Chapter 10: Chapter 10
Translator: mengmeng
Dusk is that time of the day when day and night are intertwined, also known as the moment of magic… The story told by Alina was true, the long corridor seemed endless, and the same windows that penetrated the same dim sunlight.Behind was the shadow of endless pursuit. Even though his legs were is trembling, Ning An still turned and rushed towards the shadow, not wanting it to reach towards Ning Meng. ‘You can’t…’
“Ning An, Ning An.”
Ning An was awakened by the subtle pain from his cheeks. He opened his eyes to meet He Xin’s enlarged face, and the two of them looked at each other with big eyes and narrow eyes, and Ning An finally found his voice.
“He Xin,” Ning An climbed out of the edge of the treatment cabin, the blue jelly liquid dropping off from him without contamination. “What happened to me?”
“We also want to ask you the same thing. When student Fu brought you here, you were all dizzy. He also said you got knocked out and fainted. What happened during your battle with Xu Yusheng?” Chen Siyu came up next to them and said, “By the time the treatment ended you still didn’t wake up. We were worried something bad might have happened to you.
“I’m sorry I made you guys worried.” Ning An brushed on his messy clothes. “I don’t think I lost, but I don’t remember it clearly. Did you say it was Fu Ke who brought me to the infirmary?”
“Yes. Ah, I think Xu Yusheng was born with a heavy hand, now I’m wondering if you have been hit on your head. Why can’t you remember what happened? ”
———-
In brief, the two people were all better and had nothing else to do in the reciprocating cabins. They thanked the doctor before leaving the infirmary, meeting up with Wang Yi at the gate halfway.
The first thing Wang Yi did was to check up He Xin and Ning An’s body thoroughly up and down, before giving the later a smack. “Good boy, you were really ruthless.”
“Don’t don’t don’t, brother Yi don’t hit me too hard otherwise I might go back just after coming out.”
“I’m just excited, excited.” Wang Yi dismissed the idea of taking another shot, “I heard everything about it, I can’t believe that you’re really tough.”
“Brother Yi is making fun of me, if I were really so powerful then it wouldn’t be me who got into the infirmary.”
All four of them burst out into laughter. On the way back to their room, Chen Siyu took Wang Yi and walked ahead of He Xin and Ning An to inquire about the news.
“Tell me why you suddenly got into a fight with Xu Yusheng. If it were like this, we might get involved in another fight again.” Ning An proded He Xin using his elbow. He Xin didn’t look like a person who would act out of impulse, so he wanted to know the reason behind the sudden fight.
“I was being recalcitrant with him and he kept making insolent remarks about class Six. He also said that instructor Qin was…” He Xin was a little embarrassed to continue. “Was I too impulsive to involve you?”
“I wanted to earn that breath anyway. I can’t just ignore seeing my friends get beaten like that.” Ning An heard more or less of how Xu Yusheng’s group of people placed the sixth class lower than them, and he couldn’t help but judge them.
“Who says Class Six can be bullied? Xu Yusheng isn’t the first person to get first in the entrance exam! I’m going to make him shake in his spot!”
“Then I’ll come on too!”
Two people were in high spirits and couldn’t wait to return to the training ground once more. After being discovered by Chen Siyu and Wang Yi, they were dragged back all the way to their dormitory room.
–
When Fu Ke returned to the dormitory, he went straight into the bathroom to take a bath. Green bruises were visible under his ribs, and he remembered faintly how it felt when he held Ning An in his arms. He was able to pick him up so easily, it was as if the boy had never gotten a proper meal.
He pressed his fingers on his bruise, feeling pain from the press. Ning An usually looked so fragile and delicate, but when he bared his teeth and took out his claws, even Fu Ke thought he was violent. What’s more, the fragrance on his body was faintly discernible…
Fu Ke’s heart was feeling restless in his chest. He hurriedly changed the shower into cold water and rushed to clean the soap on his body before going over to his bed to lie and sleep. In his mind, all his thoughts were made out of pheromones, and he was dragged over from his train of thoughts by the ringing sound of his terminal. It was a text from Ning An.
