After Ji Mingxia and Ye Chen walked through the courtyard and the boulevard, the two walked along the lakeside towards the dormitories.
Along the way, most of the dormitory buildings were dark, with only orange street lights illuminating the surroundings. Compared to the southern area that had hordes of students, there wasn’t a single person to be seen around here.
Between the blue waves of the lake, the autumn breeze blew with water vapor blowing, and the area was cool.
Ji Mingxia could not help but say to Ye Chen: “Does Ye Tian usually live like this?”
If he didn’t know that this was the northern area of H University, Ji Mingxia would have thought he’d come to an abandoned area in the suburbs.
It was so desolate and remote. To put it bluntly, a corpse could be thrown here and never be found.
Even a man like Ji Mingxia felt panic, let alone Ye Tian, a girl living alone in such a place. It was strange that she would have a sense of security.
Ye Chen also looked at his cold and desolate surroundings and felt that something was wrong: “It's usually not like this. I could see students moving around the last time I came……”
The surroundings were quiet, only the sound of Ye Chen and Ji Mingxia’s footsteps resonated back and forth.
After walking for a while, they finally reached their destination. Contrary to the front earlier areas, Ye Tian’s dormitory building was quite lively.
There were figures walking back and forth, so they must be the bodyguards patrolling.
The surrounding area was desolate, so let alone the arrival of two men, even a bird could attract attention. As soon as Ye Chen and Ji Mingxia appeared, those bodyguards quickly noticed them.
A figure came out of the dormitory and greeted Ye Chen and Ji Mingxia.
Ji Mingxia thought it was a bodyguard coming over, but when the person got closer, he found that the visitor was actually a middle-aged man.
As soon as he saw Ji Mingxia and Ye Chen, a smile appeared on the middle-aged man’s face, “Little Ye.”
“Uncle Zhang?” Ye Chen was a bit surprised when he saw the middle-aged man. He glanced at Uncle Zhang and then looked at the dormitory not far away and said, “Are my parents here?”
“Mm.” Uncle Zhang nodded and said, “When madam and sir heard about Miss’s accident, they immediately bought tickets to fly back and meet her before dark.”
“Then is Uncle Ding here?” Ye Chen asked again.
Uncle Zhang shook his head, then added: “But madam and sir invited Master Zheng.”
“Master Zheng?”
“Master Zheng is from Hong Kong and he happened to be free today, so sir and madam paid a high price to invite him. Master Zheng is well-known, he will definitely be able to help Miss.” Uncle Zhang said with relief.
Seeing that Ye Chen not only looked unhappy after hearing this, but also frowned slightly, Uncle Zhang immediately realized that he had spoken too much.
He hurriedly glanced at Ji Mingxia and changed the subject, “May I ask who this is ……”
Ye Chen’s attention was pulled back and he introduced Ji Mingxia, “His surname is Ji, his name is Mingxia, he is Ye Tian’s classmate and also my friend.”
“Ji Mingxia?” Uncle Zhang revited Ji Mingxia’s name for a moment. He felt that the name was familiar, as if he had heard it before somewhere.
“Hello.” Ji Mingxia said to Uncle Zhang.
“Hello, I am Old Zhang, the butler of the Ye family.” Uncle Zhang hurriedly bent slightly and said, “Apart from Mr. Ding, this is the first time I’ve seen Little Ye take the initiative to introduce a friend— I remember, isn’t Ji Mingxia the one Miss mentioned before, the one who saved her life?”
Uncle Zhang said, staring at Ye Chen with wide eyes.
Uncle Zhang’s reaction was quite big, and Ji Mingxia also looked at Ye Chen curiously.
Ye Chen’s face was expressionless, but on seeing that Uncle Zhang and Ji Mingxia both kept looking at him, Ye Chen sighed and finally said, “It’s windy outside, let’s go in and talk.”
“Yes, yes, please come in quickly.” Uncle Zhang said, leading Ji Mingxia and Ye Chen into Ye Tian’s dormitory.
The school slightly altered the dormitory because Ye Tian was moving in. A small courtyard was built outside the single villa. Uncle Zhang brought Ye Chen and Ji Mingxia into the courtyard, and then personally made tea for the two.
While handing the tea cups to Ji Mingxia and Ye Chen, Uncle Zhang explained, “Master Zheng is very particular when he practices. No one should walk around at will, let alone go upstairs and startle him, so as not to destroy the formation ……”
As he said, he looked at Ye Chen cautiously.
Ye Chen said in a solemn voice: “So did you move all the students that were around here?”
Uncle Zhang gave a dry smile, “Sir and madam paid for them to go downtown for a night of fun.”
“So why can’t I and Mingxia go up there now?”
“Master Zheng said that the results will come out around eight o’clock if it’s quick, for the sake of Miss’s health, Little Ye ……” Uncle Zhang looked at Ye Chen somewhat pleadingly.
Ye Chen saw Uncle Zhang pleading, and looked up at the dark dormitory, and finally said, “I’ll talk with Mingxia for a while, you go do with your business.”
Once Uncle Zhang heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and laughed, “Okay, okay, I won’t bother you guys, just call me if there’s anything.”
With that, Uncle Zhang put the kettle down, turned around and continued patrolling with the bodyguards.
Once they left, only Ji Mingxia and Ye Chen were left at the round table in the small courtyard.
