Chapter 501: Qiao Mu Private High School

Hou Tong let out a long breath, as if a stone had fallen from her heart that she had already known, and she looked down and wiped her eyes, "...... I know."

In fact, she knew in her heart that Bai Liu did not like her, and Bai Liu never wanted anything from her, not even an ice-cream.

It is a very distant and measured refusal.

"So all those horror games I play at home are for nothing." Hou Tong joked, "I was going to play those horror games with you at least once before I graduated senior year."

"Haven't you been playing horror games with me?" Bai Liu said calmly.

Hou Tong was confused for a moment, "When?"

Bai Liu said, "Don't you think our school is quite a horror game? Another lake, another girl falling into the water, and it feels like a serial murder is next."

Hou Tong: "......"

Bai Liu, is this some kind of scary cold joke?!

But it did scare Hou Tong. Rubbing her arms, she scrunched her neck and moved back a little more carefully, "...... My mum's still waiting for me outside the school, so I'll go first?"

"Bye." Bai Liu said, "Be careful when you go, be careful not to get followed by something dirty."

Hou Tong: "!!!"

Bai Liu stood on the first floor balcony and watched Hou Tong get into the car before withdrawing his gaze, turning his head lightly to look around the corner at the shadow of the gents.

"Now that Hou Tong is gone too, Bao Kangle, how long will you hide in the toilet and eavesdrop."

A short figure slowly emerged from the shadows of the gents, his eyes bloodshot, his hands clenched into fists by his trouser legs, a bouquet of crushed roses in his hands, and a grim look on Bai Liu's face.

Bai Liu's eyes glanced over the bouquet of roses and raised an eyebrow in recognition.

Bao Kangle is staring hard at Bai Liu, who was supposed to follow Hou Tong tonight and confess to him before risking his life for the big event, but when he arrived at the school and hid in the gents, Hou Tong confessed to Bai Liu before he could come out.

Bao Kangle, who witnessed the whole thing, had eyes that almost dripped with hate.

Bai Liu, an orphan, with nothing but a face to match, has no right to be surrounded by so many people he can't even hope to meet.

Hou Tong is like this, Fang Dian is like this, and even Lu Yizhan, the good old boy, is like this. These are the people he usually doesn't even give a glance to, but they are willing to chase after Bai Liu, begging Bai Liu to make friends with them, to fall in love with them, and to spend money on them.

And what about him? He was the son of a teacher at Qiao Mu private high school, and he was a thousand times better than Bai Liu in every way.

But what does Bao Kangle get when she follows Xu Wei's instructions to court the high status girls at school, to befriend the top students who will have bright futures, and to curry favour with the powerful and arrogant students?

All he got were looks and expressions of indifference like to a transparent person, just a few taunts and hints of explicit and implicit contempt.

Even the few powerful students who were willing to take Bao Kangle seriously were bored and bored when they teased and laughed at him to gain a sense of superiority, and if Bai Liu came along, these students were more than willing to gather around him and spend a lot of time, energy and even money teasing the orphanage student who never bowed down and was always cold to them.

Bao Kangle's status in the school is worse than that of a dog, because when a dog barks at a person, everyone looks at the dog twice, but no one looks at Bao Kangle.

For he is so uninteresting, even vulgar, that he is vulgarly snobbish to the point of tedium.

The top students are Bai Liu's best friends, the top white girls are Bai Liu's most loyal suitors, and even the top dudes are Bai Liu's favourite students to bully.

Bao Kangle has gone to great lengths to get less than a tenth of the attention that Bai Liu, the bully, has received.

He couldn't figure out where he had lost Bai Liu.

What about his grades, his family, his personality, is he not better than Bai Liu?

Bao Kangle, breathing heavily like a bull on the verge of attack, leans down, his eyes roll up, and stares at Bai Liu with a naked, hateful, but relieved look.

But two days ago, he finally figured it out.

Bao Kangle heard some key words from Xu Wei's conversation with the headmaster, and he understood that there was something special around Bai Liu, something like a prop or a ghost that possessed some kind of magic, and although Bao Kangle did not yet know what this magic was, he was sure that it was the reason why Bai Liu was invisibly He is sure that this is the reason why Bai Liu has captured everyone's attention.

"Bai Liu." Bao Kangle looked at Bai Liu and he suddenly laughed out sorrowfully, "Don't you like playing horror games? Didn't you just say that our school's Gao Kao Lake is one of the biggest horror games?"

"Do you dare to go up there with me now and have a little fun?"

"I hear you're into exciting horror games." Bao Kangle slowly lifted the key with his right hand and brought it up to his face to shake it as he grunted, "I stole the key to the gate on the hill from my mother specifically for that purpose."

