"If you're struggling to find volunteers, would it be acceptable for me to bring a friend along as well?"
"Yes, but please make sure your friend is also a student from this school."
Jiu Li's eyes lit up. So I could use Wei Feng as a excuse(more like a shield) to avoid Zheng Hu? That's awesome!
"Oh ok, thanks for the information, I'll be on my way now!"
Jiu Li yelled as he ran to find Wei Feng to coax him into applying for the mission.
…
"Uhm, sure..I guess that's fine"
"Oh ok, I'll be sure to inform them that I'm bringing you along, I have to get going now, take care!"
"Take care too..I guess?"
Jiu Li didn't look behind but he could predict that Wei Feng was puzzled because he was cut off before he was able ask questions due to the fact that the mission was briefly described.
…
Jiu Li sauntered down the hallway, his right shoulder lightly grazing against something as he passed by. Glancing at the side, he saw that his shoulder had brushed against Zheng Hu's. Sweat started began to trickle down Jiu Li's neck.
Why do I always bump into Zheng Hu? Just let me just live in peace, undisturbed by his presence! Can I ignore him and silently slip out of this?
Jiu Li swiftly and silently strode past Zheng Hu, hoping that he wouldn't get called out. But in that very moment, his nightmare came true.
"Excuse me, but were you the person in the classroom the other day?"
Jiu Li's heart sank.
As if misfortune was smiling at Jiu Li, his head started to throb.Great, I even have a headache on top of encountering the protagonist!
Everything started to blur in Jiu Li's vision as his head throbbed.
"___!"
Jiu Li heard a voice call out to someone. Must be Zheng Hu. And that was Jiu Li's last memory before he lost his consciousness.
Huh?
Jiu Li's vision had been restored—well, mostly. There were just a few things he couldn't make out. But wait—didn't that moving object seem familiar? Isn't that ME?
Jiu Li tried to move, but his body didn't respond. And followed was what Jiu Li had identified to be himself was…Zheng Hu?
As Jiu Li's vision recovered, he made out that he was running looking anxious while Zheng Hu was chasing(?) him with a crazed look in his eyes.
The Jiu Li that was running now reached a dead end as Zheng Hu closed in. The corners of his mouth were lifted, curving into a smirk.
"If you're such a fan of running, I'll just have to chop off your legs next time this happens-"
Jiu Li woke up, startled by the last line Zheng Hu had said. What greeted him was…a worried Zheng Hu? It was hard to believe that the person currently infront of him was the same person in his dream. (I know right)
"How are you feeling?"
Zheng Hu suddenly asked.Yeah no, there's no way this person is going to ever do that. Little did Jiu Li know that what he just saw was a glimpse into the future.
