Chapter 501: Qiao Mu Private High School

Hou Tong let out a long breath, it was like a big stone in her heart that she already knew had fallen to the ground, she looked down and wiped her eyes, "...... I know."

In fact, she knew in her heart that Bai Liu didn't like her, Bai Liu never wanted anything from her, even an ice-cream.

It was a very distanced and measured rejection.

"Then all those horror games I played at home were for nothing." Hou Tong joked, "I was going to play those horror games with you at least once before I graduated senior year."

"Haven't you been playing horror games with me?" Bai Liu said calmly.

Hou Tong was confused for a moment, "When?"

Bai Liu said, "Don't you think our school is a horror game? Another high school lake, another girl falling into the water, it feels like serial murders are next."

Hou Tong: "......"

Bai Liu Is this some kind of horrible sneer?

But it is true that she was frightened Hou Tong rubbed her arms, she shrunk her neck, and carefully moved back a little, "...... My mom is still waiting for me outside the school, so I'll go first?"

"Bye." Bai Liu said, "Be careful when you go, and don't be followed by dirty things."

Hou Tong: "!!!"

Hou Tong took out the volleyball team's long-distance running training posture, and ran towards the school entrance without looking back, Bai Liu stood on the second floor balcony and watched Hou Tong get into the car before withdrawing his own line of sight, and he turned his head to look towards the corner shadow of the men's restroom with a light expression:

"Now that Hou Tong is gone, Bao Kangle, how long will you hide in the toilet to eavesdrop."

In the corner of the men's restroom, a short figure slowly walked out from the shadows, his eyes bloodshot, his hand clenched into a fist next to his pants leg, holding a bunch of crushed roses in his hand, looking at Bai Liu with a fierce expression.

Bai Liu's eyes swept over the bouquet of roses and raised an eyebrow in realization.

Bao Kangle is staring at Bai Liu, he was supposed to follow Hou Tong tonight, ready to confess to Hou Tong before risking his life for the big event, but he didn't expect to follow Hou Tong to the school, and before he had time to come out of the men's restroom, Hou Tong confessed to Bai Liu.

Bao Kangle, who witnessed the whole thing, had eyes so full of hate that they could have dripped blood.

Bai Liu, an orphan with nothing but a face, why should he be surrounded by so many people he can't hope to meet.

Hou Tong is like this, Fang Dian is like this, even the good old man honors student Lu Yizhan is also like this, these people usually he greeted the eyes will not give more than one, but is willing to wishful thinking chasing after Bai Liu, begging Bai Liu and their friends, love, spend money upside down are willing to.

And him? He's obviously the son of a teacher at Qiao Mu private high school, and he's a thousand times better than Bai Liu in every way.

But what does Bao Kangle get when he follows Xu Wei's instructions to pursue girls of high status in the school, to befriend honor students with bright futures, and to curry favor with powerful and arrogant students?

All he got were looks and expressions of indifference as if to a transparent person, just a few taunts and innuendos that were explicitly and implicitly looked down upon.

Even the few powerful students who were willing to pay attention to Bao Kangle would find it boring and tedious to tease and laugh at him to gain a sense of superiority, and if Bai Liu appeared at that moment, these students would be more than willing to surround Bai Liu and spend a lot of time, energy, and even money to tease this orphanage student who never bowed his head and was always cold to them.

Bao Kangle's status in the school can be said to be worse than that of a dog, because even when a dog barks at people, everyone looks at the dog, but no one looks at Bao Kangle.

Because he's so boring, even vulgar, he's vulgarly snobbish to the point of tedium.

The top honors students are Bai Liu's best friends, the top rich white women are Bai Liu's most loyal suitors, and even the top dude's favorite student to bully is Bai Liu.

Bao Kangle has gone to great lengths to get even less than a tenth of the attention of Bai Liu, who was bullied.

He couldn't figure out what he lost to Bai Liu.

Regardless of his grades, his family background, and how he handles himself, in what way is he not better than Bai Liu?

Bao Kangle, breathing heavily like a bull on the verge of an attack, bent his body down, the whites of his eyes rolled upward, and he stared at Bai Liu with a naked, hateful, but relieved look in his eyes.

But two days ago, he finally figured it out.

Bao Kangle vaguely heard some key words from the conversation between Xu Wei and the principal, he understood that there was something special around Bai Liu, this special thing was like some kind of prop, or a ghost, possessing some kind of magical power, although Bao Kangle didn't understand what this kind of magical power was, he was sure that this was the reason why Bai Liu attracted everyone's attention in the invisible world. Although Bao Kangle doesn't understand what this magic is, he is sure that this is the reason why Bai Liu attracts everyone's attention in an invisible way.

"Bai Liu." Bao Kangle looked at Bai Liu as he suddenly laughed out sorrowfully, "Don't you like playing horror games? Didn't you just say that our school's Gao Gao Lake is one of the biggest horror games?"

"Do you dare to go up there with me now and have some fun?"

