Chapter 498: Qiao Mu Private High School

Under the calm of everyday life, the undercurrents are surging, and the people step on the ebb and flow of the undercurrents as if they were walking on a flat surface.

Under pressure from all sides, the Qiao Mu private high school had to issue a notice saying that it would take a one-week early vacation from the entrance exams, with no homework, to allow students to mentally adjust to the coming exams.

As soon as the news came out, all the students, whether they were involved in the storm or not, cheered wildly, and some of them even started tearing up their papers in advance to celebrate.

The snow-white pieces of paper fell from the towering school building, and amidst the cheers of "liberated", Bai Liu calmly turned his eyes back from the window, and returned them to his half-written math problem, and wrote the word "solve".

Everyone else in the class was hurriedly packing their bags with joyful faces, but all this seemed to have nothing to do with Bai Liu, who indifferently continued to work on the big question.

The students gradually, gradually from the classroom, the lively and noisy classroom gradually quiet, outside the sky darkened, Bai Liu again looked up, the classroom has become empty.

Bai Liu It took half an hour to do this big math probability question, and I just checked the answer, and it's right.

His rate of correctness is much higher than before, and his score on the big test has stabilized at over 400 points.

"Bai Liu!" Fang Dian, carrying a shoulder bag, appeared at the door of Bai Liu's classroom in her sporty uniform, she poked her head in and wowed, smiling, "Still working hard?"

"Going back no?"

-This go back, usually said to go back to Fang Dian that small house.

Bai Liu looked around Fang Dian, "Where's Lu Yizhan? He's not with you?"

"He had a bit of a problem and went back to the orphanage to deal with it first." Fang Dian naturally walked in and sat in front of Bai Liu, she stared at Bai Liu's expression for a moment and suddenly narrowed her eyes sharply, "What's going on? You don't want to go back with me?"

Bai Liu paused, "Wants to stay in school and study."

The real reason, of course, was not this, Bai Liu pursed his lips as his eyes swept towards the Spades that had just appeared in the corner and disappeared as Fang Dian appeared and disappeared.

...... Recently, there have been too many people gathering around him, people from unknown sources who care about him, teachers from the orphanage who are sent to observe him, plus Hou Tong who has been paying attention to him in his class, Fang Dian and Lu Yizhan who come down the mountain to feed him almost every day! ......

Bai Liu doesn't really have much time to be alone anymore, which makes Spades' presence around him less and less frequent.

This seven day vacation just ...... allows him to be alone with Spades.

"Liar." Fang Dian almost didn't hesitate to break down Bai Liu's lie, as if she had sensed something, she came very close to observe the expression of Bai Liu, who had averted his face, and then as if testing, or confirming, she hesitantly asked, "Bai Liu, you don't want to go back... ..."

"Is it someone at school who's in love?"

Bai Liu didn't answer, but he turned his face to the other side of the room where Fang Dian couldn't see him.

"Holy shit, no!?" Fang Dian surprised Bai Liu by pinching his chin, forcing him to look at her forcefully, she smiled narrowly and teasingly, "Who is it? Who's who? Who's who? Who's who?"

"Do I recognize it?"

"What class of girls is it?"

"How tall is it? Is it nice? When did you start talking? Have you held hands yet?"

Bai Liu glances up at Fang Dian coldly.

Dian Fang timely stopped her desire to gossip, she readily raised her hands in a gesture of surrender and smiled, "Okay, the last question, if you answer it, I'll never ask again, and I won't talk to Old Lu about it either!"

Bai Liu paused, "What's the problem?"

"This person ...... " Fang Dian's tone and eyes suddenly became gentle, she rested her cheeks on her desk and inclined her head to look at Bai Liu, "is the person you want in the future you want, right? "

Bai Liu was quiet for a moment, his eyes falling to the corner where the Spades had disappeared, and he gave a very soft hmmm.

"OK." Fang Dian rubbed Bai Liu's head a bit, rubbing Bai Liu's regular hair into a mess before stopping, then she lowered her head and opened her shoulder bag, pulling out a hundred dollars and placing it in front of Bai Liu, "This is the commission for the time you helped me and Lu Yizhan fall in love. This is the commission for the time you helped me and Lu Yizhan fall in love."

"I've been waiting for the right time to give it to you, and I think now is the right time."

Dian Fang smiled, "Take it for a spin this vacation!"

Bai Liu's eyes swept over the money, he paused: "Thanks, count me owe you ......".

Fang Dian interrupted Bai Liu with a wave of her hand as she darted away with her shoulder bag, her voice full of lightheartedness, "At least progress me to smooch oh love newbie~bye~"

As soon as Fang Dian disappeared, Spades appeared, laying on Bai Liu's shoulder and asking suspiciously, "What does boinking mean?"

Bai Liu: "......"

The meaning of the reward you beg for every day.

The following day, Sunday.

Bai Liu, wearing his school uniform with invisible Spades, appeared next to some lively shopping street.

Spades felt violently disoriented, "Where is this?"

"It's a street with a high flow of people and money." Bai Liu calmly replies, "There will be a lot of young people coming here to spend their useless energy and beat their useless time."

