Chapter 178: Chapter 176: The Nightmare Strikes, Harbor of the Mind (3)
Having received a month of free entrance fees, Liu Sisi naturally wouldn’t miss such a great opportunity when Miss Gan finally agreed to attend a class.
“Miss Gan, what have you learned before? I want to see how far you’ve progressed.”
As she spoke, she casually pushed open the half-closed door of the study and strode in.
Bang!
She never expected that the opened door would bounce back on its own, and at twice the speed as it suddenly sprung back!
Instinctively, she raised a book to block it, but the door slammed heavily against the book, hitting her chest and almost causing her to burst into tears.
What kind of broken door is this, bouncing back automatically!
“Miss Gan, you haven’t answered my question yet.” As soon as Liu Sisi regained her composure, she asked again, not forgetting the main point.
“What progress? I don’t understand, Teacher.”
Miss Gan blinked her eyes, looking unbelievably innocent and adorable.
“What books did your previous tutors teach you? What characters do you recognize?” Liu Sisi asked, instinctively walking towards the location of the desk.
However, as soon as she stepped onto the wooden floor above the stage, it suddenly sank and she fell forward, kneeling on the ground.
“Umm….”
Both her knees hit the ground directly, causing Liu Sisi to instinctively let out a soft hum. It hurts! It really hurts!
From the corner of her eye, she saw the triumphant smile on Gan Miaoruo’s face!
But in the next instant, it seemed as though she noticed Liu Sisi’s gaze and the smile on her face disappeared.
Liu Sisi realized that her fall was most likely related to her little friend Gan Miaoruo!
Gritting her teeth, she got up from the ground, brushed off her hands, and continued to ask in a composed manner. Still, her eyes were scanning the surroundings, hoping to find the location of the next trap.
“Miss Gan, please answer my previous question.”
“What characters? What books? None of the teachers before taught me those things. Why don’t you teach Ruo Ruo instead, Teacher?”
Gan Miaoruo blinked her big clever eyes, a sly radiance flashing in their depths, looking completely innocent.
If it weren’t for the pain in her knees reminding Liu Sisi, she might have thought that the cute girl in front of her was truly innocent and that she was just overthinking.
Liu Sisi said nothing, stretched her neck to look at the book on the desk. She noticed that there was something suspicious about the corner of the book, and then there was the drawer, the stool…
She then sighed in amazement.
“Was this book brought here by mistake by the servants? It seems to have itching powder or something inside. What’s in this teacup? Fake blood made from tomato juice? And there is either a mouse or a snake in this desk, or maybe a whole cabinet full of cockroaches? Will this stool also have a trap? What do you think, Miss Gan?”
The smile on Gan Miaoruo’s face disappeared, and she stammered with her eyes wide open and mouth agape.
“How…how did you…know?”
“Very simple! Because I played like this when I was a kid too.”
Of course, Liu Sisi wouldn’t tell her that this is how it’s shown on TV, right?
She looked around amusedly, carefully surveying the beams above her head. Sure enough, she saw a wobbly water bucket and couldn’t help but shake her head.
“Miss Gan, are you sure you want to play with me…these things? If I retaliate, I don’t know if you’ll be upset.”
“Ugly monster, you dare!”
