Chapter 12 The Mermaid

At least this time, the mobile phone number Shen Tianyun gave Xiao Yao was in line with the characteristics of this era.

In the morning, Xiao Yao had been texting with Shen Jie under the table.

Shen Jie didn't reply instantly, but she didn't reply very slowly either.

"Zi——!" The vibration of the mobile phone made an alarming sound in the wooden desk.

Teacher Yao cast a sharp look, and the students in the front row also turned their heads. Only Yu Luying remained motionless.

Xiao Yao hurriedly turned off the vibration.

Damn it, why did the vibration function turn on by itself?

At noon, when Xiao Xiong came to the classroom to ask Xiao Yao to eat, he also saw him putting his cell phone on the table and pressing it.

"Are you in love?" Xiao Xiong sat down on Xiao Yao's table: "You are smiling like...my second aunt."

"Who is laughing - you want to scare me to death!" Xiao Yao straightened his face, cleared his throat, and closed the flip of his phone: "Let's go."

When they arrived at the cafeteria with Little Bear, Hua Ang and Shen Bin had already bought food.

They are Xiao Xiong's friends and are also in Class 4, so they both became Xiao Yao's friends.

"I heard that your boy fell in love with a girl?" Hua Ang asked with interest.

"Oh, really, the iron tree is in bloom?" The pimples on Shen Bin's face popped.

"Who did you listen to?" Xiao Yao glared at Xiao Xiong: "Xiong Ji, is it you? I replied to my grandma at noon."

"Stop pretending to be honest with us?" Xiao Xiong said dissatisfied: "I saw it last night. You were walking with a very beautiful girl and even sent her to a taxi."

"Are you following me?"

"I'm going to eat too much, so I'll follow you Yi Gang. (Note: "Yigang" is the dialect of Magic City)," Little Bear rolled his eyes: "I bumped into you when I was out making soy sauce."

"Oh, don't call me either."

"You think I am you, so uninterested," Xiao Xiong frantically complained: "I mean, you can't handle that Huashan sword-level beauty, right? Yu Luying doesn't even have a crush on you, right?"

"Why can't I figure it out?" Xiao Yao scratched his neck: "I'm telling you, it's easy to catch him!"

"Come on, Fa wants Huo Pang. (Okay, stop bragging)," Shen Bin commented: "I don't know who it was last week, but I cried to my three brothers and complained that I could never catch up with girls..."

"Cry you m..."

"Don't be ridiculous, don't be ridiculous," Hua Ang interrupted Shen Bin: "So, are you from our school?"

"No, one of the seven girls in the city."

The three good friends exclaimed, and then started a lively discussion.

"City No. 7 Girls' High School, isn't it an aristocratic school?"

"What aristocratic school, put p."

"I heard that there is a boys' class among the seven girls in the city. Is it true? It feels so good!"

"Yes, that's right, they say they will recruit a male class every three years."

"There is no such thing," Xiao Yao chewed the rice in his mouth carefully: "I asked her this morning, and she said from 1969 to... 1981 or 1982? There were boys, and the name of the school was also changed at that time. It was changed to the No. 7 Middle School of the Magic City, and later in 8... it was changed back to a girls' middle school a year later..."

"I heard that there will be some special courses for girls, is it true?"

"Yes," Xiao Yao was like an old expert attending a clinic: "Like Western etiquette classes, tea art classes...what else is there? I'll take a look."

Xiao Yao said as he took out his mobile phone.

"How dare you say it's not an aristocratic school!"

"I heard that among the seven girls in the city, there are as many beauties as there are, and there is a legend that there are five beauties. The so-called southern forest, northern sink, eastern Yan, western Zhao, and central Ouyang..."

"Among the seven girls in the city, why aren't they the top seven beauties?"

"Let me tell you, Xiao Yao," Xiao Xiong did not participate in the discussion between Hua Ang and Shen Bin: "Are you just talking to her about this all morning?"

"Then what are we talking about?"

"What should she do?" Shen Bin poked Xiao Yao's arm mysteriously.

"Who is it? What should I do?" He followed Shen Bin's eyes and saw Yu Luying walking by carrying an iron plate with an expressionless face.

"A real man must know how to advance and retreat." Xiao Yao said in an understatement.

The three friends cheered in unison.

