Chapter 8

Huo Ran was utterly speechless. As he turned to go up the stairs to the second floor, he noticed an empty mineral water bottle on the ground. He lifted his foot and kicked it, and the bottle passed through the stair railing, landing precisely on the head of Kou Chen, who had just run up the stairs to the first floor.

Just now, Jiang Lei turned his head and looked around, "I came out after finishing a piece."

Just returned, Kou Chen said, "I feel that he... how about I go up with you."

It is likely that the old north wind has blown it away said Huo Ran

Teacher Chen felt very gratified after explaining everything to him and walked out of the classroom with a smile

After running for about one hundred meters, he finally came to his senses, feeling that something was amiss, and turned back to take a glance.

"I will ask for you. Kou Chen should still be in the dormitory; let him go take a look," Xu Chuan said.

"How did you come here?" Hu Yi turned his head when he heard the sound of the door, "Aren't you attending class?"

Behind me, there is only the wind and the leaves blown down by the wind

However, Hu Yi appeared to be in a rather poor mood, sitting in a chair and staring blankly at a bag of sausages on the table

"I won't go, I don't want to dislocate my shoulder," Jiang Lei said decisively, "and I also don't want to be scolded by you all the way. I'm mainly doing this to ensure that our friendship can last a little longer."

"Is it really that tragic?" Xu Zhifan asked, "Do you believe it now?"

"Be gentle!" Jiang Lei shouted

"Alright, let's continue with the class," Teacher Chen turned around and wrote on the blackboard, "It's the beginning of the school year, and it's afternoon again. I know you are feeling sleepy, so perk up..."

You ... ... " Kou Chen turned around, feeling that something was amiss. He stared at his back for a few seconds and then called out, " Hu Yi."

Ever since the second period, after learning that Hu Yi had picked up the sausage knocked to the ground by Ke Hua, Jiang Lei has been constantly mentioning his desire to taste just how delicious this grilled sausage is that could entice a girl to run to the haunted building in the middle of the night.

"Not yet," Hu Yi replied in a muffled voice as he walked past him

"I answered a call and walked towards the back door," Xu Zhifan said, "I don't know what's going on, it's been quite strange these past couple of days. I'll ask this afternoon, hopefully it's not that something has happened that made him lose his mind. If that's the case, he might go out and buy a kitchen knife and come back to chop us all up one by one in the evening"

Especially after a summer vacation, the initial few months.

"The class is over, let's discuss your situation," Huo Ran said

What about human nature?" He suddenly stood up

No need for that" He refused abruptly

ghost

Xu Zhifan glanced at him and then lifted his leg to kick him on the backside

"That's quite impressive," Huo Ran said, "You can tell even when I'm wearing a school uniform?"

"I am sorry," the girl said softly, her voice trembling slightly

sausage

"I agreed, didn't I? If you don't let me control things a bit, don't blame me if it gets too tense with him. I'm afraid he might come up with some dramatic illness act again, and I won't be able to help but hit him," Huo Ran said indignantly. "If he wants to go, then let him go. I've dealt with all sorts of fools before. Didn't I bring my cousin back alive even when he couldn't even light a match?"

"Whose seat is that empty one?" Just before the class ended, the teacher asked while pointing at the empty seat next to Jiang Lei.

Jiang Lei. Huo Ran turned his head to look at Jiang Lei

He was cursing at a girl, accompanied by several people, and even kicked her. Hu Yi pointed to the sausage on the table and said, "Kick this to the ground."

"Who is bragging about that? If I were to boast, I would say it's me grilling sausages in the haunted building," said Kou Chen

"What the hell?" Huo Ran said

He has taken leave," Xu Chuan said

"Did you go to buy sausages? You must have been craving them this morning, right?" Kou Chen asked

Without waiting for the teacher to speak, he ran back to his seat

... ... Huo Ran. It was only then that Huo Ran realized this was Teacher Chen from the English department

Everyone turned their heads together, but Jiang Lei remained indifferent to the teacher's question, resting his chin on his hand

Huo Ran glanced at him without saying a word

As I walked into the classroom while yawning, I saw Huo Ran running towards me, swift and agile, clearly the kind of extraordinary person who could dislocate a shoulder in the wild

The teacher looked at him, and he looked at the teacher, both feeling somewhat bewildered

"I splashed water on my forehead and spent twenty minutes in the school infirmary," Xu Chuan said, "and I got a leave of absence."

