Bite Your Fingertips
Chapter 43
Zhang Yueshan and Meng Ge were engrossed in calculating the total team score of Class A.
On the third day of the sports meet, the individual events had all ended. After the relay race, it would be the closing ceremony and the award ceremony.
Meng Ge spread his legs and held two pieces of paper in his hands. On the paper were the records he had made for the past three days.
The handwriting was a mess, and only he could understand what was written.
"… second place in the men's 100m freestyle, first place in the women's 50m freestyle … second place in tennis … third place in the men's standing long jump …"
After reading the results one by one, Meng Ge hurriedly craned his neck to look at the numbers Zhang Yueshan had written on the draft paper. "Class Monitor, how was it? Did you calculate it?
What's our total score?
Will we get a bonus? "
Zhang Yueshan pressed his hand on Meng Ge's face and pushed his head away. He said irritably, "Stop babbling. I just finished calculating half of it and forgot it when you yelled at me!"
Meng Ge covered his mouth and said in a low, muffled voice, "Okay, then hurry up and calculate it!
This concerns the welfare of the people! "
Chu Yu sat next to him and tried hard to recall. "I also calculated it. When it came to the high jump, it was 231 points." He tilted his head and asked Lu Shi, "Lu Shi, did you calculate it?"
Lu Shi was holding a pencil and doing some practice questions. When he heard Chu Yu's question, he said, "The total score is 579 points."
Zhang Yueshan happily wrote the numbers on the paper and sighed. "Everyone worked hard. This score is 30 points higher than my estimate!
We have a good chance of getting a bonus! "
Meng Ge was also excited. "Class Monitor, can we get first place in the total score?
We can, right? "
"We should be able to, right?
This score is already very high. "Zhang Yueshan was not too sure.
"Yes."
Lu Shi wrote "B" in front of a multiple-choice question and explained, "If there is another class that takes the first place in the men's 100m freestyle, the second place in the women's 50m freestyle, the first place in tennis, the second place in the men's 3000m sprint, the first place in the women's 50m sprint, and so on," Lu Shi repeated the order of events that Meng Ge had reported and concluded, "Then, their highest total score would be 571."
"Less than us!" Meng Ge punched his knee. "Does it depend on the final result of the relay?"
Zhang Yueshan did some calculations. "Yes, even if the relay is at the bottom, we will still be in the top three!" He sighed. "Sigh, why is it so hard not to get the prize money?"
Meng Ge also sighed. "Sigh, this is too difficult!"
Chu Yu, who was holding a comic book, poked his head out from beside Lu Shi and sighed. "Class Rep, Meng Ge, if you talk like that, you will get beaten up!"
Zhang Yueshan pointed at the small red rocket banner that was still fluttering in the wind with the pen in his hand. "Campus Belle, tell me, who will get beaten up?"
In the end, Class A took third place in the relay and successfully retained the first place in the overall team score.
They pocketed the 10,000 yuan prize money.
In the classroom, Zhang Yueshan stood at the podium and took out the money from the brown envelope. He cleared his throat and said, "Everyone, please be quiet!
Over the past three days, everyone has worked very hard and the school has been very understanding. There will be no classes during the day tomorrow.
So, in order to reward everyone, we — "
Meng Ge interrupted, "Let's have a party!
Let's celebrate! "
Zhang Yueshan glared at him and said seriously, "What party?
We are going to change the venue for the class meeting. "
The venue was changed from Jia Ning Private School to a villa in the suburbs on a mountain.
They had submitted a school bus application to the school in advance. There were more than 30 people in Class A and they took the school bus to the hillside of Qingming Mountain.
Meng Ge was impatient and he jumped off the bus with the basketball that he always carried with him.
He stood on the lawn in front of the villa for a few seconds before he said, "F * ck, so the entertainment committee member of our class is not only a straight-A student, but her family is also so awesome!
I didn't think so when I saw the pictures, but the scenery here is too beautiful.
It's a pity that it lacks a basketball court. "
"I remember the last time I was here, there was a basketball court in the house. You can shoot two three-pointers to your heart's content."
