Chapter 149: Chapter 149 I Like You_1

She walked slowly, each step taken seemed somewhat hesitant, but when it came down, it was firm.

At this moment, in her eyes, there was only you.

"Old Shu, we’ll walk ahead a bit and wait for you there," Wei Shuxian patted your shoulder, and the three of them tactfully left.

Coming up to you, Wu Qiyi still looked steadfastly at you, the distance between the two of you only half a step.

You didn’t speak, and neither did she.

The moonlight was enticing, the pale moonbeams draped over her seemingly delicate figure, and in the moonlight, you noticed her gaze growing firmer.

"That... is there something you want to talk about?" You hesitated for a moment before finally breaking the silence.

Wu Qiyi kept her eyes on you, her sensual red lips slightly pursed. To be in such close proximity and making eye contact with her made you irresistibly want to pull her into your arms, melt her with your heart, and merge with her completely.

Only...

"I like you."

She... she suddenly said something that caught you off guard.

At that moment, you felt your brain short-circuit.

To be honest, since you were very young, you had both considered each other the only one for this lifetime, but later Wu Qiyi hid her illness, made a promise to you, and left.

Over the years, you never forgot about the Er Ya from back then, but as time went by, you buried her deep in your heart.

On the first day of senior year, from a great distance, you saw her. In that instant, a very special feeling rushed into your heart! After that, for three years, Wu Qiyi’s face haunted you like a shadow; whether you opened or closed your eyes, she was there.

However, during those three years, you never spoke with her, and a long distance always remained between you and her.

It wasn’t until Zhao’er appeared that your heart was completely filled.

That day, by the lakeside, you kissed Zhao’er and also made a vow in your heart, that she would be the only one for you this lifetime!

Taking a deep breath, you controlled your emotions and tried to make your voice sound steady and indifferent, "I... I have Zhao’er now."

"Mhm, I know," Wu Qiyi nodded slightly, still looking at you, her eyes carried a determination that you couldn’t understand, "saying some things out loud, makes the heart feel more at ease."

"I’m sorry."

You didn’t know what to say to comfort Wu Qiyi at this time, just looking at her, feeling heavy inside.

"It’s okay."

Wu Qiyi smiled, like an evening primrose blooming under the moonlight, breathtakingly beautiful.

"Um..."

For a moment, you felt a bit lost, scratching your head, unsure of what to say next.

Wu Qiyi, however, seemed quite at peace, she asked you in a very calm tone, "Can we still talk like this in the future... as friends?"

"Huh?"

You looked at her in surprise.

"I mean, as friends, can we talk without any barriers, like we are now?"

"Of course," you smiled, "we’ve always been good friends, haven’t we? We even said we’d be friends for life when we were kids."

"Mhm, okay, goodbye."

Wu Qiyi suddenly turned around and quickly got back into the car.

"Sister Xiaoyou, you’re crying."

"It’s okay, this is tears of joy."

Wu Qiyi sat in the passenger seat, looking at you the whole time.

You waved at them and turned to walk towards Yang Kai and the others in the distance.

"Miss, you really don’t need to belittle yourself like this," Xi Yu, in the driver’s seat, said with a worried look at Wu Qiyi, "With your beauty and status, you could have your pick of men, plenty of whom are superior to Mister Li. Why are you so fixated on him..."

"Xi Yu, you don’t understand."

Wu Qiyi wiped away the tears from the corner of her eye, smiling as brightly as summer flowers.

"Miss, even if you truly like Mister Li, you should just tell him the truth. That Zhao’er, she’s now the Empress, and with her tyrannical and inhumane temperament, how could she possibly be with Mister Li? If you simply let Mister Li suffer a setback in front of the Empress and he sees her true colors, he might return to you with a change of heart..."

"That’s enough, don’t say any more, I have my own plans. Let’s go."

The next day, all members of the supernatural detective society skipped classes collectively, as everyone was preparing for the initiation of the new member.

At noon, you suddenly received a phone call. Upon taking it out, you saw it was from an unknown number.

"Hello, good day."

"Hello, is this Student Li Muyun speaking?" The voice on the other end was magnetic, a voice you couldn’t forget, your elective course tutor.

"Good day, Teacher, I am Li Muyun."

"Do you still remember the fifteen Oracle Bone Script characters you asked me to translate?"

"Yes, of course, Teacher, have you managed to translate them?"

The old lady sighed softly. "It is difficult, very difficult. These characters seem very similar to Oracle Bone Script, but they are not, or rather, they should be from another civilization during the Yin Shang period."

"Is that so? Are there any experts who can read this kind of script?"

"I’ve asked several old friends to help over the past period, but we’ve made little progress."

Wait, little progress?

So that means there was some!

You eagerly asked, "Teacher, did you manage to translate some of it?"

The old lady paused for a moment before speaking, "Before I tell you, I’d like to know where you obtained these characters?"

You quickly came up with an answer and said with a smile, "They were inside a bronze cauldron used for rituals."

"Oh, since it’s from a ritual, that makes sense."

"How so?" You suddenly found yourself breathing more quickly because you had a feeling that this must hide an enormous secret.

"We’ve roughly translated six of the characters. The first four are ’God and Demon,’ ’Sen Luo,’ and the last two, ’Yun Chu.’"

"God and Demon, Sen Luo, Yun Chu?"

"Yes, that’s correct."

After carefully comparing with the old lady, you tentatively filled in the six characters and thanked her before hanging up the phone.

You then took out another fifteen characters from the drawer; these characters came from another black stone, the one you got from the Underground Ancient Ruins of Zhao Family Gully.

The two stones were different in shape, but both were inscribed with incredibly small characters, which were invisible to the naked eye—even with a magnifying glass—and required high-powered magnification equipment to see. If your eyes hadn’t possessed the ability to magnify objects, you wouldn’t have discovered them.

After carefully comparing with the previous fifteen characters, you found that these latter fifteen also mentioned ’Sen Luo.’

’Sen Luo’, encompassing all things in the world and the entire universe, had a vast scope, and you didn’t understand what secret or message these two lines of characters might be hiding. Still, at this point, you had made some small gains.

"Old Shu, are you giving birth or what? Hurry up, we need to go and set up the haunted house," Yang Kai’s urging voice came from outside the door.

"Alright, coming!"
