Chapter 40: Assembly and Departure
“Look, look! Brother! That’s what we’re taking!”
“It’s said to be a new type of plane. It looks good, doesn’t it? I originally thought passenger planes would feel ordinary, but it’s so cool.”
“Jun Cheng, and also, the two younger sisters. I mean, it’s our first meeting, right? Aren’t you quite amazing?”
“Originally, there was no intention of excluding you. Seeing us, you proactively came to greet us, and your attitude is…”
In Ji Lianbing’s dictionary, there was no “exclusion”. Instead, it was Xinran’s reaction that truly impressed me.
“Xinran-sis?!”
“Thank you for bringing us on this trip too.”
“See? Even Ke Ling looks like she’s seen a ghost. To think that things would develop like this.”
“A terrifying Shura Field. But unexpectedly, the outcome wasn’t…”
She seemed a bit surprised, but immediately replaced it with an elegant smile. “I’ve never thought of ‘excluding’ you.”
“It must be difficult to thank an ‘enemy’ like me. If this trip is thanks to anyone, it’s only because she’s always considered me her…”
When complimenting her, Lianbing also looked at me with that same interested gaze. “Although essentially the same as Lanhua’s gaze, there is a difference. Lianbing’s gaze doesn’t make me feel difficult… Of course, I don’t intend to look at my own legs. But there’s still a gaze from her that feels… ‘consuming’.”
“Ugh! I, I’ll never admit you’re Brother’s girlfriend!”
“Heh heh, then I’ll have to try hard to get Ke Ling to admit it!”
“Don’t call my name!”
“Hey! Ke Ling! You’re puffing up your chest like a startled kitten trying to scare me.”
“Hehehe, this girl is a brother-con—”
“Oh~ Xinran~ Ke Ling~ You guys are here too, I see~”
Lanhua walked over from that direction, her appearance striking. Her outfit was different, yet it didn’t feel mismatched. Very dazzling. She would be quite suitable for a cover model, wouldn’t she?
“Hello, Senior Lanhua.”
“Oh! Lanlan!”
“What am I seeing? SF Light Novel. She’s talking very familiarly with my two younger sisters!”
They acted as if they knew each other! Lianbing, with her confidence, couldn’t even insert herself.
In the end, Yu Lei came over and pulled my two younger sisters away. Lianbing also followed, as she still had something to instruct Miss Shirley about.
“Then, Jun Cheng-senpai, our flight is earlier. We’ll go first…”
Seeing Miss Shirley, who was waiting outside, I quickly asked Lanhua.
Lanhua tilted her head and replied, tapping her cheek. “Oh, we don’t really know each other. It’s just that I got some ‘information’ about you from Jun Cheng?”
“What! When did I ever say that…”
“Ah… ‘And then you immediately agreed, saying, ‘It’s okay, I don’t have anything good to tell my sisters.””
At that time, I had no impression at all! But I felt like I would say that!
“Yo! What’s wrong! You don’t know the true meaning of my words!”
“You shut up…”
“What a pity, Jun Cheng. I only have you now… Can you go look for them?”
“But she’s a lady… Of course, she won’t pass. It’s Hanako, isn’t it?”
“Compared to Yuki’s death, Xiao Fengfeng can’t…”
Now I have to deal with this kind of thing… I remember she was also a ghost, right? A real [cannibal ghost].
And she’s also a friend of Gong… No, the ghosts in the class should be good ghosts, right?
It’s a [cannibal ghost].
I don’t need to deliberately take care of Xueqing recently.
Afterwards, our emotions seemed to have improved. We often did things together. The most…
Thinking of this, Xueqing walked over and took my hand.
“Oh, Xueqing, you’re the best!”
The boys’ group and the girls’ group… Xiao Xun, this time it’s not by class.
“Eh? There’s something like that?”
I looked in the direction Li Nai pointed.
I saw Eddie and A Liang. As expected, these two guys with their glasses are definitely not going to pass.
It seems there are others from different classes, but the boys are all…
Are they the chaperones?
And I also saw Lily. She is my…
“Then, I’ll go first. See you later.”
After greeting Lanhua and the others, I walked towards the boys’ group.
“Oh, I see… Right now, I see someone in my sight…”
“That’s right… Jun Cheng, you seem to have been injured and hospitalized before?”
Before I could respond, this person walked away directly. What the heck?
“Someone suddenly put their arm around my shoulder and said very casually,”
“Hey! You guy! You actually went to the girls’ side first, not bad!”
