Early the next morning, news that a transfer student was coming spread through Class One.
The boys hoped the transfer student would be a pretty girl, while the girls hoped it would be a handsome boy.
Of course, there was also a group of people who had already heard through the grapevine whether the newcomer was male or female, but they enjoyed stirring up the excitement anyway.
Lu Xiaoran nudged Su Ning and whispered, “Ning Ning, Zhao Yuan didn’t come to class today.”
Su Ning followed Lu Xiaoran’s gaze and glanced over.
There was an empty seat in the classroom.
It should have been Zhao Yuan’s.
Lu Xiaoran said mysteriously, “I heard something happened in the boys’ dormitory yesterday.”
Su Ning lowered her voice as well.
“What happened?”
“The boys in Dormitory 404 went back to their room after evening study, and they saw a whole floor covered in bloody human organs…”
Su Ning asked curiously, “Were they making hot pot in the dormitory?”
“Oh, come on!
They’re not animal organs.
They’re human organs!”
Su Ning covered her mouth and let out an exaggerated, “Wow.”
Lu Xiaoran knew that Su Ning was treating this like another story.
She couldn’t help continuing in a vivid tone.
“As soon as those boys opened the door, they smelled blood.
They kept walking inside, and then they saw bloody organs in the bathroom.
They were so scared they almost lost their wits.
They immediately went to find a teacher, and the teacher went to find the principal.”
Su Ning asked, “Did they call the police afterward?”
Lu Xiaoran shook her head.
“The students in that dormitory were terrified, so the teacher called their parents.
But their families all said they didn’t have time to come pick them up and told them to study properly at school.”
Speaking of which, the parents of the students at this school all seemed to have an unusually strong obsession with studying.
It had always been like this.
Even if something happened to a student, as long as they could still jump around and move, their parents wouldn’t choose to take them home.
It was almost as if they had simply thrown their children here to fend for themselves.
Su Ning asked, “What happened after that?”
“Afterward, the teacher temporarily moved those students to another dormitory, but they probably won’t be coming to class for the next few days.
They just want to get some rest.” Lu Xiaoran lowered her voice even further.
“Ning Ning, do you know what the important part of this is?”
Su Ning lowered her voice too.
“What is it?”
“Zhao Yuan is also in Dormitory 404, and he hasn’t appeared even once since last night.” Lu Xiaoran got goosebumps just saying it.
She looked around and said fearfully, “Ning Ning, I suspect our school really has ghosts.”
Su Ning looked shocked.
“Really?”
The moment Lu Xiaoran saw Su Ning’s exaggerated acting, she knew Su Ning hadn’t believed her at all.
She was secretly annoyed.
“How many supernatural incidents have happened at our school?
And how many people have mysteriously disappeared from here?”
Su Ning asked strangely, “Didn’t you used to say there were ghosts haunting the girls’ dormitory?
I’ve been living there perfectly fine.
So why are there ghosts in the boys’ dormitory now?”
Lu Xiaoran stammered, “Well…
maybe if a ghost stays in one place for too long, it’ll want to walk around a little.
Maybe it went over to the boys’ dormitory to visit!”
Su Ning said mysteriously, “Xiaoran, let me tell you a secret.”
Lu Xiaoran listened attentively.
“What?”
Su Ning said, “Schools are usually built on graveyards.”
Lu Xiaoran: “…”
Oh no.
She wasn’t going to be able to sleep tonight!
The bell for morning study rang at just the right moment.
The teacher walked in with a girl.
The girl looked pure and cute.
Seeing so many unfamiliar faces, she seemed a little reserved, but she still tried her best to speak naturally.
“Hello, everyone.
My name is Lu Zhizhi.
I hope everyone will take good care of me from now on.”
The girls gave a few lazy claps, while the boys erupted into thunderous applause.
They were used to seeing dazzling beauties like Su Ning every day.
Having a pure, unpretentious girl around for a change wasn’t bad either.
Lu Xiaoran had already gathered information about the transfer student.
“Lu Zhizhi comes from an ordinary family.
Some time ago, her father suddenly won the lottery and became a nouveau riche.
He spent quite a lot of money just to get Lu Zhizhi into our school.”
In short, she was a girl without much of a background.
Someone like her could easily become a target in a school like this if she made even one wrong move.
Su Ning could confirm it now.
Lu Zhizhi was the heroine.
Her sense of crisis suddenly intensified.
After class, a girl with long, straight black hair walked in from outside the classroom.
She smiled sincerely at Su Ning.
“Ning Ning, I heard there’s a new student in your class.
All the girls at school are sisters, so we decided to hold a welcome party for the new student tonight.
