Inside the dormitory of the two
Moon Trace Lorrian sat upright at the desk, using the skills learned in cultural classes to read a novel, mark the interesting paragraphs, highlight meaningful sentences, and even copy them into a notebook separately.
Yi Chen walked out of the bathroom, his wet hair spiked up with his fingers, as though styled with gel.
“Lorrian, I need to talk to you about something.”
Moon Scar didn’t respond immediately; instead, he slowly closed the book after finishing the current page.
“I’ve given it some thought. Since we entered the Orphanage, there haven’t been any specific rules regarding ‘teachers,’ nor has it been explicitly stated that we can’t act against them during class.
The iron chains pulled upward,
The last ten dancers were hoisted dozens of meters into the air for the final aerial performance.
Any dancer whose moves got disordered due to severe pain would be further pulled to the top layer and stored in the plastic model warehouse.
Hanging in the air, only Yi Chen and Moon Scar remained, neither having made a single mistake throughout.
As the piano stopped, applause came from below.
The chains brought the two back to the center of the hall. Lorrian’s plastic-like hands had returned to normal, and even his pupils shone with moonlight when he opened his eyes.
Teacher Fang looked at them with absolute admiration, especially Yi Chen, who hadn’t made a single mistake.
“It’s simply astonishing! You all have a talent for dance… especially you! Have we really never met before? The more I look at you, the more familiar you seem, as if we used to spend every day and night together.”
Unable to contain the urge inside her, she went straight up to and embraced Yi Chen.
Feeling the boy’s body, the familiar touch, Teacher Fang’s inner trembling could not be contained.
“I am the specially appointed art teacher at the Orphanage, and I have the authority to intervene in its operational mechanisms.
If you’re willing, you can stay here tonight. I will personally teach you some artistic things that will make your life in the Orphanage more comfortable and tranquil.
Even if you run into trouble, you can come and find me.”
As she spoke, the fine threads in Teacher Fang’s fingers slipped into Yi Chen’s clothes, moving between his body, touching him while also compelling him to stay.
If Yi Chen rejected the offer, the fine threads might just stab directly into his body.
Yi Chen, with round eyes, innocently asked, “Really? If I don’t go back to sleep, won’t I be held responsible?”
Teacher Fang gently caressed the back of Yi Chen’s head with her hand, “Don’t worry~ I will explain the situation to the higher-ups let your partner go back first. After a short rest, we’ll start exploring deeper levels of art.”
“Thank you, Teacher Fang.”
Yi Chen turned and threw a look at Lorrian, who smiled, nodded, and walked towards the exit.
As he was walking past a Hand Axe that lay scattered on the floor, which he had previously taken a liking to, it was emanating intense heat due to the flame mark on it.
Feigning complete absorption in his dance, Lorrian didn’t see clearly and tripped over the axe,
Teacher Fang wasn’t paying any attention, nor did she care about such behavior, her gaze fixated on Yi Chen, eager for them to be alone together.
“This is a public teaching area, not suited for the two of us to explore art. Let me take you somewhere else.”
Just as Teacher Fang reached out to take the lead, she found that the other party hadn’t moved.
Yi Chen bowed his head slightly, turning his body, his expression unclear, “Just a moment, it’ll be all right shortly…”
“Are you feeling uncomfortable?”
Yi Chen’s right hand by his side flung open, and something flew at high speed from behind him.
Slap! Caught perfectly between his fingers.
Without giving any time to react—Crack!
The flame-licked axe blade chopped directly into Teacher Fang’s skull.
Ahh! A scream echoed like a sound wave,
Yi Chen, on receiving the full brunt of the scream at such a close range, bled from his eyes and ears.
But he didn’t blink, nor did he cover his ears… instead, he stared intently at the ugly woman before him.
The entire Art Hall began to ‘shed its skin’ amidst Teacher Fang’s screams,
