Chapter 346: Chapter 346: Who is the Outsider?
The messages were sent to her by Jiang Baocu, the class monitor, and Yan Jinzhi.
The content was all quite similar.
"Are we still meeting tonight? Same restaurant as last night, be home by eleven sharp, no staying up late."
Sheng Tang: "...."
They were really addicted. Instead of catching up on sleep, they still wanted to meet up tonight and continue playing the werewolf game.
Sheng Tang didn’t have that kind of energy, plus she had her own things to do during the winter break.
If she remembered correctly, Gu Shiting was going to look for her today.
She declined them one by one.
Their class group chat had over a thousand messages. Sheng Tang was worried she might miss a notification from the homeroom teacher, so she checked it out.
As it turned out....
They were fervently discussing the werewolf game.
"Those who didn’t go really missed out. We discovered a fun game and played all night!"
Some students misunderstood: "What game? Let’s play together tonight, I won’t be going out."
"It’s not an online game, it’s a board game."
"What’s fun about board games?" That student was very disappointed.
That comment sparked a wave of responses from everyone.
Those who had played were exclaiming about how fun and interesting it was.
"What’s fun about board games? If you had played the werewolf game, you wouldn’t be saying that."
"Yeah, I didn’t sleep all night. I’m still excited, not feeling sleepy at all. I won four rounds as the wolf."
"Shameless! You always got away with it. But Shi Ping had it rough. He got the wolf card too many times, and when he finally got the cop card, he was killed first every time."
Shi Ping, a lively boy, hadn’t slept either and cursed at his classmates in the group chat.
Everyone was chatting excitedly.
So they suggested meeting up again tonight.
However, quite a few classmates had other plans and couldn’t join.
Those who agreed to join reported their participation.
Sheng Tang glanced over and found that they had actually arranged for 19 people!
"That’s impressive," Sheng Tang thought.
Meanwhile, Feng Yijin was also checking the group chat.
She had just woken up after catching up on sleep, still lying in bed and watching everyone chat excitedly.
Someone knocked on the door.
It was her stepmother who came in, smiling and holding breakfast: "Have some first. Later we’ll go out for lunch. Your dad’s coming back today."
Feng Yijin agreed.
Her stepmother then asked, "Was last night fun?"
"It was." Feng Yijin replied.
Then, she started telling her stepmother about the werewolf game they played last night.
She had never had so much fun before.
Her stepmother was a bit shocked: "Killing?"
"Sounds scary, but it’s a game of cops and robbers, really fun," Feng Yijin explained.
She was very excited, talking about the rules of the game, saying how it was created by her classmates. The more she talked, the more excited she got, continuing on her own.
Suddenly, she noticed a flash of impatience on her stepmother’s face.
Feng Yijin was a bit stunned.
She always acted cool, barely talking to anyone at home, and had never really opened her heart to her stepmother.
Her stepmother was actually quite nice, always accommodating her and her brother, sometimes they treated her like a housemaid.
The housemaids always said to her and her brother, and even to her father, "Madam is the best, she cares the most about Miss and Young Master."
"There is no one in this world who loves Miss and Young Master more than Madam."
Even her stepmother herself said, "You are all my own children."
But Feng Yijin had never paid attention to her stepmother’s expressions.
Feng Yijin always thought her stepmother loved her and her brother dearly.
Children loved by adults often become spoiled. Feng Yijin rarely paid attention to her stepmother’s joys and sorrows.
Today, she suddenly realized that her stepmother spoke just a few more sentences to her and already seemed impatient.
Feng Yijin felt a jolt in her heart.
She suddenly remembered some things her aunt had said.
Her aunt said, "You need to be careful, be wary of your stepmother. She acts one way in front of others and another behind their backs. Your dad trusts her a lot, don’t fall for her tricks."
Feng Yijin thought it was very harsh.
After that, she gradually distanced herself from her aunt and even told her stepmother about it.
Her stepmother laughed and said, "After all, your aunt is an outsider, she’s not your real aunt. How could she truly care about you? Don’t be sad, you have me."
At that moment, a thought that had never occurred to Feng Yijin popped into her mind: "In my life, who is the real outsider?"
