"Bei Yaoyue, good morning!" As soon as she sat down, Su Weiai enthusiastically greeted Bei Yaoyue. In all of Class 101, only Su Weiai would actively greet her.
After all, the feeling of greeting soone only to be ignored was quite unpleasant, so even though Bei Yaoyue's looks ranked among the top at Tianshui No. 1 High School, very few people would actively approach this thorny rose.
"Mm, morning."
As usual, Bei Yaoyue answered very simply, but her voice was much gentler than normal.
After yesterday's face-to-face conversation, her relationship with Su Weiai had unknowingly grown closer, though it stopped short of being lovers.
When passing Class 102, Bei Yaoyue couldn't help but sneak a few glances into the classroom, only to find that Xifeng's seat was empty.
"Didn't co to school?" Bei Yaoyue muttered in confusion. Was Xifeng avoiding her because she didn't want to see her?
But she felt this wasn't sothing Xifeng would do. Combined with how Xifeng seed to have inexplicably skipped her stream last night, her heart suddenly skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition followed—could sothing have happened to Xifeng?
Shaking her head, she quickly comforted herself. Why was she scaring herself? Maybe Xifeng was just too tired from playing yesterday and overslept. Perhaps she'd co to school after waking up.
With this thought, Bei Yaoyue turned toward the teachers' office and used the excuse of family matters to request a day off for Xifeng.
If it were an ordinary person, the school would never approve leave based on her word alone, but with Bei Yaoyue's special status, she easily gained the teachers' trust.
But as ti slowly passed, even through lunch break, Bei Yaoyue never saw Xifeng appear at school. She tried calling Xifeng several tis, but all she got was "Hello, the number you dialed is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."
All this seed to suggest that Xifeng had indeed encountered so trouble. Bei Yaoyue's worry and concern for Xifeng had been fernting throughout this morning of silence, reaching its peak.
Unable to bear the worry in her heart, as soon as the lunch break bell rang, Bei Yaoyue was the first to rush out of the classroom. She requested half a day off, flagged down a taxi, and hurried ho in a panic.
Even if Xifeng was tempting her to actively break their agreent, it no longer mattered. She only wanted to confirm Xifeng's safety as quickly as possible.
On the way, Bei Yaoyue opened the system she had copied from Xifeng, but the data she saw instantly left her stunned.
"[Status]:
Satiation: 0.8%
Health: 1.2%
Mood: 2.1%
Sha: 4.3%
Sensitivity: 28.3%
Arousal: 1.4%"
Looking at these frighteningly low statistics, Bei Yaoyue felt her mind go blank, with intense fear instantly occupying her soul.
"Driver, go faster!" Bei Yaoyue urged anxiously. She began to regret why she had taken a taxi instead of asking Bei Yaochen to send a private car to pick her up.
"Miss, I can't. Speeding ans fines." The driver scratched his head, also looking helpless.
"How much is the fine? I'll pay it."
"It's not about money. What if it endangers your safety..."
"Ding, Zhifubao account credited, ten thousand yuan."
"Is this enough?" Bei Yaoyue's brow furrowed directly. "Please drive as fast as you can."
"Right away, please fasten your seatbelt."
The car that had been dawdling along like taking a leisurely stroll suddenly shot out like an arrow from a bow, weaving through traffic like a nimble snake, even ignoring red lights. Everywhere it passed, only countless startled drivers' curses remained.
"Are you trying to die? Driving so fast!"
"Holy shit, you scared the hell out of ! You don't want to live but I do!"
"Rushing to reincarnate? Bastard!"
But all these curses were left behind in the taxi's exhaust. What should have been a ten-minute drive was completed in just three or four minutes.
"Please take care." Watching Bei Yaoyue quickly get out and leave, the driver couldn't help but sigh. It had been a long ti since he'd driven at 100 in the city. Racing was indeed thrilling.
Every taxi driver had the dream of being a race car driver in their heart, and he was no exception.
He figured that only one place had caught him running a red light, only deducting six points, but earning ten thousand yuan while experiencing the thrill of racing—this ride was truly profitable.
Turning the key one and a half rotations, Bei Yaoyue pushed open Xifeng's door, slamd it shut, and rushed inside.
This was her second ti coming to Xifeng's ho. Even though no one had lived here for two weeks, the room was still spotlessly clean, showing that Xifeng regularly ca back to clean.
Bei Yaoyue threw her schoolbag directly onto the sofa and ran toward Xifeng's bedroom based on her mory of where the master bedroom should be.
"Knock knock."
Bei Yaoyue gently knocked on the door and called out: "Xifeng, are you there?"
No one responded. Bei Yaoyue thought for a mont, turned the handle, and pushed the door open.
The wave of hot air that hit her face made Bei Yaoyue's brow furrow instantly. Running the heater in the middle of sumr—what was wrong?
She directed her gaze forward, only to see Xifeng curled up on the bed, tightly wrapped in blankets, lying quietly as if asleep, except her expression was tightly scrunched up, as if enduring so great pain.
"Xifeng...?"
Bei Yaoyue softly called Xifeng's na, quickly walked to the bedside, and reached out to touch her cheek. The feedback she received made Bei Yaoyue's face turn pale with shock.
So cold!
It was like touching a glass filled with ice cubes. The temperature coming from Xifeng's body was frighteningly low, nothing like what a living person could have—more like... a corpse.
What was happening? Could Xifeng already be...
Intense fear surged up like a tsunami, lifting Bei Yaoyue's consciousness and dragging it into the abyss of terror. Her hands began trembling violently.
Shaking Xifeng's body frantically like a madwoman, Bei Yaoyue scread: "Xifeng! What's wrong with you! Xifeng!! Don't scare !! Open your eyes quickly!!!"
But no matter how hard Bei Yaoyue tried to awaken Xifeng's consciousness, it was like a stone sinking into the sea—no response at all.
In that instant, Bei Yaoyue's sky shattered like a mirror falling from great height, everything in her sight turned gray and dark, and the world collapsed into fragnts.
Impossible... this was impossible!!!
It's all lies, all lies!!!
"Xifeng!!! Xifeng!!!!" The intense fear filling her soul made Bei Yaoyue's voice tremble frantically like a wooden suspension bridge in a storm.
