Chapter 41: Xue Li, Jiejie (1/2)

After the afternoon's lesson had ended, I originally wanted to go to the library for night self-revisions, but I hadn't walked out of the school building when I saw a very familiar figure from the windows, standing by the school gates waiting for someone.

I was unable to see clearly as the distance was too far, hence I slightly raised my spectacles and squinted, and blurrily saw a green colored status.

It's Xue Li-xiaojie.

Turned around to look at Lian Bing who was still tidying her books, I said.

”Lian Bing, Xue Li came to pick you up already~”

”Ara? It should be that she's picking you up instead, Cheng Jun?”

”Eyy? Me? Ahh...........”

Now that it's being said, when I left the house this morning, Xue Li-xiaojie did mention that she would come to pick me up.

”Huhuhu..........I'll go first then, Cheng Jun. Although I really want to go back together with you, but I still have some lessons to attend at night, so farewell first then.”

Her mood still wasn't in a good state, huh. Starting from when I returned too late during noon until now, she had always been like that. Right now, basing on her smile and laughter I could deduce out about her current mood already. Normally, when her mood was delighted, she would carry a higher-pitched's 4th sectioned laughter, and this kind of low-sliding pitch's 3rd sectioned laughter proved that she's extremely vexed right now.

I thought for a moment, and grabbed onto Lian Bing's hands, who wanted to leave the classroom, pulling her to my front and lightly hugging her, while gently stroking her head.

No matter what, I being a boyfriend, when my girlfriend's mood was depressed, I more or less should comfort her a little, right?

”I'll see you tomorrow.”

”...........You're so sly, Cheng Jun.”

She blanked out for a while before immediately burying her face deep into my chest and rubbed around onto it, not like a little kitten spoiling cutely about, but rather like a snake, squirming around within my embrace...........it's bafflingly horrifying.

”Lian Bing?”

”Huhuhuhu~ Bye bye then~”

Looks like her mood had turned from bad to good already.

As long as she's able to always maintain a good mood, my personal safety would be guaranteed then. As the saying goes, 'sacrificing oneself to feed a tiger', hence I must be concerned about this female tiger's mood often.

I once again lowered my head to tidy up my books, placing today's homework subjects and textbooks into my bag, while storing the remaining inside the school desk instead.

”Cheng Jun?”

”Mm? What's the matter? Is there anything else?”

I originally thought that she had already left, but hadn't expect her to return back once more.

Only poking out half of her head, she waved her hand towards me, as her pure pink-colored status placed my heart into a trance.

”I'll see you tomorrow~?”

”...........Ahhh! See you tomorrow!”

The female tiger also had moments where she would turn into a female kitten too, huh..........

From the windows, after I saw Lian Bing greeting Xue Li and boarding the limousine, I too carried my bag and walked out of the classroom. I had a distinct feeling that there's someone looking at me from behind...........but Lian Bing had gone already, so who was it exactly that was still staring at me?

Turning around all four corners, I'm unable to locate the source of those gazes. Scratching my head, I then carried a troubled expression as I walked out of the school building, and met up with Xue Li-xiaojie who was still waiting for me by the school gate.

”Jun Cheng-shàoye, I've been respectfully awaiting you for quite some time already.”

”Xue-Li-xiaojie, sorry for the long wait.”

Xue Li-xiaojie didn't put on her maid outfit, but had changed into an attire of white-colored wool sweater and jeans, looking vastly different from usual; having an elder sister-like appearance.

I didn't expect that she would really come to pick me up, plus she even especially considered about my feelings and changed away her maid outfit which easily attracted attention; it's really too considerate of her already.

”Just call out my name, the me right now isn't a maid, hm? Huhu.”

Xue Li-xiaojie who had taken off that outfit of maid costume had her attitude more relaxed, it should be from her 'work mode' changing into 'everyday life mode', I guess.

”Then you don't need to call me shàoye too, and also, there's no need to use honorifics anymore.”

”Ah, you do have a point, then is it alright to call you Jun Cheng directly? Or should I address you as Cheng Jun, just like dàxiaojie, hm?”

(TL: the ”you” here she mentioned still was polite-manner form though, a ”您”)

”Stop pronouncing out my name in reverse already............recently, I've always been addressed out in reverse by her, causing even myself onto feeling that my name should be An Cheng Jun, and not An Jun Cheng instead.”

”Huhu, understood, then I'll call you Xiao' Jun, may I?”

