"what?!"

Zhao Xi seemed to wake up from a nightmare.

She was breathing rapidly, looking around with wide eyes. The soft touch under her hands made her look down, and it was her familiar bed. Looking around again, it was her home.

Zhao Xi held her forehead in doubt, her memory was fuzzy: Was it a dream? She clearly remembered that she was in school and fell from the upstairs. She seemed to have seen Lu Qingci...

The scenes became unreal as she recalled them, like a black-and-white movie with bad signal and flashing snowflakes. There seemed to be a voice in her head reminding Zhao Xi: These are all dreams, dreams...

Is it really a dream?

Zhao Xi hugged her arms. Even though she was sitting on the warm bed, she still remembered the sudden feeling of being suspended in the air, which made her heart beat fast.

Zhao Xi couldn't help but call 1314: "1314, what happened just now? I feel so weird."

1314: [Drip, drip——]

1314 didn't respond as if there was a problem.

Zhao Xi felt something was wrong. 1314 was her only means of communication with the mission. Now that such a strange thing had happened, 1314 had lost its function. Zhao Xi felt uneasy. At this moment, her cell phone rang.

Zhao Xi took it and saw that it was Lu Qingci: "Zhao Xi, why didn't you come to class today? Did you oversleep?"

Zhao Xi's head hurts again. She remembers that she was already in school. She glanced at the date. It was Thursday.

And the day she accompanied Fu Peipei was also a Thursday. Could it be that it was really her dream?

Zhao Xi got out of bed, her mind was in a mess. School was the main place for her mission. Maybe she could solve her doubts by going to school?

Arriving at school, Zhao Xi greeted the teacher and sat down. She looked around and saw Fu Peipei, who was sitting in her seat with a calm expression, listening to the teacher attentively, not at all the nervous look that Zhao Xi remembered.

Zhao Xi's eyes flashed, she noticed that Nan Zhu had not come to class yet.

What does it mean? How did this plot develop? Zhao Xi would call 1314 every now and then, but there was still no response.

With too many things on his mind, Zhao Xi lay on the table with a depressed look on his face.

During lunch break, they stayed in a secluded garden on campus.

Lu Qingci said: "Zhao Xi, are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"No..." Zhao Xi straightened up, stared at Lu Qingci with clear eyes, and asked curiously: "What did you do when you asked for leave?"

Lu Qingci looked normal: "I went to deal with some things." He even smiled, which was rare. His eyebrows were clear and his eyes were elegant, with a sense of classical handsomeness: "Once this matter is over, there will be no more worries."

Zhao Xi nodded as if she understood: "Oh, just tell me if there's anything I can help you with." After she said that, she sighed, obviously in a bad mood.

Lu Qingci saw this, and a dark light flashed in his eyes. He asked, "Are you feeling unwell? Or, did someone make you angry?"

His expression was so cold for a moment that it made people's hair stand on end.

Zhao Xi said ignorantly: "No. I just," she lowered her long eyelashes and leaned over carefully to whisper in Lu Qingci's ear: "I had a terrible nightmare."

Lu Qingci: "How scary is it? Are you still scared now?"

Zhao Xi's face turned pale, and she looked around pitifully: "Well..." As if to make it more convincing, she emphasized: "Because it was too real! I almost fell from the building and died!"

"Why would I have such a dream..."

Because of the disappearance of 1314, Zhao Xi always had a bad feeling in her heart, which put her under a lot of psychological pressure. When facing Lu Qingci, she couldn't help but speak it out.

"Dreams are just dreams." Lu Qingci said, "How could you die? Zhao Xi, nothing will happen to you."

"Oh." Lu Qingci's words were too confident. Zhao Xi didn't know what to say, so he just took it as comfort: "I'm fine, of course nothing will happen to me."

I'm afraid it really was just a dream.

She felt much better and started talking to Lu Qingci about other things.

"How long has Nanzhu been on leave? Almost a week."

"I heard that he was missing. His family came to the school a few days ago to look for him."

"Ah? Is this true? It sounds scary."

Zhao Xi heard all the students' whispers. She carefully thought about their words and speculated on the development of the plot.

