Chapter 1537 – An Qingyu’s Request
Cao Yuan froze.
”Don’t be so surprised, I’m not stupid.” Lu Menglei blinked her eyes.
”The calluses on your hands are too thick, this is simply not something that can come out from practicing swords as a child, and there is also the aura emanating from you …… The average person who got into this school with nine years of compulsory education, how can they have such a heavy aura of fury? Even some veterans who have gone to war may not be able to compare with you.
I guess, you must have a background that is mysterious and can’t be told to others casually!
Right?!”
Looking at Lu Menglei’s glowing eyes, Cao Yuan unexpectedly didn’t know what to reply for a moment.
”I understand, you don’t need to answer, I already know the answer if you didn’t deny it.”
Lu Menglei hesitated for a moment, looked around and after confirming that no one was around, she still stood on her tiptoes and came to Cao Yuan’s ear, a fragrant breeze filling Cao Yuan’s nostrils.
”Can I, can I join you guys?” She tried in a small voice.
”Can’t.” Cao Yuan refused very decisively.
Lu Menglei sighed in frustration.
”Then …… you really don’t have time to come? Any time is fine!”
Cao Yuan looked at Lu Menglei’s gaze full of hope, and after pondering for a moment, he let out a long sigh, “I should be able to have time to come over in the evening if I go to work during the day,…… but it’ll be very late, pretty much get the early hours of the morning.”
”Never mind!” Lu Menglei’s eyes lit up, “What time is fine, as long as I can spar with you …… amount …… of time, I can come anytime!”
Seeing this, Cao Yuan no longer excuses himself, “Then, I’ll see you at night.”
”Good!”
Shangjing City, night.
Lin Qiye rubbed the corners of his tired eyes, his figure landed on the top of a tall building, overlooking this neon flashing street below, and let out a long sigh.
”There’s no ah …… those Migos, what exactly are they looking for?”
Lin Qiye, Chen Han, and the members of the Night’s Watch headquarters had already searched most of downtown Shangjing, even within three kilometers of the ground had been probed by Lin Qiye with his spiritual power, and there was nothing out of the ordinary at all.
”Captain Lin, let’s stop here today, you’ve worked hard.” In the earphone, Chen Han’s voice was equally exhausted.
”It can only be this way, if it’s not possible, tomorrow I’ll try the ‘Miracle’ Seeker …… I don’t know if it will be effective.”
Lin Qiye took off his headset, glanced at the time, and his figure disappeared at the end of the sky in a flash of night.
Creak-!
Lin Qiye pushed open the gate of the joint courtyard, the courtyard was very lively, An Qingyu was sitting at the chessboard under the tree playing against Jiang’er, while Li Yifei got on An Qingyu’s wheelchair and started racing around the courtyard, occasionally letting out surprise cheers.
”Seven Nights, where have you been?” An Qingyu couldn’t help but ask after not seeing Lin Qiye for a day.
”Chen Han asked me to help him with his official business, so I stayed at the Shangjing City Residency for a day.” Lin Qiye shrugged helplessly, then pulled away from the conversation, “Right, how do you feel today?”
”It feels …… about the same as yesterday, there’s no obvious improvement in arithmetic power, it seems like there’s a little bit of regression …… ” An Qingyu frowned.
”Not really a regression, just a hand ahead by me.” Jiang Er comforted, “Since Seven Nights is here, you two can play for a while, I’ll go and cook medicine for you.”
Jiang Er left the chessboard and floated into the room, while Lin Qiye walked over to An Qingyu and sat down across from him, lifting his son to play with him.
”Seven Nights, I ran into something strange today.”
While the two were playing chess, Li Yi Fei drove his wheelchair over and spoke with an odd expression.
”Weird thing? Tell me.”
Li Yi Fei said what he encountered today, Lin Qiye raised his eyebrows and laughed, “That’s the new reserve team doing a mission, that’s just a remnant soul from the last century, don’t think too much about it.”
”But she seems to be obsessed with me?”
”What about these residual souls, they were all left behind because of various things that led to suicide on the five teaching buildings, perhaps what made her obsessed was a certain man who looks a lot like you, and since she’s already been brought back to the classroom by Fang Mo and the others, this matter is considered to be over.”
”So it’s like this ……”
Li Yifei nodded his head with an expression of wanting to say something.
”What’s wrong?”
”Nothing …… I just looked at the way she looked when she left and felt a bit pitiful.”
Lin Qiye’s hand that was pinching the chess pieces gave a start, turned his head to look at Li Yi Fei, and spoke with a complicated expression, “Maybe. …… These young people are meant to have a hard life, if you’re really over it, you can go and help her.”
”Help her? How to help her?”
”Speak clearly with her, unravel her knot, they are all considered to be lonely souls and wild ghosts, if they can let the resentment and depression in their hearts dissipate some …… is also a good thing.”
Li Yi Fei was pondering.
It didn’t take long for Jiang’er to come to An Qingyu’s side with hot soup and medicine, and after letting him drink it, Lin Qiye got up and said:
”Jiang’er, it’s better for you to accompany him down, I’m a bit tired, I’ll go to bed first.”
”Good ……”
”Eh, I can do it too!” Li Yi Fei volunteered to raise his hand, “Sister Jiang Er, you go rest, I’ll play with him, don’t worry, I won’t let him lose too badly!”
Jiang Er looked at him with an odd expression, “Also …… then you guys play.”
Lin Qiye went back to his room to sleep, Jiang’er went back to her coffin, and only Li Yi Fei and An Qingyu were left in the compound, seriously playing against each other under the tree.
”Hey, Qingyu, I’ll play first then?” Li Yifei opened his mouth with a smile.
Li Yi Fei had lived with them for so long, and had some understanding of An Qingyu’s situation, back then, An Qingyu had killed him directly in the sixth form with his horrible reasoning, which still gave him some palpitations to this day, and at this moment, An Qingyu’s arithmetic was impaired, and being able to have a chance to take revenge on the chessboard, he? Even wandering for adolescent like ?
”Good.” An Qingyu smiled coyly.
Li Yi Fei confidently landed a piece on the chessboard, followed by An Qingyu.
Time passed minute by minute, the smile on Li Yifei’s face gradually disappeared, and in the back, even dense beads of sweat began to emerge on his forehead.
”You lost.” An Qingyu calmly dropped the last piece and said with a smile.
”This …… you this also not sick ah?”
Li Yi Fei incredulously looked at the chess game in front of him.
”It’s not that I’m not sick …… it’s that you’re too much of a vegetable.” An Qingyu couldn’t help but open her mouth, “Your level is still not as good as when Jiang’er played with me at elementary school student level ……”
Li Yifei: ……
Li Yi Fei shook his head in chagrin, “Well …… it seems that I really am not good at these things, I’d better go back to the house and practice the piano ……”
”Practicing the piano?”
”Yeah, in the next two days I’m going to perform at the welcome party.” Said here, Li Yifei was confident again, “It’s not that I’m blowing ah, I played and sang a section on the side of the road today, and immediately there were more than thirty girls looking for me to ask for WeChat ……”
While Li Yifei was chattering and boasting, An Qingyu fell into deep thought ……
”Li Yifei, can you do me a favor?” An Qingyu suddenly opened her mouth.
”Want me to do a favor? You say! I can help for sure!”
An Qingyu paused for a moment and spoke seriously:
”I want to learn guitar.”
