They were tucked into a narrow corner this time and close to each other. Ming Shu could even hear his heartbeat, smooth and powerful and unhurried.
Ming Shu slapped the boy student's hands away and kicked him.
How dare you be impolite to me!
"You..." The boy was a little angry.
Tap-tap-tap—
The sound of high-heeled shoes came from the stairs, echoing up the stairwell. The sound cut into the silence, extremely frightening.
The boy student didn't dare speak, holding his breath.
"The Upper Government has been extremely strict in relation to crime recently. I suggest we stop for some time to avoid any trouble." A woman's voice emerged. Then another set of footsteps could be heard, sounding like a man's.
"Don't worry. If we get into trouble, those who support us and deal with us would be in trouble too. So they would protect us," the man said fearlessly, his voice deep.
But the woman was still worried, saying, "I feel distraught recently. I don't know whether something is going to happen."
"You just think too much. Don't dwell."
Their footsteps echoed up the stairs, the sound of their chatter fading till it disappeared altogether.
After waiting for a while, the boy student moved back several steps, unable to see Ming Shu's expression clearly in the darkness. He rested his hands against the wall and kabe-doned Ming Shu instinctively. "Lu Meng, why did you come here?"
"To abandon a corpse."
Ming Shu hit his arm unkindly. Her thin arms and legs seemed to be powerless. But actually they were as powerful as a man's when she struck. The boy frowned in pain.
Had she eaten too much spinach?
The boy student didn't believe that Ming Shu had killed someone. He thought that she might have locked that girl here. "Which floor did you lock her in?"
"It's none of your business. You want to rescue her?" Ming Shu walked downstairs, saying with smile on her face, "If you want to rescue her, you'd better find her yourself. It's insincere of you to ask me."
The boy student glanced upstairs, then followed Ming Shu. "Did you hear the conversation just now?"
"No."
"..."
Can we have a good chat?
"Don't you think that their voices are familiar?" The boy student continued asking questions.
"Oh." What's the use of being familiar with that? It can't be eaten.
The boy was speechless. He walked besides Ming Shu, hands in his pockets. "You're lucky that you met me just now. If you met them instead, you would've died without knowing why."
"Everyone will die at some point. No need to be nervous about death." I'm going to have an evening snack later. I'm a little hungry.
"..." Was it his imagination that she didn't listen to him just now? "I suggest you not come to the old teaching building in the future. It's dangerous here."
Dangerous?
I don't know how to spell dangerous.
...
Ming Shu left the school by way of jumping over the wall and found a place to eat an evening snack. Narrowing her eyes, she looked at the boy student in front of her, asking with a smile, "Why did you follow me?"