Ye Chen saw that Ji Mingxia kept looking at him, and he said helplessly: “I’ve made you see a joke, my parents are businessmen and have always been very superstitious. Ever since I could remember, they have been firm advocates of feudal superstition, no matter what they do, they must consult and get the exact result before they can feel at ease.”
Ye Chen then looked at the dark, motionless dormitory building: “But I thought that they would invite Uncle Ding, I did not expect them to actually find a Hong Kong master ……”
Ye Chen frowned unconsciously, he was obviously very disapproving of this move.
“Are uncle and auntie Ding…… capable people?” Ji Mingxia inquired.
If he remembered correctly, the last time he and Ye Tian came back from the hospital, Ye Tian mentioned these two people, saying that it was under their guidance that Ye Tian came to H University.
“We are considered family friends with the Ding family. Uncle Ding and Aunt Ding are close friends with my parents, and I grew up with their only son, Ding Jialin, they are like family.” Ye Chen said, “Their occupation is very mysterious, as if they are specially recruited by the state at a research institute. As for whether they are capable or not ...... My parents have always told me that the Ding family is not simple, but since childhood, I have never seen them show any special ability.”
Ye Chen said, “To be honest, I have never believed in gods and monsters. The more superstitious my parents were, the greater my rebellious mentality. Although I haven’t been as rebellious as in my younger years, I believe in science some more.”
Ji Mingxia said, “So ……that’s why Uncle Zhang was so surprised when he saw me?”
Uncle Zhang had heard of Ji Mingxia’s name from Ye Tian, so he must have also heard of the elevator shock.
As soon as Ye Tian had an incident, Ye Chen hurriedly brought Ji Mingxia over.
In Uncle Zhang’s opinion, this was a sudden change in Ye Chen’s nature, not only did he believe Ye Tian’s words, but he even brought Ji Mingxia over so he was surprised.
“Yes.” Ye Chen said, and couldn’t help but smile to himself, “I don’t believe in ghosts, but now that something has happened to a loved one, I couldn’t help but be shaken. I invited you over, because of Ye Tian’s request, and also because I was thinking of a possibility…… what if there really were ghosts haunting her.”
Ji Mingxia smiled, and immediately understood.
The superstition of the Ye family’s parents caused Ye Chen’s rebellious mentality. In this regard, he always adhered to the opposite opinions of his parents.
But Ye Tian’s accident made Ye Chen waver.
He was now in a state of skepticism, unable to bite the bullet and go to his parents, but he also didn’t want to give up hope. So he strongly invited Ji Mingxia over so he could see what was going on.
Unexpectedly, they had just reached the dormitory when they found the large superstitious scene his parents had created. In order to give the Hong Kong master space, all the nearby students had been cleared.
Ye Chen looked at the scene, and the scales in his heart started tilting a little in the direction of science.
Ji Mingxia looked at Ye Chen’s tangled look, and could not help but think back to the moment when Ye Chen sent him a WeChat.
It was obviously a very simple conversation, yet Ye Chen paused between messages for a long time. Even the ‘typing” in the chatbox went on for a long time, so it was clear that he was fighting an inner battle.
At this point, Ye Chen suddenly said to Ji Mingxia: “Mingxia, do ghosts exist in this world?”
As soon as Ji Mingxia looked up, he saw Ye Chen staring at him with burning eyes, and sensing that this question might be important to Ye Chen, he said, “Science can prove the existence of the known, but it can’t prove the existence or non existence of the unknown…“
Ye Chen listened and thought about it for a few seconds before he understood what Ji Mingxia meant.
This was already implicitly telling him the answer.
“I understand.” Ye Chen said.
Ji Mingxia’s mind flashed through the various ghosts he had encountered over this period of time, as well as the various people. From the terrifying Lin Siyun, Song Yuelin and Meng Xinyi in the forest, to Zhou Tao in Banana Leaf Village, and the mysterious man behind the scenes.
Ji Mingxia couldn’t help but say, “Even if ghosts exist, there are also people in this world, and people are sometimes much more scarier than ghosts.”
“I strongly agree with that.” Ye Chen lost his smile.
He had seen all kinds of people in the business world, calculating to eat people without spitting out bones, each was like a jackal in human skin.
“Then Mingxia, what is a ghost like?” Ye Chen thought through and asked with curiosity.
Ji Mingxia thought for a while and simply told the scene when Ye Tian encountered a ghost in the library.
After accepting the truth, Ye Chen prepared himself for a frightening picture, but after listening to Ji Mingxia’s careful description of the scene inside the elevator, he still slightly paled.
Ye Chen’s face sank once he thought of how Ye Tian suffered without him knowing it: “According to what you said, ghosts will only find special people. Ye Tian is only a teenager, her life has just begun, she has never done anything bad, much less harmed anyone, so why would she become like this now.”
In this regard, Ji Mingxia was also very puzzled. Seeing that Ye Chen’s face was not very good, he hurriedly reassured him: “I'm still unsure about Ye Tian, let’s just wait and see what happens. The Hong Kong master is still upstairs.”
At Ji Mingxia’s reminder, Ye Chen hurriedly looked down at the table and found that the time had already passed eight o’clock, it was now nearly nine o’clock.
The dormitory building was still dark and surrounded by silence. If not for Uncle Zhang guarding at the bottom, Ye Chen would have even doubted whether there were people upstairs or not.
Realizing this, Ye Chen abruptly stood up: “Uncle Zhang, Uncle Zhang!”
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
