Chapter 379: Surprise! Qin Xiaoyi becomes a classmate
Such a weird person, who practices witchcraft and incantations, and is either possessing spirits or traveling through time, it would be a lie for Ye Xiaomei to say that she is not afraid of such a person.
Qin Xiaoyi just smiled and looked away. Only then did Ye Xiaomei realize that sweat was oozing out of her back.
School ended early in the afternoon, and because we had a test in each classroom during the last class, we used the time to draw lots to get numbers.
As soon as school was over, Shang Zhen and Ye Xiaomei walked side by side and looked around.
Opening the note, Ye Xiaomei said, "I'm No. 12 in Class 2-3, Junior High School. What about you?"
"I'm No. 3 in Class 1, Grade 9. Damn it, it's closer to the podium." Shang Zhen rubbed his head and threw it directly into the trash can.
"Why? Are you still worried that it will interfere with your cheating?" Ye Xiaomei looked at her with a smile.
Shang Zhen was straightforward: "That would require a chance to cheat, but the most important thing is that I don't like being watched by the invigilator."
Back at the rental house, Shang Zhen threw off his shoes and lay on the bed, rubbing his belly: "Xiao Mei, why don't we go eat hot pot? I have an exam tomorrow, so I have to relax. Especially when I think of the feeling of the steaming hot pot, I don't feel cold anymore."
It’s hard to say. We have a hot pot restaurant right at home, so we can go whenever we want.
It was snowing heavily when I went out, and the pedestrians on the road became blurry for a moment. I finally stopped a taxi, but the driver wanted to take this opportunity to make more money, so he took a ride with a carpooler.
This should cost at least two cents, Ye Xiaomei thought.
Before she even raised her opinion, the passenger in the front passenger seat was dissatisfied: "I can pay double the price and ask them to get off the bus."
The voice was deep and rich, with a hint of a cold accent.
Ye Xiaomei's pupils shrank. The voice sounded so familiar. She subconsciously looked towards the rearview mirror, hoping to see the uncle's appearance.
He was wearing a popular Mao suit and a plaid scarf around his neck, which covered the lower half of his face tightly. He also had glasses on his eyes, which reflected the light in the rearview mirror, so his appearance could not be seen clearly.
The driver wanted to make money, but the two routes were different. Since the passenger was willing to pay double, he would not keep Ye Xiaomei:
"My two classmates, why don't you go and stop other cars? You can see that I'm in a difficult situation."
Ye Xiaomei had to get off the car. Shang Zhen never liked this kind of loss: "You are crazy about money, right? It's not a big deal to have money. I'll give you three..."
Ye Xiaomei quickly pulled her out and closed the car door:
"Shang Zhen, let's walk forward and wait for the bus."
"Why are you pulling me in? I just can't stand people like this who are so arrogant just because they have a few bucks. Pah, they are just like my dad."
Although Shang Zhen was not convinced, he had no intention of continuing to pester Ye Xiaomei as she was being held back.
Ye Xiaomei walked a few steps and turned back consciously, only to see that the taxi showed no sign of starting.
Until a female classmate in a heavy space suit ran out of the school in a hurry and opened the car door wearing woolen gloves that didn't have any fingers.
Qin Xiaoyi got into the car by himself.
Ye Xiaomei's heart dropped to the ground with a thud. She felt that she had heard it right. The man's voice sounded especially like the voice of the man Qin Rong called the boss.
As soon as Qin Xiaoyi got in the car, he couldn't wait to say, "That's Ye Xiaomei."
The man in the passenger seat suddenly raised his head and looked through the windshield.
"What are you looking at? Don't you think what I said is right? Doesn't it look like that old man Liang Zhenghuai?"
There was no response to Shang Zhen's words, so she had to pull Ye Xiaomei. Seeing that she had just withdrawn her gaze from behind her, Shang Zhen added:
"What are you looking at?"
Ye Xiaomei frowned and shook her head slowly. Just as she was about to speak, there was a squeak.
