An Unusual Life Beginning with Evil Spirits-Chapter 134 : Oh~

Volume 4: High School Arc - “I” Come to Find You~
Being ostracized wasn’t really a big deal for me.
I didn’t care much to begin with.
Even though I always said I wanted to start a new life, in truth, I didn’t really care.
In the end… the reason still lay in that troublesome APP.
If I couldn’t resolve the threat brought by the APP’s missions, then all this talk about a future life, or a new beginning, would all be meaningless.
But up until now, I still didn’t know where to start investigating.
Where did the APP come from?
What was its purpose?
Could I really escape from it?
After escaping, could I live a safe life in the future?
After escaping, would I be able to get rid of the Evil Spirit Form and become an ordinary person?
There were no clues to answer any of these questions so far.
So, at this stage, what I thought about wasn’t myself, but Bai Juanjuan.
This girl had been sticking close to me.
If I got ostracized, then she would surely be ostracized as well.
And once I died, that girl would truly be alone.
Strangely enough, I didn’t feel this close to Shao He.
I didn’t feel this close to Reina either.
But I did feel close to Bai Juanjuan.
Overall, I figured that I shouldn’t let my death cause any trouble for other people.
So, I had to assume what would happen after I died and take care of all of it in advance.
After finishing lunch, this little group of ours had finally come together.
But since I was the only girl, it looked a bit awkward.
Still, once Bai Juanjuan arrived tomorrow, it wouldn’t feel so weird anymore.
We walked back to the classroom together.
When the four of us entered the classroom, we clearly drew a lot of attention.
From those gazes, I could see some complex emotions.
Among those people, some had wicked thoughts but no courage.
Some had both the thoughts and the courage but hadn’t made a plan yet.
That’s probably why their eyes looked that way.
Those boys—were they interested in me?
But felt like they acted too late, so they were a bit regretful?
Well… I guess thinking that way isn’t completely wrong.
But it had nothing to do with me.
After all, I had decided from the beginning that their attempts to hit on me would never succeed.
I wasn’t one of those ordinary girls.
The afternoon classes were pretty boring.
Just some chemistry stuff.
I didn’t really pay attention.
It was all material I already knew.
I just sat at my desk, thinking about what I should say to Lu Haochen later, and waited for time to pass.
Soon, the school day was over.
Students left the classroom one after another.
I deliberately slowed down a bit.
Lu Haochen also knew I had something to say, so he deliberately held back too.
Huang Lishan and Li Kaihuai were both dismissed by Lu Haochen.
It wasn’t until the classroom had mostly emptied that we left together.
To be honest, back when I was 1.8 meters tall, I rarely met people taller than me.
So I hardly ever needed to look up at anyone.
But now, there was nothing I could do about it.
Liu Yunyan’s body, even at its longest, was only 1.7 meters.
I figured she might grow to around 1.75 to 1.77 at most.
That would be a fairly standard model’s figure.
Lu Haochen should still have room to grow.
But how much taller he’d get—I had no idea.
Still… how tall he’d grow had nothing to do with me, Zhou Shuren.
We didn’t have much to say on the way, and simply walked straight to the school gate.
There, Shao He was already waiting.
When she saw me coming out with a boy, her expression was something else.
Honestly… it was like she’d just seen a dinosaur from sixty-five million years ago parachute into reality.
Her look gave me goosebumps all over.
“Shao He, if you’re in a hurry, go ahead first. I’m treating a friend to dinner.”
“Uh… okay.”
Shao He, who was usually calm like still water, actually stuttered?
I glanced up at the nearby restaurants.
They were all high-end establishments.
After a moment of thought, I pointed at a place not far away called Bashu Cuisine Restaurant.
“Let’s go to that one, yeah? Can you eat spicy food?”
Since I wasn’t that familiar with Lu Haochen yet, it didn’t hurt to be polite before treating him.
“Of course.”
Lu Haochen nodded with a smile.
Then he nodded again toward Shao He and stepped forward, reaching out his hand to introduce himself.
“My name is Lu Haochen. I’m Yunyan’s classmate.”
“Hello… I’m Shao He, the young lady’s personal bodyguard.”
Shao He was slightly taken aback, but still reached out her hand as usual.
Still, that self-introduction… somehow carried a trace of menace.
Watching the two of them compete through a handshake, I couldn’t help but shake my head helplessly.
Lu Haochen was someone who had practiced martial arts for years, and so was Shao He.
Of course, the two ended up evenly matched.
“All right, Lu Haochen, enough already… let’s go.”
“Oh, right. Sister Shao He, I’ll have to trouble you later to give Reina a call, tell her not to prepare dinner for me. Just make some late-night snacks.”
Judging from Shao He’s expression, it was obvious she had no intention of leaving.
Probably here to keep an eye on things more than anything else.
But whatever.
Looking at the two of them—faces friendly but the air between them oddly tense—I could only shake my head in resignation and head toward the Bashu Cuisine Restaurant.
Lu Haochen didn’t release her hand until I had walked off, and then Shao He also let go.
I could understand Shao He’s reaction.
After all, as a personal bodyguard, it was normal for her to feel nervous when the person she protected got close to a strange boy.
If I guessed right, the moment I stepped into the restaurant, she’d pick up the phone.
And of course, the first people she’d call wouldn’t be Reina.
It’d be Liu Wanqian and Gong Lianyu.
Still… let her whatever.
We had nothing to hide, so we weren’t afraid of shadows.
If we really tried to sneak around, it’d only look more suspicious.
Once inside the restaurant, I immediately asked for a private room.
Restaurants near school wouldn’t dare underestimate students.
The moment they saw us in our school uniforms, the staff’s attitude turned enthusiastic.
A server promptly led us to a private room for two.
Although it was called a “two-person room,” the space wasn’t that small.
But what left me speechless was that inside this not-so-big room, there was actually a separate double rest suite.
Seeing the waterbed, I fell into silent disbelief.
Did this waiter think we were F-friends or something, and that’s why they brought us here?
Wait, does this restaurant actually provide guest room services?
Ugh!
I ordered a ton of Sichuan dishes.
Since Lu Haochen said he was fine with spicy food, I didn’t hold back.
I ordered everything.
The sheer amount of food even made the server widen their eyes.
Lu Haochen kept trying to talk me down, but I ignored both of them and ordered whatever I wanted.
Then paid with my phone on the spot.
After we finished ordering, the waiter left.
Only the two of us remained in the room.
It was late autumn, and this was the north.
Although it wasn’t cold enough for heating yet, at this time of day, the room would feel uncomfortable without air conditioning.
