Act Eight, Surprise, Spirit Cat, Unexpected Mystery of Origins

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

However, before Tchaikovsky's words had finished, the cat standing at the top of the giant shadow leaped down as if in response to his call, pouncing directly towards his face

Get after him!

That strange sound is still ringing

He just mentioned revenge... Could it be that Hei Ming Shan died on Mao Shan, and that is why he harbors hatred for this mountain

As the words fell, the four little swans and Tchaikovsky each held a badminton racket, exchanging a glance of generous sacrifice, and followed behind Chun Guo and Cang Kong Lin.

They seem to be a bit overly excited, don't they

Just as Chun Guo pouted in response, the gateway to the concert audience area finally opened

Chun Guo gazed at Cang Kong Lin's face, which was glistening with sweat under the setting sun, making it appear as if it were sparkling. Her heart raced wildly in her chest like a drunken rabbit. However, when Cang Kong Lin approached her and bluntly inquired about the whereabouts of that love letter, Chun Guo felt as if she had suddenly fallen from boiling water into an ice cave, and her heart instantly turned cold.

Chun Guo was taken aback, rubbed his eyes that were stung by the light, and focused his gaze outside, only to find the director of education standing there, accompanied by a junior worker, glaring at them with uncontainable anger

The four little swans were so frightened that they all jumped off the wall and hid behind Tchaikovsky

Upon reaching this point, Chun Guo could no longer bear to imagine further and sadly bit her lip

Isn't it a gift from Cang Kong Lin? But who else could it be besides him

Amidst the clamor of Tchaikovsky and the Four Little Swans, Cang Kong Lin did not answer He Qi Liang's question, nor did he turn to respond to Chun Guo's shocked and confused gaze.

With a crisp sound, the lock tongue finally sprang open completely. Cang Konglin gently pushed, and the door to the gymnasium creaked open a small crack, allowing the dim light of the flashlight to spill into the room, casting a narrow beam of light.

As expected, amidst the recent chaos, a gap had opened in the backpack on Tchaikovsky's back, and a string of red sausages had fallen out, swaying in the air

The Four Little Swans trembled and shouted behind Tchaikovsky

Chun Guo inhaled deeply through his nose, his face turning bright red, and then he turned his head to glare fiercely at Cang Kong Lin.

Hello, Chun Guo, it seems you have misunderstood. He Qi Liang continued to smile at Chun Guo, but his smile was as cold as the moonlight. I never said I would protect the Firefly Forest; I merely stated that I wanted to investigate whether there were possibilities for things to develop in other directions. If there are... then I must prepare in advance to prevent any unforeseen circumstances.

Brush

A sudden jolt

"This is what I did." Before Chun Guo could finish speaking, Cang Kong Lin turned his head and shot Chun Guo a warning glance, then turned back to look sincerely at the director of instruction, "Therefore, if you decide to impose a penalty, please be lenient with the others."

So many cats! The voice of "South Fat" suddenly trembled and became disordered.

She pulled out her phone and saw a message from Cang Kong Lin

Recalling the words once spoken by Heiqi Liang, Chun Guo's forehead furrowed in confusion and anger

The design drawings... how could you have turned the design drawings into this! It seems that none of you will learn your lesson without facing some punishment

Behind Chun Guo, the Four Little Swans whispered nervously

As for ghosts, I think you have simply watched too many horror movies!

Jasmine? Haha, do you still cherish that bouquet of flowers I gave you when you enjoyed wandering through the night market? You still remember it fondly!

Drip ... ... drip. ... ... ... drip ...

Boom

What a big fool! If it weren't for the fact that he gave me the MJ concert tickets, I would definitely teach him a lesson! ... But this guy is looking quite handsome today, wearing a white T-shirt, light blue jeans, white casual shoes, and topped off with a white baseball cap ... ? ... By the way, what is he wearing on his hand ... ? It looks like a fishbone ... ...... By the way, what is he wearing on his hand ... ? It looks like a fishbone ... ...

Cang Konglin smiled mysteriously and winked at Chun Guo, as if to show off, waving the ticket in her hand in front of Chun Guo.

Of course! As long as our four little swans take action, there is nothing that cannot be accomplished

Senior Heiqi Liang, I have another question..." Chun Guo looked at Heiqi Liang, her voice trembling slightly, "I heard my father say that Uncle Heiming Mountain had changed his mind before he was about to complete the planning design for Maoshan, deciding not to make the design public. However, after his passing, the planning design suddenly emerged... The strangest part is the planning for the trees on the mountaintop, which, logically, he should not have completed at all, yet it also appeared out of nowhere. I heard my father say that Uncle Heiming Mountain had changed his mind before he was about to complete the planning design for Maoshan, deciding not to make the design public. However, after his passing, the planning design suddenly emerged... The strangest part is the planning for the trees on the mountaintop, which, logically, he should not have completed at all, yet it also appeared out of nowhere. Moreover, that day I saw the document titled 'New Sports Field Planning Design Proposal of Firefly Middle School' in your notebook... Could all of this be you..."

The Hundred-Eyed Monster!

Old man, boss! Do we still need to go to the gym?

Chun Guo nodded in agreement, while Cang Kong Lin raised the flashlight he had brought with him, shining it into the gymnasium, and then slowly walked inside.

The dense layers of leaves on the mountaintop, stirred by the night breeze, emitted a mysterious rustling sound, startling the birds perched on the treetops

I sincerely apologize, but it seems that I can only proceed this far with our agreement

"Since we are here, we certainly cannot return empty-handed." Chun Guo took a deep breath, her gaze shining with determination, "There are already enough obstacles preventing us from protecting the Firefly Forest, and there is nothing to fear from multiple monsters!"