"Learn a little." Xu Zhifan sighed

"What the hell!" Kou Chen shouted from behind, "What kind of speed is that, kicking someone in the rear!"

Of course, there is no kitchen knife

"You old man," Huo Ran said

Hu Yi's seat, he took a class off at noon due to a toothache. Huo Ran said, kicking Jiang Lei's chair.

Kou Chen gestured and said: "It looks like a kitchen knife, hidden behind the back"

"Come on," Huo Ran looked at him, "Can you still manage it!"

What is even more shocking is that Teacher Chen truly did not notice his tardiness. When class was over and he walked over, Kou Chen even pretended to stand up and asked her two questions.

"Considering that you are taking me camping, I will..." Before Kou Chen could finish his sentence, he was suddenly bumped from behind, "Damn!"

Huo Ran looked at the calm and composed Kou Chen, and he understood how his impressive demeanor was cultivated, so steady and effortlessly smooth.

Huo Ran remained silent, still staring at him

The teacher on the podium adjusted his glasses

"That day, behind the haunted building, I saw the woman while I was urinating," Kou Chen said. "What about seeing her?"

To speak frankly, Hu Yi indeed appears to be unwell, his complexion not looking good. Among these few individuals, Hu Yi is the most honest, and he has never skipped class without reason.

The afternoon classes are extremely difficult to endure

I don't quite understand, "Huo Ran said to Xu Zhi Fan, 'If you dare to kick me, I will definitely kill you on the spot, and still have a meal with you?'"

After Kou Chen swaggered away, Xu Zhifan turned back while walking to Huo Ran's side and asked, "What did he just say to you?"

When Hu Yi approached, he was taken aback and asked, "Aren't you attending class?"

"What are you picking it up for? Do you still want to return it to her?" Huo Ran asked

"... ... Damn, I didn't hear you say it," Jiang Lei said somewhat dejectedly, "Where has that kid gone?"

What is going on?" Jiang Lei turned around.

"Are we going to the Ghost Tower to eat grilled food?" Huo Ran asked, pausing for a moment before turning to look at Kou Chen, "Are you sure that the story about grilling sausages at the Ghost Tower isn't just you bragging?"

What is wrong with you? If Old Yuan wants to ask, you remember that you have a toothache that has led to a stomachache, and you are sleeping in the dormitory

Xu Zhifan was just about to speak with a smile when Wei Chaoren squeezed over, holding a pile of drinks: "Come on, come on, hurry up, let's sit at this table, Kou Chen is treating us to drinks"

He felt that if he stayed with Kou Chen for a while longer, he might be worn down to the point of losing his temper by his sincere and impressive bravado and his effortlessly fabricated nonsense

Huo Ran, with his back bristling with sweat like a whirlwind, ran out as well, quickly catching up to Kou Chen after just a few steps, and the two of them ran forward together in a frenzy

What are you doing?" Huo Ran stared at him.

Is anyone in our dormitory?" Huoran casually threw this remark as he swiftly passed by him

Who went for a walk

Oh. Huo Ran nodded slightly, turned around to glance at the classroom door, and discovered that Kou Chen had not yet entered.

"I almost believed it," Huo Ran said, feeling very displeased as he punched Jiang Lei on the shoulder. "That performance was all just a facade."

In the end, Kou Chen still followed Huo Ran back to the dormitory

cow

He is holding a coat in his hand," Kou Chen said, "Besides, what kind of eyesight do I have? I have seen many people come to school with knives before, I have long since trained myself to notice such things. Even if he hides it in his pants, I can still see it.

"What did you ask?" Jiang Lei turned his head slightly and pushed his chair against Huo Ran's desk.

How did he manage to take leave?" Huo Ran asked

He leaned against the wall in the corridor for a few seconds, then went downstairs

Isn't there sausage? Jiang Lei said

She suddenly turned her face to look at him

The moment Huo Ran pushed open the door, inexplicably, she still believed in Kou Chen's nonsense, and she quickly scanned the dormitory with caution

Xu Zhifan listened with great amusement

"She wants to roast it to eat," Xu Zhifan said, "How can we roast it in the dormitory"

When the class bell rang, Huo Ran was unable to take Hu Yi with him to the classroom.

