Chapter 154: Senior’s Request

The girls discussion continued to gnaw at Lu Yibeis mind, causing him to be absentminded during the entire lecture.

While occupied with his thoughts, he found that class was already over, and he just remembered that he had to deal with his counsellor and grumbled inside.

He loves studying; dont get him wrong. Although he isnt studying the major he wants, he thinks that taking university seriously is not necessary. As long as you pass your classes, youre set for the world.

He packed up his unopened textbook and headed straight towards his counsellors office.

The floor leading to his office was somewhat deserted since it was still early in the morning. Some students and lecturers rushed up and down the hallway for their next class.

Walking down the corridor, he came to his counsellors office and knocked on the door.

No response.

Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock

God damn it, I thought you said you were free all day today, he grumbled. Come on

Hearing the constant knocking, a security guard was alerted and found Yibei knocking on the counsellors door endlessly.

Excuse me, what seems to be the problem?

Uh, Im looking for Counsellor Xue. Is he-

Before he could ask whether or not the counsellor was in today, he could see the security guards expression change in an instant.

Are are you really looking for him?

Yes?

He wont be coming in for a while or forever. You should go to the Academic Affairs Department before they go out for their lunch break.

What? Did something happen to Counsellor Xue?

Ah he hesitated to speak and shook his head. I heard that he was sent to the hospital this morning after encountering something.

Something? He thought before speaking. Do you know which hospital hes at? I want to go and see him.

I need to report it to Jiangli and have her investigate it.

He hurried forward and dragged her to a quiet, lush side of the campus. He then returned and picked up her head, which was invisible to everyone and pretended to tie his shoelaces as he ran back to the headless girl.

After returning to the grove, Yibei handed her head over to the girl and sat down on the grass. Why did you appear to me?

Arent you afraid of me? She spoke as she twisted her head back into place like a screw.

Her voice still sounded ghastly and distant.

Whats there to be afraid of? Lu Yibei said it expressionlessly, and there was indeed no fear in his heart.

I scared you the last time you were in the boys bathhouse I thought you would run away again this time! She cried out in a low voice.

He finally came back to his senses and smacked his own head: She doesnt recognise that I was a girl the witch who had helped her

However, if she doesnt know who I am, why did she appear to me?

Well, why did you appear to me?

Huh? She seemed visibly surprised as if she were shocked that a human was fine with her presence.

I found something in school that scares me. I need your help, she spoke reluctantly.

Look, even if I can see you, Im just an ordinary boy. How can I help you?

Y-you see, I know you cant help, but I know you are Professor Mas student, and you have a good relationship with him.

Go on.

I know Professor Ma knows somebody powerful. But I cant find him, so I need your help. That powerful person must have a way to help me out.

Yibei couldnt help but smirk inwardly: Shes talking about me! Not me, but me!

Im a little curiouswhats scaring you, exactly? Arent you a g-ghost yourself?

I like this place a lot, she smiled softly. I dont want to destroy that.

Werent you killed here? He thought to himself. Whats there to like about a traumatic place?

The cool autumn wind blew against her long hair, and the fallen leaves fluttered across her face.

In those cloudy and distant eyes, he could see life and hope within them.
