Chapter 30: The Soul Contract (6)

When I rushed back to the experimental building, the students of the three classes in the large laboratory were in a disorderly pile, and they were busy conducting experimental operations. No one noticed that one of me was missing, so I snuck in the door and pretended to fiddle with a measuring cup in the corner. The chemistry teacher stood at the front of the lab, his body twisting to the left and looking to the right, muttering muttered about precautions. Ha ha! It's okay, I made it!

"There are five minutes left to end class, please clean up." The chemistry teacher looked at his watch and picked up the roll call, "Class 1 restores the console, and Class 2 completes the experiment record." The boys in class 6 write the experiment report, the girls take your test tubes, I report a name, and come up and pour the solution into the vat next to me! ”

What the? Test tubes, solutions? My heart jumped suddenly, there was no test tube on the operating table in the corner, what should I take up to it? I thought it was just a roll call, and I could still mix in the three classes, but now Class 1 is all cleaning up, Class 2 is burying his head in writing records, the boys in our class are retreating with the experiment report, and Chang Qing and Qi Zhen are anxiously squeezing their eyebrows at me in the team, not knowing what to say. The teacher read the names according to the roster, and the other girls took the test tubes containing the pink solution and walked up one after another.

Oops! How do I explain this to the teacher? I'm starting to break out in a cold sweat on my back again! "Give!" Someone quietly stabbed me from the side. When I turned my head, it was Jane! Before I could open my mouth, a test tube containing the solution quickly slipped into my hand. She lowered her head casually and continued to clean up the operating table next to her, I was a little surprised, and a little stunned, it seemed that I had returned to the beginning of the years, she had always been my classmate and good friend. In the past, there have been countless times when we have asked questions in class or forgotten to finish our homework, and we have all helped each other and taken it for granted. However, since the incident at Xu Lan's house, we are no longer as close as before, and even, one of her contemplative eyes will make me suspicious for a long time; An insignificant smile on the corner of my mouth will also make my heart tremble! What is it that separates us? I never got an answer.

"What's the daze? The teacher called you! "Someone gently pushed me, it was Ge Hong. Seeing that she had a worried look on her face, I quickly smiled at her and walked to the teacher with the test tube in my hand.

The teacher watched me pour the solution into the vat and ticked it off the roll call. I breathed a long sigh of relief, and as soon as I turned around, I heard the teacher say lightly: "Well, don't go to station 44 for experiments in the future, there are no test tubes there!" I froze, a wry smile on my face, it turned out that the teacher was not as confused as I thought!

The bell is ringing, class is over!

I thought that today's bad luck was over, but who knows, it's just begun!

At the end of the fourth period, we scrambled to the cafeteria. I absentmindedly lowered my head and lined up behind the long line, Xiao Zhen and Yun Tengjiao, flashing in front of my eyes alternately, two friends that I had never been able to see through, haunting me. Should I trust friendship, or should I trust my instincts?

Someone patted me on the head: "Little sister, wake up!" ”

I came back to my senses and sneered: "Who is your little sister?" After speaking, I looked up and saw that there was more than one person in front of me. Two boys and a girl stood on either side of me and looked at me, sixteen or seventeen years old, with beautiful faces, but the boys' faces were full of worry and sorrow, and the girls' eyes were red and full of sadness.

"What are you telling me to do?" My tone softened unconsciously. I can't stand the fact that someone looks at me with such miserable eyes.

"Little ...... It was you who found it in the woods yesterday...... Theirs? "The boy who spoke had long eyebrows and was very gentle.

Woods? Alas, it's probably the classmates of those two!

"Well, I also found it by accident." I nodded helplessly.

"They...... They died...... Died bizarrely, didn't it? At the mention of the word "death", the other boy's voice was slightly choked.

Bizarre, of course! Accurately, it should be described as weird! However, I can't say anything more, otherwise it will cause panic among the teachers, students and parents of the whole school, which will not only not help, but may also get worse and worse! I thought to myself.

"You, can you ...... Tell us a little bit more about ...... Their situation? Seeing that I was silent, the girl pleaded.

"They're gone! Don't ask any more questions, in vain it will make everyone sad. I politely declined.

"But, they, they're our good friends!" Sven's boy's eyes also began to turn red. The girl was already covering her mouth and sobbing quietly.

"If life is gone, everything is meaningless to the dead! Including the love and friendship that the world celebrates! ”

"How can you talk like that?" The three of them seemed to have been trampled on and yelled at me together, no, it was a roar!

Sky! Which nosy guy is showing off his literary prowess? Except for the three angry faces, all the students in the neighborhood were alarmed, and everyone's eyes were focused on me. "I didn't say that!" I showed my innocence with the most obvious gesture as I looked around trying to find out who had just spoken.

"What? Am I not right? "A tall figure parted from the crowd and came to me, looking at me calmly. It's that Yun Tengjiao again! I sighed inwardly.

"Who are you? Why do you say such cool words? The two boys questioned him.

"It's the truth! Instead of reminiscing, it is better to be kind to them in life, isn't the true meaning of friendship like this? He smiled, his eyes warm but still looking at me.

