Chapter 9: One side of the balance... I don't understand what you are talking about...
The status bar at the entrance of the infirmary quickly changed from [Idle] to [Busy].
The moment the door closed, a cold red light instantly shone into Li Ming's eyes. He was so scared that he subconsciously closed his eyes, but soon he understood the situation and couldn't help laughing.
He felt his body was unexpectedly light at this moment.
If the time and place were not wrong, Li Ming really wanted to run a few laps on the playground to relieve his excitement. The biggest difficulty of the day was finally solved by him!
God knows he almost thought that his own people were going to quarrel on the playground.
Li Ming patted his chest with lingering fear.
He calmed down and looked around. Zhou Haoyu's figure was just as invisible as before, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Li Ming scratched his head in distress.
He shuttled between the corridors and lounges, looking for the other person, and finally found him on a public seat quite remote from the school infirmary.
Zhou Haoyu was sitting in a chair, lost in thought.
He had an unlit cigarette in his hand and looked very lonely.
Li Ming was obviously stunned. The gears in his brain turned three times, but he still couldn't think of a reason that could make the dormitory head feel so lost. It seems that today is not that bad...
He walked towards Zhou Haoyu while thinking unconfidently.
Zhou Haoyu hadn't noticed Li Ming yet. He sighed heavily and reached into his pocket with one hand, trying to find a lighter that was still usable.
"You are not allowed to smoke in front of the infirmary." Li Ming couldn't help but stepped forward and said.
Zhou Haoyu froze after hearing this. He looked up at Li Ming, then quietly put away the cigarette. After doing the above, he lowered his head and suddenly asked in a dull voice:
"Li Ming, do you also think I'm useless?"
What didn't work?
Li Ming blinked in surprise. But Zhou Haoyu's words reminded him of the complicated look Zhou Haoyu had shown him every time he made a breakthrough today.
No way…
Li Ming fell silent, feeling something was wrong. He spoke slowly and calmly, "Am I someone who needs to be protected in the eyes of the dormitory head?"
Do you feel ashamed to be protected by such a person?
"..." Zhou Haoyu remained silent.
He opened and closed his mouth several times before he finally found his voice and said, "I just... I just suddenly realized that I didn't seem to have done anything at all..."
In other words, do you still feel ashamed to be protected by him?
Li Ming listened to the other person's words absentmindedly. He turned his head to look at the ivy covering the wall outside the corridor of the academy, and his figure looked unexpectedly lonely.
But before Zhou Haoyu noticed his loneliness, Li Ming immediately chose to hide his unbearable emotions, smiled bitterly and comforted him:
"But I think the dormitory head is very capable. If he hadn't been so decisive, we wouldn't have been able to catch up in time. It's a pity that I'm not very good at speaking, so my words are a bit weak..."
"Why don't I go to the infirmary door and wait for my junior to come out."
Li Ming scratched his head perfunctorily and fled the place of trouble quickly like a poor man fleeing famine, leaving Zhou Haoyu's hand, which he had not yet been able to stop, hanging helplessly in the air.
He seems to have done something wrong again...
Zhou Haoyu looked at Li Ming's receding back, a lonely look on his face.
The communication between the two people did not go smoothly.
But in reality, the time that can make people confused, troubled, and even wavering is always only such a brief moment. When the operation time was almost up to the agreed time, the two people appeared at the door of the infirmary again.
“The wait was unexpectedly long.”
Li Ming pretended nothing happened and winked and teased the other person, "Dorm Head, do you think so too?"
"It's OK, but I feel like today's development is too magical."
Zhou Haoyu responded with a helpless smile.
So both of them chose to ignore the incident that had just happened.
Just as Li Ming was about to say the next sentence, the school doctor suddenly opened the door. The status prompt on the infirmary's doorplate suddenly returned to [Idle].
The multi-handed school doctor's extended mechanical arm quickly retracted behind the consultation table under the gaze of the two of them. The school doctor sat there idly, thinking about something, just like he did when the three college students first saw him.
But this time——
The two college students who came in, without exception, chose to salute him politely first, and then walked quickly towards the bed.
The junior woke up earlier than they expected.
When Li Ming saw him, he was looking at himself in the mirror and making exaggerated and funny facial expressions. His whole behavior pattern was inexplicably like that of a wild man who had never been exposed to a mirror before.
Forehead……
Considering the other party's previous experience, Li Ming decided not to laugh at him.
Li Ming walked to the other's bed with a helpless look on his face. His steps were very brisk. If he was happy that the problem could be solved before, then now he was celebrating after the problem was solved.
Great, I can finally leave the school infirmary.
"Hello, senior."
The moment He Rui noticed the figures of Li Ming and the other person, he immediately bowed enthusiastically and shouted: "Thank you seniors for your help. To be honest, I really thought I was going to die. I really want to thank Senior Zhou and Senior Li for not giving up in the end..."
