Chapter 47 Senior 14

Jiang Chang looked horrible. At first he could still speak clearly, but as time went on, he seemed to be trapped in some strange hallucination. Even when he hugged the policeman's calf, he still couldn't eliminate the fear in his heart.

He started yelling and struggling to get into the car.

Jiang Xuqing obviously knew the person who came: "Uncle Liu."

The area Uncle Liu is in charge of includes the university town. Even some students who enter higher education institutions still have low quality and morals. Every year, a small number of students are defrauded of money through online scams, sometimes as much as hundreds of thousands of yuan.

Jiang Xuqing exaggerated the recent events on campus and told Uncle Liu about them. Uncle Liu and the others checked Jiang Chang's phone and found a large number of secretly taken private photos in the album. He was immediately furious.

Uncle Liu: "How did he get the injuries?"

Jiang Chang was pinned to the ground by the auxiliary police, yelling, "It's a monster! Monster!"

The wounds on his body did not appear to be caused by human hands.

Jiang Xuqing said at the right moment, "Uncle Liu, I think he knew he was going to be detained, so he's just pretending to be crazy here." She opened her phone and saw the latest reply to the wall post. "His classmates all say he's usually normal. The school recently organized a psychological test, and all his levels are within normal range. How could he suddenly go crazy? He must be trying to evade responsibility!"

Uncle Liu frowned. Although Jiang Chang's wounds looked strange, he knew in his heart that they didn't seem to be caused by the students before him. They were more likely caused by a wild beast... a python? Tanshan was densely forested, and deaths were frequent.

It is unknown whether it crawled over from the river or from somewhere else.

Uncle Liu was a serious and upright middle-aged man who only knew how to scold criminals. He seemed caught off guard when trying to comfort students of the same age as his daughter. He called the female police officer in the car, comforted Wei Jingan and others with a few words, and drove away.

Jiang Xuqing said to Wei Jingan, "Let's leave it at that. Don't dwell on it anymore. The wall poster has a lot of views. I'll post this on the forum when I get back, and I'll follow up with the school leaders. Jiang Chang's behavior is enough to get him expelled, not to mention..." He looked genuinely frightened, not pretending. He didn't feel the pain running through his blood, and he struggled like a maggot on the ground. He stopped talking and said, "Since you know Lin Yanzhou, then I'll leave first?"

Wei Jingan stood up. Her legs had grown weak from squatting for so long, and she stumbled when Lin Yanzhou held her arm. She fell sideways into his arms, her face flushed as she feigned composure and smiled, "Thank you for your help, senior sister. I'm fine now."

After Jiang Xuqing left, Lin Yanzhou never took his hand away from Wei Jingan's arm. He wrapped his palm around her elbow and half-hugged and half-supported her as she walked towards the dormitory.

Wei Jingan tried to pull away, but his force increased: "What's wrong?"

"No, I can walk on my own."

Lin Yanzhou didn't hear it.

Wei Jingan didn't know what to say.

As they approached the dormitory, Wei Jingan gradually adjusted to her pounding heart and asked, "Why did you end up in the woods, Senior?"

Lin Yanzhou walked her to the bottom of the dormitory building without looking away, and said slowly, "I heard a noise and went in to take a look. Jiang Chang was lying in a pool of blood... It almost scared me."

It was calm, and he didn't sound like someone was frightened.

Of course, Wei Jingan was not scared either.

Part of her mind was drawn to the tentacle wrapped around her leg. It clung to her calf listlessly, completely different from the energetic tentacle it had been after tangling with her in the woods. She was a little worried about it, even distracting her from the time she was alone with Lin Yanzhou.

She took a half step back, stood on the steps, and waved: "Senior, don't worry about me. I'm really fine. If it's any later, the school will be closed."

Lin Yanzhou said okay and watched Wei Jingan leave.

…

Back in the dormitory, Wei Jingan was obviously not affected by the sudden incident at night. She answered Li Jingjing's questions with a normal expression. She told her the truth about Jiang Chang and reminded everyone to be careful when going out at night.

The newly established dormitory relationship had obviously been damaged by a trivial matter. Liu Zilin sneered, "If you hadn't been nosy, he wouldn't have retaliated against you."

Li Jingjing had a dark face, while Zhao Meng lay on the bed in confusion, not knowing whether to put on or take off his headphones.

