Because it was not far from the school, we arrived at the apartment where Zhang Xiaofei rented downstairs in about twenty minutes.
"Classmate Wu Zhong, I'm home. Thank you so much tonight. You saved my life!"
She thanked me sincerely.
I answered half-jokingly and half-seriously.
"Senior Xiaofei, you don't need to be so polite. When you see my paper during the final exam marking, just give it a few extra points."
Because in universities, if the lecturers have graduate students under their names, they often ask them to help mark the examination papers of undergraduate students.
Zhang Xiaofei was stunned for a moment, then laughed.
"This won't work! One code equals one code. I won't give you any trouble when grading the test papers just because you saved me. But don't worry, if you are afraid that you won't do well in the exam, I can give you private tutoring lessons. Yo."
As he said that, he winked at me.
We both laughed.
…
After dealing with these things, I looked at my watch and saw that it was already four o'clock in the morning.
In two hours, it will be daybreak!
"There are so many things going on tonight. Old Duan, are you a disaster star? As soon as you came to Shencheng to find me, there were a lot of things."
I squinted at Duan Chen.
This idiot laughed loudly, put his arm around my neck, and fanned me with one hand.
"Don't slander me, Master Dao! It's obvious that you are Xiao Wu. You have a special destiny and have been causing these things since you were a child. How can you rely on me? Let's go, let's go back. I haven't seen Xiao Yuan for a long time. It’s such a fat bird, why would you miss it?”
…
Back to my house.
Open the door.
Quiet and dim.
It is estimated that Hu Xiaoyue and He Nan have already gone to bed, and Bai Renxin is probably playing games in the master bedroom - this old ghost from the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China suddenly developed unlimited enthusiasm for online games.
Only the open restaurant had lights on, and a bird that was so fat that it looked like a bird was pecking at a large braised carp on the table.
Who else could it be besides a fat guy like Madoka?
I said angrily.
"You're as fat as a ball, why don't you have extra meals and late-night snacks?"
The fat bird didn't even raise its head.
"Wu boy, what are you beeping about? I'm not bored of waiting for you, so I asked Xiaoyue to help me make a fish to eat when I had nothing to do. It took you so long to keep up with Duan Duan? You two can't be the same Let’s go to the business club to find a girl.”
Duan Chen was already shaking his head, opening his arms and walking towards Xiao Yuan.
"Hi, my bro~Long time no see, I miss you so much."
That look is really mean and deserves a beating!
Many years later, there was a popular TV series called "Crazy", and there was a person named Gao Qisheng in it. A very classic head-shaking and walking action was seen on a certain short video software, and it looked like this... so much so that I once wondered if the director knew Duan Chen?
Of course, it is only for a normal person like me to feel that I "deserve a beating".
It's not normal...
Seeing this action, Madoka suddenly became excited.
"Yo! This action is cool. As expected of our awesome duo."
The dead fat bird swallowed the whole fish, and then imitated Duan Chen at the dinner table, spreading its wings and walking over with its head shaking.
Then one person and one bird embraced each other affectionately.
I stood nearby with a black line on my head.
"……vomit!"
Early the next morning, I went to Xiuxing Company.
I told Zhao Zihao in detail that I had reached an agreement with a [living corpse] and asked it to find a way to go undercover.
He took this matter very seriously and immediately convened a high-level meeting of East China Show Stars.
This is also the first time that I have seen the management of East China Show Star. The number of people is much larger than that of South West Show Star - because they are all fully qualified.
Unlike Southwest Show Star, because it was founded later, the establishment was not full until I graduated from high school.
Lu Fangyue was naturally furious, pointing out that I was "just messing around"!
Now I am "experienced" in getting along with Lu Fangyue. He talks and sneers casually, but I pretend not to hear him. He tilted his head and picked his ears.
"Oh, Vice President Lu, your Mandarin is not very good. I can't hear what you are saying. If you are dissatisfied with this matter, you can talk to Mr. Zhao and the other big guys. If it doesn't work, just abolish it." It’s just a matter of not contacting each other.”
Lu Fangyue seemed to be even more angry when I looked so indifferent.
Of course I didn't really care, I just wanted to make him angry.
In short, after a discussion among all the management of East China Show Star, more than 70% of them agreed to my plan and granted me more permissions to keep in touch with Wang Feijie.
Finally, everyone discussed the recent situation in Shanghai and even the entire East China region. It seemed that since the last time that group of evil cultivators failed in their attempt to murder the last two Yin women, they had temporarily calmed down and stopped stirring up trouble.
For a moment, there was a brief sense of calm.
But I always feel uneasy in my heart, and there is a feeling that "the storm is coming, and the wind is filling the building", just like the calm before the storm...
Fortunately, in the following days, due to the addition of He Nan, a "temporary" member, and the addition of Duan Chen, a funny idiot, the family became more noisy - and I like this feeling, it is very happy.
Another week passed peacefully.
One afternoon.
Bai Renxin went back to the basement of the medical school to take care of her own business, and Duan Chen also ran out to drink and have fun with some new friends from Shanghai's supernatural circle. He Nan and I were the only ones left at home.
After a period of familiarity, she regained her lively personality.
"Wu Zhong, I'm a little hungry. I want to have afternoon tea."
"Order takeout yourself."
"But I'm afraid I'll gain weight."
"Then don't eat the quilt."
"...Hey, you are such a straight man. Why don't you know how to comfort girls? You just said that you won't gain weight after eating it. Or you can use your magic to prevent me from gaining weight."
I looked helpless.
Woman, what a trouble!
Just when I wanted to complain a few words, the door opened, and the two guys, Hu Xiaoyue and Xiaoyuan, went home happily.
As soon as he entered the door, Xiao Yuan, a fat bird, shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Boy Wu! Good news, our metaphysics studio is open. Our first customer has arrived!"
Hu Xiaoyue also seemed very happy.
"Yes, yes! Master, the large amount of money you invested is finally starting to pay off."
I was slightly startled.
Only then did I remember that these two guys had said before that they were a little bored and planned to open a "metaphysical studio" - which was actually to help people in need catch ghosts and eliminate demons and solve some supernatural worries.
It's probably similar to what we did with the two brothers Niubiniu Deheng when we were in Yucheng.
Basically, some spiritual practitioners who still have some need for money will engage in this profession.
In addition, Hu Xiaoyue said that if it is done, it can also become an "information station" for me to understand the folk supernatural circles in Shencheng - so I invested a sum of money and asked her and Xiao Yuan to handle this matter by themselves.
Just look for something to do to relieve your boredom.
Calculating, it's about two months.
I've been busy lately and not very short of money, so I forgot about this matter.
Unexpectedly, Hu Xiaoyue really got her involved and accepted the order?
Seeing each person and one bird looking so proud, I also praised them.
"Not bad, not bad! Amazing! Come on, Xiaoyue, sit down and talk."
Of course the dead fat bird flew to my shoulder and stood there. He Nan also came closer, looking like a curious baby. She is also very interested in these supernatural things.
Hu Xiaoyue told me.
"It was commissioned by a pretty girl. She said that she was originally an atheist, but recently something strange and unexplainable happened to her that scared her. She has not dared to sleep for several days. She happened to pass by today. Come in for a consultation at our metaphysics studio."