"What’s wrong? You seem to be in a bad mood!" With a keen insight into Chun Guo's emotions, Cang Kong Lin handed a cola to Chun Guo and asked with concern

Tchaikovsky and the Four Little Swans exchanged glances, and suddenly he forced himself to steady his mind, gathered his strength, and shouted!

Really... is that you, Senior He Qiliang! Senior He Qiliang, why are you here? Could it be that... the head of the teaching department notified you to come?

Hmm... if you insist on calling this a love letter, I won't oppose it!" Cang Kong Lin mischievously winked at Chun Guo, reached out to open the envelope, and pulled out something to present to Chun Guo, "Cherry sister, this is a ticket to the MJ farewell LIVE!

Hmph— I thought it was something significant! It turns out to be a love letter written to him by a girl! Is this really just a love letter from a precious girl to him? Does he think he is the charming talent Tang Baihu?

The sound of rustling or clattering

Hehe, things are quite simple, aren't they?" Cang Konglin chuckled dismissively, "If I am not mistaken, everything that happened tonight was orchestrated by you. Whether it was letting me know about the design blueprints here or obtaining the key to the old gymnasium without my knowledge... you lured me here and then invited the director to catch me in a trap. The plan is indeed very perfect.

Anger—Anger—

Chun Guo and Cang Kong Lin were taken aback and quickly walked to the door by the wall, looking towards the old gymnasium. They discovered that under the dim moonlight, a huge black shadow was slowly moving towards the direction of the old gymnasium on the pale concrete path.

Cherry sister, have you forgotten about the matter of the 'Wish Fruit'?

The moon has once again plunged back into the thick layers of clouds, and the surrounding light has turned eerie and dim

Boss, are you not afraid

Chun Guo was lost in thought, slightly bowing her head alone, when she suddenly felt a tickle in her nose and couldn't help but let out a big sneeze

Whoosh

"The Spring Fruit Baby, the blueprint was just torn apart when those cats were jumping around, we should leave here quickly!" Tsai Ke-fu finally voiced the words he had been holding back for a long time, receiving the strong agreement of the Four Little Swans

Heiqi Liang glanced at everyone in the gym and smiled slightly, his gaze ultimately settling on Chun Guo and Cang Kong Lin

On the wall beside the school playground, one by one, dark heads emerged like enormous mushrooms, appearing from left to right, murmuring softly to each other

"Destroy the design blueprint?" Cang Kong Lin raised one corner of his mouth and smiled coldly, "Senior Heiqi Liang, the other backup of the design blueprint should be in your hands now, right?"

Oh? I... I just said... which hero dares to venture into the gym so late! Hahaha!" Tsai Ke-fu's eyes twinkled as he laughed heartily with the director of education.

What? Minghe Middle School? Your Highness the Prince? Fan Yin?!

Chun Guo stared blankly at the still beautiful smile of Cang Kong Lin under the tree, but for some reason, she suddenly felt that the smile seemed unfamiliar to her

Every pair of eyes gleams blood-red!

"It's nothing..." Chun Guo lowered her eyes and turned her face to the side, responding softly, "I am just worried about the Firefly Forest..."

At this moment, behind the wall, Chun Guo's complexion had turned darker than coal! Her slender palms were tightly clenched into fists, becoming increasingly tighter and rising higher!

Classmate Chun Guo! The head teacher is so angry at this moment that he can hardly speak clearly, his furious voice causing Chun Guo to shiver involuntarily. "I have warned you time and again not to interfere in the school's affairs! Yet you still refuse to listen, and now you have caused such a great disaster! And you, classmate Cang Kong Lin, do not think that just because your grades are good, you can act arrogantly! As for you all—" The head teacher trembles as he looks at Cai Ke Fu and the Four Little Swans. "You usually do not put in the effort in your studies, only relying on brute force to play a few games! Every time there is trouble, you are sure to be involved! No matter what, this time I will definitely not forgive you! You all—"

The playground echoed with the cheers of the classmates for Cang Konglin, who raised his arms and exchanged friendly high-fives with them, before turning and running towards Chun Guo

Cang Kong Lin, you brought me here just to watch these few fools perform crosstalk

Wheeze! Wheeze! Wheeze!

Cang Konglin seemed to realize that he had said something he shouldn't have, and he turned his eyes slightly in a somewhat depressed manner. He turned his head and saw Chun Guo staring wide-eyed in shock, gazing ahead in silence for a long time, and he asked with some concern.

Damn it! How can this idol lose to that detestable pretty boy?! The Four Little Swans! Where are our weapons?!

However, Boss, it's so late, why would the director of education suddenly come here? It's simply like waiting for a hare by the stump!" The Four Little Swans, still shaken, murmured their inquiry, causing Tsai Ke-fu and Chun Guo's gazes to tremble in sudden awakening.

Oh! I understand now! It must be that Fan Yin is pretending to be the 'Magical Boy' Cang Kong Lin, deliberately trying to get close to Chun Guo!

The leading cat had already leaped into the air, its sharp claws poised to strike at Chun Guo's cheek, leaving Chun Guo frozen in place, his legs stiff with fear.

