Chapter Twenty-Seven: School Ghost Stories 27
Su Yi'an was startled, his heart ached slightly, and he was still very angry, but he couldn't do anything about it as long as Lu Cen showed that expression.
He softened his tone: "I'm worried."
Lu Cen ignored him and remained silent.
Su Yi'an glanced at his lips, her eyes darkening. She asked, "Were you with Xie Lin last night?"
Lu Cen hesitated for a long time, but finally nodded.
"Did he kiss you?"
Lu Cen explained in a low voice, "He said he wouldn't let you cheat for me. If he finds out, our grades will be reset to zero, and I... I won't pass the exam."
"Then why didn't you tell me?" Su Yi'an's throat bobbed, and she couldn't help but reach out to grab his hand. It was soft and boneless, and Su Yi'an's heart skipped a beat. She said in a hoarse voice, "I'll think of other ways to make sure you pass."
Lu Cen shook his head: "Xie Lin can tell."
"So, you made a deal?"
Lu Cen blushed.
Su Yi'an stroked his wrist, where there were several red marks: "How did you get this?"
Lu Cen felt uncomfortable and shrank back a little.
Su Yi'an wouldn't let him dodge, persisting, "What did Xie Lin do?"
When someone kept asking this kind of question, Lu Cen got annoyed and pushed him, but it didn't move him. Instead, it made Su Yi'an's emotions fluctuate even more. He changed his expression, and Lu Cen felt uneasy. He whispered, "He... he pinched it with his hands. He was very strong. I felt like his hand was going to break."
Su Yi'an's expression grew increasingly strange, as if she had just thought of something: "He's strong?"
“Hmm.” Lu Cen forced a smile: “Extremely rude.”
"And what about you?"
Lu Cen asked blankly, "What?"
Su Yi'an looked directly into his eyes and asked, "Are you comfortable?"
Lu Cen was speechless. Nothing he said felt right; he sounded like a cheating husband being questioned by his wife—bizarre and absurd. "What did it feel like when he was with you? Was it good?"
Lu Cen kicked him: "What's it to you!"
This amount of strength was nothing to Su Yi'an. With his blood flowing through his body, he pulled Lu Cen aside and whispered, "What he can give you, I can give you too."
Realizing what he was saying, Lu Cen was dumbfounded.
The t-shirt swayed precariously on her shoulder, and no amount of pulling could help. Lu Cen was flustered and confused. In the chaos, Lu Cen hit Su Yi'an several times. The other woman stopped, as if Lu Cen had done something heinous: "Why, why can he do it but I can't! Tell me why!"
"You... if you keep talking nonsense, I'm not talking to you anymore!" Lu Cen said harshly, then added, "And don't say those things again, Xie Lin and I haven't done anything..."
Su Yi'an took these as explanations, and the fire in her chest was partially extinguished, finally bringing this farce to an end.
Su Yi'an hesitated: "What about last night?"
Lu Cen: "What happened last night?"
"It's nothing." Su Yi'an only then noticed the box in the empty room: "What's this?"
"I don't know, Xie Lin put it there," Lu Cen said. "Someone was chasing me outside. When I came in, the box was here. It was so big, I don't know what was inside."
Su Yi'an's expression suddenly changed as she realized something. She tried to pull Lu Cen away, but it was too late. As if controlled by something, Su Yi'an moved closer to the box step by step. She placed her fingers on the edge of the box, lifted them, and easily removed the lid.
Lu Cen was completely caught off guard.
Upon closer inspection, Lu Cen saw a person curled up at the bottom of the box. The person had long hair that was scattered everywhere, and their hands and feet were huddled together in a cramped and aggrieved manner. The space seemed too small for them, and Lu Cen felt distressed. However, these were not the main points. The main point was that the person's face was exactly the same as Xie Lin's.
The man below fluttered his eyelids, opened his glassy eyes, and looked at the two of them.
Why is there a Xie Lin here?!
Lu Cen felt his hair stand on end and his scalp tingle.
"Baby, I've been waiting for you for so long." Xie Lin's voice was as soft as water hitting a clear spring.
Xie Lin stretched out his body and slowly walked out of the box. He glanced back at it, and the box instantly turned into dust: "Su Yi'an, after all this time, you're still in this deathly state. If you're in so much pain, why don't you just die?"
An irresistible force pulled Lu Cen, causing him to look pained. Su Yi'an was thrown against the wall, his head raised as if an invisible hand was choking him.
Su Yi'an said with difficulty, "You deliberately lured me here."
"Not too stupid. If you don't come, who will help me open the box?" Xie Lin walked towards Lu Cen and commented on Su Yi'an: "Still so impatient."
Lu Cen was unusually clever this time. Last night, he discovered a door behind the wall in the bathroom. It was this person who deliberately gave him the information, and he was the one who brought those people there.
"Look at him, how pitiful." Xie Lin pulled open Lu Cen's collar and ran his fingers along his neck. "Those people were very rude, weren't they?"
"So, are you satisfied with those photos?"
Lu Cen was suddenly startled. With just one sentence, he knew who the other party was: the pervert who sent him the lewd text messages.
"It's you!"
"It's me. What's wrong? You don't seem very happy to see me. I'm very happy to see you."
Su Yi'an on the wall was in great pain, and the shadow below her kept changing, creating a terrifying and suffocating scene.
When Xie Lin lifted Lu Cen up in his arms, Su Yi'an's eyes turned red, and she struggled desperately. Xie Lin stopped and asked, "What, you like him?"
"What can I do if I like it too?" Xie Lin patted Lu Cen's face with extreme disrespect, his eyes gleaming. The next moment, in front of Su Yi'an, Xie Lin pinched Lu Cen's chin and kissed him, his tongue lingering in the other's mouth before he withdrew with satisfaction.
"Just as sweet as I imagined."
Su Yi'an's face turned red. The feeling of suffocation made him struggle less, but his gaze was still fixed on this side.
Seeing that Su Yi'an was close to death, Lu Cen couldn't bear it: "Why did you do this to him?"
"Why?" Xie Lin laughed. "It's good that that heartless brat is dead, isn't it? Or are you feeling sorry for him? Why don't you feel sorry for me?"
Lu Cen tried to break free, but the other man held him like an iron arm, preventing him from moving an inch. The other man whispered, "If you behave, you'll suffer less. Xie Lin can't bear to hurt you, but I'm different. I've thought about you for so long, day and night, every moment. If you still don't know what's good for you..."
Lu Cen froze, his face turning ashen.
"Good boy." Xie Lin gave him a kiss as a reward, then led him to Su Yi'an: "Look at him, he's like a dead dog, do you want to go and keep him company?"
Lu Cen didn't speak.
Xie Lin laughed heartily, retaliating by loosening the grip on Su Yi'an's neck. Su Yi'an's unfocused pupils refocused, and he saw Xie Lin holding him while simultaneously stabbing him in the heart: "See, he's not willing to die with you. Tell me, who does he really like?"
"Is it you, or Xie Lin?"
Xie Lin grabbed Lu Cen's chin and pushed him in front of Su Yi'an again: "Come on, tell him whether you like him or not."