Chu Yu had been here before for a friend's birthday party.
At that time, knowing that he was there, Yang Yuxing took the initiative to give him a 15% discount.
It was said that this villa was a birthday gift from Yang Yuxing's parents. She felt that it was a waste to leave it there, so after doing market research, she came up with a plan to change it into a villa for rent. She even equipped a professional party planning team and housekeeper, so it was very popular.
This time, it was Zhang Yueshan who went to discuss it with Yang Yuxing after he found out about it.
Then, the whole class voted and approved the plan for the class meeting —
If they won the prize money for the sports competition, they would rent the villa for a day and have fun together.
In any case, Yang Yuling would also give the lowest discount on the cost.
The villa was located on Qingming Mountain, and the Qingchuan River meandered by in the distance. The natural scenery was the biggest selling point.
There were a total of four floors, and the overall design was very grand. There was a luxurious hall with a glass wall, and one could see the continuous vegetation and mountains outside the window.
It had just rained, and there was a thin mist lingering in the mountains. It made people feel relaxed and happy.
The basement level was a KTV and billiard room. The first floor had an XBOX, projector, board games, and a swing and barbecue grill on the balcony. It was well-equipped.
As soon as they entered the door, everyone sighed. The location of the class meeting was very good.
After familiarizing themselves with the place, those who liked to sing went straight to the KTV. The game console was quickly occupied. Meng Ge forced Fang Ziqi to play basketball with him over and over again. The girls sat around the rectangular dining table and began to play board games.
Zhang Yueshan shouted in the kitchen to see if anyone was willing to prepare the ingredients and skewer the skewers with him. However, no one paid him any attention.
In the end, he could only write down his student number and draw lots. Whoever he caught would go into the kitchen to prepare dinner.
Chu Yu was also drawn with his student number.
He was not unhappy. On the contrary, he was curious about everything. After strolling around the kitchen, Chu Yu rolled up his sleeves. He felt that it was time to show off his knife skills!
However, after witnessing Chu Yu's proficiency with the kitchen knife, Zhang Yueshan's heart skipped a beat. With a pale face, he quickly pushed Chu Yu to the side. "Campus belle, just sit on the plastic stool and put the cut vegetables into the barbecue skewer!
If you f * cking move your knife a few more times, I suspect that you won't be able to keep a single finger! "
Chu Yu struggled. "Let me practice my knife skills!"
Zhang Yueshan firmly refused.
Dreams were beautiful, but reality taught them to be human. The barbecue was either undercooked or burned.
Fortunately, they brought a lot of snacks, fruits, instant noodles, sandwiches, and cooked food. The group of people clamored and barely ate until they were full.
Because it had been raining heavily, the sky turned dark very early.
There was no neon light on the mountain, nor was there the noise of cars and horses. It was dark outside the window. Only the sound of the wind and rain entered their ears. It was as if they were isolated from the world.
In the big living room, Li Hua held a bowl of fruit salad and suggested, "It would be a pity to miss such a good opportunity. Everyone, let's tell a ghost story!"
Zhang Yueshan agreed with his deskmate. "Agreed!"
Meng Ge was a little nervous, but he felt that he was not a real man if he did not join in. He also agreed. "Come, come, come, pull the table!"
When the girls heard that they were going to tell a ghost story, they quickly took their snacks and went downstairs to the KTV.
Chu Yu looked on helplessly as the others left the scene. He wanted to leave too, but he felt that he would be embarrassed if he also left in a flash.
He quietly grabbed Lu Shi's shirt and asked softly, "Lu Shi, are you afraid of ghosts?"
"You're afraid?"
"Why would I be afraid!"
Chu Yu subconsciously retorted. After two seconds, he lowered his voice again. "Actually, I'm just … a little afraid."
Lu Shi rubbed the back of Chu Yu's neck. "Okay, I'm here."
On the other side, Li Hua had already switched off the lights in the living room. There were only two small wall lamps with limited brightness in the entire living room.
He slowed down his speech. "No one is allowed to leave."
