Chapter 89 – Bixian

“Did they find the cause of death?” Zhang Hui was still a little scared, and turned his gaze at the dormitory’s know-it-all Zhou Keyu.

Since a person died on the fourth floor, the washroom door had been cordoned off. Even if it wasn’t sealed, they would not have the courage to enter.

Zhou Keyu wasn’t a superstitious person. He nibbled an apple while playing with the mobile phone. Shaking his legs, he indifferently stated, “Reportedly, it was a sudden death.”

“Sudden death? He was in perfectly good condition, how could it be a sudden death?” Zhang Hui was somewhat suspicious, he slumped his body on the bed and stretched his head out.

“I don’t know, that’s what everyone said. It seems that he saw something horrible before he died, or was stimulated by something, and then suddenly suffered a myocardial infarction, and in the end died suddenly.” Zhou Keyu took another bite of the apple.

“So it’s not homicide or suicide?” The person next to him proceeded to ask.

“Anyway, the police have tentatively determined that it was an accidental death.”

Xiao Chen sat on a chair with a dazed face, listening to the conversations of others in the dorm.

Nobody knew.

He was, for the most part, the last person the deceased saw before he died.

Thinking of this, Xiao Chen’s head roared.

Hearing it was a sudden death, his mood improved a tiny bit, but his mood still remained extremely low.

Zhang Hui thought that he had not recovered from the fright after the calamity that happened yesterday night, and without asking, thought that it would be better for Xiao Chen to be alone in the quiet.

“Hey, brothers, don’t you want to be in a relationship?” Chen Liu, a diaosi who had been laying in bed and playing with his mobile phone, sat up and shouted excitedly.

His face was also flushed, as if he was stirred up.

The group of people, originally still chatting about gossip, immediately were attracted by his words. Their eyes lit up, shining just like an owl’s at night.

After all, male dorm 404, six men, six singles, and even more than half of them have been single since birth, how could they not be stirred up hearing this kind of news?

“Liu-zi, what do you mean, hurry up and say it clearly.” Zhou Keyu reacted the fastest, suddenly getting up and pouncing on it.

Chen Liu lowly laughed twice, raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile, “I got to know a female junior in our school. Their dorms are all single dogs. I looked at their photos and they all looked pretty good.”

“Wow.” The group of single men instantly exclaimed.

“Fuck, what else is there to ask! Hurry, quickly!”

“Schedule, schedule! Hurry and schedule!”

Chen Liu giggled twice, immediately picked up the phone and tapped the screen.

At once, everyone clapped their hands to express their excitement.

Yuan Daqiang had someone in his heart, and hesitated.

When Chen Liu saw this traitor, he laughed twice and elbowed Yuan Daqiang. The entire dorm could hear his voice saying, “He, I heard that Li Yewen is also in this dorm!”

Yuan Daqiang’s eyes widened, “Fuck, you didn’t say that earlier! Damn!”

Chen Liu laughed more obviously, and Yang Sheng loudly added, “By the way! The time is tonight! Just at the William Castle not far from the school, let’s party!”

When the boys heard it, they stared left and right and saw each other’s oily heads, stubble and big underpants.

After dragging their feet, they each suddenly began to dress up.

Especially Yuan Daqiang, who actually went to another dorm to borrow any perfume.

Xiao Chen was not in a good mood. He sat alone on a desktop, depressed, tapping his finger on the table again and again.

Chen Liu went up with a cheerful expression, and laughingly said, “Xiao Chen, don’t mourn, brother will take you to see beauties. I guarantee your good mood!”

Xiao Chen wanted to shake his head and suddenly realized that if he didn’t go, this group of people would undoubtedly not return in the evening, and he would be left all by himself in the dormitory.

He paused, and paused, hesitating again and again, then finally nodded, “That’s alright.”

Shadow’s emotions began to be a little gloomy.

The dormitory lamp shone on the corner of the table, and the shadow finally fell on Xiao Chen’s lap. The shadow took the opportunity to hook onto Xiao Chen’s ankle.

Just as Chen Liu laid back on the bed, he felt an indescribable burst of cold in his heart, like he was wrapped in something dark and eerie. It began to spread through his whole body from the soles of his feet, making him inexplicably tremble.

“Damn, why is it so cold today, the weather forecast definitely said the temperature is quite high!” Chen Liu couldn’t endure it and right away cursed in a low voice.

Keke.

Ah.

Nightfall.

The crescent moon hung up on the quiet and lonely sky.

Music, good food, beer, card games&#k2026;

Six men and six women.

Compared with everyone who have already started to have fun, Xiao Chen was much quieter.

He didn’t sing, didn’t drink, and didn’t even take a few bites of the snacks, he just sat quietly in his seat. That alone gave off the feeling of an ineffable temperament, untouched by worldly matters, which was very eye-catching.

