Volume 1 Origin 41 Origin The direction from which the cry came

Walking in the empty and somewhat bleak teaching corridor at night, Tang Yuanyuan didn't know if it was because of the cool breeze in the corridor, or because he didn't know where to be worried about someone's back, and he sneezed a few times in a row.

This made the group of people who didn't want to make too much noise in the empty teaching building almost gave up, but fortunately she covered her mouth in time, and she didn't fall into the extremely embarrassing realm where the sound of sneezing echoed in the corridor.

Even so, Tang Yuanyuan still wiped his nose with his index finger a little embarrassed after a few sneezes, and then stopped and turned around to sneak a glance at Yi Huai who was following him, but happened to meet the subtle expression on the latter's face.

"You were just snickering, weren't you?"

"I don't, I just feel that human beings are really weak, and a little wind will also catch a cold."

Yi Huai said with a smile and stopped, leaned down and approached Tang Yuanyuan, took off the coat on his body and handed it to her: "Wear it for you, anyway, I won't catch a cold because of this kind of thing." ”

"How do you feel like you're angry with me?" Tang Yuanyuan frowned when he looked at the clothes handed over by Yi Huai, and instead of immediately reaching out to pick them up, he pouted and hummed in a low voice, "There is also a possibility that someone is talking about me behind my back..."

"I didn't expect you to believe this set of words... Come on, who's going to talk to you behind your back? He said, "Your network is so clean and simple that you can figure it out in a day or two, and after living with you for more than half a month, it is basically those fixed people hanging around... Well, most of them are housekeepers and all kinds of part-time workers hired by your family. ”

Yi Huai looked at her and raised his eyebrows, and said:

"You can basically say that you don't have friends of the same age, well... You wouldn't think there would be some adolescent boy secretly talking to you behind your back, would you? ”

As soon as he said this, Tang Yuanyuan's face immediately showed an expression of "Are you okay", raised his hand, and knocked a knife on his shoulder, and then stuck out his tongue:

"It's really ignorant, I don't know how many kinds of chattering I have lived for so many years? Why does it have to be someone who has a crush on me? Maybe it's my dad or grandpa who misses his dear daughter or granddaughter and secretly reads my name behind my back? ”

The two of them got together like this and lowered their voices and shouted, but Xun who was lying on Tang Yuanyuan's shoulder couldn't stand this nourishing mouth at first, jumped up from her shoulder and landed on Yi Huai's arm, then turned around and swept Yi Huai's hand with his tail, and then bit the coat that snatched his hand and fell back on Tang Yuanyuan's shoulder.

Yi Huai looked a little stunned as he snorted and put the coat on Tang Yuanyuan, as if he hadn't reacted to what had happened for a while, until Tang Yuanyuan burst out laughing.

"Old fox, you...."

"What are you, I'm not interested in watching the stinky little ghost quarrel with fate." Seeing that the coat was well draped on Tang Yuanyuan's body, she squinted and turned around and lay down on her shoulder again, without even looking at Yi Huai.

"I know that Yuanyuan is weak and still grinding, so I didn't put it on her earlier, why, do you want me to wait for the clothes in your hand to fall to the ground?"

Yi Huai was a little speechless by its words, it was not that he didn't want to put clothes on Tang Yuanyuan, but she didn't pick it up immediately when he handed her the coat, so he felt a little hesitant and didn't take the initiative to put it on the other party.

He was worried that he would do too much to disgust the other party by taking care of Tang Yuanyuan's clothes, and he couldn't do it without caring about draping his clothes on the other party.

At this moment, his hands were empty, so he had to sigh lightly, put down his hand, lowered his eyes and glanced at Tang Yuanyuan, who was draped in his clothes, and said in his heart, this is okay, at least his goal has been achieved.

Yi Huai straightened up again after thinking about it, and his eyes fell on the long corridor of the teaching corridor behind Tang Yuanyuan.

The window at the end of the corridor seems to be open for some reason, and walking in such a corridor seems to be inevitably blown by the wind flowing down the corridor, and the night breeze in late autumn is not as pleasant as in summer.

Yi Huai felt that maybe it would be better for him to go ahead of Tang Yuanyuan, not only did he not have to see the people who had a lot of opinions about him, but he could also block the cold night wind that circulated a little bit for Tang Yuanyuan.

So he turned sideways around Tang Yuanyuan's side, intending to walk in front of her, but at the moment when the two passed by, he suddenly felt that the corners of his clothes were pulled by some force.

He looked back at Tang Yuanyuan, who was holding the corner of his clothes, with some surprise, but the latter withdrew his hand at the moment when he met his gaze, and then looked at him and suddenly showed a slightly embarrassed look.

"Uhhh That one... Before I knew it, my hand was moving on its own...", she said and scratched her hair, "Hmm... Thank you for the coat? Thank you for helping me get dressed... However, you are wearing a single coat, won't you be cold? ”

Yi Huai was stunned when he heard this, looked at Tang Yuanyuan's eyes, was silent for a moment, and then laughed:

"I thought you were smart, I'm not human, how did you think to ask me such a question?"

"Don't change your concept, not getting sick because of this kind of thing and not feeling cold are two different things, right?" As she spoke, her gaze slowly drifted down to his hand, "Because you're not like the other goblins... You have your own body temperature, and I have felt your body temperature change...."

