Cen Yu was not a fool, so he could certainly feel the undercurrent between Pei Hengyun and He Yongning.
It stands to reason that these two people used to be at the same table, and together with the protagonist Gong Shou, when they spoke, it didn't sound like there were any weird words, but it made Cen Yu feel like -
He Yongning was targeting Pei Hengyun's feelings.
"Where are the others?" Cen Yu asked He Yongning.
"Let's go back first." He Yongning said, "There are only a few of us left who said we want to come and hang out."
He looked at Pei Hengyun, "Would you like to go play basketball now?"
"I kinda miss your skills."
Pei Hengyun just smiled, but did not respond to He Yongning's words... He turned to look at Cen Yu, the expression on his face was much more sincere.
"Let's go down first." He said to Cen Yu with some fear.
"...I feel like it's a little spooky here."
Cen Yu started his rhetoric again, "I said, there are no ghosts in the world, they are all fake!"
He Yongning seemed to be attracted by his words, "Really? Do you really think there are no ghosts in this world?"
"Of course not!" Cen Yu said immediately.
"The one in the live broadcast room?"
"It's all due to the program." After Cen Yu finished speaking, he looked at He Yongning, "Have you gone to watch my live broadcast replay?"
"Yeah." He Yongning didn't shy away. He looked at Cen Yu and Pei Hengyun in front of him, "I just looked at the one closest to the haunted villa."
"What was that thing that appeared last?" He Yongning looked at Cen Yu. His eyes were very dark and his eyes were full of inquiry.
"I can feel that there was an accident during the live broadcast."
"So what was the last thing that came out? A human? Or something else?"
What else could it be? Of course it’s a ghost! Cen Yu rolled his eyes at He Yongning in his head.
This thing is not something you can tell at first glance.
But in order to maintain his character, he calmly said to He Yongning, "He is a human being."
"The homeless man I found."
"..." He Yongning frowned, as if he didn't expect Cen Yu to be so unsophisticated.
Pei Hengyun on the side laughed, "That's what Xiaoyu is like." He said to He Yongning, "He never believes in the existence of ghosts."
"Confirmed atheist."
After Pei Hengyun's reminder, Cen Yu suddenly discovered something.
In the original book, he has always been a staunch atheist. No matter what strange things he encounters, he can always come up with a set of scientific explanations that he does not believe in.
It wasn't until after entering the class reunion that maybe he really realized the existence of this "ghost", so he was so frightened that night that he panicked, locked Pei Hengjun in the room, and then ran away alone——
By the time he was discovered, he had already been killed by the "ghost".
But I clearly had just entered this village, and I had already been harassed three times by that damn ghost hand... Why wasn't this plot in the original book?
Even if it’s a plot BUG, is it too much? !
etc……
Cen Yu suddenly came up with a possibility in his heart, but he could only wait until the next time the ghost hand appeared to verify it.
At this time, several people had already heard Jiang Tuan calling their names from downstairs. After realizing that Jiang Tuan had borrowed the basketball, Cen Yu and others decided to leave the classroom first.
He Yongning walked in the front, followed by Cen Yu and Pei Hengyun walking side by side.
Pei Hengyun was still chatting with Cen Yu about tomorrow's arrangements, and then they walked to the corner of the stairs... Because the stairs were not very spacious, Cen Yu slowed down a little and walked behind Pei Hengyun.
The change happened at this time.
At this time, He Yongning had already reached the corner of the stairs, while Pei Hengyun happened to only reach the middle of the stairs, and Cen Yu had just come downstairs...
Cen Yu tapped the handrail beside him with his fingers and looked at himself in the mirror at the corner of the stairs. He felt that if this thing were placed here, it would scare half of the students studying in the evening to death.
He looked at himself in the mirror and suddenly realized something was wrong.
Why does he feel like he is smiling at him in the mirror?
Cen Yu frowned and subconsciously touched his face, only to find that he didn't move at all in the mirror and was just smiling at him.
not good!
Cen Yu immediately realized that the "ghost" had appeared!
Just as he was about to remind Pei Hengyun in front of him not to look in the mirror, he realized that after seeing himself smiling in the mirror, Pei Hengyun started laughing too... He opened his mouth as if to call out Cen Yu's name.
Just looking at myself smiling in the mirror, blood suddenly overflowed from the corners of my eyes. The next second, my whole body turned into an extremely terrifying ghost, and then I roared and tried to get out of the mirror!
Being killed by such a jump, even though Cen Yu had already had a premonition, he was still so frightened that he almost missed the step until his hand that had been on the armrest immediately tightened his grip, preventing him from missing the step.
But Pei Hengyun was not so lucky... He was originally frightened when he was walking in the middle of the stairs, not to mention that the ghostly figure in the mirror was clearly his image. He barely had time to wait for Cen Yu to reach out, and the opponent had already stepped on the ground. Rolled down the stairs.
He Yongning, who was standing at the corner of the stairs, glanced at the mirror behind him, then immediately reached out and supported Pei Hengyun, who had rolled to the corner of the stairs.
Cen Yu quickly ran down the stairs, ready to see how injured Pei Hengyun was after falling at the corner of the stairs——
"...Xiaoyu..."
Pei Hengyun had some scratches on his face and arms, and he was so frightened that his face turned pale.
When Cen Yu just came over, he immediately hugged Cen Yu and buried his face in Cen Yu's arms, "...you just saw..."
His voice was trembling as he spoke, "...that thing..."
Pei Hengyun was obviously frightened, and his whole body was shaking when he spoke.
Cen Yu looked down at his ankles and found that Pei Hengyun's ankles had also turned red, perhaps because he had rolled down the stairs.
He reached out and touched it, and immediately heard Pei Hengyun's inhalation, which seemed to be in severe pain.
"It's twisted." After touching it for a while, Cen Yu immediately made a judgment.
"Jiang Tuan!" He shouted directly outside, "Do you have a health clinic here?"
Realizing that someone was injured, Jiang Tuan and Yu Sheng immediately came to the abandoned teaching building, and then saw Pei Hengyun squatting on the ground.
As soon as Jiang Tuan climbed up the stairs, he saw Pei Hengyun lying in Cen Yu's arms, his ankles were red, and it looked like he was the one who was injured.
However, he did not approach and show immediate concern. Instead, he glanced at He Yongning who was standing aside, "What is this?"
"I fell down the stairs and got twisted." Cen Yu said immediately without waiting for He Yongning to speak.
He squatted directly in front of Pei Hengyun, "Come up, I will carry you."
Pei Hengyun still had some tears on his face at this time, and he didn't know whether it was pain or fear, but after hearing Cen Yu's words, he immediately lay on the other person's back.
Cen Yu immediately picked him up on his back.
Unexpectedly, Pei Hengyun was lighter than he thought.
As locals who have lived here all year round, Jiang Tuan and Yu Sheng simply walked in front to lead the way for Cen Yu... Yu Sheng came over and looked at Cen Yu, "Do you need me to help you?"
Cen Yu shook his head and glanced at Jiang Tuan, who was hurriedly walking at the front.
No, shouldn't Jiang Tuan be anxious to carry Pei Hengyun at this time?
He Yongning patted the ashes on his knees. He looked at the backs of the people leaving and said, "Escaped."
He knew that Pei Hengyun would never play basketball with them honestly. Although he didn't know what the problem was for the time being, Pei Hengyun's performance was indeed completely different from what he remembered...
He glanced at himself in the broken mirror.
Are there really such coincidences in the world?
