Chapter 30 Red Serpent
Chapter 30 Red Serpent
They dined in a tranquil, off-white setting.
The lights were warm-toned, and although they weren't relatives, they shared a unique kind of warmth.
It seems that the extraterrestrial planets, through the magical moonlight, witnessed this peaceful and tranquil scene, and the moon became their telescope for observing Earth.
After they finished their meal, they went back to their rooms.
Qiao Xiao stayed in a guest room on the first floor.
Gu Jinghe, as always, sneaked into her secret base.
He was holding a strand of hair in his hand, which Qiao Xiao had accidentally dropped. Gu Jinghe picked it up carefully.
He wrapped the hair around his little finger, round and round, then tightened it suddenly, and a stinging sensation instantly struck him.
The deep red mark was slightly raised, and the originally delicate fingers were instantly marked with marks like red snakes coiling around them. Just as it was about to draw blood, Gu Jinghe loosened his grip on the hair. The hair was like an innocent pupa, yet it could still be comfortably protected in Gu Jinghe's palm.
Gu Jinghe rubbed his fingers, "The mark left is a symbol, uniquely mine." His tone was calm, yet there was an indescribable madness in it, "Just keep it with you forever, okay?"
He treasured the hair in his box and carefully placed it in his secret base.
The next day, Gu Jinghe got up to make breakfast, but when he went downstairs, breakfast was already laid out on the table.
The note also read: "I'll be leaving earlier these days. I've already bought you breakfast, and I've prepared lunch for you and put it in the refrigerator. Remember to heat it up before eating."
Gu Jinghe's thin, pale, and slender fingers lightly touched the bowls and plates. His eyes trembled slightly. He sat down in silence and ate elegantly, a gentleman of refined taste and jade-like demeanor.
His golden hair shone brightly, surpassing even the morning sun in its brilliance, like the sun beyond the heavens, revolving around its own universe.
Qiao Xiao: "The time is 6:13 now."
"The school has already started morning reading sessions."
She was still too late; she set her alarm for 5 a.m., but it was still too late.
"Now is the time to study. No matter how unethical you are, you can't ruin someone else's future. Let's go back to the villa and get some sleep first."
At this moment, Jiang Yu was cornering the homeroom teacher in the office.
Class teacher: "Jiang Yu, what's up? Why did you call me here?"
The homeroom teacher did not criticize him immediately, but instead questioned Jiang Yu's behavior.
Jiang Yu: "Teacher Yang, have you found that female student?"
The homeroom teacher awkwardly rubbed his hair. "Um... well, I happen to have some time now, I'll go with you to check the surveillance footage." He stopped the homeroom teacher of the next class who was about to supervise the morning reading. "Hey, Mr. Li, could you watch our class's morning reading for me? I need to take Jiang Yu with me to handle some things."
Director Li adjusted his glasses and said politely, "Okay."
Director Yang: "Let's go."
...
"Yes, yes, right, this is it. Zoom in... wait, why is this camera so blurry?"
Jiang Yu stared intently at every frame of the image containing the girl, his expression serious and focused. "It shouldn't be this clear." His dark eyes darkened slightly.
This camera is clearly different from other cameras.
Who is stopping him?!
At that moment, Qiao Xiao suddenly sneezed.
"A little energy is enough to modify the camera's content, hmm, not a bad deal," she said with a gloomy face.
The system asked, "Host, why do you need to study too?"
Qiao Xiao: "If you don't even know the basics of high school knowledge, what kind of brain do you have? What gives you the right to sit here? This is the city's No. 1 high school."
System: "After the system is managed, the corresponding results will be obtained based on the set data values. You must worry about this."
