Chapter 22
“You really want to go?”
“I do!”
“You’re really going?”
“Yes!”
“You don’t want to think about it some more?”
“I’m done thinking, I’m going now!”
In the bright and spacious living room, Lian Xi watched his housemate pull up the suitcase zipper and then head towards the door without hesitation.
Lian Xi: “Didn’t you just pay the rent for three months?”
Su Jiao: “…”
****, he forgot about that.
Su Jiao snorted coldly: “I’ll worry about that later, I’ll talk to Xiao Liu tomorrow.”
Lian Xi: “…”
Okay ba.
Lian Xi personally escorted his housemate out, watching Su Jiao walk into the elevator without hesitation. When the elevator door closed gently, he sighed helplessly: “What’s gotten into him, making things so weird and awkward?”
On the other hand, when the elevator door closed, the short housemate’s angry and serious expression immediately collapsed. Su Jiao scratched his head and stared at the metal door of the elevator in a daze.
“****? I came just out like this? Lian Xi can’t you work a little bit harder to keep me? Talking is not enough, you need to use your actions! You should have grabbed me!”
Before he had even gotten downstairs, Su Jiao regretted it.
With a ding-dong, the elevator door slowly opened.
Standing outside the door was a housewife who had just returned from buying vegetables. She saw Su Jiao standing unmoving in the elevator for a long time and asked: “Aren’t you coming out or not?”
Su Jiao let out an “ah!” and was ejected out of the elevator. By the time he reacted, the elevator had already gone up. He stood downstairs looking at the elevator door for five minutes in a daze.
Su Jiao muttered: “I’ll give you another five minutes to come down and plead with me to stay.”
Then, five minutes later.
“…”
“Fine, I’ll go then!”
“Hmph, I’ll just go back to the school dormitory!”
The handsome, short young man dragged his suitcase and strode aggressively towards the gate of the community. The gears of the suitcase hit the cobblestoned ground and made a clattering sound.
…
Lian Xi had no idea why Su Jiao had to move out.
Even if he doesn’t want to live with the ghost official of Su City for fear of being killed by the other party, then wasn’t that just because of the previous Black Reaper?
Although the current Black Reaper was also mysterious and elusive but it had been so long already and Lie Chen clearly had no intention of killing Su City’s other XuanXiu. Everyone can still live together peacefully.
So why was Su Jiao being so awkward?
Of course Lian Xi didn’t know what Su Jiao was thinking about. Just like how a straight man could never understand the difference in color between scarlet and cherry or why YSL’s supermodel liquid foundation was only suitable for summer and not winter…. Also what was the difference between liquid foundation and pressed powder, were they not the same thing?
In fact, Su Jiao had been secretly mad for several days now.
Lian Xi has changed, he was not like this before!
In the past, they would eat takeaway together and occasionally watch TV and play games together. They had a good time.
In fact when Su Jiao first moved into his new home, the two had a normal relationship and seldom talked. However, after Xu Lang’s soul separation incident, Su Jiao felt that the relationship between the two became much closer and they would often laugh and talk.
They were harmonious housemates and had a friendly coexistence.
Everything was wonderful.
Until the Black Reaper in Su City suddenly appeared and Lian Xi suddenly turned into an ass kisser!
“What’s so good about that black ghost official that you have to stay with him all day. Every day in the middle of the night, you have to go out to catch ghosts and reincarnate them. Then you sleep during the day and come out at night again. I can’t even see your shadow! You haven’t even talked to me properly in three days!”
It was like a primary student throwing a tantrum. Originally we were best friends, but suddenly a third party intruded in. You ignored me all of a sudden and just played with him.
Su Jiao was really mad to death.
However, how come he was just angry on his own and Lian Xi didn’t even seem to notice, and every night he would still go out and still be a romantic pair with that annoying black ghost official and chase ghosts together.
Once he got in the taxi, Su Jiao was still feeling very depressed. He said to the driver, “Going to Su City University.”
The driver pressed the meter: “Okay!”
Whatever, anyway his mentor had recently given him a project to do. Every day he was busy to death so living at the graduate dormitory for a while wasn’t a bad thing and he could concentrate on research, killing two birds with one stone. Hehe, just let Lian Xi’s ass kissing behaviour continue, go ahead and keep kissing up to that black ghost official, see if he can help you have a good life next life!