"I guarantee this must be the scariest game you've ever played in your eighteen years of life."

Bao Kangle licked his dry lower lip as he stared straight at Bai Liu: "Play?"

Bai Liu barely hesitated: "No play."

Bao Kangle: "......"

Grass! This isn't what he thought it would be! Why doesn't Bai Liu play! Isn't he the one who loves exciting horror games!

Bai Liu seemed to have read Bao Kangle's inner workings from his incredulous expression, and he paused for a moment, his eyes turning to Bao Kangle in a subtle way, almost putting [how stupid you are to fall for such an obvious plot] on his face, but his words were more subtle: "The entrance exams are coming up, I have to I need to get back to the dorm and study."

"It's better not to break school rules when you're all set to graduate, fellow Bao Kangle."

Bao Kangle's face split open when he heard such law-abiding words come out of Bai Liu's mouth - what the hell are you talking about!

The student with the most infractions and the most toilet cleaning in the school is you!

When Bai Liu finished his speech, he turned around and prepared to go back to the dormitory without hesitation.

Turning back again, Bai Liu's expression took on a somewhat substantial coldness: "Like I said, fellow Bao Kangle, I can usually hang out with you, but right now I'm going back to the dorm."

At that look, Bao Kangle's neck jerked and he subconsciously withdrew his hand.

When he saw that Bai Liu was really leaving, Bao Kangle finally panicked, and in a flash he remembered a message about Bai Liu that his mother had said on the phone -

-- [Yes, Bai Liu was very fond of money, he seemed to like gambling and his classmates reported that he was not very clean-handed].

"Let's bet!" Bao Kangle snapped, raising his voice, "Whoever gets out of Gaucho Lake in one piece wins."

"The winner gets a fortune!"

Bai Liu's footsteps pause only imperceptibly.

Bao Kangle's voice turned shrill and he practically yelled, "We bet 20,000 and the winner gets 20,000!"

Bai Liu's footsteps finally stopped, but he didn't look back, just said thoughtfully, "20,000 ...... a good price."

The expression on Bao Kangle's face involuntarily became smug and disgusted: "Twenty thousand, that's enough for you to play with me, right?"

--Definitely a money-grubbing piece of work.

"Not playing." Bai Liu's tone remained light as he continued towards the stairs, "I've already turned down a deal for sixty-two million tonight, another twenty thousand wouldn't be too far off."

"I'm going back to the hostel now."

Bao Kangle froze in shock, unable to believe it as he watched Bai Liu continue down the stairs without a pause in his steps.

"Wait!" Bao Kangle followed in a panic as he looked over to Bai Liu who had already reached the corner of the stairs and followed eagerly, "20,000 won't do, how much do you want?!"

Bai Liu ignored him.

Bao Kangle is already in a state of disarray. He has promised Xu Wei and the headmaster that he can trick Bai Liu into going to the mountain tonight, and if they don't wait for him on the mountain, he will be fully responsible!

Apart from money - Bao Kangle took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down and think, apart from money, what else does Bai Liu care about?

Last night when his mother was on the phone with the headmaster, she mentioned that Bai Liu was concerned about something?

Xu Wei The hand holding the microphone is trembling: [...... Bai Liu There is a strange thing around him that follows him every day, like a ghost, there is also this thing in the sketch he drew, it looks like a ball of thread, it can't be a ghost, can it Principal?!

The headmaster impatiently replied to Xu Wei, whose voice was shaking: [That's not a ghost.

[But that's a very useful thing for Bai Liu, similar to the stuff at the bottom of the Gaucho Lake, I don't know how many times I'll use it and it'll disappear, so you pay more attention to it].

"There's something like a ball of string around you." Bao Kangle suddenly blessedly exclaimed, "That thing is going to disappear soon!"

Bai Liu's steps down the stairs stop for a moment, and he stands on the first floor landing, holding the corner of the stairs and slowly raising his eyes to look at Bao Kangle, who is standing at the entrance to the first floor stairs.

"What did you just say that goes away?"

The look in Bao Kangle's eyes almost made his back tingle, and he fought the urge to turn and run as he continued in a trembling voice.

"Just, follow that thread-like thing you have every day, that thing is the same as the thing at the bottom of Gaucho Lake, it disappears after a period of time or a certain number of uses."

"If you don't want it to go away."

Bao Kangle took a deep breath under Bai Liu's emotionless gaze, "Just take a trip to Gao Kao Lake with me."

"Get the GLC at the bottom of the lake and you'll know what that ball of string is and where it came from and where to find it."
