The black and white phoenix eyes reflected Tang Ning's slightly stunned face.
Tangning thought Xie Yunting would hesitate for a while, but then his opponent suddenly hit a straight ball. She didn't know whether it was Xie Yunting's inspiration or his thinking about the success of the class.
Xie Yunting had a face that looked repulsive, but when facing Tang Ning, it was either smiling or blushing. The bright sunshine was shining on him, and he was surrounded by white doves and snow-like paper. His red ears made him look particularly clean as he smiled at Tang Ning, exuding a youthful aura.
Tang Ning suddenly understood why some people liked eighteen-year-old students. This kind of energetic aura was really fascinating.
Facing the light, Tang Ning's pupils were illuminated into amber, light and like condensed honey. The corners of his lips curled up slightly. Xie Yunting's eyelashes quickly blinked. He could not calmly look at Tang Ning with such an expression. He could only turn away in embarrassment and threw the information in his hand away.
There were cheers all around, and students from every floor were throwing materials around, celebrating the end of their high school career. At this moment, Tangning felt as if she was back in high school.
This kind of youth is so good.
Tangning couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He also grabbed a handful of information and threw it high up.
In the bright and charming sunlight, there seemed to be a cold gaze cast upon me.
Tang Ning leaned over and looked down, and could only see flying white.
After the book-throwing activity, the teacher announced that today and tomorrow would be a unified holiday. Students could study at school or go home to relax and rest, which gave players different choices.
Jiang Mianmian said that she would stay in school to review. Zhou Kang also didn't want to go home. Lin Yun planned to stay with his teammates so that he could have a bite of hot food when everyone had dinner.
Jikong's home is on the mountain, and it is very troublesome to go up and down the mountain, so he plans to rest directly in school.
Li Haoyuan and Si Tai decided to go home because as newcomers, they would not encounter many ghosts in the S-level copy. If they stayed in school together, they would share the burden of ghosts attracted by other old players.
Tang Ning thought about it carefully and decided to go back to Xie's house with Xie Yunting because Xie's house was safe and could isolate ghosts. After making the decision, Tang Ning said goodbye to her teammates and walked out of the classroom with Xie Yunting.
When leaving the classroom, Tang Ning once again felt the vague sense of being spied on. He looked around and saw that someone had already thrown books away. There were a few people cleaning up the mess in the corridors on each floor. It should have been easy to find the person now, but Tang Ning looked around and found nothing.
The only thing he discovered was that Xie Yunting would now dodge when he looked at her, but his face wouldn't blush so easily anymore.
Tang Ning glanced around, trying to find the person who was secretly observing him.
Walking side by side with Tang Ning, Xie Yunting moved his fingers hanging down by his legs, trying to touch Tang Ning's fingertips with his slender fingers. However, when they got a little closer by one or two centimeters, Xie Yunting withdrew his hand.
The young man's mind was filled with intense thoughts. He had become accustomed to holding Tang Ning's hand. If he didn't touch her now, not only would his palms feel empty, but his heart would also feel empty.
But when he thought about how they had expressed their feelings to each other today, Xie Yunting suddenly became timid.
There is always a difference between holding a close friend's hand and holding the hand of someone you like.
After a fierce ideological struggle, Xie Yunting's hand moved a small centimeter closer to Tang Ning, but this was a big step forward in Xie Yunting's ideological struggle!
Just before the touch, Xiubai's hand suddenly lifted up. Tang Ning reached out and touched his chin, pretending to be thinking, leaving Xie Yunting, who was pretending to be calm, empty-handed.
Xie Yunting withdrew his hand awkwardly. However, when he saw Tangning pinching the fading baby fat on his face, he couldn't help but think of -
So cute! So cute! Such a lovely compliment.
From the time when Tang Ning was a child to when he was the first, Xie Yunting thought that the other person was very cute, which made him want to be friends with this person very much.
After getting to know him, he found that Tang Ning treated his friends very well and his words and deeds were not childish, so he was more willing to be friends with Tang Ning.
