Chapter 28: Li Qi is back
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
d.a.m.n it, Ye Lingling thought uneasily, sitting on her seat. She decided never to speak a word to Lu Shu ever again.
Lu Shu sent a message to his WeChat group gladly.
His chat group comprised some random people, but the majority of them were his cla.s.smates.
Sending a message with more than seven lines will lead to some parts of the message being hidden, and his friends would have to select show more to see the entire content.
Ye Lingling sat there with a look of helplessness. There wasn’t much entertainment in school, so she looked at her phone, and saw what Lu Shu sent.
Why do I not have a cute deskie?

While my deskie has one.
Ye Lingling almost smashed her table. Have you had enough? Had enough? Teacher, I want a change of seat!
Not sharing answers could be condoned by her, but what was with this message?!
Could they even be cla.s.smates still?!
How are you cute? Could you please explode?!
“From Ye Lingling’s distress, +536”
Oho, Lu Shu’s eyes gleamed, he had miraculously emerged victorious!
Such a short lesson in the morning and he managed to ama.s.s more than 1800 distress points, thanks so much deskie.
We will be brothers from now on!
However, the consequence was, the second exam of the morning was on English, and Lu Shu felt he didn’t have many opportunities to gain more distress points.
After all, he had already tried his best, and other people wouldn’t be holding onto much hope for the exam.
But Lu Shu had a miscalculation. During the exam, the cla.s.smates next to him thought about his actions and had a consistent negativity towards him…
+1+1+1+1…
After just one morning, Lu Shu actually gained more than 2000 distress points… He didn’t know this was possible.
In the afternoon, everyone went out for lunch. Lu Shu’s message wasn’t just visible to Ye Lingling, but everyone else as well.
The cla.s.smates who were seated around him discussed amongst each other and Lu Shu thought that everyone was angry with him for what happened.
During the exam, his antics disturbed everyone!
Especially when everyone saw Lu Shu and Liu Chang exchanging slips of papers, that was irrefutable evidence!
“It’s just to say he couldn’t awaken, everyone speaks the truth. He’s always been weak and frail. In one semester, he has taken medical leave quite frequently, how could he awaken?”
“Yeah, that’s why he got angry and refused to let anyone copy his answers, right everyone?”
“Yeah, and he still insulted Ye Lingling online. She almost cried while walking away just now.”
“Hey, have you guys noticed, Lu Shu’s complexion has been decent these few days.”
“What’s the use of that? He’s gonna fall sick in a few days anyway.”
Lu Shu ate indifferently in the canteen. His lunch was prepared in the morning at home, stir-fried cabbage with rice.
The food in the school canteen wasn’t expensive, but whenever Lu Shu could save, he would do it.
His cla.s.smates, to Lu Shu, didn’t think logically. Since they insulted him, it was natural and understandable for him to retaliate.
Moreover, Lu Shu wanted to gain distress points. So even if they didn’t offend him, when the opportunity arises, he would offend them…
While eating, Lu Shu saw the female student from the neighboring cla.s.s who had awakened. She was sitting alone in the canteen, eating a meal quietly, neither speaking nor using her phone.
This girl could really keep silent, unlike Li Qi from cla.s.s 7, who used his strength carelessly and openly after awakening. No one was even sure where he was now.
Lu Shu had to observe how the government treated Li Qi. If he disappeared for good, it was obvious that the government wanted to continue hiding all these unnatural occurrences. If Li Qi does come back, the generation of the metahumans was really inevitable.
Lunchtime was only 50 minutes, and they had to return to cla.s.s to self-study after lunch. They could also rest, but they just had to wait until the afternoon lesson at 2.30pm.
Since they weren’t under the supervision of the teachers, the students traded glances occasionally.
Luo Cheng international school’s soph.o.m.ore 2 students were treated as such.
Lu Shu suddenly noticed Ye Lingling, who was beside him, using her phone to chat. His vision was extremely good now, and with a glance, he could see a few familiar people in the chat, and the group name was ‘metahumans’.
Ohh, these group of students created another group during lunch? Was this the group in which everyone discussed metahumans?
Was there only a small number of people in that group? Or was he the only one not included?
Lu Shu glanced again. The group had more than 50 people, showing that only a small number of people weren’t added to the group.
It seemed like his cla.s.smates were bent on ostracizing and excluding him.
Lu Shu didn’t take this to heart. After a year and a half, everyone would leave and take their separate paths. Lu Shu also found his cla.s.smates funny, such a big group and there was not a single metahuman inside, what’s the point of discussing metahumans in the group…
Ye Lingling noticed Lu Shu glancing at her, and snorted coldly while placing her books on her left, blocking Lu Shu’s vision.
At this point, Lu Shu couldn’t care less about Ye Lingling. He found out that the flame in his heart, through the training these few days, was slowly turning from white to green.
What was this change?
That flame, to Lu Shu, was getting hotter as if it was jumping around and burning.
But this time Lu Shu really did not understand. He didn’t know why the flame would change. He could now use, by his own will, the strength from the celestial map, but this flame was beyond his control.
It was like… It had yet to awaken from its deep slumber.
In this situation, even if Lu Shu tried to think of a way to resolve this issue, it was really too difficult as he trained alone and knew nothing.
“Li Qi is back in school!” The originally quiet afternoon was disturbed by a shout, “My friend from cla.s.s 7 told me, Li Qi just came back to cla.s.s. The school allowed him back under supervision!”
Lu Shu sat at a corner while his cla.s.smates were absolutely shocked. This was the first metahuman to appear by their side. Originally, people thought that Li Qi would disappear mysteriously, but he eventually came back openly. Having beaten up a teacher, he only received a punishment of returning under supervision. Compared to other offenses, this was a very lenient punishment.
His cla.s.smates were discussing agitatedly, coming to a conclusion that metahumans were not brought away by the government for investigation.
Only Lu Shu was thinking otherwise – the government might be planning to stop hiding all these metahumans!
