Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning are both relatively tall, with youthful figures, well-built bones, slender limbs, and fair skin. Their looks make them very eye-catching in the crowd.
Therefore, as soon as they entered the classroom, almost everyone recognized that the people hugging were Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning.
The air was quiet for a second, and the expressions on the faces of the students watching and Ji Mingxia were almost frozen.
Ji Mingxia's mind went blank and he didn't know how to react for a moment.
According to Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning's original plan, they chose this time to run to the classroom. One reason was that the classroom was quiet and they could fight with the ghost without easily affecting others.
The second reason is that ghost images are easily disturbed by external factors.
Although Yu Ning was confident that he could deal with the ghost, if anything unexpected happened and both Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning were in danger, they had to be fully prepared and have a retreat.
As class time approaches, a large number of students will flock to the classroom for morning self-study.
If one or two people faced the ghost, it might be dangerous, but with dozens of people rushing in, no matter how powerful the ghost was, it would be helpless.
In this way, there is a high probability that Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning will be rescued by students coming to class.
Although it was not good to be seen Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning alone in the classroom, when it came to their lives, they could not care less.
Therefore, before coming to the classroom, Ji Mingxia was prepared for the possibility that he and Yu Ning would be seen by their classmates.
But Ji Mingxia never expected that what he would see was such a scene.
He had just come back to his senses from the fear of being dominated by the ghost. He had finally survived the disaster and had no time to celebrate with Yu Ning before he ran into the students coming for morning self-study!
Everyone's eyes moved back and forth between Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning.
Ji Mingxia was stunned and stiff.
Yu Ning was the first to react and quickly pushed Ji Mingxia away.
When he pushed him away, he used clever strength in his hands. Although it was Yu Ning who took the initiative to push Ji Mingxia away, from the perspective of the onlookers, it seemed as if Ji Mingxia pushed Yu Ning away who was leaning on him.
There were whispers all around, all talking about Yu Ning and Ji Mingxia. Especially Ji Mingxia, who had just taken the second place in the quiz yesterday, and was caught like this today.
Even students who were fully focused on preparing for the college entrance examination couldn't help but eat the melon.
There are classmates who get along closely in the classroom every day. If Ji Mingxia had replaced someone else, even a girl, it would not have caused such a big reaction.
However, the person he hugged was actually Yu Ning.
Yu Ning... Everyone felt unlucky even if they looked at him, let alone touching him.
I don’t know what Ji Mingxia is thinking.
Zhao Zhuoyue, Chen Zhen and others were mixed in the crowd. Seeing this, Zhao Zhuoyue was the first to react and shouted, "Ji Mingxia, what are you doing?"
"What's going on? Didn't you get up early to clean the classroom? Are you being harassed by someone?" Chen Zhen also said.
"Are you okay? We brought you breakfast. Wash your hands and come over to eat. Don't pay attention to that kind of person."
Several roommates said this and quickly pushed Yu Ning aside. They surrounded Ji Mingxia and started talking to each other to heat up the atmosphere.
Although he did not mention any names, the implication was that he was trying to quickly clear Ji Mingxia from the matter.
Yu Ning squeezed to a seat at the back where no one was interested. He held his left wrist with his right hand, returned to his seat, packed up his textbooks, then stood up and left through the back door of the classroom.
While Ji Mingxia was distracted, Yu Ning was pushed to the back and prepared to leave the classroom. Seeing Yu Ning was about to leave, Ji Mingxia was about to chase him, but Zhao Zhuoyue stopped him.
Zhao Zhuoyue winked at Ji Mingxia and lowered his voice and said, "Mingxia, there are so many people watching, where are you going?"
"Don't bother with people like Yu Ning."
"Class is about to start, hurry up and eat breakfast. Everyone will be focusing on studying soon and won't have time to care about you."
Everyone lowered their voices and tried to persuade them one by one. Although they didn't know what was going on between Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning, their first reaction was to help Ji Mingxia clear himself quickly and restore his reputation.
Ji Mingxia looked at his roommates and knew that they meant well.
In everyone's opinion, Yu Ning is really not a normal person. Whoever comes into contact with him will be unlucky.
Anyone who makes friends with Yu Ning will be considered an outlier and will be ostracized by everyone.
This is the "unspoken rule" that is tacitly accepted by the entire campus and even the entire county.
Because they grew up in such an atmosphere, no one thought there was anything wrong.
Anyway, it was Yu Ning who was excluded, and Yu Ning was different from ordinary people.
When Ji Mingxia first came here, in order to maintain his supporting character and to save his own life, he also abided by this default rule.
