Chapter 62: You see, I look a bit like before

In the corridor, Zhou Xubai and Gao Yujie were silent in tacit understanding. Gao Yujie was a loyal fan of BL, so she accepted it after a few seconds of silence.

He reached out and patted Zhou Xubai's shoulder, completely lacking any awareness of being a student, and said in a brotherly tone, "Don't worry, I will keep my mouth shut."

Zhou Xubai slowly shifted his gaze, stopping at the hand she had placed on his shoulder. He said unhappily, "You're so disrespectful. What are you guessing about? It's not what you think."

"I understand, I understand. Usually, the first reaction in such situations is to refute. I understand that."

Gao Yujie blinked, with a gossipy expression as if she knew everything but refused to say anything.

"Forget it, why should I tell you all this? I'd better figure it out myself."

As he was about to leave, Gao Yujie grabbed him and said, "Hey! Teacher Zhou, wait a minute, I'm not curious anymore, okay? Are you still going camping?"

Hearing this, Zhou Xubai stopped and tilted his head slightly to ask, "Can we add one more person?"

Gao Yujie immediately agreed, "Yes! I definitely can!"

It's just right for her to see if Teacher Zhou's boyfriend is handsome.

Seeing that she agreed so readily, Zhou Xubai was speechless, but this was his only chance and he didn't want to miss it.

So he took out his phone and sent a message to Gao Yujie's WeChat, "Just add him and invite him to come."

Gao Yujie was stunned and asked hurriedly, "I invite him?"

Shouldn't he invite it himself?

Zhou Xubai had certainly thought about it, but when he thought that Fu Quezhou might check Su Yumian's phone at any time, he gave up the idea.

Just from the two confrontations between him and Fu Quezhou, it was clear that Fu Quezhou hated him very much, even to the point of disgust.

If he contacted Su Yumian, it would probably cause him trouble.

I have to say that Zhou Xubai thought very comprehensively.

"Don't be so surprised. You know him. He's Su Yumian, who taught you the specimen restoration course before." Zhou Xubai explained.

When Gao Yujie heard it was him, her gossipy mind became even more active. She patted her chest and promised, "Don't worry, I will definitely help you to ask him out."

"Not helping me..."

Zhou Xubai was about to explain, but Gao Yujie waved her hand and left.

Zhou Xubai was a little absent-minded throughout the whole day.

He was wondering whether he should take Su Yumian with him and escape directly after getting him out, or persuade him to risk his life to collect evidence of Fu Quezhou's guilt. He was thinking about this question even while walking on the road.

It was just past nine o'clock, the street lights on both sides of the road were on, and Zhou Xubai was walking aimlessly on the road.

At this time, a man wearing a bright pink cotton vest and a white sweater underneath was walking towards them. His neck-length pink hair was shining coolly under the street light.

The ripped jeans looked out of place in this season, but he didn't seem to care. He put on his headphones, hummed a little tune and shook his head.

When passing by Zhou Xubai, the man with headphones suddenly stopped and turned to look at the person who was gradually walking away.

He took off his headphones, stared at the familiar figure, and whispered softly, "Is that... Zhou Xubai?"

That's right, he would never make a mistake, because he was too familiar with this back figure. After all, he had seen it from afar for two years.

He stared at the figure that had disappeared into the night, slowly curling his lips into a cold smile, "Zhou Xubai, it's been a few years since we last met. I'm afraid you wouldn't recognize me even if I stood in front of you now, right?"

He withdrew his gaze, took out his cell phone and turned off the music, then opened the address book and dialed a number called K.

The phone rang several times before it was connected. A muffled voice came from the other end: "What?"

The man with headphones was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why is your voice hoarse?"

"If you have to fart, fart now!"

"Help me check out this guy named Zhou Xubai. I want to know what he's been up to in recent years."

The person on the other end of the line suddenly yelled, "It's not Lin Xu. You just returned to China and asked me to do something. Why do you ask me to investigate people? I'm a fucking hacker, a hacker!"

Lin Xu was stunned and asked subconsciously, "Has anyone else asked you to do this?"

The person on the other end was speechless for a long time.

"Forget it, that's your freedom, but you have to help me this time. After all, we've known each other for so many years, why don't you do me a small favor?"

K: “…”

"Lin Xu, I really owe you this in my previous life. This is the last time!"

"Good brother, I'll treat you to a meal after this is done."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Xu looked back at the place where Zhou Xubai disappeared, smiled mysteriously, and then left.

In Fu Quezhou's villa, Su Yumian went to take a shower after dinner, and the cell phone he placed on the sofa kept ringing.

Four or five messages popped up in succession, causing Fu Quezhou, who was standing by, to look sideways.

The screen lit up and he glanced at it from a distance. It was a message from a WeChat friend.

He stood up and walked over, and was about to pick up his phone to check when the bathroom door opened.

Su Yumian came out in a bathrobe with wet hair, walked to the sofa and was about to take out her cell phone.

But the hand he extended was grabbed by Fu Quezhou. He was startled for a moment, then heard Fu Quezhou say, "You didn't blow dry your hair before coming out. It's winter now, and you can easily catch a cold even with the heating in the house. Come here and blow dry your hair."

He pulled Su Yumian and sat on the other side, then took out a hair dryer to blow his hair.

The warm wind was blowing, and there was a constant buzzing sound in his ears. Su Yumian sat cross-legged on the carpet with a slight smile on his lips.

But the smile only stayed on his face for a moment before disappearing. These days, Fu Quezhou had been very kind and gentle to him, as if he had become a completely different person, but there was always a hint of uneasiness lingering around him.

"It's done."

Fu Quezhou turned off the hair dryer and tidied up his messy hair. Only then did he realize that Su Yumian's hair needed to be cut as it was covering his eyes.

"Thanks."

Su Yumian stood up, walked to the sofa and wanted to pick up the phone to reply to the message.

This afternoon at the company, someone added him and claimed to be Gao Yujie. He agreed without thinking much.

Now that I think about it, there must be something going on when Gao Yujie called him.

But just as he was about to pick up his phone, Fu Quezhou sat over and hugged him tightly.

Su Yumian was stunned. Why was she hugging him for no reason?

"Zhouzhou?"

"Don't move, let me hold you for a while."

Although he said this, he secretly picked up Su Yumian's phone, opened WeChat, and clicked on the latest message.

The other person's profile picture was a black cat, and the first sentence was: "Teacher Su, I am Gao Yujie."

Su Yumian's reply was: "Gao Yujie? Why did you add me suddenly?"

Then Gao Yujie didn't reply until just now.

Gao Yujie: "Teacher Su, we're planning a camping get-together on the mountaintop before the holiday. Since Teacher Su has taught us before, we'd like to invite her to join us."

Gao Yujie: "Is it okay, Teacher Su?"

Gao Yujie: "We all really want you to come, can you?"

After reading all the messages one by one, Fu Quezhou's face looked a little ugly, and his fingertips rubbed the edge of the phone lightly, but it was not to the point of making him angry.

After exiting the chat interface, long press the chat bar with Gao Yujie, select unread, and then put down the phone.

He let go of Su Yumian and said calmly, "It's getting late, go to bed."

"Oh, you go first, I'll be there soon." As he said that, he picked up his phone and went to the bathroom.

Then he opened WeChat, intending to see if Gao Yujie had replied. As he read through the whole process, he remained silent.

Camping on the top of a mountain?

Will Fu Quezhou agree to let him go?

After thinking for a while, he replied: Let me think about it and give you an answer tomorrow.
