Cen Yu looked up three times to make sure they hadn't gone to the wrong place.
The delicious milk tea shop is located in a remote corner of the university town. Pei Heng's car couldn't drive in there at all; he had to get out and walk through three alleys to reach it.
Even on the wall of the Haomei Milk Tea shop, there is a large character for "demolish".
"Maybe we should forget about it," Cen Yu said, standing at the door. "I think we should find someone else."
"What do you mean, let it go?" Someone came out of the unlit shop, glanced at Cen Yu and Pei Heng, and said, "Oh, that guy with the tattoo."
Cen Yu looked at the master disciple before him—
He was probably in his early twenties, with dyed red hair and gloves covered in flour... Seemingly noticing Cen Yu's gaze, he took off his disposable gloves. "I was just making fried chicken. Come in and talk."
Pei Heng didn't move. He repeated the master's name, "He's your master?"
"Yes." The young man answered another call, apparently someone had ordered milk tea. After telling Cen Yu and Pei Heng to wait a moment, he started making calls to others. A few minutes later, another young man ran in from the alleyway, "Sorry for being late!"
"I'm sorry, Brother Chen."
The young man handed the apron to the person who came in behind him, and then looked at Cen Yu and Pei Heng, saying, "Let's go inside and talk."
Pei Heng thought for a moment, and after confirming that the master had a good reputation, he nodded to Cen Yu, indicating that they had not come to the wrong place.
The delicious milk tea shop not only smelled of pure non-dairy creamer milk tea, but also of fried chicken. To show his sincerity, Shen Wei placed two cups of non-dairy creamer milk tea in front of them, saying, "Have some water first."
Pei Heng didn't touch the milk tea in front of him, and directly recounted the strange things that happened in the mourning hall and after returning to the Pei family mansion.
Cen Yu took a sip of her milk tea and then ate the sweet potato fries that her friend from her part-time job had given her. "When I woke up this morning, there were wet marks next to me. I suspect that something from the artificial lake crawled out."
After listening to their conversation, Shen Wei said, "This is not surprising."
Cen Yu's hand trembled as he poked at the sweet potato fries. Isn't that surprising?
"Could it be that the master is extremely knowledgeable and experienced?" He looked at Shen Wei, "so this is nothing out of the ordinary?"
“No,” Shen Wei said, “it’s just that some people are particularly unlucky and always encounter all sorts of things.”
Cen Yu chuckled, "Master, although you are a master, I still want to ask how you knew?"
“Because I’m the particularly unlucky one,” Shen Wei said, seemingly preparing to take a sip of milk tea to calm his nerves, as he poked the straw into the plastic cup—
The next second, Shen Wei poked a hole in the cup, and the milk tea spilled all over him.
Cen Yu: "..."
Shen Wei threw the milk tea into the trash can behind him without changing his expression. "See, that's how it is." He said to Cen Yu, "So you're probably just unlucky. You went to the funeral hall and got haunted by something evil."
Cen Yu looked at Shen Weina's wet sweatpants and couldn't bear it. "Why don't you go change your pants, Master?"
"No need," Shen Wei waved his hand. "You'll get used to it."
“However, I still need to go to the villa to take a look, so I can determine exactly what it is.” Shen Wei continued, “That way I can better determine what it is.”
Pei Heng stood there speechless for a long time. He looked down at the ground, then at Shen Wei, resisting the urge to ask his assistant to contact the new master. "Do you need us to go to the villa together?"
"No need," Shen Wei said. "I'll go scout ahead first."
I'll set off tonight.
“But you should be careful during this time.” Shen Wei then looked at Cen Yu. “It seems like you… have encountered more than just this one incident.”
“If you don’t deal with this after you encounter it, your luck will only get worse,” he told Cen Yu. “It will make you more likely to attract similar things.”
“And it seems you’ve been married more than once.” Shen Wei stared at Cen Yu for a long time. “But they’re all dead.”
It's not surprising that the master knew about Pei Leyun's affair, and Shen Wei knew about it as well.
But he hadn't told the master about his uncle's matter yet... Pei Heng originally thought he could find someone else, but now he felt that Shen Wei might actually have some ability.
So he cut to the chase and gave a long explanation of his uncle and the absurd marriage certificate.
Cen Yu also added the reason Pei Baijun mentioned for his recent appearance—
“You shouldn’t have taken that money,” Shen Wei said. “Originally, if you hadn’t accepted the betrothal gifts… there would have been a chance for things to turn around, but you did.”
Cen Yu: "..."
Although the original owner was somewhat greedy, he still felt wronged in this matter. After all, who could have imagined that a "student loan" would suddenly turn into dowry money?
“Although that’s not what they mean by talking nonsense, don’t believe a single word they say,” Shen Wei said. “You may not know, but do you think he doesn’t?”
Shen Wei's words made it clear that Pei Baijun did this on purpose.
"But there is one thing he did right."
"What?"
"Something's definitely been off lately." Shen Wei wiped his sweatpants with a tissue. "There's been a lot more stuff out there..."
“Our school has them.” The guy who was eavesdropping behind the counter said, “Isn’t it in Lao Yang’s dorm?”
Seeing that Cen Yu and the others' attention was drawn to him, he said, "Old Yang received a friend request on WeChat a while ago, saying that it was from a senior in the library who fell in love with him at first sight."
"He was having so much fun chatting that he didn't want to leave, and said he wanted to meet up with that senior." Perhaps worried that Cen Yu and the others wouldn't understand, this person explained again simply, "He's just a scumbag who specializes in deceiving people's feelings."
"The senior said she usually likes to go to the library and asked to meet Lao Yang at the library entrance."
"When Lao Yang arrived, he found no one at the door. It was already 11 p.m., so Lao Yang made a voice call, but the other party rejected the call."
"At the time, Lao Yang thought this person was just there to mess with him."
"I didn't expect so many WeChat messages to suddenly appear..."
Cen Yu pricked up his ears, "What did you write?"
“It’s a photo of Lao Yang.” The man continued, as if he had been there at the time. “Lao Yang looked down and found that it was a photo of himself looking down at his phone, but the photo must have been taken from a distance.”
"But the photos are updated every second, every second."
"And the photo is getting closer and closer—"
"Until the photo of him was so close it looked like someone was shoving a phone right in his face... but there was no one in front of Lao Yang."
"In the last photo, Lao Yang wasn't in it; he thought the thing was gone."
"Unexpectedly, his phone suddenly rang at this moment."
"It was a voice call from my senior. I didn't dare to answer, but the call connected by itself."
"A woman's voice came from inside... saying..."
"Turn around and look at me."
The man spoke with lingering fear, "That thing was always crouching behind him."
