Chapter 97
Jiang Yunu looked at him like a fool: "What are you talking about?"
And even if someone really came to see him while he was washing up, unless they suddenly informed him that another meteor storm was about to hit the atmosphere of the asteroid he lived in, and he would face another natural disaster if he didn't go out, no one would have the face to make Jiang Yunu interrupt his washing and go out to meet him.
Jiang Yunu casually brushed away the wet hair hanging from her shoulders: "Xue Zhanxing, what on earth are you doing here?"
A small stream of water fell to the ground along the hand that Jiang Yunu was using to comb her hair, creating a few wet little flowers on the steps in front of her.
Xue Zhanxing had to raise his eyes, and his gaze swept from Jiang Yunuo's feet in slippers to her clothes.
In Master Xue's life so far, he had never seen a woman dressed like this when receiving visitors - whether elders or peers.
Finally, he stared at Jiang Yunu's face, because he found that looking directly at Jiang Yunu's face seemed to make him more comfortable.
Then, once he was at ease, he spoke in his usual familiar and natural manner.
"I heard that the teams from the last round of practice matches are back, so I came to see you first." Xue Zhanxing said.
Jiang Yunu's expression suddenly became subtle.
"You." She raised her chin slightly, tapped Xue Zhanxing with her chin, and pointed at herself with her index finger, "—you came to see me first?"
Xue Zhanxing said: "Yes."
Jiang Yunu found that the expression on Master Xue's face did not seem fake, and he felt that this matter was very interesting.
"Are you coming to see me on your own behalf or on behalf of someone else?" Jiang Yunu asked bluntly.
Xue Zhanxing, like he did when they first met in Songnan, said hello. He thought for a few seconds and said honestly, "Both."
He quickly added, "But I came so quickly mainly to represent myself."
Jiang Yunu said, "Now you see, I look fine. Even if the next round of the practice match is not postponed and it is suddenly announced that it will start seamlessly right now, I can still go in and play for three days."
Xue Zhanxing subconsciously wanted to look at the other person's whole body again, hoping to evaluate Jiang Yunu's condition by looking at his whole body. As a result, he glanced down and found that the front of Jiang Yunu's coat was open, revealing a very casual and homely vest underneath. He immediately gave up the idea.
He looked intently at Jiang Yunu's face, and finally judged from his mental state and complexion: "You do look well."
Jiang Yunu said, "Is that right?"
Xue Zhanxing: "Well, it's much better than those people originally thought."
Jiang Yunu asked, "Who are they?"
Master Xue, who was always talkative, did not respond as usual and just looked at her.
Jiang Yunu seemed to understand: "I can't say it, it's not convenient to say it?"
Xue Zhanxing nodded.
Jiang Yunu didn't ask any further questions.
Xue Zhanxing came to see her right after the first round of the practice match. In addition to wanting to see Jiang Yunu's condition in person out of friendship, he seemed to have come to give Jiang Yunu another reminder.
"Someone else will come to see you," Xue Zhanxing said softly. "Not tonight. The contestants from the last round all need to rest. Out of humanitarian considerations, no one will come to bother you tonight, but someone will come later."
Jiang Yunu felt that Xue Zhanxing was really interesting. This young master was different from Young Master Xie Shixie. From the school's perspective, they were currently in an opposing competitive relationship. However, Xue Zhanxing always wanted to reveal something to her in advance, but he had to control the amount and could not reveal the whole thing. He could only send her a small reminder from time to time.
Like a little human alarm that works hard but can't let others know that he is working hard in secret.
"Okay, thank you." Jiang Yunu was still very grateful to the humanoid alarm. She smiled before sending Xue Zhanxing away from Enge's small villa.
That smile is genuine.
In any case, at least Xue Zhanxing came to her to show goodwill.
Jiang Yunu doesn't care about the amount of kindness others can give him.
Young Master Xue reminded Jiang Yunu that there would definitely be other people who would come to her to inquire about information. As for the content of the inquiry... it was most likely related to the "mechanical elemental beast" she encountered, and her series of performances in the practical competition.
He also let Jiang Yunu know that at least tonight would be a quiet night.
I have finished washing up and changed into clean casual clothes. On this quiet night, it is especially suitable to visit the people I need to visit.
Jiang Yunu returned to her dormitory and changed her shoes. She lingered at the door of Zhou Jinxue's room for a while, wondering if there was anything she needed to help bring from the dormitory to the medical department. But then she thought, if Senior Zhou had such a need, she should have told the accompanying teacher long ago, and everything that needed to be delivered would have been delivered long ago.
Besides, it wasn't nice for her to enter someone else's room without permission.
Jiang Yunu gave up and turned around to walk out of the western-style building.
When she passed by the living room, she saw several students who were taking a break for the evening. One of them waved to her and called out, "Cheerful Xiao Zhou, come and relax with us. Let's play together for a while!"
Jiang Yunu stopped in the corridor and replied, "No, I need to go out for a while."
She didn't say she was going to the medical department.
