Chapter 7 (2/2)
Looking doards he only saw a fleeting figure going across the e towards where the field was
“After therabbed Wei ChaoRen's hand fro down fro on the second floor corridor
A cha sounded fro de!” Xu Chuan sith his voice suppressed
Kou Chen also started sweating out of fright, he'd forgotten this was the ghost building which had a history longer than even the hundred-year old school, hiswith all sorts of disastrous states he could end up in if he fell from the second to the first floor wrapped in broken floorboards caused hi sure the floorboard hadn't broken, that the floor was also not thinking of caving in, and it was only then did he juain and leap down to the first floor
But that figure had already run off and disappeared without a trace
Kou Chen stood at the side of the field looking for half a day, not ure of the security guard uncle, even if he wanted to chase he didn't have a direction
“It was a girl,” Xu Chuan ran over, standing beside him
“Mn, I think so too,” Kou Chen nods his head
The footsteps earlier were very light, the figure particularly s around on their body, although not to sure, but it seeirl?” Wei ChaoRen was very shocked, “A girl has thisan eye over here, if you're co this Kou Chen glares at where the field was, not etting boring standing around, but just as he was about to give hiround, then started hopping and inching towards the side: “fuck, security, get down! Are you two blind!”
Xu Chuan and Wei ChaoRen quickly crouched doards, inching to the side with hi the knees and hopping as they moved' posture was exceptionally dumb, if it were any other time Xu Chuan felt that even if he had to beat himself to death there was no way he would use this sort of posture to walk, but in this instance Kou Chen had started it, and in addition Wei ChaoRen was exceptionally agile at hopping using this posture, so he'd followed along for so to the wall, he heard the sound of Kou Chen's laughter
Xu Chuan understood instantly, looking towards where the field was, bull-security-guard-shi+t there was not a single one3 literal translation: ‘security guard -even if you fart- there wasn't one' , he leapt up and went over to give Kou Chen's butt a kick: “You're so fucking bored you're like this!”
Kou Chen took half a day to finish laughing before wiping the tears that'd leaked out froht waiting someone out but they don't cos out of this,” Wei ChaoRen was still squatting and hugging his knees, “At least we know it's a feirl?” Huo Ran was stunned
Hearing this sort of news right after co out from Old Yuan's office, instantly swept the depression froone into the teachers' office twice in the two days after the school reopened clean
“A girl, in the ghost building roasting sausages to eat?” Xu ZhiFan repeated the information Kou Chen had offered, “Why does it sound like a joke the ht at that area at the back of the patio, the floor had traces of being burnt by fire, ent back there to take a look after, in the ashes there was still half a sausage”
“You guys ate it?” Huo Ran asks
“Nah,” Kou Chen gives hiuys know that it was that girl who roasted it? When you guys went over didn't you also not see a fire?” Huo Ran obviously didn't quite believe them
“By the time ent the fire had definitely already been put out,” Xu Chuan says, “But looking at the ashes, they still hadn't been bloay by the wind, and the wind's been pretty big these 2 days, if you go over to take a look right now, they definitely would've already been blown into nothing”
“That's a…” Huo Ran didn't quite believe Kou Chen's words, but he still trusted in Xu Chuan's, “How hungry does one have to be to let a girl go into the ghost building to barbecue…”
“And it's a sausage, you know,” Wei ChaoRen says, “Not hae, the kind that you can only eat after they're properly cooked, tastes a lot better than hae, even better if you make it yourself, but Kou Chen's doesn't count, in his faot us try the socks…”
Huo Ran and the few of the this sort of talk, but not because sausages had the same taste as socks, nor was it because Wei ChaoRen had said it like he'd eaten socks before…
“A boss that got hunted down into transferring schools like You, even kno tohi that the sausages he made tasted like socks hadn'tat the side, but this line he couldn't take, pointing at Wei ChaoRen: “This intellect of yours, don't talk about whether you'd survive past the first episode, you wouldn't even fucking make it into the teahter the whole way, after returning to the classroo until the English teacher had coiven the back of his head a slap before he stopped
When they went to the cafeteria to eat in the afternoon, Xu ZhiFan even specially asked for a steae
“The way they talked ,” he sat down opposite Huo Ran, taking a bite out of the sausage, “fuck, so salty”
“Like socks?” Huo Ran asks
“Never tried…” Xu ZhiFan puts the bitten sausage onto Jiang Lei's plate, “Lei-Ge, giving it to you to eat”
“Ai okay!” Jiang Lei was playing on his phone as he took a fork to poke it and eat, “It's pretty good”
“This sense of taste…” Huo Ran hadn't finished speaking, when a plate full of vegetables was placed beside his hand with a kuang
Following that Kou Chen took a seat right next to hi here for?” Huo Ran turned to take a look, Xu Chuan and Wei ChaoRen were still queuing
Kou Chen didn't answer, taking his concession card out fro it on his nose: “Beep! Student card”
“…Fine then,” Huo Ran ignored hi opposite asked: “Are you only eating vegetables!”
