Chapter 7: Classmates

But Jiang Luo still left a note of caution in his heart.

It was late, and the police were so sweet that they arranged a hotel for them and let them go to rest.

As the moon and stars dimmed, Jiang Luo rested his hands on the back of his head and looked at the ceiling, the memory of his boss's wife flashing through his mind.

Protection.

It's the only obsession that makes a mother get back up and stand by her child.

This kind of emotion is too strange for Jiang Luo, who has few friends and has never felt such affection. Of course, he thinks he doesn't need friends, and is even more indifferent to affection. Even his colleagues in the design institute, with whom he spends a lot of time, have a good relationship on the surface, but they have never gotten to know Jiang Luo's private life.

One person lives, one person dies, one person eats and the whole family doesn't go hungry, for Jiang Luo, this is the best state of life.

He slowly drained these thick emotions that weren't his and closed his eyes.

A night of peace.

When they went downstairs for breakfast the next day, a police officer who looked to be in his mid-twenties sat at the table and greeted them as they went over, "Buns and doughnuts and hoisin soup, is that okay?"

Jiang Luo took the fritters and ripped them into small pieces to soak in the hoisin soup as the police junior said, "The owner of Hotel 129 is awake, he's in a bit of a bad state of mind right now."

The police showed them a video of the boss lying in a hospital bed holding his son and not letting go, in tears and panic, mumbling, "Wife, I'm sorry, wife ......"

The child was so frightened by his appearance that he cried out, and the boss immediately hugged the child tightly; he kept stroking the child's fine, soft hair, and for a long time, shedding silent tears.

Because of the business, the boss really neglected his family a lot. When he has money, he doesn't have time to spend with his family, and when he doesn't have money, he doesn't have the patience to spend with his family.

One day, the owner came up with a new promotional technique.

He planned to receive his old lady, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, into the hotel, shoot some fun videos of the old lady, and make the old lady into a Netflix to attract traffic. Nowadays, with short videos, people are more tolerant of children and the elderly, so as long as there is a reputation, his hotel can't help but fire up again.

The boss took his mother back to the hotel, he had not lived with her for a long time, but after all, he was his own mother and son, and the more time passed, the more he felt that something was wrong. But the boss did not look into these wrong, all his mind is on his career, thinking that nothing big will happen anyway.

But it was because of his neglect, because of his perfunctory thoughts, that it came to this.

Jiang Luo watched as the black mist on the child's arm faded away amidst his boss's cries, he swallowed his last bite of fries and turned his head to Ye Xun, "Did you see that?"

Ye Xun put down the bun and looked back faintly, "See anything?"

"A black mist," Jiang Luo said, "on the left arm of a small child."

Ye Xun frowns and looks earnestly at the small child in the video, half shaking his head, "I didn't see it."

Jiang Luo was thoughtful.

Ye Xun is so powerful that he can't see such a black mist, and the original has never seen it, so why can he see it?

The only difference between him and the original is the difference in souls, and Chi You's death.

Did his soul cause this change, or was it because Chi You was by his side that Jiang Luo saw the black mist?

Jiang Luo hopes it is the former.

After all, nobody doesn't want to be a genius.

After they finished eating, the police boy smiled and grabbed a backpack from under the table and handed it to them, "We checked the life of this severed head ghost, and he really hasn't done anything evil. After we consulted with him personally, he would like to be taken back to the school by you to be kept."

The bag was placed in Jiang Luo's arms, Jiang Luo pulled back the zipper and looked down, his greenish-white head revealed a shy smile, "My little friend, my little friend, I have a gift."

Jiang Luo threw the bag to Lu Youyi and said with a lack of interest, "Here you go."

Lu Youyi holds the severed head ghost and wonders, "Raise it, how? Bury it in the earth?"

The severed head ghost was in tears, "Yesterday, he still called people Ning Xiu old brother, today, he gave them away at will, it is true that the prettier they are, the more they know how to break Xiao Sheng's heart."

Lu Youyi's ears hurt and he brushed his zipper, "You're so noisy."