Kou Chen immediately reached behind to touch his back upon seeing the plate, and looking at his greasy hands, he cursed again: "Damn it!"

Huo Ran expressed the same sentiment in his heart

Isn't she a rather petite girl, always looking down, with her hair tied in a ponytail?" Kou Chen asked

He suddenly stopped, hesitated for two seconds, and then walked over: "Has he been in the dormitory all this time?"

After the class bell rang, the teacher left the classroom, and Huo Ran suddenly took out his phone to send a message to Hu Yi

Huo Ran then saw that Kou Chen's back was covered in vegetable soup

"I will treat you to a meal later," Xu Zhifan sighed, "please stop nagging."

"So, did you agree or not?" Xu Zhifan asked with a smile

Huo Ran glanced ahead and saw several girls from Ke Hua looking at the dishes with their trays, while the girl with her head down was following closely beside them

Xu Zhifan leaned over the table

Then it was forcefully bounced away

Hmm," Teacher Chen nodded, "just once.

Sigh... Xu Zhifan let out a breath.

No, as soon as Hu Yiyi mentioned the sausage, he suddenly became lively and turned around, saying, "I know who that starving ghost is."

dog

He turned around, and behind him was the girl with her head down, holding a tray with a face full of fear and unease. Half of the soup and liquid in the tray was already gone

Jiang Lei paused for a moment and cleared his throat: "Report to the teacher, it is classmate Hu Yi, he has taken leave due to a stomachache"

"Has Kou Chen not come either?" Xu Zhifan asked from the side

"It's nothing," Kou Chen's voice came over, "I have to spend my allowance quickly, otherwise I won't even know how it disappeared."

Kou Chen glanced around to see that no one was nearby and lowered his voice: "He returned with something hidden in his clothes, it looks like a knife."

What?" Huo Ran was taken aback

Huo Ran could still manage to pay attention in class, while Xu Zhi Fan sat quite upright. However, from the way Huo Ran put on his glasses, he could tell that this person was preparing to sleep. In front of them, Jiang Lei was propping his chin on his hand and had already nodded off several times in front of the teacher.

You knife with a turtle's brain!

Yes, Hu Yidian nodded and said, "When I went over, they had already gone in, so I... picked this up and brought it back."

"One can still eat even if one does not return it," said Hu Yi

"You are welcome." As Kou Chen spoke, Hu Yi had already closed the dormitory door.

Are you going? If not, shall we go together..." Huo Ran turned his head suddenly

Xu Zhifan said, "How about I treat him instead? It wouldn't be appropriate to always have him pay."

Hmm? He suddenly looked up, stunned

Huo Ran no longer had the mood to say another word to him, and in an instant, she accelerated, shaking off Kou Chen and rushing into the teaching building ahead.

However, compared to expressing his admiration for Kou Chen, the actor, he is more concerned about Hu Yi: "Why not go back to the dormitory and check if Hu Yi is there?"

Who the hell wants to take a walk with you

Huo Ran sighed; although he had to take three burdens with him during the National Day holiday, he still began to eagerly anticipate the arrival of the holiday.

I have yet to settle the matter of you hitting me on the head," Kou Chen said, "You...

"I won't go," Xu Zhifan quickly declined, "Why would I want to suffer through that? During the National Day holiday, I plan to stay at home, eat well, sleep, wake up, and eat again. When I'm not eating or sleeping, I'll play games. My schedule is very well arranged."

"From now on, just sleep when you sleep!" Huo Ran slapped his arm and said, "Wake up when you wake up! Don't be clever and talk nonsense. I just mentioned that he has a toothache, and you went and messed up his stomach!"

"There has never been one." Xu Zhifan patted him on the back

I don't know, they haven't replied to my message. Huo Ran looked at his phone

I am fine, just going out for a stroll to get some fresh air," Hu Yi said

"Sit down," Huo Ran said, truly at a loss for words. Lowering his voice, he exclaimed, "You idiot, did you take sleeping pills and sleep like this! Just tell me, whose seat is the empty one next to you!"

