Chapter 26
There was an incident where someone jumped off a building in the neighborhood, but Bai Siyu didn’t mention it after he got in the car.
But Shepherd Candle was not unaware.
He was already prepared to ask his assistant to find a new house.
The reason why I rented this house in the first place was because Bai Siyu was still under the influence of evil magic at that time. Now that the problem has been solved - even if he hasn't fully recovered, he can move to a better house.
Thinking this, Mu Changzhu raised his hand and handed Bai Siyu a brand new blue thermos cup.
Bai Siyu said "Hmm?"
"Long candle, is this for me?"
"For the exam." Shepherd Candle patiently added, "You probably don't have a cup at home that you can take to the exam room."
"No." But he hadn't thought about this. After all, even if he was thirsty, he could just endure it and it would pass.
The Shepherd Candle is so thoughtful!
Bai Siyu happily unpacked the cup as the black stretched Lincoln sped along the increasingly wide road.
In order to reward Bai Siyu for his hard work over the past few days, Mu Changzhu specially asked Du Wu to book a very private Chinese restaurant with a landscape courtyard style.
The location is a bit remote, but the environment is quiet and relaxing, the food is very good and famous, and most of the customers there are of some status, so there won't be the kind of onlookers that bothers Bai Siyu.
Passing by Xiaoyue Home Cooking on the way, Bai Siyu happened to glance outside when she finished unpacking the cup. She was shocked to find that at this time, the restaurant was still bustling with people and brightly lit.
It's completely different from the last time they came!
As if he could see Bai Siyu's shock, Mu Changzhu smiled and said, "This little shop has become very popular. Two days ago, the proprietress received a bravery award and 20,000 yuan in cash from the Beijing Municipal Government."
"Wow, that's great."
Bai Siyu was quite happy to see this, after all, the proprietress Sister Yue was really nice.
But he didn't know that Sister Yue had become his loyal fan. Whenever she found him praising Bai Siyu during meals, she would give him a small pudding dessert.
As a result, after this matter was gradually discovered, Xiaoyue Home Cooking almost became a gathering place for Bai Siyu to brag.
Du Wu sat silently in the front passenger seat, feeling very upset.
His treasured little restaurant will no longer belong to him alone!
Since implementing the "Ten-Day Sprint Plan", Bai Siyu has not played with his mobile phone again.
He finally got out to relax today. After he unpacked the cup and put it in his backpack, he itched and checked his social media account.
Then I was shocked to find that his number of fans has exceeded three million!
There are even more people sending him private messages @him.
"Master Bai, can you help me calculate? I don't know whether to choose to study for a master's degree or to work. Now I have an offer from a big company and I have been admitted to the graduate school of CUHK. I don't know how to choose! [crying]"
"Master Bai, Master Bai, I really want to know whether Tang Duoduo has been cursed or not. Can you please reply to me? [Love]"
"Master Bai, this is the house I'm planning to buy [picture] [picture], can you help me take a look at the feng shui? If it's good, I'll take it!"
"Master Bai, after I broke up with my ex-boyfriend, I realized that I had always loved him. But now I want to get back together with him but he disagrees. I beg you to help me make him change his mind, okay? I'll give you money, up to 50,000 yuan is fine, because I only have 50,000 yuan. Please help me! [crying][crying][crying]"
"......"
Bai Siyu: “…”
No, the news about Tang Duoduo hasn’t completely cooled down for you yet, but you’ve come to Love Brain to ask him to help you “perform a ritual”?
So this news has no effect at all on the love brain? ! !
Bai Siyu continued to read down.
"Master Bai, my wife is pregnant. Can you help me calculate whether it is a boy or a girl? I will give you 200 yuan."
"Bai Siyu, are you a scumbag? You are being kept but you are so self-righteous and still go around marketing. Aren't you disgusting? Qin Zhi is a hundred times better than you. He will definitely come back!"
"Little boy, do you need money? The Qin family is not good enough to you, but your uncle is good to you. How about 30,000 yuan a month? Your uncle will support you. Attached picture [Obscene selfie photo]"
Bai Siyu couldn't bear it anymore.
grass.
There is so much variety on the Internet!
Seeing Bai Siyu's expression change from calm to speechless and then to an expression as if he had eaten shit, Mu Changzhu coughed lightly twice.
"Are you going back to school tomorrow to get your admission ticket... or do you have other plans? If you have other plans, I'll ask Du Wu to get it for you."
Bai Siyu casually replied to the person who asked whether Tang Duoduo had been cursed or not, then exited the app.
