"This guy seems like he exists in a dream."

...

Affordable store.

Lu Yi was a bit excited, but also a bit uneasy.

His salary here was quite high, surpassing what he earned from tutoring, and it was on campus, which was very convenient.

Therefore, he skipped some unimportant classes when he could, just to spend more time in the store, to justify his salary.

Earlier, just as he entered the store, Tan Wenbin came over, patted him on the shoulder, and told him that he got another raise, and it was a fifty percent increase.

The additional job responsibility was to record and promptly convey messages from their small group that called into the store.

In fact, he used to do that already and didn't find it particularly tough or tiring; it was just answering calls and passing messages after all, though there was a period when answering the phone gave him inexplicable heart palpitations, which scared him into rearranging his altars back in the dorm.

But upon analysis afterward, it was probably due to poor sleep recently.

Tan Wenbin's raise offer was non-negotiable, so Lu Yi eventually accepted it.

He had a feeling that ever since he started worshiping that fellow villager, he's been on a lucky streak.

Lu Yi pressed his hands together in front of him and mumbled:

"Red Sausage Ghost bless me, Red Sausage Ghost bless me!"

While he was making a void worship, Lu Yi saw Yin Meng and Run Sheng walking out side by side.

Yin Meng asked him, "Do you have a lot of classes today?"

Lu Yi shook his head, "It's almost finals, there aren't many classes left. I can stay in the store all day today, and when there are no customers, I can review for finals."

"Then I leave it to you, I'm taking Run Sheng out to buy clothes."

"Haha, okay."

Lu Yi nodded with a smile, but at the same time felt a bit strange. He knew Yin Meng liked shopping, but Run Sheng actually didn't like going out. Run Sheng only liked moving goods in the store.

But, why bother with other people's business.

Lu Yi picked up the phone and dialed the button, planning to call home to ask his parents to send more red sausages.

Run Sheng and Yin Meng walked out of the store, and just as they stepped down the stairs, Run Sheng involuntarily sighed.

He'd rather, back in his hometown, deliver goods to Mr. Li ten times a day or go to the brick kiln to carry bricks than accompany Yin Meng shopping.

"Didn't we just buy clothes?"

"Only bought a few. Yesterday, only a top and a pair of pants were suitable, the rest I have to return later."

"That's enough. As long as clothes aren't beyond repair, there's no need to buy new ones."

"How can we give that phone a chance to deliver clues without going out?"

"You could ask Zheng Jiayi to go shopping."

"I'm afraid to ask her out at this time, fearing she might get involved."

Run Sheng nodded, accepting the reason, and followed Yin Meng as they continued to walk forward.

Yin Meng was quite happy, raising her hand, she said: "Hey, why are you so unhappy? If someone took me shopping for new clothes when I was a kid, I would have been overjoyed."

Run Sheng: "That would be a human trafficker."

Yin Meng rolled her eyes at Run Sheng: "Didn't you want to wear new clothes when you were a kid, to show off in front of your friends?"

Run Sheng: "I used to fish for corpses with Grandpa, I had a smell, no kids wanted to play with me."

Yin Meng's tone suddenly became a bit somber, saying: "Same here, the kids on the street were all told by their parents not to play with me, saying my family ran a coffin shop, bringing bad luck.

Even if Grandpa bought me toys and dolls when I was a kid, I had no one to show off to, haha."

While speaking, Yin Meng lowered her head and took two forceful sniffs.

Upon hearing this, Run Sheng was stunned for a moment, then sped up his pace to go ahead, urging:

"Come on, let's go buy new clothes."

Yin Meng wiped nonexistent tears away, feigning a 'turning tears into laughter' expression, and smiled:

"Alright, let's go!"

The small pickup was taken away by Tan Wenbin, so the two of them could only walk to the school gate.

Yin Meng: "I'll go hail a taxi."

Run Sheng: "Let's take the bus."

Yin Meng: "Sigh, when I saw others taking cabs as a kid, I was so envious, but alas... hahaha!"

While saying this, even Yin Meng couldn't hold back and started laughing.

Then, she nudged Run Sheng with her elbow, asking: "Didn't you notice I was pretending to be pitiful?"

Run Sheng: "I noticed you were pretending."

Yin Meng: "And you still obediently come out with me to buy clothes?"

Run Sheng: "The regrets of childhood aren't pretend."

Yin Meng stopped, then placing her hand on her hip, said sheepishly:

"I wish I could whip you for ruining my good mood when going out today!"

...

Lin Shuyou arrived at Jinling University. During dinner yesterday, the Zhou brothers mentioned their department, plus the fact that they do lion dance, which made them quite well-known in school.

Upon inquiry, Lin Shuyou found their dormitory, but their roommates said the two had left early in the morning.

Lin Shuyou noticed a newly-pasted large pink star wallpaper in the corner of their dorm room.

If Li Zhiyuan or Tan Wenbin were here, they would definitely have peeled it off to see what it was concealing, only to find the charred wall beneath.

But Lin Shuyou just thought, it's pretty girly to have this kind of wallpaper in a boys' dormitory.

And then, he left.

Next, by asking students along the way, he managed to find a clue. From the school's living area, he reached a more secluded riverside area near the school.

He actually found the two Zhou brothers.

Zhou Cheng and Zhou Feng were talking to a newly dug mound of earth, and then they left with red eyes.

Once they left, Lin Shuyou approached the mound, took out a trident from his bag, intending to dig to see what was inside, since it seemed like a very important clue.
