Chapter 47
It was already evening and almost time for dinner. On the way back to Yard No. 3 from Yard No. 2, there was no one else to be seen except Su Yin and Xie Lingxu.
So no one saw that the young master, who had never been defeated in the sanatorium, stared at the dean's back and gritted his teeth, and from time to time he grabbed a few handfuls of roadside leaves and trampled them as if they were someone's hands.
Just a few minutes ago, when they had just walked out of Yard No. 2, this person suddenly quickened his pace. He was originally lagging behind her, but now he was ahead of her and had a long distance between them.
Su Yin jogged to catch up with him, but this man relied on his long legs and refused to let her catch up no matter what.
It was as if they treated her as some kind of infectious virus and stayed away from her at all costs.
So the previous scene appeared.
Suyin Tuanba Tuanba held the leaves in a mess in his hands, but he still felt unsatisfied, so he simply decided not to leave and found a pavilion to sit down and calm down.
She was afraid that if she continued to follow him, she would get so angry that she would pounce on him and hit him.
Who would have thought that the man who had been avoiding her like the plague just now would also stop after noticing the lack of footsteps behind him, and called out to her from a distance: "Go back, it's time to eat."
His tone was normal, as if nothing had happened just now.
Hearing Su Yin stand up again just after she sat down, she wanted to throw all the broken leaves in her hand on his face.
"Don't worry, Dean."
She was angry and couldn't help but say sarcastically, "Why, am I sick? Are you afraid of getting infected from so far away?"
Recalling some of her past experiences, Su Yin became more and more excited. "Since it has come to this, why not move out of Courtyard No. 3? Otherwise, if you really get sick in the future, you won't have to blame me."
"No." Xie Lingxu interrupted her angry words filled with mockery and denied it straightforwardly.
But he didn't take any action, still standing far away, as if his feet had taken root.
"Really?" Su Yin scoffed at his words even more after seeing this. "Then the dean has finally realized that if he gets close to evil people like us, he'll be stabbed in the back and die?"
It was inevitable that the evil ones would not be welcomed. This had happened too many times. No matter how similar their personalities were or how pleasant the conversation was, those people would treat her as a monster and the witch Huo Yan after knowing her true identity. Su Yin had long since stopped caring.
But when this happened to Xie Lingxu, it was extremely unbearable, as if there was a thorn in her heart that she couldn't ignore, making her want to beat him up to vent her anger.
The thought turned over in my mind, but in the end I didn't turn it into action, so I could only poke him with words.
"No." Xie Lingxu sighed and slowly walked in front of Su Yin.
Just as I took two steps closer, I heard her cold, mocking voice, "Why are you coming closer to me? Aren't you afraid that I might do something ruthless to you?"
She is like a hedgehog, with sharp spines all over her body. She looks like a prickly creature, but she makes people feel soft-hearted for no reason.
"I don't regard you as a source of infectious disease, nor do I regard you as a monster." Xie Lingxu repeated it again. At this moment, he stopped at the bottom of the stairs and looked at Su Yin at eye level.
"You are fine, there is nothing wrong with you. The problem is me, I am sick."
When they looked at each other, there was no trace of falsehood or lies in his eyes. What he said was the truth that he believed in his heart.
Su Yin: “……?”
She was stunned, and all the previous emotions disappeared in an instant, leaving only confusion. What did she mean by "he is sick"?
Xie Lingxu naturally saw her confusion, but had no intention of explaining.
After three days of thinking, he had completely figured out why he had behaved strangely when facing her before.
The reason is simple: he's crazy.
It's not a big deal. Birds of a feather flock together. If you stay with these people with strange ideas for a long time, you will be led into the ditch yourself.
You know, there is already a love-brain patient in the hospital, who often stays in Courtyard No. 3 and often says shocking things. Perhaps it is because of her influence that he has some inappropriate thoughts.
Whether intentionally or not, Xie Lingxu selectively ignored the fact that he and Tian Xiao had almost no interactions. He had read in medical books in this world that doctors could be influenced by mental patients.
He closed his eyes, his thoughts mixed.
I had originally thought that a few days away from her would clear my mind, but today's trip to Courtyard No. 2 was a stark slap in the face. Staying away from her was useless; it not only made her hysteria worse, but it also caused her to rear her spines again.
That defensive look was heartbreaking.
Thinking of this, Xie Lingxu lowered his eyes, hiding the emotions in his eyes, "I'm sorry, I was wrong just now."
Su Yin looked at Xie Lingxu carefully and felt that his actions today were as if he had taken the wrong medicine.
She opened her lips, but for a long time, no words came out.
This man looked normal and had no madness at all, but his actions, which he claimed were crazy, made him seem really crazy.
With a thousand thoughts in his mind, Su Yin's expression was indescribable. He stretched out his hand and lightly touched the forehead of the person in front of him with his back.
It felt warm to the touch, which was definitely the normal body temperature. She became more and more confused as to why he spoke as if he was delirious with fever.
Su Yin was thinking about her illness, so she naturally didn't notice the man's muscles suddenly tensed and his movements stiffened when she touched him.
Xie Lingxu used a lot of effort to control himself from stepping back, and let the hand touch his forehead, just lightly to feel the temperature, but it was a touch he had never experienced before.