"I'll go back to school. I haven't been back for a long time."
Old troublemaker Du Wu was also quite embarrassed.
While the two were chatting idly, they arrived at the restaurant where they had reserved a table.
Once you enter the gate, you will see winding paths leading to secluded areas with pavilions and terraces scattered everywhere.
I didn't expect the environment of this restaurant to be so nice. Bai Siyu suddenly became interested and completely forgot all the messy remarks he had just seen.
He had no idea that these two simple words had caused another round of public opinion storm.
The netizen who received the reply was so excited that he took a screenshot and posted it on the account homepage.
"Ahhh everyone, come and look, Master Bai has replied to me, Tang Duoduo has not been cursed, no!!!"
A number of comments quickly gathered under his post.
"Wow, envy, jealousy and hatred, why didn't Master Bai reply to me? I also asked the same question..."
"So Tang Duoduo is just simply out of her mind. How disgusting! So Ji-woo is so miserable! What did she do to be friends with her for 20 years?"
"Twenty years of friendship is no match for a rotten man, is that true? Bai Siyu may not be right about everything she says, right?"
"Although, being friends for a long time doesn't mean that two people will get along. Fifteen or sixteen of their twenty years of friendship were spent in school, so there was little chance of a real conflict. It's obvious that Tang Duoduo's brain isn't normal once he falls in love and gets married. People like him are usually not clearly seen until after the age of twenty-five or thirty."
"So it's Tang Duoduo's good fortune that she's despised by everyone now. Just like that pregnant woman who helped her husband rape a high school student, she deserves to be nailed to the pillar of shame! [Tu][Tu][Tu]"
"Don't be too careless. I wonder if she is truly sorry now!"
"I don't think so. Hasn't she been making excuses and even giving false testimony in various interviews and even in front of the police? She didn't even apologize sincerely when facing Su Zhiyou's parents!"
"......"
The popularity of entries related to Tang Duoduo surged again.
Tang Duoduo, who had been lurking in front of the screen and staring at all kinds of comments these days, was also watching all this at this moment. His slightly bulging eyes moved excitedly with the refreshed comments, revealing faint red bloodshot.
"Bai Siyu, Bai Siyu... Bai Siyu again! Why doesn't Bai Siyu just die - bang!"
Tang Duoduo's eyes turned red and he smashed the tablet in his hand hysterically.
She gasped excitedly and felt her vision go dark.
If it weren't for Bai Siyu, she wouldn't have ended up like a rat crossing the street, being chased by everyone!
If Bai Siyu hadn't meddled in other people's business, the proprietress wouldn't be alive, and neither would Su Zhiyou. If they were all dead, no one would expose her. How could she be in the situation she is in now, where she would be scolded even for going out to buy instant noodles, and would be afraid of being beaten if she didn't cover up the truth!
——Of course, she didn’t want Su Zhiyou to die before.
Moreover, she originally felt a little guilty towards Su Ji-woo who was burned to such a tragic state.
But now, what is she feeling guilty about? !
She knew Su Zhiyou's abilities. Although those press releases were under Ji Fangfang's name, it was clearly Su Zhiyou who taught her step by step. Su Zhiyou manipulated public opinion step by step and even deliberately released that live recording later, which was basically to destroy her reputation!
Su Ji-woo didn't care about her feelings and treated her like this, and he still wanted her to apologize sincerely?
Su Ji-woo has no shame.
She had good intentions at the beginning. She wanted to become lifelong best friends and sisters-in-law with So Ji-woo. You have to know that although Liu Cheng and Liu Weixin are a little worse off and a little more patriarchal, their family structure is very stable. Such people will never divorce their wives in their lifetime. As long as So Ji-woo listens to her, he can have a truly stable family.
With the divorce rate so high now, it would have been fine if Su Zhiyou didn't appreciate her feelings at all, and it would have angered Xin Ge, but in the end, Su Zhiyou actually wanted to completely destroy her and make her infamous.
How can she survive in this society in the future? ! !
The more Tang Duoduo thought about it, the angrier he became. He stepped on the flat board on the ground excitedly, wishing he could step on Bai Siyu's account as if it were Bai Siyu himself.
But he accidentally stepped on the edge, slipped, and fell backwards to the ground.
My eyes went dark instantly.
......That's why they say good people don't live long, but bad people die for a thousand years.
Tang Duoduo fainted for a few minutes, then he climbed up with a grimace on his face, and then he heard regular knocks on the door.
