TANH Chapter 35.1: Seminary 11.1

I’ll bite you to death!

That hand was icy cold, as if it had come out of an ice cellar. It didn’t have the slightest warmth to it at all.

The palm covered Wen Qing’s chest. Not only did it not warm him up, it kept absorbing Wen Qing’s own body temperature.

Wen Qing shivered from the cold. His red lips gradually lost their colour, and his cheeks paled even more.

So cold……

In a daze, he heard another sneer.

There was something biting his Adam’s apple. It wasn’t the long, thin and soft thing from before. Rather, it was like lips, but it wasn’t as soft as lips. It seemed to be a lip-shaped ice cube, rubbing his neck ambiguously.

Wen Qing instinctively raised his head, whimpered and made a slight sound.

Sensing his resistance, the man sneered and drawled, “Don’t want this, don’t want that, I have never dealt at a loss before.”

“I’ve told you before, quid pro quo.”

“Since I’ve saved you… you must give me some benefits.”

Wen Qing whimpered. He crooked his fingers slightly and touched a foot, but there was still no warmth. Like a mannequin in a shopping mall, or an idol made of plaster stone.

“If you don’t say anything, you’re agreeing.” the man chuckled lightly.

Wen Qing tried his best to open his mouth. He wanted to say that he didn’t agree, and wanted to scold him for cheating.

Immediately afterwards, the other’s lips covered his.

There was no intertwining of lips and teeth, just a simple caress and kiss of the lips.

Wen Qing closed his mouth, but the other party deliberately squeezed his lower lip, forcing him to open his mouth.

Wen Qing mumbled twice, subconsciously wanting to press his tongue against his lips.

Immediately afterwards, there was a strange taste on the tip of his tongue.

It was faint, like lime powder, like the taste of the wall after he licked it as a child.

Tastes bad.

Wen Qing’s face wrinkled immediately. The word ‘disgusting’ was written all over his face.

“Delicate.”

The man lightly chuckled, and pinched his face. “I’ll let you go this time.”

“Next time…” saying this, the man paused. It was unknown what he was thinking of when he suddenly chuckled lowly. “Next time, maybe it won’t be the same, poor thing.”

When Wen Qing woke up, his body was cold yet hot. The hair on his forehead was soaked in cold sweat and sticking to his forehead. His back was also chilly.

The surface of his body was piercingly cold, but there was an inexplicable heat in his body, as if someone was afraid of him being cold and set a fire in his body.

After a while, Wen Qing’s hands and feet gradually warmed up.

His mind also began to slowly turn once more.

After a while, Wen Qing ignorantly asked, “System, I- earlier, I…”

001: 【 Hm? 】

He didn’t know why, but Wen Qing felt that the system’s voice sounded a little out of sorts.

He pursed his lips, lowered his tone, and quietly asked, “Was I sleeping earlier?”

001 responded.

Wen Qing rubbed his eyes. When he touched the water stains on his face, he was slightly taken aback, and his cheeks flushed.

Was he still drooling in his sleep?!

Wen Qing hastily wiped it off.

There was a deathly silence in the confinement room. Soon, Wen Qing couldn’t help but start to think about the things he was afraid of.

He lowered his eyes, and continued to talk with the system with a red face, “I seemed to have dreamed of snakes, a lot of them, and then…”

After that, Wen Qing couldn’t remember clearly. What had happened in the dream was vague, like he was dreaming, and he forgot about it when he awoke.

After thinking for a while, he managed to remember some fragments. “It’s like… there was also a wall pressing on my body…”

Really heavy.

001 spoke:【 No need to think. 】

Wen Qing was stunned.

001 coldly said:【 There’s no meaning. 】

【 You can leave after five more minutes. 】

Wen Qing nodded, not quite understanding. He couldn’t help but ask, “Does it count as being confined if I’m like this?”

But he had a nightmare at best, and he didn’t see anything scary.

001 explained: 【 Time-limited buff. 】

Wen Qing was stunned. “That unknown fluid buff?”

So he didn’t see anything scary?

He suddenly understood and said, “It turns out that this is what ‘full of vitality, sharp-eyed and clear-headed’ means.”

001 looked at the buff’s last explanation in silence: “and able to work hard in bed for 300 rounds”

He reminded in a low voice: 【 Each explanation has its own meaning.】

Wen Qing didn’t understand, but he still obediently answered, “Okay.”

Not long after, the confinement room’s door opened.

Teacher Chen stood at the doorway. Because of the light behind him, Wen Qing couldn’t see his appearance clearly. He only saw Teacher Chen’s right hand hanging down, as if it was broken.

“You can leave.”

Wen Qing hurriedly stood up from the ground. Because he had been sitting for too long, his eyes darkened when he suddenly stood up.

His body swayed, and Teacher Chen immediately reached out to support him.

Wen Qing bumped into Teacher Chen’s hand. It was soft and inelastic, as if it was boneless, like the hand of a corpse, icy cold.

Wen Qing’s eyelids jumped. He hurriedly withdrew his hand and stammeringly said, “Th- thank you sir.”

“It’s no problem,” Teacher Chen smiled warmly. “Let’s go, I’ll take you back to the dormitory.” 

Wen Qing nervously took a step to the side and quietly said, “No need to trouble you, sir.”

“I’m fine, I can head back by myself.”

Teacher Chen smiled as he walked beside him. He didn’t say anything, like he was insistent on sending him back.

Wen Qing didn’t dare to say much, and walked in the corridor with a bowed head.

