Chapter 54: Shi Ling, didn’t she see anything she shouldn’t have seen?
Yu Chen said he believed her, but Shi Ling was surprised and blinked, "Is Zundu fake?"
Yu Chen:?
Shi Ling saw a hint of confusion in his cold eyes, and guessed that he probably didn't know about this joke, so she switched to a serious tone, "Ahem, is it true or not?"
Yu Chen: "Zundu."
Shi Ling:! How did he manage to act cute while looking so cool?
…
"Hey, Xi Jin, isn't that Shi Ling?"
Su Zhe'an drove his newly bought sports car and took Xi Jin to No. 1 Middle School to pick up his sister. While waiting for the traffic light, he rolled down the window and looked out, and saw Shi Ling standing at the bus stop.
He nudged Xi Jin, who was dozing with his eyes closed, with his elbow, and said gossip-filledly, "Look, Shi Ling and that boy with dyed silver hair are so close. They're so close, are they kissing?"
Xi Jin tilted his head and looked out the window.
The late summer breeze was cool, and the girl was wearing a knee-length white dress. Her legs were slender and well-proportioned under the skirt.
She tilted her head, and the silver-haired boy in a black coat opposite her leaned forward with his head lowered, the two of them very close to each other.
From their angle, it looked like they were kissing.
"Tsk tsk tsk, how long has it been since you called off your engagement? Shi Ling doesn't look like someone you've just dated." Su Zhe'an looked at Xi Jin with a hint of amusement, almost saying "You've been cheated on."
Xi Jin glanced at her and then looked away, carelessly twisting a string of lustrous bodhi roots. "We only had a paper engagement before us, no love. Even if she was already in a relationship, that's her freedom."
"You are truly a gentleman."
Su Zhe'an tutted his words, "But she's already in a relationship before the engagement is annulled. This is clearly a slap in the face of you and the Xi family."
Xi Jin's expression was gentle, his tone calm, and he continued what he had said before, "Besides, it was a misalignment."
Su Zhe'an didn't believe it, so he drove forward a little to look, only to find that the boy was just lowering his head to listen to Shi Ling talking, and there was a distance between them that was wide enough for one person to fit.
Su Zhe'an was surprised: "Yeah, it really is."
Xi Jin continued to close his eyes and rest, "Your luck has been down these past few days. Trouble comes from your mouth, so stop gossiping."
Su Zhe'an didn't understand Xi Jin's intention to tell him to shut up and stop gossiping. His focus was entirely on his bad luck. "Why do you say that? Shi Ling also said before that there was a black aura on my forehead and that I was going to be unlucky. You know what, I have been pretty unlucky these past few days. I got into a car accident and was hit by a scam..."
Xi Jin paused as he twisted his fingers around the bodhi bracelet, then suddenly opened his eyes and looked at him. "You said Shi Ling saw a black aura above your head?"
Su Zhe'an was startled by his look. "Yeah, what's wrong? Ever since she was kicked out of the Shi family and became a haunted house sleep tester, she's been talking nonsense. There's even a rumor online that she has the ability to see ghosts."
Su Zhe'an knew that Xi Jin never paid attention to these things, but seeing that he was curious, he told him everything he knew.
Xi Jin lowered his eyes to look at the silver ring snake wrapped around his wrist, and recalled some strange behavior of Shi Ling, his eyes narrowed dangerously.
Did Shi Ling see something she shouldn’t have seen?
"By the way, Xi Jin, didn't you always hate these cumbersome accessories? How come you became obsessed with bracelets during your recent trip abroad? Where did you buy this one? I can't find anything like it anywhere online."
Su Zhe'an stared at the Bodhi bracelet on Xi Jin's wrist. He felt that it was emitting fairy spirit and couldn't help but reach out to touch it.
"Don't touch it."
Xi Jin slapped his hand away, and a flash of hostility flashed across his usually gentle eyes, and his voice was colder than before.