Especially with the swaying coloured lights shining on him, indistinctly bright, his outline was completely solid, and hisfacial features were delicate.

Zhou Yanyao, who had been watching him from the side for a long time, couldn’t hold back. She had no resistance to this kind of male appearance, all her previous boyfriends were of this type.

Zhou Yanyao looked neat and tidy, appeared to be completely pretty and innocent, and smiled even more sweetly. Very few boys could refuse this one.

Zhou Yanyao has always been very direct when it came to her feelings, and she directly walked over to sit beside Xiao Chen.

“Hello, I’m Zhou Yanyao.” The girl tucked stray hair behind her ears, revealing a sweet smile.

Xiao Chen came back to himself, glanced at her, said nothing, and nodded, indicating that he knew.

The shadow hid in a dark corner and gave a dark and sinister sneer.

Keke.

The girl was a little embarrassed to see that the other party didn’t want to pay attention to her interest.

Just as wanted to say something to ease the atmosphere, Zhou Keyu next to him suddenly raised his voice, “Hey everyone, let’s play Bixian.”

A few brothers from dorm 404 rolled their eyes, especially Yuan Daqiang, who was somewhat angry that he mentioned this and didn’t want to pay attention to him at all.

Before they could veto it, the girls beside them became a little excited.

Yuan Daiqiang’s goddess Li Yewen answered directly, “Okay.”

Okay, this time they can’t not play now.

Xiao Chen pursed his lips, not knowing what was in his mind, and broke out in cold sweat.

He pulled out a strained smile and said, “No thanks, you play, I’ll just watch.”

The shadow hugged Xiao Chen in his arms, rubbed his hair, and felt the other’s body temperature.

In the dim environment, he was even able to see the fine hair on the other’s skin crystal clear.

Ah, really good looking.

No one forced him, because the girl was unfamiliar, and just because they understood the boy’s character.

The remaining few became restless.

Xiao Chen’s brain started to slacken again, not knowing what he was thinking, and sinking into layer upon layer of memories.

“Gu Luming, stay away from me.” Xiao Chen walked forward with his head down, listening to the sound of footsteps closely following along with his own, and could not help turning back, shouting towards the person who followed him.

The latter showed a bright smile, his mouth wide and his footsteps light.

He did not feel the slightest bit unhappy because of the other party’s refusal. He was even secretly delighted because the other party shouted his name. You could almost use the words “delusional” to describe him.

Xiao Chen was a little frustrated, and had to continue walking forward, the person behind him continued to closely follow his footsteps.

After a while, Xiao Chen stopped again. He gritted his teeth, furious and exasperated, and said, “I’m saying it for the last time, you really must not follow me, you stay far away from me.”

Gu Luming stood at the same place, even if Xiao Chen showed his anger and said something unpleasant, as long as Xiao Chen looked at him for a moment, he absolutely would show a big smile.

Xiao Chen wrinkled his nose, the rims of his eyes red. He directly crouched on the ground and started to cry, falling apart and saying, “You don’t want to die!”

Xiao Chen’s life was very hard, particularly for the people around him. It seemed that as long as they were a little close to him and treated him a bit better, they would die.

His mom and dad, friends, even little cats and dogs were all killed by him.

His isolation was never due to his character, but his own protective shell.

He was afraid of hurting the people he loved, so he was willing to stay away.

Gu Luming walked to Xiao Chen’s side, his heart aching. He crouched down and tilted his head to look at Xiao Chen’s expression, grey eyes exposed. Under the sun, they seemed to be shining, sparkling like gems.

He stretched out his hand to grab Xiao Chen’s hand, but was fiercely thrown off by the other party. He was not discouraged. He repeatedly held it, went back and forth several times, and finally Xiao Chen gave up the struggle and let the other party hold his hand.

Gu Luming squinted, his eyes could not hide his satisfaction and greed. The corner of his mouth ticked up, and he said in a deep voice, “I am not afraid.”

Compared to death, he was more afraid that he could not be with Xiao Chen.

This person is his light.

Xiao Chen choked, almost speechless, he took two breaths, and his soft voice finally spoke, “But I’m afraid.”

Gu Luming was the best person and treated him the best for so long, he absolutely couldn’t let him die.

Xiao Chen’s voice was so small, so small that it seemed that a mosquito was buzzing, but Gu Luming’s whole body’s attention was on Xiao Chen, how could he not hear clearly.

Gu Luming’s eyes lit up, as if he heard something inconceivable. He opened his mouth, closed it again, seeming to be a little speechless and stuttered.

He hesitated for a good moment.

He could only move closer, stiffly grabbing Xiao Chen’s body and holding him in his embrace, somewhat stuttering and bashfully saying, “I will not die, I will always protect you.”

Even if I die, I will protect you.

Xiao Chen paused, and then cried more ferociously, tears flowed down like they were free.