Su City University is the largest comprehensive university in SuZhou, and it is also quite famous throughout the country. {I’m going to start translating Su City as SuZhou from now on because of something coming up.}
The graduate dormitory was located at the corner of the school’s north campus, near an artificial lake. The late summer wind blew gently across the reeds on the lake, causing ripples.
Graduate students have an independent canteen and dormitory area, separate from undergraduate students.
Su Jiao’s research direction is ancient Chinese folk culture. His college is next to the graduate dormitory building and was only a five-minute walk away from it. He had been living outside before because the graduate dormitory was shared between two people. Since he has to have a roommate, it is better to live in that murder house. That apartment was both bigger and cheaper. It was 160 square meters. Once the bedroom door is closed, you can enjoy your own little world.
Now that Su Jiao is back in the dormitory, his roommate was very enthusiastic and even went downstairs to help him carry his luggage.
Su Jiao was a little embarrassed: “Thank you for helping me carry my luggage even though it’s the first time we’ve met.”
The roommate is a big and thick man and wore a singlet vest. It was completely impossible to tell he was a gentleman who studied ancient Chinese. He smiled and carried Su Jiao’s suitcase: “No problem. You are Teacher Li’s student. I have heard about you before. My supervisor showed me your paper last month and praised you all the time. He says you’re really awesome.”
Su Jiao heard his accent: “Are you from the north?”
Roommate: “I’m from ShanDong.”
Su Jiao: “Hey what a coincidence, I’m from QuFu!”
Roommate: ” Oh I’m from QingDao. It must be fate. My name is Xie Ze and you can call me Lao Xie. I’m going to help my tutor with an undergraduate class later and then do you want to have dinner together at night? Also, Teacher Li seems to have something to give to you. He asked an undergraduate student to give it to you. You will wait downstairs later and someone should come by to deliver it.” {Lao = Old, refers to someone older than you.}
Su Jiao: “Ah, I don’t know them ah. Who’s going to give it to me, what do they look like and do you have their contact information?”
Xie Ze: “It’s the monitor of the sophomore undergraduate class of the College of Arts. He’s a man who looks like a bamboo pole, you will know him at a glance. “
Su Jiao nodded: “OK, thank you ah. “
They took the trunk into the dorm room. His housemate left to go to class and Su Jiao tidied things up a bit before going downstairs to wait for that person.
“Will I really meet him like this? I don’t have his contact information or anything…” Su Jiao muttered softly then lowered his head to play with his cell phone in a bored manner.
Just as he was thinking, a soft and crisp laughter sounded from behind: “Are you Senior Brother Su?”
Su Jiao was taken aback and looked back.
In front of the swaying grass reeds, stood a girl with a ponytail and a white dress.
The girl has a round face which is not extremely pretty but was pleasing to the eye. Because of his height, Su Jiao is especially sensitive to the height of others, so he calculated it subconsciously. This girl was 155cm at most.
All of a sudden, there he felt a sense of intimacy.
Su Jiao: “Yes, my surname is Su, who are you?”
The girl smiled: “Hello senior brother, I’m here to help Teacher Li send the materials. My name is Sun Yan, I’m in my sophomore year.”
Su Jiao: “Hey, didn’t they say it was a boy that was going to bring it?”
“Wang Chao, he has something on so I’m doing him a favor.”
“Oh, thank you. You can leave the information with me.”
The girl handed the information over: “Teacher Li always mentioned you when he was teaching me in undergraduate classes. So senior brother, we have always been curious about you but you don’t show up in the school. I heard Brother Xie say that he shares a dormitory with you, but you never lived at the graduate dormitory.”
Su Jiao: “Oh, I just moved back and plan to live here for a while.”
“Senior brother, we are going to have dinner tonight, do you want to come and eat with us?”
Su Jiao didn’t react at once: “Huh?”
The girl: “There are a lot of graduate students, seniors sisters and seniors brothers also going. Senior brothers, you should come too. Everyone wants to know what Teacher Li’s proudest student is like. I never expected you would look this handsome.”
Su Jiao laughed: “Are I that handsome?”
The girl smiled.
Su Jiao: “Okay, let’s eat together tonight.”
“Then senior brother, let’s add a WeChat and take a taxi together tonight.”
“Oh, OK.”
Su Jiao quickly took out his mobile phone and added the girl’s WeChat.
Until he went upstairs and returned to the dormitory, Su Jiao felt happy and like he was walking on air.