But now it's different.
The ghost stared at him, and Yu Ning saw through Ji Mingxia's disguise. The two of them even experienced an extremely thrilling battle in the classroom.
The most important thing is that before the ghost disappeared, Ji Mingxia only felt a pain in his left wrist, as if there was a knife cut.
At that time, Ji Mingxia thought it was a ghost that hurt his hand.
It was not until Yu Ning left and covered his left wrist with his right hand that Ji Mingxia looked down and found that his wrist was smooth and unharmed.
On the first day Ji Mingxia came here, he discovered that his life was tied to Yu Ning's. When Yu Ning was injured, Ji Mingxia immediately felt the same pain.
So just now, it was Yu Ning who defeated the ghost despite being injured.
Until now, Ji Mingxia's wrist still hurts slightly, which shows how deep the wound on Yu Ning's wrist is.
Maybe this is the reason why Yu Ning left the classroom.
Knowing that Yu Ning was injured and left, Ji Mingxia sat in the classroom indifferently, eating breakfast, anxious to cut off ties with him...
Ji Mingxia asked himself, he couldn't do it.
Anyway, his character has already collapsed, so this little bit doesn't matter.
Ji Mingxia thought very naively in his heart. He looked at several roommates apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, everyone. There is one thing I have kept from you for a long time. I have always wanted to be honest, but I have never had the courage. Now that you have seen it... I have decided not to hide it from you."
When several roommates heard this, they were shocked.
Ji Mingxia's apologetic expression and serious tone and content made several roommates feel an indescribable feeling: "Ji Mingxia, you and Yu Ning, you two..."
"Yes, you guessed right." Ji Mingxia nodded frankly and admitted it without waiting for everyone to finish speaking.
There were sounds of gasps coming from all around, and everyone looked at Ji Mingxia in shock.
Zhao Zhuoyue became even more anxious and shouted directly: "Ji Mingxia, did you get up too early to do your duty in the morning? Your head is still not clear."
Ji Mingxia had thought that everyone would look at him strangely, but he didn't expect that everyone's reaction would be even greater than he imagined.
Even though he was prepared, he still felt terrible pressure when everyone gasped and looked at him in surprise.
He was just friends with Yu Ning, but he had to endure such strange looks and pressure. He couldn't imagine how Yu Ning lived his normal life.
Fortunately, Yu Ning is the protagonist of this world. Although he suffered a lot in the first eighteen years of his life, his future is bright and smooth.
Thinking of this, Ji Mingxia felt a little better. He tried to hypnotize himself in his mind that the people around him were all paper people, and tried not to be too nervous.
Afterwards, Ji Mingxia met everyone's gaze, smiled at Zhao Zhuoyue, and said something golden: "I am very sober now. I have never been so sober before."
Everyone was speechless for a moment, and several roommates were greatly shocked.
Others might not understand, but they were in the same dormitory with Ji Ming and Xia Yuning, and they saw each other every day, so some things could not be hidden from them at all.
Thinking about it carefully, Yu Ning and Ji Mingxia had not shown any abnormality before, but in the past few days, there were indeed some signs...
Thinking of this, Chen Zhen couldn't help but feel heartbroken: "We are not saying that we want to oppose you, but Ming Xia, why did it have to be Yu Ning?"
"The college entrance examination is coming soon. Can't we talk about it after the exam?"
"Look, Yu Ning ran away, leaving you alone in the classroom to bear everything. How could it be worth it for you to come out publicly for him?"
"Ji Mingxia, wake up, this kind of person is not worth it!"
As the roommates spoke, they became more and more annoyed and couldn't help but raise their voices.
Ji Mingxia was about to endure the baptism of rumors and winds. The more he listened, the more he felt that the content... seemed to be a little wrong
Shouldn't we use common words like "different" and "monster"
Why is what everyone said completely different from what Ji Mingxia imagined
What about being spineless and irresponsible... What about coming out publicly
Is this what he meant by “coming out”
Ji Mingxia had a bad feeling in his heart. Seeing that several roommates were looking at him with grief, he asked them carefully, "What are you talking about?"
"You're talking about your romance with Yu Ning." Zhao Zhuoyue became more and more annoyed, kicking a chair and angrily saying, "You might as well choose a straight man like me instead of him. How can such a spineless and irresponsible softie be worthy of you!"
Love?? !!
Ji Mingxia was so shocked that he almost fainted.
He said! He was just friends with Yu Ning. According to his estimation, at most people would point fingers at him from behind and talk about him. But the reaction of everyone was much more terrible than he imagined.
