Wasn't that how the heroine acted towards the hero in an idol drama? She was shy, too afraid to confess, but then she saw him in the hallway and called out. She nervously glanced over at him while standing on tiptoe—the perfect ending to the episode.

The image struck Zong Yan like a crash of thunder. Inside he was at a loss.

"Sure." He nodded at Ye JingMing's friend, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and walked over. "What do you want?"

Zong Yan got straight to the point. He casually released his hands and leaned against the iron railing.

The sunlight fell across his face, covering his entire body in gold. It was as warm as flowing honey, dyeing his white shirt a warm color.

The other students in the hallway were waiting for the parent-teacher meeting in the classroom to end. When they saw this scene, they gathered together and began to whisper.

"Am I seeing that right? Isn't that Ye JingMing and Zong Yan from Class 3?"

"It must be them. Strange, doesn't Ye JingMing hate Zong Yan? I remember his little brothers made trouble for Zong Yan before. Weird."

"Did that really happen?"

"Yeah, I have a friend in Class 3. He told me about it."

Compared with Zong Yan's openness, Ye JingMing's gaze was much more complicated.

"Um." He instinctively touched his nose. In psychological terms, this was a signal indicating weakness or uncertainty.

"What's the matter?" Zong Yan looked away from Ye JingMing's face. He seemed very relaxed and glanced at the flag-raising platform below.

With his EQ, he had no idea what the other party was going to say.

After the previous incident, the normal procedure was to use a magic pattern to erase Ye JingMing's memory, but Zong Yan knew Ye JingMing was a senior three student. The magic pattern had certain risks, so he asked for a favor.

As a result, the sisters of the Dragon Group Logistics Department gave Ye JingMing a confidentiality agreement to sign. After that they let him go.

Otherworldly incidents normally didn't take place in urban areas. Most of the time, investigators could just evacuate ordinary people with search warrants or similar documents.

But lately alien creatures were proliferating all around the school. Investigators and the Logistics Department of the Spire Council were constantly at work. They'd distributed stacks of memory-altering magic patterns to all the investigators and drew up a number of confidentiality contracts.

The occult world had direct contact with various government officials. The terms of the confidentiality contract were extremely harsh, no laughing matter at all, which ensured to the greatest possible extent that information about the occult world wouldn't ever be leaked. Of course, even if Ye JingMing suddenly went crazy and tried to post about his experience online, the investigators' network monitoring was serious business; if he talked to the people around him, they'd probably think he'd gone insane.

But it seemed like this incident had also given Ye JingMing the most unforgettable experience of his life.

"..."

Ye JingMing glared fiercely at the onlookers behind them. His little brothers obediently went over and yelled, "What are you looking at!" "Don't look, don't look, Ye Ge is talking serious business with Yan Ge!"

When everyone backed away, only then did Ye JingMing hesitantly speak. "Are you actually an alien?"

Zong Yan: "..."
