The sleeping Shen Zuimo looked like a cute little pig. Ye Xiaofan couldn't help but be a little dazed, feeling an urge to kiss that rosy cheek.
He reached out to feel her forehead and found that there was no more fever, so Ye Xiaofan breathed a sigh of relief, grabbed his backpack, and left the room, heading to school.
How to say, this woman is related to a gun and doesn't allow me to call the police, she must be up to some shady business. If I deal with her too much, I'm afraid I'll get implicated, or worse, die.
In summary, this woman is trouble. When she recovers, let her figure it out herself. But just thinking about parting from such a beautiful woman, Ye Xiaofan actually felt a bit reluctant. Men really are creatures who think with their lower half. Rationality vanished in an instant.
Seventh Middle School in H City.
Ye Xiaofan arrived at the classroom and sat quietly in his seat, deep in thought about Shen Zuimo.
"Yo, Ye Xiaofan, you finally showed up. I thought you were dead."
It was Lu Shaoqiu, Ye Xiaofan's classmate, who spoke. His family runs a supermarket, and this guy often brags in class about how much business their supermarket did this month.
Actually, everyone knows their supermarket is not big, the area is less than 500 square meters, a small supermarket; a month's turnover at most wouldn't be more than fifty thousand. After deducting the capital, venue rent, and labor costs, you can imagine how much they profit.
This guy's mouth is quite foul, Ye Xiaofan had only missed school for one day, and he was already being cursed as dead.
"Did the pigs I raise eat your family's rice? Cursing me to death in broad daylight?" Ye Xiaofan retorted with displeasure.
"Hey, didn't you go to Phoenix Mountain the day before yesterday to photograph the meteor shower for Liu Siyan? That night, a shooting incident happened at the foot of Phoenix Mountain, and several people were killed." Lu Shaoqiu immediately said.
Clatter.
Hearing this news, Ye Xiaofan immediately recalled the situation that night. Indeed, while coming down the mountain, he heard several strange noises, combined with the injuries on Shen Zuimo; it was definitely gunfire. The unexpected part was that many people died that night. What was the connection between those people and Shen Zuimo?
"Xiaofan, did you capture it?" While Ye Xiaofan was engrossed in his thoughts, a girl in front turned back excitedly to ask.
Clearly, everyone anticipated the beautiful sight of the meteor shower.
Suddenly, Ye Xiaofan noticed that most of his classmates were watching him, even Liu Siyan slightly turned her head to look his way.
She is paying attention to me, is she concerned whether I captured it or not? Alright, since I've already resolved to do it, I won't give up.
He unzipped his school uniform and reached in. Just handing over the memory card to the goddess of his heart, even a one percent chance to receive her favor would be nice.
'Huh.'
At this moment, Ye Xiaofan realized there was no clothing inside his school uniform. This was embarrassing; he was going to lose face big time.
Previously, because of Shen Zuimo's injury, he had stripped off the shirt inside his school uniform to bandage the wound. Recalling the memory card, it was in the shirt pocket taken out from the camera, wasn't it?
And at that time, because of Shen Zuimo's severe injuries and the little interactions between them, Ye Xiaofan completely forgot about the memory card. Thinking back now, that shirt was probably thrown into the trash bin and taken away by the hotel's service staff, wasn't it?
"What's wrong? Can't take it out? I don't think you went to Phoenix Mountain at all," Lu Shaoqiu immediately seized the chance to mock: "Turns out you only have a mouth to speak with. I don't believe you'd dare to go to Phoenix Mountain alone in the middle of the night."
"Yeah, some people say such things to catch certain people's attention, but in the end, they achieve nothing."
Look, Liu Siyan's admirers started to launch verbal attacks. However, Ye Xiaofan just sat quietly in his seat, neither retorting nor arguing. After all, without the memory card, no matter how much he says, it might just seem like an excuse. Why bother wasting words?
Liu Siyan seemed somewhat disappointed by this outcome, but as a goddess remains a goddess, her expression showed no waves, sitting in her seat as though she neither saw nor heard anything.
Amid Ye Xiaofan's silence, the gossip gradually faded. Until class started, then ended, and another class began…
"Hey, Ye Xiaofan, did you really not go to Phoenix Mountain?" the girl in front seemed suspicious of the situation.
Indeed, although Ye Xiaofan usually acted nonchalantly and carelessly, once he resolved to do something, he absolutely followed through. Those who were closer to Ye Xiaofan understood this well, so the girl in front had such doubts.
"Hehe. The teacher's here, let's focus on class." Ye Xiaofan chuckled, not answering directly.
Looking at Liu Siyan's silhouette from a distance brought a bit of regret and bitterness to his heart.
After school, Ye Xiaofan thought about going to the mall to buy clothes for Shen Zuimo, so he didn't linger. After returning the camera, he headed to the bike shed to get his bike.
"Ye Xiaofan."
Just as Ye Xiaofan was about to drive off, a heavenly voice suddenly came from behind.
"Yo, it's the old class monitor." Ye Xiaofan greeted with a smile.
The old class monitor is a girl named Chen Mengying. She was the class monitor throughout his three years of middle school. During middle school, he relied on her a lot because whenever he skipped class, didn't hand in homework, or got caught coming to school late, she would give him a good scolding.
But Ye Xiaofan had no immunity to beauties. Every time he saw Chen Mengying scolding him with her face flushed red, he seemed to enjoy it because this girl was even cuter when she was angry.
"Why didn't you tell the truth?" Chen Mengying took a step forward to inquire.
"The truth?" Ye Xiaofan was taken aback and looked over confusedly.
"The night before yesterday, I clearly saw you riding your bike to Phoenix Mountain, but why…"
So it was about this? Knowing each other after almost three years of middle and high school, they understood each other very well. However, Chen Mengying seemed to pay more attention to him than usual.
"Yeah, I went," Ye Xiaofan said truthfully.
"Then why didn't you show the meteor shower photos to Liu Siyan?" Chen Mengying asked again.
"I lost the memory card somewhere. If I told everyone, they might not believe it, so it's better not to say it at all." Ye Xiaofan said with a hearty smile.
"Honestly, you're always so careless! How could you even lose something so important? I don't know what to say about you. You were like this before; when will you ever change?"
"Mmm." Ye Xiaofan smiled at Chen Mengying but didn't offer much explanation.
"You…" Seeing Ye Xiaofan smiling at her, Chen Mengying's face suddenly turned red. For a moment, she was at a loss for words.
"Old class monitor…"
"Ah?"
"Do me a favor."
"What favor?"
"Help me buy some things. I'm afraid I won't choose well."
