When school let out in the afternoon, Chu Jiusheng saw Fan Mingyu walking away with Shang Lin again. It would be impossible for him to feel nothing at all.
Because at times like these, his heart is filled with complex emotions, and his eyes reveal a strange and obsessive quality, as if he is about to turn evil at any moment.
But today, on the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, as soon as he stepped out of the teaching building, he saw his idol, She Jinxing. All his "darkened" emotions vanished completely in that instant.
Chu Jiusheng practically darted up to She Jinxing, excitedly saying, "Cousin, what brings you here? Are you here to pick up Shang Lin? But he's already left with Fan Mingyu."
President She Jin was already quite eye-catching standing tall on campus, but Chu Jiusheng's shout made almost everyone look at them.
She Jinxing seemed oblivious to Chu Jiusheng's presence and smiled, saying, "I know, I came here specifically to see you today. Let's go, I'll treat you to dinner."
On the ninth day of the lunar month, “…”
She was completely stunned, staring blankly at She Jinxing, unable to utter a single word for a long time.
Confused, She Jinxing asked, "What's wrong?"
Chu Jiusheng quickly snapped out of his daze, exclaimed "Oh!" and said, "Sorry, sorry, the surprise was too big, I didn't react for a moment! But cousin, why did you suddenly invite me to dinner?"
She Jinxing continued with a smile, "It's rare that I have time today, and my cousin said that you haven't been in a good mood lately because of Fan Mingyu, so he asked me to come and see you."
On the ninth day of the lunar month, “…”
What does that mean? He didn't quite understand.
She Jinxing reached out and grabbed Chu Jiusheng's arm, saying as they walked toward the school gate, "Look at you, so dazed. If you don't move now, you won't have time to eat."
Chu Jiusheng silently followed She Jinxing out of the school gate, and was then shoved into the passenger seat of a car by him. Only then did he fully come to his senses, his eyes immediately filled with shock. "Cousin, you actually bought a car?!"
Aren't they all from small county towns? How can the gap between the rich and poor be so big?
“You’re overthinking it.” She Jinxing continued after getting into the driver’s seat, “This is my friend’s car. He knows you have a short break and it’s not convenient for you to just grab something to eat nearby, so he’s the only one I can borrow.”
Chu Jiusheng looked at She Jinxing in utter shock and slowly said, "Cousin, you're like my own brother. You're so thoughtful."
She Jinxing smiled but didn't say anything, though he couldn't smile at all. This child was too possessive; he probably wouldn't be easy to persuade! Should he use magic to erase his memories of the sect leader?
She Jinxing wouldn't want to do this unless absolutely necessary, but while eating and chatting with Chu Jiusheng, he felt even more inclined to do so. This child was not only possessive but also stubborn and somewhat impervious to reason.
However, in the end, She Jinxing did not do that. He had to go back and ask Shang Lin what he thought, after all, Shang Lin was his classmate, and it was Shang Lin who asked him to persuade him.
But it must be said that Chu Jiusheng was in a very good mood at the moment, and as soon as he returned to the classroom, he was surrounded by his classmates, one of whom asked, "Hey, who was that handsome guy who came to see you? He's so handsome I can't even describe it!"
The one said, "That's right, that's right, tell us about it!"
Chu Jiusheng was immediately displeased. "Look at your shallowness! Have you never seen a handsome guy before?"
"Of course I've seen him, but I've never seen anyone this handsome. His height, at least 1.85 meters, his proportions are perfect, that waist, those long legs, and most importantly, that face that's absolutely captivating! Ah!!!"
Chu Jiusheng said with great disgust, "Stop it, you guys are just crazy."
Although he said that, Chu Jiusheng subconsciously thought of She Jinxing's face. His face looked like it had stepped out of a comic book, with deep eyes, a high nose bridge, and slightly upturned corners of his mouth. His smile was indeed captivating, but since his classmates didn't say anything, he hadn't even noticed!
Okay, boys and girls have completely different perspectives on the same person.
When Chu Jiusheng called him crazy, his classmates immediately became unhappy. "Is your attitude just envy and jealousy?"
"That's right, that's right."
After he finished speaking, the students scattered, clearly not wanting to talk to Chu Jiusheng anymore.
On the ninth day of the lunar month, “…”
Did you say something wrong? You guys are so shallow, aren't you just crazy? You get all worked up just because you see a handsome guy, it's utterly incomprehensible.
As soon as Fan Mingyu entered the classroom, he saw his classmates scattering around Chu Jiusheng. He was immediately confused. What was going on?
However, as long as it concerned the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, he was too lazy to pay attention to it. He walked to his seat and prepared to attend class. In his mind, he was thinking that Jin-ge was not at home for dinner tonight, but was waiting for Shang Lin at the school gate!
In fact, She Jinxing hadn't intended to wait for Shang Lin at the school gate. He had just happened to run into him when he dropped Chu Jiusheng off and was about to leave, so he told him his thoughts.
Upon hearing this, Shang Lin immediately frowned. "I knew I had misjudged him!"
Paranoia ultimately leads to madness, and the things madmen can do are unimaginable. Especially for students in their late teens, a time when they're already at the height of their adolescent angst, problems are more likely to arise, and they're even harder to manage!
She Jinxing hurriedly reassured him, "Sect Master, you are mistaken. People's hearts are the most difficult to understand. It would be strange if we didn't misjudge them. Besides, we are not without ways to solve the problem. It just depends on whether you agree or not."
Shang Lin still frowned: "This isn't a foolproof solution either. If he suddenly doesn't remember me, the people around him will notice something's wrong, and if they remind him, Chu Jiusheng might remember me one day!"
"But if we keep letting this go on, who knows what will happen in the future? You're only getting a little closer to your junior brother now, and he's already like this. What will happen if you get closer to other people in the future, or even have a girlfriend? Won't he go crazy?"
Although She Jinxing agreed with Shang Lin's concerns, he still insisted on his own idea. After all, they already had enough to do every day, and it would be too troublesome to get entangled with irrelevant people!
As for girlfriends, She Jinxing was just saying it casually. After all, they were all cultivators, and finding a serious partner was no easier than advancing in their cultivation, and might even be more difficult.
Therefore, they basically let fate decide when it comes to matters of the heart. She Jinxing believed that Shang Lin was the same way. Although he was an ordinary human now, he had never given up cultivation and obviously still wanted to move forward.
As for how high they can go? That depends entirely on how well the Yuntai Sect develops.
Shang Lin was clearly not bothered by the "girlfriend" issue. After a moment of silence, he said, "Then let's do as you say, but don't delete her too thoroughly, lest it backfire."
"good."