"You have your own senses, and you're more like a human than a ghost in this regard, aren't you? So there's no reason why you shouldn't feel cold, right? ”

Her words fell so softly, but she didn't hear Yi Huai's answer immediately, and suddenly fell into a dead silence in the long corridor for a moment.

After a long while, Yi Huai suddenly raised his hand, he slightly curled his index finger and gently touched Tang Yuanyuan's forehead, and then quickly withdrew his hand, turned around and walked past her, and laughed in a low voice:

"Don't worry, I'm not cold."

When he said this, he happened to pass by Tang Yuanyuan with his back, Tang Yuanyuan couldn't see the expression on his face clearly, but instinctively raised his hand and touched his forehead with some confusion.

There was indeed warmth from his fingertips touching the top, but it was strange to answer himself in this way, right?

I always feel that there was a moment when the atmosphere was very delicate.... Tang Yuanyuan said so heartily peeking at Yi Huai's back, she didn't know if this was her own illusion, she always felt that the other party didn't seem to want to let her see the expression on his face, but she felt that it was a pity that she couldn't see Yi Huai's expression clearly.

Lying on her shoulder in silence to witness what was happening between the two, she let out an inaudible snort, and slipped into the back hood of the coat, staring at the corridor behind them in a different direction.

And Yi Huai, who had already turned around, took a somewhat slow step, his eyes fell on the little finger of his left hand, his red eyes flickered, and the expression on his face was a little helpless and bitter when he looked at the looming red silk thread.

"I really don't know if it's better to say she's too blunt or unsuspecting.... You can care less about those things... Maybe it would be better if she only used me as a tool to protect her...?"

"You don't have to care so much about me, Tang Yuanyuan.... The more you do this, the more abnormal I become...."

He muttered to himself so softly, sighing in his heart, which was already a little disturbed by inexplicability, the fingertip that touched the girl's forehead seemed to have a little warmth at the moment, and he clenched his fist tightly in his palm.

After his steps had walked a short distance, the footsteps belonging to Tang Yuanyuan behind him finally sounded, and she seemed to have finally begun to catch up with her steps, but for some reason it sounded a little hurried.

Yi Huai couldn't help frowning and turned back, but just at the moment he turned around, he happened to run into Tang Yuanyuan grabbing his arm, and whispered to him with a nervous expression:

"Yi Huai, did you hear anything?"

"Voice?"

Hearing this, he instinctively raised his head and looked vigilantly at the ends of the corridor that was still empty, but he didn't see any flashing shadows or anomalies, and there seemed to be no sound in his ears for a while, except for the wind in the corridor that had always existed.

He even deliberately expanded his perceptual inspiration, and failed to detect any dangerous ghosts around him.

Just as he was about to bow his head and whisper to ask Tang Yuanyuan when he heard it, the latter first put his index finger between his lips to signal him not to speak, and then she listened quietly for a while, and suddenly looked up at the ceiling above their heads.

"It's the baby's cry... Voices coming from upstairs! She whispered, reaching out to the stairs at the end of the hallway, "like a cry coming from the direction of the bathroom upstairs." ”

"Why do babies cry in schools?"

Yi Huai frowned, he couldn't hear any sound, he couldn't help but doubt himself a little, his eyes fell on Tang Yuanyuan's back shoulders and ears, but the latter only shook his head.

"I can't hear the sound either, and I haven't noticed the ghost around here."

"Then that cry that only I can hear may be a bait or a trap to lure me."

Tang Yuanyuan didn't panic a little after seeing Yi Huai and Xun's reactions, but blinked his eyes and quickly continued: "But with such guidance, it is likely that it will also be a breakthrough for us to find ghosts. ”

"Remember, there's something in the stomach of the female ghost who confronted us in the storage room. There is a baby's cry, or it is possible that something in her belly has been born. ”

She swallowed lightly as she spoke, and added:

"I decided to go to that place where the crying was coming from, what do you think?"

"Naturally, I will go where you go." He shook his body, "I'm here to protect you." ”

"It's up to you." Yi Huai said the same, and his gaze also fell in the same direction as Tang Yuanyuan, "I really want to see what is running rampant on this campus, but you have to be careful not to get too far away from us." ”

"Okay."

Tang Yuanyuan nodded in agreement with Yi Huai's words, but he had another idea in his heart.

She knew that she might cause unnecessary danger and trouble if she was too far away from Yi Huai and Xun, but if necessary, she would decide to use herself as bait to lure the other party out

Because since the other party is so deliberately hiding their aura, and they only make a voice to seduce themselves, there is no doubt that they are absolutely unwilling to fight against Yi Huai and Xun, and if she wants to completely solve them in this situation, she may have to make some dangerous choices.

Of course, in this case, she couldn't open her mouth to say it to Yi Huai and Xun at this time, because she knew that if they knew that they had such intentions, they would definitely not let her get involved in any dangerous areas.

So everything can only be controlled by herself, as if she had faced those troubles alone countless times in the past....

But now there is something different, at least she can choose a better time to put her safety in the hands of someone she can trust.

With such a thought in his heart, Tang Yuanyuan took a deep breath and looked at Yi Huai, and then they took steps together and walked in the direction where the cry came from in the teaching building.