Too intimate.
But I just apologized for being distant. If I back off now, I'm afraid it will disappoint her again.
Fortunately, Su Yin found out that he didn't have a fever and quickly let go.
Xie Lingxu let out a barely perceptible sigh of relief and apologized once again for his previous behavior: "I'm sorry."
...never mind what illness he had today. Su Yin narrowed her eyes, snorted, and said generously, "I'll forgive you this time."
Seeing that the person in front of her seemed to be relieved, her eyes rolled around.
Fortunately, he knew the situation. If he was like those people in his previous life who were good at changing their faces, she would definitely find an opportunity to take revenge.
Since there are prejudices, then she will confirm their prejudices. This is her style of doing things.
Seeing that her anger had almost subsided, Xie Lingxu said, "Let's go, it's time to go back and eat."
Su Yin didn't move, but looked him in the eyes and asked, "Will you still avoid me from now on?"
After a moment of silence, he replied, "No."
…
After a few days, Xie Lingxu really returned to normal. His daily routine was the same as usual, and he would sit in the office to work, but he did not eat with Su Yin.
It’s normal not to eat together, after all, we have different tastes.
But Su Yin still felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what it was. Everything was the same as before, but it just felt different from before.
"So what happened during those three days, Dean?"
Gu Qian'an was still thinking about this matter, and even though it had been several days, he still didn't give up and wanted to find out the reason.
Somehow, Su Yin didn't want to let Gu Qian'an, the big mouth, know the results of Xie Lingxu's self-diagnosis. In her heart, she didn't quite believe what he said.
Anyway, she didn't see what was wrong with that guy.
So, she looked up at the sky and said in a deep voice, "Maybe it's because men always have those few days every month."
It's broken. He really doesn't have it.
Gu Qian'an opened his mouth wide, looking as if he had been struck by lightning.
Su Yin knew what he was thinking from the look on his face and patted his shoulder comfortingly, "You're still young, it's normal if you don't have one yet. You'll have one in the future."
Gu Qianan grabbed Su Yin's hand with grievance, "But I'll be twenty next month. Is there really still a chance?"
Twenty, Su Yin couldn't help but think of when he was twenty, he became famous under the whip of a bastard, and he was already the light of evil that both the good and the evil were afraid of.
She didn't know many people of her age. Apart from her famous mortal enemy Xie Lingxu, who was two years older than her, there were only some famous new generation of evil people. No matter which one she picked out, they were all well-known figures in the underworld, the kind whose names could stop children from crying at night.
Looking at Gu Qian'an in front of her, his eyes misted over with tears because of her words, as if the sky had fallen. In addition, his appearance was young, with slightly curly hair softly draped over his forehead, pure as a child who knew nothing about the world. He was not from the same world as them.
Despite her thoughts, Su Yin still encouraged him, "Don't worry, it will come."
Since the young sect leader had spoken, Gu Qian'an did not doubt it. The moisture in his eyes disappeared completely. He smiled widely, revealing a row of big white teeth. The whole process was as fast as magic.
Su Yin was amazed.
He shook his head and asked something else, "Where's Tian Xiao?"
Usually she and Gu Qian'an came to Yard No. 3 together, but she was rarely seen in the past few days. Su Yin also went to look for her, but found that apart from being listless, there was nothing abnormal about her. She asked the medical staff, but they said there was no problem.
So she wanted to ask Gu Qianan if he knew what happened, but unfortunately, Gu Qianan scratched his head, also at a loss, "I don't know, I haven't seen many soulmates these past few days."
Su Yin sighed, "Let's go to Courtyard No. 4 together when we have time later."
Gu Qianan: "Okay!"
At this moment, a strange face suddenly appeared outside the courtyard.
The two people who were originally sitting in the yard turned their heads at the same time, staring at the newcomer without saying a word, and exchanged glances with each other, obviously they didn't know him.
The man was not like other visitors. He showed no sign of surprise when being stared at by two pairs of eyes. After greeting Su Yin and getting permission, he quickly walked into the house and then into Xie Lingxu's office.
In the office, he looked solemn. "Dean, someone arrived on the island aboard a fresh produce transport ship. Their behavior was suspicious, and they attempted to sneak into the sanatorium. They have now been detained by security personnel."
"What's your identity?" Xie Lingxu immediately put down the documents in his hand, stood up and walked out.
"I haven't found him yet, but judging by his chaotic and disorganized behavior, he doesn't seem like someone who sneaked in specifically."
The people who live here are either rich or noble. Except for Ji Qingqing and Su Yin, they all have families behind them. It is normal to have enemies in the circle who want to pry into secrets, but the people who come this time do not seem to belong to any force.
Of course, it is not ruled out that some people want to use such outsiders to get away with it.
Xie Lingxu roughly understood the situation and quickly left the yard with the man.
After the two men left, two black heads popped out from the office windowsill and huddled together to talk in a low voice.
"Young Sect Master, that person said that some unknown personnel have sneaked in." Gu Qian'an couldn't hide the shining in his eyes. It was the first time for him to experience such an incident and he was extremely excited.
Su Yin also wanted to know what happened next, so she made a quick decision and winked at him, "Let's go and watch the fun."
