GTAS Arc. 1 Ch. 30

“Ding Ling~~~” The bell for the end of class rang, and the teacher sitting at the lectern stood up, then spoke with his hands behind his back.

“No need to collect the test papers, just keep them. We’ll discuss this test paper in the next class.”

After the teacher finished speaking, he walked away with his hands behind his back. The students below immediately erupted into a chorus of complaints. If they had known the teacher wouldn’t collect the papers, they would have slacked off a bit and just winged it! It’s all a trick, it’s all a trick!

However, Shen Liyu didn’t complain. Instead, he quickly tidied up the test papers and pens on his desk. As he was about to get up, Qi Ming, who was sitting beside him, looked at him and asked, “Liyu, where are you going?”

Shen Liyu raised his attractive peach blossom eyes and smiled, saying, “Senior Song asked me to go see him. Why, do you need something from me?”

Qi Ming visibly relaxed upon hearing this, then scratched his head and said it was nothing. He then stood up to make way for Shen Liyu to leave.

Shen Liyu was puzzled by Qi Ming’s strange behavior. Ever since he helped Zheng Qingyuan deliver the love letter to Qi Ming and invited him to dinner with Zheng Qingyuan, Shen Liyu had also invited Qi Ming. Originally, Shen Liyu wanted to clear things up between the three of them and clarify his position, which was to support both of them wholeheartedly. However, he didn’t go that night because he was too exhausted from Song Qihan’s excessive “care,” so he didn’t know how the dinner between Zheng Qingyuan and Qi Ming went…

But later, he realized that there was no romantic feeling between the two of them at all. It seemed that Qi Ming hadn’t agreed. Since that was the case, Shen Liyu didn’t inquire further.

However, recently Qi Ming had been paying a lot of attention to Shen Liyu and always liked to follow him around, depriving Shen Liyu of many opportunities to tease Song Qihan. Thus, Shen Liyu simply said he was going to see Song Qihan this time, so Qi Ming wouldn’t follow him anymore.

Just as Shen Liyu stepped out of the classroom door, he almost bumped into a wall of people head-on. Fortunately, he stopped in time, but he was startled, and he accidentally bit his tongue.

The smell of blood spread in Shen Liyu’s mouth, making him unable to help but frown. He signaled to the person who had bumped into him that he was fine, then quickly walked away without even lifting his head.

The person who bumped into him was Yuan Feng. His handsome face still wore a look of disdain, and his gaze followed Shen Liyu as he walked away. Then he stood there, somewhat lost in thought…

At the sink, Shen Liyu cupped some cold water in his mouth, easing the metallic taste of blood. For some reason, since just now, Shen Liyu felt like his right eyelid was twitching, and he also felt a bit suffocated, which made him very uncomfortable…

Shen Liyu chuckled softly to himself, relieved that he finally had a reason. No one had covered him with a blanket last night, and now he was feeling unwell. If he got sick, it would affect his ability to study and review his books.

Having made up his mind, Shen Liyu planned to tease Li Chen first and then go to the office to find Song Qihan. He thought that with such a convincing reason, coupled with a pitiful expression, Song Qihan would definitely not let him sleep alone anymore…

But there was no mirror here, so Shen Liyu couldn’t see the unnatural blush on his delicate, fair face…

When Shen Liyu arrived at the small forest, he found several hoodlum students squatting in the open space outside. They were all under Li Chen’s command, apparently clearing the area. Shen Liyu didn’t linger and instead followed his original memories into the small forest, where he found Li Chen near an abandoned guardhouse.

Li Chen wasn’t wearing his school uniform, but a casual black outfit. He stood alone, his back exuding an inexplicable sense of desolation…

“Why did you call me here? I remember I made it clear that we have no relationship anymore. Meeting again would just make us strangers.” Shen Liyu didn’t approach, but kept a safe distance from Li Chen, speaking in a cold tone.

Li Chen turned around upon hearing Shen Liyu’s voice, and then stared at Shen Liyu intently. He spoke softly, his voice devoid of tears but filled with a sinister edge.

“Liyu, you said it, but you still came, didn’t you? That means you still…,”

Shen Liyu, who had already furrowed his brows, interrupted Li Chen directly, saying, “Still what? Do you think I came here because I still like you? Get it straight, it was you who said you had something to tell me in the text message. I came because of that. Spit it out, or let it go! Don’t waste my time going back to class!”

Li Chen heard Shen Liyu’s twisted logic and couldn’t help but feel even more panicked. He was afraid that this was true. Now, because of his own question, the situation might actually become true!

Under Shen Liyu’s surprised gaze, Li Chen knelt down, yes, he kneeled down on both knees…

Without waiting for Li Chen to speak, Shen Liyu took two steps to the side, avoiding Li Chen’s grand gesture. Then he said loudly, “Li Chen, don’t kneel to me. Even if you kneel, I won’t like you anymore. Don’t come looking for me in the future. Take care of yourself.”

With that, Shen Liyu turned around and walked away, leaving Li Chen alone.

Li Chen’s eyes, which had just shed tears, turned red again, and tears welled up, blurring the figure he wanted to hold in his hands and keep in his heart. Finally, Li Chen knelt on the ground and cried out in pain. He knew he was wrong this time, but there was no one standing there waiting for him to turn back, with that warm smile on his face…

【 Ding, congratulations, host, your scum value has reached 95. Please keep up the good work! 】

Hearing the voice of the system in his mind, Shen Liyu’s footsteps paused, his eyebrows raised. Surprisingly, his scum value hadn’t reached its maximum yet. Did he need to give Li Chen another kick to reach full scum value? What a hassle.

Thinking of this, Shen Liyu turned around, intending to go back and give Li Chen another hard kick to fill up the scum value.

But as soon as he turned around, a stick came at his head! He couldn’t dodge it…

With a dull thud, Shen Liyu fell to the ground, closing his eyes and not moving, his life uncertain.

The stick was stained with blood, and Zhang Yong, who had been missing for a long time, was panting, his eyes filled with madness as he looked at Shen Liyu lying on the ground. He laughed softly, his laughter terrifying and ghastly, as if he were a demon crawling out of hell…

“Hahaha… I caught you… No one can save you this time…”

With a sinister smile on his face, Zhang Yong looked like a devil who had crawled out of hell…