The police boy continued, "We searched every room toilet in Hotel 129 this morning, and in every room we found plutonium coins wrapped in the toilet flush. We'll investigate the clientele afterward to find out who used these tactics, but you don't have to worry about these things."

Ye Xun nodded, "The window on the second floor of the hotel is guilty of window brake, let him use the pendant of dragon five sons 'lying pit viper' to put it on the window, it can break the brake."

The policeman boy wrote these down one by one and smiled brightly, "Good work, students."

After saying their goodbyes, the three of them slowed down and got ready to head back.

On the way back to school, Lu Youyi and Ye Xun had been playing with their cell phones, Jiang Luo felt strange and went over to catch a glimpse of Yu Guang, and found that they were chatting in a group.

The name of the group is "Please burn incense", and the number of people in the group is eight.

Jiang Luo The more he looked, the more familiar he became, and suddenly it dawned on him, isn't this the class group that was blocked by the original owner?

He opened his cell phone and scrolled to find this class group, clicked in to see that the group message was already 99+.

Jiang Luo flipped up, good guy, this group of people do not care that he is still in the group, chat messages are full of gossip between him and Chi You.

[Zhuo Zhongqiu: When are you coming back? I definitely don't believe you guys about Chi You and Jiang Luo until I see them].

[Ge Zhu: Strange, strange, why didn't I see this kind of destiny between these two people?]

Lu Youyi gushed: [ Chi You died of course it's not destiny, in fact Chi You brother's performance has been very obvious, just that you guys didn't see it. However, I have vaguely sensed that something is wrong long ago, I just didn't say it out loud].

[Ye Xun: You've only ever said bad things about Jiang Luo.]

Lu Youyi's heart and liver jumped, he carefully raised his head from the phone and glanced at Jiang Luo, saw that Jiang Luo's face was not abnormal before he breathed a sigh of relief. In the past, he did scold Jiang Luo many words, but now feel incomparably weak, do not dare to let Jiang Luo know.

Because Lu Youyi realized that Jiang Luo was not what he thought he was.

Jiang Luo reads the message, and it turns out to be Lu Youyi and Ye Xun telling the group the story of his two-way crush with Chi You.

The group was in a trance, unable to believe that what they were both saying was true.

Chi You has been in love with Jiang Luo for a long time? You even confessed to Jiang Luo?

You used to leave Jiang Luo alone for tutoring so you could spend time with Jiang Luo?

Hahaha, are Ye Xun and Lu Youyi in a nightmare?

They were more willing to believe that Lu Youyi and Ye Xun were making up stories to deceive people than that Chi You and Jiang Luo liked each other.

[Zhuo Zhongqiu: How could Chi You like Jiang Luo?]

Lu Youyi said slyly: [You guys think about Jiang Luo's face.]

After a few seconds of silence in the group, Lu Youyi said awkwardly, [Actually, Jiang Luo is quite good.]

Ye Xun said: [ Lu Youyi is right.]]

The group's original attitude of "disbelief and scoffing" changed to one of "half-belief and half-doubt" as the two of them made their case. Jiang Luo looked at Ye Xun and Lu Youyi with relief, and knew that he had not chosen the wrong person.

It was easy to fool the two of them, but it was hard to fool the rest of the class.

Both the original and the current Jiang Luo are outsiders to the class. In this case, with Lu Youyi, who has always hated Jiang Luo, and Ye Xun, who is aloof, the class will believe the message that "Chi You likes Jiang Luo".

Obviously it is better than Jiang Luo's own words.

CP, isn't it more realistic to rely on one's own brain to come up with the sugar if there is nothing?

We're about to arrive at the school, Lu Youyi shook his sore fingers and sent out one last sentence: [We're about to arrive at the school, if you don't believe me, you can ask Jiang Luo yourselves, besides, even if you don't believe that Chi You will like Jiang Luo, you still have to believe in Chi You's aesthetics, don't you?]

Jiang Luo: "......"

After crossing over, he thanked himself for this face for I don't know how many times.

