Chapter 34 Chapter 34

Midnight was particularly quiet.

The lights from the security room at the school gate dimly illuminated the road, and two figures walked slowly on the road.

"Xibai?"

Gu Chi had slowed down his pace and reduced his stride for the third time, but Xibai still fell behind.

At his usual speed, Xibai should not be unable to keep up.

Thinking of this, Gu Chi immediately stepped forward and stretched out his hand to support the man.

"Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Xibai was stunned for a moment, and then finally seemed to have returned to his body.

"Oh! I, I'm fine." He forced a smile, quickened his pace and walked past Gu Chi, looking back as he walked, "I just ate a little too much, but now I'm fine."

"Then walk slower." Gu Chi said seriously, "I heard that walking too fast after eating can easily cause stomach discomfort."

Xi Bai nodded, "Okay, I understand."

His figure made the light from the distance behind him drag for a long time. Xi Bai stared at the ground in front of him where light and shadow intertwined, and sighed silently.

The panic and lies just now were so clumsy that Xi Bai himself didn't believe them.

But Gu Chi didn't even have the intention to doubt.

He thought of the conversation between the two of them at dinner tonight, and the unreserved trust that Gu Chi had shown him all along.

Xibai pursed his lips and a hint of bitterness spread out.

He was actually very conflicted.

Should he give it a try?

He was afraid that Gu Chi was not a human being, and if he didn't try, there would always be a thorn in his heart.

But he was also conflicted. If he tried, would he feel that he had let down Gu Chi's honesty and trust in him.

In the end, it was Zhuang Suan's news that made Xibai determined.

[The God of Calculation: Xibao, I've got it, bring Gu Chi here quickly]

The situation became like an arrow on a string that had to be shot. No matter how conflicted Xibai was, he couldn't say to Zhuang Suan, "Forget it, let's not try it."

"Gu Chi."

"Yeah, I'm here."

Xi Bai clenched his fingers hanging at his side. He couldn't even turn around to face Gu Chi's eyes, which were very clear even at night, revealing his inner honesty and trust without reservation. He

smiled softly, trying to make his voice sound normal and relaxed, and Xi Bai raised his hand to rub his stomach.

"Let's go for a walk on the hillside. I think I really ate a little too much."

Xi Bai walked in front, his mind was still a mess of confused thoughts. He was very worried about the results of the compass test.

If Gu Chi is not, it would be the best, but if he is found out by the other party, how should he explain it?

But what if he is?

If he is, how should they get along with each other?

If Gu Chi is asked to leave, will he cooperate?

Or move out by himself?

Endless questions rushed into Xibai's mind like snowflakes with a chain reaction.

When he heard "Xibai" from behind, he subconsciously straightened his back.

Did Gu Chi find out?

But Xibai was finally pulled back two steps by Gu Chi.

The tall boy looked down at him with concern in his eyes.

"Don't walk too fast because your stomach is bulging."

Xibai realized that he had unknowingly increased his pace too fast. He

was walking slowly just now, but now he was rushing forward. Even Xibai felt that he had exposed his thoughts too obviously.

But Gu Chi didn't seem to want to ask more questions.

"The entrance is just ahead." He glanced at the raised hillside and the trees over there, "Do you want to walk there? In fact, if you want to take a walk, it will be more comfortable and safer on the school road."

Xi Baihe didn't know.

But how could he explain to Gu Chi that I was trying to trick you and test your identity.

So, he could only say: "I want to go in and take a look. I heard that a lot of plum blossoms have bloomed in the flower garden recently."

The rockery is actually similar to the school's flower garden. Different flowers bloom in different seasons, and the homework of students from the Agricultural College is also planted in it.

"Okay, then you walk slower."

Gu Chi didn't ask any more questions, and Xi Bai also quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

He was too nervous, so he ignored the fact that the tall boy next to him had unknowingly walked half a body in front of him after asking him.

When Gu Chi retracted his gaze and cast it into the distance again, his eyes suddenly sank and a hint of murderous intent flashed across his eyes. He

frowned and scanned the surroundings, but found nothing.

He pursed his lips and stood closer to Xi Bai quietly.

[The Divine Calculator: Go to the pool, where the core of the magic circle is. You just need to stick the talisman paper I gave you on the compass and observe the changes in the compass needle]

[The Divine Calculator: The needle will emit a red light when it encounters a ghost. When it points to the direction of the ghost, the needle tip will tremble]

After reading the text instructions sent by Zhuang Suan, Xi Bai put his phone in his pocket and the back of his hand touched the compass, which was slightly cool.

The talisman paper has been folded and placed on the cuffs for easy removal at any time.

Xibai looked at the figure a few steps in front of him and called him to stop.

"The plum blossom forest seems to be over there by the pond."

He pointed to a signpost in the shadows. The tip of the sign pointed to a stone path leading deep into the forest.

Gu Chi looked in the direction of Xibai's finger, but his feet did not move.

"...What's wrong?"

Xibai felt guilty again. Could it be that Gu Chi felt that the village had set up a formation over there?

"No." Gu Chi said.

His voice was slightly different from usual, a little deeper.

"Xibai."

"...Hmm?"

"Stay away from me, come closer."

Gu Chi's eyes were fixed on the cobblestone road that stretched forward and finally disappeared into the shadows, but he heard a sentence coming from behind him a moment later.

"Are you scared?"

Scared?

Gu Chi turned around and saw a pair of eyes that were round and bright in the darkness. There was

a little smile in those eyes, but more of curiosity. Xi Bai stared at him, his head slightly tilted to the right - just like the action that Gu Chi himself often did.

So the words that came to his mouth changed.

"It's too late, the road is a little dark."

That means fear.

Xi Bai secretly confirmed his guess in his heart, suppressed his smile, and hummed softly, "Then let's get closer."
