I slept deeply and soundly, not caring whether it was Wang Yan or Wang Xue; I had already dealt with the Blood Bun situation.
In my dreams, I still heard the familiar sounds of hooves and the clash of battle, along with the heart-wrenching cries that I had grown accustomed to.
When I finally woke up, it was already nine-thirty in the morning. After a quick wash, I stepped outside and opened the door to the café. Although there were hardly any customers at this hour, I had to take my business seriously now that I was considered a businessman.
As I opened the door, I saw a woman in a white dress standing outside. I paused for a moment, then realized it was Liu Yiyi.
My mood instantly brightened. "Hey, beautiful Liu, what are you doing standing at my door?"
Liu Yiyi shot me a glare and said, "What do you think? Of course I'm here to get something to drink. I've been waiting for you for twenty minutes! You really can sleep!"
"Ah?" I was slightly touched by her words. "Come in, come in! You could have knocked or called me."
"I know you were exhausted last night. Zhou Ruyun called me and told me how capable you are; you handled everything well. I figured you'd be back late, so I didn't want to wake you," Liu Yiyi said casually as she walked over to a window seat and sat down.
Hearing this made me feel quite fond of her; she truly understood me. I prepared a cup of tea and brought it to Liu Yiyi, asking if she had eaten yet.
She had already eaten but could still go for a little more.
I stepped out to buy two servings of exquisite breakfast. When I returned to the café, we ate together while I recounted the entire Blood Bun incident.
As I finished, Liu Yiyi looked at me in surprise. "What about Wang Yan? Is she in any danger?"
I shook my head. "I don't know. But on another note, this might actually be a good thing. Wang Xue is also a pitiful person; now that she can merge with Wang Yan and continue living, it's somewhat of a compensation. Plus, after their fusion, I believe this woman will achieve great things in the future."
Liu Yiyi nodded seriously, her beautiful face reflecting concern. She looked at me and said, "Song Fei, do you think I should recruit her to work at my company? I really think she could be talented!"
"Come on," I replied helplessly as I looked at Liu Yiyi. "You're just a student like me and a stunning beauty at that; why are your thoughts so mercenary? All you think about is making money."
Liu Yiyi laughed joyfully, tapping on the table. "You have no idea! After my last collaboration with Chen Fang fell through, I directly acquired another herbal health product company for fifteen million! And let me tell you, even before I've started preparing for an IPO, there are already many investors wanting to buy in at high prices. That fifteen million acquisition has appreciated at least tenfold! I've realized I'm quite business-savvy."
"Tenfold... one hundred fifty million?" I wiped my lips and felt like crying. "Alright then, beauty; you're indeed impressive. Unlike me, who has risked my life countless times and still can't afford a single talisman!"
Liu Yiyi continued to smile, "So, why don't you close the coffee shop and come work for me at my company?"
"No way! I won't be your subordinate." I immediately refused, joking that I might still have a chance to get close to Liu Yiyi, this super-rich woman. If I became her employee, that hope would be lost.
We exchanged a few more words.
Liu Yiyi glanced at the time and said, "Alright, I just wanted to express my gratitude."
"Well, forget about the gratitude; just don't forget your promise," I chuckled.
"What promise?"
"Come on, the trip!" I protested immediately. I had always remembered Liu Yiyi's promise regarding that matter.
Upon hearing this, Liu Yiyi covered her mouth and laughed. She stood up and said, "Okay, I won't forget. By the way, how did your conversation with Professor Zhao Jian go? Did you find out the meaning of that jade pendant?"
"Uh..." I wasn't sure how to respond. After all, I didn't want to delve into matters concerning Zhao Jian; I didn't want to attract trouble.
Liu Yiyi looked at me curiously. "What's wrong? You didn't have an unpleasant encounter with Professor Zhao Jian, did you?"
I picked up my cup and took a sip of water to mask my inner turmoil.
Liu Yiyi smiled beautifully. "It must be true then. No wonder when I ran into Professor Zhao Jian this morning and mentioned you, he said he didn't know you. Hehe..."
"Pfft..."
I couldn't hold it in and accidentally sprayed tea onto Liu Yiyi's skirt.
Liu Yiyi was taken aback for a moment before she started patting her clothes.
I quickly stood up, wide-eyed and forgetting to apologize. "Yiyi, you're not joking with me, are you? You really ran into Professor Zhao Jian?"
"Yes... I'm Song Fei. Do you think I'm hot and want to give me a bath?" Liu Yiyi shook off the water from her skirt. However, after getting wet, it became somewhat transparent, especially since Liu Yiyi's skirt was made of some material that made it quite noticeable when damp.
I quickly handed a tissue to Liu Yiyi to help her wipe her clothes.
Liu Yiyi swatted my hand away, saying, "Don't touch me like that."
"Ah?" I immediately stopped, not daring to help her anymore.
Liu Yiyi took the tissue herself and wiped off the water. She shot me a glare and said, "Are you trying to be like Huo Jianhua, spraying water everywhere?"
I chuckled awkwardly, "Yiyi, I just want to confirm once more, what you saw was really Professor Zhao Jian."
"My eyesight is perfectly fine!" Liu Yiyi replied. Then she glanced down and muttered, "This skirt is so ugly, it's practically see-through. Get me a jacket to cover up."
I nodded and went inside to grab a light jacket, handing it to Liu Yiyi.
She put it on and used part of it to cover her chest.
"Hey! What are you two doing?"
A loud voice called from the doorway.
I turned to see Chi Xiang standing there.
Chi Xiang was holding a bag of beer and looked at Liu Yiyi and me in disbelief.
Liu Yiyi nodded at Chi Xiang and said, "Hey, Chi Xiang, you guys chat. I have to go." With that, she hurriedly walked out of the café in her high heels.
"Beast!" Chi Xiang rushed over and grabbed my neck, causing the beer in his hand to drop and spill all over the floor.
I quickly said, "Brother Xiang, let go! Let me explain."
"Explain what? Damn it! When did this happen? How come Liu Yiyi spent the night here with you? No wonder my neck has been hurting lately; it must be from wearing this green hat!" Chi Xiang's breath reeked of garlic as he kept spitting words at me.
I pushed Chi Xiang away and said, "First of all, Liu Yiyi just came to see me; she didn't spend the night here. Second, even if she did stay over, you wouldn't be wearing that green hat. Third, stop playing games so much; your neck wouldn't hurt then!"
Chi Xiang bit his lip and slammed the table repeatedly. "I'm so furious! How could you steal my goddess from me? She didn't even spend the night here, yet she took your jacket. My heart..."
I didn't have time to deal with Chi Xiang's antics. "Chi Xiang, I have something important to take care of. I'm not joking; we'll talk later tonight." With that, I started packing my backpack, grabbing various talismans and tools, along with my handgun, and headed towards the school.
Noticing my serious expression, Chi Xiang asked, "What's wrong, Song Fei? Is someone trying to assassinate Liu Yiyi? Even though you’ve tarnished my goddess’s reputation, I’ll still help when it comes to her safety."
I shook my head. "Something feels off. Damn it! Chi Xiang, you should head back to the dorm. I need to check the situation first." With that, I ran towards Zhao Jian's office.
The more I ran, the colder my heart felt—it was as if it were freezing over!
A person who was already dead, someone I had clearly seen turn into a tomb zombie—how could they suddenly reappear? Was the previous Zhao Jian just a fake? Was Liu Yiyi seeing things?
My mind was filled with questions as I dashed into the office area of the History Department...
