Chapter 27
At seven in the morning, the sun rises.
Lian Xi and Su Jiao together go out of the Su City Public Security Bureau door. The two looked up to the east, on that round rising sun, exhaled a heavy breath, and then looked at each other, without words, some words, only a little hint is all that is needed——
Hei Wu Chang’s identity proof, what should be done?!
Su Jiao began to come up with ideas: “Or we can say that he is the reincarnated Hei Wu Chang, run away from family planning then get the second child, to give him a new registered residence!”
Lian Xi hit the nail on the head aka pierce to the truth with one pertinent remark: “Then who are the parents?”
Su Jiao clenched his teeth: “Mum and dad thought it was too ugly when it came out, so they threw it directly to the side of the road!”
Lian Xi was expressionless: “….”
“This, you say it again in front of Hei Wu Chang.”
Su Jiao: “Then you say it, how to do it!?”
Su Jiao’s idea seems a bit interesting, but when you think about it, it’s full of loopholes. At least, Lian Xi thinks that Wu’s vice team will be able to notice that it’s not right at a glance.
You said that Lie Zong is always reincarnated as the second child, his parents did not register it on the household registration. Okay, I’ll let that slide.
You said Lie Zong looked so ugly that her mum and dad at a glance did not want… Well, let’s say that the police are blind, appreciate the exotic flower, let you be fooled over.
However, in modern society, it is impossible for someone to live for more than 20 years without leaving a trace in society. Unless it’s a wild man in the mountains, or a homeless person who has been begging since he was a child and has been living everywhere as home. In this case, in today’s harmonious society, the latter are rare, and wanting to find one, it’s even harder than reaching the sky.
Lian Xi pursed his lips, “I’ll find the solutions.”
Su Jiao curiously said: “You have a way? Although we used the black ghost officer’s urgent business trip and suddenly left to delay the time, people said, let the black ghost officer’s business trip back this week, immediately go to the public security bureau to make up for the statement.”
Lian Xi was silent for a moment: “Leave this matter to me.”
Su Jiao quietly glanced at him, muttering in a low voice: “You actually still have a way, I don’t believe it…”
Lian Xi didn’t say anything back.
Lian Xi said he wanted to solve this matter, then he really is.
I can’t afford to fool around any longer.
The last time the real estate agent Xiaoliu wanted to see the identity card of Lie Zong, Lian Xi got worried, on the same night, the ID card photo was sent to Xiao Liu, which was considered to cover it up. But the police are not real estate agents, the identity information of the Police Department is connected to a network, a simple P picture of course, can not deceive the police’s discerning eyes.
From the Public Security Bureau, cross two roads.
Lian Xi’s heart was troubled, he raised his head and looked towards the opposite side of the road.
His line of sight abruptly stopped.
At the end of the wide zebra crossing, a man dressed in black, indifferent and elegant, stood under the roadside tree, his right hand inserted into his pocket, his left hand holding Wu Chang certificate, his eyes hanging down, not knowing what he was looking at. As if sensing Lian Xi’s line of sight, Lie Chen similarly raised his head and looked at him.
In the place covered by the shade of the trees, the golden light in the sky spread out and surrounded the calm and handsome man in the centre.
Somehow, Lian Xi looked at him for a few more seconds.
When the red light turned green, he raised his step and walked towards the opposite side of the road.
Lie Zong had already been waiting here for a long time.
It was quite close to the neighbourhood they rented, and the three of them walked home together.
As he kept walking,
Lie Chen: “What do you mean by business trip?”
Lian Xi froze, turned his head to look at him, before he could say anything, Su Jiao on the side first staggered, “You don’t even know about business trips, it’s when you go out of town, to work overseas!”
“Oh.” Lie Zong said, “For example, I travelled to Yan City, working in their territory ……”
Lian Xi subconsciously picked up thpe conversation, “Robbing their performance?”
Su Jiao stared wide-eyed, “Huh?”
Lie Chen glanced at Lian Xi and smiled, “I see (understand now).”
Travelling on business = robbing their performance.
Lian Xi: “….”
Although I don’t know what you know anymore, it certainly doesn’t feel like something good.
Along the way, Lian Xi gazed and pondered on how he should get an ID card for Lie Zong, and he didn’t notice that the man beside him glanced at him twice from time to time.
You’re standing on a bridge looking at the scenery, and the people looking at the scenery are upstairs looking at you.
Under the gorgeous dazzling sunset, the youth stood on the opposite side of the road, the breeze blew up the split hair in front of his forehead, and the sunlight shone on his fair skin, which was as lustrous as jade. However, a pair of clear and brilliant eyes quietly gazed at him…
Both of Hei Wu Chang’s hands stuck in his pockets, his heart inexplicably flashed a sentence.