Wei Jingan raised her eyes nonchalantly and recounted the facts: "The consequence of retaliating against me is that I've been detained by the police station. And I met Lin Yanzhou on the way, and he was the one who sent me back."

Liu Zilin suddenly threw back the quilt and glared at her: "Why are you telling me this?!"

Wei Jing'an's face was expressionless, her eyes as gentle as a harmless lamb's, her pupils extremely dark and bright. "It's nothing. I'm not saying this just for you. You can interpret it as bragging, but I hope you can face the reality. Lin Yanzhou and Zhang Wei have nothing to do with each other."

She wanted to say, "He can take me back to the dormitory, and he can also take other girls back to the dormitory," but the words got stuck in her throat, and her mood became depressed.

Ignoring Liu Zilin's groundless rebuttal, Wei Jingan took off her shoes and climbed onto the bed. The air conditioner was on but it wasn't hot in the room, so she covered herself with the quilt. Li Jingjing, with the authority of a dormitory head, demanded that the lights be turned off and silence be maintained.

Li Jingjing said: Don't take Liu Zilin's words to heart, she is a little crazy, I hope she can realize after some time that her recent words were too much.

Wei Jingan replied, "I hope so."

The quilt covered her body, which looked bulging from the outside. She calmly watched the black and red tentacles wriggling towards her. They were thicker than her arms and were not very pretty, but even evil and terrifying.

Tentatively and tremblingly, she extended her fingertips to touch the veins on the soft contact tip.

The cold and sticky liquid, beating with life, moistened her fingertips. The trickling black blood stagnated at the point where her fingertips touched, gradually clogging into a huge abscess-like thing. With a soft touch, the blood resumed its normal flow rate, and it slowly wrapped around Wei Jingan's slender arm.

It's very strange.

I didn't feel disgusted at all.

Wei Jingan thought to herself, what is this thing?

Soft Touch couldn't answer her, it could only try its best to stay close to her body and absorb her warmth while it was still alive. Such a death was what it had always dreamed of.

Wei Jing'an did not feel any malice from the soft touch, so she just let it go and closed her eyes and fell asleep. Late at night, the soft touch slipped into her arms, slid boldly across her lips, and then fell into eternal sleep in her arms.

On the other side, Lin Yanzhou sat high on the windowsill, with tentacles crawling all over the man's body behind him. The wriggling black and red tentacles suddenly trembled, and his cold black pupils stared into the distance.

He pinched his palms hard, staring at the tentacles struggling to reach him, and asked, "Who should I choose this time?"

The terrifying, evil, and ferocious tentacles were as obedient as lambs to be slaughtered in front of him, lying meekly in front of him. Every tentacle, every meridian, and every cell of his wanted to get close to her, touch her, and possess her.

A faint tactile sensation reached his brain. In its final moments of life, it actually did something that drove him crazy. Should he be grateful to it? Or jealous of it? Both.

Clenching his fists, he whispered as if making up his mind, "It's been a long time. She must have been well prepared. She wasn't even afraid of the octopus and boldly cut its tentacles with a knife, not knowing that this would anger it. If she had cut me, I definitely wouldn't be angry...right?"

In response to him, the tentacles squirmed as if for help, eager to be cut off by the owner of the body. Even if blood splattered, they wanted to be by the side of their loved one and enjoy the last intimate moments of life.

His eyes were filled with a burning red, and he looked at his body for a long time, pressing the black veins on his face, restoring his gentle and handsome face, and then murmured: "It's my turn this time."

…

When she woke up in the morning and saw the limp soft touch, Wei Jingan couldn't help but develop a trusting and intimate feeling towards it, but she had to face its death just when these emotions were deepening.

This time I didn't just throw it away like I did the first time, I spent dozens of dollars to buy a potted plant big enough to hold it. This was to serve as its burial place.

Lin Yanzhou's birthday soon arrived, and Wei Jing'an had been racking her brains for days over what birthday gift to give. Not only was there financial woes, but there was also the dilemma of the heart. A gift that was too intimate might be seen as overstepping boundaries.

She finally chose homemade cookies and egg tarts. The day before her birthday, she went to Li Jingjing's home, carefully baked various kinds of cookies, and packed them while they were still hot.

