2158 I'm Bold too

Gu Ning was talking with Leng Shaoting on the phone.

"Have you eaten?" Leng Shaoting asked.

"Yeah, how about you?" Gu Ning asked.

"Me too," said Leng Shaoting. "Has anything bad happened to you?"

"Yeah, I noticed something wrong at school." Gu Ning didn't bother to keep it a secret from Leng Shaoting, so she told him what she had been through yesterday. She didn't tell him about her meeting with Jing Yunfei because she didn't want to worry him. After all, the matter about Jing Yunfei was very complicated.

"You must be careful when you're dealing with it. No matter what you encounter, protect yourself first. If you need any help, turn to our master and mother," said Leng Shaoting. Although he trusted Gu Ning, he was still worried about her safety.

"Yeah, I know. You should be careful too. No matter what you run into, protect yourself first." Gu Ning reminded Leng Shaoting with concern.

She knew Leng Shaoting carried out his tasks with his close comrades and she might seem a little selfish by saying that.

Gu Ning wouldn't stop Leng Shaoting from standing out when his comrades were in danger, but it was on condition that he must be able to do that. If he had to exchange other people's lives with his own, Gu Ning couldn't accept it.

However, danger was always unpredictable, and sometimes reality went the opposite of what you thought.

Sometimes, you might feel you wouldn't be able to rescue your close friends, but you could if you stood out.

Whether it was possible or not, people did some actions subconsciously and it was uncontrollable.

"Sure!" In order to not worry Gu Ning, Leng Shaoting agreed.

They chatted for a while, then hung up. When Gu Ning came back to Song Miaoge and the others, they joked about the call with her.

"Oh, look at you, girl in love. Tell us, was it your boyfriend?" Song Miaoge made a face at Gu Ning. Although she asked that question, she actually already knew the answer.

"What boyfriend, it's her fiancé! Fiancé is different from boyfriend. Let alone a fiancé, you don't even have a boyfriend. You should know nothing about it." Zhang Zikai corrected.

Once Song Miaoge heard that, she squinted and looked dangerous. Staring at Zhang Zikai, she clenched her teeth and said, "Zhang Zikai, you're determined to argue against me, right?"

Seeing that, Zhang Zikai immediately ran behind Gu Ning, seeking protection. She was afraid Song Miaoge would hurt her because Song Miaoge scratched her just now and it itched very uncomfortably.

She was just a weak woman who had little strength, while Song Miaoge was good at kung fu. Even if there were ten of her, she was no match for Song Miaoge.

"I didn't argue against you. I was telling the truth." Even though Zhang Zikai was scared of Song Miaoge, she still argued in annoyance.

"Ha, don't hide then. Get out now, we need to talk…" Song Miaoge looked at Zhang Zikai with a faint smile and said meaningfully.

Zhang Zikai was frightened and immediately appealed to Gu Ning for help. "Gu Ning, you must help me! Song Miaoge always bullies me because she's much stronger than me."

"Ha-ha, you beg for help when you can't win. It's what cowards do." Song Miaoge laughed at her.

"You're bullying the weak because you're the strong. Why don't you have a fight with Gu Ning?" Zhang Zikai argued angrily.

"…" Song Miaoge was struck dumb for a second, and didn't know what to say.

Baili Zongxue and Gu Ning said nothing from the beginning to the end. They just stood aside and watched the drama.

When it was time for classes, they left for their own classrooms.

On their way, Gu Ning met Huang Zhenlang. Because she didn't really know him, she didn't bother to greet him.

Huang Zhenlang, however, recognized her and greeted her of his own accord. "Hi, you must be Gu Ning, right?"

"Yeah, hi, nice to see you!" Since he greeted her, she couldn't forget her manners.

"Nice to see you too. Gu Ning, you're really the honor of the Capital University! You're so successful at such a young age. Keep on fighting!" Huang Zhenlang said. He truly respected Gu Ning, so he wasn't lying.

"Thanks, I will," said Gu Ning.

"Great, go to your classes now." Huang Zhenlang didn't waste any more of her time because he didn't have any bad thoughts about Gu Ning, or to be specific, he didn't dare to have any bad thoughts about Gu Ning.

"Sure, bye-bye," said Gu Ning, then she walked away.

If she didn't know Huang Zhenlang's dirty secret, she might have had a good impression of him, but she happened to know it, so she didn't have a good impression about him now.

If he hadn't done anything unacceptable, she wouldn't do anything to him, but she couldn't stay on the sidelines since he had done totally unacceptable things.

Gu Ning hated bad people, especially when they got away with crimes.

…

A day soon passed, and the evening class was over.

Once the evening class was over, Qu Hanjiao went to the Future Lake again.

However, before Qu Hanjiao arrived, Gu Ning came first. Because she didn't intend to reveal her identity, she changed her clothes and wore a peaked cap and mask on the way.

When Gu Ning arrived, the female water ghost saw her. Even though Gu Ning was wearing a mask, it could still see that she was the same girl who came last night, so it felt frustrated.

Because of Gu Ning's arrival, it couldn't appear. If it couldn't appear, it wouldn't be able to get Qu Hanjiao's blood. If it stopped doing that for a single day, its whole plan would be aborted. Therefore, the female water ghost was very angry with Gu Ning, but it didn't dare to confront her head-on, because it was no match for Gu Ning.

When Qu Hanjiao got there, she suddenly saw someone standing there, and was startled.

Although Qu Hanjiao didn't know who she was, the person who appeared here at this time was just a student from their school, and she was a girl.

The girl was so bold that she dared to come here late at night!

Anyway, since there was someone else, she naturally couldn't give her blood to the female water ghost, so she left first, and decided to come back when the person left.

"Wait a second."

Just as Qu Hanjiao turned around, Gu Ning opened her mouth, and her voice naturally changed to the voice that she used to speak when she pretended to be Tang Aining.

Hearing that, Qu Hanjiao suddenly stopped, and looked back at Gu Ning, then she asked a little nervously, "D-Did you just call me?"

"I heard that people have died here before, and many people dare not come here. How do you dare to come? Are you not afraid at all?" Gu Ning asked.

A guilty conscience flashed through Qu Hanjiao's face, and she asked, "You're a girl too, and you also came here. Why are you not afraid?"

"I'm bold," said Gu Ning.

"I'm also bold," said Qu Hanjiao, but she didn't have much confidence. Even though she had made a deal with the female water ghost, she was still very scared when she came here by herself every night.

She came here before by accident.
