Zheng Qing stood in the quiet corridor and licked his dry lips.

Most of the students in Astronomy 08-1 had already followed Professor Yao into the new classroom. Originally, he and several other companions were a few steps slower to discuss the interview of the HKCSS after class, but they were unexpectedly left behind by a few unrighteous guys.

Of course, he could have caught up with the figures who were drifting away.

But that wasn't his intention.

Zheng Qing's fingers involuntarily touched the gray cloth bag in his arms. In the bag, there was a bohemian dress that had been 'stored' for a long time and had not been handed over to her owner.

Is now the right time?

The young scholar had this thought in his mind, and then immediately dismissed it.

No one goes to give gifts for the sake of giving them, and he naturally didn't wait so long for a dress.

It's class time now.

There was no one in the empty hallway. The portraits of the sages hanging on both sides of the corridor wall dozed off in the dim light, and the cold wind through the hall flowed silently down the smooth floor. In the distance, in front of the windowsill, you can faintly see several ghosts who once jumped off the building to their deaths huddled in a row, basking in the sunshine with silver glistening intestines.

Scent of a girl。

Zheng Qing's mind suddenly slipped through this beautiful word, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath.

The sweet smell that filled his nostrils gave him great courage.

"Hey!" he pulled out a big smile, turned quickly, looked at the gypsy witch in front of him, and tried to say in a very surprised tone, "What a coincidence...... I thought you'd already be in the classroom. ”

Perhaps his efforts were excessive, and his voice was unusually loud in the empty hallway.

Even the sun-basking ghosts on the windowsill in the distance couldn't help but glance back.

This made the young public scholarship student run through a herd of alpacas quickly.

However, the gypsy witch on the opposite side did not notice the slightly exaggerated voice of the boy. She wore a wide red shawl and held several thick reference books in her arms, as if she had just come to her senses.

"It's no coincidence. Elena brushed the long hair in her ears behind her ears, revealing her fair neck, flashing her big eyes, looking at the public scholarship student in front of her, and said very seriously: "I'm waiting for you." ”

Perhaps because of exhaustion, her voice, though still beautiful, was a little hoarse. His face was much paler than before. I don't know if it's because I've put on too much foundation, or because I haven't seen the sun for a long time. She wears a heavy layer of eyeshadow around her eyes, giving it a very depressed, very decadent feel.

This made Zheng Qing feel a strong desire to protect in the depths of his heart for a moment.

So much so that he wasn't even secretly complacent about the witch's answer just now.

"What's wrong?" he took a step forward, closing the distance between the two of them, and asked eagerly, "I noticed that you haven't been coming to class on time lately...... Is it the witches? Is there anything I can do to help you?"

His attitude was sincere.

This gave the witch's eyes a little more brilliance.

"I haven't had time to congratulate you on your Merlin honor. Yelena avoided Zheng Qing's question, smiled, and said in a brisk tone, "Maybe we can pick a time to have a light meal...... I ask yours as compensation. ”

The topic changed too quickly and changed too much, which made Zheng Qing feel caught off guard.

A second before he was worried about what trouble Elena had and if he could help, and a second later the gypsy witch invited him to dinner with a smile on her face.

She invites you to dinner?!

Is this a date?

Where is it located, and do I need to buy a dress?

Oh, and that skirt, that skirt can finally be given out!

Zheng Qing's mind was immediately filled with pictures of the two of them sitting in the small box: colorful lamps and insects hanging among the vines flashing and flashing, mischievous elves carrying flower baskets and scattering petals on their heads, flower essences playing the guqin to accompany them, and then various pink pictures.

As Mr. Lu Xun said, the car can't be stopped at all.

"Date?" Zheng Qing involuntarily said the word that came to his mind, and then he hit a spirit, immediately woke up, and made up for it with a flushed face: "I mean, where do you need a treat...... As is customary, I should have been treated. ”

Elena seemed to enjoy his embarrassed expression, and stood by with a smile on her face.

"You just said you were waiting for me, is there anything wrong?" After struggling for a long time, Zheng Qing finally grabbed a rope and saved himself from the suffocating environment.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and his face quickly returned to normal.

Then he noticed the tool book that the witch was holding in her arms.

"Principles of Rune Construction", "Encyclopedia of Runes", "Etymology", "New Meaning of Ancient Texts" and so on.

Almost all of them are research books in the field of advanced symbolism.

"Is it a matter of Fu Zhengxue?" the young public-funded student was the first to ask this question.

Elena was stunned, and the smile on her face slowly retracted.

"Isn't it?" Zheng Qing noticed her face, looked a little depressed, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I thought ......"

"You don't need to apologize. Elena said softly, "You're not wrong...... When I look for you, I do have a question about symbolism that needs to be answered. ”

As she spoke, she didn't wait for the young student to speak, and took out a notebook from Kun's bag.

The notebook was a bit old, and the black cover was covered with greasy marks, making it look like the blood of some kind of creature.

Yelena flipped quickly, but Zheng Qing still noticed the profound rune images flashing between the pages. Most of the runes seemed to have been patiently parsed, with dense notes annotated on the side.

The witch flipped the note almost to the last few pages.

Then she pointed to a blank page, a rough pencil outline, and asked eagerly, "What do you recognize this symbol...... Or what is its original form?"

Zheng Qing stretched out his hand and wanted to get closer, but unexpectedly, Yelena quickly retracted the notebook as if she had been shocked.

Zheng Qing's outstretched hand froze in midair.

Elena also had an embarrassed expression on her face.

But Zheng Qing quickly reacted, opened his notebook, and used a brush to outline the traces of the talisman.

"This talisman looks very complicated...... I didn't have an idea for a while. The young student said in an apologetic tone, "If you don't mind, I'll give you an answer later, is it okay?"

"Trouble," Elena tried to thank in a brisk tone.

Obviously, this behavior does not ease the awkward atmosphere between the two.

But no matter what, Zheng Qing must show the wisdom that a boy should have: "This is my honor!"

Around the corner of the hallway, several students of the same class appeared, looking curiously at the young wizard and witch, biting each other's ears and whispering something.

Elena quickly put away her notebook, walked over the young wizard, and whispered:

"The thing about eating...... I'll come back to you after class. ”
