Chapter 21: Meeting
When I woke up, I felt a lot more refreshed. Pan Zhen's car was still parked outside the school gate, and he kept his promise. I sat up from the co-pilot and found myself covered with his mink coat. Pan Zhen lay in the driver's seat and didn't seem to wake up yet, I gently put my clothes on his body, quietly got out of the car and closed the door.
At this time, it was almost noon, and Buddha Bao called a few days ago to say that he would take the train back to school this afternoon, and I would go to the station to wait for him after I had a meal.
Although it has already passed the fifteenth year, it has not yet come out of the first month, so the residual heat of the Spring Festival has not completely receded. Today's platform is mostly filled with Qianqian students waiting to return to school, and I avoid the crowd and hide by a stone pillar.
Looking at these various passers-by from afar, it seems that the scene of the day when they were sent to the station has been brought to their eyes.
I secretly felt to myself, time flies so fast, I chased the train and cried goodbye to the Buddha treasure seems to have happened yesterday. But it's been almost two months, and I'm standing here waiting for his return.
The train slowly entered the platform with a roar, and the people who picked it up crowded close to the carriage, but I didn't come forward, because with what I knew about the Buddha treasure, he would definitely not come down soon.
Sure enough, when the people on the platform dispersed one by one, this guy appeared unhurriedly by the door with a large suitcase.
"Zhang Yao! Zhang Yao! Ah! I miss you! "Seeing me coming, Buddha Bao was very excited. The flight attendant helped him throw all his luggage off the carriage, and my head was big when I looked at the mountains of things.
"Buddha Bao, you emptied your bedroom last time, did you empty your house again this time?" I thought to myself that the last time I was so good that I rubbed against Pan Zhen's car, how could we move this 'mountain' with the strength of the two of us alone.
"Oh, don't mention it, it's not all to bring you some hometown specialties, you see that this sack is all sweet potatoes planted by my mother herself, it's so sweet."
I pinched my forehead, no way, this is all the thoughts of other parents. I don't know how much I have to pay for the overweight part of the overweight part of the station.
I put the luggage on my shoulder, and dragged the suitcase with the other hand to complain to the Buddha Treasure: "Next time you can't do these goods, send the express, maybe faster than you arrived, you see how embarrassed we are now." β
He nodded suddenly: "Why didn't you think of it?" Zhang Yao, you still have enough brains! β
At this time, I was really helpless.
It wasn't until midnight that the two of us returned to school, and as I passed the playground, I was surprised to find that the snow that had been thick in the morning was gone. I think that Pan Zhen's subordinates should be tired enough, and it is quite unlucky to follow such a master.
When I returned to the dormitory, I saw that Liu Qiming had also returned to school, Lao Cai moved back to 404, and there were more people, and our dormitory became lively again.
Qiming sat on the top bunk with tea and watched me and Buddha Bao pack our luggage below.
I looked up at him, "I said you didn't come down and help?" Buddha Bao brought special products to us from Heilongjiang, and you didn't help clean it up. β
Qiming pushed his glasses, blew a few sips of tea, and said leisurely: "You see that my tea has just been brewed, and I will go down after drinking it." β
I looked at Buddha Bao and shook my head.
"By the way, you weren't here in the afternoon, so I'll tell you something new. Guess who's back? β
I and Buddha Bao were so busy that we didn't answer his words, and Qiming continued to say to himself: "That last year, no, no, it should be that Xu Xiaoli who jumped off the building the year before last is back." β
When Buddha Bao and I heard this, we both put down the work in our hands and looked at him in surprise.
"Came back alive? Or..." I asked curiously.
"Isn't that nonsense, of course she came back alive, who said that if you jump off the building, you will definitely fall to your death, I heard that she just broke her leg, and she will come back to school after taking a year off from school to raise her family."
"Oh my God! The school dares to let her come back after making such a big deal? That's not expulsion or anything. β
"Haha! Who would dare to fire her? You dare to provoke people who are not afraid of death? If she is not happy, she will take you away in minutes. Hearing Qiming say this, a cool breeze came from my back. I'm really bold and afraid of dying these days, and when I see this Xu Xiaoli in the future, I have to hide and go.
"So where did she move back in? Who dares to share a bedroom with her. β
"This one is even more ruthless, I heard that she asked the instructor to move back to the 412 she lived in before and live alone."
I glared and looked out the window and then at Liu Qiming: "The building opposite?" The one not far from the bathroom? β
He pouted and nodded.
