Chapter 2: Trouble Again

  After finishing dinner, I went back to the dormitory and took a nap. When I woke up, it was already dark outside...

  After taking a look at my phone, I have developed a habit of checking it as soon as I wake up every day.

  There was an unconnected call from Zhang Ting, but after seeing it, I felt inexplicably at ease.

  "I was sleeping in the afternoon, what's wrong?"

  "Nope, just making a phone call to ask, hehe."

  I chatted for a while and then hung up the phone to go eat, it was already after 9 o'clock. I hastily ate something and came back to the dormitory, turned on the computer, and had nothing to do so I casually browsed the news website.

  A female college student jumped to death from a building in Ma Kou City Vocational and Technical College yesterday.

  The above seems to be a complicated emotional entanglement, but I didn't pay much attention to these details.

  I wonder if Zhang Ting dare stay in the dormitory tonight, thinking of it makes me a bit worried about her, yesterday was really scary for her.

  "Are you brave enough to stay in the dorm at night?" I called Zhang Ting.

  "Hmm! There are still a few people in the dorm, and our counselor said that we will be switching dorms tomorrow, so with more people I won't be afraid." Zhang Ting seemed to say happily, perhaps because I called her.

  "Zhang Ting! Come quick and look at Lily, what's wrong with her!" The voice of her roommate burst out from the other end of the phone. I heard Zhang Ting shout: "Lily, what are you doing? Hurry up and come down!"

  "Lily! Don't scare us, come down quickly!" The phone hadn't hung up, it's just that Zhang Ting wasn't talking to me anymore. I kept hearing their voices from the phone.

  "Hey, hey! What's wrong with Zhang Ting?"

  "Zi Jiang! Come quick, something's happened to Lily!" Hearing Zhang Ting shouting over there, I thought to myself, not good, something's happened again!

  I rushed out of the dormitory, the apartment door was closed at 11:30 and the main gate couldn't be exited. I climbed out from the back door and ran on the road, selfishly thinking: anyone can get into trouble, but Zhang Ting must not get into trouble!

  I quickly ran into a building on campus, where there was already a commotion. I saw girls constantly running out, and I took the opportunity to run in, ignoring the gazes of others, and directly rushed towards Zhang Ting's dormitory. She lived in 615, which I knew.

  "Zhang Ting!" My first glance was that the dormitory was packed with girls, all looking down from the balcony, while Zhang Ting was crouching in a corner of the wall, trembling!

  "Zhang Ting, are you okay?" I pushed through the crowd and came to Zhang Ting's side, squatting down. As soon as Zhang Ting heard my voice, she burst into tears.

  "Xiao...Chuan...Lily jumped off the building..." Listening to Zhang Ting's sobbing voice, I stood up and looked down with them. This time, the direction of the jump was different, yesterday it was at the front gate, but this time it was really in the back! I vaguely saw Lily lying in the same posture as Mengmeng! No, I seemed to see another corpse lying next to Lily! It's Mengmeng!

  It's too weird, I simply don't dare believe my eyes, I closed them and looked again but it was gone.

  "Come on, I'll take you out tonight." I pulled Zhang Ting's hand and headed outside. Seeing Zhang Ting like this made me anxious, after all, it was the second time I saw someone I knew die. And died so mysteriously!

  On the road, I saw police cars constantly passing by and looking over...

  "What's wrong with Zhang Ting? Why did Lily also jump off the building?" In the room, I saw that Zhang Ting seemed to have calmed down a bit, and my mind was full of questions about what had just happened.

  "I don't know either... Just now when I was talking to you on the phone, my roommate saw Lili who was playing computer suddenly stood up stiffly and walked towards the balcony. My roommate asked her what she was doing, but Lili didn't respond, and just walked stiffly with a wooden expression step by step." Zhang Ting swallowed, seemingly recalling that terrifying experience.

  "Then my roommate went to pull Lili, but Lili didn't stop and seemed not to feel anyone pulling her. She was dragged along, and then she asked me for help... I saw Lili walking towards us with empty eyes, as if she couldn't see her pupils... After we reached the balcony, she fell out... " She finished speaking and was still frightened, so I hugged her."

  Dazed, hollow, no eyeballs? It seems I grasped something...

  "It's okay, don't be afraid."

  The next day, Zhang Ting woke up and said to me, "Zi Chuan, I don't want to go to class today."

  "En, bu shang, jintian wo pei ni qu guang guang."

  Translation: "Hmm, no need, today I'll accompany you to take a stroll."

  Today the sunshine is very big... The winter sun shines into the bones and feels warm...

  I took Zhang Ting for a walk in the square, accompanying her to stroll through those shops, buying her snacks, hoping she could forget what happened over the past two days.

  After strolling for a long time, she and I sat down on a bench.

  "Zi Jiang...do you still remember that day when you sent me back to the dorm and I stopped you, was there something you wanted to say?" Zhang Ting suddenly became shy beside him.

  She said that, and I suddenly remembered that night, if it wasn't interrupted by Mengmeng, I would have forgotten.

  "Huh? What are you trying to say?" Actually, I've already guessed it... How about you guys?

  "Actually... I like you." Watching Zhang Ting's face turn red, this look made me fall even more.

  I should probably do something about it, because guys should be braver and more proactive...

  I took her hand and said, "I like you too."

  Perhaps we should have defined our relationship earlier, but just missed an opportunity...