I understand now

Oh my! It's a giant python

At that moment, the beam of the flashlight in Chun Guo's hand swept across the makeshift workbench. In the confined space of that instant, a massive shadow suddenly stood up from behind the workbench. The dark face slowly turned towards the crowd outside the window, and countless eerie green dots "leapt" to life, resembling pairs of glowing green eyes!

In the vast sky, she opened her mouth and instinctively shouted that person's name

Have you heard? That old gymnasium is often said to be haunted! It is rumored that a student once committed suicide inside, and the ghost frequently wanders in the old gymnasium

Cherry sister, you follow behind me. If you notice anything unusual, you should run out by yourself first. I will find a way to retrieve the design drawings.

Damn it, this is MJ's final farewell concert! I was so disappointed for not being able to buy a ticket, but now that my idol is right in front of me, I can't see his face at all! This feeling is truly despairing! Chun Guo anxiously stretched her neck, but no matter what, she couldn't see MJ performing passionately on stage. Frustrated, she plopped back down in her seat and complained angrily, "Can't these guys just sit down and watch properly? Why do they all have to stand on their chairs?"

Chun Guo walked slightly behind Cang Kong Lin, gazing at his strong and elegantly contoured back, a large doubt swelling in Chun Guo's heart like an inflated balloon.

This emotion persisted until Chun Guo's birthday; however, since it was on the day of the birthday, Chun Guo still had not recovered from the state of melancholy.

Look over there

Chun Guo felt a sudden heaviness in her heart, and her mind was in a state of confusion, making her feel dizzy

She deliberately turned to the side and jumped next to Cang Kong Lin, avoiding his outstretched arms. Her gaze seemed to be evading something, and as soon as it made contact with Cang Kong Lin's surprised eyes, she hurriedly glanced away, shaking vigorously.

Cang Konglin nodded slightly, but the expression on her face grew increasingly serious

Boss, are we here to save the Firefly Forest or to play a game of courage? The sounds inside are really terrifying!

I have been ready for a long time, boss

Why are your legs shaking so violently

That shadow looks somewhat strange! It does not resemble a person; it is slithering along the ground at a leisurely pace, occasionally emitting peculiar hissing sounds

Chun Guo and Cang Kong Lin exchanged a surprised glance—just as the Four Little Swans had said, the strange sound not only did not disappear, but instead grew louder, as if it were right beside them. But... where exactly is it? Could it be a "ghost"!

Tchaikovsky hurriedly took off his backpack and threw it aimlessly into the distance

Chun Guo was taken aback, reaching out to probe, her fingers brushed against the fragments of the shirt, picking up a small amount of dark, wet stickiness

Of course! Cang Kong Lin Zhao Chun Guo blinked and said, "Tomorrow evening at 6:30, we will meet at Jingming Square! Let's not miss each other!"

Not bad, right! This is the birthday gift I prepared for you! Cang Kong Lin smiled proudly as she winked at Chun Guo, extending one arm to rest on a branch behind Chun Guo

Although it was less than one hundred meters of distance, Cang Konglin and Chun Guo took a full twenty minutes to reach their seats

Upon hearing Cang Konglin's words, Haru Tsubaki, Caikov and the Four Little Swans were shocked and widened their eyes.

Since you have made this decision, I will certainly protect you. Be careful, I will go ahead.

What could that be? Could it be... the ghost of that student! That's how Sadako walks!

It is you few again... Why have you come here in the dead of night, what exactly do you intend to do?!

I did not know that classmate Chun Guo had such great charm

"Shh—" Tchaikovsky and the Four Little Swans argued louder and louder. Chun Guo turned her head, glaring at them with puffed cheeks, and raised a finger to signal silence. "Stop arguing. If you're scared, you can go back first"

Those cats stared at the food in the backpack with shining eyes, repeatedly jumping up and using their paws to grab it, making Cai Kefu scream in agony.

He simply smiled faintly and turned to gaze out the window, observing the mountain peak that revealed a subtle outline in the brightening moonlight, quietly sighing to himself.

A new crescent moon quietly casts a faint pale shadow through the clouds gently parted by the wind, illuminating the firefly school.

The sound of dry gnawing occasionally arises, indeed gnawing at something!

The thunderous sound system, the swirling stage lights, the passionately singing performers, the band members drenched in sweat... and the dense crowd of onlookers, each person waving their white arms above their heads, as if the noisy waves on the surface of the sea...

Are you a few of you planning to rebel

Tchaikovsky and the Four Little Swans were discussing in astonishment beside them

Ding ding

As the school bell rang, Chun Guo was packing her backpack in preparation to go home when her phone, which was placed in the drawer of her desk, suddenly rang.

Indeed, indeed! You useless bunch! Did the boss call us here just to chat? By the way, boss, when are we going camping? I have already bought a big bag of snacks as you instructed! The last voice nodded in agreement repeatedly

Spring Fruit was momentarily startled, feeling as if her entire body had been frozen like a block of ice, rendered immobile in place.

It is blood

"Dong Gao" was so frightened that he wanted to scream on the spot, but fortunately, Cai Kefo timely reached out to cover his mouth

After speaking, the director of education turned around and left in a huff. The old school janitor, seeing that the matter had concluded, hurriedly followed behind the director of education and departed.

Damn... how could the director of education be here?" Chun Guo was going crazy in her heart, turning to exchange a grave look with Cang Kong Lin.

Everything has become clear... Why did Senior He Qiliang do all of this... It turns out he is actually the child of Uncle He Mingshan

By the way, as Zhengdang Heiqi Liang coldly smiled and turned to leave, he suddenly turned back, his gaze filled with sarcasm as he looked at Cang Kong Lin, "Since my story has already unveiled all the mysteries, in the interest of fairness, shouldn't you also reveal your true self first?"

sigh

Chun Guo looked up at the vast sky, seeking his opinion

Didi! Didi!

