You are my wife, don't doubt it!

Bah, what master’s mission? It’s the organization’s mission.

Maybe Zhao Xiaomei had already secretly joined the Freemasonry...

However, the result was not like this.

Maybe I feel too good about myself, Xiao Yao thought self-deprecatingly.

But Zhao Xiaomei would rather take the risk of being exposed and secretly kiss Xiao Yao.

Zhao Xiaomei claimed that was her first kiss.

For reasons Xiao Yao couldn't explain, he just knew and believed that this was true.

Maybe it was a man's sixth sense, or maybe Xiao Yao just wanted to believe it was true.

Just like he was willing to believe that Zhao Xiaomei really liked him.

...He still doesn't know what Zhao Xiaomei likes about him, but it's hard for him not to take this feeling seriously.

although.

However, although.

She, Shen Jie, and Xiao Pingguo almost died at her hands.

If it weren't for Lucia's explosion, perhaps everyone would have died there.

This grudge cannot be forgotten.

Salome...witch, Anti-Christ, justice will be served!

but.

Instead of worrying about whether you should love her or hate her.

What Xiao Yao cared more about was how she "came back to life".

And why the organization wanted to release her.

In these short few months, Xiao Yao has experienced so much.

With this limited knowledge, he knew that if one was killed while going deep into the shadow world, he would become a vegetable in the real world (the White Knight said so, but there seemed to be no other cases besides Zhao Xiaomei? Are there?).

If your shadow is killed by others in your own hall, you will become a child with Down syndrome and dementia (Teacher Yao), or fall into a dazed state and be influenced negatively by others (Teacher Song).

Of course, this is not absolute.

And there are a little more exceptions.

For example, take our most beloved teacher Yao. Thank God, his recovery speed is truly gratifying.

For example, the living classmate Zhao Xiaomei in front of us was killed by classmate Lucia in public during the filming time, and then turned into a vegetable according to the setting.

And now she is being naughty again and jumps out from between the rocks like this again.

And then, the organization released her, silently and quietly.

Of course, Xiao Yao had already complained about this in his heart before.

In conclusion, is the White Knight's statement really the truth? Is it the whole truth?

The White Knight is lying? And why?

If the White Knight is not lying, then the situation here is complicated.

Xiao Yao always felt that Shen Jie's conjecture about "brain-controlled robots", which was criticized by Yu Luying as "watching too much "Science Fiction Emperor", was completely possible.

Although the level of technology in 2004 was probably not enough to achieve this - even in 2034 it might not be possible, but who says this is a materialistic world?

I remember that when I was negotiating the terms with Mr. Karlstedt, I had clearly stated that I wanted to meet Zhao Xiaomei.

The other party agreed readily and said confidently, "Sure, sure."

Then, perhaps because I did not agree to join the club, the visit was postponed again and again.

Who could have imagined that we would meet again on this campus?

Does this mean that Karl Schederling has fulfilled his promise?

Xiao Yao felt unhappy about being stood up.

Let's say whatever.

If the "Mingye Watcher" really used some kind of brain control or mind control technology to take advantage of Zhao Xiaomei.

Even if Zhao Xiaomei was indeed guilty of a heinous crime, and even if the ultimate goal of the organization was truly legitimate, it would be difficult for Xiao Yao to agree with or even forgive such behavior.

Because this goes against what Yu Bo has always advocated, "respect for free will."

Xiao Yao thought that this was a red line, and this was the only point that he absolutely could not compromise on.

The boy woke up from his deep thoughts and returned to his current external environment. He heard two girls talking about the "Top Ten Campus Singers" competition.

It turns out you can have a good chat even without me, Xiao Yao thought.

"That campus top ten singer competition," Xiao Yao interrupted, "I still wanted to join in the fun, but Xiaopingguo wouldn't let me."

"Wow, you're awake." Shen Jie said, "You want to participate in the campus singing competition, why doesn't she let you?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Yu Luying.

