I told Chu Huoyu about what happened when I was thirteen years old and when Hao Junqi was forced to climb the Tiger Slope to the Optimus Stone Pillar Cliff and what happened around the Flesh Ring full of spirits.

I also shared my speculation and analysis and the concerns that arose from it. I talked for more than half an hour.

"Could it be so weird? Is such a sarcoma-like thing really supernatural? "You can guess Chu Huoyu's expression.

"As long as I have physical contact with the opposite sex, it will manifest its spirit." I said bitterly.

"To stop you from breaking the promise you made with Hao Junqi?"

"That's my inference. If that's not the purpose, why does it just flash when I'm too intimate with the opposite sex? I said.

"Quite possibly. But the question is, how can this be? If your speculation is true, I'm lucky in comparison. Chu Huoyu placed the bag full of money on his bent knees.

"Because you've left me, there's no threat to your duties as a flesh ring." I say.

"That's how it should be."

"That's why I had to do this to Ding Ying." I say.

"Because you're afraid that Ding Ying will also be led to a dead end, like Wu Lianzi, like Wu Shufang, or even like Xiong Yanfei." Chu Huoyu said to my heart.

I took another deep breath and didn't speak.

"If that's the case, I understand why you're doing it." Chu Huoyu sighed, "But how can there be such a strange thing in this world?" Could it be an accident, the end of all these people? Just like me, I don't think it has anything to do with your supernatural spirits. ”

"Even if all the endings are accidental, my body's reaction is real, and in the end, isn't Ding Ying hurt even more?" I was so saddened.

"Yes. That's the last thing you want. ”

We were silent for a while.

It was late at night. The noise coming from the dormitory gradually subsided. I can't tell what kind of night bird it is. There was also the sound of a bird's wings flapping and flapping. Occasionally, a couple of lovers holding each other's arms walked through the light area in front of the bookstore.

"What happened? Ding Ying...... And Ai Sadako. "I broke the silence.

Ai Sadako sat down for a while and then went back. Zhu Yi, who was originally furious, returned to normal, he sent Ai Zhenzi and left. There were only five of us left in the box. Ding Ying's father was silent for a long time, just drinking sullenly, and the air seemed to freeze. Chu Huoyu said.

"Where's Ding Ying?" I asked.

"She's relaxed. It seems that her father will not do anything to her. Then we dispersed. ”

"Where did Ding Ying go?"

Ding Ying went with his father. Look at you, set sail, who do you care about the most? Hey, I don't know why God set it up like this? Chu Huoyu was busy expressing her feelings.

"Didn't they say where to go?" I pressed on.

"Nope. As soon as they left, we went back to the store. Cao Shuigen wanted to go back to the bedroom to rest, so Xu Zhengping was nagging me in the store alone. Chu Huoyu said.

"Will Xu Zhengping fall in love with you?" It occurred to me this thought.

At the beginning, Xu Zhengping was very concerned about Chu Huoyu, the "girl sitting on the stage", and mentioned it several times in front of me and Cao Shuigen. Looking at his excitement tonight, he was extremely proud to be able to let Chu Huoyu take a sip of wine. This is obviously poisoned by love.

"Don't scold me." Chu Huoyu was a little shy.

"How can I scorn you? Looking at Jin Er's excitement, I guessed so. But Xu Zhengping always told us that he never played with feelings. ”

"So there's no such thing at all. He drank too much. ”

During the time when Chu Huoyu went to the girls' dormitory to wash, I stayed at the door of the bookstore, so that I didn't feel it when Chu Huoyu returned to the store.

I was hesitating to make a decision, so I guarded the store and let Chu Huoyu go to rent a house.

Now that Ding Ying has made her secret public, and I still have to carry out my "plan", it is no longer possible for me to live in a rented house.

"I feel sorry that I can't do anything for you at all." Chu Huoyu patted me on the shoulder, "Everything will pass." Go back to bed, it's late. ”

"I have an idea for you." I stood up.

"What thoughts?"

"I'm here to guard the store. You go to my rented house. "I say what I think.

"What will Ding Ying think?"

"I don't know. Since she has already been provoked, and in the end, she is completely unaffected by me, so it is better to separate. is the best explanation for Zhu Defa and her father. I said.

"We'll talk about it tomorrow. Otherwise, I'll try Ding Ying's tone first. ”

"Okay."

When I returned to my rental place that night, the house was empty, but Ding Ying's things were still there. It gave me a little relief.

Because my first reaction was that Ding Ying had already moved out, and was forced by her father, or after she announced the secret, she was ready to move out.

If she doesn't live in a rented place, she should go live with her father, right? The principal of such a large school can come to the provincial capital with as good conditions as he wants.

However, I was so tired that I lay down in bed after taking a shower, and I soon fell into a deep sleep.

