Rebirth: Ghost Exorciser

1473 Something Happened to Zhen Yu
When Chi Shuyan returned to class and saw her peers again, she was a bit rueful, and her turbulent emotions settled slightly. There weren’t many people in the class whom she was close to – it was mainly Zhen Yu and Yang Lan, whom she had once been dorm mates with. Having lived two lifetimes, Chi Shuyan really couldn’t mix in with these youngsters, their cliques, and their naive chatter.

Of course, Chi Shuyan didn’t know that she was a famous ‘aloof’ beauty in class. She usually wasn’t willing to talk to the others, didn’t say much, and never put herself out there. She had a very ‘aloof’ character. Everyone was around the same age, so since she didn’t put herself out there, the others naturally didn’t plan to disturb her.

So, most of the people in class just looked at her curiously. There were very few who greeted her and took the initiative to speak to her.

At most, they were curious about how she could take leave so often.

There was no lack of strange looks and gossip!

She wasn’t truly a naive 19-year-old student to begin with. Chi Shuyan never cared about the gossip and strange gazes. At most, she ignored them.

It was fine as long as no one was blind enough to provoke her.

Because Chi Shuyan was good-looking, there were still many boys who paid attention to her. At this age, however, everyone was still a little inexperienced and didn’t dare be so forward. They only dared to whisper a few words to Chi Shuyan.

So, after Chi Shuyan said a few words to the boys, it wasn’t long before the seats around her emptied out.

Chi Shuyan really wasn’t that friendly by nature. She personally liked the quiet, but when she sat down, she subconsciously glanced at Zhen Yu’s seat. Seeing that it was empty, Chi Shuyan thought that Zhen Yu had probably been delayed by something this morning, and she didn’t think much of it.

But Zhen Yu was absent all through the four classes in the morning. Not only that, Yang Lan was absent as well; only these two seats in class were empty.

Chi Shuyan was very puzzled. Could it be that both of them had something on and had taken leave?

Chi Shuyan didn’t care about Yang Lan, but she couldn’t help but care about Zhen Yu. Class was about to end, and Chi Shuyan couldn’t wait. For the first time, she took the initiative to talk to the person next to her. He was a slightly meek and very quiet fatty who wore glasses. This fatty’s surname was Gong, and he probably came from a good family. He was quite big, and there were several thick layers of fat under his chin. It was just that he was very meek and had low self-esteem, and was called ‘Big Fatty.’

He would usually immediately help out anyone in class who needed it, but it never got to the point of bullying him. At most, other people would just order him around and take advantage of him.

‘Big Fatty’ had become her deskmate after a later seat shuffle in class. At that time, she had been busy with other things, so she never spoke to this deskmate or asked for his name.

However, what left a deep impression on Chi Shuyan was that this fat student was too cowardly. Once, she even saw junior high school students extort money out of this kid.

Logically speaking, given this student’s weight, it would be very easy for him to knock down these brats, but he stood there obediently and let them extort him, his face deathly pale.

Only after those brats left did he leave on unsteady feet.

After that incident, Chi Shuyan’s view of this fat student changed slightly.

The reason Chi Shuyan never talked to this classmate before this was because he was too quiet and his presence was too weak; sometimes, it felt like she didn’t have a deskmate at all.

This was the first time she had taken the initiative to talk to him. Chi Shuyan couldn’t think of his name for a moment, so she could use his nickname, like the rest of the class. However, to be polite and respectful, she still added the word “classmate.” Chi Shuyan asked, “Classmate Big Fatty, did Zhen Yu take leave recently? Do you know why?”

Big Fatty obviously didn’t expect Chi Shuyan to take the initiative to talk to him. His fat face flushed red, and Chi Shuyan was blinded by his bashful appearance.

The main reason was that Big Fatty’s features were all squeezed together, and it was hard to pick them out on his face. In addition, he was quite tall, so he looked very big. It was really too strange for such a tall, strong and big person to wear such a bashful expression. Nevertheless, there was a hint of honesty between his eyebrows.

