Si Xiaonan patted her chest and walked to Hong Ying's side, her expression still shaken.
"They look so terrifying."
"True." Hong Ying nodded. "But their strength doesn't seem too impressive."
Saying this, she stomped her feet hard against the ground, and her figure shot forward like an arrow released from a bow. The tip of her spear ignited with a rose-colored flame, leaving a trail of flame in the air!
"Ssssss—!"
The few monsters in the corridor saw Hong Ying charging toward them, their monstrous heads opening wide again, revealing grotesque and terrifying jaws, ready to swallow her whole!
Hong Ying's eyes narrowed slightly. Without a moment's hesitation, she charged straight into the monstrous mouth!
Howl!
Just as the monster's massive mouth was about to engulf Hong Ying, a streak of crimson light shot out from the spear's tip. The rose-colored flames lit up the entire dark corridor for an instant!
The next moment, a giant fireball ignited!
The spear tip effortlessly sliced through the monster's body, and the flickering flames consumed the shattered flesh in an instant.
Hong Ying stood firm, casually slinging the spear over her shoulder. The flames at the spear tip were still dancing, and she chuckled softly.
Looking at the few dumbfounded monsters, she provocatively wiggled her fingers.
"You guys alone aren't even worth my time."
Si Xiaonan cheered from the side, clapping her hands excitedly. "Hong Ying, you're so cool!"
The monsters hissed and glared fiercely at Hong Ying, and the next moment, more and more figures began to appear at the sides of the corridor...
Some were wearing school uniforms, others in casual clothes, some holding water basins, others holding books...
Their black hair hung down, and their eyes were fixed on Hong Ying at the center. They just stared at her silently.
Drip, drip...
The sound of water droplets falling from the restroom echoed from afar. A faint rustling came from the ceiling above. Outside, distant chatter from students faintly drifted in.The entire corridor fell into a deathly silence!
More and more girls gathered on either side of the corridor, standing in perfect unison like a silent army.This scene was enough to make one's scalp tingle!
Si Xiaonan silently moved behind Hong Ying, drawing a short sword from the black box in her hand and gripping it tightly.
"Sixteen, seventeen, eighteen." Hong Ying counted the numbers softly to herself, muttering, "Eighteen of them. This is a bit of a problem... But, just a little."
...
"In the last class, you said you wanted AD calcium, so when I passed by the store just now, I picked up a bottle for you."
In the classroom, Liu Yuan handed a bottle of AD calcium milk to Han Ruoruo, his cheeks a little red.
Han Ruoruo turned around and smiled sweetly at Liu Yuan as she took the bottle."Thank you, Liu Yuan. You're so kind to me."
When Liu Yuan saw Han Ruoruo's smile, he felt as if he were floating, and he immediately patted his chest in assurance.
"Don't worry, Ruoruo. Whatever you want, just tell me, and I'll get it for you!"
"Okay." Han Ruoruo nodded, hesitated for a moment, then leaned toward Liu Yuan's ear and said in a soft, sweet voice, "Liu Yuan... um... after school, can you wait for me in the garage?"
"Ah?!" Liu Yuan's heart skipped a beat and began pounding rapidly.
"I... I have something to tell you..."
Han Ruoruo's face flushed with a seductive look as she gave him a fleeting glance. Everything was unspoken. Liu Yuan, excited, nodded eagerly!
"Okay! I'll wait for you in the garage after school!"
At that moment, Han Ruoruo froze as if sensing something. She suddenly stood up.
"What's wrong, Ruoruo? Where are you going?" Liu Yuan asked in confusion.
"I just remembered something I forgot. I need to go back to the dorm." Han Ruoruo's face no longer held any softness. Coldly, she said, "I'll be back soon," and walked briskly toward the door.
At that moment, a boy walked up to her desk and blocked her way.
"Lin Qiye?" Liu Yuan frowned when he saw who it was.
Han Ruoruo's irritation flashed momentarily but quickly disappeared, replaced by a sweet and innocent smile.
"Lin Qiye, is there something you need?"
Lin Qiye ignored Liu Yuan's gaze, paused for a moment, then spoke softly.
"Actually, I've liked you for a long time."
Han Ruoruo was taken aback.Liu Yuan almost spit out blood in disbelief and immediately stood up, glaring at Lin Qiye.
"Lin Qiye, don't do this. Han Ruoruo already has someone she likes! You can't keep pestering her!"
Before Liu Yuan could finish speaking, Lin Qiye shoved him back into his seat and covered his mouth.Han Ruoruo paused for a moment, as if thinking over something, and then a blush suddenly appeared on her face.
"Mm... So...?"
"Be my girlfriend," Lin Qiye said, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
Howl!!!
Lin Qiye's voice wasn't loud, but the impact of the words was enormous. The whole class heard it, and they immediately started teasing.
"Wow! I can't believe Lin Qiye likes a girl like Han Ruoruo."
"Who would've thought!"
"She's pretty, I have to admit."
"But clearly, Lin Qiye is even more handsome."
"Wow! So bold! I love it!"
"What a pity, though... look at Liu Yuan's face... so priceless!"
"I agree! Get together! Get together!"
"Get together!"
...
Amidst the chaos, Han Ruoruo lowered her head, seemingly focusing on her feet, her face completely flushed. After a moment, she responded in a tiny, almost inaudible voice, "Well... okay then."
Liu Yuan stared at her in disbelief, his mind feeling as if struck by a lightning bolt!His world... had collapsed.
Lin Qiye nodded expressionlessly. "Since it's settled, see you in the garage tonight."
"Okay..."
Lin Qiye released his hand from Liu Yuan's mouth. The latter, as if frozen, sat there staring dumbly at the blushing Han Ruoruo, completely motionless.
Lin Qiye glanced at him, then silently walked away.
On the side, Li Yifei, who had witnessed the entire scene, approached Lin Qiye and whispered, "Qiye, why did you save him? He's wronged you before..."
"I really didn't want to save him. If it were the old me, I definitely wouldn't have bothered." Lin Qiye patted his shoulder. "But now that I'm working, as a Nightwatcher, saving people is necessary.
So, I saved him, but I didn't fully save him." Li Yifei was puzzled. "What do you mean by that?"
Lin Qiye turned his head and glanced at the stunned Liu Yuan. He spoke with deep meaning:"Do you think, with his personality, he'll give up on pursuing Han Ruoruo?"
Li Yifei's eyes widened. "You mean... he won't give up?"
"From a Nightwatcher's perspective, I saved him once." Lin Qiye said calmly. "But if he insists on throwing himself to death, that's not my problem.At that point, I might even applaud from the sidelines."