”No problem about that. And also, mn, Xue Li, your this attire is quite pretty too.”

Because I usually didn't converse much with people, hence praising onto other people's attire felt to be rather bizarre, but at any rate I still managed to say it out.

Speaking of which, being called as Xiao' Jun and whatnot was my first time too, eyy. I had a distinct feeling that it's just like getting along with an elderly jiejie...........ah, Xue Li-xiaojie looked to be older than me, she originally was like a jiejie, I guess.

”Thank you very much.”

Xue Li gave off a smile, and after bowing and thanked me, she caressed her face as she said.

”I heard from dàxiaojie that Xiao' Jun still need to attend night self-revisions, right, so I seemingly came at a rather inappropriate timing already?”

”It's fine, I won't be going for the night self-revisions today.”

Because in my hands still held a few signed notes that Li Li gave me, hence I could temporarily not go for night self-revisions. But the most important thing was that Xue Li-xiaojie had already come to pick me up, and I felt rather embarrassed for her to be continuing waiting for me.

Xue Li-xiaojie had seemingly anticipated my thoughts long ago, not revealing too much of a surprised expression when I said that I wasn't going for the night self-revisions. Perhaps she had knew beforehand that I had some signed notes already.

”Then since this opportunity is rare, let's properly have a talk, Xiao' Jun.”

”What do you want to talk about?”

”Matters about dàxiaojie.”

I wasn't surprised at all, as from the moment Xue Li-xiaojie mentioned that she wanted to have a talk, I had already expected that she would be discussing about topics regarding Lian Bing.

When we met each other for the first time, Xue Li-xiaojie seemingly already wanted to tell me a certain something, but didn't say it out due to Lian Bing being present on scene. Right now, we could finally properly discuss about it already.

”There's a reason onto why dàxiaojie would be having that kind of fetish..........because when she was a child, she witnessed a huge amount of deaths, and thus under a distorted mentality developed a wrong set of values.”

”Witnessed a huge amount of deaths?”

”That's right, dàxiaojie and Mistress were being implicated within an indifferently huge massacre. Dàxiaojie who was a child then was spared from the disaster because she was being hugged by Mistress within her embrace, but Mistress instead............”

”Passed away?”

So she originally lost her mother, just like me..........now that I think of it, our fates were nearly alike as well.

”..........That's right, Mistress passed away.”

In an instant, I felt a strange intimidating presence exuding out from Xue Li-xiaojie, that bout of dangerous aura was exactly the same as Lian Bing's, no, it's even more unadulterated compared to hers!

An appalling aura emanated out from Xue Li-xiaojie, and at the upper area of vision where my spectacles were unable to cover, Xue Li-xiaojie's status had already turned bloody-red colored. Also, those words had already became blurried, just like a television screen which didn't have any signal at all, slitting and dispersing throughout the surroundings!

Was, this really an aura being able to be exuded out by a human being!

”Xue Li-xiaojie?!”

I exclaimed shockingly, with Xue Li-xiaojie then retracting her horrific aura.

”Sorry, I've frightened you already...........after that it became my duty to take care of dàxiaojie, but dàxiaojie's soul had already been distorted. Xiao' Jun, you should also have known about it, right?”

”Mm.”

It should be said instead that I'm already extremely clear about it, but I still don't understand why she would become the current [Corpse Lover Homicidal Maniac], hadn't anyone discovered onto her aberrance?

”Then what about her father? Didn't he enlighten her about it?”

”That man...........don't even talk about enlightening, not only did he not correct dàxiaojie's mistake, he even added fuels to the flames discreetly, causing dàxiaojie to form an even more crooked set of values.”

Not addressing him as Master, even more not using honorifics as well. Even though she’s the Head Maid, she instead was being so impertinent towards someone whom she was serving, could it be that Xue Li-xiaojie basically didn’t even acknowledge that Master of her's at all?

I felt that Lian Bing's family circumstances were even more complicated than what I’ve imagined………..

”About dàxiaojie's father, using one sentence to describe him, he's a pure careerist. Plundering, extorting, engulfing every single thing he wanted, he’s a man who is the very incarnation of greed.”

That's why he would construct such a gargantuan Ji Group. A few days back when I was hospitalized, I used the computer to track a bit about Lian Bing's family background, and it really gave me a jump scare.

That’s already not the normal level of wealthiness. You could say that it’s a business empire that is able to affect onto the entire world.