After school, Xiao Yao followed Yu Luying to the burger restaurant next to the canteen.

Spicy chicken drumstick, five yuan?... It's a bit expensive.

While Xiao Yao was still touching his trouser pocket, Yu Luying had already paid ten yuan and handed over a hamburger wrapped in a paper bag: "Is one enough?"

"Oh, why is this so embarrassing?" Xiao Yao reached out and took the hot burger: "It's not appropriate. It's not appropriate."

"Let's go." Yu Luying looked around as if she was afraid of being seen by others.

"Then, I'll invite you next time!"

Yu Luying knocked on the side door of the church three times, and an old guard opened the door. As soon as she entered, the familiar smell hit her face.

This smell is inexplicable, and is somewhat similar to the air in the school library - perhaps, it is the smell of aged wood, ink and candles mixed together.

"Didn't you say go to the library?" Xiao Yao asked in a low voice.

"Then I thought about it, isn't it convenient to talk too loudly in the library? You will be seen by others in school, and I definitely can't go to my house. If I go to your house, grandma will stop you..."

"Your...little uncle isn't here, right?" Xiao Yao was a little nervous.

"I went to visit the patient. I won't be here this week." When passing by the door of the "sacred church" (note: the area where ceremonies are held in the church), Yu Luying made the sign of the cross on her chest and bowed.

Xiao Yao cast his gaze into the deep temple.

There were no lights on in the church, and the sanctuary was quite dark. There was only a red light on the upper right side of the altar at the end of the corridor, and a faint light shone through the stained glass and fell on the cross.

The haggard face with a crown of thorns hanging on the cross was lost in the dark world.

As he walked forward and passed by the confession room, Xiao Yao heard a male voice talking inside.

"My morality does not allow me to have such thoughts, and my identity does not allow me to come here to seek help. What should I do..."

"Isn't your uncle not here?" Xiao Yao looked nervous.

"He shouldn't be here," Yu Luying was also a little confused: "Did he come to the tree hole? Or is there another priest here? Let's go, don't eavesdrop!"

"In case it's your uncle, let's change the map." Xiao Yao shook his head vigorously, trying to dispel that terrifying memory: "You have never seen him holding my collar..."

"You deserve it. Who told you to stalk me so hard at that time," Yu Luying said, "How dare you chase me into the hall?"

"Ah, isn't the reason why you rejected me just because I am a pagan, so it won't work for me if I want to pursue the path of the Lord?"

"Glib words are useless. You know best what you want to do."

After arguing with each other and stepping on the creaking stairs, Yu Luying took Xiao Yao up to the second floor and got into a small room that looked like a reception room.

"I'm going to the bathroom." Yu Luying put the strap of her schoolbag around her neck, took it off, and placed it on the small sofa.

"good."

Xiao Yao sat down at the table and casually browsed through several theological classics at hand.

Suddenly, a piece of paper sandwiched in the book attracted his attention - it was a piece of paper torn from an exercise book. The Juanxiu font on it looked familiar, and was most likely written by Yu Luying.

Xiao Yao took out the note that Yu Luying threw to him yesterday from the side pocket of his schoolbag: "You go back first, don't wait for me, my band is rehearsing."

He squinted his eyes and compared the handwriting on the two pieces of paper: Yes, this was written by Yu Luying.

"Foam"

listen to my voice

That shouting voice

Lord, Lord, I'm here

blood replaced by sound

Scream at the end of the world

I am the little mermaid

She is the mermaid princess who cannot look back

Ariel turned into bubbles



"Ah!!!!" Before Xiao Yao finished reading, a terrifying scream came from behind, and then the paper on the table was snatched away with his hands.

"Who asked you to peek? Who asked you to peek without others' permission?" Yu Luying was rarely emotional: "No, no, this is not a poem, this is just... If you reveal it casually, this is...

"

"Don't be so excited. When we were in the poetry club last semester, we often read each other's poems." Xiao Yao shrugged in confusion.

"That's different! Disgusting! Idiot! Poor! Don't read it casually!..." Yu Luying stuffed the poem into her schoolbag with a red face, muttering: "Why did it fall here...It's inexplicable..."

"I mean," Xiao Yao held his cheek: "Our poetry club hasn't had any club activities for a long time... If this continues, the club will be ruined."

"Don't repeat the grade first and then worry about the club. Take out the math papers!"
