Chapter 119 A Lifetime of Secrets and Pride



"Mirror Transformation, Glasses Girl!"

The bewildered girl with glasses instinctively obeyed the command. The moment her body got stuck in the door crack, she transformed into a mirror, like a shiny, glass-like humanoid figurine, lying horizontally between the door and the door frame.

The door stopped.

It stared blankly at the sky, watching helplessly as a man and a bear passed by without even turning their heads, rushing away mercilessly.

Glasses Girl: ...You guys are so good at this, don't you have any conscience?!

Every so often along the long corridor, a potted plant stood, its lush greenery adding a touch of life to the otherwise serene school atmosphere. Of course, this also brought life to the girl and the bear, who were hiding behind one of the pots, cautiously watching the tall, thin figure storming back in anger.

The head of teaching affairs had a livid face, clearly indicating that she had returned empty-handed. She took much larger steps than usual, but controlled the sound of her landing. It was evident that a quiet teaching environment was far more important to her than her personal emotions.

The tall, thin figure disappeared completely behind the door. The ceiling light flickered twice and went dark. Fortunately, the old candlesticks hanging on the wall still had a faint candlelight, which prevented the entire corridor from being completely dark.

Cheng Shuang looked curiously at the ceiling. She clearly remembered that when she left the office, the sunlight in the corridor was just right. Could it be that she was seeing things and all the light came from the electric lights?

There was no wind in the corridor, but the candlestick closest to the little girl seemed to be moved by the wind, and the candlelight flickered, immediately distracting the little girl's attention.

Her gaze shifted, and she saw a pointed head casting a dark shadow on the wall, its shape growing taller and taller...

Then a black cloak the size of a thumb emerged from behind the candlestick, slowly flew towards the flowerpot, and landed on her shoulder.

Cheng Shuang breathed a sigh of relief, reached into the sullen monster's cloak and pulled back 'Little Sun's Screaming Chicken,' patted its cloak in appreciation, and then turned around and pinched the bear cub's paw and kissed it to show her affection.

Seeing the close interaction between the person and the two dolls, the bespectacled girl, who had narrowly escaped death and was clinging to the wall, felt inexplicably heartbroken.

Of course, the girl hadn't completely forgotten it. She glanced at the office door twice as she passed by, then turned her head away without any emotion and continued walking towards the stairwell door.

The bespectacled girl, who had been full of anticipation, felt annoyed but had no choice but to reach out and grab the bear's tail to prevent it from actually being thrown off.

The dean's office was very close to one side of the corridor, and the corridor door was a bit old, with a small gap that was just big enough for a person and a bear to pass through.

The stairwell was as dark as ever. Thinking of the many steps that were now much higher than the second floor, Cheng Shuang scratched her face, preparing to climb down in one go. Just as she was about to move, she was stopped by a furry paw.

The bear cub twitched its nose, its dark brown eyes suddenly turning behind it, looking warily. At the same time, its large paws grabbed Cheng Shuang and threw her to its neck.

The little girl could feel the bear cub's muscles tense up; it seemed about to roar but held back its roar due to nervousness.

She mistakenly thought that the head of student affairs had noticed something was wrong and came out to arrest them, but when she turned around, she immediately realized what the problem was.

Light gradually illuminated the limited space overhead.

A mirror hangs on the wall next to this door. At this moment, the mirror surface seems to be covered with a layer of dust. Deep within that dust, a pair of bright red, beady eyes are peering around, greedily searching for something.

Cheng Shuang, alert, quickly covered the mouth of the girl with glasses who was about to scream, gritting her teeth and glaring fiercely at her.

The girl with glasses instantly forgot her panic, her eyes sparkling with hearts as she reached out to pet the adorable yet fierce-looking cat. But the thought was barely formed when the little bear slapped her on the back of the head, nearly snapping her neck...

It still hadn't given up, puffing out its cheeks and squinting its eyes in a particularly lewd way.

Cat paws, so soft!

Originally, she wanted to feel it a little longer, but the little girl withdrew her hand first. The girl with glasses touched her face regretfully, and was dissatisfied that the texture was not as soft and smooth as she had expected. She could only secretly glance at the cat and quench her thirst with longing.

Because of the pig-headed monster and the instrument mirror, Cheng Shuang suspected that she had returned to the library. Unfortunately, at present, only a light bulb above their heads was emitting a faint light, and the visible range was limited to only two or three meters. It was still a blurry and indistinct state.

Cheng Shuang remembers that the library had electric lights.

After hesitating for a moment, she decided not to turn on the light.

Perhaps it was the light that betrayed her, making the pig-headed monster realize that someone was active in the library, which is why it approached step by step, trying to find food.

What should we do?

Are we going to have to repeat the previous steps and go through the cycle of library, dance studio, restaurant again? When will that ever end?

It must be said that the little girl felt lost after realizing she had returned to the library once again.

Although she has managed to escape each time, it doesn't mean she will be lucky enough to get through again next time.

However, they are still different.

Cheng Shuang glanced at the distance between herself and the dashboard mirror and sighed softly.

This time it will probably be even more difficult.

etc!

Suddenly, the little girl had a brilliant idea.

If she goes back to the dance studio and crawls out of the mirror, will she regain her original height?

Thinking of this possibility, the little girl immediately straightened her back with fighting spirit and began to seriously consider feasible solutions.

Or... lure the girl with glasses to the front of the mirror as bait, and sneak out of the library when the pig-headed monster pushes open the door?

The girl with glasses suddenly shuddered, feeling a chill run down her spine. Why was that? She quietly moved closer to the bear cub's thick fur, reaching out her hand covetously... but the bear cub's deep brown pupils swept over her lightly, she turned her hand away, scratched her head, and gave the teddy bear a sweet smile as if nothing had happened.

The little bear withdrew its gaze without any emotion, and stood guard warily behind the little girl, especially at the pair of beady eyes reflected in the mirror, which were filled with strong vigilance.

It still doesn't work.

Cheng Shuang rubbed his head, rejecting the old trick of using the bespectacled girl as bait.

The pig-headed monster must have been starving for a long time, because the girl with glasses only brought it a bean sprout to fill its teeth.

She simply sat down on the ground, leaning against the bear cub's legs, which were as sturdy as stone pillars yet full of elasticity. She took out the case file, and by the dim light, turned directly to the last page. Her gaze settled on the only name with a major title—Song Xiaosha, who damaged books and was ordered to clean the library for a week.

The name looks familiar!

The little girl quickly flipped through the pages and, sure enough, she saw Song Xiaosha's name again in a small mistake she made a few days ago. She had brought food into the library, intending to share it with her friends, but was discovered by the librarian and given a verbal warning.

This young lady is either a bit naive or doing it on purpose!

But why would you deliberately tear up that book?

Cheng Shuang took out her notebook and looked at the information she had recorded about the book 'A Call from Time'. In addition to the timeline, she also made a few simple notes on the content before the torn pages.

It's exactly one sentence—

The selfless Principal Su Qing hid his lifelong secrets and pride in time.
