It seems that the villain is targeting me.

The doctor thought silently.

In such a crowded place with so many eyes, and with so many traces left behind, it was only a matter of time before someone discovered it.

A cold thought like a quagmire emerged in her heart: If I were to come...

"Bang bang."

Doctor Chen trembled and turned his head suddenly.

There was a knock on her door.

Chapter 79: Stop it, Ah Chen!

Chen Xiaoya raised his hand and yawned unconsciously. His head tilted down like a chicken pecking at rice, and he looked sleepy.

She stood in the military training queue, following the instructor's instructions along with her classmates. However, because she was listless, she was always a beat slow in every movement.

The classmate beside her naturally noticed her abnormality, so he lowered his voice and asked, "Are you okay? Didn't you sleep well last night?"

Military training in high school is basically based on classes, and students who train together will have to stay together for the next three years.

Because of this, many people will actively talk to other classmates - this is often how you make your first friends in school.

When I was in junior high school, I actually didn’t have many friends in the class who I could talk to.

With a father like that, her personality was naturally not cheerful. She also asked the teacher for permission to skip evening self-study classes because she often had to do odd jobs. Gradually, she became "the one" in the class who kept to herself and had a withdrawn personality.

Chen Xiaoya felt that she didn't care. At that time, all she was thinking about every day was next week's living expenses or her father's debts. She had no time to pay attention to the strange looks from her classmates.

The consequence of doing this is...she actually has no experience in making friends.

Chen Xiaoya glanced at the instructor in the distance and nodded at him a little stiffly: "Yeah... stayed up late tonight."

The classmate who spoke to her was a tall and thin girl with short hair that reached her shoulders and a very familiar look.

Hearing this, she couldn't help but smack her lips: "Oh my god, why are you staying up late on the first day of school?"

This seemed a bit difficult to explain. Chen Xiaoya hesitated for a while and just said vaguely, "I'm rushing to finish my homework..."

The student couldn't help but wonder: What homework is there to do at the beginning of the school year?

Even students in top classes are just beginning to adapt to high school life.

In fact, Chen Xiaoya did not lie. She did stay up late at night to finish her homework - but it was not her own homework.

Fortunately, that classmate didn't ask any more questions, but just said "Oh" as if he understood something.

The instructor standing at the front of the team gave new instructions, and her attention shifted to them.

Chen Xiaoya couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and hurried to follow the instructor's movements.

Deep down, she didn't want her high school classmates to know that she had helped write holiday homework for them...

It’s not that I feel embarrassed, I’m just worried about getting new business.

When school started, she made up her mind to quit - although Xiao Niao didn't say much about her "business", Chen Xiaoya still decided not to do this kind of thing again in the future.

It's time to call it quits, she thought.

Xiao Niao is now also a teacher at the No. 1 Middle School in the city...If I were caught, she would feel very embarrassed, right?

The teenager's delicate self-esteem and the desire to behave like a good boy in front of the bird collided with each other, but it wasn't long before the latter won the final victory with an absolute advantage.

The military training morning exercise was still going on, but Chen Xiaoya, who was standing in the team, became distracted.

After morning exercise, they would go to the cafeteria to eat. She wondered if she would meet Xiao Niao there... Teachers and students should eat in the same place, right?

To be honest, they were only separated for a few hours, but Chen Xiaoya couldn't wait to see the bird again.

This is the sequelae of being together day and night: if you have gradually become accustomed to a person appearing in your life, then no matter what you are doing, your eyes will betray your subjective consciousness and subconsciously look for the other person's figure.

But what made Xiaoya feel a little disappointed was that Xiaoniao did not show up for the whole morning.

It was not until the lunch break that she heard some vague news from her classmates.

"Oh, you don't know anything?"

The person who spoke was the short-haired girl who had spoken to her before. After some communication, Chen Xiaoya remembered that the other party was the girl who borrowed a ballpoint pen from her when she registered for school.

Their seats in the class happened to be next to each other, so this person was her deskmate.

The classmate moved his plate next to Chen Xiaoya and raised his eyebrows mysteriously: "It's about what happened this morning. They said a lot of teachers were sent out of school..."

Chen Xiaoya also stopped eating and repeated nervously, "Sent it out?"

"Yes, I heard that two students went missing, so all the teachers at school went out to look for them."

My deskmate's voice rose with joy as he spoke: "I wonder if there will be a holiday by then..."

The topic changed really quickly.

Chen Xiaoya was not very interested in the holiday. She fiddled with the edamame in the grid of her plate and said "oh" absentmindedly.

The classmate didn't notice that the boy was distracted and continued to speak excitedly: "I heard that the family backgrounds of the two missing students are not simple, so the school is so nervous."

The situation at school was indeed tense. When Lu Yao's head teacher heard that two students were missing from her class, she let out a sharp cry and could barely stand.

If this poor head teacher knew where these two students were now, she would probably have a high blood pressure attack and faint on the spot.

"Then Xiao...when will those teachers be back?" Chen Xiaoya bit the tip of his chopsticks. "Shouldn't finding someone be left to the police..."

"I don't know about that," my deskmate shrugged. "I think it won't be long before they come back. Second and third graders still have classes in the afternoon."

"Are you waiting for someone?" she asked. "Does anyone in your family work here?"

Chen Xiaoya nodded.

