Chapter 62 - Ghost School (16) (2/2)

In a place not far from Bai Yi and the others, Cheng Zhi Chu stood there while being held back by Su Ling.

At this very moment, the rooftop appeared to be divided into two worlds. On Cheng Zhi Chu’s end, the sky was still bright. He could feel the heat from the sun and hear the sound of cicadas. It was the middle of summer.

On the other half of the rooftop when Bai Yi and the others stood, it revealed the true appearance of the location. The night was dark and there wasn’t a single star in the sky. The rooftop was covered in a thick layer of dust and the temperature was a little cold.

There as a clear boundary separating the rooftop. At the same time, there were two Su Ling’s. One was talking to Bai Yi, while the other stood next to Cheng Zhi Chu holding tightly onto his hand.

The two Su Ling’s looked exactly the same. Cheng Zhi Chu couldn’t tell which one the true ghost was and which one was just an apparition —— Although he thinks that the Su Ling next to him is likely the latter, he wasn’t certain.

And there wasn’t just two Su Ling’s, there was also two of himself.,

Cheng Zhi Chu looked at himself who was being held by Bai Yi and found it difficult to register.

More precisely, it was his body that was being held by Bai Yi and his current state is like a soul that had left its body. Despite the body being so close, he couldn’t return to it because he was being held down by Su Ling. No matter how he struggled, the hand grabbing onto him didn’t move.

“Su Ling……”

Cheng Zhi Chu called out the teenager’s name in a pleading tone. The teenager next to him turned around and looked at him quietly for a few seconds before turning away and saying in a quiet voice:

“Do you think Bai Yi will jump from here?”

“You……Su Ling, you can’t do this.”

Cheng Zhi Chu shook his head. He revealed an anxious look, but he couldn’t explain to Su Ling that the current Bai Yi isn’t the Bai Yi from back then. He could only try to persuade him powerlessly.

“……..You don’t want him to die?”

However, Su Ling misunderstood him. The hand gripping onto him tightened and his eyes turned dark.

“You still like him so much.”

“Even after knowing what he did to me that year, you still like him more than the feelings you have for me.”

Cheng Zhi Chu didn’t know how he should explain to Su Ling. He could only shake his head desperately: “No, this isn’t the same. Bai Yi he…….”

“I know it’s not the same.”

Su Ling lowered his eyes and said faintly.

“To you, how can I have the same status as him?”

“But……..I’m sorry. Even if you still love him, I won’t let him leave here today.”

“I want to return to him everything that he did to me in the past.”

On the other half of the roof that is shrouded by the night, the other Su Ling said to Ou Yang and Zhao Xiao Pang expressionlessly:

“Do you want to live? As long as Bai Yi is dead, you can leave here safely.”

“If he doesn’t want to jump, you can push him down. No matter what method you use, as long as he is dead you will be free.”

Having said that, he looked at Gu Zhen and Shen Qi Qi: “The same applies to you.”

“No…….”

Shen Qi Qi shook her head with red eyes. Ou Yang and Zhao Xiao Pang’s face were deathly pale. Beads of sweat formed on their heads and signs of conflict was evident on their faces. Their expressions twisted and distorted and finally they couldn’t do it anymore. They sat on the ground and cried out:

“No, I can’t do it………I can’t kill people……..”

“Su Ling, please. I know we were in the wrong. We were really wrong. I’ll admit to my mistakes and give you a bow. We really regret what we have done. Please let us go. Please, I beg you!”

“Are you jumping or not?”

Su Ling was indifferent to their pleading and just looked coldly at Bai Yi.

“I’ll jump.”

Bai Yi gently placed Cheng Zhi Chu’s body down onto the ground. He took a few steps and moved over to the edge of the roof. Standing before the hole in the fence, he said: “But you must let Zhi Chu return to normal.”

Ou Yang and Zhao Xiao Pang were frightened and flustered: “Brother Bai!! No!!”

“………….”

But even so, Su Ling was quiet. It seems that if he didn’t see Bai Yi jump from there, he wouldn’t do anything.

“Bai Yi! Bai Yi!”

Seeing Bai Yi standing on the edge of the roof, Cheng Zhi Chi cried out his name with a pale face. He wanted to try and get his attention, but everything was futile.

Despite the fact that he understood that Bai Yi would definitely not jump from there and was just doing it to distract Su Ling, he was worried that Su Ling would suddenly do something to make Bai Yi fall.

Even if he wanted revenge, he shouldn’t do it to the wrong person!

Cheng Zhi Chu looked over at the Su Ling next to him. In a moment of panic, he suddenly thought that if the Su Ling next to him was the boss of this instance and if he is able to kiss Su Ling now, he would be able to end the instance and Bai Yi wouldn’t be hurt!

But which of the two Su Ling is real? Which one should he kiss?

Anxious, Cheng Zhi Chu couldn’t tell the differentiate between them. Even if he wanted to go and kiss the other Su Ling, he would still need to kiss the Su Ling next to him first.

Feeling Cheng Zhi Chu’s gaze on him, the teenager’s eyes moved, and he also looked back. He then suddenly saw Cheng Zhi Chu lean towards him and kiss him straight on his lips.

“………..”

The teenager’s eyes widened in shock. The hand grabbing onto Cheng Zhi Chu’s hand fell. Cheng Zhi Chu suddenly felt his consciousness swaying and his body feeling heavy. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself back inside his own body and the other Su Ling standing not far from him.

Since there was an incident before where there was a delay between the kiss with the boss and the power taking effect, and because Cheng Zhi Chu wasn’t sure if he had kissed the right person, he immediately decided without any hesitation to kiss this Su Ling again too.

And so, he immediately climbed up from the ground and rushed over to Su Ling with just a couple of steps. Holding his face, he actively moved in and kissed him.

“………”

At the same time, Bai Yi’s and Gu Zhen’s expressions changed.

I think I really want to jump from here.
