Chapter 5 - Chapter 5: Protection

Although Jin Xiaofeng stopped, the atmosphere suddenly became even more tense. I noticed that Zhao Lili was clenching her small fists, seemingly suppressing something, and Zhang Ya, her best friend standing beside her, was looking at Jin Xiaofeng with a complicated expression.

I had a strong feeling that something was off about these few people!

At this moment, Ye Jin quietly stood up and was about to sneak away when Jin Xiaofeng kicked him down.

"Even if this bitch took the initiative, didn't you know how to refuse? I'm not done with you, you son of a bitch!"

After pointing at Ye Jin and scolding him, Jin Xiaofeng glared at Zhao Lili. Finally, Zhao Lili couldn't hold it in anymore and shouted at Jin Xiaofeng,

"Enough! Jin Xiaofeng! What right do you have to call me a bitch? Do you think I don't know about the conversations between you and Zhang Ya on WeChat?"

"You two were calling each other 'husband' and 'wife' so affectionately, and you even deliberately sent me away. Hehe, is that really necessary? Isn't it just that you, Jin Xiaofeng, like the feeling of cheating?"

My goodness! Hearing Zhao Lili's words, I was simply astonished. After all, we were just in senior high school.

The classmates around me were just as surprised as I was and started whispering among themselves.

Jin Xiaofeng was a bit taken aback by Zhao Lili's words and then his expression turned angry. For these rich young masters, face was more important than anything else. Zhao Lili exposing him was undoubtedly making him lose face in public.

Zhao Lili didn't seem to care anymore now that she had spilled the beans. On the contrary, Zhang Ya standing aside was extremely embarrassed.

Most of the classmates in the class weren't talking about Jin Xiaofeng. Instead, they were mostly talking about Zhang Ya because, in their eyes, Zhang Ya was like a mistress in the adult world.

"Zhang Ya is really despicable. She's always been so promiscuous. I didn't expect her to secretly hit on Brother Feng. Hehe."

"This Zhang Ya is probably destined to be kept by someone in the future. Sigh..."

Everyone was chatting away, and some gossiping people deliberately raised their voices so that Zhang Ya could hear them.

Zhang Ya's face turned red all the way to the base of her neck. I noticed that she secretly looked up at Jin Xiaofeng, but Jin Xiaofeng turned his head away and didn't want to pay attention to her at all.

Although we were all in the same class, having such a scandal exposed would make anyone feel uncomfortable, especially for a girl.

I thought this matter would just blow over, but it seemed that Zhang Ya really didn't want to take the blame alone. She bit her lip and stood up.

"I admit what happened between me and Xiaofeng. But, Zhao Lili? Are you brave enough to admit what you've done?"

Zhao Lili never expected that Zhang Ya would suddenly bring up something about her at this moment. After all, they were best friends.

"Zhang Ya?" Zhao Lili obviously knew what Zhang Ya was talking about and called out with a frown.

Zhang Ya gave a cold smile and raised her voice, saying,

"Last time we went to the pedestrian street, a handsome college student chatted you up. Have you forgotten about that?"

After being exposed by Zhang Ya, Zhao Lili shook her head with a pained expression and didn't seem to want to explain.

Everyone was shocked by these two girls again. Even Jin Xiaofeng seemed to have never heard of this incident and kept looking at Zhao Lili and shaking his head.

After the two girls finished speaking, they both fell silent. It's true that the hearts of women can be extremely vicious. It's terrifying.

Just then, the class bell rang.

I finally came to my senses. The stories of these three classmates were really explosive. It was hard for me to imagine that this was happening in a Grade 11 class, especially between two girls.

I knew that their relationship would never be mended. Everyone gradually returned to their seats, except for Jin Xiaofeng, who wouldn't listen to anyone's persuasion.

When the teacher came in and saw Jin Xiaofeng standing in front of the desk, the teacher asked him,

"What's wrong with you? Go back to your seat quickly. It's time to start the class!"

Jin Xiaofeng suddenly let out a yell while clenching his fists and then rushed out of the classroom.

I was startled, thinking that he was going to jump off the building like He Peng did, so I quickly went out and followed him. Fortunately, he just ran downstairs.

Although I was scolded by the teacher when I came back, I still felt relieved.

At this moment, the WeChat group that had been quiet for so long finally became active again.

The Little Devil still sent a smiling emoji and then said,

"A new round of the game starts. Everyone, continue to grab the red envelopes. The lucky person this time can replace me to issue the game. Any game is allowed!"

After saying that, he quickly sent a red envelope worth 500 yuan.

"This game seems to be without danger. Anyway, no matter who grabs it, it's one of us."

"Yeah, this Little Devil is finally being reasonable..."

"As long as the lucky person plays a simple game, everyone will be safe."

After reading the Little Devil's words, I also thought it was good. It seemed that the previous gloom could finally be lifted. However, I never expected that this game was the real beginning in the true sense!

"I grabbed more than 50 yuan this time. It's a pity that I'm not the lucky person."

"Damn it, I only grabbed more than 10 yuan..."

"Who is the lucky person?"