After walking out of the basement, he saw Yu Xing’s idol again.

Wen Qing’s footsteps paused. He felt that the appearance of this idol from the time that he entered was a little different.

He wasn’t sure if it was just his illusion, so glanced at it two more times.

He tilted his head and looked it over. The corners of the idol’s lips seemed to be curved up a little?

The lips were also a little faded.

Wen Qing blinked. It seemed like a low quality idol, it can actually lose colour.

On the way back to the dormitory, Wen Qing didn’t see Bai Tong, Li Jingjing, or Oz at all. There was only him and Teacher Chen the whole way.

After sending him to the dormitory’s door, Teacher Chen paused. He smiled and said to Wen Qing, “Hurry up and go rest.”

Wen Qing nodded, and politely bid goodbye to the teacher, before he ran inside without looking back.

Teacher Chen remained in place. Only when he couldn’t see Wen Qing’s receding figure did his smile abruptly vanish. The slightly trembling right hand fell to the ground with a plop.

Teacher Chen bent down, calmly picked up his right hand, put it back into his sleeve, turned around and walked into the darkness, gradually disappearing.

Wen Qing stopped when he arrived at the third floor.

He didn’t dare to return to his own dormitory. He was worried that Oz was also there.

After hesitating for a while, he turned and walked towards Bai Tong’s bedroom. Just as he was about to knock on the door, Bai Tong’s voice sounded from the stairs. “Wen Qing.”

Wen Qing turned around. Bai Tong and Li Jingjing had just arrived upstairs.

Bai Tong seemed normal, as if nothing had ever happened, whereas Li Jingjing was pale and seemed to be in shock.

Bai Tong quickly walked up to Wen Qing. He looked into his eyes and stared at him for a moment, before sighing in relief. “It’s good that you’re fine, let’s go in and talk.”

The three of them walked into Bai Tong’s dormitory. Bai Tong poured everyone a glass of warm water.

Li Jingjing held the glass of water and said with a pale face, “Fuck, I saw a group of black mice in there. Some of them were already decayed, and they were still squeaking over there.”

She took small sips of the water, and hatefully said, “It’s really too evil, I almost got brainwashed.”

Bai Tong lowered his eyes and lightly said, “I saw the past.”

He didn’t go into detail, and Wen Qing and Li Jingjing didn’t press on.

Just as Wen Qing was about to speak, Li Jingjing hurriedly said to him, “Don’t don’t don’t, you don’t need to say it, don’t think about those extremely evil things, I just want to complain for a bit.”

Wen Qing smiled at her. “I didn’t see any sort of messy things.”

He truthfully said, “I fell asleep in there. I dreamed, but I couldn’t remember anything clearly when I woke up.”

“The system said it was because of what the High Priest gave me to drink in the morning.”

Li Jingjing was stunned for a while. Soon after that, she said, “Is it that vine juice?”

“Why don’t we go steal a bit tomorrow?”

Seeing her excited appearance, Bai Tong frowned and solemnly said, “What you get actively and what you get passively won’t necessarily be the same thing.”

“That makes sense.” Li Jingjing sighed. “Forget it, let’s sleep first.”

Wen Qing placed the glass down. He had just stood up when he heard Bai Tong say, “Wen Qing, do you want to sleep at my place today?”

Wen Qing was startled.

“It seems that the curfew is only targeted at those outside the dormitory, and there is no teacher to check the rooms at night.” Bai Tong’s eyes went half-lidded, and explained, “Plus, I don’t trust Oz too much.”

Li Jingjing stopped in place, and also recalled what had happened before being confined. She angrily said, “Oz, this crazy guy, violating the school rules is violating the school rules, but why did you suddenly bring along our Wen Qing and ruin our Wen Qing’s reputation!”

Wen Qing pursed his lips and quietly echoed her. “He’s crazy!”

Bai Tong continued speaking, “If you don’t feel at ease, we can also go to your dormitory to sleep.”

Wen Qing was a little confused. “Why wouldn’t I be at ease?”

What was he not at ease about?

“It’s fine if I sleep here, “Wen Qing blinked, and quietly said, “But I want to shower first.”

Li Jingjing had just walked to the doorway. Hearing Wen Qing’s words, he paused and turned his head to tell the two, “I also want to sleep together.”

Bai Tong was puzzled. “Don’t you sleep together all the time?”

The corners of Li Jingjing’s lips lifted. “I mean, let’s sleep in one room.”

“I’m a little worried about the mice in the dormitory now. It’ll be safer to sleep with our Brother Bai.”

“As long as you guys don’t treat me as a woman, it’s all good.”

Bai Tong responded.

Wen Qing smiled and said, “Then Bai Tong and I sleep on the floor, while you sleep on the bed.”

“That’s so embarrassing,” though her mouth was saying this, Li Jingjing turned her head and crawled onto bed with a smile. She covered herself with the quilt and said to the two, “Goodnight.”

The three of them took turns to shower. Wen Qing hugged the towel to himself and slowly remembered that all of his clothes were in the bedroom on the fourth floor, and Bai Tong’s clothes were too big for him.

Wen Qing spoke: “I’ll go grab some clothes first.”

Bai Tong answered, “I’ll follow you.”

Li Jingjing immediately sat up from her bed, “Me too.”

After walking upstairs to the fourth floor and pushing the door open, 406 was silent. Nobody was there.

Wen Qing quickly packed a few of his own clothes and planned to stay with Bai Tong for the time being.

He had just closed the dormitory’s door when the door of the neighbouring dormitory clicked open by a small crack.
