I’ll just look for it myself, sorry…”
Lin Yi didn’t say anything, just silently nodded.
If Lin Yi had rashly assured her that he would handle the crisis on her behalf the mont she showed any sign of vulnerability, that would have been nothing short of foolish clownery, sothing Lin Yi would never do.
Actually, he could have used the ti while queuing up for food to observe the Student Cafeteria’s interior, trying to locate the position of the Convenience Store;
Actually, after getting his al, he could pretend to look for a table and then casually stroll around the safe zones of the Student Cafeteria…
But these were all matters for later; he wasn’t about to make any rash promises to Li Huiyuan right now.
It was best to keep such uncertain promises to oneself and factually do them when the ti ca, which would be far more useful than speaking too soon.
Therefore, when it cos to refusals, sotis it’s necessary to speak clearly and to the point, to prevent Li Huiyuan from truly putting all her bets on him.
“Oh right…” Li Huiyuan adjusted her emotions in the silence and then slowly asked, “Classmate Lin, can you explain to what ‘contamination’ ans?”
“Contamination?
Did the class teacher tell you sothing?”
“Not much, she just ntioned that I was ‘contaminated’ and said that from now on, until I get the Student Souvenir Coin and go back to the office to see her, I shouldn’t believe any stranger’s words.
She didn’t explain anything to …”
“I thought about it because I heard you ntion ‘contamination’ when you were chatting before, so I wanted to ask what that ans…”
Lin Yi retorted, “The class teacher told you not to believe any strangers, and you are telling everything right away?”
“Didn’t you ask?”
“Just because I asked, you spilled everything?”
“Then what?
I thought…
we’re not strangers anymore, right?”
Lin Yi couldn’t help but say, “We’ve only t for the second ti from yesterday till today!”
“But I…”
But apart from you, I can’t trust anyone else.
Compared to others, you’re already not a “stranger”…
Li Huiyuan pursed her lips and kept these sowhat cheesy-sounding words to herself.
Lin Yi sighed deeply, thinking that this girl was really resorting to desperate asures, even daring to board a dood pilot’s aircraft.
About the concept of ‘contamination’…
it’s actually sowhat complicated to explain.” Lin Yi briefly organized his thoughts and then explained the concept of contamination to Li Huiyuan in a way that was easier to understand.
Li Huiyuan listened until her face lost all color, her mouth agape with fear.
Lin Yi gave her a mont and then glanced at his watch again.
12:23.
He looked at the clock on the blackboard as well, and the ti matched.
Then he brought his gaze back to Li Huiyuan and asked, “I have asked about everything I wanted to know, do you have anything else to say?”
Li Huiyuan shook her head.
“In that case…” Lin Yi proceeded to ask if he could check her back again, “Could you turn your back to once more?
I feel I didn’t examine it thoroughly enough when we were on the road; the Pocket Chef seems to have left sothing related to contamination on you.”
Li Huiyuan was hesitant at first, but seeing Lin Yi’s serious expression and hearing him ntion sothing potentially related to contamination, she agreed and silently turned her back to him.
Lin Yi sat up straight and seriously started observing Li Huiyuan’s back…
To be honest, Lin Yi was also nervous.
After observing for about a minute, his expression gradually beca ugly.
It wasn’t because he had discovered so horrific terror but because —
“Damn it…
why can’t I activate the exposed Vision at all?!”
“This is killing !
So frustrating!”
A fine layer of sweat began to form on Lin Yi’s forehead.
“Um…
Lin, Classmate Lin, how is it?” Li Huiyuan asked nervously.
“Uh…
this…” Lin Yi’s voice trailed off, finding himself in a dilemma, unsure of what to say.
And his reaction made Li Huiyuan’s already anxious heart sink even further, her complexion also growing worse…
But in that mont, Lin Yi seed to have discovered sothing.
There appeared to be a second new scratch mark on Li Huiyuan’s back, as fine as a strand of hair!
And he distinctly rembered he hadn’t seen that scratch mark when he checked earlier!
Was it because he hadn’t looked closely, or was the scratch too faint to see clearly?
But the scratch was indeed very faint, sothing he couldn’t see before, yet now he could see it clearly!
It was a vertical scratch mark, like a strand of hair stretched straight and stuck on her back.
“Could it be that it’s just now surfaced?”
“Li Huiyuan.”
“Yes?”
“There’s a new scratch mark on your back, does it feel uncomfortable?”
“Ah?
What scratch mark?”
“A very fine one, like the kind you get from a kitten’s scratch.”
“I don’t feel anything…
Where is it?” She tried to reach her back but felt nothing at the scratch mark’s location.
“Here.” Lin Yi took her fingers and guided them to the location of the scratch.
“I don’t feel a thing.” Li Huiyuan felt around a few tis but to no avail.
“Maybe you could try?”
Lin Yi hesitated for a mont, then nodded, “Okay.”
Then he reached out his finger and lightly traced the scratch mark.
“Ouch!” Just then, Li Huiyuan let out a small yelp, instinctively arched her torso forward, breaking contact with Lin Yi’s finger, “It…
it’s a bit itchy!”
