Chapter 15 - Transfer (1/2)

“Zhang Hua’s time of death was around nine o’clock.” The man in the suit tapped his fingers on the table.

“So?”

“You went to her dormroom at eleven forty and saw her.”

“How do you know?”

She had only told the female lead about this matter, but she believed that Xueqing would never tell anyone else.

The man in the suit looked at her and didn’t answer her question.

He pointed his finger to his eyes, “You can see ghosts.”

It wasn’t a question but a certainty.

Lin Siyi was a bit confused as to what the other person was trying to say.

After hesitating she nodded his head.

Who knew that the man in the suit suddenly slapped the table in excitement, “That’s right, so you should go to the C courtyard and use your talent instead of staying in B courtyard and continue to remain anonymous. I’ll have someone transfer you to the courtyard right now.”

“Wait!”

Transfer?

If she transferred, wouldn’t that mean she would not be able to go to class, back to the dorm, and hang out with the female lead anymore?

No, she’d had a hard time earning some goodwill with the female lead, and definitely couldn’t leave at this point.

What’s more, the murderer who killed the original owner is still unknown, so if she’s far away from the female lead, isn’t her safety not guaranteed?

The man in the suit asked, “Is there anything else you want to say, Student Lin Siyi?”

Lin Siyi, “Wait a minute, what did you just say in that sentence?”

The man in the suit faltered, “We’ll get you a transfer right away.”

“No. One more sentence.”

Trying to remember, “You can see ghosts?”

Some weren’t sure if that was what the other party was asking.

Who knew that Lin Siyi immediately cut off and shouted, “No, I can’t see any ghosts, Headmaster, you’re mistaken! I didn’t even see Zhang Hua that night, so don’t listen to anyone’s nonsense!”

The man in the suit suddenly laughed, causing Lin Siyi to get confused.

“What are you laughing at?”

The man in the suit looked to the couch next to him and stated, “Hey, how long are you going to pretend to be asleep, Headmaster?”

There was a lot of mess piled on the couch, and a man with messy hair suddenly leaped out of it, startling Lin Siyi.

She looked at the man in the suit in front of her, and then at the man smiling towards her, stammering, “You… You guys”

“Us?” The man in the suit pointed to himself, “Oh, I forgot to introduce myself, I’m the twin brother of your headmaster, and-” he deliberately paused, then approached Lin Siyi.

As the other approached, Lin Siyi shuddered.

“And also,” deliberately trailing off, “I’m a dead man.”

“What?”

As the words fell out, the formerly normal face in front of her was suddenly distorted and covered in blood, eyes bulging out and staring at her fiercely.

“Fuck!”

Lin Siyi’s reflexes went up with a punch.

“Ow!” The man in the suit covered his face in pain.

After the beating, Lin Siyi regretted a bit, because she suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a scenario like this in the original.

As the headmaster’s dead brother, his only concern was his own brother.

So he hovered around his brother, waiting for him to die of old age and reincarnate with him.

As the headmaster’s brother, he’s been a big help when the female lead is in danger.

As the female lead’s backer, she must not be offended.

Although he was a bit older, maybe the author was deranged and set him up as a hidden boss?

“Are you, are you okay?” Lin Siyi was full of concern.

The man in the suit covered his face, “It hurts so much. Little girl, you’re very strong, come here and take a look, you might have been given me a mark.”

Lin Siyi leaned in, who knew that the man in the suit suddenly let go of the hand covering his face and made a face at her.

“Got fooled, there’s actually nothing wrong, I’m a dead man, how can I still be afraid of your punch? Use your brain, young lady.”

Lin Siyi was expressionless. She looked to the headmaster who got up from the couch and poured a cup of tea himself sitting on the side slowly savoring it, “Is he always like this?”

The headmaster shrugged, “No. Do you think I look more like my brother?”

Before she could answer, the man in the suit was disgruntled, “Kid, if you say something like that again, would you believe that I’ll strangle you?”

“I thought you said you were going to let me die of old age?”

“When did I say that?”

“Look, you’re not admitting what you said again. Good thing I had the foresight to record it, want to hear it?”

The man in the suit got worked up, “Good boy, bullying your brother for having a bad memory, huh?”

Headmaster, “You’re the one who denied it in the first place.”

“I wasn’t denying it then, I just didn’t remember. Being honest and trustworthy is the way to be, am I be the kind of person to go back on my word!”

The headmaster calmly continued to drink his tea, “Well, you’re not a person. You’re a ghost.”

……

Lin Siyi watched the two of them exchange words with each other, and silently took a step back, ready to slip away.

“Stop.” Wait a moment.”

In unison, the two men looked at her.

Lin Siyi smiled awkwardly, “I wonder if there is anything else for the both of you?”

The headmaster looked at her, “You don’t seem surprised as to why he’s here.”