Since childhood, many people have confessed their love to Xie Yunting, but Xie Yunting rejected them without hesitation. After all, he likes to be with Tang Ning the most, and any factors that may hinder their getting along will be eliminated by Xie Yunting.
His ideals in life are simple: to inherit the family business, be filial to his parents, and take good care of Tang Ning.
Whenever he saw someone confess their love for Tangning, Xie Yunting would feel anxious. He couldn't imagine Tangning excluding him after getting married and having children.
Until now, Xie Yunting suddenly realized that he could start a family with Tang Ning, just like they grew up together. They could grow old together in the future. There is no better path to a relationship than this.
Tang Ning didn't know that Xie Yunting was already thinking about their retirement life. He was still pinching the flesh on his cheek, thinking about where the prying eyes were hiding.
Every time he approached Xie Yunting, or went to see Xie Yunting, he could feel the gaze coming from somewhere in this huge campus. Once he took the initiative to look for it, that existence quickly hid itself again.
It's done secretly and is very shameful.
This style of behavior made Tang Ning doubt whether the other party was a prince. In his impression, a prince would not hide and hide when he was with others.
Thinking of this, Tang Ning's eyes spun around as she met Xie Yunting's reserved gaze. Xie Yunting looked quite intimidating when he had a cold face, and made people think of words like young talent or nobleman.
Tang Ning tentatively gave Xie Yunting a K, wanting to see how the being hiding in the dark would react.
Xie Yunting stared at Tangning expressionlessly.
Tangning blinked awkwardly. Ha, was this malicious cuteness too disgusting? Did it embarrass Xie Yunting? That's right, if he was still a child, this would still be cute.
The next second, Tang Ning saw Xie Yunting's face flush uncontrollably. This time, even his neck turned red. It was as if a surge of hot blood rushed to Xie Yunting's head, and Xie Yunting's mind was filled with thoughts like "He's so cute, he's so cute, he's so cute!"
At the same time, the vague feeling of being spied on suddenly became several times stronger, making Tang Ning feel what it meant to be on edge.
It seems like I found the direction.
Tang Ning turned quickly and looked towards the first floor of the teaching building. The moment he turned, the feeling of being spied on disappeared without a trace.
Tang Ning withdrew his gaze and continued to rub his chin. He felt that the direction of his previous test was correct. This kind of stimulation was very effective for both Xie Yunting and the existence hiding in the dark.
So what's next? Increase the stimulation
The two of them walked to the motorcycle. Xie Yunting got on the motorcycle and Tang Ning sat on the back seat. He thought for a moment and did not put on his helmet immediately. Instead, he hugged Xie Yunting's waist and rubbed his soft face against Xie Yunting's back.
This action is imitating the happiness of his family.
Every time Kai Xin rubbed against Tang Ning like this, Tang Ning felt like her heart was about to burst.
However, when he was trying to get close to Xie Yunting, Tang Ning only felt the vicissitudes of life in his heart.
His real age is not 18 years old, no, even if he is a high school boy, it would be too…
But his body is really young, the baby fat on his face is still there. In real life, Tang Ning has tried many methods to slim down his face in order to look good on camera, trying to get rid of any excess fat on his cheeks. If he were to rub his real face against someone, it would definitely not give him such a feeling.
When Tangning was busy with his work, he could feel Xie Yunting tense up and the muscles on his back hardened.
Tang Ning calmly lifted up the skin and took a look, and indeed, she found that the back of Xie Yunting's neck was red.
A loud noise suddenly came from not far away, and Tang Ning was a little startled. He looked over and saw that all the glass on the first floor was shattered. The students in the classroom screamed and ran out. The corridor was full of people. Tang Ning couldn't tell who was sneaking around and watching him.
The buzzing sound of the motorcycle was like Xie Yunting's chaotic heartbeat. Tang Ning hugged Xie Yunting's thin waist and quietly looked at the scenery on the roadside. His heart was particularly stable now, his face was not red and he was not out of breath. He deserved the description of "calm as water".
