Chapter Twenty-Five: Shame Turns to Anger

  "Squeak squeak"

  Xiao Yan's mind was a bit dazed, and she faintly heard the creaking sound of wood rubbing against each other, soft and gentle, as if it existed and yet didn't exist...

  Eyes still closed, vision still a complete darkness, as if a footstep sound slowly came towards oneself.

  "Ling ling ling ling ling......"

  The alarm clock had been ringing for a long time before Xiaoyan finally woke up with heavy eyelids. A peaceful night, fortunately, except for the occasional creaking of wood in the distance, there was nothing unusual. It seems that increasing the dose of sleeping pills is still effective, but the aftereffect is Xiaoyan's extremely heavy eyelids that are almost impossible to lift.

  Xiao Yan let out a deep sigh and walked towards the bathroom to wash her face with cold water, driving away her drowsiness.

  In the cold winter, the biting wind was like a sandstorm, bringing a chill that pierced through Xiaoyan's thin sleeves and collar, causing her to subconsciously pull her clothes tighter.

  "Yan'er - wait for me - "

  Xiao Yan heard a woman's shout from behind her, stopped in her tracks and turned around.

  Xian Ju rushed over and stopped beside Xiao Yan, supporting her shoulder with one hand, panting heavily.

  "Xian Qi? What's wrong?"

  "It's okay, let's go to school together." Xian Qi said with a wave of her hand after resting and recovering.

  "Hmm." Xiaoyan smiled sweetly and let Xianqi pull her into the school gate. She thought to herself that Xianqi was indeed a lovely and lively person, making people unable to help but laugh.

  Before they even entered the school gate, a tall and slender figure blocked their way. Looking up, they saw a woman wearing high heels, with light makeup on her face, and a good figure, standing with her hands crossed over her chest, followed by several female students of the same grade. The leading woman, who was proud and disdainful, was Yan Xi. She had an evil smile on her mouth, took slow steps to walk in front of Xian Qi and Xiao Yan, looked at Xiao Yan with contempt, and then turned her gaze to Xian Qi beside Xiao Yan, smiling and saying:

  "New classmate, haven't you noticed that you're the only one who's friends with Tong Xiaoyan?"

  Xian Qi looked at the woman in front of her, who was blooming like a flower and beautiful, and a hint of displeasure emerged from the bottom of her heart. She restrained the smile on her lips and replied perfunctorily: "Of course I know."

  Yan Xi leaned in close to Xian Qi, curled up the corners of her mouth, and whispered into Xian Qi's ear in a voice that only the three of them could hear:

  "Do you want to know why?"

  Xiao Yan's chest suddenly tightened, fearing that the only 'friend' who was willing to get close to her would leave again like the others. Her body began to tremble and her face turned pale. Seeing Xiao Yan's expression, Yan Xi's smile grew thicker, and without waiting for Xian Mei's response, he spoke slowly:

  "Because, people close to her are lightly ill and heavily dead. This is 'extreme yin body', born with it, who dares to get close? Don't say I didn't warn you, I'm also kind-hearted." After saying that, Yan Xi stepped back a few steps with his hands around his chest, staring straight at Xiao Yan's pale face, and the people behind him were all watching with a look of enjoying the show.

  "Hahaha...... Hahahahaha......"

  Xian Qi heard Yan Xi's words, suddenly covering her stomach and bursting into laughter. Xiao Yan and Yan Xi looked at each other in confusion as she laughed uncontrollably with her waist bent. Has this girl gone crazy?

  After a while, Xian Qi finally restrained her laughter, the corners of her mouth curved into a deep arc, and she stroked her temples with both hands, smoothing out her slightly curled short hair, clearing her throat a few times in a slow and measured tone.

  "You're kidding me, right? Are you possessed by some evil spirit? Haha, I'm dying from laughter. You actually believe in this kind of street scam? It's a shame you've read so many books for years, are you suddenly going to trust some fortune teller who says your whole family is cursed just because they said so?"

  Xiao Yan heard this and suddenly put down her raised heart, holding back a smile.

  Yan Xi couldn't get a word in edgewise, was speechless and furious, his teeth itching with rage.

  "You...... you......"

  Xian Qi didn't wait for Yan Xi to finish, and pulled Xiao Yan around them, directly entering the school gate. Leaving Yan Xi alone, furious and shouting loudly, several girls held back their laughter and went forward to comfort her.

  "I'm so angry I could die! You're the one who's being unreasonable, you ungrateful child! Xiaoyan Tong! Wait for me!"

  Yan Xi, regardless of his image, was wildly scolding outside the school gate. After realizing that this was in a public place, he again inwardly cursed Xiaoyan's eighteen ancestors, thinking about how to make Xiaoyan lose face and restore his own dignity.