Spades grew more and more confused, "Then why are we here?"

Bai Liu paused.

It goes back to last night.

Bai Liu used the computers in the computer room at school to search for words and phrases such as [What's a good place to pick for a first date], [What's a recommended dating spot within a hundred dollars], and so on.

Getting responses like [don't take your girlfriend out for a hundred bucks bro, it's a bit shabby].

[Don't, you may not have a girlfriend after the date, listen to my advice, break up and give me your girlfriend, I'll take her out.]

[Nowadays, when you go out, you can eat a meal for more than a hundred per capita, right? ......]

But there are also more well-intentioned ones: [The nearby XX shopping street is good, it's doing a lot of activities, if your girlfriend doesn't mind discounted goods and discounted activities, then you can take her there, the budget is enough].

Bai Liu was ready to ask Spades if he minded discounted items, but after half an explanation, the man had only one message in his head - [going out to play].

So Spades glued himself expressionlessly to Bai Liu for half the night, not listening to a word he said.

It's a somewhat old-fashioned architectural street that is exceptionally crowded and surrounded by small stores and vendors, none of which are too expensive and all of which, as stated on that post, are indeed on sale and running events.

But even so, there are very few programs that Bai Liu can afford to spend money on.

"You can tell me if you have any favorites." Bai Liu said faintly, "But I can't always afford it."

Spades oohs and aahs as he asks, "What does it take to afford that?"

"Discounted." Bai Liu looked at Spades with straight eyes, he pursed his lips, "See that red sign? [ON SALE], there's that kind of logo to consider."

"But some of the lower priced ones don't need to be discounted ......"

Before Bai Liu could finish his sentence, Spades tugged on Bai Liu's hand and ran all the way, then stopped at a large arcade.

"Can I buy this?" Spades asked.

Bai Liu looked over, and his eyes stuttered - it was a cast-screen horror game, with guns to kill zombies, and the game bin was inside the arcade, with a dark green half-curtain hanging so that it was impossible to see inside.

The big game screen was placed outside the street, it should be a newly introduced game machine, which was in the publicity period, next to a big ON SALE-[Surprise Price: 20 dollars!

"You like ......" Bai Liu's tone became subtle, "playing horror games?"

Spades hmmm'd without hesitation.

Bai Liu paused, "This one, then."

The owner of the computer center gave Bai Liu a strange look as he walked in, "Are you sure you want to play the two-player version? But you're only one person?"

"I hit each other left and right handed." Bai Liu said expressionlessly.

Arcade owner: "......"

Line bla.

"By the way, this is a new machine, and to publicize it, the motor screen will be put on a big screen outside on the street while you play, and you'll be mobbed." The arcade owner asked, "You don't mind, do you?"

Bai Liu: "Don't mind."

"OK." The arcade owner collected the money, he lazily helped Bai Liu to lift the curtain of the game machine and snorted, "Come in."

"First of all, student cub, this new machine's game can be difficult, and you have to show off to play two-player mode, play a minute to output to, we can not refund the money."

Bai Liu's eyes swept over the game notes posted behind the curtain, "You guys get a bonus for playing this game for thirty minutes or more?"

"There is." The boss laughed out loud without much concern, "But you shouldn't be able to get it."

Bai Liu asks, "What's the reward?"

"If you play two player mode, it's all couple rewards." The owner said, "Thirty minutes or more rewards a pair of movie tickets, 45 minutes or more rewards a movie ticket plus a fifty-dollar meal voucher for the whole street."

"If you can get to an hour or more, it's a full couples' date package bonus, movie, drinks, balloons, flowers, three hundred dollars in meal vouchers."

Bai Liu lifted his eyelids, his eyes dark: "More than an hour, yes?"

This boss was stunned by Bai Liu's glance, he inexplicably felt that this glance brought out a murderous aura of determination, and stuttered a bit when he spoke back, "Yes, yes, but the current highest record for the two-player mode is thirteen minutes, and he hasn't been able to get a reward for it yet."

"And there's only one chance at this challenge ......"

Before the boss could finish his sentence, Bai Liu lifted the curtain and entered, through which the boss heard the distinguished-looking student calmly reply to him, "I only have one day off today, and I won't come back for a second challenge."

"Are both the movie tickets and meal vouchers good for today?"

"......" The owner was taken aback by this grandstanding, but replied, "It works when you win."

Does that mean you're going to win it all for him today?

How he doesn't believe it!

Twenty minutes later.

On the commercial street, the number of people surrounding a large gaming screen gradually increased, and there were constantly exclamations of surprise:

"Holy shit, that's a dope operation."

"...... Both of these guys haven't consumed a single life yet, and holy shit, is that really which one I'm playing?"

On the screen, two game characters with guns on their backs darted and bounced and marched through the empty building, the ground was covered with roaming walkers that were cleared out almost before the onlookers had a chance to get a good look at the zombies.

The point bars of both game characters, one on the left and one on the right, were climbing rapidly, as fast as if they were on.

The owner of the arcade looked stunned from the side, rubbing his eyes - if he hadn't seen Bai Liu go in alone with his own eyes, he would have almost thought that these were two of the top players coming here to practice.