"You haven't been to our school's auditorium yet," Yu Luying explained, "The distance between the front of the stage and the nearest first row of audience seats is more than five meters, right? I stood under the stage and listened to him sing, right?"

"You can stand backstage, can't you?" Shen Jie gave them some advice.

"No, you'll know if you get a chance to go to the auditorium and take a look," said Yu Luying.

"It's such a small school, but the auditorium is really big." Shen Jie said casually, but it aroused Yu Luying and Xiao Yao's love for the school, causing a little dissatisfaction in them.

"There is another way," Xiao Yao suggested, "I heard that this year's Top Ten Singers Competition allows groups to participate."

"Ah?" Shen Jie said, "Then why call it the Top Ten Campus Singers? Let's call it the Avenue of Stars instead."

"Who wants to join you in a group?" Yu Luying immediately objected, "What's your relationship with me?"

"Friends, good friends," Xiao Yao deliberately put his hand on Yu Luying's shoulder, but the latter shook it off: "The public identity is a couple, it's a good match."

"Shen Jie, are you going to do anything about it?" Yu Luying complained, "He can still touch me in front of you, and he wants to sing on stage with me as a couple?"

"How dare I care about him? I'm just a little maid now, right, master?" Shen Jie smiled and snuggled into Xiao Yao's arms.

"I can still manage it. I am still democratic." Xiao Yao tightly held one of Shen Jie's shoulders.

Yu Luying pursed her lips and looked like she was upset.

"Hiss—it hurts!" Shen Jie screamed, "You pressed on my wound!"

"Serves you right," Yu Luying gloated, "Okay, it's almost time, let's go back to our classrooms and find our mothers."

"Hey, actually, I also want to participate in the campus top ten singers competition," Shen Jie suddenly suggested: "Silly girl, how about the three of us join together?"

"What?"

"what?"

Chapter 360 You Are My Pursuer

2023-10-24

Xiao Yao believes in a saying that goes "There must be a road when the car reaches the mountain, and there must be a Toyota on the road..."

Oh no, there is no second half.

To put it another negative way, many times this person lacks foresight and foresight, is prone to procrastination, and rarely makes thorough plans for things in advance.

As the male protagonist of a novel, this is obviously a big shortcoming and even a flaw.

For example, the physical education class this afternoon.

He clearly knew that he had physical education class on Friday afternoon.

In the morning, Lao Lin rearranged the seats for the whole class.

When they saw Xiao Yao and Yu Luying were arranged to sit at the same table, all the boys in the class (except Brother Long and his friends) booed loudly in front of Lao Lin.

Xiao Yao remained calm and collected, like a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water. Anyway, the students will be divided into science and arts classes in the second half of the semester, so he doesn't care.

After class, Wang Yang went to find Lao Lin and said to him, "I like so-and-so more. Can you let her sit at the same table with me?" Lao Lin scolded him.

This matter soon spread throughout the class, and Xiao Yao heard it from Daiyu.

Anyway, I brought this up because I wanted to say that after they became deskmates, the risk of Xiao Yao and Yu Luying falling out in class was greatly reduced.

Therefore, physical education class becomes one of the biggest remaining troubles.

Readers who are attending high school in other cities may not know that physical education classes in Shanghai are separated for boys and girls. Two classes are together, with the boys' team at one end of the playground and the girls' team at the other end.

The two of them could be together during their free time, and that level of gossip didn't matter anymore - but the initial formation training stage and lap running stage were simply impossible for Xiao Yao and Yu Luying.

Even if, as Shen Jie said, this is a small school and the playground is also a small playground, it is not something that can be challenged at the "five meters" level.

I mentioned earlier that Xiao Yao lacked foresight. That is to say, although he knew that he had a physical education class on Friday afternoon, he did not finalize his plan until ten minutes before the class.

"Sprained your ankle?" Teacher Gong, who was teaching physical education to boys, frowned as he looked at the tall and mighty boy in front of him. The boy was limping towards him with poor acting skills, a grin on his face as if he had exerted too much effort - next to him stood a cold-faced beautiful girl, supporting him.

