That afternoon, in the name of a return visit to the investigation of the Shadow Incident—in fact, Xiao Yao didn't think it was an excuse either—he took Yu Luying to visit those who had fallen into sleeping sickness.

For some reason, the short-haired girl refused to be interviewed, and Xiao Yao found Tao Tianyi, Lin Yu, and several other boys and talked to them.

When she came to find Tao Tianyi, Shen Jie was surprised, Xiao Yao just quietly threw her a wink.

"Let the night grow deeper and deeper,

You are sinking more and more in my heart,

I can't turn over and be my own master;

Let the lamp grow dim and dim,

You are becoming more and more true in my eyes,

I can see the dust on your face;

Let the sky grow bluer and bluer,

It's becoming more and more ordinary around me,

But some of the things that have been said,

I haven't been able to change ......."

Xiao Yao hummed an ominous song with his nose and mouth, and walked shoulder-to-shoulder with Tao Tianyi to the corridor outside the classroom door.

Tao Tianyi was uncomfortable all over his body - he meowed, I know you very well, right?

Xiao Yao pulled Tao Tianyi aside and whispered softly, while Yu Luying was on the other side of the pillar three or four meters away, holding on to the stainless steel railing and looking downstairs.

Tao Tianyi felt a little unimpressed by Xiao Yao's question, he thought that his interest in Xu Qingwei was just a temporary youth, and it was boring after the momentum passed, it was really a law of nature, and it could not be avoided, let alone that it was directly related to the so-called "sleeping disorder" that he had fallen into before.

If other beauties become his new tablemates, he will also sprout a new love.

"To put it bluntly," Tao Tianyi patted Xiao Yao's shoulder heavily: "I just slept a lot, and after a while, my brain naturally cooled down and woke up - she is not my dish." What, brother, you have a crush on her? ”

"No, no—uh, no." For a while, Xiao Yao didn't understand whether he should admit or deny it, so he had to make a few vague haha, and walked away with his arms around Yu Luying's shoulders.

Wait, after all, it's in school, is that too ......

Xiao Yao let go of Yu Luying again.

Tao Tianyi's feedback was different from the other boys, but the final result was the same.

Lin Yu and other Xu Qingwei suitors were generally confused, just as confused as Xiao Yao, and didn't understand how they could "say they don't love if they don't love".

After all, it is the fire of love that is suddenly extinguished by cold water after waking up from a sudden lethargy, and it is human nature to feel strange - it is not surprising that one or two people will associate this phenomenon with the lethargy and long dream that has just passed.

In the dreams of these classmates, they all live happily in a world where they don't know Shen Jie, everyone's hidden wishes have been realized, and they have not encountered any abnormal events, so until now, most people are still in a state of amazement, and they can't extricate themselves for a long time.

However, Xiao Yao felt a little happy.

Through the interview in the afternoon, through these people who can have a high degree of empathy with each other, Xiao Yao determined that he was not a garbage scumbag, but just fell into the trap of a witch.

When the moral pressure and self-denial pessimism are more than half gone, and the source of the problem is identified, the rest is simple – perhaps not simple, but at least the direction is clear.

Xiao Yao's visit to the victims of sleeping sickness certainly caught the attention of the school authorities — they obviously didn't want anyone to hold on to it.

Therefore, Director Lin came forward to invite Xiao Yao to the office for tea, and even threatened and appeased, and the specific process will not be repeated.

It's nothing more than that: now there is an ending where all parties will no longer pursue it, continue to investigate, and if something is found, who will be responsible?

Xiao Yao had long been aware of the urine nature of these bureaucrats, and he didn't care about it, and secretly rejoiced in his heart that he had already gotten the intelligence and information he wanted.

Today is Monday, and after school, Shen Jie is going to participate in her skateboarding club or hip-hop dance club - Xiao Yao is a little confused.

When Shen Jie participated in club activities at school before, Xiao Yao and Yu Luying stayed in the school to wait for her, and the farthest was to go to the opposite church to find Yu Bo, for fear that Shen Jie would be beheaded by Shadow again.

Now, since Zhang Zhengkai has put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha, Xiao Yao and Yu Luying can naturally be a little more relaxed in this regard.

Like most high schools in the magic capital, the sky was still bright when St. Francis Middle School was out of school, but after Xiao Yao and Yu Luying had eaten six yuan of spicy tang, the sky began to darken.

After all, the long and confused summer has passed, and it is Mr. "Long Night" who has replaced it.

There are two kinds of people who often indulge in the shelter of the night, one is lovers and the other is thieves, and the common thing is sneaky.

As mentioned earlier, Xiao Yao and Yu Luying walked out of the gate of St. Francis Middle School, did not go home, but sent a text message to their grandmother, and then went to eat six yuan Malatang together.

After eating, the two walked hand in hand to the green space around the school.

Xiao Yao could actually feel that Yu Luying was reluctant to accompany him, but he still insisted on taking him with him.

Yu Luying finally expressed obedience.

The overhead was gray, there was no moon or stars to be seen, and there was a little haze at night.

