“Who are you?” Teacher Sheng spoke tremblingly, his voice soft and slow, afraid that he might scare the other party away.

His shoulder was touched again, and from the corner of his eyes, Teacher Sheng saw an ugly, withered hand.

“Don’t look back!” A sharp voice snapped through the air, a sound as sharp and piercing as a stone slicing against a thick iron plate.

The other party no longer had the beautiful body and ethereal, translucent voice he once had, and Teacher Sheng hesitated, tentatively speaking again, “You’re Xiao Jing, aren’t you?”

Xiao Jing looked at Teacher Sheng in front of him and felt surreal for a moment.

He didn’t answer Teacher Sheng’s question; he just said, in a hard and helpless tone, “You want to avenge Xiao Jing, but he doesn’t hate you, it wasn’t your fault in the first place. Are you a pig? Why take it upon yourself to get revenge?”

“It’s enough for Xiao Jing to be unlucky alone, why give yourself trouble?”

“Anyway, Xiao Jing liked you so much, don’t give yourself trouble, hurry up and get out of here.”

Xiao Jing scolded Teacher Sheng one sentence at a time, and Teacher Sheng sat obediently, his face growing more and more agitated in the darkness.

“Did you hear me clearly?” Xiao Jing angrily poked Teacher Sheng’s shoulder and asked, “Why don’t you say a single word?”

A hand suddenly grabbed Xiao Jing’s hand, and the man abruptly turned back, his eyes hidden in the darkness blazing as he stared at the red-clothed man in front of him.

The ugly body and features that the red-clothed man had been trying to hide were immediately reflected in Teacher Sheng’s eyes.

Xiao Jing froze for a moment, then he suddenly panicked and covered his face, pulling his hand away from Teacher Sheng while doing so.

Instead, his body was suddenly embraced in the next second, the other party clearly didn’t care about the ugly appearance or the blood-stained body.

He held Xiang Jing tightly in his arms, as if his whole life depended on this.

“I…you!” The struggling arms dropped helplessly. Xiao Jing hesitated for a few seconds before hugging Teacher Sheng with his backhand.

The two did not say another word, nor did they need to say anything more.

The moonlight from outside the window spilled, shining on the two of them.

Under the wash of moonlight, the wretched-looking, blood-stained Xiao Jing leaned his head on Teacher Sheng’s shoulder, his expression one of unprecedented peace.

In a trance, Bai Lixin seemed to see Xiao Jing’s previous appearance.

In the bright sunshine, two teenagers in clean white shirts sat shoulder to shoulder on the rooftop.

The wind blew up and swept up one of the teenagers’ long hair.

Everything was so beautiful.

Su Fan put his head on Bai Lixin’s shoulder from behind and spoke somewhat begrudgingly, “I want a hug too, we’ve been together longer than them, right?”

Bai Lixin rolled his eyes and said, “Have we known each other for a long time? Do you even remember?”

Su Fan’s head on Bai Lixin’s shoulder gave a slight pause, and his voice became more and more aggrieved. “That is the system’s plot; I will destroy it and give it to you to have fun with.”

“Although I lost my memory, I’ve still been there whenever it mattered and helped you a lot.”

But given what his fragments did in the very first copies, the main Dijia wanted to find a noodle to hang himself with.

He wouldn’t blame his wife for running away!

The two people in the room had stopped hugging, and Xiao Jing beckoned Bai Lixin excitedly.

Seeing this, Bai Lixin pushed the balcony door open and walked in, asking, “Have you finished talking?”

Xiao Jing shrugged his shoulders and nodded, “Well, I’m determined to follow Sheng’er from today onwards and stay with him until he’s old.”

After a pause, his face reddened a little, “I’m just afraid that he won’t open up, so I have to keep an eye on him.”

Teacher Sheng’s expression was also a little embarrassed, his face was even redder than Xiao Jing’s, and he whispered, “Then, thank you.”

“I really didn’t understand when you said you knew Xiao Jing; I disturbed you guys.”

The pure white moonlight brought a glimmer of light into the room, Bai Lixin looked at the pen case in Teacher Sheng’s hand and asked, “So, have I given this gift away?”

Xiao Jing and Teacher Sheng looked at each other and spoke in unison, “Yes, yes.”

[Ding!]

[Congratulations player! You have completed the task [Help Xiao Jing deliver the gift] and will be rewarded with 4000 bonus mall points.]

Bai Lixin flipped through the taskbar; he had finally completed the last task.

The [secret of the fire] had been seen in Chairman Huang’s basement, and the [help find the brooch] task had been completed last night. He returned the brooch to the girl after a trip to the laboratory building before the exams ended and classes were divided.

Bai Lixin then opened his backpack and took out the pouch from inside, taking out a tie from the small bag, saying, “This should be Xiao Jing’s stuff; I’ll return it to you guys.”

Xiao Jing stared at the tie for two seconds and stretched out a trembling hand to take it, “Thank you, I thought I’d never find this tie again, but you got it for me.”

“I didn’t realize that after all these years, that pervert still had my tie. Disgusting!”

Teacher Sheng patted Xiao Jing’s shoulder comfortingly as Bai Lixin slowly sat down and said, “There are more than fifty items like that.”

Xiao Jing: “More than fifty? That sick lunatic!”

Teacher Sheng’s face darkened as he said, “His position is too high, and he’s very good at disguising himself.”

Xiao Jing nodded and said, “Yes, that’s how he was in my year.”

