Qin Zhan ran to Shi Ling with Fang Songzhao's phone and said, "Sister Shi Ling, this supernatural video is really not just an optical illusion."
Gu Xiuji walked down from the podium and extended his hand to Qin Zhan, "Student, the school rules of No. 1 Middle School stipulate that you are not allowed to play with your cell phone during school hours. Please hand it in."
Qin Zhan was stunned for a moment, then obediently handed over the phone.
Fang Songzhao's eyes widened and he roared, "Fuck you!"
Gu Xiuji pushed his gold-framed glasses and looked at Fang Songzhao.
"Teacher, I was scolding Qin Zhan."
Fang Songzhao felt that this look was a bit dangerous, so he quickly explained, then glared at Qin Zhan and lowered his voice, "Fuck you, that's my phone."
Qin Zhan turned to Gu Xiuji in confusion, "Teacher, this is Fang Songzhao's phone."
Gu Xiuji nodded: "Okay, I'll take note of it. I'll tell your homeroom teacher later."
Fang Songzhao: !!! Qin Zhan! Damn you!
Qin Zhan said, "Sister Shi Ling, that area is truly haunted. Especially the neighborhood and the surrounding snack shops and toy stores. The property management of Sunshine Garden has received many complaints about the eerie sounds of children crying and laughing in the neighborhood at night. Children often go missing in the neighborhood, only to be found elsewhere. Furthermore, the mother who lost her child due to carelessness has gone mad."
Shi Ling sat in his seat, supporting his face with one hand, looking thoughtful.
Fang Songzhao was afraid Shi Ling wouldn't believe him. "Yeah, a lot of snacks went missing from our newly opened snack shop, but we checked the surveillance footage and couldn't find anything. The same thing happened with the toy store next door. The loss wasn't huge, but it's pretty scary that it's haunted, and it's definitely affecting business."
Shi Ling also became interested: "Then I'll show you after the holiday."
Qin Zhan: "Thank you, Sister Shi Ling! Can you do a live broadcast at the same time?"
Shi Ling said seriously: "This is a different price."
Qin Zhan: "I'll pay more!"
Seeing that he looked honest, Shi Ling waved her hand and said, "Forget it. I'm afraid Qin Niao will come after me."
Gu Xiuji watched from the side for a while, his eyes always on Shi Ling, a smile on his lips, his eyes showing the same tenderness.
He said softly, "Shi Ling, speaking of strange things, I recently encountered one too. Can you help me figure it out?"
Yu Chen, who was writing at the front desk, paused for a moment and tilted his head to look at Gu Xiuji.
Shi Ling looked at Gu Xiuji in confusion, "What?"
Gu Xiuji looked at Shi Ling tenderly. "I went to the botanical garden last week and saw a tree called Eucalyptus globulus. The tour guide said this plant is very domineering. It won't allow other birds to rest on its branches, nor will it allow other plants to grow around it. Only one kind of bird can stay and roost on it."
Fang Songzhao: "I know! That's the safari bird!"
Su Xingwan recalled a poem circulating online, supposedly from Rabindranath Tagore's The Stray Birds: "The blue eucalyptus has met the locust bird, loving nothing but you. The blue eucalyptus's story is: My tenderness and devotion are only for you. How romantic."
Gu Xiuji's eyes flickered slightly, his gaze still fixed on Shi Ling. "Do you find it romantic too?"
Yu Chen clenched his hands, glanced at Gu Xiuji coldly, and then stared at Shi Ling nervously.
Shi Ling: "Romantic shit, I just think the blue gum is poisonous. All the plants and animals that get close to it are poisoned to death. Only that sophora japonica bird is more resistant to the poison. It's really lucky."
Gu Xiuji: “…”
There seemed to be light in Yu Chen's eyes as the ice melted, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but rise.
"Shi Ling, you're allergic to romance, right?" (End of this chapter)
