Chapter 63: Obsession

  Ge Lu's warm and gentle eyes stared at her, she got closer, and saw that it was a very light amber color. "How much do you know about Qi Xiu?" Su Yin was stunned, shaking her head: "I... don't know." She really didn't know, except for the name, nothing else. Ge Lu smiled, with a faint smile, his eyes curved upwards: "Qi Xiu has been cold and unfeeling since childhood, never paying much attention to others, and is most afraid of trouble, having an automatic tendency to distance herself from people. But she's quite persistent towards you!"

  Su Yin's face flushed, her heart racing, as she stuttered: "W-why?" Ge Lu hesitated, his left hand propping up his chin: "Perhaps it's because you resemble someone, and he doesn't want to see history repeat itself."

  Su Yun's curiosity was piqued, and she asked, "With whom? What historical reenactment? What happened to that person?" As soon as the words left her mouth, Ge Lu's warm face turned serious and cold, his smile quickly disappearing. Su Yun was startled, and her heart skipped a beat. All she heard was a low, muffled voice: "He's dead!" She was shocked and didn't know how to react.

  After a long silence, Ge Lu's eyes calmed down and he refocused his attention on her, asking: "What did Qi Xiu tell you about us?" Su Yin regained her composure and replied: "Not much, he only briefly introduced me to the general situation of the three major families since ancient times and their respective sects, and then stopped."

  Ge Lu raised an eyebrow: "That's it?" Su Yin nodded: "That's it!" Ge Lu smiled: "It seems he really put his heart into protecting you!" Seeing Su Yin's face turn red, Ge Lu said quietly: "But this is far from enough! Su Yin, you need to know that you're different from others. You're special!"

  Su Yun looked puzzled: "Special?" Ge Lu nodded, his voice low and mysterious, matching the dim lighting, making the atmosphere eerie: "Yes, because it's special, it's very dangerous. You have to remember, what can harm you, besides spirits, are other things!" Seeing Ge Lu wouldn't continue, Su Yun asked: "What things?" But Ge Lu just glanced at her, straightened up and leaned against the back of his chair, saying indifferently: "I can't tell you anything. Is there anything else you want to ask?" It's 'can't' not 'can't do'!

  Su Yin looked up at Ge Lu with a warm and smiling face, biting her lower lip, thinking for a moment, then raised her head to ask: "Ge brother, you are a member of the Ge family, so do you have any way to cure my eyes?" Ge Lu was surprised: "Why? Your eyes aren't sick." Su Yin nodded: "I know, but I don't want to continue living like this anymore. I don't want to trouble others again!" Ge Lu understood and said: "I don't have a solution, I've never seen your situation before, but I'll go back and investigate."

  Su Yun immediately felt a sense of disappointment, but still forced a smile and asked: "Is there any way to temporarily let my eyes see the light?" Ge Lu thought for a moment, nodded: "This should be possible, but it won't last long. I'll go back and try, but what do you want to use it for?" Su Yun nodded: "I promised my classmate that I would accompany him to his birthday party, and I promised him not to wear glasses."

  Ge Lu asked, "Boyfriend?" Su Yin's face suddenly turned red as she shook her head, "No, no, just a classmate." Ge Lu thought for a moment before saying, "Is it Su Cong?" Su Yin was taken aback and gritted her teeth in anger, thinking to herself that this big mouth had told Ge Lu everything. Seeing her twisted expression, Ge Lu couldn't help but smile, "Alright, I know. Tomorrow afternoon, come find me. Let's go, I'll send you back."

  On the bus, Su Yun was very embarrassed, sitting still and not moving. Ge Lu glanced at her hand and asked: "Is your hand still hurting?" Su Yun quickly waved her hand: "No, it's not that painful." Ge Lu smiled: "Girls, if there are scars on their hands, they won't be good, tomorrow I'll help you make some ointment, come and get it together!" Su Yun was embarrassed: "Then, thank you, Brother Lu."

  Just as the atmosphere was about to become awkward again, Su Yin found something to say: "That day, in the botanical garden, what happened to me?" Ge Lu replied: "You were affected by an illusion spell and fell into a hallucination. I pulled you back." Su Yin stared at the bandages on her hands and muttered: "What was I looking for at that time?" Ge Lu glanced at her and shook his head: "Only you know that yourself. Later, we looked around, but there was nothing there."

