After my soul traveled through time and space, I became the male protagonist Bai Yueguang
Chapter 23 Dropping out of school
The next morning, Shen Zhao was not woken up by the alarm clock and slept until almost noon.
When Shen Zhao opened her eyes drowsily and saw the bright room, her thoughts came back to her mind at once. She sat up quickly and glanced at the alarm clock beside her. It was already past ten o'clock, an awkward time. She rubbed her forehead with her hands, still feeling dizzy. She still remembered that Mu Yanchen looked at her with those whirlpool-like eyes last night, as if he wanted to swallow her up, and in fact Mu Yanchen did that. His determined and lingering style made her know that her lips were severely swollen today without even looking. She only remembered that she was kissed to the point of passing out last night, and her head was dizzy, so she forgot how she got back to bed.
When Mu Yanchen returned to the room from outside, he saw Shen Zhao sitting on the bed in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking about. His face changed rapidly, turning blue and red.
He raised a smile, his eyes full of fondness.
"Zhao Zhao." he called.
Shen Zhao naturally ignored his affectionate name, but when she saw his face, her cheeks turned even redder, like a cooked tomato.
She stammered, "Is there...something...?"
"Well, get up, come with me to have breakfast."
Shen Zhao glanced at the alarm clock and said, "But, I still have to go to school..."
"I've already asked for leave for you today. Rest at home for a day, okay?"
Shen Zhao is a soft-hearted person, and she would definitely not agree if Mu Yanchen locked her up in the manor by force. However, Mu Yanchen's tone and attitude were just right, as if he was soothing her sensitive nerves and preventing them from finding a place to vent. It also naturally made her let down her guard against him, even though he had done something quite excessive to her last night.
"Okay, I'll come right over after I wash up."
"Then I'll wait for you in the garden downstairs." After saying that, Mu Yanchen gave her enough space to digest and adapt to the way they get along. They were intimate before, but everything happened too fast. He lost control, but he didn't regret it. If it happened again, he thought he would still lose control. After all, it was a lost and regained existence that he had longed for. But he couldn't rush it now. He had to lure her slowly and let her slowly come out of her little shell.
After all, she didn't remember him and never knew he was behind her.
Normally, Mu Yanchen would not have the leisure to have breakfast in the garden, especially since his condition had worsened recently and he had to rely on nutrient solution to survive. But today was an exception, because the person he was having a meal with was Shen Zhao, and his body had gradually been weaned off the nutrient solution due to recent conditioning.
An exquisite breakfast had been prepared in the kitchen, waiting for Situ Rui to call, while Mu Yanchen sat at a dining table in the garden, quietly looking at his tablet. It was a sunny day today, the warm autumn sun, which felt extremely comfortable on his body, and so was his mood. The servants watched from afar as Mr. Mu was patiently waiting for his beloved, and they were all secretly amazed in their hearts that Mr. Mu, who had been bedridden for a long time, not only looked much better, but his temper seemed to have also become more refreshing, not as gloomy and scary as before. But they didn't know that this was only the way Mu Yanchen acted towards Shen Zhaoshi. To other people, he was still the same devil, but he was now better at disguising himself.
Shen Zhao lingered in the room for a full half hour before appearing in the garden. She walked slowly towards Mu Yanchen a little awkwardly, having prepared herself mentally. After all, it was Mu Yanchen who rescued her, and she was usually taken care of by him. As long as he didn't do anything excessive in the future, what happened before would not count. Thinking of this, her expression became much more natural, and she automatically ignored the so-called reason that Mu Yanchen told her about kissing her last night.
It has been more than two weeks since Shen Zhao quit the swimming team. It was one of the rare times she basked in the sun. When she was bathed in the sunlight, Mu Yanchen was surprised to find that her skin color had become much lighter, and her appearance vaguely overlapped with Sheng Baiyi's. She was the one that captured his soul. He stared at her in a daze as she approached him, and then he came back to his senses and put on a warm smile, which was in stark contrast to his deep and possessive gaze. He withdrew his gaze in just a moment.
A look that is too direct will scare the girl in front of you.
"Have you been waiting for a long time?" Shen Zhao said a little embarrassedly.
Mu Yanchen closed his laptop and a servant came forward to take it back.
"No," he said.
There was silence. Shen Zhao didn't dare to focus too much on Mu Yanchen. In name, he was still her sponsor, and they rarely had the opportunity to have such peaceful contact, so she ignored Mu Yanchen's gaze that was focused on her.
Breakfast was soon served on the table. It was a typical Chinese breakfast, many of which came from the same place, which was Y City in the south, adjacent to the Yu River, and its specialty was breakfast.
The most important thing is that it is the city where Sheng Baiyi grew up.
When Shen Zhao saw the table full of dim sum, her eyes sparkled green. She looked up at Mu Yanchen happily, "Mr. Mu, do you like dim sum?"