Li Jingjing praised it endlessly: "It's delicious! Jingjing, your cooking skills are great~"

She noticed Wei Jingan's recent abnormality. Now that they were at home, without anyone to disturb them, she asked the question that had been bothering her for a long time: "Jingjing, do you like Lin Yanzhou?"

Unexpectedly, Wei Jingan didn't deny it, but nodded calmly: "Yes."

She said: "I fell in love with him the first time I saw him in high school."

Li Jingjing was shocked: "High school?"

"Yeah," Wei Jing'an said, placing the cookies neatly in a carefully selected tin box. "He came to give a speech at our school. I wasn't feeling well at the time, and he gave me a candy. That's how I remember him... Oh, and it was because of him that I was able to get into Qingdao University. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been so motivated."

Li Jingjing understood Wei Jingan's feelings, but she had her concerns as a friend: "He's very famous in Qingdao University. Even I heard about him in high school. He has a lot of girls pursuing him. Although I didn't see him dating anyone during his four years at university, a family like his should probably arrange a family marriage, right?"

Wei Jingan didn't think that far, but she was still caught up in her thoughts: "Marriage?"

Li Jingjing took her arm and said, "There was a post on the forum about a blind date that was secretly filmed a few months ago. The person she was with was a senior from Gao Lin and Yan Zhou's class. She came from a prominent family and was beautiful... I heard she's even become the boss of a company now!"

"And then?"

"There's no follow-up... You should know Lin Yanzhou better than I do. He's busy with work all day and rarely even comes to school. Besides, there are so many people who have nothing better to do than to create a couple relationship. They're in the same major and both are excellent. It's inexplicable, but I don't think there's anything wrong with it... Actually, a few years ago, these kinds of posts were deleted as soon as they appeared, and many accounts were blocked. A few days ago, when the senior came to school, these posts started popping up again. I can't delete them all."

Li Jingjing held her chin in her hand helplessly: "I really want to experience being chased by people writing gossips about me, but the thought of it makes me feel very annoyed."

Wei Jingan closed the iron box with an unclear expression. Thinking of Lin Yanzhou's gentle smile and his deliberate teasing, she clenched her fingers tightly.

"...What kind of person is Senpai?"

Compared to Zhang Wei, she cares more about the woman who can attend the blind date party with Lin Yanzhou.

How could I not care?

If she were a secret admirer, she would be dejected and cry silently out of inferiority, but she seemed to have fallen into a dead end, and she secretly hoped in her heart - would he want to date her?

Otherwise, why would he invite her to climb a mountain and allow her to sleep in his car with him and his wife in the same room?

He even made a vow to appear by her side immediately if she was in danger.

But...he is so outstanding, maybe it's just out of concern for him as a senior?

Wei Jingan pursed her lips, feeling an urge in her heart to pick up the phone right now and ask him what he thought and what he thought of her.

The iron box in my arms became heavy.

Li Jingjing finally found the post. The blurry photo still couldn't hide the woman's beauty. She was dressed casually and her face was exactly the same cold as Lin Yanzhou's. Her eyebrows were curved but looked gentle.

"I remember now! Her surname is Zhang, and her name is very similar to yours, Zhang Jingshu." Li Jingjing hugged Wei Jingan's arm and murmured, "Jingjing, my senior should also go to Lin Yanzhou's birthday party. You can see her then."

She patted Wei Jingan's arm and said, "Don't be sad. Men like Lin Yanzhou are too cold. Jingjing is as soft-tempered as a lamb and needs a passionate man to pamper her. Senior has a bad temper and is used to being flattered. An ordinary person would suffer if they were together."

Wei Jingan thanked Li Jingjing for her kindness, rested his head on her shoulder and closed his eyes. Finally, the bus arrived at the stop and the two walked towards the dormitory together.

The phone rang, Wei Jingan picked it up and found that it was from Lin Yanzhou.

He said: I'll pick you up tomorrow morning.

His message didn't make Wei Jing'an feel happy, but instead a little resentful. Why did he use such an intimate tone? Was he interested in her or not? She lowered her eyes to stare at the words and turned off the phone screen.

There was no immediate reply.

She had to admit that as their relationship grew closer, in addition to the uncontrollable throbbing and trembling she felt when she was close to him at the beginning, she began to feel other emotions.

Jealousy without any reason or basis.
