Genshin Impact: Teyvat High School

Chapter 95: Uneasy

"Okay, then the competition is considered a complete success. Although there was an accident during the competition, fortunately nothing serious happened. Now I will announce the results of the competition."

The host turned around and took the card from the person next to him, which was just brought by the backstage staff. Then the host read from it.

"First place in the competition, delivery boy number one, Zheping, with a total of 53 five-star positive reviews and 0 negative reviews! Second place, delivery boy number seven, with a total of 47 five-star positive reviews and 1 negative review! Third place..."

"Okay, the rankings of all the candidates have been announced. Congratulations to our number one delivery boy, Zheping! He has successfully advanced! We will meet him next!"

The big screen behind the host lit up again, and Zheping's face appeared on the screen, but it looked like it was scratched by something.

"Zheping, what are your thoughts on this competition, or your acceptance speech? How did you manage to complete 60 orders within an hour?"

the host asked Zheping.

Teppei waved to everyone and then spoke.

"Thank you all for your support. As for why I was able to complete so many orders within an hour, it was mainly because I was familiar with Kanbaru City. I tried to take orders from nearby places, or take orders that were close to each other."

"Then how did you get so many good reviews and no bad ones?"

"I arrive on time, have a sincere attitude, listen attentively to customers' requests, try my best to satisfy them, and try my best to explain if I can't satisfy them. This is probably the secret to my many positive reviews."

"Well... then congratulations to our brother Zheping for successfully advancing to the finals! Now our brother Zheping can return to the scene. I have already announced the rewards for the last, second and third place in the finals before the game started, so I will explain it here!"

The host turned off the big screen, and then it lit up again, but this time it showed the rules and rewards for the qualifying round. However, most people had gone home by this time.

"Okay, our promotion match is a friendly match. We will play in a designated place. Each person can bring three people to play. They can be your family members or your friends. Of course, it is best to prepare a set of independent team uniforms, otherwise you may mistake your friendly forces for the enemy!"

……

Ying said she was very bored and would have left long ago if she hadn't been waiting for Zheping.

Ah~ So boring, so boring, so boring, as boring as Mr. Lishui Dieshan’s class!

"Hey, Sister Ying!"

Zheping suddenly patted Ying from behind, scaring her.

“Wow! How did you suddenly jump out from behind me?!”

"I just arrived not long ago, and Sister Jiang Ying didn't notice me, so I played a trick on me!"

Ying looked at Zheping and noticed the wound on his face.

"What's wrong with the wound on your face? Did someone hit you with a glass bottle?"

"No, no, I accidentally fell while climbing the stairs, and then I got scratched by the broken lens of my camera. It's no big deal!"

Teppei didn't tell Ying what happened on the stairs because he didn't want to make her worry.

In fact, he had no idea why such a strange situation happened. The feeling of being weak all over was very similar to death, but he knew very well that he was not dead, he was still alive.

Maybe I've been overworked these days and my body is overdrawn. It seems I can't stay up late to deliver food anymore, although I haven't felt tired since that day.

Teppei thought.

"Tepei? Teppei?"

Ying's shout pulled Teppei out of his thoughts.

"Ah, what's wrong, Sister Ying?"

"What are you thinking about? Take me home!"

"well!"

Zheping and Ying walked to the electric car together. Ying sat on it without hesitation and waited for Zheping to drive him home.

Just as Zheping took a step forward and prepared to ride his bike, he suddenly thought of what happened on the stairs.

No, what if I suddenly lose my strength again? That would be even more dangerous. No, no, I can't let Ying get hurt because of me.

He was afraid. He was afraid of the unknown, afraid of suddenly becoming powerless. What he feared most was that if he and Ying became powerless again while on the street...what might be waiting for them would be tomorrow's news.

"What's wrong? You've been absent-minded since just now. Is there something on your mind?"

Ying asked while sitting on the electric car.

"Ah, no, how about we walk home?"

Zheping motioned for Ying to get out of the car.

"Ah? Are you kidding me? Walk home? This place is so far from our home! If you want to go, go ahead. I won't go!"

Ying folded her hands and made an angry expression.

The electric bike was shaken by the light, suddenly lost its balance and fell down.

"Eh--"

For a moment, people fell to the ground and the car overturned.

"puff--"

Teppei stood nearby and snickered.

"Hey! What are you laughing at? Help me up! This electric bike is heavy!"

"Oh, okay."

Zheping went forward and lifted up the electric bike first, then went to help Ying up.

"Actually, this car is out of gas, so it can't run!"

Zheping suddenly thought of a reason, but he immediately realized that this reason was very unreasonable.

That’s not right, this is an electric car, it doesn’t need oil!

"Oh, well, we'll just have to go then."

What’s even more outrageous is that Ying actually believed it!

So Zheping pushed the cart and Ying followed behind.

……

"Hey, Sister Ying, did you hear what the host said?"

"say what?"

"I advanced!"

"Oh."

"Hey! Your attitude is too perfunctory! Advancing is something to be happy about!"

"Oh, you're awesome, awesome. Do you want me to give you another award?"

Ying said in a very calm tone.

Ying now only wants to take a bus home because it is too far.

"Uh... never mind..."

Seeing Ying's attitude, Zheping stopped talking and the two of them walked along the road for a while.

……

"Hey, Sister Ying, I heard that the promotion match is for a four-person team. You, me, Feifei, and Chayevich, exactly four people!"

"Ah."

"He also asked us to prepare our own team uniforms. What do you think?"

"what ever."

"The first prize is a Mercedes! Just imagine, Chayevich drives you to school in a Mercedes, how wonderful it is!"

"Wait, why Chayevich?"

Ying discovered the blind spot.

"Well...because among the three of us he's the only one who can drive, and he has a driver's license!"

"All right!"

"Well... the finals are on the 15th, and today is the 12th. Hey! It's the day after my birthday!"

Ying's legs were a little sore from walking.

"Your birthday is September 9th?"

"Yes!"

"Oh."

Then I have to prepare a gift for you.

"..."

Ying didn't know why, but when she recalled the time when she was watching the game and Zheping's line suddenly went black, she always thought of the Forgotten House.

She thought of what Hanasari said to her when she was in the confined room.

[The store manager usually only gives the drink to his doll. For some reason, he never drinks it himself!]

Ying felt very uncomfortable and uneasy.

"Where on earth did that bottle of potion go..."

Ying muttered.

"Ah? Sister Ying, what did you say? There's too much traffic here, I couldn't hear you clearly!"

Teppei put a hand to his ear.

"Nothing! Just go!"

"All right!"

Later, the two men met a tricycle that was going their way, and it took them back to the back street.

"Phew~ Saved a lot of time!"

Ying sighed as she looked at the familiar streets.
