Du Huan also quickly said, "It’s true, we just wanted to play a joke on you."
With a smile, Gu Yan said, "A joke that almost got bitten to death by zombies? In that situation, I wouldn’t have had ti to send an SOS to the teachers and instructors."
Grumbling to herself, Anji said, "We already said it wasn’t on purpose. Who knew there would be so many zombies outside, and besides, who knew you would be eavesdropping nearby?"
"...Let’s stop talking about this disgusting matter. Vivian and I were the first to find that room, we avoided it. And besides, it wasn’t that long. Is that your reason for wanting to kill ?"
Anji’s face darkened.
Especially that line about it not being that long.
Both of them were furious but still didn’t dare to make a move. They exchanged glances, ready to turn and run.
But at that mont, the two of them fell flat on their faces?
Even a regular person, let alone a Beastman, couldn’t make such a basic mistake, right?
It was definitely an ambush!
"Who’s there!" Anji shouted as she clambered up from the ground, yelling towards the darkness.
They all thought it must be Gu Yan’s companion nad Vivian, but she was just a rabbit Beastman, fast but with no other advantages.
The next mont, a person slowly erged from the shadows. By now, many participants were sowhat disheveled, but this person’s combat suit was still spotless.
That person was Bai Li.
He walked out from the shadows and calmly said to Anji and the other, "Apologize."
"How co this bug is everywhere!"
So Beastn referred to Insectoids in private that way. Of course, Insectoids also called that group of savage animals ’wild beasts’. In reality, neither was purely human anymore.
After hearing this, Bai Li remained composed and unperturbed.
But Gu Yan got angry. She directly said, "Anji, you better apologize right now! Otherwise, once I’m out, I’ll tell the teachers you tried to kill during the assessnt!"
Anji stubbornly retorted, "You have no evidence!"
Gu Yan replied, "Oh, my brain computer has been recording since you guys arrived, including what you said in the room and the zombies’ howling."
"You recorded everything?"
"No, I didn’t record the two of you fighting; I was worried about contaminating my brain computer."
The two: "..."
Bai Li took a few steps forward, frowning as he asked, "What fight?"
Gu Yan actually didn’t want to say it aloud, but seeing Bai Li’s frown, after so thought, she said in a more moderate way, "Just, things that get done during the Manic-Depressive Period."
Bai Li’s gaze instantly darkened, and the air around them seed to beco heavier, making it difficult for Anji and Du Huan to breathe.
Yet, Bai Li grabbed Gu Yan’s hand and said, "They don’t need to apologize."
"You’re just going to let them off like that?"
"Endangering a classmate’s life must be reported to the teachers. This ti you were lucky and managed to avoid it, but what if next ti another classmate can’t?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yan imdiately nodded, "You’re right!"
Seeing the two walking towards the corner, their figures about to disappear from view, Anji and Du Huan belatedly realized what was happening. Their faces turned pale, and they quickly gave chase!
Bai Li heard the footsteps of two people and said, "Do you want to beat them up?"
Gu Yan shook her head, "No, it’d dirty my hands."
Bai Li nodded, then reached out to put an arm around Gu Yan’s shoulders, "Then let’s go sowhere else."
"Sure."
Having been together for so many years, Gu Yan discovered that Bai Li also knew the Space Transfer Technique, which was slightly different from her Spatial Superpower, but could also change their positions.
Therefore, in the blink of an eye, the two of them left the corridor and arrived at the rooftop of the high-rise building in the residential area.
There were rooms here too, and no one else around. Half of those living on the top floors were wealthy, and the rooms had so dust, but the furniture was all quite nice.
"I’ll clean up first." Gu Yan couldn’t stand a dirty and ssy environnt, not to ntion, it would still be a few hours before dawn.
However, she paused with the broom in her hands, "Oops, I almost forgot about Vivian! She was with just now, but we got separated when we ran outside together!"
Bai Li walked over and said softly, "Don’t worry, Ji Mu is with her. They’ve already found a safe room to hide. We’ll et up with them when it gets light."
Gu Yan thought for a mont, made sure her friend was not in danger, and then nodded her head.
Suddenly, Bai Li asked, "Did you really record them doing that... that scene?"
His voice was very stern, as if tinged with profound displeasure—almost as if he was angry?
Gu Yan shrank her neck, "Not that, after all, it was too disgusting. I started recording after I ran back to the room. But that part... it can also prove that those two wanted to kill ."
Upon hearing this, Bai Li’s brow relaxed slightly, but his attention was diverted as he asked softly, "Do you think that incident was disgusting?"
Looking at Bai Li, Gu Yan suddenly didn’t know how to answer. Though she had never been in love, and didn’t have to worry about the Manic-Depressive Period like a Beastman, she still knew the basic biology.
Well, it’s normal biological knowledge, Gu Yan didn’t find it disgusting.
It’s just...
She said quietly, "It’s not about that per se, I just find those two disgusting. Everyone is trying hard to complete the exam and the tasks, and there they are doing that. And you wouldn’t believe it, when they saw Vivian and , they weren’t even embarrassed—they even asked how much we saw! How disgusting is that!"
After Bai Li heard this, he looked at her with deep eyes and finally nodded, "Yes, it’s disgusting."
"But, although it’s disgusting, it’s their private affair. When I talk to the teachers and the instructors tomorrow, I’ll only ntion the part about them trying to kill ."
"Yes," Bai Li didn’t want her to get involved in such matters either.
Gu Yan finally cald down and checked the countdown on her light brain—she was one hour closer to completing her task.
She and Bai Li both sat on the soft sofa, leaning on each other just like when they were children.
Gu Yan asked, "Did you complete your task?"
"I did."
"You’re amazing! Ah, I wonder how my little brother is doing, but I think, he definitely won’t have any problem finishing his task."
The two chatted casually for a bit. Soon, sleepiness overtook Gu Yan, and she leaned her head on Bai Li’s shoulder, falling asleep.
Bai Li lifted his hand and pulled over the jacket that was taken off beside him to cover Gu Yan.
The other hand gently tightened its hold on her.
Bai Li’s gaze settled on Gu Yan’s beautiful face. He brushed his hand lightly across her mouth, feeling that peculiar softness.
It turns out, without realizing it, the little girl who once held Little Mushroom had grown up so much!