Because he was too shy, Big Fatty scratched his ear and whispered, “Are… are you talking to me?”

This big man’s voice was even softer than hers.

Chi Shuyan: …

If it wasn’t for her good hearing, she really wouldn’t have been able to hear what this deskmate said. Chi Shuyan observed him again, and saw his face flush red as he ducked his head to look at the floor. He didn’t dare look in her direction at all. For a moment, Chi Shuyan regretted asking this deskmate about Zhen Yu. She could ask the classmate behind her. This was tiring.

However, Chi Shuyan knew very well that this deskmate was timid and sensitive. She didn’t want to make him feel bad, so she could only ask again, “Did Zhen Yu take leave recently? Do you know when she took leave? And why?”

Chi Shuyan originally thought that given her deskmate’s usual cowardice, it was useless to ask. Just as she was pondering if she should ask someone else, the other party suddenly stuttered weakly, “I… I know. The day after tomorrow, no… I mean, the day before yesterday, Zhen Yu took leave. As for why she took leave, you should go to the hospital to see her! She probably… isn’t doing well!”

After Big Fatty plucked up the courage to say all that, he immediately picked up the pen next to his book, pursed his lips, and started writing seriously.

It was as if their conversation hadn’t happened.

Although the other party’s voice was soft, Chi Shuyan had heard his words clearly, especially the last sentence. Her face changed slightly, and she subconsciously asked for the exact address of the hospital.

Big Fatty didn’t speak, but wrote it down on a slip of paper for her.

Chi Shuyan glanced at the address on the paper and memorized it. Her eyes swept over the deskmate next to her, and she thanked him. “Thank you!”

Big Fatty probably hadn’t expected Chi Shuyan to thank him. His face turned even redder and he panicked a little. He stared at his book even more seriously. After a while, he stuttered, “No… no need to thank me!”

Chi Shuyan was amused by her deskmate’s inexplicably nervous and honest appearance, but when she thought of how Zhen Yu was in the hospital, the smile on her lips faded a little and her right eyelid twitched. For some reason, she felt that something had happened to Zhen Yu this time because of Yang Lan.

However, Yang Lan was still dating Feng Qin. Logically speaking, retribution shouldn’t come so soon. Chi Shuyan really didn’t want Zhen Yu to block the disaster for Yang Lan.

Chi Shuyan couldn’t make many guesses at that moment. She took out her phone and snuck a look at the time. She listened in class for another ten minutes, and then the school bell rang.

The teacher for this class was an easygoing history teacher who didn’t keep the students back. As soon as class ended, Chi Shuyan didn’t think about eating lunch, and took a taxi to the hospital.

Chi Shuyan reached the hospital 20 minutes later. Her deskmate had given her the address of the hospital, but not Zhen Yu’s ward number. In any case, Chi Shuyan guessed that her deskmate only knew at most which hospital Zhen Yu was in, while only some close friends and relatives would know the exact ward number.

Chi Shuyan could only go to the front desk of the hospital to ask, but her luck was pretty good. She was about to go to the front desk, when she actually saw Yang Zhi, Zhen Yu’s boyfriend, at the elevator. He was holding something in his hand, and Chi Shuyan guessed that it was porridge.

She immediately walked over and patted Yang Zhi’s shoulder before the elevator doors opened, and asked, “Mr. Yang, do you still remember me?”

Yang Zhi was stunned. He didn’t expect to see Zhen Yu’s good friend here. Speaking of which, the two of them had only met a few times. Yang Zhi had always remembered her, mainly because Chi Shuyan was too good-looking and her temperament was too outstanding and unique, making her hard to forget. So, Yang Zhi was stunned for a moment before he immediately remembered who the young lady in front of him was.

Yang Zhi said in surprise, “It’s you? You’re Zhen Yu’s good friend?”

Yang Zhi had a very good impression of Chi Shuyan, so he gave her a rare smile. He looked quite happy and said, “Zhen Yu will definitely be very happy to see you!”

“Zhen Yu is in the hospital. What’s wrong with her?” Chi Shuyan couldn’t help but ask.