I admit that his smile is beautiful, the kind of smile that is as passionate as fire and can stun countless girls. But you're talking to someone else, so you don't have to smile at me, do you? The eyes of the students are bright, so it is easy to have unnecessary misunderstandings! Sure enough, countless searchlight-like sharp eyes swept me up and down, back and forth. The corners of my mouth began to twitch, and my heart began to cry out again and again.

"Why do you say we don't understand friendship?" The Sven-looking boy blushed.

"If you really understand, you shouldn't have hurt them with the news of chasing after them before they died!" Yun Tengjiao's tone was very indifferent, but what he said was very shocking, "Aren't you the ones who reported their early love in front of the teaching director?" ”

"You talk nonsense! …… I, I didn't! Huo Di, the girl who hid her face and cried lowly, looked up, her face was a little distorted and deformed, and her tone of eager denial sounded very ...... Guilty. And the faces of the two boys also turned iron blue in an instant, and the eyes that looked at Yun Tengjiao revealed a look mixed with horror and fear.

Although these expressions and voices were fleeting, I was keenly aware of the hidden emotions on the side. No wonder, Vice Principal Ding and Dean of Education actually quarreled in public at the school morning meeting a few days ago. The director of education looked indignant, and words such as "failing to fulfill his educational responsibility", "shielding his son", and "must be severely punished" popped up one after another, while Vice Principal Ding looked like thunder. It turned out that someone had secretly accused Ding Zhongheng and Ye Xiaoyun of their early love! Dare to be affectionate, these three people holding the sign "I am their good friend" are the villains who tell the school behind them.

Some people may wonder if this is a big deal. On campus now, not to mention falling in love, it is not uncommon to live together, get pregnant out of wedlock, and be homosexual. However, this was on the middle school campus twenty years ago, and at that time, if there was a relationship in the school, even if it was just a tendency or a sign, it would be a major event that shocked the teachers and school leaders! At that time, boys and girls were distinct, each had their own friends, and they didn't play together. It's rare to have a familiar old classmate or old neighbor, and a group of people play together. Alone, that's very rare. Ding Zhongheng and Ye Xiaoyun are among the few examples. In fact, the two of them are still young, at most they can talk to each other and have a good feeling, and they are not in love at all. However, being exposed by his good friends, it is estimated that the school leaders firmly believe that they are in early love.

"Whether it's true or not, you know better than I do! …… But now that man is dead, live your life in peace. …… They're not going to come back to confront you again, are they? Yun Tengjiao said deliberately casually, a mysterious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

That's amazing! I saw that the three men immediately turned earthy, and even their bodies trembled a little. Oh, I see! These three people probably heard the rumor that "Ding Zhongheng and Ye Xiaoyun died very bizarrely", they did something sorry for their friends, they had ghosts in their hearts, and they were afraid of retribution, so they did everything possible to inquire about the situation that day.

"We ...... We didn't do anything wrong, how can we ...... How can you be afraid of your nonsense? …… Let's go! After a while, the boy who looked like Sven forced these two sentences out of his throat, which was regarded as finding a step for himself, and then the three of them staggered out, and they didn't even dare to turn their heads back.

"Hmph, what kind of friend is this?" There was disdain evident in the crisp voice. Ge Hong and Xu Shan walked up to me with a lunch box.

"Such a 'friend'...... The less the better! I was filled with emotion, "It's better never to meet it!" ”

"Of course not! …… With a loyal and good friend like me by your side, how can you make friends with such a low character...... Man? Yun Tengjiao's ambiguous tone made my heart tremble, except for Qi Zhen, I have never seen anyone more exaggerated than him. Perhaps, not an exaggeration, because at this moment the elusive, cold light flashed under his eyes again.

"Who are you?" Ge Hong raised her eyebrows and asked strangely. Many pairs of eyes stared at us like eagle dogs that had discovered their prey, and the "rays" of inquiry into the truth passed between me and Yun Tengjiao.

"I'm a good friend of hers!" As if trying to prove it, he reached over and put his arm around my shoulder affectionately, as if he were putting his arms around me. I tried to break free of his grasp, but to no avail. My scalp was about to explode, and if this scene was seen by the teachers, or if someone went to report it to the school leaders, oh my God! In front of everyone's eyes, it is very difficult to deny!

"Hey, don't go too far! Even if it's a good friend, you don't have to ...... So be it! A familiar, boyish voice rang out clearly and powerfully. It's Jane! She was walking towards us, and in the spirit of fighting for me, she was menacing, and she had the intention of flying up and kicking the clouds.

"yes, let go!" Ge Hong saw that my face was pale, and he couldn't help but step forward to help, and during the entanglement, Xu Shan saw that he couldn't be defeated for a while, so he threatened next to him: "If you don't let go, I'll ...... We're going to tell the teacher! ”

Alack! Don't tell the teacher! I almost screamed. Although he is enthusiastic on the surface, he is refreshed and vague in his bones, which actually gives me the feeling that he is watching a joke. This scene seems to be deliberately caused by him, and the purpose is not clear for a while, but my intuition tells me that it is not good for me to make a big fuss.

