Chapter 25: League of Poor Students (2)

The person stood up, wearing the same style uniform as Ming Shu’s. It was a male uniform.

The light was so dim that Ming Shu couldn’t see his face clearly, only knowing that the boy was much taller than herself.

On a rainy night, a girl student was murdered by a serial killer and abandoned in the wilderness.

Ming Shu had already imagined the headlines for tomorrow’s newspaper.

Eh, so hungry!

Ming Shu passed the boy, pressing her hands on her abdomen. Brushing off his dirty clothes and seeing that Ming Shu was about to leave, he looked at her for a while and suddenly called her. “Lu Meng?”

Through the rain, Ming Shu looked at the boy with alarm. She had no snacks for him to rob.

His voice was clean, sounding peaceful. “Why are you here when it’s so late?”

“Sleepwalking,” Ming Shu answered randomly.

“…”

Who would sleepwalk to the school’s old teaching building?

The boy raised his hands to hold his collar, saying calmly, “Go back early.”

Then he passed Ming Shu quickly, unwilling to stay.

Seeing him disappear in the rain, Ming Shu wiped her face and complained, “Crazy ah!”

The school was closed now so Ming Shu had to find a place to climb the wall to get out. The wall of the school was a little high, but she succeeded in climbing it after a while. Sitting on top of the wall, Ming Shu calmed herself and rested there, exposed to the rain.

I’m so tired.

Without snacks to support me, I might die here.

Ming Shu inelegantly sat on the top of wall. When her eyes adjusted to the light, she seemed to see someone standing behind a tree under her feet.

Ming Shu moved her body to adjust her line of sight. After a moment, she lay prone on top of wall, shouting, “Hey, you, why did you follow me?”

Following a beautiful girl student, what do you want to do?

Knowing that he was found out, the boy standing behind the tree walked out gradually. It was the same guy from before.

The boy walked to the wall and looked at Ming Shu who was lying prone, answering, “The gate was closed.”

That explained why he was here too; he was about to go out over the wall as well.

The sound of rain muffled all other sounds, the two keeping silent.

After a while, Ming Shu broke the silence and asked, “Do you have any food?”

“Ah?”

Obviously, the boy was surprised by the question.

“Food,” Ming Shu said again.

“No…” He was a man, how could he bring food with him all the time?

Ming Shu sat up, unwilling to talk to this stalker who didn’t have any food. Then she jumped down from the top of the wall. Outside was an alley; it was dark and not equipped with any street lamp.

The boy also went out over the wall. Looking at Ming Shu, who was gasping, he asked with hesitation, “Lu Meng, do you need me to send you back?”

Although knowing he couldn’t see her face, Ming Shu still smiled as standard and refused politely. “No, thanks.”

“Well, be careful on your way home.” The boy said it out of kindness among classmates. After all, no other meaning could be discerned from his mood.

Then he left toward the other side of the alley. After leaning against the wall and resting for a while, Ming Shu was also about to leave.

As she lifted her foot, she felt that she had stepped on something. She bent down and picked it up.

Rumble—

Illuminated by lightning, the card could be seen clearly by Ming Shu.

It was a student ID card on which the boy student was pure and handsome, like an Adonis from ancient Greek mythology.

It can’t be eaten.

Useless.

Ming Shu threw it away before she saw the name, walking into the darkness of the valley.

…

Having been exposed to the rain for a whole night, Ming Shu had a serious cold the next day and was dizzy and sleepy when she arrived at the classroom.

“Mengmeng, what’s the matter with you?” As soon as Ming Shu sat in the Host’s seat, a girl with short hair beside her moved closer to her, asking, “Why is your face so red?”

The girl with short hair touched Ming Shu’s forehead and suddenly cried, “Ah, Mengmeng, you have a fever!”

“En…” It’s just a fever, what’s the fuss? Ming Shu thought.

Ming Shu pushed away the hand of the short-haired girl, a smile on her pale face. “It’s okay. I’ll be fine after eating something.”

“You have a fever. You should take medicine instead of eating other things.” The girl with short hair was worried. “Are you confused because of the fever? Ah… I’ll take you to the infirmary.”

The girl with short hair dragged Ming Shu to the infirmary uncompromisingly.

At that time, Jin Yuqi and a boy were about to come in. So they met at the door and paused there.

Jin Yuqi looked Ming Shu up and down, asking with worry, “What’s the matter with Lu Meng?”

Ming Shu glanced at them quickly and her gaze didn’t linger for one second. Although smiling as usual, she was totally unwilling to talk to them.

“Get away!” The girl with short hair who dragged Ming Shu along seemed to greatly hate Jin Yuqi, her words to Jin Yuqi full of resentment.

Jin Yuqi was a female supporting role originally, beautiful and rich. Just standing there, she was a fair-skinned, rich, and attractive lady.

With a worried expression, she looked at the boy next to her. “A’Feng, Lu Meng seems to be uncomfortable. How about you take her to the infirmary?”

Before he could speak, the girl with short hair became agitated, face turning red. “Jin Yuqi, don’t go overboard!”

This guy was the Host’s childhood sweetheart, Shangguan Feng.

“Ye Miaomiao, I just want A’Feng to take Lu Meng to the infirmary. What’s wrong with that?” Jin Yuqi said righteously.

The students in the classroom had been attracted by the noise at the door and were watching them curiously.

“You know what…” The girl with short hair was extremely angry. But being stared at by others, she had to swallow her words.

Knowing that Lu Meng liked Shangguan Feng, Jin Yuqi still showed off in Lu Meng’s presence, always high profile. She just wanted to make Lu Meng angry and jealous.

Under the misguidance of Jin Yuqi, Shangguang Feng had no good feelings for Lu Meng now. At Jin Yuqi’s proposal, he said nothing and directly went into the classroom, dragging Jin Yuqi behind him.

“A’Feng, take Lu Meng to the infirmary,” Jin Yuqi said gently with a concerned look. “After all, she and you grew up together, you should take care of her.”

“Stay out of our business,” the girl with short hair scolded in a low voice that no one besides Shangguan Feng could hear.

He was angry, his face becoming gloomy at once. “Who did you scold?”

“Who I scolded knows.” The girl with short hair was fearless too, staring at Shangguang Feng directly. “Shangguan Feng, you’re a bad man.”

“Liushui, don’t speak so frankly. They won’t understand. Don’t waste time, let’s go,” Ming Shu said, smiling.

Ye Miaomiao looked at Ming Shu, surprised.

Were these words from Lu Meng who really liked Shangguan Feng?

Didn’t she wake up today?

Shangguan Feng was already infuriated by Ye Miaomiao. But now, because of what Ming Shu said, the fury in his eyes flared. “Lu Meng, you say that again.”

Ming Shu always smiled before speaking, her expression innocent. “Alas, now you don’t even understand human language. Since you don’t know how to be a man, don’t imitate one.”