Jiang Luo put away his cell phone and contemplated for a moment on how to act out his love for Chi You, but also show the determination of a scummy prodigal son to return.

Unlike Ye Xun and Lu Youyi, three of the remaining five people in the class were not easy to deal with.

One is Ge Zhu, the son of the Taoist family; one is Zhuo Zhongqiu, the daughter of the Zhuo family of the six sects, who is a dual-cultivator of body and soul; and the other is Wen Renlian, who is always smiling with his eyes, making it impossible for people to see through his heart.

One relies on intuition, one relies on experience, and one relies on reading people's hearts, and neither is a good cajoler.

Ten minutes later, the three arrived at the school entrance.

As soon as they got out of the car, they saw a handsome man standing outside the entrance to the school.

The handsome man was wearing casual short sleeves and shorts, and his two straight legs were whiter than a girl's. He was wearing a ducktail hat and was leaning against the wall dealing with the group of girls that surrounded him.

Lu Youyi staggered at the sight of the handsome man, "I can't believe he came to pick us up, this one is so gossipy."

Jiang Luo squinted to see who this person was, and before he could see, the handsome man spotted them and walked out of the group of girls. Walking right up to them, he skillfully reached out his hand in greeting, "Why did you bring back a ghost?"

The voice is husky and neutral, as if soaked through with tobacco and alcohol.

What the handsome man was looking at was the backpack behind Lu Youyi's back, in which the severed ghost's head was being contained. However, before the severed head ghost could show a hint of wrongness, the other party had already discovered its existence.

Ye Xun and Lu Youyi were not surprised, Ye Xun complained slightly, "It's pestering Jiang Luo."

The handsome man looked over at Jiang Luo, who was slightly shorter than Jiang Luo, and then raised his head slightly, revealing a sharp but not unfeminine face under a duck-tongued hat.

With sharp, deep eyes, indistinguishable male and female features, and a vaguely feminine face, Jiang Luo realized that this handsome man was actually a girl.

Zhuo Zhongqiu's eyes roamed over Jiang Luo's body as if it had substance, and suddenly whistled, "Chi You has a good eye."

The girls in the back timidly chased after them, stopping two meters away, with a light blush on their faces, "Sister ......"

Zhuo Zhongqiu turned around helplessly, pointing a backhanded finger at Jiang Luo, "Sisters, School Sister likes this kind of looks." She paused and laughed, "Preferably with big breasts, after all, school sister herself is a flat-chested one."

The girls' cheeks popped red and they all scattered in one breath.

Lu Youyi : "...... So jealous."

Ye Xun nodded silently.

Zhuo Zhongqiu was very curious about Jiang Luo and asked him many questions on the way back, "So, Chi You's death was really not an accident?"

She wrapped her arms around her chest and rubbed her chin, suddenly letting out a laugh, "Interesting."

Jiang Luo also found it interesting, but he couldn't show it, he smiled, saw the small couple next to him on the trail seat, and was struck by an idea, suddenly stopped in a daze.

Zhuo Zhongqiu followed his gaze and realized, "You guys used to come here on dates?"

The pretty young man with dark hair smiled, "Not really a date."

Chi You did bring the original here, however it was to humiliate the original in front of those ordinary students.

Jiang Luo looked at the flowers with gentle eyes, he likes plants, after the sophomore design foundation is because of this reason in favor of landscape design. After removing the excessive arrogance and conceited look, such a look makes him look as if the jewels have been wiped by a silk cloth to wipe off the floating dust, and there is a kind of sublimation like dazzling.

Eyes with tenderness, smile like a wind with dew, looks ethereal, fairy dust, but the bones are hiding a few hidden demonic, a kind of paradoxical charm.

Zhuo Zhongqiu couldn't help but look at him a few more times, thinking that love really transforms people. Even Jiang Luo, the scum of the earth, has returned, but the return of the prodigal son can never be replaced, and Zhuo Zhongqiu is not the kind of person who will judge people by stereotypes.