“Ate too ut today,” Kou Chen says
After saying that he picked up and gave the vegetables in his plate a etables very much' look on his face, then put theetables, but in the end only bit one stalk into his etables frole drop of oil, even if they're just cooked in water they should at least use some oil”
“Didn't you eat too ut?” Huo Ran asks
Kou Chen doesn't say anything, staring at him for a few seconds, then lowered his head to crunch crunch and start eating the vegetables, and by the ti their food and caetables in his plate
“The fuck, Kou Chen,” Wei ChaoRen looks at his plate in shock, “If you're not eating what are you sitting here with a plate for”
“Why do you care,” Kou Chen pushes the plate away, surveying the surroundings, “I cairl fro Lei raised his head, “That's right, in the afternoon most people eat in the cafeteria”
“Any discoveries?” Xu Chuan asks
“Yeah,” Kou Chen sighs, “I've found out that girls are pretty thin”
After Kou Chen says that, Huo Ran starts looking around as he ate, giving the girls that passed right by him extra looks
Girls these days were rather self-conscious, regardless of looks, there were very few chubby ones, in the time he took to eat and observe, the number of those that looked to hiust of as in the tens, not even counting those that were tall
It was really fishi+ng for a needle in the ocean
When they were done eating and getting ready to leave, Huo Ran saw the belle
The belle wasn't with the few boys, but was sitting next to that girl that had kept her head lowered that day, chatting along with two other girls as they ate
According to Kou Chen, the belle and her group had been there to receive protection fees at the back of the ghost building, and no ht he felt that it could only be that lowered head girl that seeone to pay the fees… then after receiving the fees, they're protecting for real? They're even eating together
As they alking out of the canteen, he couldn't help but turn to give another look, if he had to say sirl was pretty sood appetite, her chin propped on her hand as she looked at the dinner plate in front of her, the food on it untouched
Don't knohether it was because she'd felt his gaze, but that girl suddenly raised her eyes and looked over to where he was
He instantly felt a little aard
“Huo Ran,” Kou Chen called fro for his reply, Kou Chen's ar the momentum to pull hiht, a slap swatting his arh,” Kou Chen's arm stayed raised
“Talk,” Huo Ran looks at his ar National Day,” Kou Chen put his ar quietly, “Me, lare at hi is that my sister and her boyfriend are about to break up, this is the only chance for them tohave been together froh, it's been 10 years, it's really not been easy…”
“…Ah,” Huo Ran was momentarily at a loss
“The two of the, they'll leave after staying a night or two, they won't drag you down,” Kou Chen says, then sighs, “Theis still how this is their last effort to fix their relationshi+p, it's been 10 years… irl, became a shrew, if they break up, the next one won't be easy to find…”
Huo Ran glares at him for what could've been 10 seconds: “Kou Chen”
“Mn?” Kou Chen turns, the distraught expression on his face still hadn't subsided
“fuck your uncle,” Huo Ran says
“da, “Why are you so uncivilised”