Meng Ge laughed. "F * ck, this atmosphere is really suitable for telling a ghost story!
Exciting! "
More than a dozen people sat around the table.
An inverted flashlight was placed in the middle of the table. It could barely be used as a candle.
No one said anything.
Zhang Yueshan was the first to ask, "Why don't we stick to each other?
What ghost stories do you have? Tell us and we'll vote to see whose story is the scariest and scariest. What do you think? "
Chu Yu was frantically cursing in his heart. What kind of stupid game is this? Why do I have to participate?!
However, perhaps because he was too scared, he squeezed out a little excitement. Hence, he said, "Okay, I agree!"
Fang Ziqi raised his hand. "I'll be the first one. Let's take it as throwing a brick to attract jade."
"This is a real story. Something happened in my junior high school. The cause of the incident was a long-haired girl. For some reason, she jumped off a building …"
Fang Ziqi lowered his voice and spoke slowly. His voice was faint and creepy, which made him look terrifying.
"… One day, Lin Jie opened the door to her dormitory and suddenly found a long-haired girl sitting on the lower bunk with her back facing her. She was combing her hair.
She stood at the door and didn't dare to move. She thought to herself, 'Is that person back? Is it, is it —' "
Under the dining table, Chu Yu clutched the corner of Lu Shi's shirt so tightly that the fabric was almost torn apart.
Lu Shi glanced sideways at him and extended her hand for Chu Yu to hold.
Fang Ziqi made the atmosphere extremely tense. Just as Chu Yu was about to shout, "It must be that female ghost who came back to take revenge," Fang Ziqi suddenly said, "The girl sitting on the lower bunk turned around and asked with a smile, 'Lin Jie, do you think my new wig looks good?' It turns out that this girl is Lin Jie's bed mate."
There was complete silence.
Fang Ziqi was very satisfied with their reaction. He laughed and said, "Hahaha, don't talk about strange things. There are no ghosts at all!"
Meng Ge slammed his palms on the table and said angrily, "Get lost! Fang Ziqi, you're wasting my feelings!"
Fang Ziqi held back his laughter and said, "Aren't I just throwing a brick to attract jade?
Come, come, come, you guys! "
Chu Yu held Lu Shi's hand and tried to mentally prepare himself.
I'm not afraid of ghosts. How can I be afraid of ghosts? I'm about to suck human blood now. Maybe I'm the fifth generation of vampires or something. Ghosts should be afraid of me!
With this thought, he immediately became bold for three seconds.
But it was only for three seconds.
After hearing the story of the second malicious ghost, Chu Yu leaned against Lu Shi and shivered.
"I'm sleepy."
Zhang Yueshan looked at Lu Shi and said, "God Lu, are you sleepy?
You're really tired today. Why don't you go and rest first? "
"Okay, you guys have fun."
Lu Shi looked at Chu Yu and asked, "What about you?"
Chu Yu felt as if he had been granted amnesty and quickly said, "Ah, now that you mention it, I'm a little sleepy too. I'll go with you!"
Meng Ge tried to stop him. "Don't, school beauty God Lu. It's such a good atmosphere. Don't leave. I haven't told you my secret story yet!"
Chu Yu thought to himself, I'd be f * cking crazy to stay and listen to your ghost story!
But his tone was still relaxed. "You guys have fun. I'm going upstairs to sleep for a while. I'll come down when I wake up."
When they reached the third floor, which was assigned to the boys, Chu Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Chu Yu thought of something and reached out to grab Lu Shi's left wrist. He was a little worried. "Did I pinch your wrist just now? You're quite strong. Is it red?"
Lu Shi instinctively retracted her wrist.
After noticing this small detail, Chu Yu didn't ask any more questions and pretended not to notice.
He naturally changed the topic. "Although the ghost story told by the student committee member had a twist at the end, it was still so scary!
I don't want to participate in storytelling activities like this anymore! "
Everyone gathered downstairs to play. Everyone planned to play through the night. Few of them wanted to sleep, so the rooms upstairs were empty.
