CHAPTER 688: CHAPTER 548: GRAND EXORCIST (PART 2)

"How was it?"

On the dimly lit Zhennan Street, the night wind howled.

"Why?" Qianqian asked.

"Maybe you guys should go," Song Xiyun hesitated, "I have... a pile of test papers I haven’t finished."

"That’s not okay." Jiang Nian couldn’t hold back and felt he was being a bit abstract. "Anyway, it’s just a meal."

"Strange things mean something’s up." Qianqian affirmed.

Song Xiyun: "Indeed."

"Are you guys really seeing me like this?" Jiang Nian felt defeated, but the system task was right there.

"Who told you to act so suspiciously all the time?" Qianqian couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

But she thought for a moment and didn’t directly refuse.

"We’ll see."

"Alright." Jiang Nian didn’t get discouraged. Time was tight lately, but he should manage to schedule a meal.

Girls can be easily convinced; just bring it up a few more times.

He already had the pattern sorted out. He had precisely restored the whole design using the clues he found.

Everything is set, just need to [purchase].

"Hey, by the way," he skillfully changed the topic, "Do you know when the final exams are?"

"Next week, don’t know which day," Qianqian said casually.

Song Xiyun said, "Maybe Thursday."

"Actually, it’s..."

The trio chatted as they walked into the alley together.

....

"Bro, got rejected." Huang Caicai sighed.

Winter night, rooftop.

Yang Qiming sat on a stone block, holding a beer can. He sighed faintly upon hearing this.

"Failed again?"

Huang Caicai scratched his head, "I said Brother Yang wanted to meet you, she said she doesn’t date school electricians."

"Huh?"

Yang Qiming wasn’t too sad about being rejected, but hearing "school electrician" shattered him.

The string in his heart snapped.

"Cailang, do you think I still have a chance to find love?"

"You do!"

A powerful voice echoed from the rooftop.

"Brother Dong?"

"Haha, heard you from far away dreaming of love." Zeng You also came up, smiling as he looked at the two.

"This rooftop has been open all this time?" Wu Jungu wondered, looking around at the dark surroundings.

"You just found out?" Zeng You said, "I’ve seen other classes come up here many times, even fly planes."

Wu Jungu: "???"

"Why worry about not having a wife?" Lin Dong walked beside Yang Qiming, encouragingly patting his shoulder.

"Cheer up, when you go to college, there will be plenty of options."

Upon hearing this, Yang Qiming looked puzzled.

"Really?"

"Yeah, think about it," Lin Dong said, "After exams, old classmates know you well, new undergraduates are delightful."

Upon hearing this, Yang Qiming couldn’t help but perk up.

"Makes sense!"

A while later, they all returned to Lin Dong’s dormitory. They opened a few packs of instant noodles, got snacks and chicken feet.

With the flashlight on, it turned into a midnight feast.

Yang Qiming generously contributed a few cartons of beer he had stashed, boosting the feast to its peak.

Zeng You, being the laziest, lay on the bed eating.

Wu Jungu didn’t mind doing chores, so he helped Zeng You with the noodles. They shared a bit of hot water, barely eating their noodles.

"Actually, you should change the water after the first boil of instant noodles."

"Where do we get so much hot water?" Lin Dong asked.

"True."

"Why not just use beer for noodles?" Huang Caicai had a sudden idea, making the room fall silent.

"Amazing (x6)."

While eating, the group started chatting about upcoming finals and the arrival of winter break.

"During New Year, there’s always more booze than we can drink." Zeng You complained, "Seriously, where does all the booze come from?"

Everyone felt a connection upon hearing this.

"We even have parties for pregnancies," Huang Caicai said, "Can’t remember if it’s called a celebration or something; the feast is average."

"Isn’t that for weddings?" Lin Dong was puzzled.

"No idea."

At midnight, the chat went off and on. When someone mentioned gossip, the atmosphere heated up.

"Damn, Jiang Nian has such a good relationship with the girls."