The strange gaze was still following him stealthily, but Tang Ning was too lazy to look back because he realized that the other party might have maxed out his evasion skills. Even if he had an extra pair of eyes on the back of his head, he would still find it difficult to spot the strange gaze.
Since he can't find it, then he shouldn't look for it anymore and just wait for it to come to him.
Tang Ning didn't believe that the existence would hide like this until the end.
They returned to the Xie family together. The elders of the Xie family were not at home at the moment. Xie Yunting cut a plate of fruit, brought it out and placed it in front of the desk where they studied together, and then took out various study materials.
When Tang Ning saw the forgotten high school knowledge, he felt that the one-to-two-two was too much. He didn't want to study with Xie Yunting like this in the future. After all, with his current level, he couldn't solve 80% of the questions. Even if he studied hard now, the difficulty was no less than building a tall building on a low ground.
Tang Ning also believed that the card game would not set the second difficult problem on the college entrance examination paper. He needed more time to explore. It would be much more useful to figure out what was following him than to concentrate on doing the questions here.
Looking at Xie Yunting who was about to start working on his homework, Tangning said, "The college entrance exam is only two days away. Studying is what we have been doing for so many years. What is more important now is to adjust our mindset and relax, isn't it?"
Afraid that Xie Yunting would not agree, Tang Ning hesitated for a moment and added another K.
After doing this once and twice, he became familiar with it. Now he can use this shell to act cute more naturally.
As expected, Xie Yunting was very fond of this and agreed if he had any resistance.
I am such a despicable adult.
Tang Ning reflected on himself. After all, Xie Yunting was just a little kid in front of him yesterday. Now he has grown up in the blink of an eye, but the cute image of little Xie Yunting still lingers in his mind. He always feels guilty that he is bullying a child.
"Do you still remember the first time I visited your home?" Tangning asked.
"Of course, you are the first and only best friend I brought home." When Xie Yunting mentioned the word good friend, he suddenly realized that they are now good friends who express their feelings to each other. Does this mean that they are no longer good friends
Tangning didn't understand why Xie Yunting looked so confused again. He said casually, "You took me to your secret base."
After thinking about this, Xie Yunting became even more nervous.
What's wrong
Tangning narrowed her eyes and asked tentatively, "Secret base..."
Xie Yunting said quickly: "There's everything over there."
Oh wow. Looks like there's something going on in the secret base.
Tangning immediately said, "I really want to go to the secret base and take a look."
Afraid that Xie Yunting would refuse, Tangning gave him another thousand as an extra gift.
This made Xie Yunting hold back the rejection that was about to come out of his mouth, but he also agreed immediately. It was unclear whether he had developed a resistance to K, or if there was really something in the secret base that he didn't want Tangning to see.
Tangning continued to pull at Xie Yunting's sleeve. He quickly recalled all the cute and adorable poses in his mind. He took a deep breath, tilted his head back, puffed out his cheeks, and deeply regretted his actions. Only then did he hold his face with his hands with some difficulty, "I want to see."
Xie Yunting's pupils were dilated, and he was completely unable to take his eyes off the lovely Tangning's face. Even his thoughts stopped working for a moment. Xie Yunting covered his nose and said in a trembling voice, "...Okay."
Tangning recovered in a second and said, "Let's go."
He stood up and saw Xie Yunting standing beside him, looking shaky after being hit by the cuteness.
Well, Xie Yunting really likes the way he acts cute.
Tang Ning thought about it and remembered that when he and little Xie Yunting first met, he was posing with his nose pressed against the window. At that time, Xie Yunting, who looked like a little adult, immediately smiled with his eyes curved.
Is it true that age makes you older
They went to the secret base together, walked through the corridors covered with calligraphy and paintings, passed one door after another, and finally stopped in front of the long-dusty gate.
Xie Yunting pushed open the door, and the dust accumulated in the light danced like elves. The tall wooden box at first now seemed much smaller when viewed from an adult's perspective. The curtains were still half-closed, revealing half of the bronze mirror.
At first glance, it seems like nothing else.
Could it be that... Tangning's eyes fell on the wooden box.