Mu Yanchen said nothing, just nodded.
He glanced at her, thinking about the past. He was not from Y City, he was a native of H City. When he was a child, he had heard about breakfast, which was a feature of Y City. He had also seen it on the Internet, but he had no interest at the time because he was not a person with a heavy appetite. As long as he could maintain his daily physiological functions, if the nutrient solution could maintain it, he would not mind hanging the nutrient solution every day. It was not until he met Sheng Baiyi in high school that he began to be interested in breakfast, or more precisely, in Sheng Baiyi who liked to eat breakfast, and then he also fell in love with this food.
Shen Zhao wanted to say "I like it too", but she thought, this is H City, and she is now a child who grew up in H City. If no one accompanies her to have breakfast, she will definitely not try it by herself. She stroked her tongue, and the words that came to her mouth became "I have always longed for the breakfast in Y City. I hope that I will be lucky enough to try it when I grow up. Now this wish has come true!"
Mu Yanchen didn't want to expose her. The time was not right yet and he couldn't scare her.
"Is that so? Then you should eat more."
Shen Zhao smiled and said, "Then I won't be polite!"
Mu Yanchen looked at Shen Zhao and saw that he picked up all the food that Sheng Baiyi liked to eat. The color in his eyes became more intense. His thoughts were so deep that even Situ Rui, who had followed him for a long time, could not guess them.
After Shen Zhao had almost finished eating and the servants had cleared the table, Mu Yanchen began to talk about business.
"Zhao Zhao."
"Ok?"
Situ Rui handed over a few sheets of paper with information and placed them flat on the dining table.
"This is the leader. Do you need my help?"
"Ok?"
Shen Zhao looked confused. While she was still sleeping, had the boss already thoroughly investigated all those people?
"Can you let me see it?"
"Please."
Mu Yanchen has enough patience with Shen Zhao.
Shen Zhao flipped through a few pages and became more and more frightened. She looked up at Mu Yanchen and saw that he looked calm and even smiled at her. She continued to read with her head down until she finished. She couldn't help but feel a chill down her spine.
She glanced at Mu Yanchen again and felt that anyone who became his opponent would die miserably.
The several documents recorded nothing but a list of people who were hostile to Shen Zhao and their related experiences. By utilizing the relationships contained therein, he would be sure to win when facing those people.
But why did Mu Yanchen help her? Could it be that sponsors are so generous nowadays that they even take care of the disputes in little girls' schools?
Shen Zhao calmly shook her head. "No, thank you. With this information," she held up the papers, "my chances of winning will only be greater."
"Okay, if you have any difficulties," Mu Yanchen paused, staring at her with a charming look that reminded Shen Zhao of their first meeting, "You can let me help you at any time."
After saying that, Mu Yanchen controlled the wheelchair and walked away, leaving Shen Zhao with a blushing face. Situ Rui, who was standing beside her, glanced at her and said, "Let me remind you that you should have some self-awareness. Mr. Mu has someone in his heart. No matter how much he takes care of you, you can't compare to her!"
After Situ Rui finished speaking, he quickly followed Mu Yanchen's footsteps.
Shen Zhao originally thought that after the intimacy last night, the two of them should be very awkward together today, but it wasn't. In fact, due to some secret expectations in her heart, it seemed as if she was rushing to ask for status... After calming down, Shen Zhao touched his lips. Sure enough, Mr. Mu's condition after the acupuncture last night might be an illusion. He might have regarded her as the person he loved, so he was so... emotional...
She shook her head and told herself not to take it too seriously. It was just a little deeper than the last time she did it.
After Situ Rui caught up with Mu Yanchen, he looked back at Shen Zhao who was still in the garden with some worry, "Why did you let her handle it on her own? She's just a high school student."
"Yes, but she doesn't need my help for now, so I will just wait quietly."
"That's not like you."
Mu Yanchen turned his head and looked up at Situ Rui with a cruel smile, "Do you think I will let Xu go?"
"of course not!"
Situ Rui was startled and silently lit the lamp for Xu.
**
Xu Yaoyao did not take the man's phone call last night seriously. She just thought he was a young man with some money. She was more concerned about Shen Zhao's embarrassed appearance this morning. She did not go to see the excitement herself, but arrived at school early in the morning and sat in the classroom frequently swiping the screen of her mobile phone. As long as there was any new development in the school, the students would upload it to the campus forum. The topic of Shen Zhao being kept has been paid attention to, and the popularity has only increased. Once she has any scandal, it will definitely set off a huge wave of publicity, and this is what Xu Yaoyao is looking forward to more.
But no, until the end of the first class, Xu Yaoyao did not find any news about Shen Zhao in the forum.
too weird!
Xu Yaoyao had no choice but to call Fang Cheng. She was the subsequent operator and it was her job to spread all kinds of rumors, including this morning's order.
