Volume 2. Game Update in Progress
I walked all the way to the end of the third floor.
Our school really wasn’t some kind of aristocratic school.
In fact, given Liu Yunyan’s family background, she could have easily attended a private school of aristocratic level.
But perhaps it was the Liu family’s tradition, most of their children attended public schools.
However, even so, not many children of the Liu family turned out well, so that family tradition was basically meaningless.
As I thought about these things, I pushed open the door, sidestepped a passerby, and came to the urinal.
Liu family, oh Liu family...
Even though this kind of family wasn’t the absolute top in the country, it could definitely rank within the top hundred.
This was in our country.
If it were another country, I probably would never have met Liu Yunyan.
A young lady like her still wanting to attend a public school?
Wouldn’t robbers just squat by the school gates every day?
My hand reached for my pants, but suddenly paused.
"Why... does something feel a bit off?"
Instinctively, I looked down at the urinal in front of me, then turned to glance at the three male classmates standing side by side next to me.
I subconsciously lowered my head to look, and the three of them, following my gaze, also subconsciously looked down at one guy’s... faucet.
"Ah!!"
Suddenly, that classmate reacted, instinctively using his hands to cover himself, but... the water wasn’t turned off!
'Splash splash splash...'
Watching the male classmate, who had peed all over his own hand, stand there dumbfounded, the time in the restroom seemed to freeze.
All the male classmates were staring at me.
I remained calm.
Yes, really very calm.
I reached out and gently... patted the shoulder of the classmate next to me.
"Don’t be afraid, just wash it off. It’s really not something dirty. It all comes from inside the body, right? You should know, the grains we eat are all grown with this stuff. Grains are very precious, you know~ Hmm... very precious."
Good, that performance was excellent, perfect!
I turned around, stood at attention, left foot right foot, left foot right foot to the door, opened it, turned around, and looked at the room full of dumbfounded male classmates.
I calmly gave a slight smile.
"Enjoy, everyone."
Then I closed the door and under the stunned gazes of the students frozen at the entrance, calmly walked toward the women’s restroom across the hall.
The male classmate who was about to enter the men’s restroom, seeing me come out of the door, froze instinctively, standing there with a dumbfounded expression.
He watched as I walked from the men’s restroom to the women’s restroom.
Then looked up at the other students, then back at the male and female signs on the door, blinked...
Subconsciously withdrew his outstretched hand, standing there dumbly, completely at a loss.
"What the hell!!!"
"Who was that?!!!"
"Did I just hallucinate?!!"
"Don’t come over here, don’t touch me!! Go wash your hands!!"
"Don’t even mention washing hands!!!"
The entire men’s restroom was silent for almost ten seconds.
The students in the corridor also froze for nearly ten seconds, until... the moment the first scream came from inside the men’s restroom, time started to flow again.
Facing the shouts from outside, I calmly... ignored the surprised looks from the girls around the door.
I headed into a stall, opened the door, turned around, closed it, and then...
"Damn damn damn! I went into the wrong restroom!"
Quickly clutching my chest, my poor little heart almost jumped out along the way.
Emmm... I couldn’t even feel my ribs.
"Luckily... luckily I reacted fast. Otherwise, it would have been a disaster. If Gong Lianyu found out, she might even faint."
Phew~
I was so scared I almost peed myself.
I hurriedly used the toilet, then pulled out some wet wipes to clean up...
Honestly, being a girl was really inconvenient.
When I was a guy, just shaking a few times was enough, but as a woman...
I sighed about the conveniences of a man’s life, which had nothing to do with me anymore.
After tidying up, I washed my hands, then turned around to leave.
At the door, I paused to listen, making sure there was no more chaos outside, then breathed a sigh of relief and walked out.
But just as I stepped out, a guy also walked out from the men’s restroom.
I glanced.
Wasn’t that the guy washing his hands earlier?
Instinctively, I asked, "Bro, did you wash clean?"
That guy, lowering his head as he walked out.
Shook the water off his hands and instinctively replied, "Don’t mention it! I’ve washed like ten times already... huh?"
Just as he finished speaking, he suddenly realized something and snapped his head up.
"You!!"
"Alright alright, don’t make a fuss. You should know, the world is big, anything can happen. That’s all... bye~"
Before he could say anything, I quickly rattled off a bunch of nonsense to block his train of thought.
Then, before he could react, I swiftly darted into the crowd, using my strong physical abilities to easily disappear among the people and return to my classroom.
I didn’t know if that guy would develop any psychological trauma afterward, but there was no helping it.
I couldn’t let him shout anything out.
It was no big deal for ten or so people to see it.
Although rumors would inevitably spread, at least it wouldn’t escalate.
But if that guy shouted out loud... that would be trouble.
It was currently between classes.
If he shouted, I would probably instantly become the school’s center of attention.
