Recurrence of the Unwanted Chapter 4

Aiden King sat on the bed to clean up, while Ethan Cole was cleaning up downstairs. Neither of them spoke.

Ethan Cole only greeted him when he first came in, and now only Lucas Hayes and Zhang Xi were livening up the atmosphere. Occasionally, when Ethan Cole was asked, he would just lazily say "hmm".

Zhang Xi was a smart man. He quickly stopped sitting facing away and continued discussing math problems with Lucas Hayes.

It was already past midnight when Aiden King finished settling his luggage. He hurried to wash up, and when he came back, the headlights had been turned off.

Ethan Cole's bed was dark, with a long bulge under the quilt. Judging from the peaceful snoring sound, he was probably asleep.

There was an arched railing between the two beds in the Yingzhong dormitory, but there were no fences underneath, so they were completely interconnected. If two guys about 1.8 meters tall stepped towards the intersection, they could easily kick over.

Out of respect, and since the other party had considerately placed his head over here, Aiden King hesitated and also moved his pillow over.

Head to head, the pillows were quietly put together under the railing. Aiden King was stunned for two seconds, then forbearingly pulled the pillows back.

There were two funny videos Gao Qiang forwarded on his phone. There was also a text message from Oliver Blake asking about his father's situation. Oliver Blake was studying for a doctorate in AI at Gongda, and he was six years older than him, so they were like-minded friends.

Aiden King replied casually: I have moved into the new school. I will make time to go to the hospital tomorrow and send Xiaoxie over to keep him company.

Oliver Blake: How is the voice module I made for Xiaoxie working with it?

Aiden King: Tear it down, he’s an idiot.

Oliver Blake:...Well, okay, putting a sticker on it is enough to entertain my uncle.

A noisy and ridiculous day ends, and a brand new senior year of high school begins.

Aiden King closed his eyes and fell asleep soon.

After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly opened his eyes again. There was a rustling sound under the bed, but the breathing sound above his head disappeared.

He calmly leaned over the bed and looked down.

Ethan Cole was downstairs, without turning on the lights or even his cell phone. After rummaging in the cabinet for a while, he walked out quietly.

What was shocking was that he was holding a bundle of ropes in his hand.

With the light from the corridor coming through the glass on the door, Aiden King saw that it was a bundle of nylon ropes. Tough and strong, this is what you need for survival in the wild.

This guy......

Are you going to go out and bully your classmates in the middle of the night?

The door opened and closed silently. Aiden King froze for a moment, then slowly turned toward the wall and closed his eyes again.

Three minutes later, he sat up again, upset.

......

......

The late summer nights in Yingzhong are not peaceful.

There were several people sitting on the small playground behind the dormitory building, men and women leaning together, and there were wine bottles standing or upside down on the ground.

Those who received the notification letters were being pretentious and reluctant.

Aiden King denied that direction after just one look, and turned to walk towards the other side of the dark and silent campus.

He was not familiar with the new school, and after walking aimlessly in the direction of the bright street lights for a while, he unexpectedly arrived at the building where his classmate Connor Reeves jumped off the rooftop, which was the administrative building of Yingzhong.

There was a sound in the hall, an unpleasant humming sound.

Aiden King walked lightly and quickly in that direction. He reached the top of the building, stopped against the wall, and then looked inside.

It’s Ethan Cole and Yimianqi.

A 1.7-meter-tall man was tied up with red and green nylon ropes, and his hands were tied tightly behind his back in a tortoise shell bind, making him look like a turtle.

Aiden King’s eyes widened.

"The more you struggle, the tighter it gets." Ethan Cole squatted beside the 1.7-meter-tall man and smiled kindly, "Where's the money for tonight?"

"I'll transfer it to you!" The 1.7-meter-tall man groaned in pain, and it seemed that being tied up was very uncomfortable.

Ethan Cole paused, as if marveling at the other party's rudeness, "Isn't the twenty yuan you transferred to me the payment for hiring me as your younger brother? I'm asking about the money you received."