Didn’t he say it before? He was really handsome. From young to old, he always received a lot of love letters every week. After coming to SuZhou, he didn’t know what went wrong. First, Xiao Liu, the real estate agent, had such bad eyes and actually like the black ghost official’s type. Then Lian Xi, that ass kisser, followed that black ghost official around all day.
Now this is the correct script ma!
At this moment, his phone vibrated, and Su Jiao opened it.
It was Lian Xi’s WeChat message.
[Lian Xi: When are you coming back? I found out that you left some facial masks in the bathroom and forgot to take them. ]
Haha!
[Su Jiao: You can take them. ]
[Lian Xi:? ? ? I don’t apply face mask.]
[Su Jiao: Then give that black ghost official to use. ]
Lian Xi was silent for a while, and only after a few minutes did he reply to the message.
[Lian Xi: Su Jiao, do you have some kind of prejudice against the Black Reaper? In fact, he’s pretty good most of the time. He does act a bit up himself at times and doesn’t know how to communicate with others, but at least he’s quite reasonable and doesn’t kill people for good no reason like the previous Black Reaper.]
Su Jiao: “…”
You are still talking for him!
This smelly man doesn’t understand anything at all! ! !
“Heh, I don’t need you as a friend anymore, I have lots more friends now!”
He gave Lian Xi a perfunctory reply in the form of a kitty emoji then Su Jiao continued to pack his bags. Soon, he received a WeChat message from the girl and his new roommate also sent him a laughing face: [You’re pretty good brother, you just came back for half a day and someone already organized a welcome party for you? I’ll go back after class and pick you up for dinner.]
[Su Jiao: Okay.]
At sunset, the university campus was full of young people. There were students who had just finished class riding their bicycles to the dormitory and also freshmen who had just arrived at the university and were ignorant and curious about everything.
On the wide playground, basketball players were sweating.
In the cafeteria, students came in and out.
A girl in a white dress with a small round face walked out of the school canteen and walked to the dormitory. When passing by the basketball court, she stood for a while, and when the group of seniors finished playing their game, she passed over the bag of bottled water that she had just bought.
“I just bought some water. Brother Liu and Brother Ji, do you want to drink water? The other brothers, are you thirsty? Here, drink some water.”
A tall boy took the bottled water and said with a smile: “Yan Zi, I heard that you’re holding a welcome party for Teacher Li’s graduate student tonight?” {The girl’s name is Sun Yan, ‘Yan Zi’ is her nickname.}
“Yes, Brother Su just moved back to the dormitory and he is not familiar with everyone. I just wanted to have a meal together so he can get to know everyone.”
“Okay when the time comes, call me.”
Sun Yan: “Okay. By the way, Senior Sister Xiao is free, should I ask her to come too?”
“Her ah, forget it. I messaged her back five minutes late today at noon and she got mad. Don’t call her tonight, wait until after I coax her tomorrow.”
“Ah, Senior Sister Xiao is not such a stingy person. Did you do something Senior Brother?”
“Hehe, she is stingy, stingy to death. Last month for Qixi Festival gift she gave me some stupid scarf, who knows where she got it from. Is she sick ah? Giving someone a scarf in the middle of summer.”
The boys beside him laughed and gaped: “Did she make it personally?”
Sun Yan wondered, “Senior Sister Xiao is so busy every day, does she still have time to knit scarves? I heard that she is too busy to even eat.”
“She doesn’t have enough caring bones in her body to knit a scarf. Forget it.”
Everyone laughed.
Saying goodbye to the seniors, the girl in the white skirt walked towards the dormitory.
When she reached the door of the dormitory, she took out her student card and planned to swipe it to enter the door but she stopped moving just as she raised her hand. In the next second, she slowly turned her head and looked at the corner by the door.
“What’s that? It wasn’t there this morning. Who put it there?”
In the corner of the narrow and cramped corridor, there was a strange sculpture.
The half-height sculpture seems to be made of ceramic clay. It was somewhat old looking with mottled paint. It looks like a little white dove with two wings curled back. It had black eyes, bright red lips, and a bumpy, lumpy body. Although the university campus was bustling with people, this sculpture had a strange atmosphere all over his body.
Also she didn’t know why but….
Sun Yan stopped and stared at it as though she was possessed. She just kept watching and watching, as if her whole person was being sucked into those dark eyes.
After a long time, Sun Yan lowered her head with a crunching sound and looked at the line of words carved on the neck of this little white dove.
She read each word softly.
“Can you tell me… your dream?”
