Bai Qingqing saw Zhang Xin's dislike for her and was confused, but she didn't want to understand. She lowered her head and sent a text message to Curtis.
"Bring a piece of cotton cloth here at noon, I'm laying eggs."
After sending the message, Bai Qingqing stared at her phone. The class bell rang, and the next moment her phone also rang.
Bai Qingqing hurriedly hung up the phone and sent another text message: "It's not convenient to answer, please reply to the text message."
It was quiet for a while, and finally a text message came back: "Wait for me in the classroom at noon. I will go in to find you."
Even though it was just a simple text, Bai Qingqing could feel the deep care. She replied at the last moment: "No, I'm fine. See you at the same place."
After sending it, Bai Qingqing put the phone in the drawer and went to class with peace of mind.
In the fourth period of class, Bai Qingqing asked a classmate to pick up a black plastic bag, wrapped the egg in it, went downstairs, and walked straight to the back of the teaching building. Sure enough, she saw a slender figure on the wall.
"Curtis, I'm here!" Bai Qingqing called softly.
Curtis jumped down from the height of three floors, rushed to Bai Qingqing's side with an angry voice, picked her up and jumped out of the school.
"Hey, Curtis?" Bai Qingqing looked back at the school wall in panic, "This is truancy, and I will be in trouble if I get caught."
"So you don't care about your health?" Curtis saw the egg in Bai Qingqing's arms and became even more angry. He grabbed it and tried to smash it.
"How dare you!" Bai Qingqing was so frightened that the hairs all over her body stood up, and she raised her voice uncontrollably.
Curtis' hand paused in the air, his expression terrifyingly gloomy. He looked at Bai Qingqing silently for a while and then put down his hand.
Bai Qingqing relaxed her body with relief, quickly snatched the egg back, and said softly: "It's okay, I just sit still in class. There is no physical education class today, so I won't be tired."
Curtis carried Bai Qingqing to an abandoned building sheltered from the wind, put Bai Qingqing on the ground, and said, "Let's eat."
"Well." Bai Qingqing didn't dare to offend Curtis, so she indulged herself and ate outside. "Where's Moore? Does he know?"
"I'll tell him when I get back," Curtis said.
"This egg should be the last one. Moore is going to hatch it. I vaguely remember that there is an egg incubator. Why don't you tell him about it? Hatching eggs is quite hard. Maybe it can make him relax."
Curtis' anger was suppressed, leaving only pity. He rubbed the soft and warm top of Bai Qingqing's hair and said, "You worked so hard to lay eggs, why should you let him take it easy? I won't tell you."
"I can call him." Bai Qingqing said with a smile.
Curtis' face started to darken again.
During meal time, Bai Qingqing checked the egg incubator on Taobao and called Moore.
But Moore refused without thinking, which made Curtis' expression soften.
After eating, Curtis sent Bai Qingqing in through the courtyard wall. Bai Qingqing just turned a corner and met Zhang Xin at the door of the empty teaching building.
Zhang Xin leaned against the wall of the teaching building and hugged his chest. When he heard Bai Qingqing's footsteps, he didn't look back and said coldly: "You're back?"
Bai Qingqing was shocked: "You... you're not following me, are you?"
Did he see Curtis? There shouldn't be, otherwise Curtis would have discovered him long ago.
Thinking of this, Bai Qingqing felt relieved and walked towards him calmly, "I went out for a trip. You haven't had lunch yet? There are still fifteen minutes, so hurry up and buy something to eat."
