Chapter Fourteen: Overnight Stay

  Suddenly, Qi Xiu stepped on the fallen leaves and made a "crunching" sound, which was particularly jarring at this moment. "Don't come here again." Ji Su's voice sounded mournful, with a quiet power to it. Qi Xiu withdrew his foot and looked at Ji Su, who had shrunk into a ball, and after a while, gradually furrowed his brow. "Why do you always want me to leave? Have I wronged you?" No one spoke for half the day, and Qi Xiu grew impatient.

  "As you get closer, I'll hurt more and more." Zixiu was surprised: "Where does it hurt?" "Head, and eyes." Zixiu looked puzzled, slightly lowering his head in thought.

  Looking up at Ji Su, he continued to ask: "Do you hurt now? Do you know the reason?" Ji Su nodded and shook his head, thinking that Qi Xiu might not see it at night, and after a pause, he replied softly: "It hurts! I don't know! Maybe we had a feud in our past life." When Qi Xiu heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then seemed to be a little angry.

  The atmosphere was quiet for a while, then Qixiu raised his head and glared at the paulownia tree. The leaves of the paulownia tree rustled slightly, and it looked at Jisu with a complicated expression before turning to leave. Hearing Qixiu's footsteps leaving, Jisu didn't react much, slowly feeling the gradually dispersing pain, which seemed not so unbearable after all.

  Ji Su-yin stayed there all night, squatting until she was tired, and then leaned against the trunk of the tree. The little ghost didn't appear again, but Ji Su-yin felt lonely instead. She started talking to the tung oil tree as if it were a monologue. The tung oil tree rustled continuously with a soft, crisp sound.

  In the wee hours, there was a group of people drinking and making a ruckus, pulling out broken gongs and shouting loudly in the middle of the night. They passed by her side without noticing her. Luckily they didn't discover her, otherwise she would have thought it was a ghost and been scared to death!

  Feeling tired, Ji Su Yin leaned against the tree trunk, looking up at the sky. Half of her field of vision was branches and leaves, while the other half was the vast expanse of the sky, divided into beautiful lines by the foliage. The sky had transformed from a deep black to a pale blue-gray. Ji Su Yin patted her sleeping clothes; it was time to head back.

  Her mood had almost adjusted, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but bloom in the gentle morning breeze. Behind her, under the paulownia tree, there was a small shadow, as if waving goodbye... In the morning when she returned to the dormitory, no one noticed anything unusual about her.

  In the public class, Nie Yun saw Ji Su-yin and shouted: "Ah! Season daughter! Have you seen that video? I'm going to find out who did it and beat him to death! The man will become a duck and the woman will become a chicken! How about it? Do you want brothers to start the power of the masses to seek justice for you?"

  Ji Su thought it was funny and had long since not taken that matter to heart. "Don't make a fuss! It's already high-profile enough, what's the point of making a big deal out of it? If they want to write about it, let them! It won't hurt us!" Nie Yuan blinked his eyes and immediately started flattering: "Oh my! Seasoned lady Ji has such a broad...".

  "What?" Ji Su-yin was taken aback. Nie Yuan hastily changed his words: "No, I mean you have a broad mind, a prime minister's belly can hold a boat, that thing is nothing compared to you!" Nie Yuan compared the length of his thumb and index finger. Ji Su-yin pushed Nie Yuan away, laughing and crying at the same time: "Don't try to talk your way out of this, we agreed not to make trouble, even someone like me who's high-profile gets lumped in with the losers without distinction, you're still saying I'm not loser enough?"

  Nie Yuan laughed and said, "Haven't you already joined our loser camp? We've been calling each other brothers for so long, I've been saving a good spot for you! Don't be polite!" Ji Su Yun gave Nie Yuan a fierce glare, not wanting to bother with this idiot who couldn't even speak properly.

  Just then the bell rang, and the next class was management class. It's said that the agent class teacher will come to greet us. Huang Xiaoyu has been excited for a long time. As expected, the power of a flower fool is strong, and the power of a group of flower fools is simply appalling!
