Please choose the second card.
A cold system voice rang out in Tang Ning's mind. Tang Ning stared blankly at his palm bathed in light. He recalled the card usage rules for this instance. Each card had a validity period of 24 hours. Once the validity period expired, the card would cool down and could no longer be used.
His first choice was his mother's old card.
Now it's the second time. The mother's old card can no longer be used. So where is his mother? Where did his mother go
Tang Ning was a little hesitant to ask.
It seemed that as long as he didn't ask now, he would be able to see his mother when he went out later.
Yes, he is no longer a child physically, so his mother definitely won’t sleep in the same room with him, but he can see her whenever he goes out.
Please choose the second card.
The system urged.
Tangning took a deep breath and calmed herself down. Did the second one start this morning? Then it should also end this morning.
How big is my body now? Tangning asked.
18 years old. The system said.
18? That should be high school age, or first semester of college
You are a high school student, the system replied.
High school student? Then today is still related to school, the focus should be on learning. If the ghosts from the past appear, they are most likely from the ghost school dungeon.
The card Tang Ning drew in the ghost school copy was the Sleeping Beauty card. Tang Ning felt it was inappropriate not to let him use the Sleeping Beauty card for the second time. The Sleeping Beauty card's "You will not really die" was very suitable for the young person.
Imagine if Tang Ning was a dying man, he would not only be afraid of ghosts, but also whether he could live to the end of his life.
The Rapunzel card will show a prince and a witch at the same time. Although the Mermaid Princess card can make ghosts stop moving, its side effect is that they cannot speak for the whole day. If a student cannot speak in class, what should the teacher do when he asks questions
The Black Widow card and the Lettuce Thief card are not suitable for use at this age. The Farmer and Snake card and the Woodcutter card are also excluded. They don't seem to be very useful.
He now has two choices, one is the Magic Mirror card, and the other is the Princess and the Pea card.
Will the Magic Mirror card summon that powerful "him"? If so, this will be a very powerful card, but the setting of the Magic Mirror card never says what connection "him" has with this card.
To be on the safe side, he decided to use the Princess and the Pea card. He really wanted to use this card to test whether Xie Yunting was the prince he was looking for.
System, I'm going to use the Princess and the Pea card.
The player has used the "Princess and the Pea" card
Princess and the Pea card setting 1: You are so delicate that you can feel a tiny bean even through twenty beds of duck down.
Princess and the Pea card setting 2: There is a prince who has been looking for a real princess. You are delicate and weak, and you are 100% attractive to the prince.
The mattress beneath him suddenly became rough and uncomfortable. Even though the Xie family's bedding was worth a lot of money, Tangning didn't care about the discomfort. He picked up the school uniform folded next to the pillow. Next to the uniform, Tangning also touched his cell phone.
It is only natural that he has a mobile phone when he grows up.
There was a card game icon on the mobile page. Tang Ning clicked on it and found his card pool. He saw a card that had turned gray.
The woman on the card kneeled on the ground, her eyes hollow and her hair gray, holding the thorns in her arms.
Tang Ning's heart seemed to be pricked by thorns at this moment. He slowly stroked the area on the screen where the card was located with his fingertips.
"Knock, knock, knock." There was a knock on the door. "Get up."
It was a deep and cold male voice, very pleasant and charming. It was not the voice of an elder from the Xie family. This voice was very young. Tangning put down her phone and replied, "I'm up."
The door was pushed open, and the young man standing in front of it was very tall, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, long arms and legs, which made the door look narrow. He was wearing a white shirt and the stupid school uniform, but it made him look youthful.
The handsome young man lowered his eyes, his eyelashes were as thick as those of Europeans and Americans, his eye sockets were also deep, with a deep tenderness, but he had a pair of oriental phoenix eyes, with a coldness at the corners of his eyes.
Tang Ning could vaguely recognize the young Xie Yunting from the other person, but boys change a lot when they grow up. The other person's temperament was so outstanding that Tang Ning did not dare to confirm his identity for a moment.
