Chapter 10 - Touch (1/2)

“Xueqing, Xueqing, Xueqing!”

A voice echoed down the hallway.

There were several cursing voices from other rooms, “Who the hell can’t be quiet at night!”

As soon as Nan Xueqing stepped out of the bathroom, she saw her dormitory door slam open and Lin Siyi rushed towards her in a flash.

“There’s a ghost!”

Looking at Lin Siyi who was sticking to her like an octopus.

“… …”

The soft touch instantly spread to every nerve in her brain, and Lin Siyi couldn’t help but look down. Her heartbeat quickening and a blush slowly surfaced on the sides of her cheeks.

Just when she wanted to give an exclamation, her body was suddenly pushed backwards violently. Her butt was just about to make close contact with the ground when a pair of hands reached out in time to pull her up.

The force, however, seemed to be somewhat large, Lin Siyi’s sense of balance was out of control, and she pounced directly at Nan Xueqing.

Nan Xueqing originally just wanted to push away Lin Siyi who was on top of her, but didn’t think that the force was a bit too strong, hesitated and grabbed the other party.

Who would have thought that the other party would be so light and with a little bit of force, she pounced towards her again.

Fortunately, there was a wall behind her, and she was able to hold on with her hand facing backwards in time to avoid falling.

Just…

Lin Siyi’s lips had grazed the corner of the other party’s lips, and their cheeks directly and intimately touched. As if Nan Xueqing had been electrocuted, her entire body went numb1.

Lin Siyi clearly felt the female lead’s body stiffen, and then her head smashed right into the wall.

Without flinching, she then immediately jumped back to cover her head, ” Ouch, ouch, ouch!”

Nan Xueqing’s eyes were dull for a moment, then turned cold and piercing.

After Lin Siyi saw it, she blamed herself internally, “Don’t be angry, Xueqing, I’m just a little scared.”

Then she shrunk her head and pointed outside, “It seems like a ghost has entered my room.”

Nan Xueqing did not speak, went to the refrigerator and took out a bottle of milk.

Lin Siyi said, “Ah I don’t want to drink it. Thank you Xueqing, you’re so kind. You’re still thinking about if I’m thirsty at this time.”

Nan Xueqing’s hand holding the milk was a little confused, then she unscrewed the lid and drank most of it in one gulp, then put it back in the fridge.

Lin Siyi touched her nose, somewhat embarrassed, “Oh, it’s you who wants to drink it, so you like milk. I remember I have several bottles in the fridge, I’ll go get it for you.”

Lin Siyi was ready to walk out of the room when her foot suddenly stopped, remembering the sound of footsteps in the room, she pulled a smile, “I’d better get it for you tomorrow.”

With a few dry chuckles, said, “It’s not too late, why don’t we rest early.”

Nan Xueqing looked at her lightly, “Wearing this?”

Only then did Lin Siyi react to the impulse of running out before, only wrapped a towel, and was even more embarrassed.

Nan Xueqing lightly opened her wardrobe and gave her a pajama.

Lin Siyi suddenly recalled that the original novel had described a faint jasmine fragrance on the female lead’s body.

Thinking back to the previous intimate contact with the female lead, it seemed that she did have a very nice smell.

But it could be because the female lead had just taken a bath, and her body was mixed with the smell of the shower gel, so she couldn’t tell whether it was the jasmine fragrance or not.

Lin Siyi looked at the pajamas in her hands and wondered if the female lead’s clothes would have that fragrance on them. Thinking that, she couldn’t help but bring her nose closer.

“What are you doing?” The female lead’s voice suddenly rang out.

Only then did Lin Siyi react to what she was doing.

Gosh, she was smelling her clothes in front of the female lead. She wouldn’t think she was disgusted with the smell of her clothes, would she?

This is absolutely impossible!

“Don’t misunderstand, Nan Xueqing2.”

“What would I misunderstand?”

Nan Xueqing’s eyes were strange.

Lin Siyi was afraid that the female lead would misunderstand, “It’s not what you think!”

“Is it?”

“I’m definitely not complaining about your clothes, I just want to smell if there’s any of your smell on it.”

After saying it in one breath, Lin Siyi felt that this sentence seemed a bit strange.

Seeing the female lead take a step back without a sound, Lin Siyi felt that the other party was still misunderstanding her. She thought of explaining a few things, but Nan Xueqing’s light voice sounded faintly, “Go to bed.”

Lin Siyi, “…”

Actually, she can explain!

————

Although the curtains were pulled up, a slit was exposed, the moon quietly slipped in from it, giving the black room a hint of brightness.

Lin Siyi lay on the bed remembering the footsteps in her dorm, how could she not sleep. She looked at the female lead in the opposite bed. She couldn’t see the other’s face and didn’t know if she was asleep.

So she softly called out, “Xueqing, are you asleep?”

There was no response for a long time, and just when she thought the other party was asleep, the female lead’s voice slowly spoke up.

“There won’t be any ghosts anywhere in the academy, except for the Soul Crossing Courtyard, unless…”

“Unless what?” Lin Siyi picked up quickly.

“There are two situations where ghosts will temporarily appear.”

“What situations?”

Lin Siyi was full of curiosity, and although she had checked out the books, she wasn’t that good yet.

In a few hours, she devoured several large books in a single glance3.

“The newly dead and the ghosts of the Clean Soul Temple.”

“The newly dead?”

The ghosts of the Clean Soul Temple, Lin Siyi knew that being able to enter the Temple was proof that the ghost was not dangerous.

They first stayed in the Clean Soul Temple to remember everything about their lives and find their final knot or wish.

After that, they are led to complete it by a soul diversionist who specializes in them.

Usually, the ghosts at the Clean Soul Temple don’t appear alone, and are followed by a soul diversionist.

But there was nothing but footsteps in the corridor earlier, so this was unlikely.

“Those who have just died have not yet had time to be collected into the Soul Crossing Courtyard, so they will appear nearby.”

Nan Xueqing’s tone trailed off, then said, “You don’t have to worry, if it’s a ghost, it will be collected into the Soul Crossing Courtyard by tomorrow at the latest.”
