Longzang

Chapter 766 What to do
In the early morning, the sunlight dispelled the gloom of the world, leaving darkness to cower in its hidden corners. The weather was exceptionally good today; the sunshine was warm everywhere, and the students entering the school gates were all radiant with youthful energy.

A ray of sunlight streamed in through a high window in the side wall of the gymnastics hall, landing on a stack of soft cushions. Bao Yun was lying back, her long hair cascading over the cushions, looking like a flower just beginning to bloom.

Wei Yuan looked up at the descending beam of light and said, "Isn't it too bright?"

Bao Yun hooked her foot, clad in white school uniform stockings, around Wei Yuan's arm and said, "I just want you to remember every detail, to remember it forever!"

The white stockings issued by the school were surprisingly good quality; they were exceptionally thin and smooth, like having an extra layer of skin. Wei Yuan was pulled forward by the hook, then Bao Yun grabbed his collar and pulled him down…

The sunlight didn't want to miss any of the beautiful scenes, but looking at so many unexpected sights, it felt shy and couldn't help but cover one eye, peeking only through its fingers. Science tells the sunlight that looking at people with only one eye doesn't allow for a sense of depth; without subtle relative undulations, many details will be missed.

In the darkness beyond the sunlight, some people are heartbroken, some are silently shedding tears, and some are so heartbroken that they can't breathe. They can't see it, and can only imagine it from those strange sounds.

Bao Yun's voice is so beautiful...

Bao Yun didn't hold back at all, screaming as loudly as she could to get excited, leaving those outside the wall heartbroken and those inside feeling guilty.

"Keep your voice down, people are hearing us..." Wei Yuan couldn't help but say.

"We want them to hear it, and to feel many times happier."

The school bell was broken today, and the bell for class was delayed. The boys could only continue to suffer, while the girls continued to excitedly discuss the details.

Li Tianci stood at the entrance of the gymnastics hall, repeatedly trying to kick the door open, but stopped at the last second, only able to painfully pull at his hair, resulting in his hands being stained with red paint. He had just dyed his hair yesterday, but he didn't expect the color to start fading as soon as he touched it.

Finally, the small door of the gymnastics hall opened, and Wei Yuan and Bao Yun walked out chatting and laughing. Then, they were stunned when they saw the dark mass of people in front of them.

Wei Yuan knew there could be many times more happiness, but he never imagined it would be this many times more. This isn't just happiness, this is news!

A female teacher wearing glasses and whose uniform could barely contain her figure walked over and said, "Don't you two know that there's a gymnastics class in the first period of the morning?"

Wei Yuan genuinely didn't know; he had never seen the class schedule and didn't know if the teacher had added it on his own.

Li Tianci suddenly rushed over, grabbed Wei Yuan by the collar, and roared, "She's the woman I'm pursuing! What did you do to her?!"

Wei Yuan felt there was no need to explain what he had done, since everyone had heard it anyway, so he punched Li Tianci in the mouth. The punch made him stagger, but surprisingly, he didn't fall. Wei Yuan then realized that this body was truly weak; it already lacked strength, and now, with his whole body aching and his arms having been used for a lot of planking, he could barely lift them.

Li Tianci roared and charged over.

Without the obstruction of his body's original will, Wei Yuan's fighting skills had improved across the board. He stepped forward, stomping on Li Tianci's instep, and then turned to the side to see Li Tianci slam his face into the ground. If Wei Yuan hadn't lifted his foot at the last moment, his ankle would have been broken.

Bao Yun tossed her hair, the golden strands cascading in the sunlight. Seeing this blond hair, Li Tianci's henchmen immediately backed down. A transfer student with dyed hair was someone they couldn't afford to offend.

The girls, on the other hand, had discovered something amazing and swarmed around her, bombarding her with questions: "How come your hair color doesn't fade?"

"Tell us where you dyed it!"

……

After finally escaping the crowd, he entered the library. The library was quite empty, almost deserted. Seeing the shelves full of books, Wei Yuan's eyes lit up, and he quickly walked over.

He had just stopped in front of the first row of bookshelves and hadn't even had a chance to look at the books when Bao Yun pulled him forward, all the way to the back of the last row of bookshelves.