“You’re taking them! You weren’t caught in the exam?”
“Let’s not talk about that! Those two cute girls just now,”
“Damn it!”
“What class are they from again! Just how big of a harem are you planning to open!”
“If you’re asking about the two girls who came with me, they are my…”
“Brother-in-law!”
“One looks very lively, but to have two such cute younger sisters and hide them until now! One is the cold type, and the other is…”
“Tempting, this guy actually has a little devilish side too! That’s also good, oh~ I’m smitten!”
“Please, introduce your sisters to me.”
“Is it… magic perception?”
“Here, how about it!”
“It’s not good~ At least tell me your name, and I’ll teach you all my magical knowledge.”
“I can tell you my name. No need for the magic stuff.”
“Give me a chance, at least. This guy doesn’t seem like a bad person.”
“Because he’s a good person, he’ll get a ‘good guy’ card easily.”
“—And Xinran and Ke Ling. If you can succeed, I might really have to learn magic from you.”
“The one with long hair is An Xinran, and the one with her hair tied on both sides is An Ke–”
“An Ke—Alright!”
“Should I have told him? I can already foresee Meng Fa sitting alone on the beach watching the sunset, looking lonely.”
“Oh, right. Jun Cheng, I’m Wang Haoran from Class 2-5 now. Don’t get my name wrong—Hahaha!”
“So that’s why he could see through me… it’s because he…”
“Jun Cheng, you’re here just in time. Help me hold this, my arm is numb.”
I saw Eddie holding two huge suitcases. When I wanted to walk over, I realized…
“Eddie, what about Xiao Ai?”
I asked, as I helped him with one of the suitcases. It was quite heavy.
“Uh, Eddie, you didn’t…”
“But…”
“Experimental equipment.”
Suddenly, a possibility occurred to me.
“Hey, Eddie, you wouldn’t have…”
Eddie didn’t speak, but nodded in acknowledgment.
“He actually disassembled Xiao Ai and put her in his suitcase!”
“As expected of a sister…”
Although he was complaining about Xiao Ai, Eddie actually cared about her very much, judging by the…
Eddie, who was wearing glasses, looked at me with a cold expression and said sternly.
“What? Why are you making such a big deal about this?”
“It’s about Xiao Ai, my sister.”
“Zi’ai told me…”
The cold aura dissipated. Eddie took off his glasses and wiped them.
“She… she’s still here?”
“I’m not sure, but she should be… It seems you siblings have a good relationship.”
I went over to the boys’ group.
After putting on my glasses, I couldn’t see his expression. The atmosphere felt a bit dull, so I stopped talking and walked over.
“Teacher Yang, here is the invitation for the summer camp.”
I called out to Lily, but she didn’t seem to notice.
I called again, but she still didn’t react. It’s dark… If the contract was still valid at this time, she would have knelt down already.
“Lily, Teacher?”
This time, I called her name directly, then added “Teacher” after a pause.
“Ah, Jun Cheng. Teacher Yang looked at me, took the invitation, and helped us register.”
She called my name like I called hers. “Okay, I’ll register you right away.”
Although I wanted to ask, it was in front of classmates. Her expression seemed unnatural.
I’m too familiar with Lily. Most importantly, I’m afraid that one careless remark… the information network would spread this matter all over the place.
The gossips would spread it everywhere, even before school started. That weird…
I avoided interacting with others as much as possible, partly out of guilt. I felt that…
When talking, it’s best to keep it short.
We boarded the plane after I sat down.
“Jun Cheng, have you flown before?” he asked me.
I didn’t know where the plane was going, so for me, this was the first time. I didn’t remember anything about the past, nor did I…
“Oh, then we’re the same… To be honest, I’ve never flown on such a big…”
“Uh, calm down, A Liang. Your personality isn’t…”
“Li Nai… No, no possible!”
“I don’t understand why you’re so calm even though it’s your first time flying!”
“It’s the safest means of transportation in the world.”
I didn’t have much to say.
After we sat down, I heard the two students in front of us discussing.
“Humans… they’re really amazing. Clearly, I used to sneeze and they would pray to me every day. But now look at me, mixed in this circle? In the past, when I had nothing to do, I could only sleep. I felt like I was going to sleep to death…”
“It’s for relieving boredom.”
It seems like an extraordinary conversation is unfolding.
However, after hearing this, I hesitated… Is it really okay to openly discuss this in public?
But in the end, it’s still a world dominated by belief, isn’t it…
