Chapter 106 - 106 Teacher Tu
All the students surged forward!
“Teacher Tu!”
“Teacher Tu!..”
Liao JingJing was frozen in place in fright. She hadn’t meant to hurt anyone. She’d just wanted Tu Dan to stop pulling on her!
Zhang Tianyang jumped into the water quickly, yelling at Liao JingJing, “Have you gone mad, Liao JingJing?! Teacher Tu has been so good to us!”
Liao JingJing bit her lip, feeling ashamed but refusing to admit her mistake, “I didn’t mean to… and besides, the fountain pool isn’t deep…”
No one listened to her excuses.
Everyone was searching for the teacher around the fountain pond. Zhang
Tianyang and a few male students were moving in and out of the water. The more they searched, the more anxious they became, the more dread grew in their hearts!
The water was only knee-deep! Why couldn’t they find Teacher Tu?!
A female student started crying.
When one cried, it set off a wave of red-rimmed eyes among more students.
Chen Hui also jumped into the pond, bending over and using both hands to search in the water, tears dropping down relentlessly, “Teacher Tu!… Where are you, Teacher Tu?!…”
Shen MO stood on the edge of the fountain pond, looked around, and then shook his head silently at Bai Youwei.
He hadn’t seen Tu Dan either.
After Tu Dan fell into the pool, it was as if she had disappeared into thin air.
Bai Youwei silently watched the panicked students in front of her. After pondering a bit, she wheeled herself over to the edge of the fountain pond.
This was a very common fountain pond. The edges were tiled and the base of the pool was filled with cobblestones. The middle featured an ascending tower-like sculpture that would spray water once electricity was connected.
The sculpture was not spraying water at the moment, and the water in the fountain pond has been churned up by the searching students.
Bai Youwei watched for a while and then said, “Everyone, come out. You won’t find Teacher Tu like this.
A few male students stopped to look at her.
Zhang Tianyang and Chen Hui were still searching.
“Even if we can’t find her, we have to keep looking! Teacher Tu is here! I saw her fall in, she can’t just disappear!!!” Chen Hui stared at the water surface, her eyes burning red.
Bai Youwei closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and said, “Everyone, get out! Let the water surface return to calm. Maybe then we’ll find her!”
Chen Hui stopped suddenly, “…Yes, Teacher Tu didn’t fall into the water, she fell into the mirror! That’s why we can’t find her!”
She climbed out of the pool immediately, pulling others out, and shrieked, “Everybody out! Let the water calm down! Everybody out! ” One by one, the students climbed out of the fountain pond.
Water ripples shimmered, light danced upon the water surface, and after everyone held their breath in anticipation… the water finally calmed.
They huddled together and saw their own reflections in the water – reflections that mirrored them as puppets.
Slowly, the figure of Tu Dan started superimposing faintly with their reflections, becoming clearer and clearer.
Zhang Tianyang quickly reached out and pulled Tu Dan out of the water!
With a splash.
The soaking wet Tu Dan was pulled up!
Zhang Tianyang couldn’t help but look at Bai Youwei, his eyes full of unspeakable shock.
She had been right!
But there was no time for questions now. Everyone frantically lifted Tu Dan onto the ground, Tu Dan threw up a few mouthfuls of water, and gradually regained consciousness.
She sat up, seeming a bit confused. Looking around at the students, she asked,
“Why… are you all looking at me?”
The students anxiously asked her, “Teacher Tu, are you okay? Do you feel unwell anywhere?”
Tu Dan stared at them blankly, not saying anything, as if her reactions were slow. After a long time, she finally moved her lips and said, “I’m fine…” Liao JingJing watched from the periphery of the crowd, and she felt ill at ease.
Just now, so many people went into the water to search and yet they couldn’t find her. But as soon as the water surface calmed, she suddenly appeared… She must have been dragged into “that world”. So how could she possibly be okay?
Her eyes darted up and down at Tu Dan, then she suddenly widened her eyes and shouted, “Teacher Tu’s button on her clothes is backward! Just like Lin Zihang, Teacher Tu’s is also backward!”
As soon as her words hit the air, the crowd scattered in an instant!
Everyone retreated in panic, staring in terror at their teacher in front of them, except for Chen Hui and Zhang Tianyang who stayed on either side of Tu Dan.
Chen Hui rose silently, walked up to Liao JingJing, and fixed her gaze on her.
Just as Liao JingJing was feeling puzzled, she saw Chen Hui raise her hand and deliver a fierce slap!