Aiden King was shocked by such a big ambition. Smiling Tiger Beggar Gang's younger brother swallowed the meal that the boss wanted. It was wonderful.

The 1.70-meter-tall man was also obviously stunned. It took him a while to react. He struggled and spat on the ground, "Where did you come from, you jerk? How dare you play this trick on me!"

"Hand over the protection fee." Ethan Cole yawned, as if he didn't feel the other party's anger, "Hurry up, I'm sleepy."

1.7 meters: "......"

He was about to pull out his backer to threaten him, but Ethan Cole, who was squatting in front of him, suddenly turned his head and looked towards the door.

When that sharp and deep gaze came over, Aiden King instantly retracted his body, holding his breath and staring into the darkness.

Nothing happened, but the 1.70-meter-tall man tied to the ground gasped in fear.

------The moment Ethan Cole turned around, he saw through the man's open collar that there was a five or six centimeter long scar on the lower right side of his neck. The scar was in the shape of a tiny tear, not like someone had stabbed him on the back of his neck, but rather like someone had held him there and cut him down little by little with a knife. Judging from the color, it was already old.

Ethan Cole turned around again, and the 1.7-meter-tall man had changed his attitude and quickly raised his B*tt. "It's in my pocket, brother. I'll give it to you. The meal card is also here. I have some money to transfer this afternoon, I'll transfer it to you right away."

Ethan Cole snorted and laughed, then he felt around and took out the money and cards, then asked casually, "Did you move the money on the meal card?"

"I haven't touched it yet. I'm not from this school, so it's useless for me to have this card. I was planning to give it to you at a lower price. This school meal card is not named."

Ethan Cole hummed, "Who did you rob today?"

"His name is Liam Bennett. Didn't he say that he is a repeater?"

Ethan Cole said, "I didn't listen carefully at that time. I just admired your pretense."

1.7 meters: "......"

Ethan Cole untied Yimiqi and forced him to transfer the money, then he roughly pointed out, "Not bad. By the way, Boss, I have another favor to ask of you."

The 1.7-meter-tall girl had tears in her eyes. "Please go ahead."

"I heard that the north of Yingzhong is in chaos. There are several groups of heroes like you, boss. They are friendly with each other and each has its own power."

Ethan Cole paused and said sincerely, "I'm new to this school and I'm short of money. I'm sincerely applying for a long-term job. Please let me know in the friendship group of you bosses and recommend me to other bosses to help me get some work."

Aiden King, who was outside the door, had to admit that he was amazed by this man's operation.

1.7m: "......Do you still want to cheat others?"

Ethan Cole made a thoughtful sound, thought for a moment and then said, "Just promote me. I'm good at what I do, and I don't talk too much. I only charge twenty dollars a time."

1.7 meters: "......"

Aiden King: "......"

"Thank you, Boss." Ethan Cole untied the 1.7-meter-tall man with a smile, "Good night, Boss, go home now."

The 1.7-meter-tall man rolled and crawled out of the door like a gust of wind. His arm brushed Aiden King's clothes as he ran out of the door, but he was completely unaware of it. He was obviously scared like a single-celled organism.

Aiden King looked at the figure riding away in the darkness and fell into the confused state outside the west gate at night again.

There seemed to be no movement in the building. Ethan Cole did not come out either.

Aiden King came back to his senses and looked inside again in confusion------

Nylon ropes were piled casually at his feet. The smiling tiger Ethan Cole, who had been so majestic just now, was squatting next to a huge potted plant in the lobby of the administrative building, holding a baked sugar cookie in both hands and biting it greedily.

He ate a 2-cent sugar cake like a glutton. The syrup flowed down to his palm. He took a bite of the cake and then lowered his head to suck on it. He didn't swallow it, but just lowered his head to continue biting the cake. In his heart, eyes, mind, and the world, there was only this cake.

No------Where did you take the cake from?

Aiden King was in a state of shock and confusion, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

He turned his back and was confused for a while, then looked back and saw Ethan Cole choking. The embarrassed boy didn't let go of the two remaining bites of biscuits with his hands, wiped the corners of his mouth with his wrist, then raised his head and chewed frantically, his bulging cheeks moving back and forth, but suddenly stopped.