"Better than good," Zeng You said exaggeratedly while drinking beer, "I thought our group had started dating early."

"Did they date?"

"No."

After a while, someone blurted out something.

"Even more absurd!"

The dorm fell silent; someone’s eyelids started drooping. After some washing up, they went to bed.

Yang Qiming was still chatting with Lin Dong, his voice getting lower.

Midnight.

Huang Caicai woke up, realizing he was hugging the bed rail in his sleep, looking around in surprise.

Huh? Still in someone else’s dorm?

Suddenly, there was a noise above him. Zeng You got out of bed for the bathroom and greeted Huang Caicai.

"Hey, you’re awake?"

"Yeah, where’s Brother Yang?" Huang Caicai felt the need to pee after drinking too much beer, "Did he go back first?"

"Probably."

Zeng You put on slippers, ready to go to the bathroom. Suddenly, he heard a sound from the bathroom and got puzzled.

He counted the dorm mates, none missing.

Is it Yang Qiming?

"Cailang, come here."

"What’s up?"

In the bathroom, Yang Qiming was a bit embarrassed. After being hit today, he couldn’t resist soberingly opening a site.

He got a bit carried away, headphones misconnected.

He wasn’t sure if Zeng You heard anything and didn’t want his reputation to be swept away, so he started sweating.

Suddenly, an idea struck.

Yang Qiming remembered dorm horror stories, thinking Zeng You repeatedly watched this stuff and might get scared.

So, he deliberately muttered in the bathroom.

Outside the door.

Zeng You and Huang Caicai exchanged glances, under the winter night’s moonlight seeing the shock in each other’s eyes.

"Who is Brother Yang talking to?"

"A girl." Zeng You mouthed the words, looking almost pale.

Huang Caicai also got scared, swallowed hard.

"What should we do?"

"Don’t panic, I have a plan." Zeng You remained resolute, quietly asking, "Cailang, are you a virgin?"

"Huh?"

In the bathroom.

Yang Qiming was twisting about, getting impatient with pretending to be possessed, considering increasing the effort.

byd, gotta scare Zeng You back into bed.

He clenched his voice and sang a small opera learned from his grandpa when he was young.

While humming, tears welled in his eyes.

He missed his grandpa.

But after waiting a while, no sound from outside the door. Yang Qiming thought Zeng You should have gone back to bed.

He touched his throat, unlocking the bathroom door.

The next second.

"Demon!! Reveal yourself!"

"Brother Yang!!"

Yang Qiming felt warm water splashing him in the face and, in brief suffocation, instinctively opened his mouth to breathe.

Once he understood what happened, it was already too late.

The whole dorm was awake...

It’s urine!

Yang Qiming couldn’t accept it, almost fainted. Luckily, Huang Caicai quickly helped him up, concerned.

"Bro, are you alright?"

Unable to accept this reality, Yang Qiming almost passed out. A group gathered around, forcing him to speak.

"Huh? What happened?"

.....

The next day.

"Hello hello!" Zhang Ningzhi energetically handed a small sandwich to Jiang Nian, "I can’t finish it."

Jiang Nian felt happy inside but maintained his face.

"Zhizhi, you have such a small appetite."

"Yeah, girls have little bird stomachs," Zhang Ningzhi said cutely, sitting down and starting to review test papers.

Jiang Nian ate while humming and thinking.

Are there little birds?

Just tiny bird stomachs!

Zhizhi baby, really makes me cold.

"Whoa?" Li Hua rushed in through the back door of the classroom, quickly grabbing, "Chi Shi, you damn self-eating!"

"Ugh ugh ugh!!" Jiang Nian spat on the sandwich.

Li Hua couldn’t hold back, "Damn, you’re shameless!"

And so, the sixth group formally gathered.

Zeng You mysteriously turned around, gave a glance at the three in the back and smiled mysteriously.

"You know, last night I did something awesome."

Jiang Nian swallowed a bite of the sandwich, "What?"

"Exorcised evil."
