Quadruple split.

Chapter 2850 So he turned and walked towards the door.

"Don't hold a grudge against your teachers just because you're a picky eater!"

A few minutes later, Xiao Yidong was still patiently persuading Xiao Motan, saying incessantly, "Even if you hold a grudge, you can at least say something like 'the teacher is a big bad guy' in private, instead of going and blowing up the toilet in the teachers' dormitory!"

"Saying 'the teacher is a big bad guy'?"

Xiao Motan repeated the sentence with a strange expression, then turned to look at Xiao Yidong with disdain, asking sarcastically, "How could you say something so naive that it makes me laugh? Are you a child?"

Little Yidong: "...I'm just a child!!"

Don't worry about the details.

Xiao Motan waved her hand, then her eyes lit up when she noticed the last two lights in the teachers' building had gone out. She crouched low and walked quickly in the dark, waving to Xiao Yidong behind her without turning her head, saying, "Hurry up, keep up. It's time for you to get revenge."

"You..."

Although she didn't want to go at all, Yi Dong sighed because she was worried about letting little Mo Tan go and blow up the toilet alone. She followed him with a helpless expression and said as she walked, "Seriously, let's go back. You've been spending too much time in the library lately. Or you could just read children's books that are suitable for our age."

Xiao Motan frowned and asked in confusion, "What do you mean by 'children's books suitable for our age'? Dongzi, don't you think what you just said was a bit too mature? Being a little adult won't make you more handsome."

Xiao Yidong: "First of all, my name isn't Dongzi... Also, don't you think it sounds really awkward when you say that?"

I don't think so.

Xiao Motan shook her head slightly and said seriously, "I just think you're too precocious."

"Who's precocious?"

Little Yidong was almost going crazy, gritting her teeth as she said, "Who is this person who tells me all those strange stories every day after coming back from the library? Have you ever seen a child grow up listening to 'The Romance of the Eastern Zhou Kingdoms,' 'Das Kapital,' and 'The Thick Black Theory'?"

Xiao Motan looked completely innocent: "I don't know, I'm still just a child."

Little Yidong roared, "So now you remember you're a child?!"

"Shh, keep your voice down, we're going inside."

Xiao Motan smeared her hand on Xiao Yidong's face, who was deliberately raising her voice to attract the teachers' attention, and said in a serious tone, "In short, since I am a child, what I read is children's literature. In other words, until I successfully ruin a girl and make her an adult, all the books I read are children's literature."

Little Yidong: "...If there is a next life, I don't ask to be born of a mother and raised by a father, I only ask that I don't have to know you, this guy who must have something wrong with his head."

"You're talking way too maturely, way too unlike a child. But you could actually be a woman in your next life."

Xiao Motan shrugged, tiptoeing up the steps as she said without turning her head, "In that case, I should be able to give you some face, like kneeling down and licking your shoes or something."

Little Yidong: "...Then I'm really honored. I hope you can achieve this ridiculously stupid dream in the parallel world."

"My dream is not for you to become a woman."

Xiao Motan shook her head, then straightened her chest and raised her head, her face seemingly radiating holy light: "I only have one dream, and that is to make those two old hags have to walk more than 500 meters to the teaching building to have diarrhea tomorrow night!"

"What a cheap and dirty dream."

"Shut up and keep up."

Can I call the police?

"Guess who's better at pretending to be innocent between the two of us? If you really call the police, I won't care if you end up in a juvenile detention center living with a perverted pastor every day."

"...I just feel like what you're talking about isn't a proper place."

"Are you afraid?"

"……Ugh."

……

Youth flies by, and young boys emerge like shuttles.
Fifteen minutes later

Women's restroom, 2nd floor of teachers' dormitory, Sangshan Orphanage, City B.
Stop.

Xiao Yidong looked at Xiao Motan, who was busy squatting in front of the toilet, with a weak, fearful and trembling expression, and earnestly advised, "It's not too late to turn back now."

"What are you mumbling about?"

Xiao Motan turned and glared at Xiao Yidong, then waved her hand and said, "Come on, let me give you a sense of accomplishment. You'll take the next step; it's a crucial one."

"No, I don't want to do that."

"You're already a perverted little boy who sneaks into the women's restroom at night, so don't worry about such details."

"I am not a perverted little boy."