Xiao Yao's mood was not very good, and he and Yu Luying had their own concerns, but they pretended to be very happy, and they jumped and jumped when they walked.

Sandwiched between several high schools and three schools in the area, as well as two junior high schools, this green space has always been a dating mecca for young mandarin ducks. As I mentioned a long time ago, every day in the second half of the afternoon (after school) when you go around this green space, you will see people wearing red scarves, holding hands, one-on-one......

However, Xiao Yao and Yu Luying are staggered today.

When the two of them arrived at the green space, most of the little mandarin ducks had already gone back to their respective homes and looked for their own mothers.

There are no people, no wind, the lights are white and bleak, and more importantly, the coverage is not high, and there are silent and dark corners everywhere.

Xiao Yao took Yu Luying to a large dark "entrance" with ease, and as soon as he pulled the sleeves of her suit and school uniform, he led her to the large shadows.

"What are you doing?" Yu Luying protested loudly, her leg hitting the ground as if it had been rooted.

It stands to reason that the arms should not be able to twist the thighs, but unfortunately, due to the symbiosis, the strength of the two people is completely equal, and Xiao Yao can't pull her.

"I, we, have been, have passed, parted, handed." Yu Luying reminded Xiao Yao word by word.

"I, already, after, regret, gone," Xiao Yao said pretending to be frivolous and brazen, and then deliberately approached the girl's ear: "Besides, don't you like it here?" Doesn't that sound familiar? ”

Yu Luying trembled, the strength in her hand suddenly became much smaller, and she was pulled by Xiao Yao, took a few steps, and escaped into the darkness.

……

Although Xiao Yao came with a purpose, he still had some irrepressible excitement, throbbing and chicken movements, which made him feel even more sorry for Shen Jie.

Finally a night breeze blew, and the leaves rustled in the bushes and branches.

Yu Luying gasped slightly, and pushed Xiao Yao away: "Someone!" ”

"Where's anyone?" Xiao Yao pretended to be dissatisfied, but he laughed secretly in his heart.

"Inside, do you see, inside."

"Damn, isn't that just a passing cleaner, eight hundred meters away, and the enemy is in the light and I am in the dark, the ghost can see us." Xiao Yao said.

This crazy sense of déjà vu suddenly made Xiao Yao a little suspicious, did he really wake up from that long nightmare?

Could it be that you just "wake up" from the next layer of dream to this layer of dream space?

"Inside, there's someone inside, looking at us, still laughing." Yu Luying pointed in another direction.

"Oh, thank you, the Nongs, the man is on the phone." Xiao Yao tugged at his face hard.

"Don't talk nonsense...... I hurt," Yu Luying whispered, "I'm shy......"

"It's okay, no one looks at us, no one can see us," Xiao Yao squatted down and reached out to untie her small black leather shoes while comforting the girl.

"Don't, don't ......" Yu Luying's face was buried deep in the darkness, so she couldn't see how red her face was: "I, I'll ...... it myself"

"Oh."

Yu Luying continued to look around, and in a panic, she grabbed the heel of the leather shoe with her hand and took it off.

The jade feet wrapped in steaming stockings were completely exposed to the night air.

After Yu Luying's small black leather shoes were taken off, her fair feet were revealed. Her feet were small and delicate, tightly wrapped in flesh-colored tulle stockings, the color of which was very close to the color of her skin, and the delicate skin of her calves and instep could be faintly seen.

"You're wearing so thin, aren't you cold?" Xiao Yao stretched out two fingers - pinched the instep and center of her foot with the thumb and index finger of her right hand at the same time.

……

……

……

"Whew~" Xiao Yao and Yu Luying breathed a sigh at the same time.

"I thought I'd be interrupted by unscrupulous security again." Xiao Yao said to Yu Luying.

He wanted to induce Yu Luying to say something like "yes, I thought so", but Yu Luying said: "Again? Unscrupulous security? What are you talking about? ”

As he spoke, he carefully took out a pack of facial tissues from his bag, pulled one out of it, and began to bend down to wipe his feet.

"Hello?" Xiao Yao picked up his mobile phone.

"What are you two doing? Where did it go? Shen Jie took a crisp bite of the apple on the other end of the phone: "I'm home, and I haven't seen you yet." ”

"Oh," Xiao Yao said in an understated tone as much as possible, "I told my grandmother that we had a spicy meal outside and then took a walk...... Scatter your mind or something, and I'll be back in a while. ”

There was silence on the other end of the line, followed by a crisp apple bite.

"That's ......," Xiao Yao said.

"Then ......," Shen Jie said, "Come back early, don't play too late." I just learned how to peel apples from my grandmother, and I'll show you one when you get back. ”

"Okay."

Xiao Yao put down the phone and let out a long breath.

He felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

"Shall we go back sooner?" Xiao Yao turned his head to discuss with Yu Luying.

"I still want to walk with you again," Yu Luying pursed her lips and smiled, "You can't do it yourself...... Myself...... That's it. ”

"No," Xiao Yao explained, "it's mainly grandma......"

A dazzling white light swept in all directions from far and near, and got closer and closer.

Damn, it's finally played out according to the script, isn't it?

