Chapter 109: Chapter 109: Lin Xiaoyu’s Invitation_1
The next day, Qin Sisi went to the hotel front desk to check out. As there were quite a few people checking out, she decided to wait in the lobby.
There was a huge buzz about Shi Yan’s incident, and while Qin Sisi was waiting, she heard many follow-ups regarding Shi Yan’s case.
Shi Yan’s mistress, who was pregnant, learned of his death and went to his original spouse demanding division of property. In their ensuing argunt, the mistress was injured and lost her baby.
The woman Shi Yan was intimate with in the hotel had not been found. The staff described her appearance, and surveillance showed that they both entered the room together that night and no one ca out yet the woman was nowhere to be found; she seed to have vanished into thin air.
Latter, soone claiming to be a college classmate of Shi Yan posted online that he had always been in love with Shi Yan’s girlfriend from their college days, Bai Xue. When he found out that Shi Yan had married soone else, he went looking for Bai Xue , hoping to win her heart.
But despite several years of searching, he could not find her. Bai Xue’s closest friends didn’t have her contact details, not even her parents knew where she went.
After Shi Yan’s incident, this classmate made inquiries and though he could not see the surveillance footage, he felt that the woman the staff described looked very similar to Bai Xue.
So, he speculated that this was a supernatural event. Bai Xue might no longer be in the living world. Ten years ago, Shi Yan had killed Bai Xue to marry his boss’s daughter, and now, ten years later, Bai Xue’s ghost had co to take her revenge.
Such a conclusion astounded Qin Sisi. This classmate must be a genius to be so accurate while being so removed from the situation.
Then, Qin Sisi thought of sothing. If Bai Xue hadn’t dwelt on this love and had readily agreed to break up with Shi Yan, she would have possibly lived. Maybe, this classmate who had always secretly loved her would have found her and given her a truly beautiful love.
Qin Sisi sighed. There are too many ifs in the world, which lead to nurous regrets and remorse.
After a long wait, it was finally Qin Sisi’s turn. The front desk staff efficiently processed her check-out, and then she paid and left.
Upon leaving the hotel, Qin Sisi took a cab directly to the train station. Ye You lay quietly in Qin Sisi’s backpack.
Entering the spacious train station, Qin Sisi was about to buy a ticket when her mobile suddenly rang.
Qin Sisi took out her phone. The na displayed on the screen was Lin Xiaoyu.
Qin Sisi hesitated for a mont before answering the call: "Hello."
On the other end of the call, Lin Xiaoyu spoke in a mystical tone: "Sisi, can we talk now?"
Qin Sisi moved to a quieter corner with her phone and replied: "Yes, what’s up?"
Lin Xiaoyu said: "Can you co to Z city to help
out?"
Qin Sisi was a little puzzled: "Help you? Are you mistaken? What can I do to help you?"
Seeing Qin Sisi reluctant, Lin Xiaoyu urged anxiously: "Sisi, I’m serious. It’s not about . It’s about a colleague who shares rent with . His girlfriend just died in a car accident."
Undoubtedly it was a sad and regretful incident. But Qin Sisi was still confused: "But what can I do about this?"
Lin Xiaoyu lowered his voice and said: "This is his third girlfriend who has died. I feel like sothing’s wrong. I often feel cold when I get up to use the bathroom in the middle of the night. It kind of feels like...the ti when you made
see a ghost in my house."
Qin Sisi was startled and quickly asked: "Are you sure?"
Lin Xiaoyu replied with so conflict: "Sisi, I can’t be sure of anything. I’m just suspicious. I feel there’s sothing wrong with the situation, so I wanted to ask you to co over and confirm it."
Qin Sisi thought for a mont then said: "Wait a bit. Things are a little hectic here. I’ll call you back shortly."
She hung up the call, and carrying her backpack, she walked into the washroom. Inside the most innermost stall, Qin Sisi locked the door, unzipped her backpack, and let Ye You out.
Qin Sisi quickly explained Lin Xiaoyu’s situation to Ye You. After listening, Ye You quickly made a decision: "Let’s go and see, what if it’s true?"
Qin Sisi nodded and said: "I think so too."
Fearing that too much communication might lead to trouble, Ye You imdiately returned to the backpack after the decision was made.
After leaving the restroom, Qin Sisi went to the ticket counter. She purchased a train ticket to Z city but since it was quite late, there were only hard seat tickets available for the night train.
Under the current circumstances, Sisi had no room for preference, so she bought it directly.
After purchasing the ticket, she called Lin Xiaoyu and inford him that she had bought a train ticket to Z city and told him the arrival ti. Lin Xiaoyu promised to pick her up at the train station.
She had a al and rested for a few hours in an inn near the train station. At night, Qin Sisi boarded the train to Z city.
After nearly ten hours of bumpy journey on the hard seat, Qin Sisi arrived in the northern city of Z early in the morning the next day.
The leaves on the tall trees had turned yellow. The autumn wind swept across, causing the fragile yellow leaves to tremblingly detach from the branches and drift down in the cool air.
Upon exiting the train station, Qin Sisi saw Lin Xiaoyu at the exit as expected. After exchanging pleasantries,
Lin Xiaoyu looked secretly at Qin Sisi’s stomach and, lowering his voice, asked: "Did you hide your black cat under your clothes again?"
Qin Sisi replied a bit embarassed: "Not this ti, it’s here."
While she spoke, she pointed to her backpack.
Lin Xiaoyu opened his mouth in disbelief: "No way, don’t all bags have to go through security checks?"
Qin Sisi chuckled and said: "Did you forget? My spirit pet is unusual."
Just as Lin Xiaoyu was about to ask sothing else, Qin Sisi pre-empted him: "Enough about that. Tell
about your housemate."
Lin Xiaoyu nodded and said: "Alright, let’s take the subway first."
Perhaps due to the early hour, there weren’t many people in the subway. Qin Sisi and Lin Xiaoyu found a quiet corner and sat down, and then, Lin Xiaoyu began to tell Qin Sisi about his housemate on the subway ride.
Lin Xiaoyu’s housemate and colleague was nad Chen Nuo. Chen Nuo had a girlfriend in university nad ng Jia. The apartnt that Chen Nuo and Lin Xiaoyu were living in now was originally rented by Chen Nuo and ng Jia.
Chen Nuo and ng Jia had a good relationship. They both went to college in Z city, and after graduation, they both found jobs in Z city. Everything seed to be going perfectly smoothly.
However, three years ago, ng Jia died unexpectedly in a car accident.
