Chapter 70 I’ll teach you

Ning Meng had never expected such a scene.

When she had just possessed Ningning in the past, she had also thought of the possibility she might be exposed by Shi Qi.

At that time, her thoughts were to naturally fool him. In any case, he was only a teenager back then, so it would have been a piece of cake.

But now he was an adult.

When the light of the screen went out, those two words naturally disappeared.

Faced with Shi Qi’s green eyes, she suddenly couldn’t find the words to speak and could only stand there mutely.

The swimming pool remained very quiet and tranquil, but not terrifying.

Ning Meng couldn’t think of an excuse in time so she laughed and said in a low voice, “…Um…I just typed it in casually… You know how Gu Nanqian is always so nosy…”

She always felt that Shi Qi still had something to say, but she did not dare to ask him. If she were to be interrogated again, she would be exposed.

Shi Qi seemed to disregard her expression and said bluntly, “We can’t stay here for long.”

Ning Meng then recovered her senses, “Oh yes, that’s right, let’s go!”

She had been knocked out today, and though she didn’t know why she was brought here, that person hadn’t done anything to her and actually controlled Gu Nanqian to deal with her instead, and the reason remained unknown.

Was it because he couldn’t deal with her himself?

In an instant, several thoughts passed through Ning Meng’s head but she couldn’t be sure about any of them so she eventually dropped the thought.

Seeing Shi Qi’s straight and proud back, she couldn’t help but ask, “Do you know who’s responsible for this?”

For some reason, she felt that the culprit might have something to do with the sick murderer, despite it being just her instinct.

Shi Qi replied, “I don’t know.”

Even though Ning Meng wanted to ask more questions, in the end, she stopped herself from doing so.

She was taken to the nearest hospital, and although it was very late at night, there was still a doctor on duty inside.

The doctor looked at her for a while and asked, “How did you lose your tooth?”

Ning Meng casually came up with an excuse.

Fortunately, the tooth she had lost was not of the front teeth, so the leaking of wind was not too serious, but it was still very uncomfortable to speak with a gap in her mouth.

The doctor did not doubt her words, and asked, “Do you still have the original tooth with you? If it were your own teeth, it would be better and easier to fix.”

Ning Meng glanced awkwardly at Shi Qi.

Shi Qi said innocently, “You threw it yourself.”

Ning Meng said, “…” Of course she knew that.

At that time, he was still holding the tooth in his hand, it even had blood stains on it, which naturally looked a bit disgusting, so she threw it away without any thought.

As soon as the doctor saw her reaction, he knew that she had definitely lost it, so he recommended several options.

Ning Meng was confused listening to him, and also couldn’t understand him as well.

In the end, Shi Qi made the decisions.

It was already very late by the time they came out and her cheeks bulged out. She was still wearing the mask but felt uncomfortable.

Shi Qi seemed to sense it and sighed, lowering his voice a lot. “For the next few days, try to eat less and listen to the doctor.”

Ning Meng pursed her lips in aggrievement.

Wasn’t not letting her eat making her suffer more? If there was no food in one’s life, then what was the point of living?

Shi Qi raised his arm, his fingertips touching her tender skin, seeing many injuries covering her slender, white wrist.

His eyes darkened slightly, but in the end, he didn’t say anything. He shifted his sight to her pretty fair face and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the figure possessing the body was not injured.

Shi Qi lowered his eyes slightly, “If you listen to me, I will give you candy to eat in two days.”

“…” Ning Meng looked at him incredulously.

Did he think she was a kindergartener?

The black bright eyes above the mask looked beautiful, as though they were shining. At this moment, because they were looking at him wide in surprise, there was an unexpected cuteness to it.

Shi Qi’s eyebrows unfurled, and the corners of his lips rose up.

No one knew what happened in the swimming pool as everyone’s attention was focused on the corpse found in the back mountain.

This incident really gave rise to panic amongst the students.

Several students asked for a holiday to return home, no longer able to remain at school.

The swimming pool incident half a month ago had not been resolved, and the police also did not give any useful answers.

