Ruan Qing looked at the strange teacher and the strange
classmates, feeling a hint of nervousness and unease rising within.
Something was wrong.
This was very wrong.
If it weren’t for the fact that these classmates looked the
same as the ones in his memory, Ruan Qing would have suspected that they had
been replaced with a copy.
But he had only taken a nap, so why did everything change
when he woke up?
What’s more, why did they dare to treat him this way? Weren’t
they afraid of his retaliation?
You see, the original owner’s personality was such that he
would never tolerate any grievances. If he was treated like this, he would
definitely go back and complain to his parents. Knowing how indulgent his
parents were, no one would have a good time after.
They should be aware of this.
Or perhaps... they had conspired together, wanting to... kill
him directly?
But that didn’t make sense. There were too many students
present, and it’s hard to guarantee that no one would leak the information.
They would definitely face severe retaliation from the Su family.
Even if no one leaked anything and nothing was found, as long
as the original owner died in the classroom, this group of people would still
have nowhere to run, because the Su family would definitely blame them.
So it’s absolutely impossible for everyone to be so daring.
However, the math teacher didn’t give Ruan Qing much time to
think. He grabbed him and pressed him against the teacher’s desk.
Ruan Qing had no chance to struggle under the strong force,
and... it was so cold.
Ruan Qing looked down in horror. Could human body temperature
be this low?
The hand restraining his wrist was unusually cold, not just
chilly, but rather like the kind of cold when something was taken out of the
refrigerator, accompanied by a chilling sensation.
It was as if it was... a dead person.
Ruan Qing’s heart sank. His face paled without a trace of
color, his body trembling slightly. His muscles stiffened, cold sweat forming
on his forehead, and his thoughts began to blur.
Ruan Qing told himself to calm down, but he couldn’t calm
down at all. His brain, due to some speculation, clearly began to show signs of
sympathetic hyperresponsiveness.
It was a manifestation of extreme fear and terror.
Apart from being afraid of becoming someone else’s canary in
a cage, Ruan Qing was even more afraid... of ghosts.
He was so scared that his proud brain couldn’t even think
calmly.
Ruan Qing’s forehead was covered in fine sweat, and he
struggled to swallow saliva, trying hard to calm himself down.
After all, all of this was just his personal speculation, and
it might not really be a ghost. Even if it was a ghost, it shouldn’t appear so
openly in broad daylight.
With this thought, Ruan Qing calmed down a bit. He struggled
again with all his strength, but he still couldn’t break free. The strength of
the person holding him was no less than that of the group of hunters in the
previous copy.
Ruan Qing took a deep breath, suppressing the fear in his
heart, and turned his head back angrily at this math teacher who was holding
him, speaking in a sharp tone, “You better let me go! Otherwise, my Su family
won’t spare you!”
However, the boy’s voice trembled, directly betraying his
fear and terror. It was obvious that he was just barely holding on.
Ruan Qing also knew that his acting skills were definitely
terrible right now, but his reason and emotions were at odds. Even if he was
rational, he couldn’t completely control the body’s natural reactions.
The math teacher suddenly laughed, his smile exceptionally
eerie, almost stretching to his ears, giving a chilling feeling.
It was a smile that a human could never display.
Not to mention the greed and salivation in his eyes. He
stared straight at the boy as if he wanted to devour him completely.
After Ruan Qing saw the math teacher’s expression clearly,
his mind went blank. He widened his eyes, his face becoming even paler. The
mental construction he had just built collapsed once again, and the fear and
terror in his heart took over.
“Disobedient students must be punished,” said the math
teacher, grabbing Ruan Qing’s collar from behind and lifting him up, facing the
seated classmates below.
The classmates, just like the math teacher, stared straight
at the young boy with eerie smiles on their faces.
“Let go...” Ruan Qing was so scared that he could barely
speak.
He no longer cared about his image; fear and terror engulfed
him. He struggled desperately, but no matter how hard he fought, he couldn’t
escape the grip of the math teacher.
Due to his struggles, the boy’s clothes became disheveled,
and tears welled up in his eyes, moistening his eyelashes. In the next second,
like pearls with broken strings, they fell from his eyes, scattered and
pitiful.
The boy grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth, pampered
and arrogant. When had he ever endured such suffering?
However, his fragility and helplessness didn’t evoke
sympathy; they only made people unable to resist the urge to bully him even
more and make him fall from his pedestal.
The math teacher paid no attention to the boy’s plight. He
held the boy’s neck, forcing him to tilt his head back, and then his slender fingers
rubbed against the ruby earring by the boy’s ear.
The boy’s fair earlobes blushed beautifully under his touch,
and the slightly swaying tassels, coupled with the ruby, made the boy even more
enchanting.
The man’s slender fingers finally rested on the boy’s lightly
colored lips.
He pressed forcefully, his tone chilling and filled with
indescribable menace. Fear surged from the depths of one’s heart as he said,
“Since you can’t answer the question, how about we cut off your tongue?”
Although the man’s words were in the form of a question, they
carried an air of certainty, as if he were merely informing the boy.
Ruan Qing’s pupils contracted as he listened, trying to reach
out and grab the man’s hand pressing against his lips. However, his strength
was too weak. Even if he used both hands to pull at the man’s hand, he couldn’t
stop his actions. In the end, he could only whimper pitifully, feeling
helpless, as tears streamed down uncontrollably.
