At 12:40 PM, people were coming and going on the pedestrian street of Huacheng Institute of Technology.
Although it was called a pedestrian street, it was actually just a fork in Sakura Avenue. The street was straight, about two to three hundred meters long, with twenty to thirty small shops on either side.
Although the number wasn't large, the range of businesses was complete, from stationery and printing, to milk tea, fast food, and fruit, and then to accessories, daily necessities, and electronic products.
Between the last class in the morning and the first class in the afternoon at Huacheng Institute of Technology, there was only an hour and a half for lunch break. Going to the cafeteria for lunch and then wanting to go back to the dormitory for a nap was somewhat rushed.
Therefore, during every lunch break, many students would gather on the pedestrian street. After a short rest, they would go directly to the classroom for the first class in the afternoon.
In addition to students, teachers and Professors who had back-to-back classes, the last class in the morning and the first class in the afternoon, sometimes also liked to take a break on the pedestrian street. Professor Ma was one of them.
After eating lunch, he bought a cup of cold brew Tieguanyin tea at a milk tea shop and sat on a bench by the pedestrian street. He watched the students coming and going with a relaxed smile on his face, as if he saw himself at eighteen.
“It's great to be young!”
Professor Ma sighed, his gaze inadvertently sweeping across the corner of the street. The smile on his face froze, and the next moment he quickly looked back, his mouth twitching slightly.
In front of an accessory shop at the corner of the pedestrian street, he saw a familiar face.
It was a young man, eighteen or nineteen years old, with a handsome face, wearing a white T-shirt with a simple print, dark blue jeans, and a perfect upward curve at the corner of his mouth when he smiled. The overall feeling he gave was as clean and beautiful as the morning light in mid-spring.
Such a young man was not rare at Huacheng Institute of Technology, although not many. Logically, Professor Ma would not pay too much attention. After all, when he was young, he was a campus heartthrob.
But the key was that the young man was "Lu Yibei", and even more importantly, there were several girls gathered around him, and even more importantly, they seemed to be having a great time together.
"Lu Yibei, Lu Yibei, your skin is so good!"
"Really? I've been using a sleep cream recently, and the effect is amazing! You can also try it. A naturally beautiful Miss like you will definitely get better results than me just by wiping it on!" ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
"Oh? Really? Saying that makes me shy!"
"I'm serious! How about this, later, you come home with me, and I'll give you a new bottle to try?" "Okay, okay!"
While speaking, Lu Yibei looked at another girl beside him, frowned slightly, and said in feigned anger, "Student Ai, why do you have dark circles under your eyes? Haven't you been resting well lately? This won't do!"
"Ah? Do I? Uh, the recent advanced math class is too difficult, I don't understand it at all! I don't get it, why does the School of Literature have to study advanced math? I clearly chose this major because I'm not good at math."
"It's actually not that difficult. You're so smart. As long as you find the right method, there will be no problem. How about you also come to my place tonight? We can find the problem together?"
"Lu Yibei" said to the girl in a gentle tone, his tone sincere, coupled with that handsome face, making it difficult to suspect that he had any ulterior motives.
"But..." The girl hesitated.
"Oh, right! Student Lu is a top student, oh hey, I used to see him looking so cold and thought he had a strange personality and was difficult to get along with, I didn't expect..."
""
Professor Ma watched as "Lu Yibei", who had completely transformed into a public lover, surrounded by a group of girls, unscrupulously engaged in indiscriminate fishing, and he felt completely unwell.
He knew very well that that "Lu Yibei" was not the real Lu Yibei. He wasn't even human!
Seeing the scene before him, and then thinking of the eerie appearance of the Paper Cicada Immortal when Lu Yibei handed it to him, which was enough to cause mental pollution, he inexplicably felt a sense of fear, like artificial intelligence was attacking humans and a mecha crisis had erupted.
"Lu Yibei, Lu Yibei, Professor Ma seems to be looking at you all the time!"
"Oh? That's normal, I have a very good relationship with Professor Ma!"
While speaking, "Lu Yibei" looked towards Professor Ma. The moment their eyes met, the corners of his mouth curved upwards, revealing a meaningful, sinister smile that would give children nightmares.
What the heck? What does he want to do?