But because there were new incidents happening every day, and this swimming pool incident happened several days ago with only a few witnesses, it quickly became forgotten.

But the matter regarding the back of the mountain was enough to stir alarm.

A student was buried alive, and no one had even noticed it. It was only discovered because a foreign teacher was conducting class. No matter how it was talked about, it was still very scary.

Ning Meng also saw relevant information regarding the back mountain incident on the forum.

Because there were a lot of people who saw it at that time, the pictures they managed to take numbered a lot more than the previous swimming pool incident and had also circulated a lot as well.

The pictures were the same as what she saw, and there were supplements as well.

At that time, the picture she saw was just the hair covering the face, while the post on the forum attached some photos of the hair being pulled away as well as the police digging out the body.

“I saw it from beginning to the end back then. It was really terrifying. I heard from the forensic detective that she was probably buried alive and hearing that made me so frightened my hands and feet turned cold.”

“Why didn’t anyone in school catch this? What about surveillance?”

“How scary. Why would you bury someone alive? It’s still summer. If the body was discovered a few days late, it would have started to stink.”

“Did she offend someone? Or is this connected to the incident in the swimming pool? Why do I somehow get the feeling this isn’t going to be the end of it…”

The girl who was buried was called Gong Yue, and she was a junior in the art department.

Her roommates were all at school, and they all came forward to talk about some things. Gong Yue usually liked to go outside to sketch, and she mentioned to them she was going to do the same just before going out at that time.

It was normal for her not to come back from sketching outside, and it was not the first time Gong Yue had done it as well, so her roommates weren’t suspicious.

They didn’t expect that Gong Yue never left school.

Such threads on the forum wouldn’t be deleted. After all, everyone had already seen it with their own eyes so unless it was a rumor or the like, it wouldn’t be deleted.

Ning Meng scrolled through the forums for a while and stopped reading again.

She had to be more careful as of late, otherwise, the same thing would happen to her next time. If it weren’t for Shi Qi, she probably would’ve gone underground and met Meng Ning.

Classes still needed to be attended.

Recently, Ning Meng’s relationship with several girls around her eased up a lot, especially the girl who saw her putting on an act with Gu Nanqian last time, and she liked to talk a lot.

She had just sat down when the girl asked, “What’s wrong with Gu Nanqian?”

Ning Meng was a little confused, “I don’t know.”

The girl hurriedly said, “I heard from her roommate that there was blood on her neck when she came back last night. It’s as if she had just seen a ghost, and her hands were strange as well. Even when she was questioned, she didn’t say anything.”

She said while shrugging her shoulders.

Ning Meng thought it strange as she listened to her words and followed her gaze.

Gu Nanqian was sitting in a corner, her hair covering her neck, and her hands placed on her legs, which appeared to be bandaged.

Gu Nanqian looked back abruptly as if feeling somebody’s line of sight fall onto her.

Upon coming into contact with Ning Meng, she became stiff for an instant, almost instantly recalling the voice of Shi Qi that night in her mind.

Her body started to shake uncontrollably, and she even moved back with a sense of fear.

She went to the hospital, and the doctor said that fortunately, that person did not deal her a heavy hand. The person who did this to her did it deliberately but there was still hope for recovery for her hands.

But the pain she had felt had already penetrated into her bones, never to be forgotten.

There was also the sound in her ears, slamming in her heart, and for the past few nights, she had only been having nightmares.

Gu Nanqian bit her lip, remembering the things that happened after she was controlled, and then recalled how Shi Qi protected Ning Meng, that kind of unfairness…

She merely hurt Meng Ning just for a moment but was treated like this, if she had already killed her at that time, would she have also been killed off?

Gu Nanqian thought about reporting this to the police, but in the end, left it unsettled.

Malice popped in her eyes, but she did not dare expose it, and turned her face away.

Ning Meng frowned, feeling Gu Nanqian a little strange.

However, the blood stain on the neck was clearly visible. One could tell at a glance that it was scratched by a knife which probably wasn’t done by herself.

Was it Shi Qi?

