Chapter 436 - The First Song of Qin (9) (1/2)
Qin Ge really didn’t harass her any more. And Shi Sheng had no time to go harass him—she needed to cultivate.
Shi Sheng only appeared during the end-of-semester tests held right before the winter break.
These types of tests were very easy for her. After she finished, Shi Sheng packed up to go into the mountains; spirit energy was richer there.
She had to hurry up and cultivate so she could return to seduce her man.
After packing everything into her space, Shi Sheng made for the school gates without carrying anything.
It was currently the rush period where the holidays had finally come, so the school gates were crowded with parents and guardians who were here to pick up their kids. All sorts of cars were parked outside.
Shi Sheng caught sight of Qin Ge with one glance because he stood out from the crowd.
He was standing together with Qiao Qian’qian. The two appeared to exchange a few sentences before she interlocked an arm with his.
WTF!
Shi Sheng, “!!!”
‘WTF?! What happened?! FL-sama, let go of the villain! Let me at him!’
Shi Sheng rushed forward a few steps before halting.
Wouldn’t she lose face if she simply went over there like this? That wouldn’t do.
‘Even if he’s Feng Ci, I’m(lz) not going to make a fool of myself(lz).’
Besides, she didn’t have any basis to go over.
Shi Sheng stood a bit further back from the entrance and watched Qiao Qian’qian and Qin Ge.
Soon, she saw Tang Jinchen drive a sweet car over to Qiao Qian’qian. Seeing the two with arms interlocked, Tang Jinchen’s expression clearly darkened.
Qiao Qian’qian said something to Tang Jinchen that caused him to drive off in anger.
After he left, she released Qin Ge.
He turned to walk back to the school, whereupon he caught sight of Shi Sheng and paused.
Shi Sheng blinked. She didn’t have time to ponder whether to greet him or not.
Qin Ge had already left as if he didn’t see her.
Shi Sheng, “…” ‘Shit shit shit.’
That same night, she took a cab to a remote little town.
Shi Sheng had done some research online. The people here tended to have long lives. The girls were pretty and the guys were handsome—it was a great place to settle down. Places like these tended to be rich in spirit energy.
The town was built on the side of a mountain. The path up and down the mountain was filled with twists and turns. It was as though the car would fall off as soon as the driver wasn’t paying attention.
When she got out of the car, Shi Sheng could feel the overwhelming spirit energy that greeted her. Staying here for a few months should be enough for her to confirm whether Qin Ge was Feng Ci.
The town was far away from any cities and boasted beautiful scenery, so many people came here as tourists, expanding its tourism industry.
Shi Sheng rented a room here.
Shi Sheng spent most of her time on the mountain. She occasionally left, but only at night, so she rarely ran into anyone.
It snowed easily on mountains. But Shi Sheng found that the spirit energy grew denser when it snowed, so she ended up staying there longer than she’d originally planned to.
Only after school had been open for a month already did Shi Sheng return.
Had she not left a message behind for Chen Xi before leaving, he probably would’ve filed a missing person report with the police already.
As for her family, Shi Sheng had already come up with an excuse to fool Qiao-fu. Qiao-mu was completely unresponsive—probably unwilling to see her rebellious daughter.
Some mothers could be even worse than stepmothers.
……
Qin Ge conducted roll call before every lesson, but every time he called Qiao Chu, no one answered.
He heard she hadn’t even reported in yet…
There was a strange feeling in his heart. Not even he could name it. It was just an odd feeling of being unable to control his thoughts.
“Zhao Jing.”
“Here.”
“Lu Po.”
“Here.”
“Qiao Chu.”
“Zhou Wu.” Qin Ge didn’t pause before continuing to read the next name, but this time, two voices answered him.