"A ninth-rate performer, still part of the pretentious faction," Huo Ran said, "not a single word of truth comes out of his mouth, yet he talks about offending too many people and transferring schools, even hitting teachers... Just wait, maybe one day he will be playing the suona while landing on the moon."

"I have diarrhea," Huo Ran said

Kou Chen turned around and shouted in response as he rushed into the dormitory building: "Hu Yi is here"

Kou Chen walked out of the dormitory while yawning. He has always disliked history class; if he could skip it, he would. After sleeping through a class, he felt invigorated.

"A kitchen knife," he said, looking at him suddenly, "If you really want to hide it in your pants, I can see that too"

Kou Chen remained silent, his gaze passing over her and fixating on Ke Hua, who stood behind her with his arms crossed.

I have a headache," Hu Yi sighed, "I will call Old Yuan to request a leave of absence shortly.

"When I returned to school, I saw Li Jiaying over by the back gate..." Hu Yi said

"I still want to ask you, where have you been?" Huo Ran inquired

As Kou Chen held his head and looked up, Huo Ran had already darted to the classroom door and pushed it open with a flourish: "Report."

Teacher Chen used to teach their class and was generally quite kind, but he did not appreciate anyone arriving late to class. Anyone who was late would have their name noted, and after two instances, they would be punished by having to copy the text.

A bottle hit me and knocked me out

"I am amazed, this is impressive." Jiang Lei expressed his heartfelt admiration

How is it? Jiang Lei asked

Without waiting for Huo Ran to turn around, he had already taken off running ahead.

Just bring a loaf of bread, that's all. Huo Ran frowned and said, "Can one loaf of bread really fill you up?"

Jiang Lei suddenly woke up and, two seconds later, stood up calmly and composedly

Hu Yi did not attend class all afternoon. Before going to eat after the last class, Huo Ran sent a message to Hu Yi.

"After school, are you going back to the dormitory or staying a bit longer?" Kou Chen whispered as he left the dormitory, "He really brought a knife back, it's a kitchen knife, a wide one."

"Please bring me back a bottle of cola when you pass by the convenience store," Xu Zhifan said

Huo Ran felt a bit worried and couldn't help but glance back. Just then, Kou Chen slipped in from outside the door and quickly tiptoed to his seat to sit down.

You go to the classroom and tell Huo Ran and the others that I am sleeping, "Thank you." Hu Yi did not look back.

Huo Ran was shocked

"Huo Ran," Teacher Chen glanced at him, "What have you been doing?"

"Who is Li Jiaying?" Huo Ran asked

Are you out of your mind!" Huo Ran shouted, but the running footsteps did not stop.

Huo Ran hesitated for a moment and did not insist any longer

I would like to thank you on behalf of Hu Yi," Huo Ran said

Kou Chen's seat is indeed empty ... ? ... The teacher actually didn't notice! ? Hu Yi's seat by the wall was seen by the teacher!

"Why don't you rely on increasing your IQ to prolong our friendship?" Huo Ran sighed, "Where is Hu... Hu Yi?"

If this were an anime, one might still see the afterimages of the two of them running out

"Are you planning to skip class for the entire afternoon?" Huo Ran asked

Huo Ran frowned and said: "Let me take him camping, and also bring along his sister and her boyfriend, who is said to be her boyfriend of ten years. She wants to break up with him and hopes to use this opportunity to mend things..."

ghost

Teacher

I really want to go ask her, " Jiang Lei walked into the cafeteria, looking ahead and speaking softly, " Can't we eat in the dormitory? Aren't you afraid to go to the haunted building?"

Jiang Lei calmly and composedly sat down again, turned his head slightly, and asked in a low voice: "What is the situation"

When Teacher Chen turned around, he had already taken out the book, and he looked as if he had been half dead for quite some time.

The class bell has rung, not the preparatory bell!" Kou Chen said confidently while running, "If I don't start running, you would still be strolling!

Ah! Kou Chen turned around and took a glance, suddenly terrified, he bumped into him with his arm, his voice trembling, "That is... run, run, run, run!"