”The Moon Marrow of the Courtyard of the Northern Desert Wide and Cold”, seems to be the same colour ……
Well, wait, what is the ‘Court of the Northern Desert Wide and Cold’?
Lord Black Impermanence suddenly furrowed his long brows and fell into deep thought.
***
Returning home, after a busy night of staying up all night, Lian Xi did not rest immediately.
He tossed and turned on the bed, thinking for a long time, and suddenly a flash of light came to his mind.
Lian Xi opened his mobile phone address book, found a name that he had not contacted for a long time, and dialled the number.
After a few seconds, the phone was picked up, and a refreshing male voice came from the other end of the phone, “Lian Xi, why did you suddenly think of calling me?”
Lian Xi’s fingers flexed slightly, and after a long time, he said, “That, I’m sorry, Chen Kai, there’s something…. I want to ask you to help me.”
At this moment, a certain shopping mall in Su City, a Hong Kong tea style restaurant.
A young man in a western suit and stand very straight, walked out of the shop and found a quiet corner, he held his mobile phone in one hand and laughed, “Hey, after graduating for more than a year, I thought that you are a social phobia,die hard otaku, you probably won’t take the initiative to contact a few of us in this life. Don’t be so polite, no matter what, we’ve also lived together for four years, so if there’s anything you need help with, just say it directly.”
Chen Kai’s words just fell, on the other end of the phone, came the voice of his college roommate who hadn’t been in contact for a long time, “It’s just that I have a friend, he is an unregistered resident or household now, no ID card.”
Chen Kai frowned: “What’s the situation, the reincarnated second child?”
Lian Xi: “It’s a bit complicated. I saw in the group before, you seem to be in a relationship with, ahem…. in a relationship with the daughter of the deputy director of the police department, so I wanted to ask you if you can help with the household. I guarantee that this person is absolutely clean, except for being an unregistered resident.”
Chen Kai laughed: “Can I not trust you, it’s all a small matter, I can trust your character.
But then again, my girlfriend is the deputy director’s daughter, this thing you also know. Tell me, isn’t it true that when I chat with the old Zhao guys in the dormitory group, you have been secretly peeping at the screen?”
Chen Kai: “Alright, I know that you’re a social phobia, this shouldn’t be a problem. I’ll ask you how to get it done first. If you need any information, I’ll send it to you this afternoon.”
Lian Xi: “Really thank you so much!”
Chen Kai smiled, “You’re welcome. Oh yeah, I remembered something. Last month, I heard Old Zhao say that your live broadcasting has picked up *improved* a bit.”
Lian Xi: “It is a bit.”
Chen Kai laughed, “Did you still take my ghost stories to scare people?”
Lian Xi was in a daze, “….You found out again.”
Chen Kai: “Hahaha, it wasn’t me who found it, it was Old Zhao who was watching Dou Ya Live that day and saw your name on the front page, so he clicked in, and it turned out that you happened to be telling that ghost story of mine. I didn’t expect you to remember ah, that was all made up by me.”
Lian Xi: “…. Cough, sorry for using your story.”
“What’s there to be sorry about, haha.”
Chen Kai: “Well, I’m having breakfast with my mum and my girlfriend. It’s just as well that I’ll ask her how to get a registered permanent residence for you, hang up first.”
Lian Xi: “Okay, thank you, waiting for your news.”
Hanging up the phone, the man pushed open the glass door of the teahouse and walked into the shop. He was wearing an expensive light-coloured suit, with a confident smile on his face, striding towards the restaurant’s window seat. There was one of the best viewpoints in the entire shopping mall, offering a distant view of Su City’s beautiful lake, you could see the blue waves rippling and the sky clear.
Chen Kai smiled and walked over, “Mum, Qian Qian, what are you guys chatting about?”
The slightly stout middle-aged woman laughed, “Listening to Qian Qian talking about the time when you were in college.” She greeted her son and sat down.
Chen Kai pulled out a chair and sat beside his girlfriend.
The girl called Qian Qian was average looking, but her temperament was pure and she had two sweet dimples when she smiled. However, compared to the boyfriend sitting next to her, she is indeed somewhat inferior.
When he was in school, Chen Kai was a famous handsome man at the University of Suzhou, a veritable school grass (the most handsome boy in the school).
