Jiang Lan was curious and sent a message to Wang Qing to ask about last night. However, Wang Qing did not reply. Jiang Lan guessed that he must be catching up on sleep, so he put down his phone and went to work.
He just couldn’t concentrate at work.
After staring at the computer for a while, Jiang Lan’s thoughts unconsciously turned to the strange dream he had last night.
Fourth brother always said that he was a bit stubborn. He didn’t think so before, but now he was clearly aware of it – so if he didn’t think this matter through, he probably wouldn’t be able to get over this hurdle.
He exited the office, opened Baidu, and searched for “Why would I want to eat your best friend?” and “What should you do if you have an appetite for your best friend?”
After searching in different ways for a while, all the results that popped up were irrelevant topics. He flipped through the pages carefully and saw an article titled “Appetite is a deeper sexual desire.”
Jiang Lan: ???
As a glutton who was not picky about food, Jiang Lan felt that it was a bit far-fetched. He had eaten so much food and had an appetite for even more. It was impossible that he wanted to mate with all of them.
He was too lazy to even click into it, so he skipped the title and continued scrolling.
Then he turned to a post on a relationship forum called “My boyfriend often says I look delicious and wants to eat me up, and he bites my fingers. What does that mean?”
If you replace “boyfriend” with “good friend”, this post seemed more in line with his situation. Jiang Lan clicked on it with a thirst for knowledge and was shocked by the rude replies in the thread.
[1l: Isn’t this a sexual suggestion? Want to eat you = want to f**k you.]
[2l: I love you so much that I want to applaud you for love. This is a euphemism.]
[3l: The host is here to show off his affection? Raise the torch.]
Jiang Lan: ???
His eyes were fixed on the reply on the first floor that said: “Want to eat you = want to f**k you”, and his whole body was about to break apart.
Jiang Lan closed the webpage in a trance, thinking that it was unlikely. He didn’t have any impulses towards Ying Qiao, did he? Fourth brother said that the dragon race was very strong during the estrus period, but he had never been horny towards Ying Qiao.
No, he had never even experienced estrus.
His face was filled with sorrow, and he didn’t know which answer was more shocking: “wanting to eat Ying Qiao” or “wanting to mate with Ying Qiao”.
Xue Meng, who saw him being absent from work and staring at the computer screen with a dull expression, with a look of shock appearing in his dullness, stretched his neck to look at Jiang Lan: “What’s wrong? Did the stocks you bought hit the down limit?”
Jiang Lan turned his head and looked at him expressionlessly.
This expression showed that something big had happened!
Xue Meng slid his swivel chair to his desk, put on the posture of a life mentor, and said earnestly: “If there is anything that makes you unhappy, you must not keep it in your heart.”
Uncle Zhou was away recently, and Xiao Xiaoyu and Zhang Tianxing were out, so there were only two of them in the office.
Jiang Lan hesitated for a moment and asked, “Do you have a partner?”
Xue Meng, who was ready to act as a caring elder brother: ???
“If you want to attack me personally, just be direct. No need to beat around the bush. I can handle it.”
Jiang Lan looked innocent and a little disappointed: “No? Forget it. You probably wouldn’t understand anyway if I told you.”
Xue Meng was not convinced: “Although I don’t have a romantic partner, I have had many crushes. I have also watched all the popular idol dramas with my mom, which gave me a pair of sharp eyes to identify scumbags and bitches. There is no relationship problem that I don’t understand.”
Jiang Lan was half-believing and half-doubting.
Xue Meng winked and said, “Are you having relationship problems?”
Jiang Lan hesitantly told the story of last night’s dream, but he left out Ying Qiao’s identity. He had probably never discussed this topic with anyone before, and his face was red when he finished.
“The snake monster in your dream…could it be Ying Qiao?” Xue Meng was horrified. In his perception, Ying Qiao was still a human being.
Who knew Jiang Lan was also shocked: “How did you know?!”
Xue Meng: …
It turned out that he was not a human being. Were monsters everywhere now?
He complained: “You two are so gay, Xiao Xiaoyu is even secretly supporting you two.”
Jiang Lan argued weakly: “Ying Qiao and I are good friends. Isn’t that how I get along with you guys?”
“Don’t talk nonsense! I’m super straight!” Xue Meng covered his chest and turned pale and said bluntly: “It is said that men’s heads and women’s waists should not be touched. Count the number of times Ying Qiao has touched your head.”
After saying that, he quickly reached out and plucked Jiang Lan’s hair: “Try it, is it the same taste?”
Jiang Lan awkwardly retracted his head when he reached out to pat him reflexively.
It seemed to be different.
When Ying Qiao touched his head, he felt a soft and warm feeling, which was very comfortable and made him unconsciously want to rub the top of his head against his palm.
When it was Xue Meng’s move, Jiang Lan just wanted to chop off his claws.
Xue Meng clicked his tongue twice, pinched his nose and moved away from him: “Although some people don’t admit it, I have already smelled the sour smell of love.”
Jiang Lan: …
He couldn’t even refute it.
After being comforted by Xue Meng, Jiang Lan also felt that Ying Qiao was a little different from the others for him.
But this was different, but how exactly was it different, he couldn’t figure it out. Based on his limited life experience, if you don’t know the result, you can find out only by trying it yourself.
It was like seeing an unfamiliar monster and not knowing whether it would taste good or not. Just take a bite and you’ll know!
Jiang Lan decided to give it a try.
