Chapter 312: The Ghost Behind the School Prince (12)
Lin Shu took a step forward and bit Xiao Yanke's lips.
"hiss--"
Xiao Yanke took a deep breath, put his hand over his lips, and there was a trace of blood on his hand.
Xiao Yanke looked at the blood on his hand, then looked at Lin Shuwan who was standing in front of him and glaring at him. He smiled helplessly and said, "You are so angry!"
Lin Shuwan bared his teeth, looking ferocious.
Cheng Jiaojiao was shocked when she saw blood suddenly oozing out of Xiao Yanke's lips. She kept saying, "Ah! Senior Xiao, your lips are bleeding!"
Xiao Yanke casually wiped the blood off his lips, and couldn't help pursing his lips. He could still feel the stinging pain on his lips. He chuckled and then said to Cheng Jiaojiao seriously:
"I'm sorry, Cheng Xuemei, I...already have someone I like. So I can't accept you."
Cheng Jiaojiao's anxious expression paused, she looked at him with hurt eyes, her eyes gradually turned red, tears welled up in her eyes, and she ran away aggrieved.
Looking at the girl's back as she ran away, Lin Shuwan said sarcastically, "You really deserve to be the campus hunk of Beijing University. Sometimes when you go back to school, your junior high school girl confesses to you~"
Xiao Yanke's eyes fell on Lin Shuwan's face. The blood on his lips had already solidified, making his lips more red. He said in a flat tone, "Lin Shuwan, you just bit my lips, why don't you apologize?"
Lin Shuwan tilted his neck up, with an expression that showed he was not afraid of boiling water: "Who saw me bite it? Do you have evidence? Just say it was me who bit it?"
"You said you have someone you like, I won't do anything to ruin other people's feelings!"
Xiao Yanke looked at Lin Shuwan's cheating look, feeling helpless but also amused.
He suddenly came closer, and Lin Shuwan subconsciously stepped back, staring at him: "You...what do you want to do!"
Xiao Yanke said jokingly: "Since you don't admit it, why don't you bite it again? I'll leave some evidence."
Lin Shuwan's face flushed red, and she stared at Xiao Yanke with wide eyes. Suddenly, a wicked smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and she said, "Okay!"
As she spoke, she pressed Xiao Yanke against the tree and moved closer. The distance between them became closer. She pouted slightly, put her arms around Xiao Yanke's neck, and moved towards his lips.
Xiao Yan could clearly feel Lin Shuwan's cold body temperature, and his heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably.
Just then, there were footsteps and voices coming from a distance, as if someone was coming.
Xiao Yanke panicked: "You...you let me go! Someone is coming!"
Lin Shuwan snorted coldly and let go of his hand, still muttering, "You're lucky today. I won't let you escape so easily next time."
Some people saw Xiao Yanke standing alone under a tree with an umbrella, his face flushed and his eyes wandering, which made people curious.
Xiao Yanke quickly straightened his clothes and resumed his gentle and suave appearance. He looked around, not daring to look at the eyes of the people passing by behind him. He lowered his black umbrella to block the view and quickly pulled Lin Shuwan away from the lake.
As the days passed, Xiao Yan still received no news from Huangmao.
After asking around, he found out that Huangmao had recently had a fight with someone and had been imprisoned in Orange County. He wouldn't be able to come out for half a month.
The investigation can only be put on hold temporarily.
That night, Xiao Yanke took her to a remote and dilapidated courtyard.
The light in the room was very dim, giving people a depressing feeling.
As soon as I stepped into the house, a strong smell of incense and candles hit my nose, making me feel a little breathless.
After walking around the screen, the view suddenly became clear. I saw an altar placed in the center of the room. The object of worship on the altar was covered tightly with a dark red cloth, and its true appearance could not be seen clearly.
There are three thin incense sticks inserted in the incense burner, and the incense sticks sway gently in the breeze.
In front of the altar, an old woman in simple clothes was sitting cross-legged on a cushion with her back to them.
She had a hunched back, her body slightly leaning forward, her hands clasped together, and she kept murmuring. The voice was low and vague, as if it came from another world, making it difficult to hear what she was saying.
Lin Shuwan looked at the attire and postures around her, which made her feel a little scared and nervous, and she held Xiao Yanke's hand tightly.
Xiao Yanke patted her head soothingly and said to the old woman in a gentle voice, "Layman."
The old woman stopped muttering, and she slowly turned around with her hands on the ground.
The old woman had a very old face, with wrinkles like tree bark. Where her eyes used to be, there were only two dark eye holes, but now those eye holes were staring straight at Lin Shuwan.
The old woman laughed strangely, looked at Lin Shuwan and said in a rough voice with some interest, "How interesting!"
Lin Shuwan was frightened by the old woman's appearance and shrank timidly behind Xiao Yanke.
Xiao Yanke put his arm around her shoulders soothingly.
The old woman pointed to the two cushions on the ground and said, "Sit down!"
Xiao Yanke said: "Thank you, Master."
The man and the ghost sat down, and Xiao Yanke took out a black bag from his bag and put it on the ground.
The old woman withdrew her gaze from Lin Shuwan, shifted it to Xiao Yanke's face, and said, "What do you want to ask?"
Xiao Yanke said in a gentle voice: "I heard that Master Yao knows everything. I have a request. I want to ask Master Yao, can you tell where she came from? How did she... die? How long can her soul stay in the human world?"
The old woman stretched out her dry hands, counted quickly with her fingers, and muttered something, as if communicating with something invisible, and then slowly said:
"This girl's background is not simple. She did not die a natural death. Her soul is now imprisoned by a mysterious force, so she can stay in the human world."
Lin Shuwan was behind Xiao Yanke and asked nervously, "Do you know where my body is now?"
The old woman grinned, and that smile looked particularly strange in the dim light: "I can only give an approximate calculation, you still need to find the specifics yourself!"
Then the old woman gave an address, Jintan Village, F City.
Xiao Yanke frowned and asked again: "Then do you know where this mysterious power comes from?"
The old woman looked through her empty eye sockets for a long time and shook her head: "My ability is limited, I can't tell."
Xiao Yan was a little disappointed.
The old woman said to Xiao Yanke, "Young man, you two are destined to be together, but humans and ghosts are on different paths after all. You should take care of yourself."
After the old woman finished speaking, she lowered her head and began to mutter softly again, not intending to pay attention to them.
Xiao Yanke originally wanted to ask something, but seeing the old woman like this, he had no choice but to take Lin Shuwan away.
When he returned home, Xiao Yan was feeling a little worried.
He asked many friends about this fortune teller and finally found a relatively effective one. He originally thought he could get to the bottom of it this time, but the result made him even more uneasy.
But at least I got an address.
Xiao Yanke took out his cell phone and searched the address the old woman gave him.
Jintan Village in F City is located in a remote area close to the border, which made Xiao Yanke think more about the cause of Lin Shuwan's death.
