Chapter 368: The Technique to Skipping Classes
Translator: Zayn_
“What? Then what should we do?”
Tang Zinian’s face stiffened.
Yu Muhuai was silent for a few seconds. He waited for Xu Xingzhou to flip the pages of the information before raising his hand and asking, “Teacher Xu, as our counselor, does Senior Song usually have to take exams?”
Xu Xingzhou was stunned at first, but he quickly composed himself.
“What about you, teacher?”
“I need it too.” Xu Xingzhou nodded. “I’m still a student.”
There were seven of them, and each of them had to take the test. The fact that the score was so high meant that the score was effective.
Yu Muhuai suppressed his thoughts. “Teacher Xu, can I go to the washroom? My stomach doesn’t feel well today.”
Compared to scores, solving puzzles is more important.
“Sure.”
Xu Xingzhou nodded slightly and agreed easily.
Seeing that Yu Muhuai had successfully run out of the classroom, Tang
Zinian’s eyes lit up. “Teacher, I-”
“Teacher, I also want to go to the washroom.”
Shu Ling beat him to it and even took out something from her pocket… A sanitary napkin.
Seeing the item in her hand, Xu Xingzhou’s lips twitched and he agreed without hesitation.
Then, she turned to look at Tang Zinian. “What’s wrong? You have ‘relatives’ too?”
“Pfft-”
“Hahaha!”
The classroom instantly burst into laughter.
As a teacher, Xu Xingzhou’s personality was different from usual.
Tang Zinian looked at him with a look of condemnation. “Teacher, about that, 1 ate the same thing as Student Qingyou today…”
“The canteen has a plate for each person. It strictly implements a separate meal system. 1 low did you eat the same food?”
Actually, this was easy to explain. It wasn’t like he couldn’t take food from other people’s plates.
However, the more Xu Xingzhou looked at him, the more he felt that something was wrong. Tang Zinian did not think about it carefully and immediately changed his words.
“We caught a cold last night.”
“Not only do you eat the same bowl of rice, but you also share the same blanket?!” A voice came from below the podium.
Everyone was speechless.
The classroom was silent for less than two seconds before it was drowned out by laughter again.
Tang Zinian did not get angry. Instead, he stomped his feet and said, “Then, teacher…” I…”
“What happened to you?” Xu Xingzhou had a serious look on his face, as if he did not understand his hint at all.
“There are three things people need to do urgently,” Tang Zinian said.
“Teacher, I…I really can’t take it anymore!”
Normally, he wouldn’t say such words in public.
After all, he was a celebrity. Which one of them didn’t have some baggage?
“Go, go.” Xu Xingzhou waved his hand and finally let them pass.
Then, he looked at Zhao Yingnan in the corner.
“Can I?” Zhao Yingnan blinked.
“No,” Xu Xingzhou said with a straight face.
“I can understand if one or two students in class want to go to the bathroom, but it’s absolutely impossible for a group to go.”
After he finished speaking, he signaled Zhao Yingnan, “Student Zhao, go find a seat and sit down. The next class will be a test on the content of my class.”
The few pieces of paper that the program team handed to Xu Xingzhou were some reminders of the rules of the class. It also included an excuse for someone to leave the classroom and Xu Xingzhou to mention the test.
Zhao Yingnan sat in front of Song Qingyou with a disappointed expression. She leaned her head back and said, “Xiao Yu and the others are out looking for clues. What if they find clues and don’t tell us? Qingyou, aren’t you going to think of a way to escape?”
“I’ll leave later.”
“Eh? Where do we go?” Zhao Yingnan was curious. “The excuse of going to the bathroom is definitely not going to work…”
Song Qingyou didn’t answer, but raised her hand ten minutes later.
“Teacher Xu, I’m going to the washroom to check on the situation. Student Yu, Student Shu, and Student Tang haven’t come back for so long. I’m worried that they might have fallen inside.”
Everyone was stunned for a moment before they burst into laughter.
“They fell into the toilet, hahaha…”
This was a devastating blow to their idols.
Xu Xingzhou strictly followed his character, and when he looked at Song Qingyou, his attitude was more than a little gentle.
“Hurry up and come back.”
“Alright.”
Zhao Yingnan watched Song Qingyou run away and couldn’t help but extend her hand for permission. However, Xu Xingzhou, who was also unable to go out to investigate, was determined to keep her behind…
On the other side.
Yu Muhuai and the others ran out of the classroom and rushed to the deduction club’s activity room.
They didn’t have Song Qingyou’s photographic memory, so the map of the Six Legends was still in the activity room. They had to come over and take a look to know where to go next.
Shu Ling and Yu Muhuai quickly met up.
“I’m going to take a look at that red maple tree. The corpse shouldn’t still be hanging on it, but there might be clues.”
“I’ll go with you,” Shu Ling said without hesitation.
“The production team also said that each of the seven of us needs to investigate the truth. The few of us have to go to all seven locations. I’ll go with you and we can also check on the gaps.”
Yu Muhuai thought about it and agreed.
Both of them were slightly more thoughtful. Even if they discovered something, it was impossible for them to tell each other everything. There was no such thing as checking for loopholes.
However, the two of them felt safer together.
Tang Zinian arrived late after they had finished discussing.
“Then I’ll go with you guys. To be honest, the school is so big and there are so few people. It’s a little scary no matter how you look at it.”
With the three of them together, Shu Ling couldn’t help but ask about Zhao Yingnan and Song Qingyou.
“They haven’t come out yet. Old Xu definitely can’t come out unless the production team is willing to let him turn the class into self-study. I think Sister Yingnan and the other two have been left behind to accompany Old Xu.”
Shu Ling heaved a sigh of relief. “Luckily, we ran fast.”
Tang Zinian nodded. “If you find anything later, you can tell Sister Qingyou and the others.”
“Speaking of which, aren’t we going to care about Teacher Jiang? I wonder where the small black room arranged by the program team is…”
The three of them chatted casually. When they arrived at the back garden of the school, they found out that there was more than one red maple tree, and the map did not indicate which tree had the rumor.
“This is too much.” Although Tang Zinian was complaining, he did not dare to get too close.
“If you don’t come over, how are we going to find clues?” Shu Ling was speechless.
“I’m just afraid that if a corpse really suddenly hangs down…”
“At most, it’ll just be a prop prepared by the production team…”
There were no more than ten red maple trees in the back garden. They were distributed on both sides of the garden, and each tree was relatively far away. From the thick trunks, it seemed that they had been there for many years.
The three of them walked around these ten trees for a long time, but they did not find anything.
There were no signs of hanging on the tree, let alone a corpse.
This disappointed them.
“I thought that I would at least be able to discover something here. In the end, there really is nothing…”
Shu Ling was speechless. Why did the production team care so much about these ‘useless’ details?
Yu Muhuai said gently, “We don’t even know which tree it was. This means that we still have to look for relevant information. It seems that the magazines in the activity room are all useful.”
“There’s so much information. Do we have to read it all?” Tang Zinian was shocked.
“Probably.” Shu Ling clapped her hands. “Let’s go back to the activity room..”
