Chapter 5 (2/2)
“Mn,” Huo Ran took a bite of hosts then?” Kou Chen asks
“There are no ghosts in the wild,” Huo Ran says
“…Based on what are there no ghosts in the wild?” Kou Chen follows up
“Bullshi+t, if there are ghosts in the wild how do I fucking live,” Huo Ran says, “The wild has to not have ghosts”
“fuck,” Kou Chen looks at hiic of yours is pretty strong huh”
Finishi+ng the roast, who exactly that figure was, their discussion ended up fruitless, the only inforood at drinking
After the fealked out through the door, Kou Chen felt that he was floating above his feet a little, but Huo Ran's eyes were still clear, on another level
Xu ZhiFan and Hu Yi didn't drinkonto Xu ZhiFan's neck singing non-stop, in the end getting tossed under a roadside tree by Xu ZhiFan
“How are you guys going?” Kou Chen asks
“Bike and scooter,” Xu ZhiFan says, “Parked over at the front gate”
“He'll be driving too?” Kou Chen points a finger at Jiang Lei
“He rodehi fro first,” Kou Chen sloalks a few steps back along the road, “Huo Ran”
“What,” Huo Ran looks at hiht of so,” Kou Chen says
Huo Ran ht,” Kou Chen se steps, still singing, “HuoHuoHuoHuo…”
The few of the spots at the school e strap on the scooter to tie Jiang Lei onto his back
“What thing was Kou Chen just talking about?” Hu Yi had driven off, only then did Xu ZhiFan ask
“The thing fro the bet duh,” Huo Ran says, “The loser pro”
“Oh,” Xu ZhiFan starts up the scooter, “How exactly did you end up losing? Got scared and ran out?”
Huo Ran hops onto his bike and pedals forward: “I ca8 this is an insult walked up till the end then suddenly stepped back! I didn't react in ti outside first”
Xu ZhiFan was stunned for a bit, then following that couldn't stop laughing
“Stop laughing,” Huo Ran furrows his brows, “How about… to to take a look, logically speaking if it's really a person, in pitch darkness juh place, there'd be traces left in some way”
“Sure,” Xu ZhiFan nods his head, “Too take a look”
The people in the dored from the previous se from the first floor to the second, but Kou Chen's dorm for so Lei and Hu Yi hadn't arrived at school, and after Huo Ran had settled his luggage, suddenly with sohost building to take a look immediately
In the day he was still very brave
There are no ghosts in the wild, there are no ghosts in the day
Ghosts are in little dark rooht
Co out of the door, Kou Chen had just walked outside with Xu Chuan, and Xu Chuan had a few tangerines in his hand, handing two over: “Try them, they're pretty sweet”
“Thank you,” Huo Ran receives the tangerines
As he turns to leave, Kou Chen calls out to hierines in his hand with a start, turning his head, if Kou Chen dared to sing9 fairly certain he's referring to the jay chou song , he would dare to stuff the tangerines into his otta ask you, if I' I need to prepare?”
“…Depends on how you camp,” Huo Ran was momentarily at a loss
“In complete wilderness, 3 days duration,” Kou Chen says, “There's only a tent at thea hearthstone maybe,” Huo Ran says
There were just tooa possibly non-waterproof tent could allow them to survive in the wilderness, even if he wanted to answer he didn't knohere to start
“Hearthstone?” Kou Chen didn't get it, “Would a portable gas stove work?”
Xu Chuan beside hi Brother10 i looked this whole phrase up; huo ran is probably referring to an online gauy that keeps appearing in (google) ies so there's probably a joke somewhere… ”
“You fucker11 he says ‘you(r) uncle' here ,” Kou Chen co serious here”
“If I tell you about it seriously, without at least half an hour you wouldn't get it,” Huo Ran sighs
“Then fine,” Kou Chen thinks for a bit, “Tonight let's eat together, you tell reater detail, I'll make a list to think it over slowly”
“…Ah,” Huo Ran answers a little blankly, watching Kou Chen and Xu Chuan walk away eating their tangerines, and after they'd gone he then turned around, “fuck? Did I just agree?”
“Mn,” Xu ZhiFan was peeling the tangerine
“Why do I have to tell him, are we very familiar?” Huo Ran says
“Counts as sohost with,” Xu ZhiFan says as he eats, “Just tell hi bag, then ends up dying outside, you'd feel apologetic”
Today's classes hadn't started, but the field was very crowded, besides the new students ho getting military trained12 what they do for orientation , there were a nu to school
Perhaps the yang energy was too abundant, but the ghost building didn't see, other than being older and dirtier
Huo Ran stood in front of the stone plate, and saw that it did indeed have Municipal Historical Relic so
“Yesterday that ghost… person, juht there,” Huo Ran points at the second floor staircase entrance, “It's really quite high”
“Let's go over and see,” Xu ZhiFan starts walking over
Huo Ran looked around at the surroundings, this building was access denied, but there were very few people in this area, nobody was looking this way
He followed and headed over, looking at the ground next to the staircase
Cerass in the cracks, no traces could be detected
“Want to take a look in the back?” Xu ZhiFan asks, “Yesterday Kou Chen said he'd been here since 9 o'clock, that person probably hadn't gone up froo,” Huo Ran says
Next to the ghost building was the surrounding wall13 refers to the wall that usually surrounds school co the wall to the back, Huo Ran still hadn't thought they'd see anything, but just after they'd turned, both he and Xu ZhiFan froze in place
The back of the school was full of grass half a person tall, and there were a nu in the corner
In the midst of shock and aardness Huo Ran quickly counted, 4 boys 2 girls, all Year 3 students, one of the girls was the belle of the Year 3 Hu too many distinctions meant that the quality would fall easily, this belle wasn't very likeable, not nice looking, with a poor temper too
In this sort of situation, she was even less likeable
“Get lost,” the belle said, “Students aren't allowed here didn't you know!”
Huo Ran didn't have irls, but an attitude like the belle's, he really felt like losing his teo away, instantly became a hard question
Xu ZhiFan was probably the same, as such the few of them just aardly stayed silent, frozen in their places
Just as Huo Ran felt that maybe they should just walk away, footsteps sounded from behind him
Huo Ran and Xu ZhiFan turned their heads at the saerines in his hand
“What are you doing?” Kou Chen squeezed through fro the few people on the other side, Kou Chen also froze
“So annoying!” the belle furrows her brows, “Are you all fools! Asked all of you to get lost! Did you not understand!”
Kou Chen paused for 2 seconds, then walked forward, putting the tangerines in his pocket as he went
Huo Ran glared at hi he needed to help
But as Kou Chen got to theas he faced the surrounding wall
“What are you doing?” the belle was fed up
Kou Chen turned to face her: “Peeing”