"Stop making trouble!" I raised my voice and let out a decisive shout.

While everyone was stunned, I tried my best to mobilize all the muscles on my face and unfolded the sweetest smile: "Okay, that's the joke, cousin, brother!" "The last two words I deliberately said to Yun Tengjiao word by word, which can increase the effect.

"Cousin?!"

"Who's your cousin?"

Not only Ge Hong and Xu Shan were taken aback, but even Xiao Zhen's eyes widened in disbelief. Yun Tengjiao's expression remained unchanged, but a few interested smiles flashed in his eyes, as if he felt that things were developing to his liking. I secretly gritted my teeth and scolded him for a bloody, but I still had to keep a smile on my face and explain, "He's my cousin!" Just kidding you guys! ”

Everyone focused their half-believing eyes on him, and I looked at him with a smile, secretly making up my mind that even if he didn't admit it, I would bite it! As for some people, if they don't believe in investigating again, then let's talk about it later, and look at the present!

"Well, why did you say it so quickly?" Yun Tengjiao showed a brotherly smile and rubbed my hair dotingly, "How boring is this, how can it be called 'ups and downs'?" Cousin! Probably in order to match my tone, he deliberately lengthened the tone of the last two words, which seemed unusually intimate.

My smile finally broke down, and now the look on my face ...... Even if you ask eighteen artists to paint, you can't paint it! I can't wait to look up to the sky and scream: Oh my God! How can there be a person who makes people feel cold and tingled with just three words! Ahem, cousin! He screamed so naturally and affectionately, and judging by his expression, even I thought I was really his cousin! Forget it, who asked me to call him cousin first?

A good show ended in a hurry, and the passers-by in the cafeteria, A, B, C, D, all shook their unfinished faces and dispersed regretfully, those who ate continued to eat, and those who lined up continued to line up. "I'll help you cook, okay?" Seeing that the demon's claws were reaching for my hair again, I hurriedly flashed behind Ge Hong and Xu Shan, and smiled bitterly: "Don't do it, I'm ...... I'm going to find someone. They'll help me with the food. Then, he couldn't help but stuff the lunch box into Ge Hong's hand and hurriedly escaped from the cafeteria.

As soon as I got out of the cafeteria, I was grabbed by Xiao Zhen, who came later. "Squad leader, what's going on? Where did you come from to get such a cousin? She asked with a strange look.

"Well...... This one...... The ...... "I didn't think about how to answer."

"Hey, why haven't you gone to dinner yet?" Three people walked quickly in the distance, it was Qi Zhen and Chang Qing, and the cold voice came from Chen Qiu's mouth.

"She's coming!" As soon as Xiao Zhen heard Chen Qiu's voice, her face changed slightly, and she left a sentence, "Squad leader, I'll look for you when I have time!" "Go straight back to the cafeteria.

"Hmph, run away when you see me, you can see that your heart is very empty!" Chen Qiu vaguely saw Xiao Zhen's back, and when he approached me, he sneered and said.

"Where have you been? Coming so late? "As soon as I think about what I just experienced, I get angry. If the three of them were here, they would at least be able to block it for me, so I wouldn't be so embarrassed.

"What? Are you poking the basket again? Chang Qing and Qi Zhen asked in surprise.

"What a poke basket, I was ...... People are bullying! "I'm even angrier.

"Tell me about it." Chen Qiu patted my hand soothingly.

I briefly recounted what happened just now, and when I said that the three friends of Ding Zhongheng and Ye Xiaoyun turned out to be the ones who revealed their early love to the teaching director, Qi Zhen's eyes suddenly flashed a few cold lights, which made my heart chuckle. Later, when I said that I had no choice but to call Cousin Yun Tengjiao, Chang Qing and Chen Qiu couldn't help but laugh.

Qi Zhen shook his head and sighed, "It's a clumsy trick now!" Cousin! You can figure it out! ”

"You suddenly came out with a cousin, and other classmates didn't suspect it?" Chang Qing couldn't help but smile and asked, "You're not afraid of others asking you, what kind of cousin is this?" ”

“…… He was my father's uncle's aunt's cousin's nephew's cousin's nephew's cousin's ...... Son! I finished my sentence triumphantly in one breath. Hmph, who's afraid of whom?

There was a sudden silence all around.

Chang Qing, Qi Zhen, and Chen Qiu all stood there and stared at me stupidly, their expressions glazed, as if they had been struck by lightning.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" I quickly touched my face and hair, there was nothing abnormal!

“…… That's fine! You're about to bypass half of Suzhou City! Qi Zhen smiled bitterly, "According to your calculations, then Chang Qing and I can also become your cousin!" ”

"What's that? Isn't there a saying that a watch is three thousand miles! I cheekily rolled my eyes at Qi Zhen, despise his ignorance in my heart.

Another silence!

"Haha......" The three of them seemed to finally can't hold back anymore and laughed together.

"Hey, hey, what are you laughing at? …… What's so funny? …… Laugh again, laugh again I want to ...... Turned the other cheek! I blushed from their laughter and quickly glared at me and threatened.
