Chapter 28: Jade and Stone Flowing Together

  He wiped the blood off with a tissue, and on his pale finger, where was the wound? He put the tissue in his pocket and walked out slowly. He was still thinking about one thing, just now when the situation was critical, he took off Ji Suyan's glasses and saw her eyes. What kind of eyes were those! He couldn't describe them! In that instant, he almost lost control of his heart! If he hadn't reacted immediately and hastily recited a clearing spell in his mind, he would have lost his wits first and wouldn't have been able to save Ji Suyan in time! No matter what, those eyes absolutely wouldn't be something a normal person would have, not any kind of heterochromia he had ever seen or even heard of!

  Moreover, how could he have been born into such an ordinary family like Ji Su's? This is really strange! With his head bowed in thought, Qi Xiu didn't notice that after he walked away, a man wearing black casual clothes emerged from the shadows of another tree.

  The man watched as Qi Xiu gradually walked into the night, his dark eyes obscure and unclear. He turned around and walked into the underground room, the man's footsteps were leisurely, completely out of place with the quiet and eerie environment around him! It was as if he knew the location, the man directly walked through the second door, straight to the elevator door and stopped in front of it, raised his hand, but before he even touched the metal wall, a dark red grid blocked him from outside, a five-pointed star array rotating vaguely.

  The man let out a snort of laughter: "Hah ~ Zhang's kid is actually quite capable! It's just that he lacks experience, too tender!" Without touching the elevator again, the man looked around and raised his head to gaze at the ceiling.

  Generally, the walls of an underground room are just ordinary concrete, but this one has a ceiling. Walking slowly towards the south-facing wall, I raised my flashlight and shone it on each section. Finally, under the light, the third section of the ceiling had some unusual patterns, which would be easily mistaken for insufficient lighting if not looked at carefully.

  He walked to the spot on the floor directly under the ceiling, and crouched down to tap gently on the brick. On the second tap, the sound was slightly different. The man curled up his lip in a smile, found it! He took out a Swiss Army knife and carefully drew along the seam all around.

  Then slowly get up, gently take out the things inside. Slowly uncover the oil paper, and then open the red satin, inside is a finely carved purple sandalwood box, with four sides carved with flowers, birds, auspicious beasts, very delicate and beautiful.

  Undo the buckle, open the box, and a soft satin quietly lies an amber-colored oval jade stone. The jade is hollow, with a red string passing through it, hanging down a long flowing tassel. The red string is extremely bright red, as if no matter how many years have passed, it cannot be worn out! A slender white hand slowly reaches out, gently stroking the jade's tassel with a somewhat nostalgic touch, slightly trembling.

  Carefully pick up the jade, put it away, close the sandalwood box, and put it back in its original place. Gently close the floor tile. Stand up, adjust your clothes, lift your head with a satisfied smile, turn around and walk out slowly.

  Zixiu put down the arm that covered his eyes, sat up and rubbed his face fiercely. Ji Su still came to find him, it seemed he had thought of something, not too unexpected, but he didn't know how much, even if he did, he couldn't say it easily.

  No matter what, for now he can only wait and see, but before that, he must first deal with one thing that is making him increasingly vexed...

  Friday morning was a full class, in the public class, the teacher usually doesn't take attendance, but this time it took a whole one and a half classes to do so. The other half of the class was spent on the teacher's self-introduction. A University has its own characteristics, most teachers are quite individualistic, with some unique ideas and opinions, which can cater to many modern university students' tastes, showing off themselves. However, Ji Su didn't adapt well to this, sometimes even disliked it, as some people would sharply criticize others to elevate themselves, which is not a manifestation of freedom of speech at all, but rather has the opposite effect!

  Two dormitories were together again, Huang Xiaoyu was still blaming Nie Yuan for what happened last night. Nie Yuan was too shameless, half-jokingly: "Hehe! Your guts are just too small, usually lack of exercise, these guts! Practice and they will get bigger! Otherwise, let's find a place to practice?"

  As soon as the voice fell, several people stared at the same time. The girls either clapped their hands or pinched a handful of soft flesh, while the boys directly used their fists. Nie Yuan let out a muffled hum, desperately holding back his wails, and it took him a long time to lift his head up, pointing at several people with a trembling hand: "You... you... murder! Not like this! I was just joking! He Huo! Even you are treating me like this, I'm so disappointed in you, you're not human!"

  Tian Haiqing couldn't stand Nie Yuan's pitiful face, so he smashed a walnut on his head with a loud "Bam!", which was quite painful just to hear.

  "You still dare to speak! From now on, no joking around is allowed! Anyone who does will be killed without pardon!" Huang Xiaoyu laid down the harsh words, and several people nodded in agreement. Nie Yuan was speechless and tears flowed. The group then pounced on Nie Yuan again, insisting that he treat them to dinner as a form of apology for scaring the girls. Nie Yuan wailed, but no one paid attention to him.

  Nie Yuan's family is actually quite well-off, I saw his dad driving a Mercedes to pick him up for dinner last time, several people saw it and took the opportunity to ask him to treat them, Nie Yuan was also very generous, almost every time he would agree. This time he didn't take the initiative, how could the others easily let go of the chance to take advantage of him?

  Listening to the commotion beside her, Ji Su's mind was elsewhere and she didn't respond much. Her gaze involuntarily drifted towards the front row corner, where Qi Xiu wasn't in class, and she felt a slight sense of loss, perhaps it was just an ordinary truancy.

  Nie Yuan looked at Ji Suoyun who didn't make a sound, and walked over to ask: "Hey! Ji's wife! Why don't you have any spirit?" Ji Suoyun turned around blankly, looking at Nie Yuan's gloomy face, and before she could speak, Huang Xiaoyu interrupted: "Need I say more? It must be yesterday's thing that scared Suoyun! It's all your fault! Now you have to take responsibility for Suoyun!" Ji Suoyun helplessly turned her head towards Huang Xiaoyu, this was really...

  Nie Yuan burst out laughing: "That young man is indeed more obedient than respectful! Wife, let's go to the bridal chamber with me! It can be said that 'one spring night...' Hmm... Cough cough..." Ji Su Yin punched Nie Yuan in the chest, this guy even started singing again! He's simply a disaster!

  Huang Xiaoyu immediately cheered in a low voice! If it weren't for the old man sitting in front, I'm afraid she would have applauded enthusiastically. Nie Yuan was unhappy and the two continued to bicker. Ji Suyan looked towards the front row, seemingly lost in thought. Ji Huali followed her gaze and saw the empty seat, slightly furrowing her brow.

  The third and fourth periods were originally the class director's management class, but the class director went abroad for further study. The school assigned another teacher to take over. The new teacher, surnamed Fu, was a slender and delicate young female teacher. After the routine self-introduction, Teacher Fu began taking roll call. When she called out "Qi Xiuyi", Ji Suyan couldn't help but look up. The class monitor immediately stood up to explain that Qi Xiuyi had asked for leave again.

  Gradually suppressing the sense of loss in her heart, Ji Su Yun suddenly thought that Qi Xiu didn't want to see her. The next moment, she quickly shook her head in denial, this was completely unreasonable, there was no reason for it. Dazed and confused, she got through the morning classes, skipped lunch, and Ji Su Yun directly returned to her dormitory, lying on her bed staring at the ceiling tiles. Her mind had a moment of emptiness, not knowing what she was thinking about. "Creak..." A sound came from the door, the yellow wooden door slowly opened.