  As for the past me

  The Beautiful CEO Fell in Love with Me Latest Chapter

  All I want to say is

  The past is gone...

  Appreciate what you have now...

  One afternoon I accompanied her to stroll around her favorite places, and her mood improved a lot...

  "Zi Jiang! I want to eat ice cream... you go buy it for me." There was a dessert stand in front, Zhang Ting saw it and felt hungry...

  "Go! He would order me around from the very beginning, ~Alright, you wait here for a while, I'll go buy it." I ran over there to line up...

  As I was queuing up, an old man leaned over...

  "Young man... is this thing delicious?" The old man said a sentence to me, making me a bit stunned. I looked him up and down, seeing his hands clasped behind his back, hunching over and staring at me.

  "It's okay, it's sweet." I was stared at by him and said this sentence in a fluster, and added another one. "Do you want some too?"

  "Haha, okay, I've never had this kind of thing before." When it was my turn, I also bought one for him.

  "Hmm~~~ it's really quite sweet..." The old man licked his lips, he still knows how to enjoy food.

  "Okay, enjoy your snack slowly, I'll go first." After saying that, I took the ice cream cone and ran over to give it to Zhang Ting. When I turned back, I still glanced at the old man a few times, who was standing there eating his ice cream cone. I didn't think much of it and took Zhang Ting to watch a movie.

  I bought two tickets... When checking the ticket, I unexpectedly saw that old man. He was actually a ticket inspector at the cinema. I held Zhang Ting's hand and handed over the ticket. The old man saw it was me. "Hehe, the ice cream cone just now was delicious~" Then his gaze stared at Zhang Ting for a while, and his face turned serious.

  I subconsciously blocked Zhang Ting, which man is willing to let his own woman be stared at by others?

  The old man also felt a bit discolored, "Alright alright, go in."

  I brought Zhang Ting to a good seat and sat down, watching a comedy film. During which Zhang Ting laughed several times, seeing her laugh made me feel satisfied...

  "Zihe, come with me to the restroom." Zhang Ting pulled my hand and stood up, I watched her go in and waited outside the door, taking the opportunity to light a cigarette.

  "Hey kid, take a drag of this cigarette." I looked around to see where the voice came from and found that old man had appeared beside me at some point...

  He handed me a Red Plum cigarette, which is quite rare these days. I said thanks and lit up.

  "Cough! This smoke is too choking!" I coughed twice, this cigarette is too uncomfortable to smoke.

  "Haha, cigarettes are meant to be choking, that's what makes them comfortable." The old man smiled and replied to me. "Young fellow, the one who just went in is your girlfriend, isn't she?"

  "Uh-huh..." I recalled how that old man kept staring at her just now, and it made me feel a bit repulsed.

  "How should I tell you, I just saw a black aura on her forehead... I'm afraid something will happen tonight." The old man's words gave me a fright. In the past, when someone said such mysterious and fantastical things to me, I would ignore them, but after what happened over the past two days, having seen Mengmeng twice, I was a bit shaken.

  "What did you say?" I nervously looked at the old man.

  "Let's go and take a look, Zikawa." Zhang Ting walked out, holding my hand, and directly pulled me away. I wanted to ask something, but didn't want to do it in front of Zhang Ting.

  "Hey young man, if you have any business, come find me here..." The old man said loudly.

  "Do you know her?" Zhang Ting asked me.

  "I don't know..."

  "I don't know you and yet you're chatting with him."

  After finishing watching the movie, it was already dark outside... I took Zhang Ting back to our room.

  "Ugh, Zikawa, I'm so tired. Help me massage my feet." How can I not be tired? I've been accompanying her all day, and even if she didn't say anything, I'd still be very tired. She ordered me to do it, how can I not comply?

  "Zi Chuan, you said you would be good to me."

  I pinched her face. "Will do"

  "Ugh, how disgusting! You're pinching my foot and now you're pinching my face!"

  "Ho, you still disdain me." Like this, playing around, seeing Zhang Ting fall asleep, I should also sleep. I sat on the stool, putting two stools together to rest.

  I was woken up in the second half of the night. I thought it was Zhang Ting getting up to use the bathroom, so I didn't pay much attention. But later on, the noise got louder.

  I heard the sound of a table falling over, I turned on the light and saw Zhang Ting stumbling along with her feet tangled in a thread.

  "Zhang Ting?" I looked at her.

  She didn't respond to me, but continued walking forward, and not far away was the window! My heart started racing. I rushed in front of her, opening my hands to stop her.

  "Zhang Ting! Zhang Ting, what's wrong with you!" I saw Zhang Ting's face was dull and stunned, as if she had lost her soul. Her eyes were very empty, her pupils were gone, and only the whites of her eyes were visible. Moreover, I was standing in front of her, but I couldn't stop her, instead she pushed me to move forward!

  "Zhang Ting! Wake up!" I kicked my feet back against the wall! My feet felt like they were going to twist off, that force was squeezing me so hard I could hardly breathe! But I had to hold on tight, if I didn't, Zhang Ting would be gone!

  Just then, I heard a cracking sound! My foot dislocated! I fell to the ground and saw Zhang Ting getting closer and closer to the window! A swaying foot stood up, grabbed a stool and hit it over!

  I saw Zhang Ting collapse and fall to the ground... I gritted my teeth against the pain in my feet, carried her onto the bed, and looked into her eyes which were still blank, my heart racing with anxiety...

  What's going on!
