At the first light of dawn, Gu Hai was awoken by the stentorian sound of an alarm resonating throughout the room. Out of habit, he felt around for his cell phone, only to discover that it hasn't sounded off yet. He got up to look around and when he found the wretched culprit that refused to be silenced, he pressed it for a long while. Yet, even then it still didn't die down. It was then that he noticed the riddles appearing on the surface; bewildered, his eye shot open beckoning him to start and solve the problems.

The system of this particular alarm clock that Bai Luo Yin had purchased was even more advance and high tech. All the topics and riddles were especially set up by him. At that time, from daylight to the rising night, Bai Luo Yin had personally searched about for these topics. At the very least, these were all slightly difficult for him. As a result, even after this miserable comrade Gu Hai whined and played with it for 20 minutes, he still couldn't figure it out. In the end, even Bai Luo Yin was awoken by it.

"Go wash your face and brush your teeth first. Let me solve it."

Their plan to buy breakfast was utterly shattered by the time they were ready. Without any better option, they improvised and had a slice of bread instead.

"Why did you buy an alarm clock like this?" Gu Hai asked casually.

Bai Luo Yin didn't even bother putting much thought into it and easily replied, "I saw it at You Qi's and thought that it was fun so I bought it."

Young Master Gu's brain was always tightly bind and tense so even if the slight thing caused it to stir, it'll immediately make a huge comeback.

"You saw it at You Qi's?"

Bai Luo Yin's expression became a bit lethargic. After mentally cursing himself for his own thoughtless words, he lightly coughed. The tone of his voice was mixed with a sense of indifference once he spoke again.

"Yeah, You Qi moved off campus. Yang Meng and I went over to give him some things and I saw it unintentionally."

Gu Hai merely nodded his head, not asking anything else.

Having been away for three weeks, this was Gu Hai's first time entering the classroom again.

The instant Bai Luo Yin pushed the door open and enter, You Qi subconsciously looked towards the door. As a result, his eyes incidentally met with Gu Hai. Before, when he saw the two of them together, he never had any feeling towards it. But, since he and Bai Luo Yin became closer during the past few days, no matter how he thought of it now, seeing the two of them together just didn't feel right.

Therefore, after class he went to look for Yang Meng again.

Every time a situation arises, You Qi would willingly seek out Yang Meng. There were two reasons for this: first, he was Bai Luo Yin's best friend. Through him, he would be able to get the most profound understanding of Bai Luo Yin. Second, he was quite stupid. Generally, after chatting with him for a while, whatever dissatisfaction you felt, it wasn't as dissatisfying as chatting with him.

"Can we not chat in this kind of place every single time huh?"

Yang Meng's hand was pressed against the record's room door. Every time he spoke, he would gaze attentively at the deceased former headmaster's portrait hanging nearby.

This time, You Qi who would normally stand, crouched down instead. The sound of his voice was even more cold and gloomy than that of the deceased person's face.