In fact, many girls also said in private that Chen Kai’s roommate Lian Xi was even more handsome than him, but Lian Xi never participated in group activities and stayed in the house all day without showing his face. Unlike Chen Kai, he was the vice president of the student union and received a first-class scholarship every year. So the name of Su University’s school grass fell on Chen Kai’s head.
The happy girl took her boyfriend’s arm, rested her head on his shoulder, and said with a smile, “I was talking to Auntie about how when you were in college, your grades were especially good, and so many girls liked you.”
Chen Kai smiled and pinched his girlfriend’s cheeks, “Then, don’t I only like you right?”
Looking at her son and his girlfriend’s sweet appearance, Mother Chen was quite pleased, at this time, she didn’t mind slightly exposing her son, letting her daughter-in-law also listen to her son’s embarrassing stories from his childhood: “Qian Qian ah, there is one thing you’re wrong about, Xiao Kai was not always had good grades since he was a kid. He was naughty in primary school, and his grades were not good. In junior high school, he actually managed to get into Yan Middle School, and all of us were shocked, but of course, he had to pay to get in. But Yan Middle School is different, you can’t get in just because you pay the money, there are also score requirements. Anyway, at that time, Xiao Kai got into Yan Middle School’s minimum passing score (as for enrolment eligibility), his father and I were already very happy.”
Qian Qian’s eyes rounded, “Ah, there’s such a thing.”
Mother Chen: “Right? I remember it was the time of the first year of military training. Xiao Kai do you still remember? You were living in the school, to carry out military training. You do not know how to sneak out of the dormitory, run to the grove, then you also fainted. Next morning, the security guards found out and rushed you and your roommate to the infirmary, but you couldn’t wake up… It seems to be that you hit your head? When the teacher contacted your dad and I, it scared the hell out of us.”
Chen Kai smiled dotingly at his girlfriend and explained, “I was naughty at that time and ran out of the dorm in the middle of the night to play.”
Mother Chen, “That’s true, your father was so angry that he hit you several times that time. But since then you are like a different person, suddenly you study well, and not naughty and mischievous anymore, especially good and filial. Your grade, all of a sudden, rises into the top ten of the class, the teacher even said it was impossible before.”
Girlfriend curiously looked at his own boyfriend: “How did you suddenly change so much?”
It seemed that because of his mother’s embarrassing stories about his childhood, the handsome boy was very helpless and had to give in to these two most important women in his life. Chen Kai thought seriously for a long time, a gentle smile appeared on his face and his voice was calm, “Probably because he died once, so he thought, he can’t waste his life again?”
Qian Qian froze, “Died once?”
Chen Kai grumbled and looked at his own mother, “Dad was in the infirmary that time, literally beating me to death, not even giving me any face.”
Mother Chen glared angrily at her son, “Wasn’t it because you were naughty?”
Chen Kai raised his hands in surrender, “Fine, fine, it’s all my fault.”
Warm and joyful laughter resounded in the teahouse.
***
In the evening, after the three of them finished their break, Lian Xi and Lie Chen helped Su Jiao move.
Su Jiao was touched, “Good brothers, roommates!” He patted Lian Xi’s shoulder, and was about to go and pat Lie Zong’s shoulder, he looked at Lord Black Impermanence’s cold indifferent expression….
“Eh.” Su Jiao silently put away his arm.
On the way to Su University, Su Jiao quietly poked Lian Xi, “How come he came to help me move things.”
Lian Xi thought about it: “You guess?”
Su Jiao: “…..”
Su Jiao: “Hmph, I guess you don’t know either!” Hei Wu Chang’s mind, you don’t need to guess!
I don’t know?
Lian Xi is too lazy to bother with him.
Su Jiao’s dormitory was sealed by the police because someone had just died, and up to now there were a few criminal police officers who stayed at the scene, taking pictures and collecting evidence. Originally, the three of them were not good to go in, but it just so happened that one of the small policemen who stayed at the scene had seen them at the police station before.
The small criminal police size up Su Jiao, laughed: “He he, you come to get the luggage, you do not dare to stay again?”
Su Jiao dryly laughed: “Yes ……”
Small criminal police: “OK, go in ba. We also almost finished, the case should not be a big problem, but you guys go in and get the stuff then you guys just go.”
The trio rushed into the house.
It didn’t take long before the police outside the door were all gone as well.
Su Jiao sighed in relief, “This is too unlucky, I never want to live in a dormitory again in my life!”
If they want to move the luggage, they have to pack things first.
Lian Xi: “You just live there for more than half a month, why do you buy so many messy things?”
Su Jiao puts away the luggage and restrains without tears: “I also don’t know ah!”
Lian Xi thought about it and helped start collecting things as well.