Not only did several roommates try to persuade them to stop, but the whole class didn't even bother to study and just stood there and watched the show.
It turns out that what they are eating is not the melon of friendship, but the melon of love!!
Ji Mingxia was almost going crazy. His face turned red because he was too excited. "What are you guys thinking about? When did Yu Ning and I start dating?!"
Fortunately, he had encountered the ghost and had experienced some storms, otherwise Ji Mingxia would have been scared to death.
I've seen people adding drama to the show, but I've never seen it added to this extent. He is supposed to be a love mentor, how can he be a couple with Yu Ning!
Ji Mingxia was so anxious that she almost stuttered: "You...you...I don't look like I'm in love with Yu Ning at all, huh?!"
Although Yu Ning is a closeted person, he has not met Pei Yuan yet, has not awakened at all, and is basically asexual.
As for Ji Mingxia... he is a straight man, a straight man!
Although he has been single for so many years and has never dated a girl, he has never dated a boy either, okay!
Ji Mingxia's face turned red with anxiety, which confused everyone.
Chen Zhen looked around in confusion: "So, what's the situation now?"
Zhao Zhuoyue was also surprised and asked: "So, you are not in a relationship with Yu Ning now, and the person you like is not him?"
"Of course there's no love!" Ji Mingxia said.
God have mercy on him, although he and Yu Ning were hugging each other, their revolutionary friendship had gone through life and death, and there was absolutely nothing impure about it!
Thinking of this, Ji Mingxia quickly said, "Yu Ning and I... we have a very pure friendship! Just now, Yu Ning helped me solve a big problem, and I was so excited that I hugged him to thank him... Just like how I treat you normally, don't we hug each other often?!"
"Really?" Zhao Zhuoyue looked at Ji Mingxia suspiciously and whispered, "Didn't you tell us quietly at the beginning of the school year that you like boys and don't like to have too close contact with people?"
Ji Mingxia was caught off guard and almost stumbled and fell to the ground.
He suddenly remembered... Although he and Ji Mingxia in this world had similar life experiences, the biggest difference was that Ji Mingxia in this world, in order to fit in with the role of love mentor of the protagonists, was a homosexual and had experience in love!
Although Ji Mingxia in this world doesn’t know whether her ex-boyfriend is round or flat.
But this is an objective fact after all.
The subtle difference in life triggered a series of butterfly effects, which ultimately led to everyone's misunderstanding of the relationship between him and Yu Ning.
If it were in his original world, it would be absolutely impossible for such a ridiculous misunderstanding to occur!
Thinking of this, Ji Mingxia managed to calm down. He looked at everyone and said, "Yu Ning has always been the top student in the school since elementary school. His study method is different from ours, and he is very keen on predicting exam questions. So, I have been pestering Yu Ning recently, asking him to help me. This is why my academic performance has improved in a short period of time and I immediately got second place in the class in the quiz."
“That’s it??” Zhao Zhuoyue almost vomited blood after hearing this.
Ji Mingxia nodded helplessly: "Yes, that's it."
"What's there to be sorry about? It's so mysterious..." Zhao Zhuoyue muttered.
Ji Mingxia was also covered in cold sweat.
He almost came out to the whole class without realizing it, along with the main character!
This is simply a social death!
Fortunately, the explanation was finally made clear. Ji Mingxia said, "I think that I secretly asked Yu Ning for help and mastered the secret of learning through him, but I didn't tell you all this time. It's not good. Who would have thought that you would imagine... Okay, now that everything is finally made clear, I'm leaving first."
"Class is about to start, where are you going?" Chen Zhen said hurriedly.
If it weren't for the mistake just now, Ji Mingxia would definitely admit that he was going to chase Yu Ning.
But Ji Mingxia couldn't say anything as he had just been suspected of his relationship. He gestured with his hand to the direction where Yu Ning left through the back door of the classroom, just to let everyone understand.
As he walked out of the classroom quickly, Ji Mingxia said, "I will ask the teacher for leave later. I will not come to class this morning. See you in the afternoon!"
After saying this, he could no longer stand the awkward atmosphere in the classroom, so he ran away, leaving the whole class standing there, looking at each other in bewilderment.
Zhao Zhuoyue said: "He went to find Yu Ning alone... Should we follow him and see for ourselves?"
"Forget it, Mingxia is not a child anymore, let him handle it himself." Chen Zhen said.
Zhao Zhuoyue couldn't help but mutter, "Are you sure we misunderstood? Is there really nothing going on between them?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Zhen and others spread their hands helplessly.