“I was sent to be punished because of a “mental disorder,” the other teachers would either beat or scold me, their mouths full of insults. That day, when my class teacher called me into the small, dark room to educate me as usual, that pervert suddenly appeared.”

“He was full of kindness; he “saved” the frightened me and took me to his office.”

“He tricked me into drinking some drug and filmed me while I was unconscious.”

“Afterwards, he threatened me, he said he’d release the video to the public and accuse me of seducing him, saying things like ‘you should know our identities and who people will believe’.”

“I compromised for a long time, but I couldn’t take the torture anymore and chose the stupidest way to escape reality.”

“If I had been more mature, if I am given another chance, I wouldn’t choose to be such a wimp.”

“Even a mouse has a chance to defy an elephant, if I had been able to speak out on his evil acts, there wouldn’t have been so many more victims after me.”

“I wish I could have been a little braver.”

Teacher Sheng patted Xiao Jing’s shoulder in comfort, then pulled out a key from his pocket and gave it to Bai Lixin: “This is the key to the place where that pervert Huang Xiaolian is temporarily living, I made a secret copy.”

Bai Lixin took the key and asked, “Where does he live now?”

Teacher Sheng: “He’s still in the office building, he moved to the fifth floor. Coincidentally, the room is 501, and I’m the one who helped him move.”

“Always he thinks all the tapes were burned, he will get revenge if he ever finds out you took them.”

“Be careful.” Teacher Sheng paused, saying, “And, once again, thank you for helping get Xiao Jing tapes back. Huang Xiaolin hid those things deeply, and he seldom sets foot out of his place. I got close to him because I wanted to find and destroy Xiao Jing’s tapes and make a decent getaway.”

Xiao Jing: “Huh, how did you know I was videotaped?”

Teacher Sheng: “Aren’t you the pig? Don’t you know that you talk in your sleep? I overheard it once, and then I was afraid that you would talk in your sleep again and our roommates would hear it. I was so scared that I wouldn’t sleep at night. I’d keep an eye on you all night long. As soon as you made a hint of talking in your sleep, I’d you poke awake.”

Xiao Jing recalled, “Oh, no wonder you slept during the day for that period of time, it turned out that you didn’t sleep at night.”

“I thought you were a pig, ahem, sorry about that.”

Teacher Sheng glared at Xiao Jing: “You’re the one who’s a pig!”

Su Fan grabbed the key from Bai Lixin’s hand and tossed it onto the table next to him, giving an impatient eviction, “Hey, what time is it? It’s eleven o’clock at night! When are you letting us sleep? Go back to your place and flirt with each other, hurry up and leave.”

It was only then that Teacher Sheng realized that it was getting late, so he nodded meaningfully and left with the pen case and Xiao Jing.

After finally sending the two away, Su Fan slammed the door shut, walked step by step to the bed, pulled the curtain open under Bai Lixin’s scrutinizing gaze, and slowly laid down on the bed with… the three sets of school uniforms?

“…” Bai Lixin, “isn’t that my bed?”

Su Fan: “It’s yours, but I drank water in the dark and I accidentally spilled it on my bed, you wouldn’t be cruel enough to let me sleep on a wet bed, right?”

Bai Lixin: “????”

Black question mark face.jpg.

Su Fan yawned and lay on his side with one cheek propped up with one hand, patting the space beside him, “We only have five hours of adequate sleep; hurry up and come to bed.”

Bai Lixin: “…”

To tell the truth, I want that sufficient sleep too.

He pointed to Su Fan’s bed and said, “Bring your quilt, we don’t need to share.”

Su Fan: “Oh, even the quilt is wet, I was really too careless.”

Bai Lixin pursed his lips and looked down at the coquettish Dijia: “Aren’t there spare quilts?”

Su Fan’s tone was lighter, “Those two quilts, ah, they fell on the floor yesterday, so I sent them to be washed, they haven’t been sent back yet.”

‘Don’t struggle; I blocked all the roads early on, come quickly, little wife.’

Bai Lixin: “……”

I’ll kill this bastard!

A smile of triumph appeared in Su Fan’s eyes as he adjusted his posture and lazily leaned back on the soft quilt, looking at Bai Lixin expectantly.

Just as Bai Lixin was one step away from the bed, there was another well-timed knock on the glass.

Knock, knock, knock! one after another.

This was not a knock on glass, this was hammering nails into Su Fan’s heart.

Su Fan: “……”

Aren’t we done with everything?

What bastard is it this time?

“Master Bai Lixin, it’s me, Fearful.” A timid cry came from outside the balcony: “Are you in there? Master Bai Lixin?”

Bai Lixin gave Su Fan a meaningful smile and turned to the drawn curtains.

The curtains were made of heavy material, perfectly blocking out the light from outside. Even after walking up to the glass doors, Bai Lixin could not see the scene outside through them.

Under Su Fan’s irritated gaze, Bai Lixin’s hand grabbed the curtain, and the moment the curtain was pulled open, Bai Lixin took a deep breath.

Strange ghosts, big and small, crowded the balcony, and standing in the forefront was Fearful, whose body was almost squeezed out of shape. His hand was quickly whacking the door, but his face and body showed one thing: fear.

His face was pale, and his eyes were almost rolled up to the sky. Next to him was the blurred face of the dancing ghost girl that kept him from passing out.

Bai Lixin: “…”

‘No wonder Fearful hadn’t yet fainted, yet his voice sounded like he was on the verge of crying, it’s all thanks to the ghost girl, ah.’