Professor Ma shivered, and half a cup of Tieguanyin in his hand spilled out. It was a hot day, but he felt a chill down his spine, and his old face turned pale. The smile of "Lu Yibei" reminded him of the grave robbers possessed by evil spirits he had encountered when he was young, exploring tombs with Lan Sheng and that mysterious young man.
That strange ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) thing, could it be trying to silence him? I'm the only one who knows its true identity, Professor Ma thought nervously. What's more, he clearly knew that such a terrifying strange thing had sneaked into the school and was harming students, regardless of gender, and he couldn't tell anyone.
Because, to some extent, he was also an accomplice!
In silence, he stared intently at "Lu Yibei" until "Lu Yibei" turned away his gaze and left the pedestrian street, talking and laughing with those girls. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, put down his teacup, and shakily sent a message to Lu Yibei.
Professor Ma: "Lu Yibei, when are you coming back? That thing you left behind is almost out of control!" In fact, Professor Ma didn't expect things to turn out this way.
The change in the Paper Cicada Immortal started about a week ago.
At first, Professor Ma only noticed that it had become more "lively" and more like a person than when Lu Yibei left, but the degree of change was very small, and Professor Ma didn't pay attention to it.
Soon after, about five days later, Professor Ma discovered that the Paper Cicada Immortal had actually started to interact with the classmates, and even played a football match with the boys in the class after school.
Before Lu Yibei left, he had told Professor Ma not to let the Paper Cicada Immortal come into contact with open flames or be subjected to violent collisions.
It wasn't until he saw that figure running on the green field, stealing the show, that Professor Ma realized something was wrong. The next day, he sent the first message to Lu Yibei, urging him to come back.
But at that time, he still didn't know what kind of change had occurred in the Paper Cicada Immortal, and he couldn't explain it clearly to Lu Yibei in phone calls or messages.
Today, seeing that the Paper Cicada Immortal had actually started flirting with girls, Professor Ma finally couldn't sit still.
If this continues, he might or might not be silenced by that strange thing, but the reputation of "Lu Yibei, the scumbag who plays with girls' feelings" is probably going to spread throughout the school and be confirmed.

At 1:03 PM, Huacheng Institute of Technology, female dormitory building with double rooms.
After arriving at Huacheng Institute of Technology and settling down, Hua Xieyu put on her backpack and prepared to go to class in the Liberal Arts Building.
Although the identity of "Yu Jianqiu" was just a guise created to facilitate contact with Lu Yibei, according to the man, since they were going to act, they should act the whole part.
Warm reminder: The Website is about to be revised, which may cause the loss of reading progress. Please save your "book shelf" and "reading record" in time (it is recommended to take screenshots to save). We apologize for the inconvenience caused!
"Yu Jianqiu" is a student at Huacheng Institute of Technology, and the setting is that she is a good student who loves to study. If she never goes to class, doesn't participate in school activities, and doesn't appear on campus much, she will eventually reveal her true identity.
Fortunately, Hua Xieyu is not resistant to the idea of experiencing campus life, and is even very interested.
In fact, when she was very young, she always envied the children of the neighbors who could go to school, while she could only hide in the "illegal building" on the top floor of the small building, watching those children walk away through the cracks in the window, longing.
However, later, as the last school in the Xiang Niangzi Cave area was also infiltrated and became a meeting place for a hidden cult organization, all the children had no school to attend...
Walking on the campus of Huacheng Institute of Technology, watching energetic students passing by.
Every time, Hua Xieyu's heart would tremble slightly with their laughter, and then she would unconsciously lower her head, letting her long hair cover her face.
Seven or eight tenths of her expression was acted out, because the character of "Yu Jianqiu" was a timid and shy country girl.
But the remaining two or three tenths could be considered genuine emotion, the result of the inferiority complex that had long been buried deep in her heart quietly surging up.
Hua Xieyu has always felt that the phrase "out of the mud without being stained" is nonsense. Even if the lotus flower is pure and delicate after blooming, its roots are always deeply buried in the foul-smelling mud.
In Liming City, in Xiang Niangzi Cave, surrounded by filth, she could perhaps comfort herself with words like "out of the mud without being stained", but coming here, everyone is "clean", and that's different.
Everything within sight seemed to remind her that she came from Xiang Niangzi Cave in Liming City and was different from everyone else.
In fact, it was precisely because the Eclipse Society knew that Hua Xieyu would have this kind of psychology after coming to Huacheng Institute of Technology that they arranged the identity of "Yu Jianqiu" for her.
