As a fake half-demon, Yue Jiuling feels that living in the human realm is actually pretty good. However, this is only true if she can retrieve her original body and separated soul. There's no c...
After a strange group of monsters and humans finished their late-night snack at a food stall, they slowly separated and dispersed.
That night, when Mu Xiaoyi returned to her dormitory, she found that her roommate was still asleep in bed, seemingly unaware that she had gone out, so she didn't pay much attention and went to rest.
But after she fell asleep, her roommate got up and secretly went out for a while.
When classes started in the morning, Mu Xiaoyi was called to the office by one of her female teachers. The teacher looked at Mu Xiaoyi with a serious expression and asked her, "Mu, are you and Lily on good terms?"
When Mu Xiaoyi heard the teacher suddenly ask her this question, she was stunned for a moment. Although she didn't know what the teacher's purpose was in asking the question, she could guess that the teacher probably didn't just want to ask her casually about her relationship with her roommate.
So she answered honestly, "Teacher, I just transferred here and I don't know anyone very well yet."
The teacher's expression didn't change much after hearing Mu Xiaoyi's answer; she simply said, "Oh, so the relationship is just so-so."
"Yes, that's right. May I ask what brings you here, teacher?"
Mu Xiaoyi asked, looking completely bewildered.
"It's like this, didn't Lily suddenly lose her voice for three days a few days ago? Lily said that you and she don't have a good relationship in private, so she suspects that you did something to her."
"And then?" Upon hearing the teacher's words, Mu Xiaoyi immediately feigned shock and said, "No way! How could Lily suspect me? Why would I treat her like that? Her becoming mute has nothing to do with me. Teacher, you must investigate this thoroughly and not wrongly accuse me!"
Seeing Mu Xiaoyi's aggrieved but not panicked expression, the female teacher had no choice but to say, "Well then, Lily said that you left the dormitory after lights out last night and didn't come back for a long time. Can you tell me what you were doing there?"
"Um, well, I went to the rooftop last night to call my boyfriend. The call lasted a bit long, which is why I got back to the dorm so late."
Mu Xiaoyi lied without batting an eye, frowning as she said, "Teacher, you wouldn't just suspect me like that, would you? Why would I want to harm Lily?"
Hearing Mu Xiaoyi's words, the female teacher looked a little troubled. She said, "You know how big a fuss it caused when Lily lost her voice, so we wanted to ask you about it. How about this, Lily just asked me to let us search your luggage. If you're willing to come back to the dormitory with us and open your luggage in front of everyone until we find nothing strange, then this matter will be over."
Upon hearing her teacher's words, Mu Xiaoyi immediately felt that this was too illogical. Even if they suspected her of doing something, shouldn't they call the police? Why would they search her luggage?
Just as Mu Xiaoyi was about to protest, the female teacher pressed down on Mu Xiaoyi's shoulder and whispered, "Student, I know this is difficult for you, but Lily's uncle is the director of XX bureau. So, well, please cooperate. Actually, I'm in a difficult position too."
After finishing her explanation, the teacher glanced around and, seeing that only the two of them were in the office, continued, "Let me tell you a secret, this Lily is no simple character. If you haven't done it, just let her search you openly. She suspects you drugged her, but I believe you. However, some people at school have offended Lily before and got punished, so I'm worried about you."
Seeing the teacher's concerned look, Mu Xiaoyi understood that Lily had such a powerful background; no wonder she dared to ask the teacher to search her luggage.
However, Mu Xiaoyi also had some ideas in mind, so she nodded and said, "Okay, I understand, teacher."
"Okay, let's go out now, and we'll go to the dorm together later."
"good."
After realizing that the teacher actually wanted to help her, Mu Xiaoyi smiled and went back to the classroom to tell Ye Dongfeng about it.
Upon hearing this, Ye Dongfeng was instantly stunned. He exclaimed, "No way! The school is like this?"
"Yeah, I never expected my roommate to be so amazing!"
Mu Xiaoyi packed her things and then said with a smile, "I suddenly want to keep playing, what should I do?"
Ye Dongfeng smiled, nodded with a "I support you" look, and said, "Then let's keep playing, I support you~"
"Okay, let's play until it's time for us to leave?"
"Ding-ling-ling~" The bell rang for class. While the students were getting ready for class, Mu Xiaoyi went to the girls' dormitory with her roommate and the teacher.
"Lily, how could you doubt me like that? We may not be very close, but we don't have any deep-seated hatred for each other, do we? How could you think of me like that?"
After returning to the dormitory, Mu Xiaoyi took out all her luggage and let the teacher and Lili search it. While pretending to be aggrieved, she secretly reached behind her back and made a hand gesture.
After gaining the right to search Mu Xiaoyi's luggage, Lily was quite smug. She snorted and said, "Hmph, it's no use pretending anymore. I was silenced for three days for no reason, and we even had a fight the day before. Who else could be targeting me but you? It must be you! You must have done something to me secretly!"