Finally, they arrived at the door of the old gymnasium. Cang Konglin turned to the six people behind him and signaled them to step back. He then took out a key, which he had somehow obtained, from his pocket and inserted it into the keyhole, turning it slowly, almost choking on his own breath.

Do not move yet! Cang Konglin, disregarding the pain in her own body, grabbed all the food from Chun Guo and rushed to the door, throwing it out with all her might

What?! Heiqi Liang is the illegitimate son of Heiming Mountain?!

Suddenly, the flashlight of the instructor fell onto a torn and tattered piece of translucent sulfuric acid paper. With a pale face, he hurried into the gym, picked up a fragment of the damaged paper, and his hand trembled as if it had been electrocuted.

A sudden jolt

Although it had long been suspected that Cang Konglin's identity might have deeper implications, when Chun Guo heard Heiqi Liang's words, she still felt as if something glass-like within her had fallen heavily, shattering into pieces

However, the fortunate aspect is that their seats are located right in the center of the audience area. The unfortunate aspect is that there are simply too many people attending the concert. Therefore, when the concert begins, countless figures converge to form an impenetrable wall, and an overwhelming wave of cheers coalesces into an unstoppable sound. Additionally, countless arms are raised high, rhythmically waving. Only through the gaps between the arms can Chun Guo and Cang Kong Lin catch a glimpse of the stage. The fervent atmosphere on site is almost enough to melt the entire square

Just as Cang Konglin's finger pressed against the door of the gym, preparing to push it open, a strange sound of breathing suddenly emerged from the dark air, interspersed with the habitual throat sounds of large felines amidst the intermittent hissing.

Chun Guo angrily pulled the white envelope out of Cang Kong Lin's desk drawer, then put on his backpack and walked gloomily towards the playground

Ah, regarding this... because the school has decided to build a new stadium, which will destroy the forested area on the mountaintop, I am currently researching to see if there are any possibilities for the situation to develop in another direction...

Chun Guo forcefully slapped Cang Kong Lin's hand, as if sulking, and mustered the courage to walk towards the gym. Cang Kong Lin smiled and jogged a few steps to catch up with Chun Guo

Senior Heiqi Liang... why on earth! Why are you doing this? Hearing Heiqi Liang's words, Chun Guo could no longer contain her anger, and she tightly clenched her fists as she loudly questioned, "You are clearly the president of the Biology Club, why are you not helping us protect the Firefly Forest, but instead repeatedly creating obstacles for us? When we first met in the flower room, didn't you say that we would protect the Firefly Forest together?"

The scene fell silent for two seconds, as Chun Guo widened her eyes, and Ge Ge gritted her teeth while staring at a pile of snacks at her feet, glaring fiercely at Cai Ke Fu, who was hurriedly waving his hands in the distance

Each pair of cat claws is sharp and reflective

Cang Konglin's words were like a pair of scissors, suddenly cutting the string of excitement in Chun Guo's heart, causing her to quiet down instantly, her heart resonating with the words that Cang Konglin had just spoken

In the vast sky, after a considerable amount of time, Chun Guo emitted a slightly trembling voice, "You big fool... why do you have to bear all the blame alone?"

"It is not a love letter... what else could it be?" Chun Guo glanced at the envelope with a sideways look, murmuring somewhat uncertainly.

Hmm! I hope so! Hahaha! By the way, Senior He Qiliang, I just saw in your notebook that it says 'New Stadium Construction Plan'...

Indeed, they all share the surname Hei, and there are not many people with the surname Hei!

Everyone instinctively took two steps back

Preventing problems before they arise... Are you saying that you supported the construction of the stadium from the very beginning, even at the cost of destroying the Firefly Forest?! Upon hearing Heiqi Liang's words, Chun Guo's body trembled slightly. "Then... those toxic fruits were also given to the students at school by you? Why... do you hate the Firefly Forest so much? You would even resort to such despicable means to destroy it! Who exactly are you?!"

Thinking of this, Chun Guo lowered her head to glance into the cold drawer of the sky, and discovered a thick white envelope quietly lying there, causing her emotions to plummet to the depths in an instant

Achoo! Achoo!

It happened so quickly that there was no time to figure out what was going on. Suddenly, someone rushed out from the side and tightly hugged Chun Guo, using their broad back to shield against the attack from the group of cats.

Ahahaha! Of course not like that! Cang Konglin laughed with a cold sweat around his head, "In a few days, the construction of the new sports arena will begin. I heard that the abandoned old sports room next to the playground has been renovated and turned into a temporary command room for building the new sports stadium. It seems that the design drawings have already been laid out inside. I invited Cai Kefu and others to come over, hoping that everyone can destroy that design drawing together." In a few days, the construction of the new sports arena will begin. I heard that the abandoned old sports room next to the playground has been renovated and turned into a temporary command room for building the new sports stadium. It seems that the design drawings have already been laid out inside. I invited Cai Kefu and others to come over, hoping that everyone can destroy that design drawing together. In this way, at least for a period of time, the construction of the new sports stadium cannot proceed, and then we can use this time to figure out how to prevent the situation from developing. However...

However... why did you do this? I have already heard from my father that Uncle Heimingshan died because of a mountain accident. It is not the fault of Maoshan or the Firefly Forest! It was his own carelessness! Chunguo was furious at this point.

