Chapter 170 Campus 13
The next morning, when Lu Changning woke up, he could no longer see Qu's parents. They might have hidden themselves away because they were afraid of the sunlight, or they might have gone to visit relatives during the New Year.
Looking at Qu Xiao again, he was completely covered in the quilt and I didn't know whether he was awake or not.
Lu Changning tried to gently pull the quilt, but he held it tightly.
Oh, it seems you're awake.
"Today is New Year's Eve, don't you need to get up and get busy?"
Hearing what Lu Changning said, Qu Xiao finally poked his head out from under the quilt. Looking at Lu Changning, his eyes were evasive and he said, "Well, I was drunk last night, and everything I said was a lie. Please don't take it seriously."
Lu Changning had already stood up, put on his clothes, and was putting on his shoes when he heard Qu Xiao's regret after sobering up. He wanted to laugh. However, how could he take back the secret that had been told?
"Oh, you mean the fact that you can see ghosts."
Qu Xiao got up impatiently: "I've already said it was nonsense, why are you still bringing it up!"
Lu Changning put on his shoes and said, "Since you told me a secret, I'll tell you one too. I can actually see ghosts."
Qu Xiao's face darkened: "You're still making fun of me. You're such a boring person."
Lu Changning said honestly: "I'm not making fun of you. I can indeed see ghosts. I even saw your parents last night."
It would have been fine if he hadn't said this. As soon as he said this, Qu Xiao's face turned dark. He didn't understand what was going on until Lu Changning was kicked out of the door.
"It's really strange. Why would I be kicked out even if I told the truth? His parents are definitely around him!"
Qu Xiao seemed really angry. From New Year's Eve to the beginning of school, Lu Changning never saw him again. Every time he went to look for him, he couldn't even get into Qu's house, let alone meet him. Lu Changning couldn't explain it even if he wanted to.
Finally, the school started. The two of them were in the same dormitory, so Qu Xiao would not hide anymore!
Lu Changning rushed to the dormitory with a lot of things, and was ready to reveal his identity and apologize, but Qu Xiao was still angry. She didn't even give Lu Changning a chance to explain and just left with the books.
I don’t know if it’s because he was so angry, but the ghosts around him all stayed away from the furious Qu Xiao.
It is not yet the end of the first month of the lunar year and the weather is still so cold. However, in such weather, the school emphasizes students' exercise, and physical education classes are essential.
After the run, Lu Changning was about to go talk to Qu Xiao, but he saw him turn around and walk to the side. Is he going to break up with me because of that sentence? Lu Changning felt a little uncomfortable, but what he said was true!
Just as he was looking down at his toes, Ji You came running over and said, "Great talent, why do you look so unhappy? I found another evil ghost by the lake at school a few days ago, but it's been there for years. How about it? Do you want to go and take a look?"
Lu Changning tilted his head and looked at Ji You with a cold expression: "What are you talking about? If you have the time, you might as well read more books. We should believe in science. Confucius does not talk about weird things."
After saying that, he turned and walked towards the seat next to him.
Ji You looked at Lu Changning, his face flushed with anger. He turned around and complained to Yang Guang beside him: "He was the one who almost chopped the Nether Ghost to death that day, why is he looking like he doesn't recognize me now? What is he doing? Has he been possessed by another spirit?"
Yang Guang hung his head, followed Ji You listlessly, yawned loudly, and said lazily: "If he doesn't admit it, then he doesn't want to go. I don't understand why you have to drag him along."
Ji You turned his head and looked at Yang Guang: "I haven't told you yet, where have you been these days? I didn't see you the whole day yesterday, and you're so lazy today. Tell me, have you fallen for another ghost master?"
Yang Guang curled his lips: "I want to change jobs, but they have to want me too!"
"Good job, you have found the next buyer. Tell me, who is that person? Is it Lu Changning?"
Yang Guang was annoyed by Ji You so much that he ignored his calls and flew away leisurely.
After he left, he was not seen for several days. It was almost the weekend, but Yang Guang still hadn't come back. Ji You began to get anxious and ran directly to Lu Changning's dormitory, intending to settle the score with Lu Changning.
"Lu Changning, are you the one who's trying to steal my girlfriend from behind?"
Ji You pushed the door open suddenly, but did not see Lu Changning, but saw Qu Xiao.
