As expected, truth was stranger than fiction.
There weren’t any examples of people whose pupils could turn into vertical slits, but since there were so many examples of people with unusual eyes, Kurt didn’t seem that strange anymore!
Qin Feiyan reassured herself with this, finally shaking off the unexplainable sense of fear she felt. However, she lost all appetite.
…
At this moment, Bai Qingqing was having her lunch as well. It had been many years since she last ate the school’s vegetable stew. When she tried it again today… it was just as hard to stomach as she remembered.
Bai Qingqing gobbled up the food as if she was eating medicine. Then, a tall and slender silhouette suddenly loomed over her. Sensing someone’s presence, Bai Qingqing turned back easily.
As expected, it was Curtis.
Bai Qingqing’s eyes widened. “Why are you here?” she asked anxiously while looking around.
There were people everywhere—teachers, students, and the school staff—so he didn’t seem that out of place.
Curtis handed her a plastic bag. “I brought you food.”
Saliva quickly pooled in Bai Qingqing’s mouth as she looked inside the bag. It was roasted duck chopped into pieces.
She quickly reached into the bag with her chopsticks and took a piece. After taking a bite, she sighed. “Now this is human food!”
Curtis glanced at his mate’s paper bowl. Although there was precious rice, the only side dish in the bowl was mushy, slightly discolored overcooked leaves (cabbage). He frowned and took the bowl away.
Thank goodness he had e over. He didn’t know Snow ate such things in school. Even the food they fed to birds with broken wings at home was fresher than this.
“Hey, I still wanna eat!” Bai Qingqing reached for her bowl.
Curtis raised his hand higher and replied, “The rice is dirty.”
The rice is dirty…
The corners of Bai Qingqing’s mouth twitched.
They had had to put up with the disgusting canteen food and criticized it endlessly, but none of their criticisms were as scathing as Curtis’s.
Curtis said, “Give me the card. I’ll go get another bowl of rice.”
Knowing there was no arguing with him, Bai Qingqing resignedly took out her card. “I’ll go get it myself. Wait for me here.”
She then walked towards the canteen.
Bai Qingqing quickly returned with the rice as she no longer needed to queue.
“You should leave quickly, else you’ll be discovered,” she urged him.
Curtis didn’t say a word as a look of reluctance appeared on his face.
“Bai Qingqing! You’re still not done with your food?” Tang Li ran over from the dormitory. Upon seeing the extremely tall and handsome man beside her, she began to feel shy.
“Who is he?” Tang Li asked curiously.
With her back to her, Bai Qingqing glared at Curtis before walking away, pretending to not know him.
“Oh, he’s just a canteen cleaner.” Bai Qingqing began to make up stories again.
Unconvinced, Tang Li dragged her back in front of Curtis and looked at him questioningly.
Curtis nodded. “I’m a cleaner.”
He then took Bai Qingqing’s unfinished food and left.
Bai Qingqing sighed before tucking into her rice and roasted duck.
Now that Curtis wasn’t around, Tang Li instantly began acting like herself again. She folded her arms across her chest and looked at her roasted duck. “Evidence, incriminating evidence.”
Bai Qingqing paused and immediately shoved some roasted duck into her mouth. “Have some.”
Instantly bribed, Tang Li ate the roasted duck with gusto.
When she was done, she asked curiously, “Was that guy your boyfriend?”
Bai Qingqing’s face flushed. That was enough for Tang Li to confirm her suspicions.
She thought about that handsome man’s figure and height before glancing at her best friend’s petite body worryingly. “I heard that tall guys have very long, you know, things. I’m worried for your future!”
