Under Tang Ning's shocked gaze, the eunuch protagonist summoned by Si Tai nodded reluctantly and agreed to the py transaction.
He stood up with a cold face, and every step he took carried the aura of a eunuch serving beside a favored concubine. At first glance, his appearance was very similar to the aura of Si Tai, who usually clings to Tang Ning's thigh and becomes successful.
Lin's mother and Jiang's father, who were arguing, couldn't help but stop and looked at the eunuch along with a bunch of other people.
"What are you doing?" Zhou's mother stared at the eunuch protagonist warily.
"I'm here to give a gift to Master Zhou." The eunuch raised his orchid finger and handed the longevity lock to Zhou Kang who was vomiting. Although he had tried hard to behave like a modern person, his style was still out of tune with the others present.
Father Zhou stood up and blocked the eunuch protagonist, "No need."
The eunuch protagonist snorted coldly, "You are ungrateful."
Father Zhou's face darkened. "What are you talking about, you androgynous dead demon?"
The corner of Si Tai's mouth twitched as he watched the protagonist he created wrestling with the opponent. Unfortunately, he was most likely to lose the fight.
What's even more unfortunate is that even if he lost, he still wrote the extra story he promised the other party if he could survive.
The bus stopped again at this time. Tang Ning looked out of the window and did not see Li Haoyuan or the monk. Instead, standing on the side of the road was a very harmonious family of three.
The husband wore an elegant Zhongshan suit, the mother wore a plain cheongsam, and the boy standing between them looked like a male model in a children's clothing advertisement.
Is this the eighth player randomly drawn
Tang Ning leaned against the car window curiously to look at the family of three. The handsome boy looked up and made eye contact with Tang Ning, whose nose was being squeezed. He couldn't help but smile.
Tang Ning blinked, and the boy politely stopped smiling and boarded the bus accompanied by his parents.
When this family got on the bus, the originally chaotic carriage became quiet.
Mother Lin sat in a dignified posture.
The lustful Father Jiang did not even glance at the lady in the cheongsam, even though she was stunningly beautiful.
If Tang's mother was lacking in appearance and temperament, and Lin's mother was only average in appearance and temperament, then that lady had perfect looks in every part of her body, like an older sister from the Republic of China, with her fair skin gently falling on the boy's shoulders.
The boy was still looking at Tang Ning.
At this moment, Tang Ning did not press his entire face against the glass without caring about his image. The tip of his delicate nose was stained a little red. He sat obediently on the edge of the bed. His short legs could not touch the bottom of the car, so they swayed slightly in the air. Tang Ning looked like a carefully carved doll.
The boy stared at it for a moment.
Tangning waved tentatively, and the boy quickly waved back in greeting.
Seeing the boy's reaction, the beautiful lady smiled slightly, took the boy's hand and walked towards Tang Ning's family's seats, and sat down in front of Tang Ning.
The seats on the bus are double seats. If a family of three sits in one, they can do as Zhou Kang did, with his father and mother sitting in one seat and Zhou Kang sitting on his mother's lap.
But this family did not do that. The woman and the boy sat down, taking up two seats, while the husband stood beside the seats, pulling the ring alone.
"Hello." The boy turned around and showed his face from the gap between the two seats. He took the initiative to greet Tang Ning behind him and said, "Are you also studying at Mingde?"
Tang Ning slightly widened his eyes. He looked at the boy closely and found that he looked a bit like Mo Yunchu, Qi Yun, and Gong Yun. He saw too many features of a former prince in this boy, except that his face was chubby and had a childishness that had not yet faded.
Maybe they don’t look alike, but people who are particularly good-looking always have similarities.
Tangning was stunned for a moment and did not respond immediately. The boy was not in a hurry either. He kept a polite smile that easily made people feel good and waited.
Tangning came back to her senses and nodded. She couldn't help but ask, "What's your name?"
The boy's eyes curved, "My name is Xie Yunting, do you know what it means?"
yun
Even his name sounds like a prince.
Tangning shook his head.
"Hold it out with your palm facing up," said Xie Yunting.
Tang Ning stretched out his palm obediently, his palm was plump.
Xie Yunting held Tang Ning's wrist with one hand and stretched out a finger with the other hand to write his name on Tang Ning's palm stroke by stroke. He wrote it very clearly.
While he was writing, Xie's father and mother smiled at each other, and he looked at Tang Ning very gently.
Cloud Court.
Tangning said, "My name is Tangning."
"Which Ning?" Xie Yunting's eyes sparkled. Children's eyes are always dark and look very clean.