"Hello, Mr. Qu, have you seen Mr. Lu? I want to ask him something."
Qu Xiao stood up and said, "He was called to the teacher's office. If you have anything to say, I can pass on the message for you, Ji."
Facing an ordinary person who was not a ghost master, Ji You didn't know what to say: "I just want to ask about Yang Guang."
After he finished speaking, he added with a guilty conscience: "Lu Changning has read a lot of books. I want to talk to him and see if I can find some content that I don't know. Yes, that's it."
Qu Xiao tilted his head slightly and asked curiously: "Yang Guang? Isn't he the ghost who has been following you?"
Ji You covered his face in shock: "You, you, you...you can see it too!"
Qu Xiao thought, since he had decided to break up with Lu Changning, he naturally couldn't hide from him anymore. It was time to find a new shield, and Ji You was a good candidate.
"Well, I can see ghosts, but that's all I can do."
Ji You smiled: "Oh, it's good to be able to see it! That's better than Lu Changning telling me all day long that I should believe in science."
After hearing what Ji You said, Qu Xiao pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled. But in his heart, he was thinking, Sure enough, Lu Changning lied to me, he can't see ghosts at all. Lu Changning is simply using his parents as a tool to ridicule him. Unforgivable.
Qu Xiao said, "If you want to find Yang Guang, why don't you go find other ghosts and ask them?"
Ji You also wanted to, but the ghosts in the school are now divided into two groups. One group is afraid of him and avoids him. The other group is not afraid of him, but they all belong to Lu Changning. That is the same as the character of the surname Lu, and their minds are full of study.
Ji You looked at Qu Xiao: However, he should be able to get some information from Lu Changning's ghost.
The two of them went out together and walked to the gate, just in time to see the guard ghost standing by the door. The guard ghost saw Qu Xiao and waved at him cheerfully: "Xiao Qu, go out."
Qu Xiao smiled awkwardly, clearly remembering that he had a bad relationship with this ghost in his previous life. But in this life, he didn't know what went wrong, and this security guard ghost was surprisingly friendly to him.
"I'm not going out, uncle, are you on duty here?" Even though he's dying, you're still sticking to your post?
The security guard waved his hands and said with a smile: "No, they don't even pay me, why should I guard the gate for them? I'm just waiting for takeout here. Just now, Huangmao ordered takeout using the old man's phone, and I'm waiting here to pick it up."
Uncle? Who is that? Is he the leader of the ghosts?
As we were talking, the takeaway arrived. There was quite a lot ordered, four or five bags.
Ji You was shocked: "Master, can you finish all this?"
The old man wanted to pick it up, but considering that it was the weekend and there were many people around, he gave up.
"Hey, this is just the beginning! There are starving people among us, and this little bit is not enough to share. Since you guys are here, please help me carry it in, so I don't have to go back to find people."
Ji You and Qu Xiao followed the guard ghost with five bags in their hands, under the surprised gazes of the students. Ji You asked as they walked, "Uncle, have you seen my Yang Guang?"
The old man immediately looked around: "Why, he knew we secretly ordered takeout, and he wants to come over to eat and drink for free?"
Ji You didn't expect that Yang Guang actually had a relationship with these ghosts, but he had never heard him talk about it: "Uncle, has Yang Guang come here to eat before?"
"Of course not." Speaking of Yang Guang, the security guard had too many complaints to make: "It was just the first day of school, four or five days ago. What a great day, we ordered a room full of food to celebrate, planning to make up for the New Year. Then your Yang Guang showed up, boy, he can really eat, even more than An Nan."
Ji You smiled awkwardly after hearing this. He had never heard that ghosts needed to eat!
The ghost gatekeeper hadn't finished yet: "There's more. It's not enough to just eat. He also played mahjong with us. He's an outsider, but he didn't know how to be humble when playing mahjong with us. He won the whole night without stopping. He took away four chicken legs and five pig's trotters from me, plus a bottle of wine that the old man secretly brought in. Tell me, shouldn't you settle this account for me?"
When Ji You heard that this was a debt collection, he quickly drew a line between himself and Yang Guang: "I am me, he is him, how can I get involved in the dispute between you ghosts?"
