Rebirth begins with an arranged marriage

Chapter 54 Monsters!

Hmm, why did you leave?

Tang Huaiyi was initially puzzled.

Surely it's not because I got a new bird that it ran away in anger?

Upon closer reflection, it didn't seem so... The crow pecked twice, as if telling him to wait here.

Lights out is coming soon, and if we wait any longer we'll have to knock on the dorm manager's door to get into the dorm—the dorm is surrounded by a simple wall, and the dorm manager lives in the room right by the entrance.

After preening its feathers, the owl hooted contentedly.

Tang Huaiyi, seeing that it seemed to be preparing to hunt another prey for him, reminded it, "I'm studying here, so don't send me rabbits or anything like that. If you see that round thing I showed you, you can bring it to me."

The owl hooted again, spread its wings, and flew away.

It flew away, and Tang Huaiyi still had to wait for the crow.

A while later, shouts came from the dormitory to turn off the lights. Then, the lights in the men's and women's dormitories went out one after another, plunging the entire campus into complete darkness.

Footsteps came from the darkness, and Tang Huaiyi was somewhat taken aback: Who could it be at this time?

"Hide? Let's see how long you can hide..."

The man, reeking of alcohol, staggered over from a short distance away, muttering to himself.

It was dark, and only a general outline could be seen.

But Tang Huaiyi knew from the voice and the fact that the guy reeked of alcohol that it must be that scoundrel Monkey Butt.

He's been drinking again; I wonder what he's been up to this time.

He saw a dark shadowy figure called Monkey Butt, and Monkey Butt also vaguely saw a figure of his, but couldn't tell who it was, so he grinned and chuckled.

"Liu Fangfang, why are you so late getting back to the dorm? I went to your dorm earlier to talk to you about some political points, but you weren't there... Hehe, come on, come on, I'll tell you now..."

As he spoke, he reached out and groped towards Tang Huaiyi.

This disgusted Tang Huaiyi greatly—this guy's specialty was this kind of improper and disgusting method, leaning against female classmates to explain problems, getting extremely close, pressing against their backs, massaging their shoulders, arms, and palms... For the past two years in high school, he had become infamous among his classmates.

In particular, he has a very good grasp of the limits of disgust, leaving no trace, just like a toad, disgusting people, and he enjoys it all by himself.

In the dark, and with no way of recognizing who it was, how could Tang Huaiyi possibly allow him to treat him like a female classmate, touching his hand, waist, and putting his arm around his shoulder?

Having made up his mind, he didn't say a word and simply moved aside.

You little monkey, I'm giving you one chance, but you'd better not act like a jerk again.

Little did the monkey-butt know that the person opposite him was a male classmate. Seeing the dark figure dodge in front of him, the monkey-butt grinned even more lewdly: "Hehe, Liu Fangfang... don't go. Politics is very important. Sometimes, learning requires some sacrifices..."

As he spoke, he opened his hand and touched me again.

Go to hell!

Seeing that he was still pestering him, Tang Huaiyi dodged to the side and kicked him hard, sending the monkey's butt rolling on the ground like a gourd in the dark.

"Ouch! Oh my god! Liu Fangfang, why did you kick so hard?"

"Help me up, it hurts so much! You kicked me in the back!"

The monkey's buttocks writhed and screamed on the ground. Tang Huaiyi was about to return to his dormitory when a dark shadow landed and placed a round object in his hand.

Immediately afterwards, the crow spread its wings with a "whoosh" and landed on the monkey's buttocks, pecking hard at the monkey's face.

"Hey! Ah! What's that? A bird?"

"A monster?"

The monkey's face was stung by a peck on its bottom. It fumbled around in the dark, grabbing at something randomly, and then it grabbed a feather. Suddenly, it was completely dumbfounded.

Why is it a bird that hit me? Isn't it Liu Fangfang? What have I run into?

With a scream, Monkey Buttocks was so frightened that the alcohol in his body vanished, and he scrambled to his home in the school's staff quarters.

Once he had run far away, the crow returned to Tang Huaiyi's side.

Tang Huaiyi then realized that he had just kicked the monkey in the butt, which the crow had seen. The crow thought it was an enemy and dropped its food to attack.

Once he understood, Tang Huaiyi was both happy and moved. He helped the crow groom its feathers and whispered, "Don't attack blindly in the future. You can't beat people."

The crow cawed softly and pecked at his palm, gesturing for him to look at what he held.

Tang Huaiyi weighed the silver dollar in his hand and said, "It's something useful to me. Thank you, good bird."

The crow cawed again, then spread its wings and flew away.

This time it's really over. See you tomorrow night.

Tang Huaiyi smiled as he gazed at the night sky, thinking: "Right now, my resources are limited, and I can't do anything better for these birds."

In the future, I will definitely build a special place to raise birds, and I won't confine them in cages. I will let them eat and drink well and live out their lives in peace.

Just then, the light from a flashlight came from the security room.

The monkey's screams had alerted the security guards, who were now checking the situation on campus.

Tang Huaiyi quickly put away the silver coins and headed towards the boys' dormitory. He had only taken two steps when another figure hurried over and headed towards the girls' dormitory.

Upon seeing Tang Huaiyi, he was immediately startled, his voice trembling, "Teacher Hou... Teacher Hou?"

Upon hearing the female student's voice, Tang Huaiyi guessed that it must be Liu Fangfang, who was deliberately avoiding the monkey's butt.

"no."

Liu Fangfang breathed a sigh of relief and quickly returned to the girls' dormitory.

Tang Huaiyi also returned to the boys' dormitory and knocked on the dormitory supervisor's door: "Sir, could you please open the door for me?"

The dorm supervisor had just turned off the lights and wasn't asleep yet. He yawned as he opened the door, "Why are you only coming back now? What class are you in? What were you doing?"

"I was studying in the classroom, and I stayed behind to close the doors and windows. Then I went to the toilet, so I'm late. Thank you for your help, sir." Tang Huaiyi didn't mention his class or name.

The dorm supervisor didn't ask any more questions: "Come back earlier next time... By the way, what was that howling just now? It wasn't you, was it?"

"No, it startled me too, so I came back right away."

As Tang Huaiyi spoke, he entered the dormitory and disappeared into the night.

"Hey—" the dorm supervisor asked from behind, "Which class are you in?"

Tang Huaiyi didn't say anything more. He went back to his dormitory, took off his clothes and hung them to dry, then went to bed to rest.

The dormitory was quiet—most people were asleep, and those who weren't asleep didn't dare to speak up and cause trouble for themselves because of He Genbao, who was always complaining.

The next morning, before dawn, the students got up one after another.

Song Siyuan walked with Tang Huaiyi: "Why did you come back so late last night? The lights were already out and you still weren't back."

"I was delayed by going to the bathroom, and I went back after the lights were turned off."

Tang Huaiyi said.

Song Siyuan chuckled and leaned closer to whisper, "So, you, under the cover of darkness... you and Li Xiujuan...?"

As he spoke, he started making faces.

Tang Huaiyi chuckled and nudged him, saying, "You should be studying! What's with all this free time?"

"Haha, that must be it. Are you embarrassed?"

The two chatted and laughed as they arrived at the classroom and began their new day of learning.