Should I ask him now?... A question that has been lingering in my mind for a long time... But why exactly? I really want to know the true answer, yet I am also afraid of it... True or false... I feel like I can no longer distinguish between them...

Wow—this is truly amazing! This is indeed a first-class seat!

"Great Love Master?" Cang Konglin took the envelope in confusion and blinked, then suddenly burst into laughter, "Hahaha! Cherry, do you think this is a love letter?"

Wow!

Indeed... the last time the wild fruits on the mountain caused injuries to the students, the school decided to destroy the forest to build a new stadium. If they knew that the design plans were ruined by those stray cats, then they...

What does it mean?

What's going on with "Cang Kong Rin is not Cang Kong Rin, but Fan Yin?"

At this moment, the two of them are sitting on the branches of a large tree next to the square, overlooking the stage of the MJ concert from a high vantage point!

Hehehe! Cherry sister, were you setting off fireworks for your birthday just now? It was really loud! I don't know when, but suddenly, Sora Aoi came over with two cans of Coke and saw Haruka rubbing her nose, which was as red as Ronald McDonald's, and couldn't help but laugh.

Cang Konglin extended one hand to protect Chun Guo, while raising the flashlight with the other hand to shine it towards the "shadow". The orange-yellow light instantly pierced through the dark space, allowing everyone to see the true face of the "shadow" behind the workbench.

As soon as the last sound fell, a fist the size of a sandbag pounded on the three heads like a whack-a-mole game in an amusement park, followed by a roar that tore through the silence of the night.

Yes. Indeed, it was I who consulted the director. However, Classmate Cang Kong Lin, I am quite curious, how did you guess that I would be here

But what did you take away? You took away the lives of all the creatures in Mount Mao and the Firefly Forest! Spring Fruit said, recalling the beautiful Firefly Forest that would never appear again, tears falling from her eyes like raindrops.

"Special seat?" Chun Guo looked at him in confusion, not knowing what Cang Kong Lin was really thinking.

"So this ticket... is it for me?" Chun Guo asked in disbelief, filled with surprise

You--

The gymnasium at this moment resembles a village after a storm, filled with a deathly silence. Everyone silently gazes at the ground, their emotions still immersed in the terror brought by the group of cats and the panic caused by the sudden appearance of the director of education

Meow!

Director of Education! It is not like this; in fact, the drawing is a cat

"Dong Gao! Are you out of your mind?! How dare you say that Chun Guo Bao Bei lacks charm?!"

"Chun Guo Baby, what about you, what are your thoughts?" Cai Ke Fu turned around cautiously, but instead looked at Chun Guo beside him

Chun Guo wanted to argue further, but was stopped by Cang Kong Lin, who extended a hand to block him.

Tchaikovsky turned his head and glared at them, puffing out his chest in a show of bravado despite the circumstances

Uncertain of how much time had passed, when Chang Guo felt Cang Konglin had already settled beside her, she heard the sound of Cang Konglin's slightly labored breathing in her ear

Hehe, Classmate Chun Guo, your observation and analytical skills seem to be even sharper than I had imagined. " He Qi Liang replied with a faint smile, "You are not wrong; I indeed dislike the Firefly Forest. Like you, I have a story with this forest, but our fates are completely opposite... This Firefly Forest, this Mao Mountain, has taken the life of my closest person. As revenge, I intend to destroy this forest and kill this mountain. What is wrong with that? If it were you, you would certainly do the same.

Senior He Qi Liang, are you not afraid that I will reveal the secret you just mentioned

Chun Guo's heart suddenly tightened, and for some reason, at this moment, she did not want to know the true voice of Cang Kong Lin, which greatly overshadowed her curiosity to understand the truth

"Hehe, you are right. Indeed, there are people waiting here for an opportunity, but it is not the director of education; rather, it is someone else. The director of education merely came here upon receiving a notification from that person," Cang Kong Lin said with a smile, glancing towards the door. "Senior Heiqi Liang, please come out."

Damn it! That bastard actually shone a flashlight at my boss! Does he want to die?" Tsai Ke-fu covered his eyes with his hand and shouted angrily towards the door, and the sounds that followed from outside made everyone in the gym gasp in shock

I am sorry, Chun Guo baby! I did not mean to! I truly did not mean to!

Meow!

Is that so? Since it is, there is nothing we can do... However, it is about time, so follow me!" Cang Kong Lin glanced at the sky, winked at Chun Guo, and was the first to jump down from the branch, turning around to extend her arms towards Chun Guo

I, of course, am not afraid

Indeed, little pretty boy... Ah, no, Classmate Cang Kong Lin. Although your actions are quite chivalrous, we still feel a sense of guilt within us. Cai Ke Fu mumbled, his voice now carrying significantly less of the acrid tone directed at Cang Kong Lin, replaced instead by more feelings of guilt and gratitude

The beam of the flashlight swept back and forth in the air, yet it could only cast a small orange-yellow circle on the ground. The "Design Blueprint Destruction Team of Seven" was immersed in the thick darkness, advancing slowly.

However... is Sorakumo Rin really that slow? He said he was going to buy cola, so why hasn't he come back yet? Also, this morning, there was a large bouquet of gardenias on my desk again... And this bouquet is even more exquisite than usual, it feels as if it's celebrating my birthday... Is it a gift from Sorakumo Rin?