Are you coming?”
Today was Friday.
Even though tomorrow was Saturday, the school didn’t give the students a day off.
However, from Friday through Sunday nights, students were allowed to move around freely on campus.
The girl’s name was Bu Zhongyao.
She was the class beauty of the neighboring class.
She had always been overshadowed by Su Ning, and their relationship was rather complicated.
The thing she loved doing most was finding ways to make her presence known.
Just because Class One had gotten a new student, why was she taking the lead in organizing some kind of welcome party?
Incidentally, the person who had previously spread rumors that Su Ning’s face was fake and that she was trying to seduce someone else’s boyfriend was also Bu Zhongyao.
Su Ning glanced to the other side.
Several girls Bu Zhongyao had brought with her were already chatting with the new student in a friendly manner.
They were so enthusiastic that they looked like biological sisters despite having no blood relation at all.
Bu Zhongyao suddenly remembered something and added with a smile, “Oh, right.
I also invited some of the students from our class.
Shen Ji should be coming too, right?”
Su Ning smiled.
“You’re inviting me to the party you’re organizing?”
Bu Zhongyao said, “Of course.
We’re good sisters, after all.
Naturally, I have to invite you.”
Su Ning drawled leisurely, “Then you should know that I have very high standards when it comes to parties.
At the parties I used to hold, everything was the best in the world.
Zhongyao, you’re my good sister, so you absolutely can’t lower the standard of the party or bring down our sisters’ level.
Otherwise, people will laugh at us.”
Bu Zhongyao’s smile stiffened for a moment.
Who didn’t know that Su Ning spent money like water?
The money she used to spend on a single party was enough to cover several months of living expenses for everyone in their circle.
But she had already put herself out there, and Bu Zhongyao couldn’t possibly admit that she couldn’t compare with Su Ning.
So she smiled and said, “I definitely won’t disappoint you.
Don’t worry.”
After Bu Zhongyao left with her friends, Lu Xiaoran said to Su Ning, “That bitch actually invited you to the party.
She definitely has some ulterior motive.
Ning Ning, I heard that the boyfriend she found has his eyes on you.”
Su Ning picked up a utility knife and made several clicking sounds with it.
“If he’s not afraid of me physically castrating him, he can make his intentions even bolder.”
Lu Xiaoran felt a phantom pain in a certain place.
At lunchtime, the cafeteria was bustling.
Shen Ji sat beside Su Ning, staring at her without blinking, looking at her with an expectant gaze.
Su Ning flipped through his copybook.
After confirming that he had indeed obediently written two full pages, she picked up the chicken leg from her tray and put it into his bowl.
“Not bad.
Keep it up.”
A smile immediately appeared on Shen Ji’s face.
He took a big bite of the chicken leg and said indistinctly, “Ning Ning, I studied until really late yesterday.”
Su Ning put the sweet-and-sour ribs from her tray into his bowl as well.
Shen Ji liked meat, especially sweet meat.
She didn’t hesitate to praise him.
“Shen Ji, you’re amazing.
Studying so hard must have been tiring.
Eat more.”
Shen Ji nodded.
“Mm, I’ll eat more!”
Su Ning glanced to the side and suddenly asked, “Do you feel anything when you look at that girl?”
He was busy gnawing on the chicken leg and didn’t even look up.
“No feeling.”
He was obviously just brushing her off.
Su Ning held his face and turned him toward Lu Zhizhi, who was sitting on the other side.
She asked again, “What about now?
How do you feel when you look at her?”
Shen Ji looked confused.
“What feeling?”
“That kind of…” Su Ning imitated the way he had described it before.
“That kind of feeling where you want to eat her.”
He looked aggrieved.
“Ning Ning, I’m a picky eater.
I don’t eat just anything.
Other than you, I don’t want to eat anyone else.”
Su Ning looked into his Bambi-like eyes, and her heart melted.
She immediately generously lifted her tray and put all the meat from her plate into his.
Shen Ji looked at the meat piled in his bowl, his eyes brimming with emotion.
“Ning Ning, you’re so nice.”
Su Ning sat close beside him.
“We agreed, didn’t we?
From now on, you’re only allowed to eat me.
You can’t eat anyone else.”
Shen Ji nodded firmly.
He grabbed Su Ning’s hand, pressed it against his face, and happily rubbed against it.
Then he solemnly promised, “I won’t eat anyone else.
I’ll only eat Ning Ning.
If I lie, then let me be torn apart.”
Su Ning: “…”
Her boyfriend really had a unique way of swearing an oath.
But…
He was so cute!
She smiled happily and rubbed his face.
He seemed a little ticklish and let out a soft laugh.
