Although high school students are primarily focused on academics, most of them already know what it feels like to be in love, to feel emotions. It’s not uncommon for even younger middle school students to get it, passing love notes and exchanging small gifts.
But, if it is brought up publicly, it is truly embarrassing!
Seeing that Chen Hui is getting angry, the students quickly separate the two, for fear that they might start fighting.
Teacher Tu is thoroughly exhausted.
When she sees Shen MO and the others return, she immediately feels a kinship with the grownup group. She approaches them and says: “Mr. Shen, we’ve found the exit!”
“Hmm, I heard.” Shen Mo casts a casual glance at the students. “Where’s the
“I’ll take you there.” Teacher Tu leads the way, speaking hurriedly. “The exit looks like a door, but the inside is completely white and visibility is non-existent. We can’t determine if it’s safe. Plus, there are many dolls around the door! I wouldn’t dare let them risk it, but these kids are impatient and have been arguing about it the entire way! ”
The students behind Teacher Tu Dan listen to her rattle on, casting embarrassed looks at each other.
Zhang Tianyang noticed that Chen Hui, who was looking pissed, had fallen behind the group. He thought for a moment, then approached her, asking curiously: “You really like that guy, huh? He seems much older than us.”
Chen Hui shot him a side glance: “Go like your grandpa!”
Chen Hui angrily walked away.
Zhang Tianyang, staring at her retreating figure: “Hey! Why are you cursing?”
The path through the maze twisted and turned, seeming to have no end.
Following the markings they had made, the group walked for a long time. It wasn’t until daylight had completely faded and all the lights were on that they finally arrived at the marked exit.
It was a straight path that led to a tall, white glowing door at the end.
As Teacher Tu Dan had said, the sides of the path were lined with dolls— hundreds, even thousands of them, its pale faces illuminated in the light, lined the walls.
Walking amidst them, there was an eerie illusion that the dolls were saluting them.
This unsettling feeling made Bai Youwei frown, but she didn’t sound off.
“Here we are.” Tu Dan tried her best to make Shen MO agree with her, “I didn’t see any dolls outside, but there are so many here! How can I not be worried? We’ve only explored a quarter of the maze so far. The remaining three-quarters are unknown. Are there other exits? No one knows. So, why can’t we explore more of the maze before making a decision?”
She looked at her students and emphasized once more: “I’m not going to stop any of you from leaving. But, this exit appeared too quickly and too strangely! Look at these dolls! Isn’t it a bit odd?!”
The exit was within their reach, but they had to pay heed to their teacher’s warning.
Liao JingJing murmured quietly, “Maybe the maze is using these dolls to deter people from entering the exit.”
The silence became deeper.
Zhang Tianyang, supporting his chin with his hand, pondered, “Hmm, that could be possible…”
Zhang Tianyang felt uncomfortable under her snide laugh, as if he had become a traitor.
The students imperceptibly divided into two small groups. Some wanted to leave, others wanted to stay.
Shen MO didn’t pay much attention to the students’ disputes. He studied the dolls lining the passage and then went to take a look at the door.
Inside the door was a vast sea of fog, while outside, there were mirrors on either side. The mirrors were tall and big, covering half of the wall. The remaining area was crammed with dolls.
Shen MO stood in front of the mirror, but his reflection was not in it.
Bai Youwei, her complexion pale, looked at him, “I’m not feeling well, let’s go back..”