Xie Yunting leaned over to open his treasure chest with some hesitation. Tang Ning stood beside Xie Yunting. His eyes were once again attracted by the flickering light on the bronze mirror. Perhaps it was not the light, but the prying eyes that made Tang Ning concerned.
Tang Ning recalled that when he first came to this place, he saw the outline of the ghost classmate who was following them through the bronze mirror. This place should be considered a weak point in the Xie family's defense, right
Is that being following us now, lying here and peeking at us
Tang Ning stared at the bronze mirror intently, wondering what he could see from it.
Xie Yunting on this side had already opened his treasure chest. Tang Ning shifted his gaze from the bronze mirror and looked inside the chest.
This time, there were many more portraits in the box, and there was only one person in each portrait, and that was Tang Ning.
It’s Tang Ning who has been with me since I was a child.
At the beginning, when Xie Yunting wanted to give Tang Ning a painting by Grandpa Xie, Tang Ning said it would be better to give her a work you painted yourself. Since then, Xie Yunting started to paint all kinds of things, and the one he painted the most was Tang Ning.
This was why Xie Yunting didn't want Tangning to see it.
He wanted to paint the best picture for Tang Ning, but every time he painted, his paintings were not as beautiful as Tang Ning herself.
But Xie Yunting was reluctant to throw away anything related to Tang Ning, so he put all the paintings in the wooden box.
Tang Ning squatted beside the wooden box and took out all the portraits, a very thick dozen. He started from the first one, which was a bus. All the windows were foggy, except for one window with a piggy nose printed on it, which was particularly clear.
Next to the painting was a line of small words that read: "My new friend Tang Ning, I like him so much."
Tang Ning turned to the second picture and saw a child staring at the bird's nest and yawning. His eyes were red and he looked like he had just woken up.
Small print reads: "Birds will like his hair too."
The first picture showed Tangning lying on a large turtle shell, with small characters carefully written stroke by stroke: "Grandpa Turtle likes him too."
The fourth photo shows Tang Ning and the ferret lying on a wooden board together in the sun, with small words written on it: "Xiao Bai likes him too."
…
Tang Ning flipped through the pictures one by one. All the people and things that appeared in the pictures liked Tang Ning. Mom and Dad liked Tang Ning, Grandpa and Grandma liked Tang Ning, and so did my brothers, sisters, uncles, and aunts. The ice cream seller liked Tang Ning, the stray cats passing by liked Tang Ning, the sun liked Tang Ning, and the flowers and plants liked Tang Ning...
The brushstrokes of this portrait go from immature to mature, recording Tang Ning in Xie Yunting.
The words that appear most frequently in the long or short sentences next to it are "like" and "Tang Ning".
Tangning raised her head and looked at the embarrassed Xie Yunting. Looking at this person who was his childhood sweetheart in the card world, Xie Yunting said awkwardly, "It's not a good drawing."
"It's a great painting." Tangning said seriously, "Thank you for your great painting."
Regardless of whether Xie Yunting was a prince or not, at this moment, Tang Ning really liked this warmth, which allowed him, who was wandering and struggling in the card world, to suddenly feel the long-lost warmth of peace.
The bronze mirror shook a bit, and Tang Ning looked up. Before the blurry trace faded away, he caught a glimpse of an extremely strange figure.
It seems to be a face with green face and fangs
Tang Ning was startled. When he wanted to take a look, the bronze mirror was empty.
"Yunting, Ningning!" Xie's mother's voice came from outside the door. Xie Yunting opened the door and waved to Tang Ning.
Tangning stood up and saw the elders of the Xie family appearing with bags and bags. "Come here, this is the talisman that grandma asked Wenquxing for you. You must wear it when you take the college entrance examination. Got it?"
"This is the stationery we got from the master today. When we use this pen during the exam, we will be able to write with ease."
"This is the big fish I caught today. I'll ask mom to cook it for you to nourish your bodies..."
The elders' love and care surrounded Tang Ning and Xie Yunting. Tang Ning was loved even more than Xie Yunting. Grandma Xie touched Tang Ning's cheek lovingly, "Oh, our Ning Ning has studied too hard recently and has become so thin. Grandma will make you some pigeon wine to nourish your body later."
