Curtis said in a calm yet cold voice, “What else do you know?”

Zhang Xin pursed his lips. He couldn’t bring himself to say what he had witnessed before.

However, Curtis said on his behalf, “You’ve written a love letter to Snow, come to Muir’s house, and you followed her today...”

Suddenly feeling his hair stand on end, Zhang Xin straightened his back. “Who are you?”

Instead of answering, Curtis asked, “Now, tell me how you found out about my number.”

“You’ve worked part-time at an advertisement company before. It’s not hard to find your contact number,” replied Zhang Xin.

“Qin Feiyan...” Curtis leaned lazily on the branch, his sharp nail leaving a deep scar on the tree bark.

As the sound of a sharp object scratching a hard surface entered Zhang Xin’s ear via the phone, goosebumps rose all over his skin.

A sinister male voice then rang from the other end again. “Where are you now?”

Alarm bells went off in Zhang Xin’s heart and he gazed around, before replying coldly, “I’m in school. What do you want?”

“Makes sense.” After Zhang Xin heard this, the call was disconnected.

No matter how slow-witted Zhang Xin was, he would have realized that not only did the other party not care about his worries, the other party was instead viewing him as a thorn in his side.

Ordinary people wouldn’t do something out of line in public, but Zhang Xin could be sure that Ke Di wasn’t within the category of “ordinary people”. He wasn’t sure what he would do to him.

After a quick consideration, Zhang Xin dialed his father’s number. “I want to go home. Come and pick me up immediately... Don’t ask me what happened. If you still wish to see your son again, come right away!”

After making the call, Zhang Xin waited at the entrance and didn’t even go out of the school. Also, he was standing at a spot where there were obstacles so that one wouldn’t easily be shot.

However, he wasn’t able to wait till his family’s car came to him. He suddenly heard soft abrasion sounds at his feet. Looking over, he discovered to his horror that tens of colorful snakes of different species had gathered at his feet since god knew when...

Bai Qingqing had a good nap, and when she woke up she glanced at Zhang Xin’s seat. She nudged Tang Li and asked, “Didn’t Zhang Xin come for his lunch break?”

“No idea.” Tang Li stretched her neck, looked at the corridor, and said enthusiastically, “Seems like something has happened. There are so many people standing outside and looking. Let’s go take a look, too.”

As Bai Qingqing also wished to move about to sober up, she agreed.

The two of them walked out and saw that the entire corridor was filled with people. Everyone was discussing something in hushed whispers.

Bai Qingqing walked towards a girl she was on rather good terms with and asked, “What are you guys looking at?”

“We heard Zhang Xin was bitten by snakes at the school entrance. Many policemen have come and are capturing the snakes now,” the girl gossiped.

Bai Qingqing froze. Zhang Xin, snakes. Connecting the two together, the truth was self-evident.

Bai Qingqing’s eyes darted around before she suddenly dashed into the classroom.

There weren’t many people in the classroom. Only a few outstanding students were still in their seats, but even they were looking outwards.

Bai Qingqing returned to her seat and rummaged for her phone in her drawer, before dialing Curtis’s number.

“Was it you?” Once the call got through, Bai Qingqing immediately questioned.

This was the first time Curtis had heard her speaking with such an attitude. He paused for a while on the other end, before replying with a teasing voice, “Heart aching?”

Bai Qingqing clenched her fists. Looking at the few classmates left in the classroom, she lowered her voice and said, “He and I are completely unrelated! There’s no need for you to do this.”

“But that’s not what he thinks,” said Curtis.

Bai Qingqing massaged her temples and asked the question she was most concerned about, “How is he now?”