Tangning said, "Ning of peace."
Xie Yunting seemed very happy. "I happened to write the phrase 'tranquility leads to far-reaching goals' when I was practicing this morning."
Tangning was stunned for a moment. He felt that the way the other person spoke was a bit like a child, as if a friend was happy that he could write a new friend's name.
But isn’t the other party the eighth player
"That's great. I'm from Class 1, Grade 1. I saw your name on the freshman roster." Xie Yunting said.
System Are Xie Yunting, me and the other players all from Class 1, Grade 1? Tangning asked in his mind. He didn't want to communicate with the system unless it was necessary, because he was always worried that the system would trick him out of the blue.
Yes, the system replied.
Is Xie Yunting the eighth player? Tangning asked.
Please explore on your own, the system replied.
"By the way, when were you born?" Xie Yunting asked excitedly, "I am older than you, so I can call you Brother Ning."
After Tangning told him her date of birth, the man asked for the exact time. When he learned that Tangning was born at midnight, Xie Yunting exclaimed, "My birth time is exactly the same!"
He turned happily and asked the woman in the cheongsam, "Mom, right?"
The woman nodded with a smile, "What a coincidence, these two children are also destined to be together." She said this to Tang's mother who was wearing sunglasses.
Tang Ning looked at the other players beside him. Jiang Mianmian nodded slightly to Tang Ning. They were all born at midnight, and this boy named Xie Yunting was also born at midnight. He got on this bus. Next, I will go to Mingde School with him. Even if the other party is not the eighth player, he is most likely a very important person in this copy.
The conversation between the two mothers that followed was even more surprising, as Xie Yunting and Tang Ning were born in the same hospital.
Tangning had already started to doubt Xie Yunting's identity after hearing this. Was he a player from the same team as him? But why did Xie Yunting act like a good friend
Could Xie Yunting be his prince? However, the card he used on the first day was only his mother's story card, which did not summon a prince.
However, there is a very simple way to judge whether Xie Yunting's current situation is good or bad for him.
Tangning asked Xie Yunting directly, "Can you do me a favor?"
Xie Yunting nodded without hesitation.
Tangning took the longevity lock that the eunuch protagonist had not delivered before, and said, "I want you to help me deliver this longevity lock to my friend who seems to be feeling unwell."
Anyone who wasn't blind could see that when Xie Yunting's family got on the bus, other families all of a sudden behaved themselves. Only Xie Yunting wanted to send them off, so Zhou Kang's parents shouldn't be able to refuse.
"Okay." Xie Yunting took the longevity lock that Tang Ning handed him. He got down from his seat and walked towards Zhou's father and mother. He politely explained his purpose to them. Not only did Zhou's father and mother not stop him, they also helped Xie Yunting and Zhou Kang put on the longevity lock.
After Zhou Kang got the longevity lock, his expression eased a lot.
Xie Yunting easily responded to Tangning's request and returned to his seat. He asked Tangning, "Do you know that friend?"
Tangning nodded, "I also know the other friends in the car."
Xie Yunting smiled and looked at the others. He scanned the faces of each of the young players and then looked at Tangning. "Can you introduce your friend to me?"
Tangning started by introducing Si Tai. Xie Yunting asked Si Tai's name very seriously. Then when he asked the names of other players, Xie Yunting's attitude was very serious. After he learned everyone's names, he happily said, "It seems that I am all a student in Class 1, Grade 1."
The only happy person was Xie Yunting.
Lin Yun had some psychological trauma from Xie Yunting's face, which looked very similar to Mo Yunchu's. Jiang Mianmian had been looking at Xie Yunting, and even the more heartless Si Tai would watch Xie Yunting's every move from time to time.
Xie Yunting seems to have a very good memory. He said that he had only seen the list of new students once before, but he remembered some people's names.
"Then have you seen the names Li Haoyuan and Jikong on the list? Oh, no, it's Li Haoyuan and Li Zheng." Jikong's real name is Li Zheng.
Xie Yunting shook his head. Tangning was a little disappointed.
Could it be that Li Haoyuan and Jikong are in other classes
Xie Yunting was a bit of a chatterbox and couldn't help chatting with Tangning along the way.
The questions he asked were all very simple, such as what cartoons Tang Ning liked to watch, what colors she liked, what dishes she liked to eat, etc.
Seeing her son's enthusiasm, Xie's mother shook her head helplessly and said to Tang's mother, "He is usually very aloof, just like an adult. It seems that he likes your Ningning very much today, so he is talking so much."
