At 3 a.m., the landmines in front of the station

Haha, so please don't blame me, I really meant well. If you feel it's not suitable after you go, just turn around and leave immediately, I won't say anything, really. Oh right, I'll also treat you to ten meals.

"ill."

Su Che shook his head speechlessly.

Looking at him from left to right, I felt that my usually quiet roommate was unusually talkative today.

After all, his remarks were confusing; the idea of ​​simply treating someone to a meal and cultivating relationships with classmates couldn't justify such a motive.

As I was pondering whether something was wrong, I suddenly sensed something was amiss.

His subconscious made his body suddenly freeze.

The next instant, he suddenly turned around and looked back—

An empty corridor.

During class time,

There were no other figures on the corridor.

The window on the third floor is on the left.

"strangeness."

"What's wrong, buddy?"

Zhang Cong also looked in the direction behind him.

"It's nothing, I just feel like something is watching me, and my back doesn't feel very comfortable."

Su Che frowned and turned around, saying, "Maybe it's because I haven't been sleeping well lately and my nerves are too tense."

"Haha, I knew it! It's so boring being home alone, isn't it? Why not come live with me in the dorm? I may not be good at much else, but when it comes to humor, nobody can beat me. Also, I just got a new batch of butter..."

"..."

As the two walked downstairs, Su Che listened to his roommate's crickets chirping.

Knowing he was trying to change the subject, I didn't say much and decided to give him a way out.

Thinking back on it carefully, I really haven't gone back to my dorm room very often in these four years.

Even assuming the worst, all that equipment was on the bed, and to this day, not a single piece is missing; everything is in perfect condition.

Zhang Cong has done a very good job as a "guardian of the zither".

Otherwise, who would dare to leave valuables worth thousands or tens of thousands of yuan in their dorm room and not come back for weeks at a time?

therefore,

Considering this, Su Che decided to give his roommate some face before graduation.

Go take a look at that club or whatever it is.

Then, they "deliberately acted like they were bad at the game."

It's better to avoid trouble; a tactical retreat is fine.

He thought this to himself, but outwardly asked about the specific details.

"Oh, you've decided to go, right? Haha, that's great, buddy! I knew it, no one can resist the allure of Senior Yu Xi! Once you see her, you won't be able to resist! Haha."

"?"

Su Che glanced at him sideways and confirmed, "Her name is Yu tide?"

"Yes, yes, it's the joy of removing the left side of Yu, not the 'xi' in 'xixi'."

My roommate spoke with a smile, making the atmosphere even more cheerful.

"..."

Su Che silently kept it in mind, treating it as a minor, unexpected episode in his otherwise busy life.

"What about time?"

he asks.

"Time...time,"

Zhang Cong looked to the side, touched the oily skin on his nose, and said to Qianqiao:

"The last club activity has ended. If you want to find her, you'll probably have to go somewhere off-campus..."

Uh, if I remember correctly, the music department is organizing a team-building activity on Wednesday night. They said we'd be watching a live performance by the school next door at a bar on the back street...

When the time comes, just go directly to her. Don't mention I recommended you; just say you're applying to be a musician. I reckon she'll let you play a few notes… If you're unsure, you can prepare in advance.”

After his roommate finished speaking, a sliver of white light flashed across the dust mite-covered black-rimmed glasses, signaling the completion of a mission.

……

Chapter 29 Beheading

Tianhe Bay luxury apartments.

The spinning sound of the robot vacuum cleaner is almost negligible.

The noise from the elevator outside the door, exceeding the frequency band, was precisely transmitted into the dark mansion.

Gu Zhi, who had been standing silently in front of the French windows, froze.

His neck stiffened as he turned toward the living room entrance.

Beep beep, beep beep—

Click.

The smart lock was opened.

A middle-aged woman dressed in expensive designer clothes appeared in the far distance.

"Gu Zhi, come here."

The woman looks to be only in her early 30s; she is very well-maintained and her actual age is probably no more than 40.

She wore high heels, her legs were covered in stockings, and her alluring figure resembled that of a snake spirit. The makeup on her face was incredibly expensive.

With almost the simple act of taking off her shoes, an aura of decadent luxury emanated from her, causing the girl standing opposite her to frown deeply and feel extremely uncomfortable.

Physiological discomfort.

Gu Zhi did not move.

"Ha, you spendthrift girl, you're so capable of asking me for money, but you won't even help your mother carry something?"

Without me, you're destined to remain at the bottom of society, unable to even enjoy a decent life.

The woman gave her a sarcastic sneer, put down her luxury handbag, and strode into the dressing room.

"Mom, you're disgusting."

Gu Zhi watched the woman's retreating figure.

A cold, hard statement.

"Tsk."

Strangely, the woman didn't seem to mind such remarks at all.

Instead, she calmly walked to the double-door refrigerator, opened the handle, took out a bottle of Perrier, and stored the medical beauty products that needed to be refrigerated inside.

"Gu Zhi, you told me you need another 30,000 yuan. What do you want to buy?"

She took a sip, then returned to the sofa, tossing her perfume-scented wavy hair behind her shoulder.

He crossed his legs and slumped on the cushion, displaying none of the reserved demeanor one would expect when visiting someone's home.

"Buy a piano."

When the topic turned to business, Gu Zhi's face darkened and she moved to the other side of the sofa.

"Buy a piano? Didn't you just buy a similar one?"

"Have you learned anything from Xiao Su? All you do is buy, buy, buy, buy indiscriminately. My money doesn't grow on trees, can't you help me save some?"

Ms. Gu seemed quite dissatisfied with her daughter's request.

He cursed and swore while glaring at her with sharp eyes.

However, faced with Gu Zhi's unresponsive, icy face, as cold as a deep pool,

All Ms. Gu could sense from this was endless resentment and malice.

This feeling is quite uncomfortable.

One can imagine that even if he died in front of his daughter, she wouldn't even glance at him.

"Fine. You little slut, so self-righteous. Just keep acting like this. Once you graduate and enter the workforce, let's see which guy will even look at you. You really don't understand me at all."

As she spoke, Ms. Gu picked up her bag and reached in to pull out a thin card.

The next moment, with the force of throwing the playing cards, he tossed them to Gu Zhi:

"Take this and get out of here. This is the living allowance your dad gave you last month, exactly 30,000 yuan. Be careful with your purchases and don't waste money."

"."

Gu Zhi caught the bank card, her gaze shifting downwards.

His index fingers and thumbs trembled slightly as he gripped the edge of the card tightly.

"The password is the same as your own card. Oh right, your little sister is coming to see you next week. If you want money again in the future, be nicer to me, at least pretend to be enthusiastic, understand?"

Stop wearing that grumpy face all the time, acting like you're going to kill anyone you see.

After Ms. Gu finished speaking, she didn't linger.

He picked up his bag and headed back to the dressing room.

Looks like he's planning to get a new set of gear and meet up with some other fish tonight.
