Chapter 36 The Evil Pillowmate
"good."
"You should read and memorize all the three books I gave you in the next few days. Remember as much as you can. If you don't understand something, you can ask me on WeChat."
Qing Yanrou was in a very good mood and talked to him while fiddling with her fingers.
"good."
"I am your master. Can you say a few more words to me?"
When she heard his answer, she looked up in dissatisfaction. He was really too cold!
He is so frugal with words that he never speaks unless he can avoid it, and when he has to speak, he says very few words.
She had been dissatisfied with him for a long time, but she had to endure it because they were not familiar with each other before. Now that he has become her apprentice, of course he has to listen to her!
After hearing her request, Chu Tingbai's lips curled up much more sharply than before.
She herself may not have noticed that in front of him she looked like a real girl of seventeen or eighteen, with rich expressions and a tone that was no longer so cold.
In front of others, he always looks old-fashioned and unfathomable.
"Yes, Master."
…
The National Day holiday is over, everyone has returned to campus, and the four girls from 304 are reunited.
"Lulu. Did your fiancé finally handle the matter?"
Yi Cong'an and Li Manxiang left early that day and knew nothing about what happened afterwards, so Li Manxiang asked.
"Ah, it's solved."
There was no need to talk about what had already happened and make them worry more, so Han Nianlu did not mention what happened afterwards.
"That's good, that's good. I'm not saying this, but your guy is really handsome. Oh, by the way, I remember there was a little brother following Rourou that day, right? Rourou, who was that?"
As Li Manxiang spoke, she suddenly remembered the person who followed Qing Yanrou that day, and looked at her with a gossipy look on her face.
Yi Cong'an was reading a book on the side. When he heard this, he raised his head and waited curiously for Qing Yanrou's answer.
"Hi, that's the big guy from the Computer Department, Rourou's apprentice."
Without waiting for Qing Yanrou to speak, Han Nianlu, who was sitting on a chair eating snacks, waved to them, indicating that there was no more melon and motioned them to disperse.
"Wow, apprentice?"
Unexpectedly, the two became even more interested after hearing that it was a disciple.
But Qing Yanrou was busy answering questions for Chu Tingbai on WeChat and didn't notice them.
Han Nianlu called the two of them to her table, and the three of them gathered together and started chatting with them.
——
It has been more than a month since the start of school, and it has been drizzling for the past two days. Beijing has experienced its first rare drop in temperature.
It was the weekend. Qing Yanrou, wearing a black dress and holding a black umbrella, stood at the school gate waiting for Chu Tingbai to pick her up.
The person wrapped in black clothes and a black umbrella looks particularly petite, and the little skin exposed between the ankles and wrists appears even whiter against the black background.
"Why did you come down here too?"
The car stopped next to her, and Chu Tingbai walked down to open the door for her, and waited for her to sit in before returning to the car.
"I've packed everything. Uncle Liu will go straight to the airport."
"Okay, Master."
Chu Tingbai handed the blanket to Qing Yanrou while instructing the driver.
"You're getting better and better at being my apprentice. Not bad." She took the blanket and covered her legs with it, teasing him.
Looking at her leaning back in the chair with her eyes closed to rest, he couldn't help but think of the car from Yantai Town to Yunyan City more than a month ago. The same position, the same action, but the difference was his state of mind.
The car was silent and still. The raindrops outside were hitting the window with a 'patter' sound, which seemed to hit his heart as well, adding a touch of ambiguity. This ambiguity belonged to his thoughts alone.
"Mr. Qing, here, here~"
Bai Yi arrived at the airport early and was a little tired from waiting. When he finally saw the two of them, he immediately regained his energy and waved to them.
"Why did you bring a carry-on suitcase? Do you have so much stuff to bring?"
Qing Yanrou and Chu Tingbai only brought their ID cards and some talismans with them, and they did not bring any magic weapons as they were afraid that they would not be able to pass the security check, but they did bring mountain ghost coins.
"You made that old Taoist priest sound so powerful last time, so I had to bring some self-defense equipment!"
When they finally went through security, they knew what Bai Yi had brought. In addition to the necessary peach wood sword and some talismans, there were also wooden fish drums, magic rulers and Sanqing bells.
…
After seeing these things, the young lady in charge of security, who had just been gentle because of Bai Yi's face, suddenly became speechless, and the look she gave him was wrong.
In the end, because they were all other wooden products and the Sanqing Bell was also made of copper, the security check finally let him pass.
He got on the plane with his treasures as he wished.
"Student Qing, I've already asked my roommate about this. Li Zhibin is a kid from a poor rural family. He's the youngest and only boy in his family of four. All the family resources were focused on him, and they supported him through college."
"During college, I met my roommate's aunt, the ghost girl Wen Yu, and pursued her vigorously. After graduation, we successfully got married."
"The Wen family is a family with some assets, and Wen Yu is the most favored youngest daughter in the family. Even though she rebelled and married Li Zhibin, a person the Wen family disapproved of, there was nothing she could do about it."
In order to make their daughter's life better, the Wen family even invested money to open a company in her name."
"Of course, after Wen Yu's death, all those assets passed into Li Zhibin's hands. When Wen Yu just died, Li Zhibin acted so sad and perfect that he didn't arouse the Wen family's suspicion."
"He remarried half a year ago, three years after Wen Yu's death. The woman also had a three-year-old child, which aroused the Wen family's suspicion. They secretly did a paternity test, and it turned out to be Li Zhibin's child."
"The Wen family was furious when they found out, and even suspected Wen Yu's death. They're currently collecting evidence to try to get him to pay for his life."
"But Wen Yu died at home, and her body was cremated without them even seeing it. And when they were collecting evidence, they discovered that the family doctor who helped Wen Yu give birth had died in a car accident three years ago."
"Tsk tsk tsk, this man is too scary!"
Bai Yi told them all the news in one breath.
"How do you know so much?"
Qing Yanrou raised her eyebrows and looked at him.
"My roommate Wen Mingyi and I have a very close relationship. He knows that I have been a disciple of Baiyun Temple since I was a child."
"After his aunt died, he had several nightmares in which Wen Yu told him how tragic her death was and told him not to trust Li Zhibin. That's why he never believed his aunt died in an accident."
"After getting to know me, he asked me about this, but unfortunately, I'm not very skilled, ahem..., so I didn't figure it out."
"I told him after I got back that day, so he returned to Province Z a week ago. He will come to pick us up after we get off the plane."
Province Z is located in the southeastern coastal area of China. It is a large province with relatively good economic development, and Anlin, the provincial capital of Province Z, is even more prosperous.
In recent years, we have also been vigorously developing green ecology, so the air is still very good.
As soon as the three of them got off the plane, Bai Yi's phone started ringing rapidly.
"Hey, Mingyi, we've already gotten off the plane. Where are you? What? Okay, send me your address on your phone and we'll be there right away."
"Student Qing, this is terrible. The head of the Wen family fell into a coma after visiting Li Zhibin the day before yesterday. He's now in the ICU. My roommate suspects Li Zhibin has done something again."