The guard ghost cursed inwardly, as expected, there is a ghost master like the ghost, all of them are stingy. Fortunately, the little girl did not agree to be his contracted ghost, otherwise she would have been hungry for nine meals in three days.
Ji You smiled awkwardly. He could tell that the security guard didn't want to pay attention to him, but the takeaway of the group was still in his hand. He cleared his throat and asked, "Uncle, have you seen Yang Guang recently? I haven't seen him for several days!"
The uncle really knew: "Didn't he say that he felt the fluctuations of the Shadow Orb in the artificial lake and went to wait. Didn't you go and look for him?"
Ji You suddenly realized, yes, how could he have forgotten about the artificial lake. Seeing that there was no one around, he handed the takeaway to the guard ghost, and rushed to the school's artificial lake with Qu Xiao.
The doorman looked at the takeaway in his hand and said, "You really just throw it away after use. You are just as worthless as Yang Guang. But should I tell the uncle about this? After all, it concerns Qu Xiao, so I should tell him."
After listening to the security guard ghost's story, Lu Changning stopped doing his homework.
"With Ji You? He really wants to break up with me. He has already found another shield for himself. Forget it. Nothing will happen to that pool that is less than one meter wide. Let them be."
After saying this, he started writing again with the pen in his hand.
The pen in my hand was copying the poems in the book, but my mind was thinking about other things, and my thoughts had already flown to the green artificial lake.
Just as he was daydreaming, Xiao Hong's voice pulled his thoughts back: "Lu Changning, I'm done with my work. You haven't seen me for so long, do you miss me?"
Lu Changning asked in surprise: "Are you done? Have you planted all the fifty miles of flower fields?"
Xiao Hong rubbed her hands and smiled: "Of course not, I have used up all the nutrients you gave me. Without nutrients, I can't bloom any flowers. When will you finish here? It's been so long, it's enough for me to absorb another wave."
Great, it turns out that I wasn’t worried about him, but came here for nutrients!
"It's too early. The story has only started for a few months. I guess we have to wait until graduation."
There is still so much time left. Xiao Hong was a little impatient and flipped through the Book of Life and Death: "No, the book says that Qu Xiao's catastrophe will happen in these few days! You didn't watch him!"
What? These days? Man-made lake, oh no!
Lu Changning didn't care about his homework anymore, he stood up and ran towards the artificial lake.
The pond dug by this school has not been taken care of for many years. It is covered with a thick layer of algae, and you can't see what is happening underneath.
Qu Xiao frowned and looked far away. It was all green. At first glance, he thought he was in a grassland.
"Student Ji, are you sure Yang Guang will be here?"
Ji You squatted by the pool and lightly touched the water with his fingers, causing ripples of varying sizes to appear.
"It's not wrong. There is indeed Yang Guang's presence here. He has been here. But where can we go now?"
As I was looking around, I felt my feet slip and fell towards the pool.
"Be careful." Qu Xiao hurriedly tried to pull his hand, but it was too heavy and he was pulled underwater as well.
The water was not deep, only up to their waists, but they didn't know what they stepped on, and it wrapped their feet tightly and they couldn't pull them out.
"It's really strange, is the mud at the bottom of the lake so deep?" Qu Xiao tried to pull his feet out, and looking to the side, he saw that Ji You was actually sinking, and the lake water had already reached his chest.
"Ji You, stand up." Qu Xiao wanted to hold Ji You back, but he seemed to have lost his consciousness and fell straight into the lake. It was only one meter deep, and if he really drowned here, it would really be a joke.
"Ji You, aren't you still looking for Yang Guang? Wake up!"
At this time, Qu Xiao regretted finding such a shield. There were too many dangers around Ji You. It became more dangerous to get close to him.
The lake water had already reached Ji You's neck. There was no way out, so Qu Xiao slapped Ji You in the face.
Not to mention, after this slap, Ji You slowly regained some consciousness and stood up directly from the water: "Oh no, I've been tricked."
It was as if the roots had taken root under my feet, and I couldn't pull them out. Qu Xiao was a little panicked now: "What should we do? How can we get out?"
Before Ji You could think of a solution, the green lake began to ripple, and countless filaments gushed out of the water, trapping the two tightly in the water. The filaments slowly gathered on the horizontal surface, and finally transformed into a human figure. In his "hands", Yang Guang was tightly entangled.