“Knock, knock, knock…”
Tang Duoduo's heart shuddered, like a frightened bird, and he was so scared that he wanted to hide in the bedroom, but soon he heard a sound coming from outside.
"Hello, I know you are in there, don't be afraid, I am here to cooperate with you."
Tang Duoduo didn't move, she didn't believe it.
The voice outside came again: "Don't be afraid, I have a grudge against your enemy too, I really want to help you, but I will only come to you this time, if you don't show up, then I will leave, but - I can tell you frankly, the opportunity will never come again, miss this time... you won't have a chance to turn things around again. Although you don't have to go to jail, it must be very uncomfortable to be a rat crossing the street and everyone shouting and beating it, right?"
"You, who are you?!" Tang Duoduo asked tentatively, "Tell me who you are first, then I can decide whether to open the door for you!"
"I'm Uncle Die, you should know me." A sneer came from outside, "When those netizens scolded you these days, they should have mentioned me, right?"
Tang Duoduo was stunned and suddenly remembered.
She seemed to have seen some comments about Uncle Diao.
That is to say, Uncle Die claimed that he was fighting against fake news for a just reason, but in fact he was deliberately finding fault and insulting Bai Siyu, and even inciting fans to expose Bai Siyu online. As a result, Bai Siyu figured out that the three children were not her biological children. He lost all his face and lost a large number of fans.
Some people even found out that Uncle Die was instructed by the Qin family, so Uncle Die's reputation is not much better now.
It was her news that saved Uncle Die and absorbed most of the criticism, otherwise Uncle Die would definitely be scolded even more severely than he is now!
"What kind of cooperation do you want to discuss with me?!" Tang Duoduo looked unfriendly.
She didn't believe that a man like Uncle Die could have any good intentions.
"I came to you to help us redeem our reputations. It's that simple. I won't let you kill or burn anyone, and I won't ask you to pay anything. If you really don't believe it, forget it."
Uncle Die stopped talking and made a move to leave.
Sure enough, the next second after he turned around, the tightly closed door opened.
Tang Duoduo revealed one eye with bloodshot eyes.
"Then let's talk."
Uncle Die smiled and walked in.
......
That night, Bai Siyu had a delicious dinner and a good sleep.
The feeling of sleeping through the next day without having to memorize a damn list of knowledge...
Simply don't be too comfortable!
It was eight o'clock when Bai Siyu got out of bed, heated up the green pepper beef tenderloin cheese pie he brought from the restaurant last night, boiled two eggs, and added a bottle of milk.
Then he happily picked up his schoolbag and went downstairs to take the bus.
It is about 20 kilometers from this community to his high school, and he has to change buses three times. Yesterday, Pastor Zhu wanted Du Wu to send him off, but he refused.
He just wanted to stroll around by himself and go for a walk after getting his admission ticket.
It was already ten o'clock when Bai Siyu arrived at the school, but today was the last day before the college entrance examination and the school classes had stopped a long time ago. Except for a small number of boarding students who were moved to the cafeteria or dormitory to review, all others who wanted to go home had already gone home.
When Bai Siyu arrived at the office, the corridor was almost empty.
"It's actually cat abuse. What a beast! The three kittens were almost skinned! There was blood all over them. It takes a very vicious person to do such a thing."
"Yeah, it was so scary, I didn't even dare to watch it. I turned off the news before I even finished reading it..."
Two teachers were busy working and chatting in the office, with the latest local news pushed to them on their phones this morning.
“Knock, knock.”
Until Bai Siyu's knock on the door awakened the two teachers.
When Liu Songyu saw the door, he quickly turned off his phone and stood up and said, "Come in."
Bai Siyu pushed open the door.
"Teacher, I'm here to get my admission ticket."
"It's Bai Siyu, come here quickly, everything is here, the admission ticket, the exam bag issued by the school, and the volunteer application reference book issued by the Education Department."
Liu Songyu picked up an oversized transparent file bag with white diagonal grids and handed it to Bai Siyu with a half-smile.
To be honest, what happened these days made her a little unsure about how to face this student.
She had never deliberately criticized Bai Siyu before, but she did look at Bai Siyu with some prejudice, because the overall public opinion and the feedback from her visits to the Qin family gave her the same feeling -
This student has a bad feeling and neither his classmates nor their parents like him.
Sometimes she even disliked him a little when she saw him quietly doing his homework in the corner of the classroom.
I can’t say why, but I feel a subconscious disgust in my heart.
But when the truth about the public opinion came out these days, God knows how sad and self-blaming she was.
