Chapter 26: Midnight Adventure (3)

  When Qi Su was carried out by Zixiu after fainting, the few people waiting outside all had a look of surprise on their faces. As soon as Nie Yuan and the others walked out the door, they saw Huang Xiaoyu and He Hu talking about something. When Huang Xiaoyu saw them, she hesitated for a moment, "Su was with you guys, wasn't he?" Nie Yuan subconsciously opened his mouth: "Wasn't he... behind us?"

  Several people looked back, only to find that there was no Ji Su, and at this moment, several people realized that something was wrong. Just as a few boys were about to go in to look for someone, they heard a cold shout: "What are you doing here?" Upon hearing the sound, Nie Yuan and others immediately let out a sigh of relief, almost thinking that they had been caught by the patrolling teacher and would have to be punished! At first glance, it turned out to be Qi Xiu.

  Qizheng looked at several people with a serious face, and although he was their senior, Nie Yuan and the others were intimidated by Qizheng's aura and couldn't speak for half a day. It was Tian Haicheng who reacted first: "This matter can be discussed later! We need to find someone first!"

  Qizhao blocked the doorway, Tian Haicheng and others were stunned again, Nie Yuan's eyebrows raised, just about to get into trouble. Just then, Qizhao coldly said: "I'll go! You all wait outside! It's best not to come in!" After speaking, he didn't care about the several people standing there, turned around and walked in.

  Nie Yuan and others looked at each other in dismay, thinking that this kid didn't seem like the type to be so eager to help. Ji Huali, who was standing behind them, bit her lip in frustration as she stared at the door. After about five minutes, Nie Yuan and the others couldn't hold back any longer and were about to rush in when Qi Xiu walked out slowly, carrying someone in his arms.

  Qizhao glanced at a few people, walked to Tian Haicheng's front, and handed Ji Suyin into his arms. Tian Haicheng subconsciously caught her. After adjusting his clothes, Qizhao coldly said to the silent crowd staring at him: "It's best not to come to these places again! Rumors are not necessarily unbelievable!" After finishing speaking, he turned and disappeared into the night. Nie Yuan came back to his senses, very disdainfully snorted, and several girls hurried over to check on Ji Suyin's situation.

  Tian Haiqing carried Ji Suyan to the wooden chair on the other side of the mountain road, and Nie Yuan came up and pinched Ji Suyan's people in the middle. Ji Suyan gradually woke up, slapped away Nie Yuan's hand that was still pinching hard, and leaned against Huang Xiaoyu's shoulder with Yan Fen'er's support.

  Rubbing her temples, Ji Su's voice was hoarse as she asked: "Did Qi Xiu come by just now?" Huang Xiao Yu quickly nodded: "Yes! It was Qi Xiu who carried you out! Su Yin, you were inside... did you see something? Why did you faint?" On the side, Ji Hua Li heard this and pinched her clothes corner tightly.

  Ji Su-yin was stunned for a moment, recalling everything that had just happened. If it weren't for Qi Xiu's amulet and his timely rescue, she would have definitely been unable to escape! Just thinking about it made her feel frightened! Not wanting to say more, Ji Su-yin faced the inquiring and worried expressions of the crowd, simply shaking her head, not wanting to speak. She could only dryly utter: "Nothing! It's just... don't come to this kind of place again! Maybe... there really is something!"

  Ji Su's pale face, and the similar words to Qi Xiu, made everyone stunned, looking at each other in dismay, seeing the fearful expression on each other's faces. The silent silence conveyed fear and dread! Nie Yuan finally laughed dryly: "Haha! This place is not a place to linger! People in the world are drifting, who can avoid being stabbed? It's better to believe it exists than not! We'll definitely learn from this experience and lesson, come on! It's getting late, let's all go back to our dorms, wash up and sleep! Ah!"

  Huang Xiaoyu glared at Nie Yuan fiercely: "You're just a wallflower, blowing with the wind! Didn't you say your mom had your fortune told before? Even ghosts would take a detour to avoid you. How come it's not working this time? You're just talking nonsense, what eight characters are you talking about?"

  Nie Yuan was so angry that he scratched his ears and cheeks, but didn't dare to argue back, and could only mutter to himself: "It's originally like this! You guys followed me, didn't you also not see anything dirty?"

  Huang Xiaoyu heard this and her eyes widened in anger: "What? You mean to say that we, the Su family's eight trigrams, are light and weak? That even if we walk behind you, we'll still be found by...by those filthy things?" Nie Yuan wanted to retort, but was interrupted by Tian Haicheng, who hit him on the head with a walnut: "What time is it now? You're still arguing, haven't you seen that Su Yun isn't feeling well? Hurry up! Send them back, we all have classes tomorrow! Let's go, let's go, stop messing around!"

  Nie Yuan gently lifted up Ji Su-yin, who had gone limp, and the group slowly made their way back in silence. Tonight's events were shocking, to say the least, and even subverted the worldview they had developed over the past twenty years under socialist materialist education. Ji Su-yin had been stirred up since Nie Yuan and Huang Xiao-yu's debate earlier and had fallen into deep thought.

  Nai Yuan was right about one thing, which is, why do these things keep finding her Ji Su Yun so frequently and not others; why didn't this happen before, but suddenly changed after coming here? There's another detail that's been bothering her even more, which is, every time in her dreams, sometimes she can touch the objects around her, while other times she can't! This is just too strange!

  Ji Su Yun never narcissistically thought that she would be particularly special, she always believed in her own ordinariness and has been yearning for a plain and fulfilling life. Perhaps she is somewhat unambitious, perhaps in the future, due to some reason or another, she will change, but as of now, this is what she hopes for, and what she strives for.

  However, the situation in front of her was getting more and more confusing and frustrating, reminding her again and again how unlucky she was. This wasn't supposed to be the case; her university life shouldn't have been like this! She should think of a way to get back on track! And the person who might understand what's going on is Qi Xiu! Ji Suoyun isn't stupid; at certain times and places, she even has extraordinary insight and resilience beyond ordinary people. Her slowness might be intentional ignorance or perhaps it's just her nature.

  Back in the dormitory, Huang Xiaoyu, who was usually lively and talkative, looked exhausted, while Ji Suyin, who loved to interrupt others, was deep in thought. For a moment, the room fell into an unusual silence. Originally, after such a commotion, the four of them each had their own thoughts, so they all washed up casually and went to bed. It wasn't until almost midnight that Huang Xiaoyu snuck over to Yan Fen'er's bed and ended up squeezing in beside her to sleep.

  Ji Su had actually been awake the whole time, lying on her side facing the wall. She clutched her amulet tightly and felt under her pillow for her phone, flipping through her call log to find a phone number she had saved.

  The screen went black, and she stuffed the phone under her pillow again. Qisu thought for a moment, then took out her phone and wrote a message. She hesitated for a moment before finally sending it. This time, she felt a bit more at ease in her heart. Qisu snuggled into her blanket and fell asleep quickly; she was actually very tired.