He originally wanted to ask Ying Qiao out in the evening to try, but just as the message was sent, Wang Qing replied to him and asked him to meet at the school gate tonight to talk in detail. He said that the situation last night was too complicated to explain in a few words, and he would understand it if he saw it with his own eyes.
Ying Qiao quickly replied “OK” and asked him where to meet.
Jiang Lan hesitated for a moment, thinking that he could also try at school, so he simply asked Ying Qiao to meet him at the school gate.
So at 7:30 that evening, Jiang Lan, Ying Qiao and Wang Qing met at the gate of Siyuan Primary School.
Jiang Lan deliberately left Suan Ni and Jiao Tu at home. In order to appease the two clever guys, he even relented and allowed them to play games for a few more hours.
Ying Qiao glanced at Wang Qing, who was an eyesore, and asked, “Has the ghost not been caught yet?”
Wang Qing scratched his head: “Master Zhang came to see yesterday and said there were no ghosts.”
Jiang Lan suppressed his anxiety and tried to focus on the business first: “What happened last night?”
Wang Qing greeted the security guard and led them inside while telling them what happened last night.
It was about this time last night. After he met Zhang Tianxing, they stayed in the classroom where the incident had happened. Zhang Tianxing had also brought along a very simple compass. The two waited in the classroom until two o’clock in the morning, when the strange thing happened again.
The incandescent light in the classroom turned on and off repeatedly, and the electric fan was turned to the maximum until the blades made a whirring sound.
The portraits in the corridor not only rolled their eyes at them, but also had an almost provocative smile on their lips.
Probably because they hadn’t been able to catch him for two nights in a row, this time the prank was even more blatant than before. Not only were the lights in this classroom turned on, but the lights in the classroom upstairs were also turned on, and even the dull sound of a ball hitting the ground could be heard in the corridor above.
Bang, bang, bang…
The blows were very regular, as if they were hitting the heart.
Zhang Tianxing held the compass in his hand, but the needle remained still and did not move at all.
They climbed the stairs to the second floor again, and suddenly in the dark corridor they heard the sound of a little girl counting the steps.
One, two, three… thirteen, fourteen!
The tender child’s voice changed tone when counting to fourteen, and then made a sharp cry, repeating “one more step, one more step”.
Wang Qing felt his scalp tingling when he recalled the scene at that time. Fortunately, Zhang Tianxing had a blank expression from beginning to end, and was very calm. After taking him around the second floor, he said that there were no ghosts haunting the school, and it might be some monsters. But he didn’t know much about monsters, so he asked Wang Qing to ask Jiang Lan to take a look.
Wang Qing didn’t believe it at first, but after Zhang Tianxing left, he plucked up the courage to wait alone until dawn. He also counted the steps on the second floor several times to make sure there were only thirteen steps.
Then he asked the security guard if he heard the little girl screaming last night. The security guard said he didn’t hear any sound, but only saw the lights in the classroom on the first floor being turned on again.
But last night, all the lights in the classrooms on the second floor were also on, however the security guard didn’t see it.
“That was pretty much what happened last night.” Wang Qing said tiredly, “I wonder if there will be something new tonight.”
As they were talking, the three of them had already stopped in front of the classroom door on the first floor.
The classroom door was not locked, Jiang Lan and Ying Qiao went in and took a look around, then went upstairs to check everything. It was indeed clean, with nothing inside.
They returned to the classroom on the first floor, and Jiang Lan said, “Ying Qiao and I will stay here today. You go to the security room and stay in touch at all time to see if there is any difference between the inside and the outside.”
Wang Qing left in a hurry, leaving Jiang Lan and Ying Qiao alone in the classroom.
The classroom door was closed, and the two dragged two chairs and sat in the back corner of the classroom waiting for the strange phenomenon to appear. There was no light on in the classroom, only a faint light from outside shone in through the window.
But this did not prevent Jiang Lan from seeing things.
He looked at Ying Qiao quietly, and the more he looked, the more he felt… Ying Qiao was really good-looking, especially his eyes, with long and thick eyelashes. He really wanted to touch them.
The skin also looked very good, white, smooth and elastic, a bit like milk pudding.
Jiang Lan swallowed and remembered the slippery and thick snake tail in his dream.
He thought about it for a while, then said to Ying Qiao in a voice that he thought was very strong but was actually a little weak: “Can I see your tail?”
After saying this, his heart was beating like a drum.
Ying Qiao, who was acting as a sculptor, suddenly turned his head to look at him. Because of the light behind him, his deep eyes seemed unfathomable.
Seeing that he didn’t say anything, Jiang Lan was a little disappointed: “Is it not possible?”
“Of course.” Ying Qiao looked at him deeply, his voice a little hoarse when he spoke. Although he didn’t know why the little monster suddenly wanted to see his tail, Ying Qiao couldn’t refuse. What a rare opportunity to show himself off!
In Jiang Lan’s eyes, which suddenly brightened, a black snake tail appeared.
Although it was a bit of a pity that he couldn’t show his real golden tail to the little monster, the transformed snake tail was also based on the dragon tail. The faint light from the window fell on the tail, and the well-maintained scales glowed, like thin pieces of black jade connected together, forming a beautiful, thick, and powerful snake tail.
Among the demons, a beautiful and powerful tail was a weapon for courtship.
Seeing the amazement that unconsciously flashed in the little monster’s eyes, Ying Qiao proudly shook his tail. The thick snake tail swayed gently, and the most harmless tip of the tail gently rested on Jiang Lan’s leg.
The author has something to say:
Longlong: Look at my tail, do you want to touch it?
Jiang Lan (slurping): I want to have a taste.
Longlong: ???