She regretted not paying enough attention to this student before.
Bai Siyu could tell at a glance what the teacher in front of him was thinking, but he didn't mind or care.
In that kind of public opinion atmosphere and with such influence, it was normal for him to be disliked.
This teacher is just an ordinary person.
"Thank you, teacher. I'm leaving now." Bai Siyu thanked him obediently, turned around and left the office.
Liu Songyu opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end, nothing came out. Finally, he watched Bai Siyu close the office door and leave, and he slapped his mouth in anxiety.
I clearly wanted to wish him good luck in the exam.
Bai Siyu had just left the office with his exam bag and volunteer reference book when he bumped into a man who was rushing towards him.
The man was so anxious that he was sweating all over. He acted as if he didn't see him. He didn't apologize after bumping into him and rushed straight into the office at the end of the corridor.
As soon as he rushed in, he shouted, "Oh no, teacher, Xue Xinzhen is missing!"
Liu Songyu was originally feeling upset, but now his face changed completely and he almost exploded.
"What? Xue Xinzhen is missing? When did he disappear?! Explain yourself clearly!"
"Just...just when I returned to the dormitory last night, Xue Xinzhen said that his parents had left something for him in the guard room at the school gate, and he would be back later because he went to get it. I was not feeling well last night and went to bed early, so I didn't notice when he came back. But when I woke up at around nine in the morning, he was not in the dormitory. I called to ask where he was, but I couldn't get through. I was a little worried, so I called his parents, but his parents said that they didn't send him anything last night!"
Zhu Nan took a deep breath.
"Then I felt something was wrong, so I went to ask the dormitory supervisor. The supervisor took me to check the surveillance, and I found that Xue Xinzhen did not come back last night!"
Boom——
Liu Songyu felt like her head was about to explode.
The college entrance examination is coming soon, and the school year is about to end. Suddenly, a missing student appears.
This is going to kill her!
"Don't worry, have you called the police?!"
Liu Songyu tried her best to calm down, and to comfort Zhu Nan was also to comfort herself.
"I haven't, but I don't know whether Xue Xinzhen's parents have called the police..."
Zhu Nan was breathing heavily.
Liu Songyu was so anxious that her ears were ringing. She tried her best to calm down and said, "I'll check the surveillance in the guard room. If it's not right, I'll call the police. Zhu Nan, you should go back to the dormitory and review first."
Liu Songyu said this and hurried out of the office. Just as she ran breathlessly to the guard room at the school gate, she saw a tall and thin boy staggering towards her from a distance.
Take a closer look -
Isn’t it Xue Xinzhen!
Liu Songyu burst into tears in an instant, and rushed over like a madman, grabbed Xue Xinzhen and shouted: "Xue Xinzhen, where did you go last night? The college entrance examination is coming soon, why did you run away! Don't you know that you will--"
Liu Songyu's voice stopped abruptly. She stared at the bloodstains on Xue Xinzhen's hands and clothes, and her throat tightened.
"What's with the blood? Are you hurt?"
"I'm fine, I'm fine, teacher. I was just hit by an electric bike when I came back this morning and got a little scratched."
Xue Xinzhen's eyes were terribly bright, with a somewhat evil smile in them.
"But that guy fell harder than me. This is all his blood."
Liu Songyu inexplicably felt that the student in front of him was a little strange, but he didn't think much about it. He couldn't help but scold him, "Hurry up and go back to school with the teacher. Don't run around. There's no exam tomorrow, right? It's almost the college entrance examination, and you're still running around!"
"I didn't run around, teacher. I just felt too stressed last night and wanted to buy some egg tarts that I like to eat to relieve my mood. Then I fell asleep while eating at KFC."
Xue Xinzhen looked innocent.
"Falling asleep in KFC...Aren't you afraid of catching a cold? You guys really make me worry all the time."
Liu Songyu grabbed Xue Xinzhen's wrist and took him back to school.
However, the inside of her palm felt very prickly. When she exerted force, it felt like something like a thorn had cut her palm open.
She hissed, but didn't let go.
Xue Xinzhen smiled and suddenly spoke.
"Teacher, do you still remember Qin Zhi?"
Liu Songyu was stunned: "What?"
Qin Zhi? Which Qin Zhi?
If it was the one from the Qin family in the news a few days ago, then he was not her student.
It's from the art class.
But Xue Xinzhen didn't seem to want to hear her answer. He just showed the figure eight bracelet on his wrist and grinned.
"Does this bracelet look good, teacher?"
