"It's that dog again!"

"Where?"

"Next to the trash can, do you see?"

"I don't see it...... Are you sure? I only saw one stone. ”

"Not the stone...... It's late, it's already gone. ”

......

"Look, look at the dog!"

"Where?!"

"Behind that bush of privet leaves...... Look, isn't that its tail?!"

"Where, where? Don't you see?"

“...... It's already gone!"

......

"Dog!"

"Where?"

“...... Ran. ”

......

When Zheng Qing pointed to a corner for the Nth time and swore to his companions that he had seen the dog, but everyone found nothing, Xiao Xiao finally couldn't help it, and pulled the robe of the young public scholarship student and motioned him to stay.

"My neck is cramping. Xiao Xiao rubbed his neck with a helpless face. Zheng Qing reminded him to speed up when he turned his head, but no matter how fast he was, he couldn't get as fast as the dog disappeared.

"It's going to be a little faster!" Zheng Qing couldn't help it: "Or, do you have any suitable detection magic to be able to scout the surrounding environment anytime and anywhere?"

"That's a waste of mana, very, very much. Dr. Siu first rejected the proposal of the young government-funded student, and then reminded him instead of politely: "I don't know if you have ever heard a story called 'The Wolf is Coming'...... The story tells of a shepherd boy who was very bored and came up with a way to trick everyone into having fun......"

"You think I'm playing tricks on you?" Zheng Qing interrupted the doctor's 'story' in annoyance.

"It doesn't matter how I feel. Xiao Xiao calmed the annoyance of the public scholarship students, paused, skipped the well-known storyline, and jumped directly to the end of the story:

"It's the end of the story that matters...... Because the shepherd boy deceived the farmer one after another, when he actually encountered the wolves for the last time and asked for help, the farmer thought he was lying again, and everyone ignored him, and no one helped him...... Then the shepherd boy was bitten to death by the wolves. ”

"The shepherd boy was not bitten to death, it was his sheep that were bitten to death. Zheng Qing corrected with a gloomy expression.

"That's not the point. Xiao Xiao didn't entangle with Zheng Qing, whether the sheep was eaten by the wolf, or the shepherd boy was eaten by the wolf: "The point is that you can't just talk about a little thing...... This will consume everyone's positive *** cost everyone's trust in you. ”

"That's not a small thing. Zheng Qing was sullen.

But he also knew that what the Doctor said was right. Although in his opinion, what he did was fundamentally different from that of the shepherd boy, he was telling the truth, and the shepherd boy was telling lies. But to others, the difference may not be that great. Because his words cannot be confirmed, and he constantly wastes everyone's energy.

"If you really feel uneasy, you can go to Lao Yao and report the situation to him. Xiao Xiao gave a suggestion that he thought was very appropriate: "After the Charms class in the morning, he said that he would be in the office all day today...... If you go, you'll find him. After all, he is our dean and our counselor, and this is his job. ”

"Huh. ”

Zheng Qing laughed dryly.

He would rather turn into a cat and beckon his cats to catch a dog than go to Lao Yao's office.

"Have you been hiding from Lao Yao a little lately? Did you smash the flower pot in his office, or did you soak his tobacco in water?" Xiao Xiao lifted his glasses and glanced at the young public scholarship student.

"You're talking about Li Meng, not me. Zheng Qing complained about Dr. Wang's whimsical thoughts: "Am I so unreliable?"

"Judging from today's incident with this dog, it is particularly unreliable. ”

Zheng Qing couldn't refute this.

"I didn't hide from Lao Yao. ”

"But you were in Charms class this morning, and you barely raised your hand for the entire class...... It's not like your usual style. ”

"I just...... It's just that because the end of the semester is approaching and it takes a little time to review. Zheng Qing replied vaguely, in fact, he also felt that his reaction was a bit exaggerated, but instinct - perhaps the seed of the forbidden spell - reminded him deep down to be cautious: "I just need a little time. ”

He swore that the last sentence was sincere.

It is not difficult for Xiao Xiao to judge this.

"Okay...... But I need to remind you that there's not a lot of 'little time' left until your final exams...... Banner took a seat for us in the library, what time are you over?Are you still reviewing Potions today?" Xiao Xiao skipped the previous topic and asked Zheng Qing about his review plan for today.

"I was going to brush up on Potions. Speaking of this, Zheng Qing touched the gray cloth pocket on his waist and sighed: "But in the afternoon, I suddenly received a paper crane from the school laboratory...... You may have to go and work for a while. You can take the seat for me first. ”

Xiao Xiao stopped and looked at Zheng Qing with a scrutinizing gaze:

"From the time I finished my meal at noon, to the afternoon rune class, and until now, you have been following me trying to make me see that invisible dog...... When will you receive the crane?"

Zheng Qing was a little caught off guard.

He just casually made an excuse, but unexpectedly he was caught by the doctor.

Soon, he found a reason to justify: "You can't even see a dog, can you see that I received a paper crane?" There is a reason to say that you are blind......

"Where's the crane?"

"Thrown. ”

"Where?"

“...... I was a little hungry and threw myself into my stomach. ”

"Huh. Xiao Xiao sneered.

Zheng Qing explained seriously: "Don't say it, the paper crane really tastes a little meaty...... Have you eaten it before? Hmm, I seem to have heard the fat man say that Tuan Tuan has eaten paper cranes......"

Xiao Xiao was not distracted by the lame topic of public expense, he glanced at Zheng Qing warningly: "In short, you have to know what you are doing......

"What do you think I want to do?" Zheng Qing was a little puzzled - his plan had just come to mind a few minutes ago, so he had that terrible excuse from before. He didn't think the Doctor could have guessed.

"There are still ten days before the final exam," Dr. Xiao raised his voice slightly, and overpowered Zheng Qing from the momentum: "You still have the school's probation on your back...... If I were you, anything outside of the exam would be pressed a little bit and dealt with after the exam period......"

"Except for the dog. Zheng Qing's expression was like taking a bite of, his gaze crossed Xiao Xiao's shoulder, and his voice stopped.

Xiao Xiao noticed his gaze.

"You see it again?"

"You can't see it anyway. The young student sighed deeply and repeated his previous words: "...... Anything else could really be dragged backwards, except for the dog. It has debilitated my tormented nervous breakdown. It has to be dealt with. Otherwise, I won't be able to eat, sleep, or review my homework. ”
