Chapter 419: Chapter 75_3

Li Zhiyuan sipped his tea, then quietly set down the cup.

Having gotten used to Liu Yumei’s tea leaves, he now found himself a bit fussy.

The dishes were served quickly, including a roasted fish.

"Hey," Xue Liangliang picked up a piece of fish with his chopsticks, "the main reason I invested in this restaurant is to make it convenient for myself to come eat."

Run Sheng replied, "Then you should have opened it by the Yangtze River, it would be even more convenient."

Xue Liangliang turned and shouted to the kitchen, "Cook another pail of rice, we have someone here with a big appetite, and the rice we have isn’t enough to fill his mouth."

After the meal, Xue Liangliang drove the truck away; he had to report back to Mr. Luo.

Run Sheng and Yin Meng went to the affordable store, taking advantage of the off-season to get acquainted with their work.

Li Zhiyuan and Tan Wenbin returned to the dormitory. While hanging their clothes from the luggage bags, Tan Wenbin said:

"Xiao Yuan, do you think that student who was originally looking after the store was deliberately driven away by Brother Liang?"

"Mhm."

"I even suspect that Brother Liang deliberately had someone tempt him into taking kickbacks, just to have a reason to get rid of him. But why would he do that? If the person was dishonest, why not fire him earlier?"

"Brother Liangliang doesn’t have the energy to deal with school affairs anymore, and someone else taking over might be just as corrupt, but this person was perhaps less greedy."

"Jeez, Brother Liang is really generous, giving us a store just like that. From now on, we can just go directly to Run Sheng’s place for food and drinks, hahaha."

Li Zhiyuan sat down at the desk but wasn’t in a hurry to open the book in front of him; instead, he turned to look at the tree outside the window.

He still remembered the first time he met Brother Liang, on the riverbank of the ’Tiaohu’ in his hometown.

Back then, although Brother Liang had already shown a temperament completely different from others, he still carried a greenness and shyness about him.

Over the past year, after following Mr. Luo around, Brother Liang had indeed become much more mature and skilled.

After all, everyone was changing.

For example, Tan Wenbin, who had just hung up their clothes and changed into a tank top and sports shorts.

"Brother Binbin, are you really going for a night run?"

"Yeah."

"Then why did you take a shower just now?"

"I thought you might feel awkward showering alone."

"Oh."

"I’m off, Yuanzi."

"Be careful."

"What you said, how could I encounter anything dirty on the very first day moving into the school before the term even starts?"

"Don’t talk like that."

"Hey, I’m just kidding."

After Tan Wenbin went downstairs, he saw the dormitory supervisor, Alii, moving things and offered to help. Then she invited him to the office for a glass of water and a chat.

By the time he ran out of the dorm building, it was already ten at night, and lights were still on at the nearby affordable store.

Tan Wenbin started running in the opposite direction, planning to make a loop and if Run Sheng and the others were still in the store, he would ask for a soda to drink.

The places he had seen during the day looked another way at night, and with the holiday, the campus was very quiet and empty.

Tan Wenbin ran to a small artificial lake, which was really just a large pond.

He hadn’t been running along the lake for long before he heard the same running footsteps behind him.

Moreover, the person behind him called out: "Hey, classmate, hello!"

Tan Wenbin immediately sped up, going from a jog to a sprint.

"Hey, classmate, why are you running?"

After running quite a distance, Tan Wenbin gradually slowed down and stopped. Looking back, he saw no one.

"Yeah, what am I running for?"

It was he who wanted to go out and try his luck, yet when he might have actually encountered something, his first reaction was to run.

"Must be because I’ve been living comfortably too long and haven’t gotten into the groove, yep, definitely not because I’m a ’Lord Ye’ who loves dragons but fears them."

Back in the dorm, Li Zhiyuan was reading under the desk lamp.

The new environment provided a good reading backdrop.

"Drip-drip-drip..."

Footsteps echoed from the corridor outside the dorm, approaching from afar.

Li Zhiyuan raised his head; it wasn’t Tan Wenbin coming back, because Binbin wouldn’t wear high heels to run.

"Drip-drip-drip..."

The sound drew closer and finally stopped at the end of the corridor on this floor.

Then,

A light rubbing sound.

That was someone turning around, facing the door of the dorm.

"Knock... knock... knock..."

There was a knocking at the door, each knock sounded muffled, echoing in the chilly corridor.

"Brother Binbin, you really don’t need to go for a night run."

Li Zhiyuan closed the book, opened the desk drawer, and took out a purple whip.

There were four Demon Suppression Whips made, all black except for Li Zhiyuan’s, which was purple.

Because Alii took the remnants of the old brand’s exterior skin and carefully wrapped it up bit by bit.

Holding the whip, he stood up.

"Click!"

Li Zhiyuan turned off the desk lamp, and the brightness in the dorm dropped sharply. A too-bright lamp could spoil the atmosphere.

The knocking on the dorm door paused for a moment as a result.

Li Zhiyuan walked towards the dorm door, and on the way, he also turned off the ceiling light, plunging the dorm into complete darkness, which was the best backdrop.

The knocking from outside slowed down.

The boy stood in front of the door and said, "The door’s not locked."

The knocking hesitated.

The boy grabbed the doorknob without hesitation and "creaked" the door wide open.

Outside, there was no one.

Li Zhiyuan held the whip and walked out of the dorm, even deliberately closing the dorm door behind him.

"Bang!"

From the other end of the corridor came the "click-clack... click-clack..." of high heels, but no figure was visible.

Li Zhiyuan walked towards the sound, and seeing he wasn’t closing the distance, he started to run.

"Click-clack! Click-clack! Click-clack!"

The sound of the high heels became faster and more distant, eventually disappearing completely.

Li Zhiyuan stopped,

It had run away.