Xie Yunting held an envelope in his hand. He handed the unsealed letter to Tangning, "This is a letter from Aunt Tang."
"Is this from my mother?!" Tangning quickly took the envelope and asked, "Where is she now?"
"Isn't my aunt on a long journey? She sends you a letter every year."
Tang Ning opened the envelope and took out the letter paper, which was blank.
"Where are the letters my mother sent in previous years?" Tang Ning asked.
Xie Yunting looked at Tangning with a strange look, then pointed at the bedside table, "Put everything in this cabinet."
"Okay, go wash up." Xie Yunting picked up Tang Ning's schoolbag, urged Tang Ning, and left the room.
Tang Ning opened the cabinet and saw a thick stack of envelopes inside. Every sheet of paper inside was blank.
But Tang Ning could understand the contents of the letters; his mother had given him those letters.
Each letter carries his expectations for the future.
In fact, he should have known from the beginning that his mother's departure was destined. The first time he saw her clearly in the hospital, he saw his dead mother.
"Xiao Ning!" Xie Yunting knocked on the door again. There were still tiny drops of water on his face. It looked like he had just washed up. "Don't dawdle."
Tang Ning then stood up in a daze.
Xie Yunting skillfully dragged Tang Ning to the bathroom. He had already squeezed toothpaste for Tang Ning. Seeing that Tang Ning still looked a little sleepy, he simply reached out and pinched Tang Ning's cheeks.
Tangning opened his mouth blankly.
Xie Yunting picked up the electric toothbrush and helped Tangning brush her teeth. As he brushed his teeth, he asked, "Did you learn the exercises I taught you last night?"
The electric toothbrush hums.
Some of the snow-white and delicate foam splashed onto Tangning's lips. His lips were a beautiful pink color. Xie Yunting wiped away the foam on the corner of Tangning's lips with his thumb as if he had obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Tangning looked blankly at Xie Yunting, who was standing so close to her. His clear eyes were focused on her neatly aligned teeth. Xie Yunting said, "I will give you another similar question when we get to school. You must master that type of question because it will most likely be tested in the college entrance examination."
…what’s the problem
"Okay, rinse your mouth." Xie Yunting handed the cup of water to Tang Ning. When Tang Ning's stupid face was foaming, he skillfully pulled off a face towel and gently and carefully wiped Tang Ning's face.
Tang Ning looked even more beautiful after washing her face, with her skin looking smooth and moist. He yawned and turned around to leave.
"Wait." Xie Yunting picked up a bottle of skin care products and squeezed a few drops into his palms. He clasped his hands together and rubbed them together for a few times. When his palms were warm, he placed his palms on Tangning's face.
This palm looked very suitable for playing basketball, and it covered Tang Ning's entire face completely.
The palms of young people are very warm.
Tangning wiped his face and felt it getting a little hot. He was about to leave when Xie Yunting grabbed his collar again and said, "Lift your head up."
Tangning obediently raised her head, revealing her slender, snow-white neck.
His palm, which was still wet from the skincare products, touched Tangning's neck, rubbing from his Adam's apple to his neck. Tangning felt a little itchy and one of his shoulders shuddered slightly.
Xie Yunting's force was not strong, but Tang Ning's skin was too delicate, and the place where he touched turned a little red.
The heat that was about to penetrate into Tangning's bones made her think of something...
However, Xie Yunting in the mirror seemed to be completely focused, which made Tang Ning reflect on why her mind was filled with Mo Dong.
After painting her neck, Tangning had the foresight to not leave.
Sure enough, Xie Yunting took out a bottle of sunscreen spray from the cabinet and said, "Close your eyes."
Tangning closed her eyes obediently.
"You are just being lazy and not applying sunscreen." Xie Yunting said dissatisfiedly, "Your skin will turn red and peel when exposed to the sun. Let's see what you will do?"
