CH 31

The sensation of closed air in the washbasin is completely different from that in the bath.

The choking came swiftly and fiercely, the cold water flowing in your ears, the sound of your heartbeat as clear as a whisper when you’re underwater.

Jiang Luo counts ten seconds in his mind, each one slowing down four or five times as long. Jiang Luo’s eyes were closed as he waited for the onset of his near-death state.

The room was covered in Fu Lu, like a large evil scene, and after a minute, the room was filled with Fu Lu that lifted up for a moment as if it had been hit hard.

The dark-haired young man in the bathtub hears the rustling of the tokens, but doesn’t care. His eyes are closed and his shirt is meandering with the water, the green veins on the backs of his fists and hands seem to blend into the water, intertwining with his black hair to create an eerie beauty.

“Boom…”

There was another thud, and the entire bathroom door seemed to shake for a moment as the Fu Lu attached to the door burst into flames.

The creature outside seemed to be pinned down for a moment, but ten seconds later, it was back in the bathroom.

Boom, boom, boom.

Jiang Luo’s face is already faintly red, the feeling of oxygen deprivation runs from his limbs to his heart, and his body instinctively tries to climb up out of the bath, but the two-minute countdown has not yet started.

When the whole body is submerged in water, it raises anxiety. The heart is racing, the oxygen consumption is faster and Jiang Luo is already at his limit.

His thoughts became disoriented, and the darkness in front of him seemed to fade into little white dots. A mysterious sensation pulled him into another world, and the pain of the drowning seemed to be relieved for a moment.

He did not know whether he was dying or succeeding, but Jiang Luo’s hands and feet became as weak as lead.

The pace of the heartbeat went downhill, from extremely fast to extremely slow, and life was passing and decaying with the naked eye.

……

” Jiang Luo, you’ve won first place!”

Lu Youyi tapped on the bathroom door with a happy face, but when he got no response, his heart jumped and he had an inexplicable feeling of bad luck when he heard the sound of water inside the bathroom. Lu Youyi struggled to open the bathroom door, and when he saw what was inside the bathroom, his pupils tightened.

His breath hitched and he rushed forward to retrieve Jiang Luo from the water, his hands trembling with anger and fear, “What are you doing!”

Jiang Luo choked and coughed as the water rolled off his body and into the bath, Lu Youyi patted him on the back and draped a towel over his shoulders to carry him out of the bathroom.

Jiang Luo was weakly supported by him, and Yu Guang glanced at the yin and yang ring in his hand.

Failure.

Is it because there is no oppressive sense of crisis from the outside world that would allow him to break through the boundary between life and death, thus preventing him from opening the Yin-Yang Ring?

Jiang Luo’s eyes flashed with contemplation.

Lu Youyi put him on the sofa, rushed around pouring him hot water and bringing him an oxygen tank, and called the others with a stern face, “Jiang Luo killed himself, he was going to die with Chi You.”

Jiang Luo : “……”

He tugged at the towel at his shoulders and felt a headache.

When I called Ge Zhu one by one, he was having chicken soup with Mr. Wan, so he got up and hurriedly said, “Teacher, Jiang Luo is going to die for Chi You.

Teacher Wan was dumbfounded, and a moment later, he called someone he knew well and said, “Lao Xu, ah, alas, it’s our number one Jiang Luo , this kid is too affectionate, he just ……”

Within a minute, the group had gathered in Jiang Luo and Lu Youyi’s room, where Jiang Luo was sitting on the sofa, lost in thought, flexing his skills of double-mindedness when dealing with clients.

Coaching, reprimanding, persuasion, seven people with seven approaches.

But after all was said and done, the atmosphere was still depressing, Zhuo Zhongqiu leaned against the wall and hugged his arms coldly, “Jiang Luo, do you love Chi You that much?”

Jiang Luo is silent.

“You’ve got your whole life ahead of you,” Lu Youyi couldn’t help but say, “Chi You are dead! Stop being obsessed!”