  Both of them fell into deep thought, and the car became quiet. They arrived at the girls' dormitory building before they knew it. Su Yun didn't mention that she had been staying in Qi Xiu's apartment for the past few days. After getting off the car, Su Yun thanked Ge Lu, and they parted ways. Back in her dorm room, although it was only a few days, she felt like she hadn't returned in a long time.

  Standing at the door for a long time, Su Yin took a deep breath and pushed open the door, but suddenly heard a loud retching sound. She quickly went inside to take a look and saw Huang Xiaoyu leaning against the sink, retching violently, while Yan Fen'er was by her side, patting and stroking her back with a worried face. "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Do we need to go to the hospital?" Su Yin rushed over to ask, but Huang Xiaoyu was so exhausted from vomiting that she weakly waved her hand: "No, no need, no need to go to the hospital, I'm fine."

  Su Yun saw her vomiting badly, and quickly poured a cup of warm water to hand over. At this time, a strange voice came from the side: "I thought who was coming? It turned out to be some kind of neurosis! I really can't understand how you still have the face to come back!" Su Yun and the other two were stunned, looking at Ji Huali half-reclining on the bed, playing with her phone, and talking incessantly.

  With a "clink" sound, Huang Xiaoyu's face turned pale and she knocked the water cup against the edge of the pool. Just as she was about to speak, Su Yin stopped her. Huang Xiaoyu endured for a moment, but ultimately didn't say anything, and was helped by the two people to go rest on the bed.

  Huang Xiaoyu lay on top, facing the two people below and speaking, as if Ji Huali didn't exist, saying whatever came to mind. "Su Yin, I heard that yesterday at the medical school... something happened, right?" Yan Fen'er also wanted to ask, looking at Su Yin. Su Yin didn't want to say much, so she casually brushed it off: "Nothing, I'm not very clear about the specific reason either..."

  "What's the specific reason, huh! I think it's just a disease, neurosis!" The tone was very sharp and piercing, making the three people look very uncomfortable. Huang Xiaoyu had no strength to speak, could only stare at her, Yan Fen'er was originally a soft-hearted person, but this time she couldn't help but want to say something, but was pulled by Su Yun's hand and closed her mouth.

  It ended like this, Su Yun washed and dressed, she still had a lot of things to do. Ji Huali's words were unpleasant to hear, she was also furious, but she didn't have time to bother. As soon as she came out of the bathroom, someone knocked on the door, opened it, and saw a boy wearing a navy blue uniform and a baseball cap, holding a paper box in his hand.

  "Anything?" Su Yun's head was dripping with water droplets, asking. "Is there a Miss Ji Su Yun here?" Su Yun was taken aback, and the three people in the house also looked over. "Yes, I am. Who are you?" The boy was very sunny, seeing that it was her, immediately smiled out a mouthful of white teeth, handed her something to sign. Su Yun was baffled, couldn't ask anything, so she signed. Closing the door, taking the thing inside, putting it on the table and starting to unwrap. After unwrapping the outer layer of packaging paper, a delicate box appeared inside, enchanting purple, rectangular shape, with sapphire blue cross-shaped ribbons tied into a bow, this appearance seemed like...

  She quickly opened the box and took a look, and indeed! Inside was a blue-purple evening gown, the fabric looked very high-end. Yan Fen'er gasped in surprise, exclaiming: "Wow! Su Yun, this is an evening gown! So beautiful! Who sent it?" Su Yun was also puzzled, looking around, and found a note in the gap, opened it to take a look, and indeed it was from Su Cong! What's going on? Has Su Cong become rich? Such a big gift! Yan Fen'er glanced at it and whispered: "Su Cong?"

  As soon as she spoke, she immediately fell silent. Su Yin smiled slightly and put the things away in the cabinet without saying anything. After tidying up a bit, Su Yin told her that she was going out. As soon as the door closed, Huang Xiaoyu opened her eyes, staring at the ceiling, her fingers fiercely grasping the bed sheet, her fingernails cracking and bleeding without her even noticing.

  Su Yun went to Qi Xiu's apartment, took out the key, and entered. Suddenly, she found Qi Xiu sitting in the house, staring at her with an intense gaze, like a black panther staring at its prey, emitting a strong aura. For some reason, today's Qi Xiu had a particularly strong presence, making Su Yun feel oppressed. She forced a smile and said, "So you're here after all?"

  Qī Xiū's eyes were pitch black, staring at Sū Yīn until she felt uncomfortable all over, her tone was also very cold, as if mixed with anger, suppressed: "Where did you go?"