What?! It is actually the conspiracy of Heiqi Liang! Hearing Cang Konglin's words, Cai Ke Fu exclaimed in surprise, "Hey, Cang Konglin, since you know, why did you still call us here?"

At that time, in order to protect the Firefly Forest, there was no other way but to do this. Heiqi Liang seemed to resonate with Cang Kong Lin's thoughts as he concluded her words, smiling as he explained, "However, Cang Kong Lin, you actually only guessed half of it. In fact, the school was quite troubled when it decided to use this old gymnasium, because for some unknown reason, wild cats from the mountain have been frequently gathering here. The school asked the biology club to solve this problem, and I was at a loss for what to do when I suddenly thought of you several free laborers, so I 'invited' you to come and help! You all did a great job just now! As a reward, those cats have already helped you destroy the design plans, hehe, so we are all square now, right, Cang Kong Lin?"

Classmate Cang Konglin... The head of the teaching department rubbed his aching temples and sighed deeply, "I have always believed that you are a student who makes both teachers and classmates proud. Why did you have to do such a thing? If it were just a game of courage, perhaps I could have turned a blind eye. However, you have destroyed the design blueprints for the new gymnasium, which will once again delay the construction schedule. Do you think you can bear the losses this will cause the school? I will report this matter truthfully to the principal, and ultimately, the school will decide your punishment. Before that, you need not come to school; reflect on your actions at home."

In an instant, the makeshift command room was thrown into chaos as papers and documents flew everywhere, disturbed by the cats darting around.

Hmph, you troublemakers, you have not stopped causing chaos for the school recently. The construction plan for the new stadium could have proceeded smoothly, but because of you, it has been inexplicably delayed for a period of time!" The director of education angrily pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose and raised his flashlight to survey the gymnasium, "This is the temporary control room for the construction of the new stadium. What are you all doing here so late... What?! What is that?!

The "Wish Fruit" plan of Chunguoguo not only failed to provide complete safety for the "Firefly Forest," but instead offered an opportunity for the suppressed "New Stadium Construction Plan" to gain approval from the city government, ... leaving Chunguoguo in a state of negativity for an entire week ...

How, how could there be so many cats?! Tchaikovsky's nerves seemed to relax a little as he pushed aside the four little swans and began to wildly wave the badminton racket in his hand, shouting at the numerous cat shadows, "Come on! If you have the guts, come over! Trying to scare your brother Tchaikovsky with your tricks! Have you eaten some courage and audacity?!"

A faint scent reminiscent of rust wafts through the air

"Shut up! Even Lian Chunguobao didn't say he was afraid, what are you big boys afraid of!"

Swish

Indeed! The mysterious Cang Kong Lin smiled gently, lightly waving his hand in front of Chun Guo's eyes, "However... you must first close your eyes"

The backpack burst open in mid-air, and cookies, chocolates, dried fruits, shredded pork, and red sausages... various snacks floated through the air in slow motion, like celestial maidens scattering flowers, and then—

"Do you think I would be afraid?" A hint of disdainful amusement flashed in Heiqi Liang's eyes. "First, you have no evidence. Second, even if your evidence is conclusive, what difference does it make? The ones truly wanting to destroy the Firefly Forest to build a new stadium are not me. If the administration of Firefly High School were not so eager to construct a new stadium for immediate profit, and if the students of Firefly High School had taken better care of that forest, leading to the soil being polluted, then whatever I do would be futile, wouldn't it? Even if you stop me, can you stop the administration blinded by profit? Even if you stop me, can you stop the entire school of students indifferent to environmental awareness? Can you stop all of humanity from greedily infringing upon nature? None of this is something even the gods can accomplish, is it?"

Tchaikovsky still sought to explore other possibilities, but Cang Konglin had already extended his hand in front of Chun Guo, his gaze sparkling with a smile of approval

Cai, Ke, Fu

Chun Guo was momentarily taken aback and slightly tilted her head to look back, realizing that Cang Kong Lin's arm was resting on the tree, perfectly aligning with a branch, forming a "tree sofa" backrest that safely protected her. However, this made Chun Guo feel as if she were sitting in Cang Kong Lin's embrace, causing her heart to beat wildly in her chest like the frantic rhythm of drums on stage

Wow! You are cats, not mice! Why are you stealing my food!

Upon hearing Heiqi Liang's words, Cang Kong Lin was momentarily taken aback.

"Chun Guo, you will never understand!" Heiqi Liang's voice became heavy and tinged with anger, "None of you will understand. You will not understand that your father, in order to complete the planning and design of this mountain, locked himself in the studio every day, or ran up the mountain, completely ignoring his wife and children, without fulfilling even the slightest responsibility of a father! Not only that, in the end, he actually ended his own life on that mountain... You will not understand that your father, in order to complete the planning and design of this mountain, locked himself in the studio every day, or ran up the mountain, completely ignoring his wife and children, without fulfilling even the slightest responsibility of a father! Not only that, in the end, he actually ended his own life on that mountain... I hate Mao Mountain! I hate Firefly Forest! It took my father away!"

As soon as Chun Guo's voice fell, suddenly, a blinding orange light shot in from outside the door, illuminating several people!

I knew you would do this. Alright, I will take you to the 'VIP seat'!