After the shocking news of "Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning are in love" was clarified, it was learned that Ji Mingxia was just asking Yu Ning for advice on study methods. Not to mention several roommates, even the classmates who were watching lost interest.
As the class bell rang, everyone quickly seized the time and entered the final sprint of study.
On the other side of the campus, downstairs of the senior high school teaching building.
After Yu Ning left the classroom, he stood in the corner downstairs of the teaching building for a while, paying close attention to the movements at the door of his and Ji Mingxia's classroom.
Seeing that Ji Mingxia did not come out, the classroom entrance was quiet and everyone stayed in the classroom well, as if nothing was different from usual. Yu Ning relaxed a little.
He knew very well what kind of alien he was in the eyes of others.
Whoever gets close to him will be implicated.
His classmates saw him and Ji Mingxia hugging each other. If he wanted to reduce the attention and stop the rumors, the best way was not for him and Ji Mingxia to clarify together, but for Yu Ning to leave the scene quickly.
Ji Mingxia is good-looking. Not only does she have good grades, she also has a good personality. She has always been popular in school.
Although their roommates looked fierce on weekdays, they were very protective of Ji Mingxia.
With Ji Mingxia's own popularity as a foundation and the protection of his roommates, plus the fact that his classmates are all busy studying and don't have the time to gossip, as long as Yu Ning and Ji Mingxia stop being together, I believe this matter will soon fade away.
After making sure Ji Mingxia was fine, Yu Ning left with peace of mind.
At this time, everyone was rushing to the teaching building for class. Yu Ning was walking against the crowd, which not only attracted attention but also caused other people's annoyance.
In order to avoid the crowd, Yu Ning deliberately took a long detour.
The wound on his left wrist began to bleed little by little as time went by.
In order to avoid being seen by others and causing unnecessary trouble, Yu Ning covered the wound on his left wrist with his right hand and slowly walked towards the dormitory building.
Dealing with the ghost just now had already consumed a lot of Yu Ning's energy. At this moment, the wound on his wrist was stinging from time to time. Although the wound was hidden, Yu Ning's originally pale face gradually became paler due to exhaustion.
Although I took a long detour along the way, I still met people occasionally.
Not to mention the students who accidentally met him, even the teachers who saw him from a distance saw that Yu Ning looked normal on the surface, but his face looked even more miserable and frightening than usual. The teachers were so taboo that they took a detour directly.
Yu Ning has long been accustomed to this.
It was not until they arrived at the dormitory door and took the key that Yu Ning let go of his hand tremblingly.
At this moment, not only was his left wrist covered in blood, but the palm of his right hand was also covered in blood.
This wound was not originally part of Yu Ning's plan.
Although the ghost's strength is increasing day by day, Yu Ning is still confident that he can take it down. The reason why he was injured is that at the last moment, Yu Ning heard Ji Mingxia's reminder and temporarily changed his mind.
Although there was an extra wound, it was not without gain.
The only pity is that the ghost has disappeared, and Ji Mingxia might never come to find him again.
I won't prepare hot water for him, I won't secretly give him a campus card, and I won't hide behind him in fear. I will rely on him and trust him wholeheartedly.
They will go back to being the same as before, two ordinary classmates with nothing to do with each other.
Even after the college entrance examination, everyone will go their separate ways and he may not even be able to see Ji Mingxia.
Thinking of this, Yu Ning lowered his eyelids, hiding the deep gloom in his eyes.
However, the hand holding the key was shaking even more violently due to the fluctuating emotions in my heart, and I couldn't insert the key into the keyhole to open the dormitory door.
Yu Ning pursed his lips and stood outside the dormitory with a sullen face.
Whenever he thought about never seeing Ji Mingxia again, he became extremely upset, and his mind was full of Ji Mingxia's appearance.
Even dark thoughts began to grow in my heart.
If he hadn't completely gotten rid of the ghost just now...
As long as the ghost is within the controllable range and leaves the ghost behind, Ji Mingxia will naturally stay by his side.
"Yu Ning."
Faintly, Yu Ning even heard Ji Mingxia calling him.
He twitched the corners of his mouth in self-mockery, thinking that he was just too tired and had hallucinations.
The ghost has disappeared, and Ji Mingxia is still in the classroom for morning self-study. How could he appear here
The next moment, there was a "click" sound, and the dormitory door was opened from the inside.
Ji Mingxia poked his head out of the dormitory, and when he saw Yu Ning, his eyes immediately lit up.
"Yu Ning, you're back!"