Xie Yunting was a little embarrassed after his secret was exposed. He stopped chatting with Tang Ning and stared at Xie's mother instead.
Mother Xie had no choice but to surrender and said, "I like Ningning, too."
Father Xie watched the interaction between his wife and son with a smile on his face. The family atmosphere in this family is very good.
"Are you worried about something?" Xie Yunting turned to look at Tangning again.
Tangning was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
The car has been driving for a while but has not stopped. Jikong and Li Haoyuan have not gotten in the car yet. Are they in trouble
"Is there anything I can help you with?" Xie Yunting asked seriously.
Tangning shook his head.
Xie Yunting, who had been chattering the entire way, was very considerate when he saw that Tangning was not in a good mood. He only looked back at Tangning with some concern from time to time. He seemed to care about Tangning's mood.
When the bus drove straight to the gate of Mingde School, Tang Ning didn't even look at Li Haoyuan and Jikong.
A group of people got off the bus, and everyone's parents said goodbye to their children at the school gate.
Tang Ning hugged her mother reluctantly.
Out of nowhere, Tang Ning watched Xie Yunting say goodbye to his parents, then he stood aside obediently, looking at Tang Ning eagerly.
"Okay, what are you waiting for? Go to school with your new friend." Tangning's mother patted her head and said, "You can see me after school."
After saying goodbye to her mother, Tangning came to Xie Yunting and asked straight to the point, "Are you a player?"
Xie Yunting said: "What game?"
"Cards." Tangning replied.
"Mom and Dad said that children can't play cards." Xie Yunting immediately went against his own rules for Tangning, "But if you want to play cards, I can learn. I learn things very quickly."
Tangning was in deep thought for a moment.
If this friend's acting skills weren't so good, he would be a real friend.
Several other players also gathered around, silently looking at Xie Yunting, who had a mysterious resemblance to several former big guys.
"He doesn't know the card game." Tangning said to his teammates.
The players looked at each other, their faces wrinkled, and everyone was very curious about Xie Yunting's identity.
Is it a prince
Jiang Mianmian didn't quite recognize this prince. He was so cheerful and easy-going. It was as ridiculous as finding out that a devil was an angel in his childhood.
But if he wasn't a prince, how could he look so much like those beings? And some of the players' parents seemed to be very afraid of thanking their father and mother.
"I'll hurry to class. I can't be late on the first day of school." Xie Yunting was very active. He might be the guide NPC of this map.
He is now walking in the campus of this school. The building of this school seems to be quite old, but the greening is well done, with tall trees everywhere. These trees block out the sky and block out the bright sunshine. Walking under the shade of the trees will make people feel the coolness in the air.
His classroom is Grade 1, Class 1, on the first floor of the building.
As Tang Ning walked up the stairs, he could hear the sounds of children playing in the various classes on this floor. The walls of the corridor were covered with colorful children's paintings, and there were cleverly placed potted plants in the corners. Some classes seemed to have started their morning reading early, and their clear voices floated in, full of vigor and vitality.
Led by Xie Yunting, Tang Ning and the others came to the door of the first grade class one classroom.
This classroom looks normal, full of energetic children.
The arrangement of the desks is also very intentional. It is not in the traditional matrix form, but the tables and chairs are placed in a circle. The teacher stands in the center of the circle, holding the textbook and interacting with the children in the seats from time to time.
Tang Ning arrived relatively early, so most of the seats were already occupied, leaving only a few empty seats.
Xie Yunting took the initiative to pull Tang Ning and found two empty seats to sit down. The other players also found empty seats and sat down.
Soon, there was only one empty seat left in the classroom.
Is there anyone who hasn't come yet
But the next second, Tangning heard the teacher say, "My friend, now that everyone is here, let me introduce myself first. I am your homeroom teacher, Ms. Xu."
"Good morning, teacher!" "Hello, Teacher Xu!" "… "
Teacher Xu looked around with a smile, "Today is the first day of school, and now is the first class. Have you noticed that my desk arrangement is very special?"
Immediately, a friend who was active in speaking answered: "It's a circle!"
"Hey, you're smart. You even know what a circle is." Teacher Xu praised.
"So does anyone know why Teacher Xu arranged the desks and chairs in the classroom in a circle?"
Everyone shook their heads.
"Because, on the first day of school, the teacher wants to play a game with everyone in class~"
"Wow!" "What a game!" "It's so great!" These cheers came one after another from friends other than the players.
Listening to the game, the players' expressions were not very good.
Teacher Xu's tone was lively and gentle. He said, "Have you ever heard of the game of musical chairs?"