Thus, after having dinner, Chun Guo hurriedly left home and arrived at Jingming Square, disregarding the objections of his father and mother

By the way, Cang Kong Lin, I have always forgotten to tell you, thank you for the gardenia you gave me

However, this apology is already too late

Heiqi Liang's words left the seven-member group in the sports room speechless

Cang Konglin let out a gentle sigh, without offering any explanation or clarification, and simply took Chun Guo's hand and walked out of the square

Subsequently, that enormous shadow collapsed in an instant! Countless cats were meowing, rushing down from the workbench and the bookshelf that held numerous documents and blueprints, pouncing towards several people

"You are not wrong," Heiqi Liang candidly admitted, "It was I who sent the planning design drawings of my father locked in the cabinet to the city planning bureau, and the planning scheme for the forest on the mountain top was not created by my father at all; rather, it was completed by someone I hired and published in my father's name. As my father's only son, it is an easy task to prove that this is my father's work"

Although the group of cats has dispersed, new uninvited guests have arrived

Zeng Zeng

Hehe, what does it matter? The struggle between humanity and nature has always been endless, hasn't it? In response to Chun Guo's question, Hei Qi Liang merely smiled faintly, "Moreover, Chun Guo, do you think too highly of yourself? You talk about protecting the Firefly Forest, but in reality, you are just being a bit clever. The Firefly Forest has been damaged; have you truly done anything for it? You are no different from those who merely shout about protecting the ecology... You talk about protecting the Firefly Forest, but in reality, you are just being a bit clever. The Firefly Forest has been damaged; have you truly done anything for it? You are no different from those who merely shout about protecting the ecology... So, do not think too highly of yourself."

So, is the senior also trying to find ways to protect that forest? That's great! Truly worthy of the Biology Club! It seems I am no longer fighting alone!

The sound of footsteps, not loud yet particularly muffled, echoed in the gymnasium, resembling the sound of enormous padded paws striking the ground... But what is most chilling is...

Cherry sister, I am currently participating in football team training on the playground. I left something in the drawer and forgot to take it. Could you please bring it to the sports field after school? Thank you!

Alright, you may open your eyes now

Cherry sister, how are you?

Cang Kong Lin! Is this a time for jokes?! Hearing Cang Kong Lin's carefree laughter only made Chun Guo angrier. She glared at Cang Kong Lin with red-rimmed eyes, tears surging fiercely at the bottom of her eyes. "Then why didn't you let me say just now that the design drawings weren't ruined by you, but actually by the cat group?"

Haha, that being said, congratulations to you, your action against the construction of the new stadium finally has a strong ally.

However, what answered her was a sound that cut through the air

Chun Guo shook her eyelashes in confusion, and the scene unfolding before her almost made her scream

Wow! Wow! Why do these guys always have it in for me!" Cang Konglin waved his feathered racket, striking in all directions, but the group of cats did not disperse; instead, they gathered closer together. More and more cats were provoked by him, and countless claws left deep and shallow scratches on Cai Kefo's body.

Throughout this week, the sky above Chun Guo's head has been overcast with dark clouds every day, and the once fiery gaze has transformed into the look of one who is about to perish

At this point, Cang Konglin turned his head and looked at the Tchaikovsky and the Four Little Swans still hanging on the wall, and smiled awkwardly.

Splash

Hoo—hiss—hoo—hiss—hoo lulu lulu—

What?! Tickets for the MJ concert?! How did you manage to get tickets for the MJ concert? I heard from Cai Ke Fu that he queued up at six in the morning to buy tickets, but in the end, he still couldn't get any!

The group of cats quickly surged forward, surrounding the food and competing for it for a while, before each grabbed a piece and ran off!

Cang Kong Lin! Your things!

Seeing this newsletter, Chun Guo sighed discontentedly, but there was clearly a joyful smile on his face.

The first to be attacked, Cai Kefo, has evidently become the "primary target of the cat group," with countless cat paws scratching at his calves, and several agile cats leaping onto him by stepping on their companions' heads, clawing at him wildly

Although I am not quite sure why you went to such great lengths to conceal your true identity and come to Yinghuo Middle School, I know that you even lied to your friends, telling them that you transferred from Jingshan Middle School, just to avoid being easily discovered. Hehe, but the game is over now. You are actually Fan Yin, the 'Prince' of Minghe Middle School's second grade.

Hahaha! Upon hearing Cang Kong Lin's words, Hei Qi Liang raised his head and laughed heartily, his once elegant and composed image now shrouded in a dark cloud of gloom. "You are not wrong; I do have a backup blueprint, and I will hand it over to the principal tomorrow"

Upon hearing Cang Konglin's words, Chun Guo was taken aback and calmed down.

Hi, Cherry sister, did you receive my message

"It is a cat!" Dong Gao was the first to exclaim.

"It cannot be a large python," Cang Kong gazed at the figure and gently shook his head, "Given the environment surrounding the school, such a large python could not possibly survive."

Hehe, there's no need to feel guilty. The reason I am doing this is that I have no other choice!" Cang Kong Lin raised the corner of his mouth with some heaviness, then revealed a brilliant smile that seemed indifferent, "Think about it, among the seven of us, my grades are the best, so even if I make a mistake, the teachers will definitely consider a lighter punishment! If it were you all... heh heh..."

Can ... ... but ... ...

Cang Konglin quickly discovered the crux of the problem amidst the chaos: "They are stealing the food from your backpack!"

Chun Guo looked at everything before him in disbelief, his eyes shining like the bright moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival

Hmph... Here! Your love letter! Great romantic!" Chun Guo forcefully threw the white envelope in her hand into Cang Kong Lin's arms, complaining in a disgruntled tone.

It is so magnificent! Even the countless green leaves around Chun Guo are stirred by the gentle breeze, excitedly rustling as if they are applauding

Knock knock knock

Every cat's mouth shows sharp teeth!