Back in the classroom, ignoring everything that had just happened, I saw that Teacher Zhang was reminding the students to go home early and not forget their winter vacation homework.
When she saw me come in, she didn’t say much.
Maybe it was because she had heard about the Liu Yunyan bus incident, and knew that Liu Yunyan’s current mindset was easily stimulated or something like that?
Anyway, whatever the reason, it was nice that the teacher didn’t interfere.
I returned to my seat.
Finally, Teacher Zhang summed up with two sentences and dismissed the class.
As for the test papers, we would have to come back to school in a week to collect them.
But by then, I wouldn’t need to come personally.
Shao He or Wang Sisi could pick them up.
Soon, Teacher Zhang let the students go.
Watching my classmates leave in twos and threes, chatting and laughing, I couldn’t help but sigh helplessly.
In my heart, I thought, 'Liu Yunyan, oh Liu Yunyan, you really have failed as a person... aside from one bloodsucking leech, you don’t even have a single good friend.'
Just as I was thinking this, suddenly... a woman’s voice rang in my ear.
"Yanyan, you finally came to school! You don’t know how much I missed you~"
Hearing this sweet, cloying voice, I instantly recalled from Liu Yunyan’s memory who this voice belonged to.
"Zhang Yan..."
Slowly lifting my head, I saw a girl wearing somewhat heavy makeup.
Although it was against school rules to wear makeup, today was the day of the midterm exam.
After the exam, the holiday officially began, and basically no teachers would bother to enforce rules anymore.
Even so, Zhang Yan was bold.
Other girls wore light makeup at most, but hers was quite heavy.
"Are you alright? I wanted to visit you a while ago, but I got held up with things. You’re not mad at me, are you..."
Zhang Yan had a very average face, the kind that could score sixty or seventy points with some light makeup.
Her figure wasn’t tall, but not fat either.
Just very ordinary.
However... this woman was too opportunistic.
Liu Yunyan might have been willing to be a sucker, but I couldn’t stand it.
"Zhang Yan, from now on, let’s go our separate ways."
At first, Zhang Yan didn’t react and was about to keep talking.
But when she heard my words, she suddenly froze.
"Yanyan... you..."
Seeing the surprise in Zhang Yan’s eyes, I couldn’t help but shake my head.
Still too young.
If I met a rich friend like that, I would never become a parasite.
After all... that person’s value was far greater than money.
The connections of a wealthy person, for a poor family, were basically a ladder to heaven.
You didn’t even need to use their money.
Just a bit of their network would be more than enough.
But this Zhang Yan... sigh, as the saying goes, "The greedy swallow the elephant."
The ancients didn’t lie.
"Zhang Yan, the relationship between us wasn’t normal before. You know it, and I know it. The past is the past, but now, I’m tired of this kind of relationship. Zhang Yan, let’s end it here. In the future, you walk your wide road, I’ll cross my single-log bridge. Let’s not contact each other again."
Originally, I thought Zhang Yan would have given up after being ignored for a while.
But I didn’t expect she would still dare to come clinging.
Truly spoiled.
"A crooked tree can never be straight; a raised wolf can’t guard the house; a cormorant dyed black won’t stay white; a crow painted white isn’t fresh."
"You... Liu Yunyan, how could you..."
Zhang Yan probably didn’t expect me to say such things.
And she, a fifteen-year-old girl, couldn’t act like a street shrew, throwing tantrums and rolling on the floor.
Besides, this was school.
If she did that, she wouldn’t even need to come back next semester.
The pointing fingers alone would drive her crazy.
"Goodbye."
I packed my backpack, slung it over my shoulder, turned, and left.
Leaving Zhang Yan standing dazed at the desk, lost in thought.
Originally, if Liu Yunyan had been normal, she might not have noticed anything.
But don’t forget, the one controlling the body now wasn’t Liu Yunyan, it was 'me' — the Evil Spirit!
As I was about to walk out the door, suddenly, the Evil Spirit Form sensed a trace of not very strong malice.
As an evil spirit, my sensitivity to malice was beyond human imagination.
In an instant, I knew the direction that malice came from.
And based on the direction...
"Zhang Yan... she actually turned gratitude into resentment?"
I frowned slightly.
A girl able to release malice that even my Evil Spirit Form could detect.
It seemed she wasn’t just thinking it, she was likely planning to act.
Hmm...
Without stopping, I walked straight out the door.
Then, as if nothing happened, I casually turned toward the staircase.
Next, I quickly circled back outside the classroom into a blind spot of the students' view.
Leaning against the outer wall of the classroom, I closed my eyes slowly.
The Evil Spirit Form instantly detached from my body and phased through the wall behind me.
The upper half of the Evil Spirit Form entered the classroom.
I had leaned against the wall because I was worried that without control, my body’s upper half would collapse.
Fortunately, my Evil Spirit Form could still touch physical things now.
I grabbed the nape of my physical body’s neck with one hand to prevent it from falling.