As they hummed and hawed and packed, the sound of students talking came from the corridor outside the door.
“Did you hear it? It was Liu Hao who killed Xie Ze!”
“You’re fucking outdated, who doesn’t know, Liu Hao seemed to have confessed on the spot and was taken away in the early hours of the morning.”
“Eh you know what the hell is going on between the two of them in the end? Before, isn’t that they have a quite good relationship?”
“(Because of) women.”
“Women?” A third voice interjected, “What do you guys know, Sun Yan is a prelude. Xie Ze cheated on Sun Yan last year and hid the affair from his girlfriend, you guys don’t know about it. He he, I know all about it. Sun Yan, this girl is a real whore, Xie Ze secretly screwed with her, she was happy, Xie Ze broke up, she took it as nothing had happened. Last month, Liu Hao got together with Sun Yan again and she let Xie Ze know about it.”
“Wow, what is this, a threesome.”
“A threesome my arse, only Liu Hao and Sun Yan, Xie Ze didn’t get involved. But I heard from my uncle in the Public Security Bureau that Xie Ze has been blackmailing Liu Hao since he found out about this!”
“No way, Xie Ze doesn’t look like such a person.”
“You don’t understand, who is Liu Hao’s girlfriend you guys don’t even know? It’s Xiao Jia, Xiao’s Senior Sister, Teacher Xiao’s only daughter, so precious. Liu Hao is in love with his teacher’s daughter. If he cheats on her and gets caught, do you think he’ll have a good time? He might not even graduate! He surely didn’t dare to let Xiao Jia know ah, he was then blackmailed by Xie Ze, again to help Xie Ze write thesis, again to give Xie Ze money. This time the trigger is next month’s tutor recommendation qualification, Xie Ze let Liu Hao give it to him, Liu Hao was so furious then he murder him.”
“Then could Sun Yan have been killed by Liu Hao?”
The voices of the three people talking faded away.
For a long time, Su Jiao froze and looked at his housemate’s empty bed, “I really can’t see that they’re such people, he’s really such a nice person ah….”
Lian Xi also followed his gaze and looked at the clean and tidy bed.
In this world, everyone wears a mask to live.
The mask is worn for a long time, grows to the face, sticks to the flesh ……
and can never be taken off again.
……
It was not easy to pack up things, Lian Xi and Su Jiao raised their heads and suddenly found ….
“Crap, where is the black ghost messenger?”
Lian Xi was also a bit surprised, “I saw him just now.”
Su Jiao: “F*ck, he wouldn’t have seen us packing up and given a run for it! This is fucking helping me move?!”
Lian Xi frowned slightly as he stood up. Suddenly, seeming to realize something, Lian Xi’s gaze flinched as he turned his head to look out the window.
At the same time.
The dim light of the setting sun shone on the walls of the graduate dormitory building, glowing with mottled and old colours.
There were constantly students going in and out of the dormitory building to go to the canteen to eat, they were talking, laughing, and arms around each other’s shoulders. No one noticed the man in black standing next to the gate on the ground floor.
Lie Chen stood on the floor of the graduate student dormitory building of Su City University, his hands in his pockets, gently looking up, looking at an electricity bill reminder notice posted on the glass door.
….. electricity bill.
What is it?
Lord Black Impermanence slowly tilted his head.
The dusk wind was warm and twilight, and a slightly cool breeze abruptly blew through the man’s hair.
Suddenly, the world became quiet.
The students coming and going beside him were no longer so noisy and loud, and the sound of the wind also became incredibly slow. In his afterglow, he seemed to have caught a glimpse of some white shadow that had an extraordinary magical power, attracting people who couldn’t help but look at it, and then look at it again ……
Lie Chen turned his head, he looked at the small, shabby and quiet white dove that had suddenly appeared in the corner of the gate at an unknown time.
The tattered and dented ceramic shell, the dark and deep eyes, the mouth as bright red as blood.
Lie Chen lowered his head, quietly looking and watching.
Then he looked over at a crooked line of text carved into the dove’s neck.
“.…”
“Hn?”
“Dreams? Does taking first in performance count?”
Little White Dove: “……????”
What?
Under the setting sun, the man looked at the small white dove’s pair of dark eyes, slowly smiled: “A little interesting, robbed my two performances….”
“You’re very daring ah.”
Author’s Note:
Little White Dove: Excuse me, what is your dream?
Lie Zong: How dare you?
Little White Dove: ？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？
CC: Leave the dove under the palm! Give the pigeon a way to live!
Salt City Ghost Officer: you guys dare to change the wool to pull it, dare or not, QAQ!