The taxi that made a U-turn suddenly stopped beside us.
The rear window rolled down to reveal Qin Xiaoyi's face. She smiled and said, "Where are you going? Do you want me to give you a ride?"
Ye Xiaomei still subconsciously wanted to see the person in the front passenger seat clearly, but unfortunately the snow was so heavy that even the car windows were covered with a layer of snow, so she couldn't see anything.
Ye Xiaomei was just about to say that they were going to a hot pot restaurant so that she would have the chance to get in the car and take a thorough look at what this man looked like.
Shang Zhen pulled Ye Xiaomei over and said with a smile, "No need, let's go for a walk."
Qin Xiaoyi waved her hands, watching the taillights disappear into the vast snow, and Shang Zhen muttered:
"What if she wants to eat hot pot with me? I still have some shadows on Qin Xiaoyi. I'm afraid I won't be able to eat well. Besides, she's so weird. I'm afraid I'll vomit even if I eat it."
Ye Xiaomei nodded without any reluctance. After all, it was normal for Shang Zhen, who had a normal mental state and didn't know medicine, to be frightened.
Ye Xiaomei thought that this person would definitely look for Qin Xiaoyi again. She would have plenty of opportunities to see his appearance in the future. If he came in a forceful way, it would be too abrupt. It would be a good thing not to be in a hurry.
Thinking of this, Ye Xiaomei felt relieved and changed the topic to chat: "Shang Zhen, I noticed that Wang Chunlu cured the difficult and complicated diseases this time. Why is there no movement in our school?"
Shang Zhen took his hands out of his pockets, lit a cigarette with his hands trembling from the cold, and quickly put them back into his pockets, saying with a look of disgust:
"It's just that it's mostly spread in private. Since you don't live on campus, you naturally can't hear those discussions. Anyway, no one believes that Wang Chunlu can cure diseases, even those people in Class 2 of Grade 9 in the next dormitory don't believe it.
Let alone them, I don't believe it. I guess Wang Chunlu also wanted to show off that day. She wore a newly bought space suit when school started on Monday. She thought that her classmates would be extra enthusiastic about her when they knew about it, but no one paid any attention to her. Even her roommates in her own dormitory kept silent when they saw her coming.
You have no idea how angry she was that day. I just happened to go to their dormitory to gossip. I was too embarrassed to stay there. "
Ye Xiaomei did not reply. Wang Chunlu would indeed give people an arrogant look unconsciously sometimes, especially when she would unconsciously roll her eyes at others or talk to them with her nose shrugged, which was really a bit annoying.
Shang Zhen became more and more enthusiastic as he spoke. He took a big drag on the last half of the cigarette butt, threw it into the snow and twisted it hard:
"As for me, even if I gave her some face and believed her, what she knows is not proper medical skills. At most, it is witchcraft, just like the fortune-teller in our hometown."
Witchcraft? Ye Xiaomei glanced at Shang Zhen. This guy could say anything for one reason: she would only slander people she disliked. If she really met a good person, her attitude would change 180 times.
"So what you mean is that you think it was her doing to turn Qin Rong into Qin Xiaoyi?"
Shang Zhen frowned: "That's what I really think. Think about it, their house is so big, there is plenty of room for Qin Xiaoyi, why would she put it in the basement? I think she just wants to perform some magic there to avoid being discovered."
Well, Ye Xiaomei couldn’t tell Shang Zhen all her guesses right now. Even if she did, Shang Zhen might not understand. But what she said made sense.
Maybe she really knows some witchcraft. Even if she does, it should be what Qin Rong taught her before he was reborn. He also most likely promised her a place in the exam for higher grades and admission to HKUST.
Otherwise, why would she provoke Ye Xiaomei so blatantly? She had never sinned against Wang Chunlu.
As they were talking, they arrived at the hot pot restaurant unknowingly.
It doesn't matter at this glance, business is booming.
