Chapter 438: Chapter 79_4

In an instant, the girl’s expression froze as if she were paused.

The boy reached out, patted the girl’s arm, and said softly,

"Return."

With a "whoosh," from Tan Wenbin’s perspective, it seemed like a large puddle of water suddenly fell on the desk and then all seeped into those high heels.

"Brother Binbin."

"Yeah."

"Wash the shoes, then put them in an open box and place it under the balcony."

"Alright."

Tan Wenbin went to pick up the high heels, surprised to find that even though they had absorbed a lot of water earlier, they were still very dry inside.

Only on the surface of the shoes, there remained the black dog blood he had previously applied by hand.

Li Zhiyuan then began to tidy up the desk, his previous sealing method was somewhat cruel, but he did not think it was excessive; if not for his abilities, the first night he stayed here, it could have been him possessed and dancing in these high heels.

Lu Yi would just become a campus ghost story, and he might even make the newspapers: "High school top scholar genius goes insane, beware of the dangers of overreaching."

And,

since he intended to keep her as a guardian shoe,

he had the responsibility to take good care of her, or if she caused any trouble after being involved with his karma, Heavenly Dao would surely hold him accountable.

He had also found a blind spot of Heavenly Dao here, Lu Yi was just a minor obstacle, as for whatever sins she had committed before or how many people she had driven insane, he didn’t know, and he hadn’t asked. Ignorance is innocence.

"Phew..."

After cleaning the table, Tan Wenbin returned with the washed high heels, he originally wanted to wipe them with paper, but found they had dried again.

"Brother Xiao Yuan, it seems very thirsty."

"You can water it when you have time."

Tan Wenbin blinked, "Eh, bro, you’re not joking, right?"

"Seriously, treat it like watering flowers."

"All right." Tan Wenbin wrapped it with a black plastic bag, then placed it under the balcony, stood up, looked around, and chuckled, "Our dorm feels super secure now, it’d be a shame if no thieves ever break in."

"Yeah."

It’s much safer than before, but still not as safe as at Grandmaster’s House.

In the past, even Uncle Qin had to be a security guard at Grandmaster’s House.

Li Zhiyuan picked up the basin, and Tan Wenbin immediately followed suit, saying, "Let’s go, let’s wash together."

After the two had bathed, Li Zhiyuan lay down on the bed.

Tan Wenbin wasn’t in a hurry to go to bed; he would still need to study at the desk later, but before that, he walked to the bench, turned the copper mirror to face the door, and started the door protection.

After doing all this, he squatted next to the wooden stool, carefully observing the copper mirror.

"Brother Xiao Yuan, can you make one of these mirrors for me too, it’s really pretty."

"It wasn’t made by me."

"Ah? Is it a real antique?"

"Yes, a Six-patterned copper mirror."

"Wow." Tan Wenbin exclaimed in admiration, then switched to the mindset of a normal person understanding antiques, "How much is it worth?"

"Don’t know."

"Eh, Brother Xiao Yuan, can you give a rough estimate?"

"There’s an identical one in the national museum."

Tan Wenbin: "..."

Tan Wenbin moved his face back, fearing his breath might tarnish it.

"Brother Xiao Yuan, where did you get this mirror from?"

"It was a return gift from someone."

"My god, what did you give them?"

"You study, I’m going to sleep."

"Okay."

Li Zhiyuan adjusted the pillow and closed his eyes.

This copper mirror was a return gift from Alii, and that morning, what he first gave Alii was: a box of Go game pieces with a plastic-wrapped board, from a stationery shop next to Shinan Town Elementary School.

Waking up, Li Zhiyuan opened his eyes, turned his head habitually, and saw Tan Wenbin sound asleep on the desk.

Binbin seemed to prove he was smarter than Yin Meng, so he stayed up all night to memorize thoroughly, since he could nap during the day.

Actually, Yin Meng was not dumb, but she couldn’t surpass Run Sheng in training, and couldn’t beat Tan Wenbin in learning magic and traversing the underworld, so she was teased as the dumbest among the three.

Li Zhiyuan sat up from the bed, every morning, he would silently ask while looking out the window: when will Grandma Liu and the others move here.

He could no longer see Alii, and didn’t know if her condition could continue improving, but his own condition seemed to be deteriorating.

He left the dormitory to wash up.

Lu Yi also came to wash up with his basin.

Li Zhiyuan: "Morning."

"Morning, Brother Genius."

Lu Yi hesitated a few times as if he wanted to say something, Li Zhiyuan noticed but didn’t bring it up or start the conversation.

Actually, Lu Yi’s misfortune last night might have been caused by paying respects to the Corpse during the day, even though Li Zhiyuan had taught him how to receive gifts, it might have still brought some trouble.

Not everyone who pays respects to the General’s statue encounters trouble, but their fortune could decrease, and Lu Yi just happened to live in a dormitory with an evil spirit.

As Li Zhiyuan cleaned up ready to leave, Lu Yi reached out, gently tugging the sleeve of the boy’s clothes.

Despite being a tall and strong man from the Northeast, he appeared as shy and delicate as a woman from the south.

"It’s...it’s just...that... Brother Genius...is there really a ghost in our dormitory?"

"No, I tricked you."

"Ah!" Lu Yi instantly cried out, "Brother Genius, save me, please save me!"

If Li Zhiyuan had continued to answer "yes, there’s a ghost," it would’ve been more bearable for him, the direct denial felt like a doctor telling you "go home and eat some good food."

"It’s fine, really."

"Brother Genius, bro, you’re like my real brother."