She couldn't just sit there and wait for death when 1314 lost contact, and Nanzhu, who had been missing until now, was her breakthrough.

So, Zhao Xi went directly to find the head teacher.

"Why are you asking Nanzhu? He has asked for leave." said the head teacher.

"Why did you take so long? Did something happen to him?" Zhao Xi asked persistently, "When will he come back?"

The head teacher became confused after her questioning: "Why are you asking him? Is there any relationship between you two?"

The head teacher's expression suddenly became serious: "Are you guys in a premature relationship?"

Zhao Xi was dumbfounded and waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no."

"How could there be none? I've seen all these little tricks of yours. You're still high school students, you should focus on your studies..."

Zhao Xi was forced by the head teacher to swear that he did not have an early love affair with Nan Zhu, and then he was let out of the office after listening to his lecture for an hour.

Zhao Xi's mind was filled with the righteous words of her head teacher, which made her feel dizzy. She walked out of the office building dejectedly.

Unexpectedly, I saw Fu Peipei standing with a middle-aged man.

The man looked to be in his thirties, with dark skin, firm features and bright eyes. He looked like a very serious person.

They seemed to be talking about something about the heroine. Zhao Xi wanted to listen carefully, but because he was too far away, his words were a little discontinuous: "Uncle, don't look for me. I really don't know where Nanzhu went... I don't know anything... No, curse..."

"You go with him... Don't be afraid..."

Zhao Xi couldn't hear clearly, and didn't understand the few words he heard, so he couldn't help but move closer to them.

"Someone!"

The man reacted so quickly that Zhao Xi was startled by his sudden gaze. Before she could explain, Fu Peipei's face changed drastically when she saw her. She just wanted to leave without saying anything. The man saw it and hurriedly chased after her.

Zhao Xi was left alone there, confused and bewildered.

"Boom-"

The sound of the big bell sounded unfamiliar to Zhao Xi. He looked up and found that it was the bell on the highest teaching building, the kind that most schools have, but Zhao Xi only heard the big bell of No. 1 Middle School ringing today.

It was probably repaired recently. Zhao Xi thought so and walked towards the classroom.

In the corner of the teaching building, traces of blood were faintly visible, as if they were ready to break through some shackles.

"The traffic is stuck? Okay, I'll go back by myself today."

Zhao Xi put down his phone and said to Lu Qingci, "I'm going to take a taxi home today. You can go back to school first."

Lu Qingci said: "I'll take you there."

He stopped a taxi, opened the door and stuffed Zhao Xi in, then got in himself and said to the driver, "Lijiang Garden Building 15."

Before Zhao Xi could say a word, Lu Qingci had already done everything.

Zhao Xi protested: "Hey, I haven't agreed yet? Hey!"

Lu Qingci grabbed her mouth and taught her a lesson like a little duck: "Okay, stop making noise."

When they arrived at their destination, Zhao Xi got out of the car and secretly glanced at Lu Qingci.

He stood alone, his figure was as straight as a poplar, his eyes were deep, and there was a rare trace of fatigue on his handsome and indifferent face. It was very subtle, but Zhao Xi saw it.

Lu Qingci had never been like this when his parents were in trouble. Zhao Xi was a little worried. She said, "Lu Qingci."

Lu Qingci handed her schoolbag to her and said, "Go home quickly."

Hearing the call, Lu Qingci lowered his head and asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhao Xi: "What happened to you today?"

Lu Qingci was puzzled, "What's wrong with me? Oh..." He seemed to have thought of something, pinched Zhao Xi's face, and said with a bit of malicious intent: "You can't kiss me today."

Zhao Xi was speechless, and forgot to ask what it meant that we couldn't kiss today. She angrily kicked the long leg of this hooligan: "What do you mean we can't kiss today? You can't kiss in the future! Who told you that?!"

Watching Zhao Xi's gradually disappearing figure, Lu Qingci pursed the corners of his slightly upturned mouth, and his head tilted strangely. Lu Qingci reached out and straightened his head. With a click, if it were on an ordinary person, his neck would have been broken long ago.

"Be quiet."

Lu Qingci warned in a cold voice. In the dim light, his facial features were abnormally distorted, as if two people were melted into one face, revealing an evil and sinister look.
