Chapter 107: Chapter 107: School Beauty Jumps Off the Building_1

Watching others speed away in a cloud of dust, you couldn’t help saying to Du Xishan in the passenger seat, "Tell me, Lao Du, as a professor at Jiangzhe University with a six-figure annual income, you aren’t embarrassed to be driving such a clunker?"

"You don’t understand, this is called nostalgia."

"Yes, bad nostalgia—both bad and old." You laughed and shook your head, then added, "Hey, who’s that fat guy?"

"He and I have been friends since childhood, and we were also college classmates. Oh, that’s right, he’s a professor at Eastern Sea University."

"Both professors, yet why is there such a big disparity?"

"Quit yapping. Didn’t you also get quite a bit out of this trip?"

"A lousy stone, what sort of gain is that." As you said this, you once again opened the rosewood box, took out the stone, and when you looked at the black stone in the sunlight, you saw what appeared to be text inside!

You brought the stone up close for a detailed look and found the text inside incredibly fine, almost the size of ants.

You immediately used your left eye’s magnification ability, and upon closer inspection, you discovered the text inside the stone was actually Oracle Bone Script!

You had never delved into Oracle Bone Script, but this wasn’t much of a problem for you; a quick look at some related books when you got back would enable you to decode it.

Thinking this, you put the stone back into the rosewood box and carelessly tossed it into your backpack. Then you stepped on the accelerator, and the car slowly took to the road home...

Due to a traffic jam on the return trip, you were stuck on the highway for over two hours, and by the time you got back to the university, it was already very late.

Du Xishan had planned to treat you to dinner, but after he received a phone call, he rushed off in a hurry, leaving you and Fan Yi at the school gate.

You glanced at your electronic watch and said to Fan Yi, "The campus cafeteria should be closed by now, let’s just find a restaurant outside and have a quick meal."

In your presence, Fan Yi always had a habit of going along with all your arrangements, like an obedient little sister.

After driving all day and to ward off the hunger, you ate three plates of Yang Zhou fried rice, drawing curious glances from the other tables. It was well known that the portions of fried rice near the university were quite generous; under normal circumstances, one plate would be enough for two girls to finish, but you polished off three in a row, revealing a contented expression afterward that made the small restaurant’s owner take a few extra glances your way.

As for Fan Yi, you ordered her a bowl of meat and bread soup. She tore the bread into tiny pieces and ate it bite by bite with the soup, as if it was the most delicious thing she had ever tasted.

After the meal, you checked the time again and found it was nearly eight o’clock, so regardless of the looks from others around you, you insisted on walking Fan Yi back to her dormitory.

Fan Yi always naturally accepted everything you did, and she seemed to have become accustomed to this way of interaction, which made you feel even more peculiar.

Watching Fan Yi’s retreating figure as she entered her dormitory building, for some reason, you found yourself missing Zhao’er even more.

Zhao’er...

Sigh!

What’s the use in thinking about it?

Even now, you were still nothing more than an ant at the mercy of others.

With a not-so-cheerful mood, you slowly walked in the direction of your own dormitory.

As you passed a women’s dorm building, a sudden scream came from inside!

There were still quite a few people passing by at the time, and you, along with those around you, looked toward the source of the noise. Unlike ordinary people who enjoy gossiping, your left eye spotted a tiny head poking out of a second-floor window.

It was a baby!

Feeling your gaze, the infant shrank back again.

Ghost Infant?

You frowned, not expecting to see a ghost infant in this newly built girls’ dormitory.

But what of it?

If it doesn’t concern me, why should I bother?

Besides, the creation of a ghost infant is mostly due to a tragic fate. Obviously, this ghost infant was either abandoned by its parents or a result of an abortion. As for such matters, you were too lazy to care and had no interest in intervening.

"Ah—don’t come over here! Stay away!"

Another scream rang out, and now the people by the roadside could see, on the second-floor balcony, a girl in a sexy nightgown holding a teddy bear, bowing her head and shouting incessantly.

It seemed as though she was facing something extremely terrifying, constantly backing away even though the balcony railing was behind her; she kept moving backward!

"Be careful!"

Some boys passing by in the corridor couldn’t help but crowd around.

You just watched, without even a frown.

Suddenly, amid the exclamations of the crowd, the girl jumped off the balcony. Luckily, there were many boys below, and as soon as they saw her leap down, they rushed forward and clumsily caught her.

The ghost infant had climbed onto the balcony too. It saw you watching it closely and couldn’t help but shrink back slowly, fading into the darkness.

You paid no attention to the fallen girl, turned around, walked past the crowd, and headed towards your dorm.

No sooner had you returned to the dorm than you heard Yang Kai gossiping, "Ah, if I had been there, I would’ve been the first to rush up and cop a feel in all kinds of ways."

"Mhm, I’ll be sure to relay every single word you just said, exactly as it is, to Nie Ying."

Hearing your voice, Yang Kai hurriedly flung himself at you, "Don’t do that, Old Shu, we’re like brothers. You can’t betray me!"

"You’re just the type who can’t go a day without causing trouble," you said as you pushed away Yang Kai, who was pretending to kiss you, and wiped your hands, now covered in disgusting saliva, onto his body, "Little Kai, don’t say I didn’t warn you; love isn’t a one-person affair. Both you and Nie Ying need to work on it. Especially Nie Ying; she’s not your common girl. It’s not always as simple as pacifying her after a fight. Given her special status, if resentful qi surges up, you’ll be the one to reap the sorry results."

Hearing such grave words from you, Yang Kai couldn’t help but stick his tongue out, "I won’t make those kind of jokes anymore."

"I’ve told you before to watch your mouth. Luckily, Sister Ying didn’t hear you today, or you’d be in deep trouble!" Wei Shuxian slapped Yang Kai’s back with the thick book he was holding, then turned to you and asked, "Did you hear about it?"

"What?"

"Liu Qing, one of the top beauties from the Foreign Languages Department, jumped from the building."

"Oh, that." You shrugged, "I was just downstairs and saw it with my own eyes."

"You saw it?" All three exclaimed at once.

"Hey, hey, Old Shu, what did you see? Liu Qing was wearing her nightgown, right? Big—cough, never mind, forget I said that!"

Wei Shuxian gave Yang Kai a disdainful look and asked, "They say Liu Qing encountered something wicked. Since you were there, tell us what happened."

You slumped into your chair and yawned, "Actually, it’s nothing much; Liu Qing was entangled by the ghost infant."