Wei Yuan looked up and around; it seemed there weren't any cameras here yet. Then, the library was filled with pleasant, strange sounds again.

Wei Yuan discovered that Bao Yun's voice was versatile and could switch back and forth to match different emotions.

……

The school bell finally rang, but it wasn't time for regular class. In school, things that break always take much longer to fix than common sense suggests, but they break down much faster than knowledge can provide.

A sudden hissing sound came from the square speaker hanging in the classroom, followed by Bao Yun's soft, sweet voice: "Attention everyone, the bell just now was a test and repair. Um, the teacher will announce the specific class time... Ah!... That's it..."

……

The Dean of Students' Office.

The director's hair became even more disheveled. He slammed his hand on the table in front of him, causing one of his large black-rimmed glasses to fall off. He casually straightened it and said to Wei Yuan and Bao Yun in front of him, "You two, write your self-criticisms properly! Each of you write three thousand words, right here on my desk! I'll come back and check them in a bit."

After saying that, he quickly left the office, though his movements were a bit uncoordinated. Wei Yuan glanced at the desk, thinking he should wipe it first; there seemed to be something left on it.

……

The school bell rang, and many students went down the stairs. Li Tianci was surrounded by his group of followers, but he looked rather listless. He didn't know why he was in a bad mood; could it really be because of that transfer student?
Lost in thought, he was suddenly shoved hard from behind, losing his balance and tumbling down the stairs. At the top, Wei Yuan stood there, seemingly saying to someone who wasn't there, "See? That's how it should be done."

Li Tianci was in excruciating pain all over his body and couldn't get up for a moment. He was also confused and shouted, "Are you crazy? I didn't do anything to you!"

Wei Yuan said seriously, "If your subordinates provoke me, I will beat you. If others provoke me, I will beat you too. From now on, I will only beat you. As long as you are in school, you have to watch your back. As long as I don't die, you will die sooner or later."

"You crazy person!"

……

It was almost time to leave school. The head of student affairs stood in the middle of the corridor, facing a frail, long-haired girl who was trembling slightly. His voice was cold and harsh: "Come to my office after school..."

"……OK."

The director nodded in satisfaction and was about to leave when he suddenly turned around and saw Wei Yuan leaning against the wall, quietly watching him.

"What are you doing?" The director's body suddenly began to ache.

Wei Yuan smiled slightly and said, "I don't want to do anything, I just want to see you, to keep looking at you."

The head of student affairs finally began to tremble, his breathing becoming labored, as if he were being suspended from the ceiling again. He suddenly realized something and hurriedly said, "I'll leave work on time!"

Wei Yuan smiled, turned and left.

……

The setting sun dyed the osmanthus tree red.

Wei Yuan and Bao Yun stood at the school gate, watching students walk past them as they left school and disappeared into the bustling city.

The wild senior student reappeared, stopped as she passed the two of them, and said, "Next time you come, there will be new books in the library."

New books? Wei Yuan suddenly remembered that he hadn't had time to read many books, having spent all his time following Bao Yun around the school. He hurriedly took out his textbooks from his bag, opened them, and was astonished to find that most of them were blank.

Bao Yun chuckled: "What's in books about the youth of academic underachievers? What matters are these people, these lives, this world."

Wei Yuan immediately felt that it made a lot of sense, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was a lot to explore.

"When did you wake up?" Bao Yun asked.

“Wake up? What do you mean, wake up?” Wei Yuan asked blankly. “I just feel like I’ll go back to a place, but I don’t know how or why I’ll go back. I don’t know what that place is like either.”

"You're still not awake? How could this be..."

"I just did what I felt I should do! These kinds of problems at school are easy to solve, aren't they? I don't understand what these guys are thinking all day long."

"Okay, you've remembered all the details from today?" Bao Yun asked.

"Of course! Give me a little more time, taking first place won't be a problem."

"Alright, once we get back there, you can compare them carefully and see what the differences are. Don't make any mistakes!"

Wei Yuan's heart suddenly raced.

Bao Yun faced the setting sun, her arms outstretched, her long hair dancing in the wind, each strand seemingly a sparkling, leaping sprite.

The wind blew down a tree full of osmanthus blossoms, like a shower of stars.

The two walked out of the school gate and disappeared.