Countless words of thanks burst out of his mouth.
Li Ming was suddenly at a loss:
Is it true that my junior is so eloquent?
"Call my name." Zhou Haoyu finally said when he couldn't bear it anymore.
"Oh, Brother Hao. Isn't it just to make a good impression in front of your roommates..." He Rui scratched his head awkwardly and smiled at Zhou Haoyu.
"But how can this be called a good impression?" Zhou Haoyu responded irritably.
The relationship between the two people was good from the perspective of others and visible to the naked eye. Li Ming looked around in confusion, and then he finally looked at his junior's face:
I seem to have some memories, but not much...
The male college student with mild face blindness suddenly fell silent. He didn't know how long the gears in his brain turned before he finally discovered the other person's identity from the corner of his memory.
Could this be the junior who previously represented their college in the on-campus speech contest?
"He Rui?" Li Ming called softly.
“It’s me.” The junior student, who looked outgoing and cheerful at first glance, laughed heartily after hearing this, “I knew you were face-blind, but I didn’t expect you to recognize me only now, hahahaha…”
Li Ming: ...
Li Ming immediately glared at Zhou Haoyu beside him in a bad mood: You really say everything outside. Can't you save some face for the people in your own dormitory?
Isn't that because you didn't recognize it at first?
Zhou Haoyu scratched his head angrily.
Li Ming took a deep breath and decided not to dwell on it any more. He looked at the clock on the wall of the infirmary. The current time was 19:56.
The dormitory building’s access control is almost open.
So Li Ming frowned and asked calmly: "What are your plans for the next step? Are you going to continue looking?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the other two people present fell silent.
"To be honest, I'm a little scared now." He Rui laughed dryly with embarrassment.
“If I keep looking, it will be very dangerous…” Zhou Haoyu murmured bitterly.
The answer was similar to what he expected. Li Ming listened to the two people's answers silently, thinking to himself: After all, who knows what other monsters will appear in the school at night.
"Let's go to the cafeteria then."
Li Ming suddenly spoke calmly, "Everyone didn't have a proper meal at noon, so everyone should be pretty hungry now. We all have a lot of classes tomorrow, so now is a good time to go to the cafeteria to scout out the way."
The two fell into speechless silence after hearing this.
It is true that going to the cafeteria is the best option now. Not only for the sake of my chances of survival tomorrow, but also for the sake of being able to understand the current school situation as soon as possible, but...
Everyone present understood that the other side of the "scale of choice" might be the life of their classmate.
"Are we leaving now? Let me put on my shoes first, Senior~"
He Rui suddenly raised his hand in response with a smile. He lowered his head to look for his missing shoes, and pretended to be annoyed in a pretentious tone:
"Oh, if I had known the school would be in such a mess, I wouldn't have asked the seniors to accompany me to look for people. If we hadn't come out today, maybe we could have enjoyed our last peaceful day. I just don't know how my roommates are doing now..."
His voice became weaker and weaker, until the end of his words was involuntarily tinged with a hint of sadness.
Li Ming listened silently, but Zhou Haoyu seemed not to hear it.
He belatedly made a gesture of enlightenment, his brows almost twisted into a "王" shape as he muttered, "How could I forget about Jiang Huai? He was clearly not in the dormitory today!"
Li Ming: ...Uh.
Dormitory head, why did you think of Jiang Huai only now? But don't worry, dormitory head. Anyone in their school may get into trouble, but Jiang Huai will never get into trouble.
This is where the value of the protagonist of the previous comic work lies!
It is not clear how he survived to the end and successfully destroyed the world.
Li Ming was full of complaints in his heart, but on the surface he was stunned for a moment, then said absentmindedly: "In that case, we have to bring more food to Jiang Huai. I don't know if classmate Xiao Wei has starved to death in the dormitory..."
"No, no, no, Li Ming." Zhou Haoyu quickly denied it after hearing it, "I mean that Jiang Huai's survival state is a Schrödinger state."
"Well, dormitory head, you are right. We'd better communicate with Xiao Wei about what to have for dinner." Li Ming replied in a serious tone.
Doesn't this mean that you didn't listen to him seriously at all?
Zhou Haoyu was puzzled after hearing Li Ming's answer, but after thinking for a moment, he somehow followed Li Ming's way of thinking: "Then tell Xiao Wei by the way, and talk to him about what happened today when we return to the dormitory. He may not know what changes have taken place in the school yet."
"That's a good idea. Dormitory Head, please talk to him."
"Okay."
So Zhou Haoyu quickly took out the mobile phone from his pocket and sent a message to his roommate whom he hadn't talked to for a long time.
The junior who finally put on his shoes looked around blankly:
Why don't I understand what you guys are talking about?
