Chapter 458 East District

Chapter 1 "What the heck?! Why was it 404'd?"

At night, the light from Lu Xiaoyao's phone illuminated her slightly contorted face from within her blanket. How could the post she'd just made be gone?!

"They're really trying to pull strings! Bastards! Scum! I'm going to go beat him up tomorrow!"

Lu Xiaoyao's heart felt heavy whenever she thought of the girl who had been expelled yesterday afternoon and left in tears.

Of course, another girl, although not expelled, had also taken a long leave of absence to recuperate at home.

It wasn't a mental or emotional trauma, but—the two girls were, in fact, pregnant.

They weren't having a brawl in the bathroom, but rather, two naive young girls were discussing taking abortion pills they had bought from who-knows-where, when someone who knew about it came to stop them.

If there was something wrong with the drugs, and something happened, what would become of the school's reputation?

Lu Xiaoyao had only been in the innermost stall of the bathroom for a while that afternoon because she had an upset stomach.

She overheard the conversation between the two students, the teacher who came to stop them, and then she overheard them all leaving. Lu Xiaoyao's legs were so numb that she almost fell when she finally came out.

She just didn't expect that after hearing such explosive news, the rumor that spread outside was that two delinquent girls were fighting in the bathroom over a man?!

What kind of melodramatic eight o'clock soap opera was this?!

Even if Lu Xiaoyao hadn't been there herself, she wouldn't have believed that reason.

Then she saw a bunch of people on the school forum believing it and making things up.

In the end, Lu Xiaoyao was so brainwashed that she couldn't help but sigh, "There are plenty of fish in the sea, why stare at the dog-tail grass?"

The way this matter was handled afterward was just disgusting!

Especially since it was obvious that the forum and the internet had been notified, and there was nothing she could do!

"Daisy, what are you doing up so late?"

Mo Na had heard Lu Xiaoyao's movements from the bed next to her a long time ago.

"Nothing, nothing, I'm just about to go to sleep."

With that, Lu Xiaoyao turned off her phone, pulled the blanket over her head, and pretended to be asleep, not telling her about what she had seen that afternoon.

...

Ming Mei, who hadn't been paying attention to Lu Xiaoyao's activities these past two days, received a large order for delivery that morning. She left Yuan Fang to watch the shop alone and rode her little electric scooter out early according to the address.

After delivering the hot dogs to the destination, Ming Mei was driving back when she unintentionally turned her head and happened to see the school that the newspaper had said was about to reopen for recruitment in the past two days.

"Huh?"

Compelled by some unknown force, Ming Mei stopped and walked to the school gate, looking inside for a long time.

Ming Mei's heart stirred, and she slowly rode her little electric scooter around the outside of the school, looking at it for a long time, and then turned around in the surrounding area.

Shopping malls, small shops, residential areas, all fully equipped. In other words, all the scenes that existed here were very real and not perfunctory.

The NPCs near the school also had a very vibrant atmosphere. Ming Mei specifically stopped in front of a convenience store whose owner was a middle-aged man. The owner was sitting in a reclining chair behind the counter, leisurely scrolling through his phone.

"Boss, give me two bottles of water."

"They're behind you. Mineral water is 2 yuan, soda is 3.5 yuan. Scan the QR code to pay, or put the cash on the table."

The owner didn't even lift his eyelids, completely unconcerned that Ming Mei might be a bad person. Ming Mei didn't stand on ceremony, took the water, and transferred the money. She also glanced at the various snacks, candies, and drinks under the counter. There were no cigarettes, alcohol, or lighters.

Ming Mei's eyes glanced at the school across the street, and she said, "Boss, your business is good. There's a school across the street, so your business will immediately improve!"

"Eh, so-so. It's a boarding school, not an elementary school." The owner turned his head and looked at Ming Mei when he heard that she seemed to be chatting with him.

A helmet, a colorful vest, and a takeout insulated box on the little electric scooter at the door. He immediately assumed that Ming Mei was a delivery person who was buying water and resting in his shop while chatting.

"Then you don't sell cigarettes and alcohol in your counter, just candies and snacks, which look like kids like to eat." Ming Mei curved her eyebrows. Although this middle-aged uncle did look a bit intimidating when he kept a straight face,

Ming Mei intuitively felt that he didn't seem like a bad person.

"I don't run a tobacco and alcohol shop. I don't like that stuff. If you sell it, people who smoke and drink will come... I hate the smell on them."

The owner was very blunt, endearingly so. "Besides, students will sneak over to buy it. Hmph, I guess I'm indirectly doing a good deed?"

"Yeah," Ming Mei smiled and asked curiously, "By the way, a classmate of mine used to go to this school, but I saw his graduation photo, and it doesn't seem to match up? If it wasn't for the same name, I would have thought I recognized the wrong person!"

"There was a big fire here before, it burned down, so of course it's different after it was rebuilt." The owner sighed when he said this, "Oh, the fire started silently in the middle of the night. By the time they found out, it was too late. A lot of people died."

"Wow, is it that scary?" Ming Mei pretended to be surprised. "Oh, Uncle, you just said that the school across the street is a boarding school, so the students were all at school at that time, right?"

"Of course? Not only students, but also teachers who lived on campus... Oh, it was too tragic, too tragic. That school was full of trouble even before the fire..."

The owner seemed to be lost in the memories of the past, and said, "There were a lot of things that happened in the years before, such as students jumping off buildings, teachers being fired for poor moral character, and school bullying, etc. At the time, I thought the school should be shut down directly, but... oh, first there was a fire..."

...

On Mu Chen's side, he delivered more than a thousand bottles of milk to the school this morning and even managed to sneak into the student cafeteria to help out for a while with his own means.

Don't underestimate it, the student flow in the boarding school cafeteria in the morning is also very huge. Mu Chen helped them hand out milk and eggs to the students in the cafeteria, and naturally noticed the two pairs of panda eyes.

Lu Xiaoyao with a pair of panda eyes.

Qi Hai Kui also had a pair of panda eyes.

During this time, Lu Xiaoyao seemed to have seen the other party in the crowd, and glared at the other party fiercely from afar.

Qi Hai Kui noticed Lu Xiaoyao's gaze, and was also annoyed in his heart while thinking about it.

Qi Hai Kui also didn't expect that the Danny he played had done such a thing before, and he directly took the blame when he came, which made him so angry that he didn't sleep all night.

What the heck?!

How old is this original body, to have done such a thing?!

While he was criticizing himself from a third-party perspective for the disgusting things this character had done, the emotional feedback the original character gave him was another kind of panic—it seemed like someone knew about this...