"Turn around."
Tang Ning closed his eyes and turned around. He looked like a life-size doll with a 160-degree angle of vision. If a little girl who liked home saw him, she would probably be more enthusiastic than Xie Yunting.
Xie Yunting sprayed Tang Ning carefully, but when he sprayed himself, he just sprayed for a second perfunctorily.
After he finished doing all this, he reached out and grabbed Tangning's hair a few times, combing it neatly. He then commented, "Your hair is a little long. Let's go to the hair salon and get it trimmed. Okay, let's go eat."
Tang Ning and Xie Yunting walked out of the bathroom holding hands.
When Xie Yunting was a child, he liked to hold hands with him. Now that he has grown up, he still hasn't changed this habit.
"Hurry up and eat, you two!" Xie's mother's urging voice came from the restaurant.
"It's over!" Xie Yunting shouted.
Tang Ning moved a little slowly. Xie Yunting glanced at Tang Ning and held him in his arms. Tang Ning was startled and wanted to get out of Xie Yunting's arms. Unexpectedly, Xie Yunting sat on the handrail, with one hand around Tang Ning's waist and the other hand holding the escalator. He slid down from the handrail of the fourth floor to the second floor like a slide.
"Ah!" Tang Ning let out a short scream. He didn't dare to look at the stairs, nor did he dare to break free from Xie Yunting's arms, for fear that they would both fall down if they were not careful.
There was a vibration on the chest that Tang Ning was leaning on.
It was Xie Yunting who was smiling.
"Xie Yunting!" Xie's mother said angrily, "Why are you bullying Ningning again!"
Tang Ning opened his eyes in shock, and Xie Yunting had already carried him down easily, and even dodged the attack from Xie's mother who was holding a spatula.
"We're going to be late," Xie Yunting explained. His arm strength was amazing, and he was able to hold Tang Ning with one hand, while using his other hand to pick up some food from the table and put it into the lunch box. Tang Ning was afraid that she would fall, so she nervously hugged Xie Yunting's neck.
"Don't hold Ningning like that!" Xie's mother was so angry that she wanted to stamp her feet, "What if you drop Ningning?!"
Xie Yunting had a handsome and noble face, but he smiled brightly to his family, "Bye, Mom!"
Xie Yunting took the lunch box and ran away with Tang Ning.
Running down to the first floor, while Tangning was putting on her shoes, Xie Yunting opened a lunch box and fed her two crystal shrimp dumplings. He then carried the two school bags that had been placed on the first floor, "Xiaoning, recite the English article I taught you to recite last night to me now."
Huh? English
Tang Ning only knew that he had memorized a few elementary school English words last night. He looked at Xie Yunting with a confused and aggrieved look.
Xie Yunting said helplessly: "You don't remember again? Eat another shrimp dumpling."
Tang Ning ate several of them and felt a little full.
Xie Yunting handed Tang Ning a bottle of soy milk squeezed by his mother, and then stuffed a big steamed bun into his mouth to eat. He ran away like the wind with the bun in his mouth. Tang Ning drank the soy milk and walked slowly in the direction Xie Yunting left.
Tang Ning was not in a hurry at all. He believed that Xie Yunting would not suddenly leave him alone.
Not long after, Tang Ning heard a low humming sound.
Tangning looked up and saw Xie Yunting, wearing a black helmet, riding on a very handsome motorcycle. He was also holding a white helmet in his hand.
"Get in the car." Xie Yunting said.
Tang Ning finished drinking the last drop of soy milk, Xie Yunting put on his helmet, and then sat in Xie Yunting's seat.
The speed of the motorcycle was incredible. Tang Ning felt that he had traveled a long distance in an instant. When passing by the river, he vaguely saw the back of Xie's father fishing.
The almost hundred-year-old tree is still tall.