Cang Konglin saw Chun Guo's eyes turn red with anger, resembling an irate little rabbit, and couldn't help but chuckle!

I, I, I say—do we really still want to go in

Spring suddenly felt that his brain was as clear as the sky after the wind blew away the clouds.

Tchaikovsky and the four little swans could no longer bear it and screamed, while five big boys huddled closely together, their upper and lower teeth chattering like autumn leaves in the wind

On that evening, she stood alone in Jingming Square, her face devoid of any excitement that one would expect on a birthday. She looked up at the gray-black night sky and sighed melancholically, as the scene from that afternoon when school ended replayed in her mind.

Oh my, how did it get so messy here? The old janitor also walked into the gym, and after looking around, he shouted in frustration.

"Hey, pretty boy..." Upon hearing Cang Kong Lin's words, Cai Ke Fu and the Four Little Swans all flashed with grateful light.

"Indeed, it is you." Before the words of Hei Qi Liang had faded, a sharp light flashed in the eyes of Cang Kong Lin, as if he could see through everything. "Senior Hei Qi Liang, it seems I can reveal the final answer now. The planner of Maoshan, Mr. Hei Ming Shan, has an only son, and this only son should be you, right"

Click, click, click, click

She mustered her courage to open her mouth, but then slowly closed it again

However, as Cang Kong Lin's voice fell, a figure walked to the door of the gymnasium from the side. At that moment, the wind parted the clouds, and the moonlight gently spilled down. In the dim light, the figure at the door slowly turned to face the crowd, revealing a refined and elegant face that was etched in the astonished eyes of those present.

Dah ! ''

As he walked to the edge of the playground, Chun Guo spotted a vigorous figure running back and forth on the lush green grass. In the setting sun, his fair cheeks were tinged with a healthy flush, and his eyes, reminiscent of the keen gaze of an eagle soaring in the vast sky, were bright and sharp. The soccer ball at his feet resembled a little dog with ears perked up, following his lead as he dashed past one classmate after another. Once inside, he lifted his foot and struck the ball with force—goal!

"Hehe, there is no need to worry too much about the new stadium; I have already thought of a solution! We will go and resolve this issue shortly." Seeing Chun Guo's anxious demeanor, Cang Kong Lin gently smiled and ruffled Chun Guo's hair, "However, before we solve the problem, let's take a moment to enjoy this concert together! It took me quite some effort to get these two tickets!"

Almost simultaneously, the group of cats was attracted by the large pile of exposed food and surged like a tide from the direction of Tsai Ke-fu towards Chun Guo

There is a saying, "Where there is a will, there is a way," have you forgotten? Saturday is Cherry Sister's birthday, and "attending a concert with Cang Kong Lin on your birthday" is one of your wishes. If there is no concert, that is another matter. Since I am here, I will certainly do everything in my power to obtain the concert tickets!

In an instant, the few people in the gymnasium seemed to deflate like a balloon that had been punctured.

You four good-for-nothings! Did this idol invite you here to chat?!

Brothers! No matter what, we must get the job done tonight! Don't embarrass the boss!

No, no! Boss! Spare me!

Cang Konglin smiled as she firmly grasped Chun Guo's wrist, leading the blushing Chun Guo through the crowd towards her seat

Chun Guo, as if enchanted by a magician, obediently closed her eyes. Then, she felt a warm and delicate hand tightly grasping her, leading her in a certain direction. The enthusiastic cheers of the crowd roared like crashing waves, constantly echoing in her ears. Suddenly, she was halted by the hand that was pulling her, and then she felt her body tightly encircled by two strong arms. A force lifted her high, and she instinctively reached out to touch a thick tree trunk.

"Tchaikovsky! What did you just say I am?!" the director of education furiously asked, directing the beam of his flashlight at Tchaikovsky.

Chun Guo felt as if she were enveloped in a warm embrace of sunlight, and in an instant, her heart, which had been racing with fear just a second ago, suddenly calmed down, as if this place were the safest harbor!

Just as Chun Guo was eager to express his opinion, Cai Ke Fu on the wall suddenly pointed towards the direction of the old gymnasium and let out a low, pressured exclamation

At this moment, behind a tall and lush phoenix tree not far from the wall, a figure stood there, silently watching the backs of several people walking towards the old gymnasium, a cold smile appearing on their face

Haha, one could say it this way as well

Shut up! Do you want to embarrass this idol?

This fool is always forgetful! Moreover, when exactly did he sign up for the football team? I can't believe he can play football! He has never mentioned it before!

What! Heiqiliang?!

Ah... um. Chun Guo was momentarily taken aback, then came to her senses and nodded, stammering as she replied, "I was just... thinking about the Firefly Forest, and it seems I no longer have the mood to attend the concert..."

The spring fruits fell all over me in a chaotic manner

Chun Guo cautiously followed behind Cang Kong Lin, entering the gymnasium and surveying the surroundings. The narrow gymnasium was small enough to see the end at a glance, yet not even the shadow of a mouse could be seen.

Caution

Just then, as the director was about to make the final judgment on the "Rescue Firefly Forest Seven-member Team," Cang Kong Lin suddenly stepped forward and stood in front of everyone. "Director, this incident was instigated by me, encouraging everyone to join me. Because everyone said there were ghosts in the old gym, I suggested we come here to test our courage. Just now, upon hearing a strange sound, I became frightened and accidentally damaged the design drawings, which has nothing to do with the others."
