Chapter 105: There was a knock on the door. I didn’t understand what was going on. Feed me another one.
Shi Can drank two cups of Coke with Tu Shan Yun Lin and then drove home.
As Shi Can pushed the door open, he was thinking about how to persuade Lin Zhuyue to join the league tomorrow. But after entering the room, Shi Can saw a piece of paper on his desk.
The registration form for the four-school league has Lin Zhuyue's information already filled in.
No need to persuade me.
She figured it out herself.
Shi Can connected his phone to the printer, and soon a form printed out. He picked up a pen and quickly wrote his name on it. He then taped a one-inch photo of himself in the upper right corner. This photo was taken at the beginning of the previous year, when his hair had been badly cut by his hairstylist's apprentice, making him look dull and goofy.
After filling out the registration form, Shican wanted to go to the cat room to grab a cat to sleep with him, but after entering the cat room, he found that both cats were not there.
They were probably all carried to Lin Zhuyue's room.
Greed does not end well.
Lin Zhuyue slept with the air conditioner on, but she still felt stuffy and hot, and her chest felt heavy, and she frequently felt breathless. When she could no longer bear it, she opened her eyes and saw that the two fur balls were pressing against her chest. The combined weight of 20 kilograms was too much for her to bear.
Lin Zhuyue moved Maotuanzi aside, pulled up the quilt and went back to sleep.
When she and Shichan arrived at school, there was another person in the classroom who was also lacking rest.
Gong Yongyuan had dark circles under his eyes and flipped through the textbook in a daze.
"Great Immortal, have you not slept all night?"
Ye Yangjia, who was sitting next to him, patted Gong Yongyuan on the shoulder and handed him a mint candy to refresh his mind. He asked,
"Speaking of which, why was your family so noisy last night? Were they killing chickens?"
"Kill the fucking chicken! That's a dog barking."
Gong Yongyuan didn't want to recall the devilish sound that pierced his ears at all.
"Why is Beagle the dog? He doesn't bark during the day, but crows non-stop at night. Last night, my alligator snapping turtle just crawled to the door, but Beagle scolded it so much that it ran back to the pond without looking back. It's the first time I've seen it run so fast in my life."
Ye Yangjia said: "I don't know, I've never raised a Beagle."
Gong Yongyuan held Ye Yangjia's hand and asked:
"So do you want to raise one?"
Ye Yangjia: "...Don't give it to me, I don't want it!"
"puff."
Shi Chan, who was sitting in the back, couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Gong Yongyuan immediately turned around and glared at him.
"Do you want a cat?"
Shi Can stopped smiling and said to Gong Yongyuan,
"Cats are adorable creatures, and most importantly, they can make fresh food for your dog... If you want, I'll ask the cattery at Baguette. They also breed Maine Coons. These large cats eat a lot and poop a lot..."
Gong Yongyuan quickly stopped him:
“…That dog doesn’t eat shit anymore!”
"Will you two shut up?"
Wen Miyan, who was sharing chocolate with Lin Zhuyue, knocked on the table with disgust and said,
"If you keep saying that, I'll go buy you a bag of sheep manure and feed it to you until you're both full."
Lin Zhuyue turned around and stuffed a piece of chocolate into Shican's mouth.
——Shut up.
“What a strange taste…”
Shi Can tasted the chocolate in his mouth and said to Lin Zhuyue,
"I don't understand. Feed me another one."
Wen Miyan, Ye Yangjia and Gong Yongyuan looked at Shi Can at the same time, with expressions of "Are you shameless" and "Can you please stop showing off your love?" written on their faces.
Shi Can ignored them and just took another chocolate that Lin Zhuyue handed to him.
The pepper-cinnamon chocolate had a weird, yet sweet taste.
"Hmm, I still don't understand. Let me..."
Ye Yangjia took the chocolate handed to him by Wen Miyan in a rage, peeled off the wrapper and stuffed it into Shi Can's mouth, saying:
"Try it, what's so delicious about this chocolate? Come, I'll peel it for you. I'll peel as much as you want, until you vomit."
Shi Can didn't eat. He turned his head, squinted his eyes, looked at Ye Yangjia unhappily, and asked:
"I haven't hit you since you got hurt last time. It's been so long since I last got hit, are you itching for a fight? See you at the training hall after school."
Ye Yangjia was very unconvinced and said:
"Let's meet at the training hall. Who's afraid of you?"
After school.
Ye Yangjia was lying on the floor of the training hall, holding his wooden sword, tears in his eyes:
“…Woo woo.”
Wen Miyan sat down next to Ye Yangjia with two bottles of juice, handed one to Ye Yangjia, and asked:
"Why did you mess with him?"
Ye Yangjia said aggrievedly: "...I can't stand him."
Wen Miyan shook her head and said:
"You can't stand him, but you can't beat him, which will only make him more arrogant."
Shi Can, who had just knocked Ye Yangjia down, had already moved to the nearby venue and was practicing with Lin Zhuyue with a wooden sword.
Lin Zhuyue hadn't held a wooden sword in a while, but she hadn't slacked off in her archery practice. Because of her practice, her hands were still quite strong, so she wouldn't feel limp with the wooden sword.
Training is very physically demanding.
Not long after, Lin Zhuyue also lay down.
Shi Can glanced at the broom placed in the corner of the venue and said:
"I still think you're scarier when you're swinging a broom."
"I also think a broom is better than a knife."
