Chapter 8 The Ringleader
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Ye Chen arrived at the agreed coffee shop on time. Yan Xi had been waiting there early and smiled to beckon Ye Chen over when he saw him.
Wearing casual clothes, Ye Chenbi looked even more languid and charming in school. He walked over to Yan Xi's seat and sat down across from her. Looking at Yan Xi who was still wearing a mini skirt that made her look extremely beautiful but also 'freezing' during the autumn-winter season, he couldn't help but sneer coldly in his heart.
"Tell me, what happened to Xiaoyan?" Ye Chen didn't want to chat with her too much and directly got to the point.
"It was like that, the day before yesterday Aunt Tong called and said Xiaoyan wasn't sleeping well, asking me to go to her house to accompany Xiaoyan. I was naturally very worried about Xiaoyan, so I agreed without hesitation. After school, I went to Xiaoyan's house, but there was nothing unusual, just that Xiaoyan's expression was a bit different from usual. I was worried, but Xiaoyan didn't say anything and I didn't know what to do. Until night came, I felt like there were two hands..." Yanxi's words were cut off by Yechen:
"Stop, stop, stop. Can't you skip these irrelevant things and get to the point?" Ye Chen was really helpless, she cared about Xiao Yan, not wanting to hear about Yang Xi's glorious deeds.
Yan Xi smiled awkwardly at Ye Chen and continued:
"In short, that night we encountered a ghost and it almost strangled me to death. Yesterday at the infirmary, I promised Auntie that I would help her find a spiritual master to take a look. This morning, I brought the master to Xiaoyan's house, but who knew...the master actually said..." Yanxi had an expression of wanting to speak but hesitating, and stopped halfway through what she was saying."
"Don't say I didn't warn you." Ye Chen had no intention of accompanying her in this duet.
"Don't go, I'm telling you... Master said that Xiaoyan has a extremely yin body and spirit. Those who get close to her will lightly suffer from poverty and illness all their lives, and severely... severely... will die an untimely death. It really scared me, I don't know what to do." Yan Xi finished speaking and stared at Ye Chen's reaction without blinking.
Ye Chen furrowed his good-looking eyebrows, looking worried to death, completely ignoring the beautiful woman with a thousand charms in front of him, and dialed Xiaoyan's number on his phone.
At this time, Xiaoyan told Tong Xuan that she would go out and clear her mind. She walked aimlessly on the quiet street not far from home, with a gentle breeze blowing up her hair, her eyes slightly closed, and her long eyelashes faintly visible. The sudden vibration of her phone disrupted the silence, and after taking a look, Xiaoyan thought for a moment before tightly pressing the power button, putting it in her pocket, and closing her eyes again. Perhaps, her departure was the best arrangement for everyone.
"Sorry, the user you dialed has powered off." Instead of hearing Xiao Yan's soft and gentle voice on the other end of the phone, it was this damned prompt tone that made Ye Chen curse inwardly. Endless worries filled his mind, to the point where he had already forgotten that Yan Xi was still sitting there motionless in front of him.
Ye Chen dialed the phone again, anxiously walking straight out of the coffee shop, leaving Yan Xi alone to watch his back as he left, stomping her feet in anger, the high heels making a dull sound.
Yan Xi stormed out of the coffee shop after settling the bill, thinking to herself that she had originally thought Ye Chen would be afraid and leave after knowing, but unexpectedly it was herself who underestimated Ye Chen's feelings for Xiao Yan. And didn't expect that in Ye Chen's heart, she was like air, no, non-existent.
Yan Xi sneered, curling up the corners of her mouth to reveal a delicate yet chilling smile. Want to fight? Then she could slowly accompany Xiao Yan and have a good time playing. From young to old, as long as it was something Yan Xi wanted, she would stop at nothing to get it. And now, that included Ye Chen.
She was so focused on her thoughts that she didn't notice the strange eyes staring at her from beside her. Suddenly, a hand reached out from the dark alley to her right and pulled Yanzhi in, Yanzhi was shocked, her eyes only saw endless darkness, just as she was about to shout for help, the person said:
"Shh! Miss Huang, it's me."
"What the...! You scared me to death! What are you doing?! In broad daylight, do you want everyone in the world to know?!" Yan Xi glared at the newcomer and shouted angrily.
"Don't be angry, this... can this money..." The newcomer said with a flattering tone.
"Didn't I say I'd transfer it to you tomorrow? Do you think I wouldn't pay?" Yan Xi glared at him fiercely.
"This, this creditor has come after me today... I have no choice either... Can't you... give me the money first?" The visitor said helplessly. How many people in the world lose their human nature and dignity for the sake of a single word "money".
Yan Xi listened and had no choice but to open her bag, take out her wallet, and throw all the pink bills in it to the person who came, not caring about the amount of money.
"Don't appear in front of me again." She said, turning around and walking out of the alley without looking back, as if she was extremely disgusted, slapping her wrist where he had touched her earlier.
The man counted the banknotes in his hand with satisfaction, and then walked out of the alley, putting the money into the sleeve of his yellow robe. He swaggered away in the opposite direction, leaving behind only a shadow, which was none other than the spirit medium master, dressed in a yellow robe, holding prayer beads, and looking like a Buddhist monk, on his way to Xiaoyan's house.