Jiang Luo tried to speak, but no sound came out. He coughed his throat before he said hoarsely, “I just ……” He was silent for a moment, his eyes covered with blood after being flooded, the dark haired youth haggardly and weakly said, “I just miss him so much. ”

“He hasn’t come to see me in ages,” the dark-haired youth said dishevelled, “and I don’t know what to do.”

Ye Xun frowned: “What’s so great about Chi You?”

Jiang Luo couldn’t answer the question, and he smiled feebly in response.

The crowd was so distraught and angry at his current state that even Jiang Luo’s first-place finish was not as joyful as it could have been.

Zhuo Zhongqiu said coldly, “We’ll stay with you tonight, and next time, Jiang Luo, we’ll just overtake Chi You so you’ll never see him again.”

Jiang Luo froze, “Overtake him?”

Jiang Luo could have killed himself for Chi You, and Zhuo Zhongqiu could only use Chi You to threaten him to live, “Chi You has turned into an evil spirit. Jiang Luo, I will do what I say, if there is a next time, I will not show mercy.”

Jiang Luo lowered his head slowly and his shoulders shook gently twice, “I know.”

The others thought he was crying and felt a little bad. Wen Renlian sighed, “Go to sleep, when you wake up, this matter will be over.”

Jiang Luo lay down on the bed and Ye Xun turned out the light for him while the group retreated to the door to discuss matters.

Jiang Luo threw the covers over his head and burst out laughing, the covers fluttering as he laughed heartily.

When he had had his pleasure, he quietly got out of bed to dispose of Fu Lu in the bathroom and returned to bed.

As he prepares to drown, Chi You arrives.

If it hadn’t been for Fu Lu, Jiang Luo would have had to suffer the vengeance of the evil spirits.

This would have been a blessing, but now Jiang Luo is actually a little sorry that his Fu Lu held off the Chi You attack.

When Jiang Luo was on the verge of death, he did have a wonderful sensation, as if his soul and body were about to be separated. But the feeling was so faint that it disappeared without a trace before Jiang Luo could explore it.

He closes his eyes to rest and rubs the yin and yang ring on his right hand with his left hand.

It seems that such a safer near-death state does not allow him to successfully open the Yin-Yang ring.

Jiang Luo’s desire for power even made him think, “If only Chi You had pushed the door in”.

He smiled amusedly, his eyes moving slowly beneath his closed lids.

Chi You ……

And perhaps he could really be used.

After a night out, the next morning the Bai Hua University people were on their return flight.

As soon as he gets off the plane, Jiang Luo receives a call from his original master, Chen Pi, who asks him to come to his home as soon as possible, saying that he has something to discuss with Jiang Luo.

Jiang Luo took a taxi to Chen Pi’s home and was greeted with a warm welcome as soon as he entered. Chen Pi, who had never been plain with his original body, was very enthusiastic this time, caring for Jiang Luo’s daily meals after he had finished his study competition.

Jiang Luo was kept until the evening before Chen Pi let him go, urging him earnestly before leaving, “Make sure you have time tomorrow.”

Jiang Luo, suspicious, smiled serenely, “Yes, I know.”

It was getting late so Chen Pi lent Jiang Luo a car so that Jiang Luo could return to school early. Jiang Luo was too drunk to drive and did not want to bother Chen Pi’s family. When he drove the car to the side of the road, he sat on the passenger side and called a chauffeur.

The valet came quickly, got into the driver’s seat in silence and started the car before asking, “Where are the guests going?”

Jiang Luo’s eyes narrowed and he yawned softly, ” Bai Hua University.”

He raided the boot inside the car and was lucky enough to find an unopened packet of cigarettes and a lighter. Jiang Luo raises the corner of his mouth and happily lights up a cigarette.

The valet laughed and said, “Smoke in the car and if anything happens, the whole car will explode.”

His voice got lower and lower, his smile more pronounced, his low voice fondling over one’s ears, “Boom – pulverized.”

Jiang Luo pauses, clutching his cigarette and glancing at the chauffeur in the smoke, and sees a pair of malicious, abyssal eyes.