The next day (Saturday) I woke up early, lay in bed, and made a plan for what I was going to do for the day.

One is to take the money to the bookstore and let Chu Huoyu take time to deposit it in the bank in the college (of course, you must reserve the funds to go to the book market in the afternoon to buy goods); Second, if it is possible, find a time to talk to Ai Sadako; the third is to arrange for Xu Zhengping to replace Ding Ying on duty on the platform, Ding Ying's father is here, and it is estimated that he will accompany her father and have no time to work; The fourth is to make an appointment with Cao Shuigen to go to the book market in the afternoon.

Of course, the most tangled problem is how to face Ding Ying.

Ding Ying's damage has reached the limit. Zhu Yi's revelations made her feel that her expectations would soon turn into despair. All along, she was just speculating about the relationship between me and Ai Sadako.

She suspected that my old relationship with Chu Huoyu had rekindled, and for a moment she thought that I would pursue Ai Zhenzi in order to achieve the goal of staying in school as many people think.

But these are all at the stage of conjecture or conjecture. Chu Huoyu and I are not sticky, and I don't have a close relationship with Ai Zhenzi, so she is naturally not easy to judge; But after all, I have a chance to get along with them, and she can't help but be wary.

Also, I pushed her desperately into Zhu Defa's arms, indicating that I had no intention of having any further relationship with her, but she could sense that I cared about her from many angles.

And the self-esteem she brought with her innately did not allow her to grovel.

Her temper does not allow her to cry and say to me that she loves me and that she can't live without me.

That's why she got very close to Zhu Defa in front of everyone and got tired of getting along, and once they were alone, she and Zhu Defa were very open.

Zhu Defa was clearly a victim.

Zhu Yi's revelations forced her to take risks and give more fierce revelations, which reduced Ai Zhenzi's expectations of me to zero.

That's the real reason why she broke the news that we've been sharing a house together.

It is the so-called death and then life.

At the very least, the threat posed by Ai Sadako can be eliminated.

And I have to continue to push her to Zhu Defa. Can she withstand being pushed out in this form (in fact, no matter what form) is being pushed out?

Do I have to take a detour, or do I "chase after the victory"?

These are all things that I have to consider and consider.

No one told me the right answer.

Then you can only resign yourself to fate and wait until you see Ding Ying.

With the plan ready, I went out with a snakeskin bag and trotted all the way to the Youth Book House.

In late spring, although the days are hot, the mornings are still cool. The sun has already risen in the sky. The air on campus is very fresh. On the grass, there are old people doing tai chi.

The door of the Book House of Youth has been opened. Chu Huoyu had not yet been washed, his hair was fluffy, and he didn't look like he had slept well.

"What's wrong? Was there anything going on last night? I asked casually.

I don't want to Chu Huoyu's eyes are red, and tears are flowing down.

"Well, there's not really going to be anything, is it?" I was really shocked.

"Someone came in last night." Chu Huoyu cried and said.

"Huh?" My hair is swollen. Isn't this a one-way street?

"What did the man do to you? Did you do anything to you? Is it a person or ......" I was really panicked.

"Not really, but I was scared. It was a man who came in. Chu Huoyu wiped her tears with the back of her hand.

"Oh," I reassured, "I didn't do anything to you." I was really expecting it. Didn't you shout? ”

"I used this," Chu Huoyu pointed to the iron rod on the counter, "I knocked him away." ”

The iron rod was originally placed in the attic.

"Hey, I didn't expect it to come in handy." I laughed and said, "What about later?" ”

"I didn't sleep after that. The more I think about it, the more scared I get, and the more scared I get, the more I can't sleep. I didn't want to tell you, I was afraid that you would worry, but when I saw you, I couldn't help but say it. Chu Huoyu wiped away her tears with a handkerchief.

"Can you not talk about such a big thing? We'll sleep in a different place tonight. I'll talk to Ding Ying when she comes back. I said.

Now that this happened, it was inevitable that I would move out of the rental house.

"How's that good?"

"It's out of your control. You're glad you weren't hurt, but if you did, you called me...... By the way, did you hit that guy? ”

"I don't know. Anyway, I slept vaguely, and I felt the breath blow on my face again, and when I woke up, I realized that there was someone," Chu Huoyu said, "I screamed, and subconsciously grabbed the iron rod and struck at the man. Because, I practice this movement almost every night. ”

"Rehearsing this every night?" I was stunned. A sense of guilt arises. I realized how much uneasiness Chu Huoyu had caused her to live alone in the store, and she had never mentioned it.

"yes, didn't you say that? Just in case. All I heard was the man's snort, and he jumped down the escalator and ran away. Chu Huoyu said.

"Looks like you must have hit him." I say.

"Quite possibly."