When leaving the guard post, Tang Ning saw that the person standing guard this time was a cute little puppy, probably only two months old. Its barking was woof woof woof, and even though the sound of the motorcycle drowned out most of its voice, it was still so cute that Tang Ning couldn't help but turn his head to look.
The motorcycle was going very fast and the scenery on both sides was blurred into blocks of color. Tang Ning was worried that he would be thrown out, so he reached out and hugged Xie Yunting's waist.
Not long after, Xie Yunting and Tang Ning arrived at the school gate. The way they appeared attracted many people's attention.
Xie Yunting calmly parked the car and continued to carry both of their school bags. He also insisted on holding Tang Ning's hand as they walked. He also whispered an English article to her, reminding her to memorize it this time.
Tang Ning hadn't studied English for a long time. He had long since returned all that knowledge to his English teacher. When he heard Xie Yunting reciting the same words as Tang Seng, his eyes almost turned into mosquito coils.
Don't tell him that he wants to challenge higher studies. Is this a nightmare? It will kill you.
Entering the classroom, Tang Ning first saw the countdown for the college entrance examination on the blackboard. There were still 100 days left.
Tang Ning's eyes widened. Damn, this is too fast!
"Dad!" Si Tai shouted excitedly to Tang Ning from his seat.
Tang Ning saw the teenage Si Tai. The dark circles under his eyes were similar to those of the teenage Si Tai. It was obvious that he grew up staying up late.
Xie Yunting placed Tang Ning's schoolbag on Si Tai's seat. Tang Ning sat down. Before he could put the schoolbag into the drawer, Tang Ning saw that his own drawer was filled with love letters.
Too many to overflowing.
The college entrance examination is coming soon. If nothing unexpected happens, we will never see each other again. The school has relaxed its control over students a lot, mainly to let everyone relax, so some people have the idea of confessing their love.
Tang Ning stared blankly at the love letters, dolls, snacks, paper cranes and other confession items in his drawer. He remembered that he did not receive so many love letters when he was a student in real life.
"The college entrance exam hasn't even started yet, why are you all so ambitious?" Xie Yunting frowned when he saw the huge display in Tang Ning's drawer. He slammed his schoolbag onto his desk in dissatisfaction.
Hulala.
All the more spectacular love letters in Xie Yunting's drawer spilled out.
Tang Ning's mouth opened slightly into a small "o". He initially wondered if he was too popular, but when he saw how popular Xie Yunting was, he realized that he was nothing compared to him.
Xie Yunting looked at his drawer and said calmly, "These things will only affect our mentality before the exam, don't you think so, Xiaoning?"
Tangning nodded.
Xie Yunting took out two file bags from his schoolbag and put all the love letters he had received into the bags. After collecting them, he naturally helped Tang Ning organize the love letters.
Tang Ning didn't have the chance to open any of the love letters, as Xie Yunting sealed them all.
Tang Ning didn't care. He had no impression of those students who confessed their love to him. Even if he saw it, he didn't know who was confessing to him.
"Why don't I have it?" Si Tai said with some sadness and anger.
"Don't worry, I don't have any either," Zhou Kang, who was so fat that Tangning could hardly recognize him, consoled her.
There were many classmates sitting in the class. Tang Ning saw Jiang Mianmian, Zhou Kang, Si Tai and Li Haoyuan.
"Where's Lin Yun?" Tangning asked.
"Oh, he went to work and study. Didn't he send a message to inform us?" Zhou Kang said.
Tang Ning didn't check his phone much, so he didn't see any message from Lin Yun.
"Don't look at your phone now. Students are not allowed to bring mobile phones to school." Zhou Kang briefly explained Lin Yun's situation to Tang Ning. The first thing he gave was family affection and wealth. Now it's the second time, he still has nothing to lose.
Lin Yun's family is in a difficult situation. Lin's mother is seriously ill. Although Lin's father is a healthy man, he has a bunch of children with cheating families. Those children need money. Some of the money Lin's father earns is either used to pay off debts or to subsidize his illegitimate children.