"I've heard you're into exciting horror games." Bao Kangle slowly lifted the key with his right hand and mentioned it to his face and waved it around as he grunted, "For that reason, I stole the key to the gate on the mountain from my mom."

"I can guarantee this will be the scariest game you've ever played in your eighteen years of life."

Bao Kangle licked his dry lower lip as he stared straight at Bai Liu: "Playing?"

Bai Liu hardly hesitated, "No game."

Bao Kangle: "......"

Grass! It's not what he thought! Why doesn't Bai Liu play! Isn't exciting horror games his favorite!

Bai Liu seemed to read Bao Kangle's inner activities from his incredible expression, he paused for a moment, sweeping Bao Kangle's eyes became subtle, almost putting on his face [How stupid are you to want me to fall for such an obvious plot], but the words he spoke were more subtle: "The college entrance exams will be coming up soon, I have to hurry back to the dormitory to study. hurry back to the dormitory to study."

"It's graduation time, it's better not to break school rules, fellow Bao Kangle."

Hearing such law-abiding words coming out of Bai Liu's mouth, Bao Kangle's face cracked - Damn it is what you should say!

The student with the most infractions in the whole school and the most punishment for cleaning toilets is you!

After seeing Bai Liu finish his speech, he turned around without hesitation and prepared to go back to the dormitory, Bao Kangle was anxious, he violently took two steps forward and was ready to grab Bai Liu's wrist, but Bai Liu's quick hands dodged it.

Turning back again, Bai Liu's demeanor took on some substantial coldness, "Like I said, Fellow Bao Kangle, normally I could play along with you, but right now I'm going back to the dorm."

With that look, Bao Kangle's neck snapped and he subconsciously withdrew his hand.

Seeing Bai Liu really want to leave, Bao Kangle finally panicked, and in a flash he remembered a piece of information his mom had said on the phone about Bai Liu--

-[Yes, Bai Liu is very fond of money, he seems to be fond of gambling, and classmates report that his hands and feet are not very clean].

"We'll bet!" Bao Kangle snapped, pulling up his voice, "Whoever gets out of Gaucho Lake in one piece wins."

"The winner gets a fortune!"

Bai Liu's footsteps paused only imperceptibly.

Bao Kangle's voice was so shrill he was practically yelling, "We'll bet 20,000 that the winner gets 20,000!"

Bai Liu s footsteps finally stopped, but he did not look back, just said thoughtfully, "Twenty thousand ...... good price."

Bao Kangle's face couldn't help but look smug and disgusted, "Twenty thousand dollars, is that enough for you to play with me?"

--Really is a money-grubbing piece of shit.

"No game." Bai Liu's tone remained light as he continued to walk towards the stairs, "I've already turned down a sixty-two million dollar deal tonight, turning down twenty thousand more wouldn't hurt."

"I'm going back to my dorm now."

Bao Kangle froze in shock as he watched in disbelief as Bai Liu continued down the stairs without a single footstep.

"Wait!" Bao Kangle followed in a hurry, he looked towards Bai Liu who had already walked to the corner of the stairs and eagerly followed, "Twenty thousand won't do, how much do you need?!"

Bai Liu ignored him.

Bao Kangle was already in a state of confusion, he promised Xu Wei and the principal that he could trick Bai Liu into going to the mountain tonight, and that if they couldn't wait for him on the mountain, he would be solely responsible!

Besides money - Bao Kangle Take a deep breath and force yourself to calm down and think, besides money, what else does Bai Liu care about?

When his mom was on the phone with the principal last night, she mentioned that Bai Liu was on to something.

Xu Wei's hand on the microphone is trembling: [...... Bai Liu There's a strange thing around him that follows him every day, like a ghost, and there's this thing in the sketch drawings he did, it looks like a ball of thread, it can't be a ghost, can it, Principal?!

The principal impatiently replied to Xu Wei, whose voice was shaking: [That's not a ghost.]

[But that's a very useful contraption for Bai Liu, it's similar to the stuff at the bottom of the high school lake, I don't know how many times I'll use it and it'll disappear, so pay more attention to it.]

"There's a thread-like thing around you." Bao Kangle suddenly blurted out in a blessed voice, "That thing is going to be gone soon!"

Bai Liu's steps down the stairs stopped for a moment, and he stood on the jogging platform of the second floor, holding the corner of the stairs and slowly raising his eyes to look at Bao Kangle, who stood at the entrance of the stairs on the second floor:

"Did you just say that something would disappear?"

The look in Bao Kangle's eyes almost made his back tingle, and he tried his best to resist the urge to turn and run as he spoke in a shaky voice:

"Just, follow you every day with that thread-like thing, that thing is the same as the one at the bottom of the Gaucho Lake, which disappears after a certain period of time or a certain number of uses."

"If you don't want it to go away."

Bao Kangle took a deep breath under Bai Liu's emotionless gaze, "Just take a trip with me to Gao Kao Lake."

"Get the gauntlet at the bottom of the lake and you'll know what that ball of string is, and you'll know where it came from and where to find it."
