Chapter 37 - Horror Variety (2) (2/2)

“Hello, Fifth Young Master.”

Several of the staff took the initiative to give their greetings. The young man gave them a smile and greeted them back. He handed over the keys and said politely: “Please be careful when you arrange your equipment. Afterall, this is the former residence of Teacher Zhou and I don’t want anything to be damaged.”

“You can rest assured!”

They quickly gave their promise and used the key to open the door. They then carefully moved the box in, leaving only Xiao Liu and the young man to speak.

Is this that so-called “Fifth Young Master”, Bai Xi Xing?

Like the girls, Cheng Zhi Chu was very curious about this rich young master. He secretly looked at him but when he did, he was a little surprised. Bai Xi Xing looked about 50-60% similar to Bai Yi.

Both of them are also surnamed Bai……Could there be a relationship between Bai Yi and the Bai family?

And Bai Xi Xing’s name sounds really familiar……..

Wait. Could he be that famous “Senior Bai” from back in middle school?

Cheng Zhi Chu finally remembered where he had heard the name Bai Xi Xing ————–It was from when he was in his first year of middle school. About half a month after school started, the high school department suddenly had a transfer student called Bai Xi Xing.

This “Senior Bai” came like a wind, and he stayed at the school for less than a week before leaving again. He didn’t know why he would suddenly transfer over, but his arrival caused chaos throughout the whole school and he quickly became famous. Even Cheng Zhi Chu from the junior high school department had heard of his name.

The main reason Bai Xi Xing caused chaos was because he amazingly good-looking. In a group of ordinary high school boys, he looked just like a fairy.

The other reason was, because he was very good looking, the schools’ basketball team captain’s girlfriend fell for him at first sight. She immediately dumped her boyfriend and chased after him like crazy. This resulted in the captains’ hatred towards Bai Xi Xing. He suggested a 1v1 basketball match only to be beaten ruthlessly by Bai Xi Xing.

Later, the captain of the basketball team couldn’t accept his loss and he gathered a group of people to ambush Bai Xi Xing. Again, they were defeated, and this resulted in that group of people dropping out of school. Bai Xi Xing on the other had had nothing happen to him.

The result of the fight spread through the entire school and all the students were shocked when they heard it. They all remembered the name Bai Xi Xing and eventually there was a story like this circulating his school —– Everyone should worship Senior Bai before an exam if they wanted to pass.

The last reason why Bai Xi Xing was famous was because the time he stayed at the school was too short. As if he really was a god, it was like he only dropped by to take a look.

Some people also joked that he had come so that he could experience what a sports carnival was like because he had transferred before the sports carnival and then transferred out after it was over. It was said that he transferred back to his original school.

Cheng Zhi Chu had never seen Bai Xi Xing in person before but, as he recalled old memories, he once again looked at Bai Xi Xing’s handsome appearance. He really did suit the nickname “Senior Bai”.

He continued to make wild guesses until the car Ji Yun Xiao and his cameraman was in arrived.

Xiao Liu saw that the main character was finally here and quickly rushed over to control the situation. He asked the fans to stand on one side as the cameraman filmed the dialogue between Ji Yun Xiao and Bai Xi Xing.

As the owner of the villa, Bai Xi Xing introduced the villa and the history behind it.

“…….That year, Teacher Zhou taught us children how to draw. My cousin and I studied under him for the longest time.”

“Teacher Zhou likes children very much and is very good to us. He would teach us how to draw in this villa. I was very happy when I learnt how to draw, it was one of my happiest moments in my life.”

“But unfortunately Teacher Zhou was gone……..I missed him very much so I took over the villa hoping that I can retain the memories from that year.”

Bai Xi Xing finished talking and smiled at the camera. He then exchanged a few more words with Ji Yun Xiao before the two shook hands. Ji Yun Xiao and his personal cameraman then made their way into the villa.

Xiao Liu waited outside. With headphones in, he could contact the director and sorted out the schedule. The staff and cameramen that had entered earlier and still not come back out.

Cheng Zhi Chu felt that something wasn’t right. Why didn’t the staff come back out? But seeing that Xiao Liu was still looking quite calm, he made a small guess inside. Perhaps the staff was supposed to stay inside and scare Ji Yun Xiao…….

After the filming, Bai Xi Xing didn’t immediately leave. Instead, he waited outside with the fans. When his eyes swept past Cheng Zhi Chu, he froze for a moment before quickly looking away and chatting amicably with the girls.

Facing such a tall, rich and handsome man, many of the girls were nervous and shy and they didn’t dare talk to him. But Bai Xi Xing is very friendly, and he is also funny and talkative, so he quickly managed to make them laugh and soon they were chatting happily.

Cheng Zhi Chu watched this from the sidelines. Seeing that Bai Xi Xing didn’t seem to have any intention to leave, he couldn’t help but want to join in. He was curious about whether he was the Senior Bai from back then. More importantly, he wanted to ask Bai Xi Xing if he knew Bai Yi.

“Excuse me Mr Bai. I just wanted to ask, have ever studied at a middle school in B City?”

However, despite this, the first thing Cheng Zhi Chu asked was this question. He felt that, like this, it would be more natural and less awkward.

“I did study at a middle school there for a few days. You are…..?” Bai Xi Xing answered and looked over at him with a questioning look.

He really is that Bai Xi Xing? Why did he go to a school in B City?

Cheng Zhi Chu was also a little surprised. He quickly said: “Hello senior. Actually, I also attended that school. At that time, I was in first year of middle school and I heard about senior. Senior is rather famous at school.”

“So you’re my junior brother. What a coincidence to meet again here.”

Bai Xi Xing revealed a hint of surprise. He immediately said with a smile: “Hello junior brother. Can I ask how I should call you?”

“My surname is Cheng, name is Cheng Zhi Chu.”

Cheng Zhi Chu managed to successfully chat with Bai Xi Xing. It had to be said that Bai Xi Xing’s personality is really good. He’s very easy-going, sociable and, after only chatting for a short time, they managed to exchange their contact details. Although it was just out of politeness, it made Cheng Zhi Chu quite surprised.

“………In fact, when I saw senior I was reminded of a person.”

After a moment, Cheng Zhi Chu brought the topic up: “I don’t know if senior knows a person called Bai Yi?”

A small flash of light flitted through Bai Xi Xing’s eyes, but he continued to maintain a natural expression. He didn’t answer immediately and asked instead: “How did junior brother come to know him?”

“Just by coincidence.” Cheng Zhi Chu didn’t know what Bai Yi’s situation in reality was like so he didn’t dare reveal too much, “Since senior asked this, it seems like you know Bai Yi?”

“Of course, I know him.” Bai Xi Xing said. “Bai Yi is my cousin. Back then we had a good relationship.”

No wonder they look so alike. So, does this mean that he had found out Bai Yi’s identity in reality?

Cheng Zhi Chu was a little surprised. With him being stuck in Death Mode, he wanted to know what Bai Yi’s state was like in reality. He immediately asked: “How is he now?”

“………….”

Bai Xi Xing fell silent. The smile on his face also faded.

Seeing this reaction of his, Cheng Zhi Chu suddenly felt nervous. He then heard him say quietly:

“………..My cousin went missing. It was six years ago.”

“We still haven’t found him or his body yet, and we don’t even know if he is still alive.”

“At the place where he disappeared, we saw a lot of blood.”

“It was all his blood.”

Bai Yi’s Diary (Part 37)

Although I can’t see Zhi Chu now, but since I have already decided to write a diary, I should write it well. Zhi Chu definitely wouldn’t like a guy who can’t even keep a diary without giving up halfway.

…….

So, I’ll start writing it tomorrow.