"Alright, alright, then as a kind, pure, lively, cute, innocent and handsome little boy, you should come over and lend a hand."

"The kind of little boy you're talking about would never blow up a women's restroom in the middle of the night."

"If anything happens, I'll take the blame alone. Are you coming or not?"

"……Come."

And so, thinking that he might only have this one chance in his life to blow up the toilet, Xiao Yidong, whose childlike nature was gradually taking over, finally wavered. As the saying goes, people always feel inexplicable joy when doing bad things, so although he was somewhat unwilling at first, after slowly getting the hang of it, Xiao Yidong began to enjoy it.

He even started asking Xiao Motan questions on his own initiative—

How do I do this?

"Carefully place it into the water tank and pull out the lead wire I prepared."

"Oh, is that so?"

"Yes, and then you see that old phone? There's a plastic case that I taped up underneath, and you insert the wire into it."

"Okay! So what's the working principle behind your time bomb?"

"What bomb? This is a timed prank."

"Okay, okay, so what's the principle behind it?"

"I'll tell you when I get back. First, close the water tank lid, then take out that old battery..."

"An old battery? Ah, I see. Okay, so what?"

"..."

"Tell me, and then what? What am I supposed to do next?"

"..."

"How exactly do you plan to blow this thing up? Can I sneak a peek tomorrow? I..."

"No."

"what?"

I said, no.

Suddenly, Xiao Motan darted to the toilet tank behind the toilet, gently lifted the lid, and took out the simple 'prank' that was already 80% complete. She deftly pulled out the wire and said through gritted teeth, "This is too weird!"

"Uh... okay."

Xiao Yidong looked at the toilet, which had been restored to a safe state, with some regret, and sighed silently: "So you're a good kid now, Mo Tan?"

"I am Mo Tan, there is no such thing as a good kid or a bad kid."

Xiao Motan shook her head, then looked at Xiao Yidong with a face full of guilt, apologizing like a child who had made a mistake (which was indeed the case): "I'm sorry, Yidong, I must have been crazy just now."

Xiao Yidong waved her hand generously and laughed, "It's okay, you're always crazy, I'm used to it."

"..."

Completely unable to refute, Xiao Motan touched the tip of her nose and said helplessly, "Alright, anyway, I'm really sorry, let's hurry up and go to the first floor."

"Uh, well."

However, Xiao Yidong, whose playful nature had been aroused, didn't take a step immediately. Instead, she glanced hesitantly at the toilet next to her and asked softly, "Shouldn't we... really try blowing it up?"

Xiao Motan: "..." "Alright, alright, forget I said anything, forget I said anything."

Feeling that she must also be somewhat ill, Xiao Yidong immediately pushed Mo Tan out of the cubicle, her face flushed with shame, and said, "Let's hurry back to the dormitory and go to sleep."

"No."

In the corridor, Xiao Motan shook her head and said with a firm look in her eyes, "We can't just go back to the dormitory like this."

"Huh?"

Little Yidong's eyes lit up: "Then we're going back to the toilet to keep blowing things up..."

"I need to go to the first-floor restroom to fix the water pipes first."

Xiao Motan said it decisively, then turned to look at Xiao Yidong and asked curiously, "What did you just say?"

Little Yidong: "...It's nothing."

"Okay, then you can go back to your dorm first. Just leave these things in the tool room in the dorm building. I broke the lock before, so you can open it with a little force."

Xiao Motan handed the toolbox in her hand to Xiao Yidong and whispered, "I'll go downstairs first to fix the water pipes. I haven't had a chance to do it during the day."

Little Yidong, clutching his toolbox, asked blankly, "You can fix water pipes?"

"will not."

Xiao Motan shook her head and said helplessly, "The water pipe wasn't broken to begin with, it's just... I did something to it before, and it's fine after a little fix. Sigh, I'm really exasperated."

Little Yidong tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said, "I'd better stay with you. What if the teacher catches us..."

"Will not."

Xiao Motan shook her head and shrugged, saying, "There are still two hours until the night patrol. I can finish in half an hour at most, and it's actually more convenient for me to go alone. You go back first."

Seeing that Xiao Motan was so determined, Xiao Yidong didn't say anything more, but just nodded and said, "Alright, then be a little more careful."

"rest assured."