Then he paused, tentatively put his hands behind and embraced the other’s waist, buried his head in the other’s arms, and cried louder.

The boy’s grey eyes gleamed, a strange light flashed in his eyes, his expression was a nightmare he could not hide.

I’m so happy that you can’t bear to part with me.

I’m yours.

Xiao Chen withdrew himself from his memories.

The person next to him had long since pulled out a lot of candles from the small corner of the room, placed them on the floor, and lit them on fire.

Zhou Keyu turned off the music, turned off the lights, and the surroundings darkened instantly.

The crowd sat directly on the floor and formed a circle.

The candlelight swayed from side to side, up and down, shadows hitting the ceiling and becoming somewhat distorted.

Unknowing of where it came from, wind blew up everyone’s hair and clothes, making them shiver.

Although the girls said that they were curious, they always had less courage in matters of the supernatural. When they lit the candles, they held each other and cowered, but their expressions were very excited, which could be regarded as very contradictory.

Zhou Keyu suddenly showed a wicked smile, in a mood to assist, and jokingly said, “It’s better to do it like this, pairs of two, one man and one woman. It’s more exciting to play like this.”

This party was originally to find a relationship. When Zhou Keyu said this, no one would refuse.

Zhou Yanyao lowered her head shyly and said with a red face, “Then wouldn’t I be leftover?”

Zhou Keyu can also be regarded as an experienced person, and instantly understood the other’s meaning.

If you really want to play, how could there be extra? At worst, they would play twice. But she said so, isn’t it (because) she took interest in Xiao Chen, the only one not playing?

The candle’s flame swayed more fiercely, and everyone in the room looked a little gloomy, half their face in the dim light and half their face in the dark.

Zhou Keyu hesitated again and again, and then shouted, “Xiao Chen, come and play for a round, just give everyone face.”

Ah.

(They) didn’t know who let out a bitter laugh.

As soon as Zhou Keyu finished speaking, he shivered all over his body, and his heart seemed to be pricked by something, somewhat stinging, and from head to toe he was ice-cold.

Xiao Chen let out a breath and sighed, seeing everyone staring at him all together, and had not choice but to go.

“OK then.”

Ah.

The author has something to say: If you like me, don’t forget to pay attention to my special column and advanced collection.

Mwa mwa chu.

In other words, a good amount of darlings don’t know that the Ferrari in Chapter 84 is on my Weibo, remember to look! ! !

Author: Shen Weihuang

[Host Gong] God-given fate, system matchmaker

1.

Zhou Jiqing and Nie Miao met for the first time on the top floor of “K”.

The rich and expensive presidential suite, the luxurious and extravagant red carpet, and a person set on fire by a certain medicine … Nie Miao.

At that time, Nie Miao with red eyes, like a frightened rabbit, rushed out of the suite next door and rushed into Zhou Jiqing’s embrace, who had just become the richest man.

Zhou Zhiqing tore apart Nie Miao and said with extreme disgust: Get out! Die gay!

Nie Miao: ? ? ?

Later

Zhou Zhiqing took thirty-six car bodyguards, surrounded Nie Miao’s family, carried 108 baskets of cash from the car, and carried them into Nie Miao’s house one by one. When all the neighbours thought they were going to propose, he threw down a contract

—Entrusted Operations and Management Agreement—

“These are deposits. As long as you manage my company well and don’t let me go bankrupt, money is not a problem.”

Nie Miao (laughs): You have to change this agreement into a prenuptial agreement.

[I evaded beauty and saw through acting, but I was forced to bend by Overbearing CEO Nie Miao’s total strength! ]

2.

Zhou Jiqing, relying on his lofty spirit, would not bend for five pecks of rice all his life. He is determined to only paint mountains and rivers, not figures.

But he had the next life. In the next life, his waist was so bent, and he drank kidney medicine every day.

Matchmaker System α: Warning, warning, Nie Miao received a figure painting of himself from the protagonist! Learning that Nie Miao might become an apricot tree leaning over the wall, asking the host to strangle it in the cradle!

Zhou Jiqing forcibly shut down the system and pressed Nie Miao on a huge canvas, fierce and embarrassed: no other people’s paintings are allowed!

Nie Miao: What did you give?

“Don’t think about it!”

[It is impossible to give. Holding your hand, it’s possible to draw together. ]

Hello! I’m uhimgood, I go by Good, and thank you for reading this chapter! If you notice any typos, feel free to ping me @uhimgood#9675 on discord or comment.

This is my third project so far, first on this site, the other two are temporarily on hiatus until we get more info on the current situation. I tend to be a little inconsistent with my translation style, forgive me! I will be updating this project once a week on Sundays, until I finish stockpiling. At that point, I will start updating every 3 days, look forward to it 😛

Also I translated this almost entirely to the sound of Astoria (the album) by Marianas Trench on loop! A childhood artist, but they’re really good. Stay safe out there!