"These two players' life bars are connected, isn't this couple mode?" A boy who had been spectating all along suddenly remembered and his expression became horrified, "Shit, there's not one that's a woman, is there?"

"??? What dude's girlfriend is such a dick?!"

"Grass, this operation are a few can abuse me to death, you tell me there are women?!"

The discussion below the big screen gradually skewed the topic, everyone went from being shocked at the operation of the god-level player to being curious about what the girl who played this operation actually looked like, and they all gathered around the door ready to wait for the person to come out and catch a glimpse of the real face.

Hou Tong also happened to be on vacation and came out to play, she passed by the crowded arcade was ready to walk straight through - she is not interested in these, before specifically for Bai Liu to come over here to practice horror games, less than three minutes to be scared out of the place, resulting in her now have quite a grudge against this place.

"Eh!" The girl next to Hou Tong pulled her back, she excitedly shook Hou Tong's arm, "Hou Tong wait! Look at the player's name on the big screen, is it Bai Liu!"

Hou Tong turned his head in consternation.

Sure enough, on the left side of that big screen, the player who was maneuvering nimbly had the name [Bai Liu] on top of him.

"Wait, this seems to be couple mode, right?" The girl sensed something was wrong, she glanced at Hou Tong and screamed in her heart, regretting that she had made Hou Tong stop.

Bai Liu actually came out to play couple mode with other girls!

Hou Tong shifted her gaze sharply as she looked sharply at the player's name on the right - 【 Spades 】.

????

What kind of girl names that?

An hour was up and both game characters stopped dead in their tracks, game over.

The crowd of onlookers instantly crowded over to the console exit, the group of spectators who had been watching down the street were predominantly teenage boys, just the right amount of excitement and noise to be talking and squeezing at the same time:

"It's coming out it's coming out! Bet five bucks whether this game girl master is a dinosaur or a beauty!"

"Dinosaurs!"

"Beauty!"

Under the colorful lights in the arcade, the dark green blackout curtain was slightly lifted by a fair and slender hand, and the dappled light and shadow together with the wind penetrated through this gap, blowing up the thin, soft and gentle black broken hair of the person inside.

Everyone waited with bated breath for the man to step out, and one boy even gulped nervously.

Clear neat school uniform wrapped around the slender waist, he hung eyes, long eyelashes fell on a layer of broken light, the end of his hair and collar are very damp, should be just an hour of high intensity some let him sweat a little, the collar and therefore open, can see the thin and clear line of the collarbone, the soft line of his jaw, lips crimson, complexion so white that it can be almost reflective.

Bai Liu looks up, "Boss, it's been an hour."

All the boys froze for a moment, a few even sucked in a cold breath, and one boy jumped right up and screamed, "I won the bet, I say it's a beauty!"

This appearance, appearing here, is really out of place and a bit out of place.

The boss helplessly chased away the group of boys who came to watch the fun, "There's no such thing as a pretty girl, she's a boy, she's just a guy who's playing in two-player mode, so disperse!"

"One person playing in two-player mode?!" The group of boys were both physically and mentally shaken. They stared straight at Bai Liu.

It was at this point that a closer look would confirm that the person was indeed a boy.

Bai Liu scanned them coldly across the room before reaching out to the owner, "My full couples package."

The boss helplessly gave the organized coupons to Bai Liu and said, "I don't see your girlfriend with you, so you're going to use these coupons alone?"

Bai Liu paused, "Uh-huh."

He got his voucher and turned to leave, only to be stopped by the group of boys.

A boy rushed out incoherently and blocked in front of Bai Liu, he blocked in front of Bai Liu with an expression of reverence, admiration, and delirium: "Beauty, no no no! Handsome boy, handsome boy!"

"You might as well go on a date with yourself as with me tonight, no no! It's us and one more game!"

"No more games." Bai Liu to the side.

A group of boys went along to stop over, and blocked in front of Bai Liu again, they put their hands together to make a prayer suit, their expression looked a bit pitiful: "Handsome guy, big handsome guy, take us to play a hand! Just one hand, you just played really cool."

Sensing that the group of boys in front of her bore no ill will towards them, Bai Liu paused for a moment and made a random excuse, "My coupons are all for tonight, if I don't use them they'll expire and go to waste."

"Use it, use it! Why don't you use it!" The group of boys rubbed their fists together, eyes shining, "How about we pay for a date with you and then you play games with us?"

"Who do you see in us, you pick one and we'll go to the movies now?"

"It's your turn to pay for a date with him?" Hou Tong's voice came coldly from behind, she walked up to Bai Liu with her head held high and looked down on him condescendingly, but her eyes were clearly aggravated, "You came alone to have fun, you didn't even want to bring me."

Again (?) Seeing a big beautiful girl, the group of boys once again looked dumbfounded, and the gazes they turned their heads to Bai Liu were already worshipful.

Wow, can ah this buddy, in order to play cool own dumped his girlfriend to play.

"Your girlfriend?" The boy who just accosted Bai Liu spoke in a complicated tone, "Just like you, she's a big girl."

Spades stares straight at Bai Liu: "Girlfriend?"

Bai Liu: "......"