She interpreted Jiang Luo's expression of tenderness as nostalgia for Chi You, and glancing at Jiang Luo's neck, she tried, "I heard Lu Youyi say that Chi You showed up last night?"

The dark haired youth's neck was wrapped in two layers of gauze by the paramedics, looking a little ascetic. He raised a hand to touch his neck, remembering his last meeting with Chi You, but the smile on his face grew, "Yeah, he came to see me."

Jiang Luo is still able to laugh when an evil spirit who wants to take him away chokes his neck like this, Zhuo Zhongqiu is completely convinced that he is in love with Chi You. Zhuo Zhongqiu rubbed his eyebrows with a headache, "No way, you can still laugh? He came to you because he wanted you dead."

Jiang Luo, with an expression of "I don't listen, I don't listen", stubbornly said, "Chi You won't do anything against me, he just misses me."

Zhuo Zhongqiu :"...... "is really exactly the same as that group of love brains who talk about love on the head.

Lu Youyi couldn't even look at it anymore, he wanted to say, "But your neck ......"

Jiang Luo showed a sweet smile and said softly, "It must have been because he was too excited, I know, he didn't mean it."

Zhuo Zhongqiu moved to Ye Xun's side and quietly pointed to his brain, "Has he been bewitched by Chi You?"

Ye Xun sighed, "He likes Chi You a lot, and he feels guilty about Chi You, so I'm afraid that if Chi You really asked him to die, he wouldn't hesitate to do so."

"That won't do," Zhuo Zhongqiu said at once, "Chi You must not be allowed to kill Jiang Luo."

Even for Chi You, they couldn't stand by and watch Chi You do something like this.

This is definitely not the other party's intention, Chi You has already transformed into a ghostly creature, and the idea of killing his lover to keep him company may have become his obsession, and they have to stop Chi You, lest Chi You regains his senses and remembers what he has done and falls into an abyss of regret and pain.

Zhuo Zhongqiu and Ye Xun looked at each other and nodded in silent agreement.

The old campus of Birch University was in the center of the city, and the land in the center of the city was very expensive, so the area of the old campus was not very big. The College of Natural Sciences and Social Studies was in the deepest part, Jiang Luo followed them to the left and right, I don't know how many times they had to go around the corner, but a brand new road that had not been seen before suddenly appeared in the remote corner in front of his eyes.

Two words rose in Jiang Luo's mind: formation.

After the path, the view opens up, the tall school building was built in the semicircle of the clear water lake, into the "jade belt around the waist" feng shui pattern.

Flowers, plants and trees in every place are just right, Jiang Luo look at the first glance, the first time in the sky to see a lot of seemingly no golden mist, which is the feng shui treasure of the unique auspicious qi.

A closer look, the gas of the sky, the spirit of the earth, the sun, the moon, mountains and rivers and grass and flowers, each of the angry aura gathered around the water's edge, and even let this place is vaguely have the effect of the dragon's vein, it is on the top of the game, designed this college, is definitely a master of feng shui.

Jiang Luo marveled as he walked towards his class, which was watching them through the window.

Ge Zhu, who wore his hair in a bun and was dressed in loose Taoist clothing, folded his arms and smiled as he looked out at the three people who were getting closer and closer; his face was calm and his eyes were bright and clean, giving people a feeling of being free from worldly constraints, "Look, they're back."

The tall man sitting across from him responded in silence, looking out for a long moment before suddenly saying, "The doll in Ye Xun's hand was used."

Ge Zhu was slightly startled, "Just a commission for a bed and breakfast store, and you're using a grudge doll?"

The mountainous, robust and sullen Kuang Zheng let out a "hmmm", he was a smith and had the ability to have a heart for the tools he smoked, "Don't worry about it, it's just been used a little."

Ge Zhu wipes the cold sweat from his head, "Scared the hell out of Taoist, I thought Xiao Fen was messing with his food again."

As they spoke, the four people outside had already walked in. Ge Zhu smiled a sunny smile and enthusiastically waved at them, "Welcome back."