I walked to the window thoughtfully, looking at the women's dormitory not far away, I don't know if this Xu Xiaoli has anything to do with the black cat, if it doesn't matter, do I need to remind her not to live in that room alone, after all, something very strange happened there
Feeling. Should I go to Pan Zhen and ask? It seems that his subordinate named Lian Ying knows a little. But Pan Zhen's unpredictable face flashed in my mind, and I retreated again, forget it, more things are better than less things, I can't protect myself now, how can I worry about others.
At night, the three of us dealt with each other in the dormitory, ate a bite of instant noodles, and then we all got ready to sleep. Buddha Bao is really tired, after taking the train for so long, he fell asleep on the bed.
I'm a little scared of the night right now, and I don't know if that guy will come last time. I sat in front of the computer and flipped through the web page, and I didn't know what I was thinking, when my phone suddenly lit up, and a text message came out, which read:
I'm waiting for you at the coffee shop at the south entrance of the school gate, come quickly.
Such a simple sentence was not signed, and I looked at the sender's number and never saw it. Who is this? Could it be a mistake, there must be something wrong with asking someone out so late. I dialed back by the number and found that the other party had turned off the phone.
I got up and looked at Buddha Bao and Qiming, they were already asleep, and it was inconvenient for me to get them up and go out with me.
After putting on my coat, I quietly closed the door, thinking all the way about who sent the message, what I can be sure now is that it is definitely not Pan Zhen's guy, because he wants to find me to use the ghost eye ring to send a message, is it Dongyang? Probably not, I have his number, and he doesn't need to be so mysterious.
As March approached, the cold wind of early spring in the north was blowing to the bone, so I wrapped my coat tighter and trotted to the school gate.
There were no more customers in the cafΓ© at this time, and I pushed open the glass door and felt a warm breeze rushing towards me. All eyes in the room seemed to be focused on me, and I looked around, wondering who had sent me the message.
The guests only glanced at me and went back to normal, except for one person sitting in a dimly lit corner.
I walked slowly, getting closer before I could see her face.
It was a woman, not much like me, with a curtain, a ponytail, and a black jacket. I don't know if the light is too dim, but I think her complexion is not good and a little sallow.
I stepped forward and asked tentatively, "Hello, is that the text you sent me?" β
She was still looking at me, as if she was looking at me as well. She didn't show any expression, and her tone was calm: "You are Zhang Yao?" β
I nodded, wondering why she asked me out if she didn't know me.
Seeing my answer, she also nodded thoughtfully: "You sit down, I have something I want to ask you." β
I pulled out a chair and sat across from her, and the unfamiliar atmosphere seemed a little awkward: "Uh~~~ We don't seem to know each other, right?" β
She picked up the coffee in her hand and took a sip, put down the cup and looked at me: "We really don't know each other, but maybe you've heard my name, my name is Xu Xiaoli." β
I was a little shocked by her words, how could she know about me? Why did she come to me?
From my expression, she seemed to see what I was thinking: "You wonder why I'm looking for you?" Actually, I'm curious how you dealt with the Soul Keeper. β
"What? What Soul Keeper? I simply didn't understand what she said.
She was also surprised by my reply: "You... You don't know what you've done on your own? β
I shook my head and looked at her as if our conversation was between two worlds.
"From the moment you walked through the door, I found the ring you were wearing, and that ghost eye stone was the essence of it."
I raised my right hand and put the ring in front of me: "That's what you're talking about?" β
"Yes, but there should be another one, also with you?"
"No, in a friend's place, why do you know so much about this thing?" I was full of question marks hoping that she would explain it to me, and maybe a series of strange things that happened to me could be answered.
"It seems like you're just a layman, but what do you have to do to get it?" Xu Xiaoli did not answer my questions, but asked me many things she wanted to know.
"Alas, I said if we can exchange information! You answer me one, and I answer you one. "Suddenly there was a feeling that we were like a joint underground party, and she didn't know me, and I didn't know her. I had to sit together and talk about life-threatening topics.
She stared at me for a moment of silence: "No need, I can tell you whatever you want, but you only need to agree to one request." β
"What requirements?" I was busy asking.
"It's not that hard, as long as you give me these two ghost eye stones."
Hearing her say this, I subconsciously touched the ring in my hand, and the woman sitting in front of me became more and more elusive: "I can't promise you this thing for the time being, after all, the other one is not in my hand." β
"Well, give me this one first, and then tell the other one who's there, and our deal will be done."
I shook my head in disagreement: "I don't even know who you are, how can I give you such an important thing?" If you want to say it, just say it, and if you don't want to say it, forget it. "I was talking to this woman, and after sitting for a long time without asking anything, I stood up and prepared to leave.
"You wait! ThatΒ·Β· Let's follow the rules you said first, and we'll ask each other questions. β
Seeing that she was quite sincere, I sat back in my chair and beckoned the waiter to order a cappuccino, perhaps for a long time.