She thought about it, there was a possibility, she heard a scream at that time before Shi Qi pulled her out of the small room.

“Her hand seems to have been broken.” The girl said again, “Her roommate said that she hasn’t been able to move anything as of late, and she also didn’t know who did it to her.”

Ning Meng didn’t say a word, and merely gave a chuckle in response.

Being reminded like this, she started to pay attention to Gu Nanqian unconsciously while class was in session and as expected, she saw a very awkward picture.

The teacher asked them to note down the things she had written on the board, but Gu Nanqian didn’t write it down, even touching the wound on her neck from time to time.

It certainly seemed as if her hand was injured.

After class, Ning Meng packed up her things and walked out from the back door.

Unexpectedly, Gu Nanqian walked by her, whispering through gritted teeth, “Meng Ning, I hate you.”

Ning Meng glanced at her.

She looked down, and then said, “Then continue hating.”

If it weren’t for Shi Qi’s arrival, Gu Nanqian would have probably broken through the door in a short time, and by then, Ning Meng would have no road left to retreat.

Compared with the present, she was considered very lucky.

Ning Meng didn’t feel guilty. Even if Gu Nanqian was controlled to do those things, she shouldn’t have asked her to settle the bill. She wasn’t the one who had hurt Gu Nanqian, she was merely an innocent victim.

Gu Nanqian glared at her.

Ning Meng suddenly turned and left, feeling a lot more relaxed.

After experiencing the incident from yesterday, she truly felt that the remaining bit of Meng Ning’s regrets had disappeared.

When that incident from before happened, Gu Nanqian was controlled deliberately. Not to mention, her crazy appearance was really scary.

And now that they have shed all pretenses of cordiality, Meng Ning must’ve lost all hope.

That’s fine, she didn’t have to think about anything.

Before the holiday, Ning Meng went to the hospital to get her teeth looked at.

She couldn’t feel the difference between dentures and real teeth, but she could use them just fine. Recently, she had no appetite for liquid food.

However, she didn’t expect to bump into Shi Qi upon leaving the academic building.

He looked like a landscape, standing there, attracting all the gazes of the girls that passed by. Yet he continued to remain calm and cold.

“Meng Ning.” He called out.

Ning Meng was a little surprised. She walked over and asked in a soft voice, “Teacher, were you looking for me?”

Shi Qi raised a brow, “Are your teeth fine now?”

Ning Meng: “…”

She covered her mouth and thought. Can you not mention this? Do you know how rude it is? Her tooth was like her present flaw, thinking about it brought her pain.

The corners of Shi Qi’s lips hooked up, “Let’s go to the hospital.”

Ning Meng followed him silently, not daring to refute.

Although she didn’t know why, perhaps it was because great grandson’s aura became stronger after growing up that she felt like a little shrimp, afraid and alarmed.

Ning Meng stuck her lips out behind his back.

When Shi Qi turned his head, she immediately changed her face, pretending to be a good student, looking at him obediently, and waiting for his instructions.

When they walked out of the campus, the tall trees planted outside blocked the sun and brought a burst of coolness.

Ning Meng finally couldn’t help asking, “Do you know a lot of things?”

She wanted to learn something, but she had to find an excuse. It just so happened that she saw one now and tried to smoothly ride the momentum.

Shi Qi paused before acknowledging.

Ning Meng cheered in her heart, but asked softly, “Teacher, can you teach me?”

Shi Qi turned his face, “And then?”

Ning Meng answered casually, “That’s it.”

Shi Qi’s eyes sank and he glanced at her without speaking.

Ning Meng’s heart dropped down. What now? She secretly cast him a look and asked, “Is it not alright..”

Shi Qi raised his eyes, his eyebrows unfurling, “Of course it is.”

His voice was pressed extremely low, sounding a little soft and hoarse, unable to hear any emotions, “I’ll teach you.”

Ning Meng almost jumped up, biting her mouth to restrain her joy, the corners of her raised mouth faintly, and her lips revealed a red color, tempting one to pluck them.

Then she heard him add.

“But what are you going to give me in exchange?”

****

What are you gonna give me?
