Shen MO returned quickly.
Following closely behind him were Teacher Cheng and Tan Xiao.
Just as Bai Youwei was about to ask them about what happened upstairs, she heard the lively sound of footsteps, thump, thump, thump, descending from the floor above.
Two male students rushed over, hauling in a bag of rice and a bag of flour into the dorm. They said, “Teacher Cheng, Brother Xiao, thank you so much! This is just a small token of our appreciation, please accept it! We’re truly grateful!”
After quickly finishing their sentence, they turned around and dashed back up the stairs without giving anyone a chance to refuse their gifts.
Bai Youwei was dumbfounded, “What’s going on?”
Up until a moment ago, they were seriously criticizing Tan Xiao, yet now they were addressing him as “Brother Xiao”?
How can she continue her villainous plot now?
“One of their students got injured. Teacher Cheng used a mud patch, ” explained
Shen MO, after a slight pause. “The injury happened in the game.”
Bai Youwei asked, “Is it serious?”
Tan Xiao gesticulated with his hand and said nervously, “He has a huge bloody wound on his body. I don’t know what kind of animal bit him. It’s a miracle that he is still alive!”
“Oh…” Bai Youwei tilted her head in thought, “So if he made it out of the game alive, it means he cleared the level… Do they have any items? What are they?” Tan Xiao was taken aback, he hadn’t considered that possibility.
Seeing his reaction, Bai Youwei couldn’t help but roll her eyes. “Well done, both of you. Not even finding out what items those guys have while revealing your own.”
Teacher Cheng looked guilty. “It was an emergency…”
The mud patch was Bai Youwei’s item. He felt a bit guilty as he hadn’t informed her before using it, nor had he managed to get any valuable information.
“Nevermind,” Bai Youwei said languidly, “Expecting you guys to gather information was my mistake. I was too naive and too trusting.”
Tan Xiao:
Teacher Cheng:
They were at a loss for words.
But Shen MO, accustomed to Bai Youwei’s sarcasm, intervened on their behalf,
“Although we didn’t get much information, I did see Teacher Cheng and
Teacher Tu talking when I was upstairs.”
Bai Youwei: “So that lady’s surname is Tu?”
Teacher Cheng hurriedly followed up: “Yes, her name is Tu Dan, a teacher from Hangzhou High School. All those students are from her class, in their first year of high school. They too came to Yangzhou to seek refuge, but were caught in the massive fog. Everyone else fled, but Teacher Tu stayed behind with an injured student. They were unable to board the ship due to the injury, so they’ve been held up here for a few days, nursing the wound and looking for medicine.”
After finishing all in one breath, he looked expectantly at Bai Youwei.
Bai Youwei: “Oh…”
Both Teacher Cheng and Tan Xiao heaved a sigh of relief.
Bai Youwei: “Do you think I’m stupid?”
Teacher Cheng:
The honest old man was stupefied, unable to react immediately.
“So a teacher expects all the students to abandon their escape and stay behind with one injured student? Does that sound like something a teacher would do?” Bai Youwei sneered, “Over a dozen students staying here, and you’re telling me there’s no plot? Fat chance.”
Nobody spoke a word in the room.
Perhaps out of embarrassment.
Bai Youwei gave them a scornful glance and said lazily, “Whatever, as long as they don’t provoke me, who cares what they’re plotting.”
Teacher Cheng finally reacted, “No, no, I believe Teacher Tu is a very responsible person, she wouldn’t harm her own students, nor would she harm us.”
“Teacher Cheng, you never know what people are thinking.” Tan Xiao’s expression turned serious as he patted Cheng’s shoulder, “The most important thing in our lives is one word: Caution!”
Bai Youwei didn’t even bother to roll her eyes this time.
How many words are there in that sentence? Could you please count it again?!
Suddenly, Shen MO said, “Someone is coming.”
Everyone in the room looked startled, and then fell silent.
The sound of footsteps gradually grew closer until there was a knock at the door. Teacher Tu’s voice could be heard from the outside, “Mr.. Shen, may I come in and talk with you all?”