A lie that is one-third truth and two-thirds false is the most confusing.
"Oh? You want to come too? That's great, of course! But my bed isn't that big, I mean, if it gets too late, I can only make do..."
As she walked with her head down, Hua Xieyu suddenly heard a familiar voice. Following the sound, she saw "Lu Yibei", who was surrounded by girls, acting frivolous and lighthearted but not annoying.
Hua Xieyu, "???"
What the heck? How did he get to school so quickly? Are those girls his backups?
Damn it, when we were in the car, you weren't interested in a beautiful Miss like me at all, but when you got to school, you're being lovey-dovey with these vulgar women, huh?
I think you're a super large woven bag - you're really good at pretending!
At this moment, Hua Xieyu suddenly felt that she had understood what kind of person Lu Yibei was.
He was the type who had evil intentions but lacked the guts in front of Adults and elders, not even daring to hold a girl's hand, but secretly was incredibly bold and transformed into a "Thousand-Hand Guanyin" type.
Perfect, it's good that he's not serious, if he were too serious, I wouldn't know how to start!
Hua Xieyu thought, her lips curving slightly. Playfulness and charm appeared in her originally somewhat dim peach blossom eyes. Everyone is non-recyclable waste, sooner or later to be buried and burned, what's the point of talking about being a scumbag?
If you don't mind, let's play together?!
I'll play you to death sooner or later for this Miss.

It was probably because the honeycomb network was disconnected on the plane that the message reception was delayed. Lu Yibei did not receive Professor Ma's message immediately, and he didn't know that someone was using his face to swagger and deceive at school, ruining his reputation.
If he knew, he might have asked those girls to borrow some campus loans with their ID cards. As the saying goes, "When others suspect you of having weapons of mass destruction, you'd better actually have them!" Since his reputation is already ruined, why struggle?
Why not take the opportunity to get some benefits! frёewebnoѵēl.com
However, Lu Yibei unfortunately didn't know.
After getting off Uncle Zhang Shan's taxi, he transferred to a bus going to University City, and then went straight back to his residence in Jingyi Apartment Complex.
Upon returning home, as soon as he opened the door, Lu Yibei sensed something was off.
He slowly walked into the room, stood in the center of the living room, crossed his arms, and looked around, his brows gradually furrowing. The layout of the house was as usual, but something was wrong, yet he couldn't pinpoint exactly what it was. This wasn't the first time he had experienced this feeling. The last time was when Jiang Hao sneaked into his house, hid on his bed, watched a movie on her phone, and whined.
The difference was that Lu Yibei's intuition told him that the person who had sneaked into his house this time was definitely not Jiang Hao.
The difference was like the difference between the scent of orchids and the scent of peach blossoms.
"Damn it, what do you guys think my house is? Come in and out as you please, is it a public restroom?" Lu Yibei complained, his face dark. He took out the Xuan Ying Luofu from his metal box and held it in his hand. Just then, there was a sound of footsteps from the second floor.
Following that, he saw a girl poking half of her body over the railing.
"Ah! You dog, you're finally back. Come and help me see how to clear this quest. Why can't I find the NPC?"
The girl on the second floor had dark green long hair and was wearing one of Lu Yibei's large old T-shirts as a Sleeping Dress. Who else could it be but Ju Meng?
"Smelly Girl?" Lu Yibei's eyes widened, "Why are you here?"
Pfft, I said why was there a smell of bird droppings mixed in that peach blossom scent just now! Lu Yibei silently added in his heart. Immediately after, he noticed that Ju Meng was holding Wang Yingying, who was obviously two or three sizes larger, like a pillow in her arms, and his pupils trembled slightly.
"Wait! Put that thing down, don't move it around!"
Seeing this, Ju Meng showed a sly smile that said, "I understand," and squeezed the Wang Yingying in her arms, teasing, "Good heavens, this is really your witchs egg?"
*Look at how nervous you are! Don't worry, I didn't do anything to it, I just helped you with some rituals and gave it some good luck, just to keep it safe and protect the baby."
"Let's agree first, this child will have to call me Godmother from now on!" Lu Yibei, "???"
Keep it safe and protect the baby?
Smelly Girl, you really didn't see that this thing almost killed you before, did you?
He felt that Ju Meng at this moment was like a mischievous child holding a highly explosive bomb without knowing anything.
