Chapter 159

Qin Weiyi pulled Lu Jing a few steps toward the outside.

Li Xiting was dressed in a white blouse paired with a plaid miniskirt, her hair tied up in a high ponytail. She looked at the dormitory supervisor and asked, “Ma’am, what is it? Did something happen?”

The dormitory supervisor went inside, took a Hair Ribbon from the drawer of her desk, then returned to the doorway and handed it to Li Xiting. “This. Zhao Yingguo from your dorm left it with me. Help me bring it back to her.”

Li Xiting took the Hair Ribbon, her expression turning a little odd. “Zhao Yingguo’s Hair Ribbon? How did it end up with you, ma’am?”

The dormitory supervisor laughed a few awkward laughs. “I don’t know either. Maybe she dropped it by accident when she came to see me.”

Li Xiting put the Hair Ribbon away and smiled. “All right. I’ll pass it on to her.”

With that, Li Xiting continued walking forward. Qin Weiyi quickly pulled Lu Jing along after her.

Li Xiting was not only Zhao Yingguo’s roommate. After getting a clear look at her face, Qin Weiyi and Lu Jing both found her somewhat familiar-so familiar that they had only just seen her not long ago.

Wasn’t this girl the one in the video who had bullied Zhao Yingguo, yet was the only one who hadn’t died? She was also the behind-the-scenes boss they had been speculating about.

So her name was Li Xiting?

Holding the Hair Ribbon, Li Xiting went straight back to Dormitory 6103.

Qin Weiyi hurried after her. When Li Xiting opened the door and went in, he quickly dragged Lu Jing inside as well.

After Li Xiting entered, she casually closed the door behind her.

Inside the room, the other three were all there at the moment, each sitting at her own desk.

Qin Weiyi glanced around.

The other two had not appeared in the later sea of Fire. In other words, among Zhao Yingguo’s roommates, aside from Li Xiting, whose background was still unknown, the other two roommates had not participated in abusing Zhao Yingguo either.

That made it strange.

Why hadn’t Zhao Yingguo stayed in her own dorm? Why had she gone to the dormitory supervisor’s room instead?

Her roommates hadn’t hurt her, so why had Zhao Yingguo avoided her own dorm?

Li Xiting had already walked straight up to Zhao Yingguo and placed the Hair Ribbon in her hand on Zhao Yingguo’s desk. “Yingguo, your Hair Ribbon.”

Zhao Yingguo was writing a thesis on her computer. Hearing the movement, her typing fingers paused, and she looked up.

When she saw the Hair Ribbon, she was a little surprised. “Where did you find it? I thought I’d lost it.”

“The dormitory supervisor gave it to me. Looks like you dropped it at her place,” Li Xiting said with a smile.

The smile on Zhao Yingguo’s face froze abruptly. She reached out, gripped the Hair Ribbon tightly in her hand, then answered in a slightly dazed voice, “Is… is that so?”

After hearing Li Xiting and Zhao Yingguo’s conversation, the other two people in the dorm also turned to look over.

“Zhao Yingguo, when did you go to see the dormitory supervisor?” someone asked. Qin Weiyi had no idea which one she was.

Zhao Yingguo forced the corners of her mouth up and replied, “I probably left it there when I went to ask for leave.”

“Oh.”

No one seemed to grow suspicious.

Zhao Yingguo hid the Hair Ribbon away, then turned back to the computer, concealing her expression completely.

But as an onlooker, Qin Weiyi saw everything clearly.

Zhao Yingguo-

She was afraid.

Qin Weiyi couldn’t understand it.

Why would Zhao Yingguo start to feel afraid after learning that this Hair Ribbon had been in the dormitory supervisor’s room? Did she already know at this point that there was something wrong with the dormitory supervisor? Also, when exactly had the scene from the video, the one in the classroom, taken place? Right now, when Zhao Yingguo looked at Li Xiting, she wasn’t afraid at all.

Too many questions filled Qin Weiyi’s mind. Yet before he could figure them out, Li Xiting’s voice rang out again.
“Have you seen enough?” Li Xiting said.

Qin Weiyi paid her no mind.

Not until Li Xiting laughed again, the sound strange.

Alarm bells instantly went off in Qin Weiyi’s head, and he instinctively turned to look at Li Xiting. The moment he did, his eyes met hers.

Li Xiting… was looking at him?

Qin Weiyi whipped around to look behind him.

The other two girls in the dorm had already turned their attention back to their computers. In other words, Li Xiting’s words had been directed at him and Lu Jing?

Li Xiting could actually see him and Lu Jing?

Before Qin Weiyi could think any further, he immediately grabbed Lu Jing and ran for the door.

Lu Jing was tugged once by Qin Weiyi and quickly snapped back to his senses. With one long stride, he hoisted Qin Weiyi up, yanked the door open, and charged straight out.

One of the girls looked toward the doorway in confusion. “Why did the door open?”

Li Xiting laughed softly and said, “Maybe I didn’t shut it properly. The wind must have blown it open.”

“Oh.” The girl didn’t think much of it. After responding, she turned back to her computer.

Li Xiting walked to the door.

She glanced out into the Corridor.

Lu Jing was carrying Qin Weiyi and sprinting madly down the hall. Qin Weiyi looked over and happened to meet Li Xiting’s gaze again. Li Xiting gave him a friendly smile.

Li Xiting thought it was friendly. To Qin Weiyi, it was nothing but terrifying.

However, Li Xiting didn’t seem to have any intention of making a move against them. She soon closed the door and did not chase after them.

Qin Weiyi froze for a moment, unable to make sense of it.

By then, Lu Jing had already rushed to the Stairs. He headed straight down, and by the time Qin Weiyi reacted and tried to warn him, it was already too late.

Lu Jing carried Qin Weiyi and thundered downstairs. In the brief second Qin Weiyi was thrown off, Lu Jing had already run down to the fifth floor. Just as Lu Jing was about to keep going, and Qin Weiyi was about to speak up, several voices rang out before he could.

“Lu Jing, Qin Weiyi!”

“What are you two doing?”

“What’s going on?”

“…”

Four different voices sounded at almost the same time.

Only then did Lu Jing stop and turn to look.

At that moment, Mu Xin, Lin Junruo, Yellow Hair, and Shi Chen were standing at the entrance to the dorm room on the fifth floor, staring at them in shock.

Lu Jing did not relax immediately. Instead, he asked Qin Weiyi, “Xiao Qin, are we back?”

“Probably,” Qin Weiyi replied. Then he patted Lu Jing and said, “Put me down.”

Lu Jing hurriedly set him down.

Mu Xin and the others also came up to meet them.

Not long ago, Jian Fan and Qin Nan had disappeared, and soon after, Lu Jing and Qin Weiyi had vanished as well.

The four people left behind hadn’t dared to move around recklessly, afraid that they would get separated again.

Since there was no immediate danger for the time being, they had decided to stay where they were and wait, then see how things played out. If Jian Fan and the others never came back, they would have to come up with another plan. What they hadn’t expected was that Lu Jing and Qin Weiyi would reappear here so quickly after disappearing.

“What happened?” Yellow Hair asked, then added, “You’re both back, but where are Jian Fan and Qin Nan?”

Qin Weiyi raised an eyebrow.

He hadn’t seen Qin Nan or Jian Fan, which meant the time and space they had crossed into were probably not the same. It wasn’t strange that those two still hadn’t returned. If Lu Jing hadn’t run so fast, they wouldn’t have exited that original time and space so quickly either.

As for Qin Nan and Jian Fan…

Qin Weiyi smiled and said, “They should have found some kind of clue.”
