Chapter 107: Connections Lin Zhuyue must be angry
The two girls who had played with the Pen Fairy, named Song Zhen and Liu Wenjin, were terrified. After being helped up by Bowie, they leaned against each other tremblingly.
Lin Zhuyue originally wanted to scold them, but seeing their pitiful appearance, she felt a little reluctant.
Sometimes she would envy Shican. After all, with Shican's hard heart, even if a girl cried bitterly and looked pitiful in front of him, he could still scold her without batting an eyelid and make her cry even harder, right?
Lin Zhuyue took the compass and carefully checked the four-person dormitory, then walked back and forth several times in the public area of the large suite.
The paper and pens used to summon the Pen Fairy, as well as the doors of each dormitory and the public area sinks, all showed signs of paranormal activity, both mild and severe. Lin Zhuyue could even detect wisps of black energy with her own eyes. However, she still hadn't seen the Pen Fairy who washed clothes in the middle of the night, knocked on the door, or caused sleep paralysis.
Lin Zhuyue took out his cell phone and called Shican.
After the call was connected, Shi Can started talking nonsense:
"What's wrong? You missed me so soon?"
"Yes, yes, I miss you."
After Lin Zhuyue answered him casually for a few words, she told Shi Can everything she had encountered and observed since she went upstairs, and said,
"I asked Xiao Yi, and she said there was no noise in the dormitory at noon, only at night. That ghost might be the kind that only comes out to play tricks on people at night. Because the group of girls summoned the spirit of the pen, it only appeared briefly during the day. When the girls were scared and dropped their pens, it hid again."
Shi Chan had already gotten back into the car and rolled up the window.
The little girls here kept staring at his face. Shi Can felt like a small matcha cake waiting for Lin Zhuyue to enjoy. Before the person he was trying to please could make a move, it had already been eaten up by passers-by as a sample.
Shi Chan put on sunglasses and asked:
"So how do you think we should deal with this ghost?"
"The focus now is not on ghosts, but on people."
Lin Zhuyue's voice became a little anxious.
"We can't leave Xiao Yi's dorm room, or even the girls in the entire suite, in the dormitory. It's not safe. Also, if this ghost is staying in the suite and not targeting a specific person, we also need to clear the area before we can deal with it."
"But... I can't explain this to so many people, and I don't have the right to ask them to temporarily leave the dormitory. I can't explain the situation to their parents..."
Shi Can didn't think this was a difficult problem at all, and said easily:
"I'll handle it. I need to make a phone call. I'll hang up first."
Lin Zhuyue hung up the phone and returned to Bowie's dormitory.
"I don't want to live here anymore. It's horrible."
Song Zhen sat next to Bowie, wiping away tears with her hands.
"I want to change dormitories, so you should ask my family to change as well..."
Bowie kept handing tissues to Song Zhen and comforted her:
"It's okay, it will be okay."
Liu Wenjin was relatively calm, but his condition was not good either.
About ten minutes later, there was a knock on the door of the large suite. Song Zhen and Liu Wenjin immediately became nervous and dared not even breathe.
"Open the door, it's me—"
At this time, the sound of the door of the dormitory next door opening was heard along with footsteps. The girl from the neighboring class came out of the small dormitory and opened the door of the large suite.
The girl called out, "Teacher Hu."
"Okay, okay, don't be nervous."
Bowie patted the shoulders of his roommates who were sitting on both sides of him and breathed a sigh of relief, and said,
"It's not a ghost, it's the life teacher. She must have something to do when she came here at noon. Should we go out and take a look?"
Teacher Hu was talking to the girls from the next class, asking them to wake up all the students who were taking a nap.
After Bowie, Song Zhen and Liu Wenjin came out of the dormitory, the girl glanced at them sideways with disgust and irritation in her eyes.
As Bowie described, there were many conflicts among the three small dormitories in this large suite because everyone thought that the sounds of washing, singing and knocking on doors that were always heard in the middle of the night were caused by other small dormitories.
The girls living in this large suite gradually arrived.
Teacher Hu asked, "Where's Jing Lan?"
Bowie replied, "To the library."
"Then remember to inform her."
Teacher Hu said to the students seriously,
"There's a problem with the water pipes in the dormitory building. If we need to repair it, your entire dormitory will be affected, and the water will be outage for one to two days. The school has asked you to stay in the hotel they've opened on campus for the next two days. Please pack your luggage, bring your textbooks for the next few days, and your ID card, and check in before 10 o'clock tonight."
Song Zhen's tears, which had just stopped, were about to fall again.
This time she was not afraid, but happy to have escaped from death.
After Mr. Hu announced the water outage arrangements, he continued:
"You guys go back and take a lunch break first, and stay in dormitory 40101."
Dormitory 4101 was Bowie's dormitory. After the girls from other dormitories left, Teacher Hu took out a tissue from her bag, wiped Song Zhen's eyes with a distressed look, and said soothingly:
"It's okay, don't cry. The principal said that this matter will be properly resolved. You can go out for two days and come back. The dormitory will be clean again."
Teacher Hu comforted the student for a while before leaving the dormitory.
Lin Zhuyue left some talismans for Bowie and asked her to share them with her roommates. She also did some tricks in the dormitory to ward off evil spirits and avoid disasters. Then she took the paper and pen that she had used to summon the Pen Fairy in the dormitory and went downstairs to find Shican.
