Chapter 24 Living on campus
No matter what, Gu Yuan has officially enrolled.
That's right. From the moment he stepped into the school gate, he clearly felt that this century-old institution had accumulated too many things that ordinary people could not see.
Those blurred corners in the sunlight, the thin shadows wandering under the shade of the trees, the chill that suddenly drifted through the corridors of the teaching building...
There were far more "stuff" wandering around the school than he'd anticipated.
However, it is fortunate that the vast majority are just afterimages of obsession or confusion, and will not actively harm others.
Coincidentally, Li Yang and Ji Chen happened to be his roommates.
"Hi~ Gu Yuan, what a coincidence that we are roommates." Ji Chen's eyes lit up when he saw Gu Yuan.
Now Gu Yuan has returned to his cool but approachable demeanor.
"Please advise me."
Gu Yuan nodded politely, his tone calm.
He dragged his suitcase towards the empty bed by the window and glanced at the other two people in the dormitory out of the corner of his eye.
The yin energy surrounding Ji Chen was much weaker than the last time they met, but the opposite was true for Li Yang standing next to him. The boy wearing black-framed glasses was surrounded by a thick layer of yin energy that was almost condensed into substance.
Gu Yuan frowned.
"Tsk! What a lousy place! So small and cramped, and four of us have to squeeze in together? What century did this bed come from?"
Ji Yunzhou's voice, filled with extreme disgust and impatience, suddenly rang in my mind.
Gu Yuan's fingers, which were zipping up his backpack, paused slightly.
He put down his backpack and responded in his mind: "Isn't this what college dorms are like? It's part of communal living."
"Look at this bed board! It's so thick, you could even plant flowers there! Aren't you rich now? Didn't you always say you wanted to buy a house?"
Ji Yunzhou's voice was filled with undisguised contempt, as if this humble environment was a great insult to his dignity as a Ghost King:
"Is this place inhabited by people? Oh, no, I'm not human, but you are now!"
Gu Yuan rolled his eyes silently in his heart.
Why would a ghost be so picky about the living conditions of the living?
It's totally incomprehensible.
He stretched out his hand and lightly stroked the cold iron bedside with his fingertips. It was indeed covered with a layer of obvious dust and felt rough.
But for him, this is still within the acceptable range.
He deftly pulled out a package of wet wipes from the side pocket of his backpack.
"Don't live on campus? How can I better experience college life?"
As he unpacked, he asked calmly, "Integrating into a new environment, observing, feeling...isn't this part of 'life'?"
"Experience life? Look at all these people in this school, all of them are staring at you like hungry wolves! If it weren't for me..."
Ji Yunzhou's voice suddenly rose, filled with anxiety and dissatisfaction as if he was protecting his food.
Gu Yuan pulled out a wet towel and began to wipe the railings of the iron bed.
At the same time, he deliberately softened his tone and soothed her, "Okay, okay, I know, it's all your credit. You're the best! If it weren't for you, I would have been gnawed to the bone, right?"
The effect is immediate.
The angry voice in my head suddenly stopped.
Gu Yuan knew without even looking that he must have had that smug and satisfied expression on his face.
Who made him the Tsundere Ghost King?
"Gu Yuan, you chose this bed?"
Jichen came over at some point and stood less than a meter away from him: "I'll sleep in the bed across from you! From now on, we'll be brothers head to head!"
He gestured towards his bed against the wall, smiling broadly.
Gu Yuan raised his head and met Ji Chen's passionate eyes.
Ji Chen didn't know why, but he felt that Gu Yuan was very kind.
All right!
Mainly because he is good-looking.
Gu Yuan smiled and nodded, and at the same time took a half step back without leaving a trace, putting some distance between him and Ji Chen.
The dormitory door was pushed open again, and a tall boy walked in, carrying two large bags of daily necessities.
"Ah, hello, I'm Lu Yi, from the Physical Education Department."
The new roommate has a loud and powerful voice and exudes a healthy aura.
What was even more strange was that a faint golden light surrounded Zhang Yi.
That is the aura that only upright people have, and it has a natural deterrent effect on evil things.
Jichen and Li Yang felt much better instantly.
"Hello, I'm Gu Yuan, from the Computer Science Department."
Gu Yuan took the initiative to greet him, and at the same time said to Ji Yunzhou in his heart: "Look, here comes someone with strong yang energy. Now the dormitory is balanced."
Ji Yunzhou snorted, "Hmph, with this thin yang energy, it might be enough to fool even the lowest level wandering ghosts, but it can't even subdue those with even a little bit of Taoism."
Gu Yuan ignored his complaints and reached out to tidy up his desk.
Seeing the unmade bed, he leaned on the cold iron bed railing, frowned slightly, and his face seemed to turn a little paler. He called out weakly in his heart:
"Ji Yunzhou... I feel so tired... I can't hold on any longer..."
Ji Yunzhou: “…”
After a brief silence, there was a deeper irritation and helpless concern: "What kind of broken body is this? Is it made of paper? You fainted after just a few movements?
Are you trying to scare your less yang-filled roommates to death by fainting here, or are you trying to attract more unclean things?"
"Can you help me make the bed..."
Gu Yuan's voice carried a sense of dependence that was almost coquettish in his consciousness.
“Tsk—!”
Ji Yunzhou smacked his lips in extreme dissatisfaction, but finally compromised.
The next moment, the cool and peaceful aura around Gu Yuan suddenly subsided, and his eyes instantly became sharp and deep, as if he had become a different person.
He sighed, feeling that being the Ghost King was becoming increasingly frustrating.
Lu Yi keenly noticed Gu Yuan's change, but he said nothing.
Just as "Gu Yuan" put the last book on the bookshelf, Gu Yuan said he wanted to go for a walk around the campus.
Ji Yunzhou had no choice but to wander around.
They were attracted by a sharp female voice:
"I don't want to live in this building! Absolutely not!"
"Gu Yuan" stopped and looked at a girl with a terrified face in the distance. It was Liu Qian.
She grabbed the arm of the girl next to her tightly, her eyes wide open, and kept shaking her head.
"Liu Qian? What's wrong with you? You have such big dark circles under your eyes?"
The girl she caught, probably named Tian Tian, asked worriedly.
"Keep your voice down, there really is a ghost in this school."
Liu Qian's voice was trembling, and even from a distance, "Gu Yuan" could hear the fear in her words.
Tian Tian opened her mouth, but in the end said nothing, just patted Liu Qian on the back lightly.
When Liu Qian said the word "ghost", Tian Tian's eyes flashed. She did dream about senior Mo Lin last night.
Ji Yunzhou's voice echoed in Gu Yuan's mind: "The girl named Liu Qian has signs of being haunted by a ghost. She's not far from death. The Yin energy on Tian Tian has decreased a little."
"You can't persuade someone who's seeking death."
Gu Yuan said calmly that he couldn't even save himself and had no energy to save others.
The suggestion he made in the coffee shop yesterday was the least amount of goodwill he could offer.