Lin Zhuyue sat up, took the ice water handed to him by Shi Can, tilted his head back and took a big gulp. After a long pause, he stood up and walked to the edge of the venue. He picked up his phone from the chair and said,
"It would be great if there was a broom-shaped spiritual weapon. Maybe besides hitting people, you could also ride it and fly..."
“…and watch less Harry Potter.”
"That was my introduction to the fantasy world..."
Lin Zhuyue was talking when she suddenly stopped. She lowered her head and looked at the chat interface on her phone in a daze. She said,
"My sister encountered a strange thing."
Shi Chan asked, “What’s weird?”
"She just started her first year of high school. The school is a bit far from home, but the accommodation conditions are okay, so she just lives on campus."
Lin Zhuyue handed the phone to Shi Can and said,
"There seems to be something strange about the dormitory. There are always noises in the middle of the night. Sometimes you can hear someone singing while washing clothes, and sometimes there's a knock on the door... She's curious and brave. Last night, she squatted by the door, and as soon as she heard the knock, she opened it."
Shi Chan looked at the chat history.
Bowie opened the door and found no one outside.
The girl was indeed brave, having encountered such a situation without losing sleep. However, she felt something was wrong while she was sleeping. She couldn't move her body, and no matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't move. She tried to call her roommates for help, but no sound came out. Then she suddenly felt the bracelet on her wrist was very hot, and she woke up with a start, only to realize that her previous state of "sleep paralysis" was a dream.
Bowie initially thought it was just a dream, but when she looked at the bracelet again in the sunlight during the day, she discovered that a crack had appeared in her beloved pink bracelet.
Shi Can sighed and said:
"It's probably a supernatural event."
Lin Zhuyue stood up and said uncertainly:
"Ming... Is Teacher Duan still in school?"
The Spiritual Masters' House has its own procedures for handling matters involving paranormal phenomena experienced by spiritualists' families. Spiritualists can report the incident to the Spiritual Masters' House, which will assess the severity of the incident and respond to and resolve the issue as quickly as possible. Apprentice spiritualists must first report the incident to their homeroom teacher, who will then report it to the Spiritual Masters' House.
Shi Can said, "I don't know, let's go to the office and check."
The two of them went straight to the office without even changing their clothes.
"Duan Junheng" was still in the office, grading the opening exam papers collected yesterday.
He singled out one of the test papers.
After seeing Lin Zhuyue, "Duan Junheng" picked up the test paper and said:
"You've arrived just in time. I wanted to ask you, why are the scores so precise? Are you deliberately lowering them to provoke me?"
There was a big "60" marked in red pen in the upper right corner of the test paper.
Lin Zhuyue: “Uh…”
“…Um, that…”
Lin Zhuyue looked around and said,
"Let's not talk about this for now. My family is in trouble..." Lin Zhuyue hesitated for a long time, and barely managed to explain the matter to "Duan Junheng" while sweating profusely. He said:
"Can you help report this to the Spiritual Master's Mansion?"
"Of course you can, but I think it's best for you to handle your sister's matter yourself. I can grant you two some leave and then help you with the explanation later."
Duan Junheng took out a leave request from the drawer and said,
"You wouldn't really dare to leave your family's affairs to the current Spiritual Master Mansion, would you?"
Lin Zhuyue: "..."
Hit the nail on the head.
Shi Can never hesitated to assume the worst of Ming Xi. He asked:
"You're not planning anything bad in your mind, are you?"
Minghui did not give a direct answer, but only stated the conditions:
"This mission isn't difficult, and it's not assigned to you by me. It doesn't count towards the 'four missions' you agreed upon. Return immediately upon completion, no matter what happens. Don't delay the qualifiers."
Lin Zhuyue took a deep breath, picked up a black pen, and wrote his name on the leave note.
She couldn't just leave Xiao Yi alone.
Shi Can picked up a pen and added his own name after Lin Zhuyue's, then went to book a flight. He was not familiar with Bowie, but he felt that he should stand by Lin Zhuyue's side.
After signing the leave note, there was still plenty of time before the plane took off, so they went home to change their clothes, loaded their luggage and tool kit into the car, and set off from Tiancheng.
At four o'clock in the morning, they landed at Yuancheng Airport.
Lin Lang drove over to pick them up.
When Lin Zhuyue left Tiancheng yesterday, she told Lin Lang about Bowie's situation. Lin Lang took Bowie home from school last night and didn't get much rest that night before going out to pick up Lin Zhuyue and Shican.
On the way home, Lin Lang was still confused and asked:
"How could this happen?"
"Because 'opening the door' is a response to 'knocking on the door'. Ghosts can be quite lonely sometimes. If you pay attention to them, they'll cling to you like a puppy."
Shi Can took out a box of yogurt cubes from the back seat of the car and said as he unpacked it,
"Miss Bao is incredibly bold. If someone knocks on a girl's door at night, the normal reaction is to be alert, lock the door, and tell the teacher. But she actually chose to open the door and take a look."
Lin Lang: “…”
Shi Can stuffed the yogurt cube into his mouth and said:
"She's so brave and capable, she's sure to be a remarkable woman in the future."
Lin Zhuyue, who was sitting in the front row, sent a message to Shi Can with her phone:
【Why do you speak so sarcastic? 】
Shi Chan replied:
【Isn’t that how I always talk?】
Shi Can is always sarcastic towards people and things that he doesn't like. It's nothing, many people are like this. Shi Can's problem is that he can't like most people and things in the world, which leads to him being sarcastic towards almost everyone.