Lin Zhuyue knocked on the car window. When the window was lowered, revealing Shi Can's face, she couldn't help but ask:
"How did you do that?"
"I called the principal."
Shi Can, wearing sunglasses, raised his head, looking cool, arrogant, and quite proud. After a while, he took off his sunglasses, looked sideways at Lin Zhuyue, blinked at her, and said,
"My beautiful, lovely, kind and generous partner, I want to eat at Quanjude."
"Okay, okay, I'll treat you."
Lin Zhuyue walked around the front of the car, opened the passenger seat and got in, saying,
"It's nearby. I'll locate it for you... How did you get the phone number of the principal of Yuancheng Foreign Language School?"
"I also have the phone number of the principal of Yuancheng No. 1 Middle School."
Shi Can reached out and touched the dumbfounded Lin Zhuyue's head. The smugness in his tone had not yet dissipated, but it added a bit of temptation and seduction.
"Do you like my connections? Want to share?"
Lin Zhuyue slapped Shican's hand away, fixed the phone with the navigation turned on so that Shican could see it at a glance when driving, and asked:
"How do you share? Can you introduce me to the big guys you know one by one?"
Lin Zhuyue's tone was not serious, but rather casual. Because Shi Can didn't look serious either, anything they said now was just a casual chat.
"How much trouble is that?"
Shi Can's eyes were a little erratic, and he tried his best to maintain a nonchalant and careless tone, and said,
"The fastest way is marriage. Once you establish a marriage relationship, you can enjoy most of what I have."
Lin Zhuyue was silent for a long time.
She reached out and touched Shi Chan's forehead.
Shi Can shook off Lin Zhuyue's hand:
"What? I don't have a fever."
Lin Zhuyue was seriously thinking about what was wrong with Shi Can. She analyzed:
"Are you feeling particularly lonely because most of your peers are already married? Hmm... you don't seem like someone who would feel lonely. With your personality, do you have any expectations of getting married?"
Shi Can said dissatisfiedly:
"What's wrong with my personality?"
Lin Zhuyue replied:
"She's the type of person who would choose to be single her whole life."
Shi Chan was so angry that he almost died.
But he didn't know how to refute it.
Before Lin Zhuyue showed up, even before she entered the underworld to save him, he'd been thinking, "Love? Marriage? What the hell is that?" He was completely asexual. If it weren't for his slight affection for 2D female figurines, Shi Can would have thought he was asexual, disliking women and even less men.
Lin Zhuyue comforted him, "Don't give up on yourself. Maybe you can still meet a girl you like..."
She stopped talking midway.
The girl that Shican likes?
Lin Zhuyue grabbed the seat belt, struggling internally.
She seemed unable to accept that Shican had a girl he liked.
If Shi Can fell in love with a girl, she could no longer live in Shi Can's house, eat with him, or keep his cat at his house, or sleep with his cat... She could no longer ask Shi Can to bake her Basque cake, or help blow-dry her hair, or stuff candies she didn't like into his mouth, or take his snack cabinet for granted...
Shi Can would no longer hold an umbrella for her, peel shrimp for her, drive her wherever she wanted to go, or accompany her all the way to Yuancheng.
The sense of security and happiness she gained from Shican and his family, which she could not find in her original family and were more precious than gold, silver and diamonds, will all be lost.
Lin Zhuyue felt empty inside.
"It's certain that you'll meet one."
Shi Can looked at Lin Zhuyue in despair and said,
"But even if you do meet someone, you might still be widowed for life."
After arriving at Quanjude, they ordered their food.
Shican’s favorite is roast duck skin dipped in white sugar. He works out all year round, so he doesn’t feel particularly guilty about eating this sugar and oil mixture.
Lin Zhuyue hung his head and was reluctant to eat.
Shi Can rolled up a duck pancake and handed it to her. Lin Zhuyue took it with her hand, said thank you very politely, and took a small bite.
Shi Chan asked worriedly, "Are you feeling unwell?"
Lin Zhuyue shook his head.
After the meal, Lin Zhuyue paid the bill.
They returned to the Foreign Language High School.
The school's own four-star hotel is located on campus, near the main entrance. It's often used to host visiting officials, principals from partner schools, and teachers invited to teach special courses. While the hotel is a bit pricey, it offers a pleasant environment and attentive service.
Lin Zhuyue and Shi Can booked two rooms in the hotel and rested in their rooms respectively.
Not long after Lin Zhuyue lay down, Shi Can knocked on her door. Lin Zhuyue got up to open the door. As soon as the door opened, a forehead thermometer was knocked on her forehead.
"No fever..."
Shi Chan asked worriedly,
"Lin Zhuyue, you really, really don't feel uncomfortable, right?"
Lin Zhuyue nodded: "Yeah."
Shi Can had no choice but to go back to his room, tossing and turning in bed, and finally took out his phone to create a small group and ask for help from his childhood friends.
Ye Yangjia: [How can you speak to a girl so frivolously? Have you confessed? Has she accepted? Why are you jumping right into a marriage? I'd be furious.]
Wen Miyan: [I think my partner is right. Your sweetheart must be angry.]
Shi Chan: [Then what should I do? ]
Ye Yangjia: [Kneeling on the durian shell to beg for her forgiveness.]