Lin Yun had no choice but to work every day to support his family. Everyone also tried to give Lin Yun some money to help him improve his life. Unfortunately, the card game would not allow players to exploit this loophole. If the money was given to Lin Yun by others as relief, the money would always slip away from Lin Yun for various reasons.
For example, in the morning Lin Yun was too poor to afford a meal, so Zhou Kang transferred 100 yuan to Lin Yun, and other teammates also donated generously. Lin Yun had just used the money to buy a bun, and the next second a wild dog snatched the food away.
Lin Yun used the money to buy another bun. Suddenly he fell flat on his face, and the bun flew out of his hand and was taken away by a wild dog.
This happened several times, and the dog was full, but Lin Yun still hadn't eaten a single hot bite.
"How tragic." Tangning was shocked.
"Yes, I am more worried about whether his future college entrance examination results will be affected." Zhou Kang said: "The college entrance examination is a relatively important node in life. It will affect our future career to a large extent. Career will affect our wealth, connections and other developments in the first half of our lives."
"I just looked through my papers and homework completion, and I found that they are in line with my expected level." Jiang Mianmian said: "I guess our current results will be combined with the situation in the real world and our performance in the first place in the dungeon."
Tang Ning unpacked his school bag and found his homework and test papers. His grades were not that good, but compared to the level Tang Ning achieved in the real world, they were indeed a big improvement. This should all be due to Xie Yunting's tutoring.
"I don't think I can go to a good school." Li Haoyuan sighed after reading his test paper.
"Are you still popular now?" Tang Ning asked Li Haoyuan. Popularity refers to the attention Li Haoyuan received as the Son of Wolf.
"Basically no one mentions it." Li Haoyuan shook his head.
Tangning looked at Si Tai, "By the way, didn't you say you wanted to write the first essay? How are your grades now?"
Hearing this question, Si Tai's expression became complicated for a moment.
"Well, how should I put it? The plot of the article I wrote was quite novel at that time. It performed very well at the beginning and became an instant hit, becoming the top post on that website." Si Tai said.
"Isn't that great?" Tangning guessed, "You should be a great god now, right?"
Si Tai's expression became more complicated. "If nothing unexpected happened, I should have been..."
The article written by Si Tai had a very good beginning. First, as soon as he sent out a chapter, he received many comments from wild readers. Every comment was amazing, and the situation was very good.
As a result, when Si Tai woke up the next day and visited the website, he found...
"I found that I messed up the article." Si Tai said aggrievedly, "Now the article has become an ancient pit. Every time people scold me for messing up the article. I also want to know how the time acceleration game messed up the article? Could it be that the game has no talent for this? There is no way to continue the article for me?"
Tangning applauded after hearing this and said, "Card games really make sense."
Si Tai was unconvinced and said, "What's the point of being reasonable? I really intend to finish writing this article, okay?!"
Tangning said quietly, "You always say the same thing in every new book you publish."
Si Tai: “… Indeed.”
While everyone was talking, a new student entered the class. His shiny bald head stood out in the crowd.
"Hey, is this Jikong?" Si Tai waved his hand.
The young boy Jikong looked towards Tang Ning and walked away quickly with his schoolbag on his back.
"I thought you had passed away, Master Jikong." Si Tai exclaimed.
Under the gaze of everyone, Jikong smiled slightly, "Dear donors, I hope you are well."
"Master Jikong, why are you here now?" Tangning asked in surprise, "The rest of us all entered the same school at the beginning."
"Amitabha, this is the first day that I entered Buddhism using a card, and I was unable to come down the mountain to meet you all." Jikong said with some regret.
Buddhism sounded very safe in this spiritual world. Tang Ning asked in confusion, "Why did Master Jikong suddenly come down from the mountain? Is he going to return to secular life?"
"I am a college entrance examination candidate." Jikong put his hands together, "Buddha only saves monks who are studying."