"That's great," my deskmate said enviously, "I also want someone I know to take care of me... The teacher seems to be able to go to the second floor to order some stir-fried dishes instead of eating from the big pot with us..."

Chen Xiaoya's eyes dodged for a moment.

The word "care" made her involuntarily think of the wonderful relationship between herself and Xiao Niao.

She was evasive: "...Well, it's actually not that bad."

"Come to think of it, the new teacher should be teaching first grade, right? Maybe even our class."

My deskmate became curious and asked, "What's the personality of the person you're talking about? Is he strict?"

"Strict... probably not," Chen Xiaoya thought seriously, his words full of personal emotions and a very subjective judgment. "I think she is a very, very good person..."

My deskmate was immediately relieved and happily ate a few mouthfuls of rice before casually asking, "Oh, by the way, where did you go during your summer vacation?"

Chen Xiaoya has gradually adapted to the other party's eccentric way of communication.

She thought her deskmate was pretty nice and they could try to become friends.

After thinking it over, she decided to truthfully describe her experience to the other party: "During the summer vacation, I ran away from home and took a train all the way to Taoyuan. I fought a battle of wits and courage with a group of human traffickers and was almost caught."

My deskmate choked on the egg drop soup.

She coughed: "Ah? You said... cough, what did you say?"

Chen Xiaoya repeated the words again

.

My deskmate couldn't adapt to this huge change in style. He was completely stunned and asked blankly with his mouth open, "Then, what then?"

"Then Xiao Niao...my guardian, she rushed over."

Chen Xiaoya answered honestly, "She sneaked into the human traffickers' lair with a cat and killed them all."

As soon as he finished speaking, his classmate's mouth, which was open in surprise, closed tightly.

She stared intently at Chen Xiaoya beside her, looking him up and down with a serious expression.

Then the little girl burst into laughter, her teeth showing.

"Hey, hey, little boy, you are so funny——"

She obviously didn't take Chen Xiaoya's words seriously.

Her deskmate had also seen the news about the human trafficking case being uncovered. She thought the boy had just made up an interesting story based on the news.

"How can there be such a teacher?" My deskmate couldn't help but shook his head, "This is just like 007!"

------

-

Doctor Chen turned his head and looked at the door.

She had already stood up, and went from a tired and relaxed state to a state of high alert, and she also grasped the weapon that was originally kept in her inner pocket.

It wasn't a gun, but a pistol that was placed in another safer place - it would be very risky to carry that thing on your body, and you couldn't use it casually in the city.

Ordinary weapons are enough for her to deal with most unexpected situations.

Doctor Chen exhaled slowly.

She heard a knock on the door, and less than two seconds ago, someone came and knocked on the door of her room.

Are you a hotel staff?

But she had just booked the room more than ten minutes ago, so it was too early to start cleaning or promoting services.

So, is it possible that my actions were noticed by the other party?

Dr. Chen took a risk by interrupting the surveillance and coming here.

She had not been able to confirm Gu Tianjiao's condition, she only knew that he had not left the room from beginning to end.

Although no one knew what Lu Yao was going crazy for, the doctor, based on his experience of reincarnation, judged that things might have gone off the original track.

This was an unexpected event that did not exist in her memory, so Dr. Chen lost the corresponding reference.

She decided to come and check it out for herself.

Less than five minutes after she entered the room, someone knocked on her door.

This is really not a good sign.

Dr. Chen didn't say anything. She took off her shoes, stepped on the floor barefoot, and moved to the door as lightly and quickly as a cat.

The weapon was held in his right hand and hidden behind his back. The doctor leaned quietly against the door frame, standing there motionless.

It was quiet outside the door, no sound of talking could be heard, as if no one was there at all.

But she couldn't mistake the knock on the door.

That was definitely not my illusion.

Dr. Chen did not peek through the peephole - the act of peeking through the peephole itself might alert the outside world that the person in the house had reached the door.

Could this be a test from Lu Yao? Could she have discovered his presence so quickly?

Dr. Chen breathed as steadily as possible to cool his brain down from the stressful state.

She had to imagine that she had fallen into the worst-case scenario: her stalking was discovered, and the unknown "Lu Yao" was waiting outside the door, waiting for her to go out.

But the probability of this happening is actually very small.

Doctor Chen had some understanding of Lu Yao. She knew this woman's personality well and knew it was almost impossible for her to do something like luring the enemy into an ambush.

Of course, the kidnapping of Gu Tianjiao by the other party was indeed very abnormal... It was as if he was possessed by something, and even his way of thinking had changed drastically.

Just as she was hesitating, there was a knock on the door again.

This time someone spoke up.

"Hello, room service," the person outside said politely, "I'll clean the room."

Perhaps because of the door panel, she couldn't tell the other person's age.

Doctor Chen's brows were still tightly furrowed.

She slowly took a few steps back, then deliberately replied in an impatient tone: "No, go ahead!"

The person outside the door paused, then slowly asked, "Do you need to change your slippers? Where are your toiletries?"

Dr. Chen once again refused the other party's service.

"Well," the man muttered quietly, "enjoy your stay then."

The person outside the house stopped talking, and the doctor heard a faint rustling sound - the other person seemed to have left.

She breathed a sigh of relief, but still waited cautiously for more than ten minutes before tentatively grasping the handle and gently pushing the door open.