Yu Luying retracted her half-wiped foot, put the small stockings that had not been completely wiped into the small black leather shoes, and stepped on the heel of the shoe in a hurry, while Xiao Yao reached out and ......

The light was getting closer and closer, Yu Luying lowered her head and straightened her shirt, and at the same time reached out to help Xiao Yao straighten the crooked belt.

"I can't even tie a belt." Yu Luying whispered reproach.

"Hey, what are you doing over there?" The dogleg in the security guard uniform shouted.

"I'm × that, old ×!" An evil fire rose from Xiao Yao's heart, causing him to publish two or three sentences in a row that did not conform to the construction of spiritual civilization, nor did it conform to the "Code of Conduct for Middle School Students" and the "Code of Conduct for Middle School Students", and finally left one sentence: "It's your business!" ”

The security guard was furious, spread his wings like an eagle, and was about to pounce on him with his teeth and claws, Xiao Yao was about to step forward with a flick of his sleeves, but was pulled away by Yu Luying.

"It's thirteen o'clock," Yu Luying said softly: "Run!" ”

The two of them walked quickly, easily shook off the security guard, easily climbed over a low wall, and left the park.

The two men sat on the edge of the street, looked at each other, and suddenly laughed together.

"You're laughing, you're laughing." Yu Luying said.

"I laugh at you for being the number one student in this grade, Sister Wen Jing," Xiao Yao said with a smile: "You are so skillful when you climb the wall, and the sense of disobedience is too strong." ”

"You're laughing, you're laughing." Yu Luying said: "You are also a good student! ”

"That's right!" Xiao Yao patted his head.

Two good students who don't go home after school, and there is nothing wrong with doing these things here.

Seeing that the moon was getting taller, the two of them had to go back to their respective homes and find their mothers like other little mandarin ducks.

The two men held hands, shoulder to shoulder, and walked on their way home.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Yao turned his head and asked with concern.

"It's nothing," Yu Luying said, "It's just that the inside of the shoes is sticky and uncomfortable." ”

"......" Xiao Yao said: "You go back and wash it quickly, don't let her smell it, she is very familiar with it." ”

"I know," Yu Luying said, "What do you mean by 'she is very familiar', it's really a shame that you can say such things." ”

"Tsk," Xiao Yao said, "What's the point of covering your ears and stealing the bell?" ”

"When did we have someone else here that built a trellis?" Yu Luying stretched her neck and looked around.

"Goo, goo."

What kind of bird chirps strangely...... Xiao Yao muttered in his heart.

Wait, I'm not grass, Xiao Yao had an ominous premonition in his heart.

Grape trellises? Strange birds? The Earl of Nottington? I can't really be in a dream, am I?

Again?

He jerked his head up and looked at the branch where the crow had appeared in his dream.

But there were no branches, and there were no trees in that place.

Xiao Yao saw a black bird squatting on the grape trellis, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Go, go." Xiao Yao waved the back of his hand and drove it away with a cry in his mouth.

"The little crow is so good," Yu Luying said, "Why are you messing with it?" ”

"You don't understand," Xiao Yao said, "it's a bad omen to meet a crow." ”

"The young man is quite superstitious." Yu Luying said.

The two of them continued to walk home, chatting about things at school along the way, and then chatted about "sleeping sickness" under Xiao Yao's deliberate guidance, and finally was brought back to school by Yu Luying.

They talked about the "Oriental Red Continent" military training, which was postponed to next month, and Xiao Yao, like every middle school student, complained about the significance of the military training.

"Obviously, I have already had a week of military training when I entered high school in my first year," Xiao Yao said: "I have to come again in my second year of high school, and go to fuck Dongfang Hongzhou, it's all some formalistic and meaningless things......"

"Military training is still quite meaningful, although I can't like it," Yu Luying said seriously: "Participating in military training can cultivate students' collective concept, and having a strong collective concept has always been a fine tradition of our Chinese nation, but now many students are only children, and their understanding of 'collective' is not deep enough." When participating in military training, the school will divide the students into different teams for training. In the process of training, let students feel the strength of the collective, which is conducive to cultivating students' sense of collective honor and helping students establish a correct collective concept......"

Xiao Yao was naturally too lazy to listen to these and didn't bother to argue with her, so he said casually: "Yes! The deputy squad leader was right! ”

"I'm the school committee." Yu Luying blurted out.

A smile appeared on the corner of Xiao Yao's mouth, but the smile on Yu Luying's face gradually solidified.

He remembered very well that Yu Luying in reality did not hold any position in the class. This stalk of "the deputy squad leader is right" and "I am the school committee" only appeared in the "dream" of Xiao Yao (and Shen Jie).

"The chicks are showing their black feet, right?" Xiao Yao said in a pretended relaxed tone.

"What did you say?" Yu Luying showed a puzzled look.

"I said you, show the horse's feet," Xiao Yao raised his right hand and gently pushed Yu Luying's head with his index finger: "It's bald." ”

"I don't know what the hell you're talking about." Yu Luying looked a little angry.

"Still pretending?" Xiao Yao began to get angrier than she did.
