Chapter 14 - Trouble (1/2)

As Lin Siyi woke up, an enormous face appeared in front of her. She grabbed the blanket in fright and cowered back.

“What’s your name1?”

Chen Xing looked at her with heavy dark circles under her eyes.

Lin Siyi took a deep breath and asked carefully, “Did you stay up all night?” Stayed up late reading a novel?

The last sentence didn’t come out, after all, she was afraid of guessing wrong and having the other party misunderstand her about something again.

Chen Xing looked at her energetic appearance and wondered, “Didn’t you hear anything last night?”

“Hear what?” Could it be that Zhang Hua’s ghost has not left yet?

Unexpectedly, Chen Xing went back to her side of the room, “I think there’s something going on downstairs. It’s been bothering me all night.”

“Then you-” Lin Siyi wanted to ask whether she should sleep for a while longer, but remembered that she still had classes in the morning and the other party was in the same class as her, so she closed her mouth.

But Chen Xing misunderstood what she meant, “No need for you to care. You should worry about yourself.”

“l-“

“I’m leaving. Take your time to clean up after yourself. Don’t blame me for not reminding you if you’re late.”

Lin Siyi watched Chen Xing take a few books, open the door, and leave.

She immediately looked at the time and got up to wash up, wondering if the female lead have left or not.

So Lin Siyi immediately carried her bag and ran to the female lead’s dorm.

The door was closed, so she knocked and pushed it straight open shouting, “Nan Xueqing are-.”

The voice stopped abruptly.

The short-haired girl, who looked like a boy, was making the bed looked at her, “Yo, if it isn’t Lin Siyi. Why do you want to look for Nan Xueqing?”

In the original, there was almost a quick mention of the female lead’s roommate, and as for the drama, it was almost non-existent in the quarter she read.

“Bo… Bo Leng?” Lin Siyi tried to remember.

“I didn’t expect Miss Lin to remember my name. It’s really an honor.”

There was no sarcasm in the other party’s eyes, which instead made Lin Siyi a little embarrassed, “Well, has Xueqing left already?”

Bo Leng spread out her hands, “I don’t know. I didn’t see her when I came back.”

“But at this point, she should be heading to class.”

Lin Siyi, “I see, then I’ll be leaving too. Excuse me.”

“Wait,” the other suddenly called out to her.

“What… What’s wrong?”

Being taller than her and dressed as a boy, standing in front of her was somehow a stressful situation for her.

Seeing the other person pull out her phone and hand it to her, “Add on WeChat.”

“Huh?”

Lin Siyi was surprised.

Bo Leng smiled, “I’ve heard of your name for a long time and never had the chance to get to know you. But seeing you today feels like it’s a bit different from the rumors, why don’t we add WeChat to get to know each other?”

Lin Siyi was a bit confused, but still pulled out her phone and scanned the other person’s QR code to add a friend.

“Okay, it’s almost eight o’clock now, you should go to class.”

Looking at the extra dialog box in her WeChat interface, Lin Siyi was still a bit confused. What the hell was going on?

She thought she was looking for the female lead, but why did she end up adding her roommate’s WeChat.

Wait! Speaking of WeChat, it seems like the original owner’s list doesn’t have the female lead yet.

No, she had to get the contact information of the female lead quickly. This way, even if she didn’t live under the same roof, she could still communicate with each other and improve their relationship.

Bo Leng smiled even more as she watched the other party suddenly turn around and trot off, “It’s just like what Xueqing said, this person has really become interesting.”

Lin Siyi’s eyes fell to the empty seat as soon as she entered the classroom, “Where’s Xueqing?”

“Lin Siyi, did you go to the Soul Crossing Courtyard the night before last!”

When the female lead wasn’t anywhere to be found, Chen Xing was furiously walking towards her.

When the woman didn’t find her, Chen Xing came up to her in anger.

“The night before last?”

“Yes!”

Lin Siyi tried to remember, it seemed like the day Lin Chu Liu chased her, she and the female lead hid in the Soul Crossing Courtyard. It was almost dark, so it was considered night.

She nodded hesitantly.

“You. It’s really you. You even told me before that Zhang Hua’s death had nothing to do with you. You lying bastard!” Chen Xing seemed a bit agitated.

Lin Siyi was confused, how did this involve Zhang Hua’s death again?

Just as Lin Siyi wanted to ask, Liang Jing and Jiang Chun came over.

“The school has determined the time of Zhang Hua’s death, it was around nine o’clock the night before yesterday.”

Liang Jing approached Lin Siyi and said quietly, “It was at the entrance of the Soul Crossing Courtyard that she died, that is, she was killed by a fierce ghost that hadn’t been purified inside.”

“A fierce ghost? Aren’t they all trapped in the Soul Crossing Courtyard and can’t get out?” Lin Siyi didn’t understand.

“There’s no need to say that, it must have been released by someone.” Jiang Chun said.

Lin Siyi sort of understood, “Do you guys suspect that I released it?”

Looking at Chen Xing’s angry eyes, she was a bit speechless, “Have you never read a book? Are those the type of ghosts that I can easily release if I want to?”

When she said that, several people began to think carefully, could it really be that they had misunderstood?

But Jiang Chun was grim, “Who knows, doesn’t your brother know several people from the C Courtyard who might have given you something that can release ghosts.”

Lin Siyi smiled, “May I ask fellow student Jiang Chun, why I would release these harmful things, and why would I harm Zhang Hua?”

“It’s just… That’s naturally because…because”

“Because of what?”