The huge, empty administrative building fell completely silent at that moment.

The guy with his head tilted back and his cheeks puffed out, his eyes looking at the ceiling suddenly became empty and fixed, as if all his strength was suddenly drained away.

Aiden King suspected that he had seen it wrong. He rubbed his eyes and looked over again, but Ethan Cole had already lowered his head and continued to swallow big gulps, but his movements became extremely slow until he stuffed the rest of the cake into his mouth.

He swallowed twice, his Adam's apple moving, and then he let out a long breath, expressionless and blank for a while.

Unexpectedly, a few seconds later, a stomach growl was heard in the lobby of the administrative building. Ethan Cole covered his mouth sadly and turned to look at the potted plant squatting next to him.

"what to do?"

Aiden King was silent.

The potted plant didn't say anything either.

Ethan Cole sighed, "Handsome Chenchen is not full, can you tell him the names of some dishes?"

Aiden King: "?"

The show isn't over yet?

It's not over yet. Ethan Cole squatted and took a step to the side, standing in front of the potted plant, and cleared his throat, "Handsome Chenchen, listen carefully------steamed lamb! Steamed bear paws! Steamed deer tails~roasted duck, roasted chicken, roasted goose! Braised salted duck! Braised chicken and bacon! Pine flower tripe! Dry meat, sausages, assorted Su dishes..."

Call the police.

A great collection of confusing human behavior.

Aiden King realized that he couldn't stay any longer, so he turned around and left silently, with a lot of questions in his mind.

The street lights were bright here, casting his shadow on the ground. After he took two steps, he suddenly felt something was wrong and turned back abruptly.

A dark shadow seemed to pass by on the rooftop of the administrative building.

The shadow was swaying on the edge of the rooftop. Aiden King instantly thought that it was his classmate Connor Reeves and was upset again. Then he suddenly felt that it was Ethan Cole.

But Connor Reeves should be under strict surveillance by his parents, and Ethan Cole... unless he can run at the speed of sound, it is impossible for him to reach the rooftop instantly.

Aiden King calmed himself down and looked up again. The shadow had disappeared. Everything was silent and empty.

Maybe it's an illusion.

......

I jogged quickly, climbed through the window and returned to the dormitory building. I opened the door and the only sound in the darkness was Zhang Xihe's loud breathing.

Aiden King quickly climbed onto the bed and lay down. Less than two minutes later, the door was gently pushed open again. Ethan Cole, like a decent man with a normal mind, came in quietly and took the toothbrush out. After a few minutes, he came back and climbed up the ladder.

Aiden King judged that he had not been discovered based on his quiet movements, and he closed his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Ethan Cole suddenly stopped halfway up the ladder and stood on it, frozen in place.

The face was almost right next to Aiden King's pillow, and his breathing could be heard clearly.

In the darkness, Aiden King heard the sound of his hair standing on end.

Look at you!

Is it a human or a ghost?

Call the police!

A full century had passed, and Aiden King could hardly bear it anymore. He planned to open his eyes and glare at him, or at most name a dish together.

However, Ethan Cole, who seemed to be fixed on the ladder, finally moved.

His movements were no longer so cautious. He supported himself on the railing with one hand and slammed his body into the bed, almost lifting up the other side of the bed.

Aiden King closed his eyes: "......"

You. Grandpa.

A few seconds later, a slight breeze blew across my face, as if a feather had fallen on the pillow, and the edge brushed the earring, which felt a little itchy.

It's facial tissue, with a light scent.

"Wipe your sweat." Ethan Cole chuckled in the dark.

The author has something to say: People who are typing on the keyboard, turn your head over, why is there a white mark on your back shell?

The egg answered loudly: There was once a big knife hanging on my eggshell, but I was strong and did not give in.

The person typing on the keyboard touched the eggshell, and then what happened?

The cool guy snapped his fingers, and later he became a very cool guy.