"What's wrong with you? You can even mess up such a small thing?" Xu Yaoyao cursed as soon as the phone was connected.
Fang Cheng finally came to her senses after being scolded like that. She said tremblingly, "Calm down. What happened this morning was very strange."
"What do you mean?" Xu Yaoyao finally calmed down a little.
"I arrived at school an hour early this morning. The toilet door was intact and locked, so I squatted on the side and waited for the cleaner to open the door and go in. Half an hour later, I saw the cleaner go in. I was ready to shoot, but there was no sound from inside. In the end, it was only the cleaner who pushed the door open. I ran in after the cleaner left. Everything in the toilet was intact, as if nothing happened last night. So Yaoyao, what I want to ask is, what did you do last night?"
After Fang Cheng finished asking the question, he pressed the recording button to be prepared.
Xu Yaoyao was also shocked when she heard Fang Cheng's words. She had clearly locked Shen Zhao in the toilet yesterday, so how could he disappear without a trace!
"How is that possible! Yesterday I brought people to torture her so hard that she couldn't speak. She didn't even have the strength to struggle. How could she not be in the bathroom?"
"Is it the toilet on the arts floor?"
"Correct."
"Then I didn't make a mistake, but there really is no one there. The materials I need are gone. I heard that Shen Zhao took a day off today. Did someone rescue her?"
When asked by Fang Cheng, Xu Yaoyao remembered the man's voice last night and the questions he asked, but how did he know that Shen Zhao was locked in the toilet?
Xu Yaoyao shook her head, thinking it was impossible, but who else could it be besides him? She couldn't help but think of those girls last night. Could there be a betrayer among them? This was very likely.
"How about we do it again during the grade trip?" Fang Cheng suggested, "I have a good plan. Have you heard of Yuan Hongwei? Many people say that he likes Shen Zhao..."
After hearing this, Xu Yaoyao also thought it was a good idea. What could be more devastating than seeing the girl you like with another man? She wanted to let Lu Siming experience it and let him know who is the best and most suitable person for him!
But before that, she had to deal with those girls from last night. The school's surveillance was very broken and it was not the right time, but with her smart head, it was not difficult to figure out where the loophole was. Anyway, she would never believe that the man on the phone knew where Shen Zhao was being held.
In the afternoon, several girls who had done evil things last night were kept by Xu Yaoyao and stood in a row in the garden behind the laboratory building. The garden was very quiet at this time, and even the sound of flying insects could be heard. The location chosen by Xu Yaoyao was behind a building, so it would not be easy to see even if someone passed by.
Several girls were trembling with fear, and one even fell to the ground, then stood up quickly in horror, not even daring to meet Xu Yaoyao's gaze.
"Do you know why I came to you today?"
It was very quiet, no one dared to answer.
Not answering does not mean that the matter can be let go. There is another person next to Xu Yaoyao. The other girls recognize him. He is the gloomy boy in Class 7 of Senior Grade 3 assigned to Xu Yaoyao by the Xu family. He can be said to be the person she trusts the most. "Go, make them all kneel. Since they want to try Shen Zhao's treatment, it's not impossible."
Xu Qing walked over and kicked them in the popliteal fossa from behind. The first girl who was unwilling to kneel fell to her knees in pain. Although she was wearing long pants, the dull sound of her knees hitting the concrete floor still shocked the other girls. The girls behind her basically did not resist and knelt down one after another.
"Tell me, who among you released Shen Zhao?"
Several girls looked at each other, but no one admitted it.
"You won't tell me, right, Xu Qing!"
Xu Qing brought a bucket from somewhere and filled it with water from the fish pond. Green moss was floating on the surface of the water, and under the water were large koi carps that gave off a fishy smell. Xu Qing slowly walked towards the girls with the bucket in his hand. The girls all looked horrified. The water that was splashed on Shen Zhao last night was clean tap water, but this bucket was beyond their cognition.
One of the girls screamed, "It's not me, I was the first one to leave the bathroom, it can't be me!"
After the first girl spoke, the other girls began to defend themselves. Only one person remained silent. She was the tall girl who left last. No one could testify for her, and she was the most suspicious. Even if Xu Yaoyao really believed that she did not release Shen Zhao, as long as Shen Zhao returned to school, he would definitely return the school uniform to her given his personality. If Xu Yaoyao heard about this, she would never be able to clear herself even if she fell into the Yellow River.
The tall girl suddenly felt regretful about her behavior last night.
"Is it you?" Xu Yaoyao stood in front of the tall girl and lifted her chin.
She just remained silent, which made Xu Yaoyao angry. Since she didn't say anything, she must be punished even if it was not true.
After that day, the tall girl disappeared from Deyan Middle School. She once thought that she could graduate successfully, at least luckier than Shen Zhao. But when she left, there was no news of Shen Zhao dropping out.