Kuang Zheng rises, looking extraordinarily formal for his obviously large size, and silently draws out chairs for several people.

Jiang Luo Yu Guang glanced at the two students, the friendly Taoist priest was Ge Zhu, and the one with wheat-colored skin like a bricklayer was the weapon smith Kuang Zheng.

Kuang Zheng is an extraordinary character, the metaphysical world is becoming less and less talented, the refiner is one in a hundred, but Kuang Zheng has a strong talent in the refining of weapons, and even more rare is that he is simple-minded and dedicated, in the refining of weapons can be said to be a day by day.

Ge Zhu and Kuang Zheng were also looking at him, and Jiang Luo sat down by the window and smiled slightly at them with his cheeks resting on his head.

Ge Zhu also smiled slightly and fixed his eyes on Jiang Luo.

People are supported by their skeleton, just like a house, the five senses are the windows of the house. Therefore, when a physiognomist looks at a person's face, the first thing he looks at is the bones and the face.

While bone reading needs to be touched, face reading does not. The five senses of a human being gather spiritual energy, and the five organs and spirits all lead to the face. Ge Zhu has been learning face reading for a long time, and he can judge the success or failure of an ordinary person's life with just one glance. But at this time, Ge Zhu could only see in Jiang Luo's body a fog that covered it tightly!

He was so shocked that he stood up and stammered, "This this this ......"

Jiang Luo wrapped a strand of black hair around his finger and looked at him with interest, "Hmm?"

Ge Zhu walked quickly to his side and solemnly stretched out his hand, "Fellow student Jiang Luo, could you let Xiaodao read your palm?"

Jiang Luo smiled and extended his left hand to him, "Please."

Ge Zhu shook his hand.

The hand is delicate and smooth, as soft as moss, and the fingertips are long and slender, indicating that the person is smart and handsome, and has the appearance of great wealth and great fortune. This is only the most basic features of palmistry, Ge Zhu still want to look at, but by the messy palm prints shake eyes dizzy, eyes staring at the big copper bells, but also did not see the slightest.

The people around him were quiet, afraid of disturbing him. In the morning, Ge Zhu put down Jiang Luo's hand with a sweaty head, and returned to his seat in a trance, holding a thermos cup and smiling weakly, "Nothing, nothing, life is in the world, we must know that there are people outside the mountain, and where is it so easy to penetrate the life of a person? Efforts to get better and better, not chaotic in the heart, not trapped in love, through the cold, in order to usher in peace. To know, a glance at the end of life, can be very miserable."

A laugh came from outside, "Ge Zhu, what kind of chicken soup for the soul are you stewing again?"

Before the words fell, two people walked in at the back door. The one who spoke was a lady in a red dress, with long flowing hair and a smile that made her eyes squint together, a layer of beige shawl draped over the dress, elegantly stepping on her high heels as she paced.

"She was tall, very tall, even taller and more slender than the blonde, blue-eyed foreign boy behind her. This delightful, elegant beauty was the low-profile, mysterious Wenren Lian.

A man with a female fetish.

Sai Liaoer, the foreign pretty boy behind Wen Renlian, scratched his head in embarrassment and clumsily said in the characteristic foreigner's accent, "Sorry, we're late."

Ge Zhu sighed, "Wink, you're here."

Wen Renlian gathered his shawl and sat opposite Jiang Luo with a smile on his face, his eyes squinted into a slit with thick eyelashes, making people wonder if he could see clearly.

"Ge Zhu, do you see something?"

"Can't see a thing," Ge Zhu said honestly, "Do you want to try?"

Ge Zhu studied phase counting, and Wen Renlian studied divination counting.

Wen Renlian sniffed, still smiling, and refused, "If you can't even see it, I won't make a fool of myself. Compared to these esoteric things, I would rather ask fellow student Jiang Luo something."

He held his cheeks in Jiang Luo's mold, his satin-like wig sliding down his chest, and Wen Renlian asked curiously, "Fellow student Jiang Luo, have you ever slept with Chi You?"