Xiao Motan jogged ahead, saying as she went, "Let's go downstairs first, then you go back to your dorm, and I'll go fix the water pipes. I'll be back soon."

"it is good."

Little Yidong nodded vigorously, and then—

【? 】

He felt as if he had passed through a layer of water, and while his whole body was ice cold, he felt a suffocating, bone-chilling cold.

"Waaah!"

Stumbling down the last step, Xiao Yidong was caught by Xiao Motan in a flash. She then squatted on the ground, almost curled up in a ball, and shivered violently.

"Idon!"

The first to notice something was wrong, Xiao Motan immediately crouched down, staring anxiously at her friend who was sweating profusely: "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

"cold."

Xiao Yidong, whose lips were already turning blue, swallowed hard and gripped Xiao Motan's arm tightly: "I'm... freezing right now."

"Cold? You have a fever?!"

Xiao Motan was stunned for a moment, then immediately reached out to touch Xiao Yidong's forehead, only to find strangely that the latter's forehead was ice cold, and even had a layer of fine sweat.

"I don't think... I have a fever."

Xiao Yidong took a deep breath, and then, with Xiao Motan's help, she stood up unsteadily and said in a trembling voice, "Let's not fix the water pipes for now, let's go back to the dormitory, let's go back quickly."

"Okay, I'll help you."

Xiao Motan nodded without hesitation, and then helped Yi Dong, whose legs were clearly weak, walk towards the door.

Soon, the two left the teachers' dormitory building and came to a small square that looked somewhat unreal, bathed in a frost-like silvery-white moonlight.

Some of it is...unrealistic...

Xiao Yidong clutched her chest, then before Xiao Motan could speak, she shook her head vigorously and exhaled a puff of white breath: "It's okay, let's go, let's go back quickly."

What did you see?

As Xiao Motan helped her best friend walk towards the dormitory, she asked in a low voice, "Is something wrong?"

Xiao Yidong shook her head vigorously and said to her best friend, who seemed completely unaffected and looked perfectly normal, "No, I'm just not feeling well. I might have caught a bit of a cold. I should feel better after a night's sleep..."

However, he didn't continue speaking. He just stared wide-eyed at the direction of the dormitory building not far away, and his already pale face turned deathly white.

It was a being surrounded by a cold, eerie white mist, slender in stature, bare-chested, and bald, or rather... something that looked somewhat human but was hard to identify.

After all, in most cases, the 'bald' in 'bald head' generally refers to body hair, such as hair, beard, etc., at most adding eyebrows and eyelashes. As for 'bald' where there are no eyes, nose, mouth, or ears, it is a little bit strange.

Moreover, Xiao Yidong could clearly sense that the strange-looking guy had already noticed him before he even noticed him.

Fortunately, it seems to only notice 'itself'.

"...Ink sandalwood."

Xiao Yidong swallowed hard, turned to her friend who was looking at her with a worried expression, and said, "You go back first."

Xiao Motan was stunned for a moment, then immediately shook her head and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Aren't you feeling unwell? Hurry up and come back with me to rest."

"I……"

Yi Dong pursed his lips, then gave a dry laugh and said, "Alright, I'll go back by myself first. You go and fix the water pipes in the teachers' dormitory building."

What are you saying?

"I just feel that if you don't fix it soon, what if your personality changes drastically later and you start thinking about blowing up the toilet?"

"Uh……"

"But if it's fixed, no matter how unhappy you are, you probably won't have another chance to fix it anytime soon, so you'd better hurry up."

"then you……"

"I'm fine. I just had a bit of an upset stomach, but it's almost gone now. I can go back by myself. You can go back to the dorm after you've fixed it."

"you sure?"

"nonsense."

Little Idon grinned and waved his hand vigorously: "Go back and fix the pipes, Morio."

"alright."

Xiao Motan sighed and said helplessly, "Then you go back first, I'll be there soon."

After saying that, he turned and ran towards the teachers' dormitory building, quickly climbing the steps and going inside.

Then--

"You...you're looking for me, right?"

Little Yidong looked at the bald man in the distance and asked in a very soft voice.

The other person, standing at a distance theoretically inaudible to a normal person, slowly nodded.

"it is good."

Xiao Yidong nodded, took one last look at the teachers' dormitory building, and then took a deep breath—

They walked straight toward the gate of Sangshan Orphanage.