Teacher Gong has seen this routine before, but a girl is supporting him...? Why is it a girl?!

This girl's last name seems to be Yu? She seems to be the top student in her grade...

"Yeah, I sprained my ankle." Xiao Yao said with a bitter face.

"Tell me," Teacher Gong sneered, "How did you sprain your ankle?"

"Oh, don't mention it," Xiao Yao said vividly, "Before I went to bed last night, I wanted to catch my cat and throw it into the soap room, but that dog thing - that cat thing, was so smart. It and I jumped up and down. Have you seen Tom and Jerry? I was like Tom and it was like Jerry..."

"Alright, alright, alright," Teacher Gong was impatient, not wanting to listen to Xiao Yao's slick storytelling any more: "Go sit down!"

"Ah, okay! Thank you, Mr. Gong!" Xiao Yao nodded and bowed, preparing to turn around and leave.

"I've told you so many times," Teacher Gong said weakly, "Male students, don't call me Old Gong! - What are you looking at? The bell has rung, hurry up and line up! It's been a summer vacation, huh? You don't even know how to line up? Three people in a row, three people in a row..."

When Teacher Gong said "go sit on the side", of course, he meant to ask Xiao Yao to sit on the lawn beside the boys' team and listen to the class together. After all, physical education class is not just about doing exercise. Sports-related knowledge is also an important part of the class, and this knowledge is indeed different for men and women. Unexpectedly, the boy, supported by the cold-faced girl, limped all the way - no, only the boy limped, across the entire playground, and slowly walked towards the other side of the girls' team.

Teacher Gong: “…”

Like Teacher Gong, all the boys turned their heads and followed the little mandarin ducks with their eyes, moving 180 degrees.

Then he made a disdainful sound of "Yu~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~".

"Beep! Beep!" Teacher Gong turned his gaze back and suppressed "Yu~~~" with a loud whistle: "What are you looking at! Stand still, stand still! - Stand at attention! Look left and right! Look forward! Look right! At ease! Turn left!"

"One, two!" Everyone turned left while making weak sounds.

Just as the boys were being yelled at by their teacher Gong, Yu Luying had already helped Xiao Yao to the lawn next to the girls' line, threw him down, and quickly returned to the line with her head down.

There were also whispers and winks among the girls. Yu Luying's deskmate, former classmate Zhou Yao, turned her head away and stared at Xiao Yao coldly, or rather, glared at him.

The female physical education teacher in red sportswear also blew the whistle twice and performed the usual movements of looking forward, backward, left and right, and turning.

After the training of lining up was completed, the female teacher began her speech.

Xiao Yao pretended to be bored, suppressed the pounding heart in his chest, and looked at another girl sitting three or four meters in front of him.

The girl had a pretty face and a medium build. She was wearing a relatively conservative summer sports school uniform and small white sneakers. Because she was sitting on the lawn, a large part of her white cotton socks was visible from between the pink school uniform trousers and the uppers of her sneakers.

At this moment, she was looking down at the homework book on her lap, biting her pen, and she didn't move a single stroke until the female physical education teacher finished her lecture.

Xiao Yao looked at her socks and thought of something... On the bus to Zhouzhuang? The girl sat next to him, took his hand and pressed it on her ankle.

Time flies by so fast, Xiao Yao sighed secretly.

Now that the female teacher has finished her lecture, the next step is to run laps.

Xiao Yao subconsciously stood up, patted the grass on his butt, and instinctively prepared to move in the direction of Yu Luying.

Yu Luying walked out of the team and whispered something to the female teacher.

The female teacher nodded, and Yu Luying walked to the triangular position only four or five meters away from Xiao Yao and Zhao Xiaomei, jumped up, sat on the parallel bars with her legs together, and looked into the distance with a melancholy expression.

Xiao Yao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that this is the only way for now. Otherwise, it would be really embarrassing for a lame person like me to run behind a group of girls.

Maybe we'll be caught by Old Gong and made to run laps in line?

Xiao Yao thought so and looked in the direction of the boys' team.
