The group of people just now also talked about the meeting place.
When Yu Ning arrived, a group of people had already gathered in the alley. Their view was blocked by a big tree at the corner, so their movements were not very clear, but they could hear the two sides arguing fiercely.
She glanced at the time; the local police station area code was already entered on her phone's dial pad.
She took a deep breath, gripped the stone in her hand, and walked into the alley where the battle was taking place.
The next second, the system even exclaimed in shock before Yu Ning could: "What's going on?"
Yu Ning's tense arms slowly relaxed.
There was no fierce fight as expected; instead, two groups were playing chess back and forth.
"Jump! Jump the vault!"
"...Set up the cannons!"
Xie Jingcheng is not here either.
Yu Ning walked towards a boy wearing Yingchuan school uniform and black-rimmed glasses, her smile gentle and polite:
"Excuse me, where are you...?"
"Playing chess, can't you tell?"
The quiet boy with glasses looked up in confusion, paused when he saw her, blushed slightly, and chuckled awkwardly, "Oh, we're from the same school."
The muscular man opposite her, who was deep in thought while holding a chess piece, glanced at her with annoyance and said, "Tsk, how come you're so blind at such a young age?"
I thought the seemingly delicate girl in front of me would be so embarrassed that she would cry, but her gaze suddenly softened, even more so than when she saw someone from her school.
The muscular man: "…………?"
After being scolded, Yu Ning finally felt a sense of reality.
That's more like it; she thought she'd wandered onto the wrong set.
Yu Ning looked at the boy with glasses again, "I thought you guys were fighting... turns out you weren't."
The boy's first reaction was that her tone was strange, but the situation was urgent, so he didn't think too much about it and waved his hand: "We don't do that kind of hand-to-hand combat anymore. Brother Cheng has set the rules. Let's decide the winner with chess."
After saying that, he glanced at Yu Ning and said, "I think I remember you. You're from Class 6, right? It's normal that you don't know since you haven't been here for half a semester."
Ultimately, it all started when Cheng-ge agreed to help them fight, and Chao-chao's sister almost got caught on video. From then on, Cheng-ge established this rule: anyone from another school who provokes them must be dealt with according to the rule.
Hey, you know what, this chess game is actually quite interesting.
Yu Ning's smile remained unchanged: "I see."
A suspicion I had in my heart is being confirmed.
She glanced at her watch, then turned and left.
The muscular guy from No. 11 Middle School had his underlings pat him on the shoulder: "Boss, your car's gone!"
The muscular man chuckled smugly: "Don't think I don't know that. I don't even own a bicycle!"
The younger man changed his story: "Your shared bike was stolen."
The muscular man was shocked: "What?!"
He quickly turned his head and saw the girl who had just walked away walk up to Xiao Lan and unlock her phone.
"Stop right there! That's my car!"
Yu Ning put her feet on the ground after getting on the bicycle, tossed a fist-sized rock into the corner with a blank expression, and smiled politely: "Now it's my bike."
Although her smile was very attractive, there was a strange sense of dread about it.
Before anyone could react, they suddenly felt a gust of wind brush against their faces!
The beautiful figure rode away on her fiery wheels.
utter silence: "..."
After a while, a student from No. 11 Middle School said:
"...Your Yingchuan is truly full of extraordinary people."
"...You're wrong, they're from the same generation."
...
Yu Ning sped along the road, almost kicking the shared bike until it sparked, and finally arrived at the dessert shop where she was working part-time just one minute before her check-in time.
After tidying her messy hair, she pushed open the glass door, put on her work clothes, and took over the work of the previous employee, starting to pack desserts for the customers who had ordered.
This dessert shop is in a good location and usually has a lot of customers, but the peak time is after 6 pm. It was only a little past 5 pm now. After the customers left one after another, she silently stared at the traffic outside the shop. No one knew what she was thinking.
The system, in particular, couldn't capture her mental activity.
Yu Ning, who was spacing out, suddenly felt something was wrong in the corner of her vision. She initially thought it was just a double image caused by not blinking for too long.
Until her gaze shifted slightly downwards and she saw a small, round face staring blankly with longing in the dessert display window, "?"
Her two chubby little hands were pressed against the glass display case, her adorable face, like a glutinous rice ball, getting infinitely closer until her pert little nose was almost touching the glass window. Her round almond-shaped eyes reflected the colorful desserts, as beautiful as the glass balls that Yu Ning loved to play with when she was a child.