After the man’s fingers lingered by the boy’s soft lips for a
few seconds, his slender fingers pried open the boy’s thin lips.
Ruan Qing, filled with fear, clenched his teeth with all his
might, not daring to relax for a moment.
He was afraid that if he let his guard down, the man would
actually cut off his tongue.
However, the boy’s feeble resistance was futile. The man’s
hand, tightly holding the boy’s neck, pinched his chin and applied slight
pressure, forcing the boy to open his mouth.
“Hmm...” Don’t...
Ruan Qing’s tears flowed uncontrollably. He wanted to turn
his head and avoid the man’s hand, but his chin was firmly held, rendering him
unable to move. Helplessly, he whimpered softly as the man’s hand invaded his
mouth.
The man’s hand quickly touched the boy’s soft and moist
tongue, touching it lightly.
The cold touch of the man’s fingers felt as if he was
weighing whether to yank the tongue out directly or to cut it with scissors.
Although his tongue had not been cut yet, Ruan Qing seemed to
be already experiencing that kind of pain. He closed his eyes in fear, and his
body trembled uncontrollably.
That was fear pushed to its utmost limit.
The man looked at the boy in front of him, who closed his
eyes in fear, because his movements could only force him to open his mouth. The
hand pinching his chin was raised slightly upward, and he lowered his head and
kissed him directly.
The kiss landed on the corner of the young boy’s lips.
The cold and soft sensation lingered on his lips, causing
Ruan Qing’s body to tremble uncontrollably.
Was he... going to be devoured?
***
“Brother Su.”
“Brother Su, wake up!”
“Class is over.”
A young voice suddenly resounded in his ears, and his body
seemed to be jolted by a push.
Ruan Qing opened his eyes, abruptly swatting away the hand
extended towards him. Subconsciously, he stood up, the force of his movement
nearly toppling the desk in front of him.
The desk made a creaking sound as it was pushed, drawing the
attention of the classmates who hadn’t left the classroom yet. They all turned
their gaze in the direction of the sound.
They saw the usually arrogant and unruly demon-like teenager,
his face streaked with tears, panting heavily. His delicate face was flushed,
as if he had cried after being bullied. His whole body tensed up anxiously,
appearing somewhat fragile and helpless.
The classroom fell into silence for a moment, as if the
entire world had quieted down.
Initially puzzled by his hand being swatted away, Mo Ran
raised his head and caught a glimpse of the fragile appearance of the young
boy. He discreetly swallowed, and his throat moved slightly with the action.
It took him a few seconds to regain his senses. He nervously
addressed the young boy, “Brother Su, what happened to you?”
“...I had a nightmare.” Ruan Qing sat down expressionlessly,
wiping away the tears that had flowed from the dream with a few pieces of
paper.
In fact, Ruan Qing had realized what happened when he stood
up. He had actually fallen into such a deep sleep during class that he began to
dream.
And it was the kind of... extremely embarrassing dream.
In the dream, perhaps out of fear of not realizing that
something was wrong, upon careful consideration, it was only a kiss.
If Mo Ran hadn’t woken him up, the dream would have become
even more excessive. Who knew, he might have done something in front of
everyone...
After wiping away his tears, Ruan Qing forcefully rubbed the
corner of his lips, which had been touched in the dream.
He had never known that he could have such a fearful and
embarrassing dream.
Was it because the previous instance was too tiring?
Or did he actually suffer a concussion?
After all, this dream was akin to a person with a fear of
snakes falling into a snake pit. Ruan Qing felt a tingling sensation just
thinking about it.
Mo Ran looked at the expressionless young boy and casually
spoke. “I often have nightmares too. I always dream that monsters are chasing
me. It’s really terrifying. Brother Su, do you also have these kinds of
dreams?”
“Um.” Ruan Qing absentmindedly nodded, picked up the mineral
water on the desk, and took a gulp, relieving some of the emotions brought by
the dream.
Mo Ran observed the young boy in front of him, who remained
silent. He knew that the kind of dream the young boy had must be different.
After all, this type of dream, although uncomfortable,
wouldn’t make someone cry.
Did he dream of... being bullied?
Upon careful consideration, the young boy was actually
physically weak, and even if he was to bully others, his group of lackeys
mainly did it.
After all, it seemed like he couldn’t even lift a
five-kilogram shot put, so he could only stubbornly maintain his pride and
claim not to be interested.
The reason why the young boy could always stay on top was
because of his powerful background, not his own abilities.
Mo Ran lowered his gaze with a faint spark in his eyes and
looked at the young boy’s hands on the desk, which had distinct and
exceptionally beautiful knuckles.
What if one day this background no longer existed, or could
no longer help him?
Would he end up like just now, being bullied to the point of
tears?
That would be truly... pitiful.
Mo Ran concealed the emotions in his eyes, raised his head,
and showed a bright smile to the young man. “Brother Su, school is over. Shall
we go? I promise you’ll absolutely like it, Brother Su.”
Today was Friday, and there were only two classes in the
afternoon, so it’s already time to leave school.
Just as Ruan Qing was about to nod, his phone rang.
Ruan Qing took out his phone and looked at it. The contact
name was... boyfriend?
