Chapter 1112: Bad Child
Bad Child
After an unknown amount of time, he finally stretched out his hand, gently kneading his own temples.
"What a bizarre dream..."
Chen Ling believed that he wouldn't dream of the Thought Calamity for no reason, much less go to Storm Island. But even in the dream, the Thought Calamity didn't seem to show hostility, but was instead trying to convey something to him... Was it communicating with the Calamity of Mockery inside his body?
Chen Ling didn't know. He planned to ask Teacher Ye again when he had free time today.
Chen Ling slowly stood up from his seat, sweeping a glance at the chaotic desk in front of him, as well as the complicated notebooks one after another... His expression was somewhat strange.
Ever since graduating from university... oh no, ever since graduating from high school, he hadn't seriously studied. After so many years, his immunity to textbooks had truly improved a lot. Last night he thought about staying up late to catch up on progress, but ended up falling asleep while reading.
"Self-study is still somewhat difficult ah..." Chen Ling sighed.
After hesitating for a moment, he neatly tidied up all the notebooks and textbooks on the desk, and then pushed the door open and left.
In this way, there was only one most suitable candidate left...
"Hello, how do I get to Little Peach's dorm?"
Chen Ling stopped a student preparing to go to the Cafeteria.
"Little Peach ah, you go down one floor, and then walk to the end along the left path. The innermost dorm is the one."
"Alright, thank you."
Following the student's guidance, Chen Ling walked all the way downstairs. The Integration Faction had roughly over a hundred people. Because the space inside the Mother Tree was limited, most students could only stay two to a room. Those who had a single room like Zhao Yi and Chen Ling were an extreme minority, not to mention Chen Ling's 270-degree luxurious balcony suite.
At this time it was already early morning. Many students had already gotten up to wash up. Some went downstairs to eat, some went to the gym to exercise, and some sat under the canopy of the Mother Tree reading books... After pondering for a moment, Chen Ling specially took a lap around this floor first.
In Chen Ling's impression, Little Peach should be that kind of top student type girl, with an erratic personality but extremely hard-working. The probability of her getting up early to study was very high, but he circled the entire floor and couldn't find Little Peach's figure. Ultimately, he still walked towards her dorm.
Standing at the door of Little Peach's dorm, Chen Ling heard faint noisy sounds coming from inside, and doubtfully knocked on the door gently.
Knock knock knock——
The noisy sounds didn't weaken, but very quickly, a girl opened the dorm door.
Chen Ling had seen this girl before. It seemed her name was Miaomiao, slightly older than Little Peach. Right now she was standing at the door wearing a nightgown. Seeing the figure outside the door, her whole person suddenly froze in place.
"You... you you you... how come you..." Miaomiao hummed and hawed, unable to speak.
"I'm here to find Little Peach, is she in?"
"She... she... uh..."
Miaomiao glanced behind her somewhat guiltily.
At the same time, Little Peach's wild and unrestrained voice sounded from the room with extreme penetrating power.
"... So! I'm fcking convinced, which fcking author came up with this kind of f*cking plot?! The second male lead painstakingly chased her for so long, how could she be blind and insist on being with that idiot first male lead?!! The first male lead cheated to that extent and she still follows him like she's possessed!! What's wrong with taking another look at our second male lead?!!"
"I'm so mad!! I'm really so mad!! This is simply fcking bullsht!! Seeing the grand finale last night made me so mad I couldn't sleep all night!!"
"(Sound of fiercely taking a drag of a cigarette)"
"(Top-tier lung inhalation)"
"Do you understand how I feel? Staying up so many nights to read the story, only to feed me a mouthful of sht at the end, I'm really fcking speechless. If I read the story written by this f*cking author again in the future, I'll jump down from here!!"
Chen Ling looked up blankly, only to see that on the dorm balcony, a young girl wrapped in cute brown bear pajamas was currently stepping on a stool with one leg. In front of her was a burning Brazier, and vaguely, a book with an exaggerated cover could be seen slowly curling and carbonizing in the flames...
The young girl patted her thigh with one hand, and held a burning thin cigarette in her mouth with the other. As if not having vented her anger, she fiercely took another drag. The exhaled clouds and mist mixed with the burning smoke, drifting in the air.
"Li... Little Peach..." Miaomiao called out to her with a stiff expression.
Seemingly hearing the sound of the door opening, the young girl's beast ears twitched gently, and she turned her head to look out the door.
At the instant her gaze met Chen Ling's subtle gaze, the young girl trembled all over, her whole person stiffening in place as if she had seen a ghost.
The air fell into a patch of deathly silence.
Chen Ling realized that perhaps the timing of his arrival was inappropriate. Just as he was about to say something, a sharp exploding screech almost pierced his eardrums.
"Ahhhhhhh!!!!"
Little Peach screamed and rushed into the bathroom at the side, locking the door with abang. Then a burst of crazy foot-stomping sounds could be heard, as if stomping out a dropped cigarette butt.
And then, the bathroom fell into deathly silence again.
Chen Ling: ...
"How about, I come back later." Chen Ling spoke tentatively, turning around and preparing to leave.
Just at this moment, a slight sound of the door handle turning rang out. As the bathroom door slowly opened, a pair of beast ears silently poked out from inside...
"Bi... Big Brother Chen Ling... what business do you have looking for me?" Little Peach's voice was somewhat trembling.
"I read the notes last night, and there are a few places I didn't understand, so I wanted to come ask you."
Chen Ling didn't put on airs because the other party was younger than him, but humbly asked for guidance. After all, although Little Peach wasn't old, she had been in the Integration Faction for a very long time, and learned far more things than himself.
"Then... then wait for me a moment..."
The dorm door closed gently.
Chen Ling just stood outside the door like this. After waiting for about two minutes, the dorm door finally opened.
Only to see that Little Peach had already changed into that clean flaxen-yellow coat, holding books and a pencil case in her arms. She lowered her head, not daring to look at Chen Ling, only the animal hairpin on her ear swaying and reflecting the sunlight.
"Let's go... we're going to the library." Little Peach said softly.
"Alright."
Chen Ling nodded, following behind Little Peach towards the direction of the library. The Great Crimson Theatrical Robe was still somewhat eye-catching within the Integration Faction, and along the way many people cast their gazes over here. In comparison, the petite young girl silently walking in front was as if ignored by the world.
Finally, Little Peach still couldn't hold back anymore. She tightly hugged the books and pencil case with both hands, lowering her head and asking softly:
"Big Brother Chen Ling... did you see everything?"
"..." Chen Ling could only truthfully answer "mhm". "Saw a little bit..."
Little Peach suddenly stopped her footsteps. She stood in front of the giant window of the Mother Tree. Sunlight shone on her body through the natural tree hollow, illuminating the young girl's eye sockets bright red.
She turned her head, looking at Chen Ling with wet eye sockets, and spoke softly:
"Say... if Brother Renjie sees me becoming a bad child like this... will he be sad?"