Tangning sat up straight and listened attentively to the teacher's introduction of the rules of the game. "It's a game of musical chairs. The rules are very simple. The teacher will first play a piece of music—"
I pressed the button and a pleasant nursery rhyme sounded. The young child sang: "Clap, clap, clap, stretch out your fingers, stretch out your fingers~"
"Next, some of my friends need to stand up from their seats." Judo said while clapping.
Tangning looked at Jiang Mianmian and the others. Everyone followed suit and stood up. Tangning was no exception. The group of friends all started clapping along with the song.
"Friend, from now on, I need to circle around the chair." The teacher said patiently, pulling out a chair.
"Where are the eyes~The eyes are here~Point them~Point them~" The child was still singing happily.
Tang Ning's friends were all smiling as they circled around the chairs. Tang Ning was in this large group, and when everyone else moved, he could only follow suit.
He looked at each of the bright and smiling faces. Every friend except the players was smiling very happily. He pointed to his own wide open mouth and smiling eyes from time to time while following the lyrics. Some friends also pointed to other people's mouths and eyes.
"Where is your mouth~ Your mouth is here~ Use your finger~ Use your finger~"
Xie Yunting also smiled, but his smile was more reserved, not as bright as when he saw Tang Ning before. His finger was not pointed at himself or others, but at a place behind Tang Ning.
It was as if... there was a friend with eyes, nose and mouth standing behind Tangning.
Tang Ning's body stiffened. He turned his head subconsciously and found nothing behind him.
"When the music stops, friends need to find a seat to sit down. Friends who don't grab a chair will be eliminated!" After Teacher Xu introduced the rules of the game, a person stood in the center of the circle and turned around by himself, holding up a machine that kept playing music.
New confusion surged into Tang Ning's mind.
If he remembered correctly, the number of chairs should be one more than the total number of people? Although Teacher Xu took out one chair, the number of chairs and the total number of people should be just right, which means that no matter how the game is played, it will not lose.
Does this mean that Teacher Xu means that those who do not grab the chair immediately when the music ends will be eliminated
Well, this is possible. After all, when everyone rushed forward, several people might try to grab one chair and ignore the other empty chairs around.
Suddenly, the joyful music stopped.
The smiles on some people's faces disappeared. Those bright smiles faded away completely in an instant, as if the paint on the dolls' faces was washed away by the heavy rain that came at the same time.
Tang Ning immediately rushed to an empty seat. The one who reacted faster than him was Xie Yunting. Xie Yunting rushed over like the wind and occupied two seats in one breath. When Tang Ning came over, he quickly gave up the extra seat he had occupied to Tang Ning.
Tang Ning didn't bother to be polite with Xie Yunting and sat down. His heart was still pounding as he watched the children around him frantically scramble for seats.
Lin Yun, Jiang Mianmian, Si Tai, and Zhou Kang all found empty chairs to sit down. After confirming that his teammates were okay, Tang Ning couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Only then did he have the heart to check on others.
Almost every friend grabbed his own chair, and those who had their own seats were all smiling, except for a fat guy who stood blankly next to an empty chair. He did not sit down, but looked helplessly at the chairs around him that were filled with people.
Tangning frowned.
Time passed by minute by minute, and the fat boy seemed to be blind and still did not sit on the empty chair.
"Unfortunately, this friend has been eliminated." Teacher Xu said with regret: "Friends who lose the game will leave the class."
After hearing the punishment of leaving the class, Fatty shook his head in panic.
Teacher Xu's smile disappeared and he stared at the fat boy expressionlessly.
Fatty lowered his head in fear. He seemed very reluctant to go, but was particularly afraid of Teacher Xu who never smiled. However, under Teacher Xu's long gaze, the fat boy still raised his feet tremblingly and walked towards the classroom little by little with great resistance.
Tang Ning frowned and looked at the empty seat again. The desk was empty and the chair was also vacant. Why didn't the fat boy sit there
"What are you looking at?" Xie Yunting moved his head closer.
He followed Tangning's gaze and stared at the empty table and chair with his dark eyes, "Do you want to make friends with it?"
… What
Xie Yunting's voice was very soft, as if he was whispering something to Tangning, "But I don't recommend it."
Tang Ning turned around and looked at Xie Yunting who was standing nearby.
Xie Yunting showed a likable smile, he stretched out his hands, and hummed the nursery rhyme just now, but changed a few words: "Where is his mouth? The mouth is here~"
"Use your finger~Use your finger~"
The finger landed on Tang Ning's eyes.