I suddenly discovered a pattern. It seemed that the classmates who had already been the lucky person wouldn't be the lucky one again. I didn't know if it was because there were so many people in our class.

Everyone was curious about who the lucky person was and were chatting about it.

After a few minutes, someone shouted in the group,

"The lucky person is Jin Xiaofeng!"

Jin Xiaofeng! Did he also participate in grabbing the red envelope this time? I thought that after being so shocked, he wouldn't grab the red envelope anymore. Unexpectedly, after running out of the classroom, he still secretly participated and was quite lucky.

However, I always felt that something was wrong. Why did I feel a bit nervous when he became the lucky person?

I looked up at Ye Jin sitting in his seat. Seeing him trembling all over, I instantly understood!

If Jin Xiaofeng was the lucky person, he could specify the game for others. But if he wanted to take revenge on someone, he could naturally assign some excessive games to them. Obviously, Ye Jin had thought of this.

The Little Devil sent a smiling emoji, as if everything was under his control, and then said,

"Please let the lucky person specify the game."

Jin Xiaofeng quickly replied with a few words,

"I want Ye Jin to die! I want him to die! I want him to die today!"

Oh no! I quickly typed and said,

"Jin Xiaofeng, calm down. This isn't a good idea. We're all classmates."

Jin Xiaofeng didn't reply to me. Instead, Zhao Lili also started sending a message,

"Xiaofeng, I know I was wrong about this. Take back your words. Xiang Nan is right. We're all classmates. Let's stop making trouble."

Except for a few people, most of the classmates in the class were quite united and were all persuading Jin Xiaofeng in the group to take back his order.

But Jin Xiaofeng never said a word.

After everyone fell silent, the Little Devil typed a line of words,

"In this game, Ye Jin is going to die. The time limit is eight hours."

"Going to die?"

"Is it so straightforward? Is this game just about Ye Jin playing a game of 'death'?"

"..."

I was really speechless. Originally, everyone could have been safe this time, but Jin Xiaofeng had caused another mess.

Ye Jin sat in his seat with his head lowered, feeling extremely uneasy. I knew that, in fact, he was the most innocent one.

I looked at the time. Eight hours later, it would be 12 o'clock at midnight. As long as we could make it past 12 o'clock at midnight, then the time limit would expire, which would prove that the Little Devil's game could be cracked.

I thought we couldn't just sit around and wait for disaster to strike. We had to take the initiative to find a way to save Ye Jin.

After class, I summoned up my courage and ran to the podium, asking everyone to be quiet. Then I said seriously,

"Dear classmates, too many things have happened in our class because of the Little Devil's game. Just like I said before, I don't want to lose any more classmates. So we must unite and not just sit around and do nothing. We need to take the initiative to find a way to crack this game."

"Since the game requires Ye Jin to die within eight hours, then we should take the initiative and do our best to protect Ye Jin. As long as eight hours pass and Ye Jin is still alive, it will prove that the Little Devil's game can be cracked!"

"I will protect Ye Jin throughout the whole process from now on. I hope everyone can help!"

I thought that after my speech, there would be enthusiastic applause. Unexpectedly, everyone looked at me numbly, and no one responded to me. Except for Ye Jin, who looked at me gratefully, the others seemed not interested in my words at all.

Of course, Su Chunxiao always supported me. It's just that she was too timid to stand up and speak.

At this moment, the class monitor, Qin Yong, stood up. Qin Yong had a strong influence in the class. He usually didn't show off much. Even in this game, he hadn't said much. But this time, he took the initiative to stand up.

"I think what Xiang Nan said makes a lot of sense. Instead of being at the mercy of others, we might as well give it a fight. Think about it, this game has no end. What if it's you next time? What would you do? I will protect Ye Jin together with Xiang Nan."

After all, he was the class monitor. With his lead, everyone started to raise their hands enthusiastically.

We immediately put our plan into action. We voluntarily arranged for Ye Jin to sit in the middle of the classroom. The class monitor and several other trustworthy classmates sat around him. Then we collected all the sharp and deadly things like small knives and pens.

Even when going to the toilet, two people would follow to protect him.

As time passed by minute by minute, we didn't go to the dormitory after the evening self-study. Because there were too many things in the dormitory, we still thought it was safer to stay in the classroom. As long as we could make it past 12 o'clock, it would prove that we had succeeded.

I asked Su Chunxiao to go back to the dormitory to rest first, and I would inform her if there was anything.

In this way, more than ten students voluntarily stayed in the classroom. Ye Jin was still sitting in the center, and the others sat around him.

It was already late at night. To avoid being discovered, we turned off the lights. It was very dark around, and only some spots of light from outside the classroom shone in.

Ye Jin didn't have dinner in the afternoon, so I gave him a piece of bread. Ye Jin was so grateful that he almost cried. He looked at me with a smile and said,

"Thank you, Xiang Nan. Without you, I really don't know what to do."

"It's okay. Don't think too..."

...

Bang!

Before I could finish my sentence, the ceiling fan in the classroom suddenly fell down without warning and just hit Ye Jin on the head.

He still had the bread in his mouth, and his eyes were wide open as he lay on the desk. His head was already covered in blood and flesh.

The warm blood splashed all over my face!
