Dark Light Chaser.

Chapter 48 Heavy Rain
Ai Liang returned to her seat and let out a long sigh of relief.

The constant stream of confessions is truly torturous.

Ai Liang is now much like a limited-time NPC in some games. Almost every now and then, someone will call him out to complete the limited-time task of confessing his love at graduation.

Almost none of these girls confessed with the determination to win them over. They were all thinking that they wouldn't have any regrets, that it didn't cost any money, so they might as well give it a try and see if they succeeded.

It would be best if the confession succeeded, but there's no loss if it fails. After all, everyone else has failed in their confessions, so it's not shameful for me to be one of them.

In this situation, many girls who only had a slight liking for Ai Liang also took the opportunity to step forward and boldly express their feelings for her, causing what was originally a very serious confession to completely change its meaning in the end.

Some of them would simply run up to Ai Liang and say "I like you," and then disappear without a trace.

What should have been a graduation season has been turned into a variety show.

Not to mention Ai Liang herself, even Yue Qihua and the others were driven to the brink of nervous breakdown by Ai Liang's constant comings and goings.

If we're talking about who's in the worst mood right now, it's not Ai Liang herself, but Yang Xingyue.

After so many people have confessed their love to her, now anyone who approaches Ai Liang, regardless of their feelings or intentions, will seem cheap.

Although Yang Xingyue didn't plan to launch an attack right now, it's hard for anyone to be happy when a group of people confess their feelings to the person they like.

She's stopped doing her homework and is now just lying on the table, staring resentfully at the door, waiting to see who the next woman to come looking for Ai Liang will be.

"Such enviable popularity, Xiao Ai," Ma Yu exclaimed in amazement.

Ai Liang didn't say anything, but picked up the novel and prepared to leave.

"Where are you going?" Ma Yu called out from behind.

"Find a quiet place."

Ai Liang didn't turn her head, gave a casual reply, and then disappeared from everyone's sight.

The atmosphere in Nevada is quite serious, so even though graduation is just around the corner, no one is throwing books or exam papers downstairs. Whether this will happen after the exams are over is another matter.

At least for now, no one dares to do that, because the head of the teaching department is glaring like a donkey's testicles, patrolling back and forth downstairs with a wooden stick in his hand.

Even though no one threw books away, the commotion continued.

Each class was in complete chaos, and Ai Liang found that her class had the best discipline along the way.

Of course, this is inseparable from Yue Qihua.

Yue Qihua is very protective of her own, and Yang Xingyue is busy doing practice problems, so there's no chance of any trouble in the class. After all, she's both the class monitor and the school bully, and no one in the class dares to challenge her.

Ai Liang left the teaching building and came to the small garden in the front yard. When she walked in, she found that there were already people there.

Inside the pavilion, a boy is confessing his love to a girl.

Just as the two were shyly holding hands, Ai Liang suddenly walked over and plopped down on the bench, silently starting to read a novel.

With this oversized third wheel around, the young couple, who had only been holding hands for less than two seconds, awkwardly separated and hurriedly left.

A rumble of thunder echoed in the sky, foreshadowing an impending downpour.

The surrounding light dimmed again, and the colored lights in the flower bed lit up.

However, the dim light did not affect Ai Liang's vision at all; he still leaned against the pillar with his head down, reading the novel.

Time passed second by second, and after an unknown amount of time, a figure appeared in front of Ai Liang.

"So you really are here."

It is Yue Qihua.

"Have you checked the exam venue?" Yue Qihua wasn't in a hurry to leave and sat down next to Ai Liang.

"I've seen it. I took the exam at my own school." Ai Liang said, turning the page casually.

"We were all pretty lucky this time, we were all assigned to the same school," Yue Qihua said, looking at the gloomy sky.

She looked at Ai Liang, who was engrossed in her novel, and hesitated for a moment before saying, "The matter concerning that psychopathic killer is over."

Ai Liang kept his head down, and Yue Qihua couldn't see the expression on his face from her angle.

"That person has been caught?"

"No, but Uncle Yang said that this matter is over. The rumor that the assassin was going to harm my grandfather was just spread by other people."

Yue Qihua shook her head.

After all, Lao Yue is a genius with an IQ close to 150, so it's clear that she didn't completely believe Yang Xingguo's statement.

But the removal of security personnel forced her to believe that the matter was resolved, because Yang Xingguo would not joke with their lives.

"Are you worried that the assassin will target your family again because of this?" Ai Liang had raised her head at some point.

He wanted to pat Yue Qihua on the head to comfort her, but then he gave up on the idea because he knew there were many people around at the school.

"No, I just feel like there's something going on at home that they're keeping from me and Xingyue."

Yue Qihua's voice was somewhat low.

I kept it from you for your own good. Can you accept that your grandfather is actually the godfather of Nevada?

Although Ai Liang was aware of Yue Qihua's family situation, she couldn't say it directly.

"Don't overthink it. It's for your own good that I don't let you know some things," Ai Liang said, closing the book.

"I know I'm still young, and it's normal that there are some things I don't want to know. I'm just feeling a little down." Yue Qihua nudged Ai Liang with her elbow. "The homeroom teacher is going to have a class meeting next period, so hurry back to the classroom."

Yue Qihua's personality is not as sentimental as Yang Xingyue's. Relatively speaking, she is much more rational. If it were Yang Xingyue, that girl might not even have realized that something was being kept from her at home.

Just as the two were about to return to the classroom, the dark clouds that had been gathering in the sky for hours finally unleashed their fury.

Large raindrops fell from the sky to the ground, relentlessly pounding against the leaves and making a crackling sound.

At first, it was just a drop or two, but within a few breaths, the rain became enormous, like a string of beaded curtains falling from the sky.

The two were thus trapped inside the small pavilion.

There's quite a distance between the garden and the teaching building, and with the rain so heavy, even sprinting at full speed wouldn't prevent getting soaked. Besides, the garden paths are so winding and twisting that you can't run at all.

Ai Liang glanced at Yue Qihua. If it were just him alone, he could simply use his telekinesis to shield himself.

But now that there's another person, he can't use telekinesis in front of Yue Qihua; at most, he can use telekinesis to secretly protect the novel.

He sighed and prepared to sprint back to the teaching building.

Yue Qihua looked at the torrential rain outside the pavilion, her expression somewhat hesitant.

Ai Liang looked back and immediately understood the reason for her hesitation.

Yue Qihua was wearing a school uniform T-shirt, which was just a thin layer of fabric. If it got wet, the outline of certain things would probably become faintly visible.

"Wear it."

Ai Liang took off her school uniform jacket and handed it over along with the novel.

"Ah."

Yue Qihua blushed and gave a soft "hmm," clearly knowing that Ai Liang had noticed her concerns.

Yue Qihua put on her coat and stuffed the novel inside, and the two of them ran wildly from the pavilion toward the teaching building.