“Thank you for today.”
Fu Ke looked at the rabbit emoji at the end of the sentence and said nothing. After a long silence, he finally made a formal reply.
“You’re welcome, rest early.”
Ning An responded quickly.
“Well, good night and have a good dream.”
Fu Ke turned off the terminal and laid on his back on the bed like a piece of wood for a while, then opened the terminal to send a message to Fu Yao.
——–
“Ning An, your shower cream is really scented.” He Xin’s shower cream was all used up. It just didn’t make sense to go out and buy one at this time of the night, so he decided to borrow Ning An’s shower cream. He wrapped a towel on his head and sniffed his arm, “Well, sweet. I want to bite myself.”
“It was bought by my sister.” Ning An took the bottle of body wash and read the description, “Honey milk scent, what the hell.”
“It’s really good to add honey in milk and cook it together. My grandma always does this…” He Xin’s voice went down as he sniffed his arm. “I feel a little homesick…”
“This dormitory is my home, civilization depends on everyone.” He Xin said that Ning An must also have thought of his own home, but at this time, they didn’t know where planet Ning Xinbo and Alina were making business on. He patted the depressed He Xin’s shoulder, “I’ll invite you to eat honey cakes after the holiday.”
“Yes, are there a lot of delicious food on the Capital Star?” He Xin, who was always attracted by food, returned to being the little sunshine he was before and opened the terminal, actively browsing the delicious food in Capital Star.
Suddenly, Ning An remembered that the box that Ning Meng had sent him that he had left in Qin Zhao’s office, he felt nervous and thought that he was thinking too much. Instructor Qin wouldn’t apply the facial mask on his face, would he?
However, it turned out that Qin Zhao could always read Ning An’s mind.
“I thought you didn’t want it anymore.” Qin Zhao was still hanging his legs on the table. “Thinking about not using them is a waste.”
“You are really hardworking and thrifty.” Qin Zhao only used a mask. As compensation, he had stuffed chocolate biscuits in the empty space of the box. Ning An unhappily opened a packet. “I didn’t expect you to be so delicate.”
Qin Zhao sighed exaggeratedly. “If we don’t start taking care of ourselves at this age, we won’t get any partners.”
Ning An rolled his eyes in front of Qin Zhao’s face, and was knocked by Qin Zhao with a few sheets of rolled-up materials, “Respect the instructor damn boy, last night all the instructors from the first class came to find me.”
“Why, the villain had lodged a complain first. Aren’t I the one who was supposed to make a complaint?” Ning An aggrieved and showed his diagnosis from the doctor yesterday from his terminal.
“I don’t think you can beat up anyone. The bully often pisses people off and create disturbances out of nothing. It’s unreasonable.” Qin Zhao shifted his sight with a brief glance. “So he gave up and went back.”
“Thank you, instructor.” Although Qin Zhao wasn’t a good talker, he still protected the little lamb. Yesterday’s affairs weren’t less than a duel, but it was more of a vicious fight. Ning An could have been punished for his involvement.
Qin Zhao smiled and accepted his apology. “In the future, if you want to fight, don’t go to the fighting arena so openly. Find a corner and put them in a gunny-sack to beat him. People won’t know anything…”
Qin Zhao’s image, which had just risen from Ning An’s eyes, immediately collapsed in a blink. Instructor, it’s not right for you to be misleading children** like this…
Qin Zhao continued to speak with Ning An about a lot of fallacies. When Ning An finally left, it was almost nine o’clock in the evening. At this time, the students were either at the training ground or the library. There was no one in the hallways. When the evening wind blew on the trees on both sides, Ning An shuddered inexplicably.
Looking at any dark corner, it felt as if someone would suddenly jump out and hold a sack over to cover his head. “Misleading child.” ** Ning An felt that what Qin Zhao had said had made him intentionally scared himself and he scolded the instructor again in his heart.
As he walked to the front of the teaching building, he heard the distinct human voice coming from the corner. The body reacted faster than the brain and he hid hide behind the tree. While scolding himself for being timid, the probe listened carefully to the noise. There seemed to be a fight.