"Mom, Ningning has to eat the fish I caught tonight, and then the pigeon you prepared." Xie's father protested.
"When can't you eat your fish? How can it be as delicious as the pigeon soup I made?" Grandma Xie pressed Tangning's shoulders with concern, "You've lost weight. Studying is really hard. Ningning is the hardest-working person in our family. Sigh, you finally gained some weight, but how come you're so tired when you get older?"
Grandpa Xie coughed and handed a box of peach cakes to Tangning, "Have some snacks."
Tang Ning's hands were filled with too many things at once. He stared blankly at the elders of the Xie family. The love and care that each of them showed for him was real.
"Why are you stuffing things into Xiaoning's hands?" Xie Yunting said dissatisfiedly, "It's too heavy, Xiaoning, give it to me, I'll help you carry it."
The dinner was very sumptuous and Tang Ning ate a lot in one go.
In the blink of an eye, time passed quickly again. The Xie family drove Tangning and Xie Yunting to the examination room. Mother Xie kept comforting Tangning and Xie Yunting not to be nervous. Father Xie couldn't stand it anymore and hugged Mother Xie, who looked very nervous. He smiled at the two children and said, "Come on."
Perhaps because there was a large family present this time, the prying eyes might have been afraid and appeared.
Tang Ning entered the examination room. The first exam was Chinese. Tang Ning asked for a pen fairy and watched the fairy answer the questions. At the end of this subject, Tang Ning walked out of the examination room, but he heard the voices of the candidates around him discussing the last exam.
As expected, the card game did not focus on the exam. Tang Ning estimated that his performance in the other subjects would depend on his level after being tutored by Xie Yunting in this world, so his grades should not be too bad.
This exam sounds easy, but in reality it tests the player's accumulation of first place in dungeons. Tang Ning believes that if his mother entrusted him to the Xie family, his actual results would be even worse than in the real world.
The quality of the family environment has a great influence on academic performance.
With a nightmare start like Lin Yun's, his performance this time was far below the real level in the real world.
"Xiao Ning!" Tang Ning, who was daydreaming, heard Xie Yunting's voice. Tang Ning looked up and saw Xie Yunting running towards him through the crowd. He gave Tang Ning a big hug before he was prepared.
He hugged her so tightly that Tang Ning's feet were slightly off the ground.
"Let's go travel this summer, shall we?" Xie Yunting let go of Tangning, but he still held her hands. His eyes sparkled, "Let's go out and have fun for a month."
The intimate gestures of holding hands and hugging never attracted those strange prying eyes, as if the cold and terrifying gaze had never appeared.
"Tang Ning..." A timid voice came from not far away. Tang Ning turned around and saw a cute girl with several female classmates standing behind her.
"I've liked you for a long time." The woman handed over the love letter with both hands.
Xie Yunting stood aside, his expression a little tense, especially since Tang Ning let go of his hand to receive the letter.
Tangning did not take the letter immediately, but instead said, "Excuse me, do you know if anyone sent me a love letter before?"
When Xie Yunting threw the love letter out, Tang Ning always remembered it. Although the people who send love letters in this world are similar to NPCs, Tang Ning always felt that it was not a good idea to do so. No matter whether the other party is a person, data, a ghost or something else, sending a love letter shows the sincerity of another person.
Even if he doesn't like the other person, he shouldn't treat the love letter like that. If someone really found the love letter thrown away in the garbage, they would probably be very sad.
Tangning wanted to apologize to that person.
But what made Tangning think was that the girl's eyes widened and she asked in disbelief, "Did someone send you a love letter first? I don't know who it was. We all thought you would definitely reject it. In order not to affect your mentality for the exam, everyone in the group said that they would wait until after the college entrance examination to send it."
is that so
Tangning took the love letter from the girl. He was about to say no when she waved her hand and said, "Thank you for appearing in my high school life!"
She looked like she just wanted to express her affection.
I felt good just to be able to send that letter.
