C328 reencounter (1/2)
After I went up to the seventh floor, I knocked on the door. The door didn't open and I knocked heavily a few more times, but there was still no sound. At this moment, a teacher passed by and said, ”Don't knock anymore. Teacher Wang had already gotten off work. There's no one inside.”
”Ai, this guy actually left.” I helplessly went downstairs and bumped into the young girl, Jian Wei, who had just finished school. She smiled and said, ”What a coincidence! I met you again. Did you see Lei Yuan?”
I shook my head. ”Nope. If I saw her, I would definitely call you. I don't even know what happened to that girl. She really is infuriating.”
The young girl, Jenne, smiled sweetly. ”It's alright. I'll be able to see her at the outing tomorrow. We'll talk about it when the time comes.” She greeted me and walked away, and as I watched her back, I thought of that dream again.
Why did I have such a strange dream? Could it be that I really like her from the bottom of my heart?
Jian Wei floated by my side and said, ”What are you thinking about? Seeing me in my youth, how can you be so distracted? Am I such a heavenly beauty?”
”Stop boasting, alright? I'm about to vomit.” I said snappily.
Jian Wei pouted. ”However, I still have to tell you something. I really don't like you right now, that's for sure.”
”Who do you like?” I'm curious, I want to ask.
However, the ghost, Jian Wei, had a rare look on her face as she said, ”I forgot.” Then it drifted away.
”Damn, even ghosts have a temper. How troublesome.” On the way, I jabbered on and on, wanting to talk to her, but she just floated in the sky and stopped talking to me.
Even though she had always claimed that she was my bride, I had always been a bit suspicious and felt that something was wrong. Before, when she was holding me, when she told me that she heard me call her and apologized to me, it was the happiest moment of her life. In other words, ten years of love life, even that short moment with me was not worth the time I had now.
However, due to the complex timeline, my head hurt just thinking about it. Thus, I decided not to think about it anymore and got on the electric bike to rush home.
Downstairs, I remembered, ”The pawnshop on East Street should have brought the box, right?”
I asked the doorman if he had anything to give me, but he said no.
”Damn, he even claimed that he was a big shop that dealt in both the Yin and Yang worlds, yet he actually went back on his word? Could he have reneged on his promise midway?”
I angrily went upstairs. When I opened the door, I was startled. There really was that box in the middle of the living room!
God, how did the man with the box get in? When I opened the door, the lock was clearly intact, yet no one had touched it. Why did this box appear in my house?
I couldn't figure it out, but I figured it out after a while. After all, the East Street Pawnshop was a very powerful shop and it could travel between the Yin Yang and Yang worlds.
But what was in the box? Why did it interest Wang Da Chuan so much? Furthermore, according to Qin Feng, when these chests were kept in the pawnshops on the east side of the street, external forces would frequently come to snatch them. Three hundred years ago, they had been kept in the storerooms of the pawnshops on the east side for three hundred years.
