Life on campus was relatively comfortable.
The students are very orderly. Every day, some cook, some clean, some take care of the livestock, and there are also designated people for weeding, pest control, fertilizing, and watering.
That day, Qiao An'an and the others were picking some early-ripening corn in the field, preparing to boil it for dinner, when a boy ran excitedly from behind the mountain: "It's fixed! We fixed the engine!"
This news is very encouraging.
The maximum speed when sailing is 17 kilometers per hour, but that depends on the wind.
After the engine is repaired, the cruise ship can reach speeds of 40km~70km/h at sea. If danger occurs, they can sail away immediately without worrying about the wind direction.
The rest of the time was spent considering what supplies to pack onto the cruise ship to ensure long-term preservation.
Students at the agricultural university even started researching how to add a feature to cruise ships, allowing them to grow vegetables and raise livestock. Everyone was busy with this project.
Chi Xiaoyu learned how to operate a cruise ship by studying the ship's driver's manual.
Previously, it was Grandpa Yan who steered the boat.
None of them know how to operate such a large cruise ship.
After getting busy, Chi Xiaoyu forgot about helping Han Xue fix her phone.
Han Xue wasn't planning to rush Chi Xiaoyu, but it was supposed to be a week, and ten days have passed. It should be fixed by now, right?
So, during dinner that day, Han Xue cautiously approached Chi Xiaoyu and asked, "Little Yu, is your phone... fixed?"
Chi Xiaoyu was speechless when asked the question; she hadn't repaired it at all.
Han Xue noticed that Chi Xiaoyu's expression was off and asked worriedly, "Is it impossible to fix?"
That phone is easy to repair.
But Chi Xiaoyu kept Qiao An'an's words in mind and tried to postpone the time for repairing her phone as much as possible.
When Han Xue asked, Chi Xiaoyu said, "It's difficult, but it's not completely unfixable. Give me some more time."
Seeing this, Han Xue didn't press the matter any further.
While Chi Xiaoyu and Han Xue were talking, Luo Churan said to Han Xue seemingly casually, "It's the apocalypse, why bother repairing cell phones? I have several of the latest iPhone models that I found on the street in my bag. I can give them to you if you need them."
Han Xue declined Luo Churan's offer: "Thank you for your kindness, Auntie, but I don't need the latest model of phone. I just want to repair my sister's belongings."
Han Xue didn't want to say anything more.
After thanking him, he left.
However, Luo Churan still learned what had happened from the female students.
Luo Churan shook her head repeatedly upon hearing this: "Poor child."
One of the female students sadly chimed in, "Who says otherwise? Actually, this has nothing to do with Han Xue. It's all the fault of those who murdered, hid the body, and spread rumors. But Han Xue just won't let it go. I just hope that after her phone is repaired, she can find some solace..."
Actually, Luo Churan and Han Lu knew each other.
Even Han Lu's death was inextricably linked to her.
Luo Churan didn't think much of it when she heard that Han Lu's body had been found, but when she heard that the broken phone could actually be repaired, she panicked. Now that Chi Xiaoyu said that the phone wasn't easy to repair, most of her panic subsided.
But still not entirely at ease, he decided to go and sound out Chi Xiaoyu.
Meanwhile, Chi Xiaoyu had already imported the contents of her phone's memory into her computer. She actually felt sorry for Han Xue and thought that she would save it first and then give it to Han Xue as soon as Sister An'an agreed.
However, it was the first contact in the exported WeChat messages that caught Chi Xiaoyu's attention. Not only was the contact name Luo Churan, but the profile picture was also exactly the same as Luo Churan's. This inevitably aroused Chi Xiaoyu's suspicions. She then opened the chat window between the two and found that it was full of photos of Luo Churan's so-called housekeeping company that she had sent to Han Lu, along with high fees.
But Luo Churan has been looking for Ye Jing all along, hasn't she?
When did she become the manager of the housekeeping company?
Moreover, they had been discussing Han Lu, so why was she pretending not to know Han Lu?
Just as Chi Xiaoyu was thinking this, Luo Churan knocked on the door.
The bad thing is that the door is open.
Fortunately, Chi Xiaoyu's computer screen is now facing away from the door.
Luo Churan didn't see the computer screen. Chi Xiaoyu looked at Luo Churan with a normal expression and asked, "Did Aunt Luo need something?"
Luo Churan smiled and stepped forward: "I actually know a little about mobile phone repair, and I was just thinking that if you think Han Xue's phone is difficult to repair, I can help you."
Chi Xiaoyu felt that her expression hadn't betrayed her, and Luo Churan didn't seem to have noticed anything either, so she decided to send Luo Churan away first, and then tell Sister An'an what she knew.
The phone was already broken, and all the contents of the memory card had already been transferred to the computer.
Chi Xiaoyu calmly closed the computer screen, handed the broken phone to Luo Churan, and said, "Is that so? Then I'll have to trouble Aunt Luo."
Luo Churan smiled and reached out to take Chi Xiaoyu's phone.
But the moment she touched Chi Xiaoyu's phone, she grabbed Chi Xiaoyu's wrist and pulled her closer to her, while simultaneously drawing a gleaming dagger from her other hand.
Chi Xiaoyu tried to break free from Luo Churan, but Luo Churan's grip was extremely strong. Even though Chi Xiaoyu tried to turn to the side, the dagger still pierced her shoulder.
She was confused. She had clearly turned off her computer, so why was Luo Churan trying to kill her? "Why?"
Seeing that her first stab hadn't killed Chi Xiaoyu, Luo Churan immediately drew her dagger, preparing to stab her a second time: "You probably don't know you have a small mirror hanging on your back, do you?"
Only then did Chi Xiaoyu remember that a few days ago, some of the ladies on the fourth floor said that there was nothing in her room, so they specially brought her some things, including a small mirror.
Just as the dagger was about to fall, Chi Xiaoyu gritted her teeth and grabbed the laptop on the table, trying to lean back to avoid Luo Churan's dagger. After Luo Churan's entire upper body leaned onto the table, Chi Xiaoyu kicked the table over.
When the table was kicked over, it hit Luo Churan's lower abdomen on the other side of the table.
Luo Churan did not expect Chi Xiaoyu to kick the table.
Caught off guard, she was hit on the leg by a falling table and debris, and the pain made her subconsciously let go of Chi Xiaoyu's arm.
The moment Chi Xiaoyu was freed, she rushed to the door: "Help! Help!!!"
Luo Churan pulled her leg out from under the table and limped towards Chi Xiaoyu. But when she saw Chi Xiaoyu shouting and rushing out of the dormitory, she knew she couldn't catch up and stopped in her tracks like a deflated balloon.
She imagined that everyone would come looking for her because of Chi Xiaoyu's shouts.
This also includes her son, Ye Jing.
Luo Churan tidied her hair and clothes in front of the mirror, wanting Ye Jing to remember her at her best.
