Chapter 21: Playing Hooky

  The next day, Gu Mò Níng and Sū Xiǎo woke up with puffy eyes, like two meatballs. Gu Mò Níng could still see her eyeballs, but Sū Xiǎo's eyes were so swollen that only a slit was left. "Ah~ Mò Níng, it's all your fault! I'm such an idiot for crying with you, now I look like this and can't even go out in public!" Sū Xiǎo looked at her reflection in the mirror and couldn't bear to look anymore. The masterpiece on her face was entirely due to Gu Mò Níng's excessive crying last night, and she didn't know how to comfort her, so she just cried along with her. As a result, they both cried until midnight. Sū Xiǎo waited for Gu Mò Níng to cry herself to sleep before falling asleep herself, but she was even more miserable than Gu Mò Níng.

  "Xiǎo Xiǎo, how about we skip school today?" "You want to die? We just took a day off yesterday and now you want to take another one? You're not afraid of Old Witch telling your parents." "Ahh, Xiǎo Xiǎo, don't worry! I'm not doing anything bad. Let's go out and have some fun, okay?" Gu Mò Níng saw that Sū Xiǎo was in a bad mood, so she immediately became flattering, grabbing her arm and shaking it nonstop, speaking in a soft and coquettish tone.

  Sū Xiǎo saw Gu Mò Níng's behavior and her mouth twitched involuntarily. She thought about pushing Gu Mò Níng away, but then remembered that this silly girl had just gone through a breakup, so she let it slide. "Okay, where do you want to go? But if anything happens, you're responsible for getting us out of trouble." Gu Mò Níng nodded enthusiastically, but in her heart, she knew Sū Xiǎo was just saying that. If something really happened, Sū Xiǎo would definitely not take responsibility alone.

  Sū Xiǎo suddenly thought of something and looked at Gu Mò Níng seriously. "Wait, even if we tell Old Witch you're sick, without a doctor's note, we can't leave school." "Who says we need a doctor's note to leave?" Sū Xiǎo was shocked by Gu Mò Níng's words and wondered what she meant. Gu Mò Níng grinned mischievously, her eyes sparkling with a sly glint.

  "We can just climb over the wall and sneak out!" Gu Mò Níng winked at Sū Xiǎo repeatedly, who rolled her eyes in exasperation. "Fine, do what you want. Just hope nothing goes wrong." Unfortunately, they forgot that their seniors had summarized a phrase from their own bitter experiences: "Ideals are plump, reality is bony."

  Sneaking all the way to the edge of the school wall. Gu Mengning, who had been excited all along, suddenly felt a little scared, yet also looked forward to it.

  Su Xiao was also doing something bad for the first time. As soon as she saw the wall, she couldn't wait to climb up. She was half a head taller than Gu Mo Ning and climbed up very easily.

  But when I went up, I saw that the wall outside was actually twice as low as the school, which means that the wall seen from the outside was a full two times higher than inside the school.

  Hai's Su Xiao suddenly felt her legs go weak, her face turned pale, and she sat down on the wall with a frightened heart, unable to return to school or jump.

  Gu Merning was still excitedly urging Su Xiaola to go up under the wall.

  Su Xiao glanced at the distant and inaccessible land outside the wall, then turned her head back to look at Gu Mo Ning. She opened her mouth, but ultimately chose silence.

  Let's get Manning up here first.

  "Hey, isn't this Gu Da, the school flower and academic overachiever, the teacher's favorite student? What are you doing here today instead of in class? You're not here to catch us students who sneak out, are you?"

  It's those girls again!

  The speaker was a green-haired girl who was slightly plump but not very tall.

  Gu Muer Ning glanced at them briefly, didn't want to bother with them, and quickly climbed over the wall.

  But why is it so high outside, oh my god!

  Gu Muren stared at Su Xiao in shock, while Su Xiao had an expression that said "you're on your own, don't ask me" and looked like she didn't care about his situation.

  "Haha, so even study gods have moments of climbing over walls too! How did you get up there without jumping? Are you scared?"

  The group of girls all chimed in and burst out laughing.

  Su Xiao was about to scold, but was pulled back by Gu Mo Ning. Gu Mo Ning secretly gritted her teeth, she was also very angry, but she didn't want to have a conflict with them here.

  Gu Merning kept consoling herself, they just didn't understand things, don't bother with a group of green-haired brats who don't know what's going on.

  Chang took a deep breath, glanced outside the wall, and then looked at Su Xiao. Seeing that Su Xiao's face was pale, he guessed she must have been scared too, so he directly pulled her and jumped back into the school.

  Su Xiao looked at Gu Mo Ning with a shocked face, somewhat unable to understand what was going on and how they had jumped into the school again.

  "Xiao Xiao, go back to your dorm."

  "Hey, what's wrong? You're scared just seeing us, aren't you? Afraid to jump? With a nerve that small, how dare you learn from us skipping class?"

  Su Xiao's temper flared up again, and she was about to start scolding when Gu Mo Ning quickly pulled her away from the scene.

  After walking a bit further, Gu Mò Níng's hand relaxed slightly. Sū Xiǎo suddenly shook off Gu Mò Níng, "Mò Níng, why are you holding onto me? That group of bitches is just begging to be taught a lesson. Look at what they're saying, it's so infuriating!"

  "Xiao Xiao, you also know they're idiots. Since that's the case, why bother arguing with a group of idiots and lowering your own level?"

  Su Xiao helplessly rolled her eyes, fine, when it comes to verbal sparring, no one can beat Gu Mo Ning. She admitted defeat. Anyway, she was too lazy to waste her breath scolding a group of idiots and damaging her image.

  Su Xiao and Gu Mo Ning returned to the dormitory secretly. As soon as Gu Mo Ning entered the door, he fell on the bed, looking tired.

  Su Xiao let out a soft sigh, shook her head and followed her. She also took off her clothes and shoes and lay on the bed, yesterday night was really exhausting for her, she should just rest well.

  Su Xiao closed her eyes to take a nap, but suddenly the bed creaked slightly. She opened her eyes to see Gu Mo Ning's awkward face in front of her, and helplessly rolled her eyes, "Come on up, let's sleep together."

  "Mmm." Gu Mò Níng was overjoyed and nodded enthusiastically, causing Su Xiǎo to feel dizzy. She directly pressed down on Gu Mò Níng's head, "Go to sleep quickly."

  Two people who have entered a deep sleep are completely unaware that the school has been turned upside down over their matter, while the parties involved are still sleeping soundly.

  Is it cool? How is he? What's wrong with him, always staring at himself. "Hey, what are you doing?"

  Not speaking? What's wrong with you? Won't be that she beat you stupid that day and now you can't even speak, right?

  Why are you smiling so ugly, it's terrifying to look at, and it gives me goosebumps. And yet, he's still smiling and staring at her while getting closer to her!

  "Hey, what's wrong with you? Don't come over here."

  "Ah~"

  Su Xiao woke up to find herself drenched in cold sweat, fortunately it was just a dream. But why did she have to dream about that despicable Qi Liang, and even more infuriatingly, get kissed by him again in the dream, how annoying.

  And she didn't even hit him just now, it's too much, she should have beaten him severely. Anyway, it's in a dream, so even if you kill someone, you don't have to take responsibility.

  Su Xiao regretfully used her hand to tap the bed board, and suddenly her left hand touched something soft, and she quickly withdrew her strength.

  It's all over, I've been beaten by Morning.