Chu Yu was picky. He patiently chose a room with interior decoration that suited his taste and taste.
Lu Shi asked him, "Are you staying by yourself?"
Chu Yu wanted to say stubbornly, "Of course I can stay by myself!"
But he was very self-aware. "Of course not!"
The two of them shared a room.
The room Chu Yu chose was a Mediterranean-themed room. It was light blue and had two single beds.
The curtains weren't closed. The raindrops hit the glass window and made a crisp pitter-patter sound.
Chu Yu took a shower as fast as he could and rushed out of the bathroom. He quickly lay down on the bed and wrapped himself in the quilt tightly. Only then did he feel a sense of security.
Seeing that Lu Shi was about to turn off the lights, Chu Yu quickly stopped her. "Wait!"
Lu Shi stopped what she was doing.
Chu Yu closed his eyes tightly and said, "Okay, you can turn off the lights now."
With a bang, the lights went off and the entire bedroom was plunged into darkness.
Chu Yu wrapped himself in the quilt and tried a few different ways to hypnotize himself, but the effect was very mediocre.
He had a good memory. He started to automatically fill in the scenes of the ghost story that he had just heard in his mind. He even added environmental and sound effects — successfully scaring himself to the point that he didn't dare to move.
The sound of the rain outside the window made the room even quieter.
Chu Yu grabbed the bedsheets and felt that life was too difficult.
When he closed his eyes, all he saw was a terrifying scene.
When he opened his eyes, he felt that there were ghosts hiding outside the window, under the bed, and even under the table.
No, no, no —
Chu Yu jumped up in a spurt of energy. He lifted the quilt and got off the bed. He rushed to Lu Shi's bed like a gust of wind and stuffed himself into Lu Shi's bed.
After lying down, Chu Yu felt that he was really embarrassed. He had nothing to lose. "Don't talk, you … hug me."
An arm reached over and hugged him.
The tip of his nose was filled with a familiar scent.
Chu Yu felt a little better.
Chu Yu thought of something and opened one of his eyes. He asked carefully, "You, you're Lu Shi, right?"
She's not a ghost, right?
"Yes, I am."
There was a faint smile in Lu Shi's voice. Chu Yu wasn't in the mood to care about it —
Laugh all you want. It's okay. I can take it.
He subconsciously snuggled up in Lu Shi's arms, adjusted his sleeping position, and closed his eyes to sleep peacefully.
The next morning, the sky outside the window was dark.
The heavy rain had been pouring all night and showed no signs of stopping.
When Lu Shi suddenly woke up, she realized that Chu Yu wasn't around.
She sat up and pinched the space between her eyebrows. Lu Shi guessed that Chu Yu was worried about waking her up, so he didn't even put on his slippers when he left the bedroom.
The villa was quiet. Most people couldn't take it anymore and found a place to lie down and sleep.
Only Fang Ziqi, Li Hua, and Meng Ge were still gathered around the long table in the living room to play games.
They hadn't slept all night. The three of them looked tired and their eyes were bloodshot. They were obviously sleepy, but they were determined not to sleep. They swore that they would achieve the achievement of staying up all night.
Lu Shi asked, "Where's Chu Yu?"
"God Lu, you're up so early?"
Meng Ge yawned. He couldn't even open his eyes. He said in a hoarse voice, "Chu Yu and the class monitor went out. They said they were going to the back of the mountain to find some wild matsutake to make soup.
Study Committee member, you're going the wrong way again. You're a mid-laner. Don't go blindly to the top lane … "
The rain flowed down the glass wall and blurred the scenery in the mountains.
Lu Shi walked into the kitchen, opened the fridge, and took out a bottle of mineral water.
He lowered his eyelids and twisted the light blue bottle cap with his fingers. There was a hint of coldness and impatience between his eyebrows.
The moment he twisted the cap of the mineral water bottle, Lu Shi's heart suddenly tightened.
The light blue plastic cap fell from his fingertips and landed on the marble floor. It bounced up and made a few soft sounds.
In the next second, there was a loud explosion in the forest, and even the glass was shaken.