Unlike her, she might have meetings with many people tomorrow, and only tonight is quiet. The other students have rest and recuperation time until the practical competition is announced to continue, so they don't need to rush to the medical department to visit their companions like her.
They should get some rest tonight.
The temporary captain of the school team stood up from the sofa and said, "I'll go out for a while too."
Jiang Yunu felt that the temporary captain seemed to be looking for her. After the two of them walked out of the gate one after another, she found a place, stopped and turned around, and saw that the temporary captain was indeed standing behind her.
"Senior." Jiang Yunu said, "Are you looking for me?"
The temporary captain showed a slightly worried look.
That expression appeared on his face when he first heard today that the practice match would be postponed, but it quickly disappeared from his face.
"Xiao Jiang," the temporary captain asked, "You said the next round of the practice match was suddenly postponed. Could this have something to do with us?"
When Jiang Yunu proposed that almost fantastic idea on the field, the Enge school team had never faced the "mechanical elemental beast" with her, nor had they witnessed her extraordinary intuitive insight.
But even in this situation, the Enge school team also cooperated with Jiang Yunu's idea.
The junior schoolgirl was eccentric, and the junior schoolboy believed her eccentricity and volunteered to sacrifice himself. The senior schoolboys followed suit and did something that sounded very bizarre and was not in line with the usual conservative and steady style of the Enger people.
But the people of Enge have a wonderful sense of unity and cohesion.
The temporary captain led the team to cooperate with Jiang Yunu's idea, and all the members of the school team worked together to make a "big one". As for the "big one", it had been taken away by Teacher Lu and placed in the central core area of a small storm.
The temporary captain came to find Jiang Yunu, not because he regretted cooperating with the schoolmate, but because he was worried that they might accidentally do something bad in the secular sense.
"I don't think we did anything bad, senior." Jiang Yunu stood in front of the street light in the courtyard of the western-style building, her tone calm.
At this moment, she really looked like a "little Zhou Jinxue", making the seniors who were about to graduate feel the same pressure as facing Zhou Jinxue.
"If there is really a connection between these two things, and the competition was postponed because of our discovery, then it means that we didn't do anything wrong, but that the 'thing' we asked the teacher to see was indeed problematic," Jiang Yunu said calmly.
The temporary captain was convinced by her point of view.
"Okay." His brows, which had been unconsciously knitted together, relaxed, and he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. "I was just being overthinking it. I accidentally got stuck in a dead end."
Seeing the worried look disappear from the senior's face, Jiang Yunu half-jokingly said, "If a teacher calls our entire team for a talk, you can just say that everyone was forced to do what I wanted because they couldn't stand my persistence."
The temporary captain pressed the schoolgirl's shoulder unhappily.
"What are you talking about?" the temporary captain said. "No matter what, we have to control 'that thing' and show it to the teachers to show them that this was our joint decision."
No matter how complex and changeable the adult world is, with many disturbances caused by unclear reasons and conflicts of interest, most minors are still sincere and straightforward. They just want to advance and retreat together with their classmates and teammates, and will never abandon or forsake anyone.
As Jiang Yunu continued to move towards the medical department, the administrative building where the joint conference room was located was brightly lit.
The "thing" the students were referring to was locked up in a special guard room one floor below the conference room.
The administrative office building wasn't supposed to be used as a guardhouse. However, when Songnan's people suggested transferring the "mechanical elemental beast" to a dedicated department similar to the medical department, Lucy scoffed. Flea's teacher started yelling, "Hey, that won't do!"
Under everyone's gaze, Flea's teacher remained unfazed and spoke confidently, "This is Songnan's territory. We found this thing in the practice field provided by Songnan, and then sent it to the special custody department set up by Songnan. Who knows what it will be like when it is brought back to everyone's sight?"
The teachers of "Curly King" usually didn't get along with the people of "Flea," feeling that they were like troublemakers, always trying to stir up trouble. But, for once, they both agreed on this matter: "This strange elemental beast should be kept where everyone can supervise it."
Therefore, a custody room was opened on the floor below the joint meeting room.
The area is jointly guarded by teachers from four schools and divided into action teams, with each team consisting of at least two teachers from different schools.
The teachers on duty tonight are Lu Xixi and the "King of Curls".
The teacher of "The King of Curls" had long been concerned about Enge's talented white-haired girl. When he heard that the elemental beast was discovered by Enge's school team, he tried to find out whether the girl had also contributed to it and how much she had contributed.
Lu Xixi originally didn't want to pay any attention, but as long as she frowned, more than 70% of the teachers in the joint conference room would immediately lose three points of momentum.
But the teacher of the "King of Papers" was not afraid of her intimidating aura, so the two of them were grouped together. They had to work together until the "mechanical elemental beast" underwent a complete set of examinations and gave an official and credible result.
Lu Xixi was annoyed for a long time. After listening to the "King of Papers" teacher asking questions openly and covertly, directly and roundaboutly, she finally got the idea of showing off to her students.
She thought for a moment and then simply revealed to the "Scroll King" teacher, "She has mastered the supernatural power chain without any instruction."
Teacher Lu was reserved but proud: "——or remotely."
