Chapter 6, I Have Liked You for a Long Time (2)

The bright mirror has departed just like that

A metal rack used for hanging pork in the school kitchen was pushed into the basement of the medical technology building. Someone knocked Su Cai unconscious and then hung her on the rack, locking her in the basement. Mingjing stated, "Su Cai was severely injured by the iron hook used for hanging pork and after being unconscious for a day and a night, she managed to open the door and come out."

Hmm. To Yang Chengyan's surprise, Lu Cai neither shouted nor denied anything, but simply responded quietly with a "hmm" and said nothing more

He opened the door himself?" Yang Chengyan raised her eyebrows, "The door that was locked from the inside?"

"Who knocked you out?" she asked, while glancing around the room. The green-themed room, though messy, was very clean, with little dust. She patted her skirt and sat down on a pile of paper money.

"Mingjing, Mingjing, Mingjing..." Lvcai murmured, "Mingjing spends all day with Subai, I hate them being together, Mingjing's eyes are terrifying, I don't know... I don't know what he is thinking..." He instinctively felt that his words were inadequate, grasping her sleeve, "Mingjing is a classmate, so I brought him home, and then he was with Subai... always together..."

No," she smiled slightly, "I saw him coming from the east, so I walked from the west

"What happened two years ago in the basement of the medical technology building?" She stood in front of the mirror, listening to these bizarre stories, her gaze remained calm.

The fingers of the mirror rested on the glasses, his fingers were fair and flawless, with very beautiful knuckles. She looked at his fingers and said, "The glasses are very clean, no need to wipe them again"

The door to the eighteenth floor is tightly closed, and there is no light inside

Teacher Cui? Yang Chengyan was taken aback, "Teacher Cui..." She stood up and walked around the room a few times, "So you... so you died in that basement?"

"Regardless of how he opened it, the fact is that he came out through the door, and of course, one could further suspect that someone opened the door for him," Mingjing said. "I do not know who pushed the iron frame into the basement, I do not know who knocked him out and for what reason, I do not know who locked him in the basement, nor do I know if someone opened the door for him." A trace of elegant cold laughter appeared at the corner of his mouth, "The school is tight-lipped about this matter; no one knows exactly what happened. Not long after this incident, Su Cai dropped out of school, and Su Bai said he had gone mad."

I do not want that, I want to eat almonds

What is wrong with him? He is good-looking, has excellent grades, and has no shortcomings; I cannot think of any flaws in Mingjing. She shrugged and said, I like Mingjing

She gently brushed her hair back, which was simply tied in a ponytail. Her hair was very straight, and it felt nice to run my fingers through it. "I admire Mingjing very much"

Really

She seems to have stepped into someone else's story, with the handsome and composed Su Bai, who is successful in his career; the eccentric and self-proclaimed ghost, Lu Cai; and the elegant and calm Ming Jing, who has a bright future ahead. Each person has a reasonable explanation for their own story, and they all sound quite convincing. Who is telling the truth? Who is false? Among the students of Xinzi High School, who exactly is the madman?

Between Su Bai, Su Cai, and Ming Jing, there must be a more complex relationship. She looked at Ming Jing's back and recalled the beautiful yet empty-headed Lu Cai. The cafeteria became eerily silent and desolate after Ming Jing left, and the moonlight outside cast shadows on the steps, making the road and the trees along the path appear particularly dark

"It is Teacher Cui," said Lu Cai in confusion, "but I do not know why he hit me; perhaps he mistook me for someone else. He... he..."

Because the sound of the bright mirror came to an abrupt halt, he paused for a moment, with one hand in his pocket, and said lightly, "I am going to class"

"Then how could he possibly know you?" Lǜ Cǎi looked at her with frustration, "You are really foolish."

"You are a ghost, do you not know who knocked you out?" she said, "Who is it?"

Tomorrow, let's go take another look at that ghost, she is curious, she admits

Lü Cai saw her sit down and also sat on the ground, looking quite dejected, "Who... knocked me out..."

Why? He widened his eyes in disbelief

"So how would one get to know each other?" She found it very interesting, tilting her head to look at the green color, "If it were you, what would you do?"

She was taken aback for a moment, unsure why he would suddenly ask such a question. "Ah..." she hesitated for a moment, gently sighed, "How could one think like that?"

"Why should one like the bright mirror..." Lvcai murmured softly, her beautiful face appearing quite vexed.

I heard some stories about Su Cai at school. "She walked into the room and closed the door, "I am also a student of Xinzi High School. I have a senior, Mingjing, from the third year..." She looked into Lvcai's eyes, which showed no hint of surprise, "He said—two years ago—you were his classmate."

"Is it the kind of liking that girls have for boys?" he asked

"Indeed, it is such a beautiful place, but where can one find a place like this?" she said softly, glancing at her watch. "Are you hungry? I will treat you to beef noodles."

A moment of silence lingered between the two individuals, as the nervously fidgeting fingers of the green-clad person traced patterns on his own jeans. Yang Chengyan quietly observed the dust and shoe prints on the walls of the green room. In that instant, she felt relaxed and at peace, undisturbed by anyone. No one had ever asked her if she liked Mingjing; she had concealed it too well. Everyone faces various pressures and expectations during their growth, and for Yang Chengyan, the pressure might be even greater. Her life was solely her own, and liking Mingjing brought an even heavier burden, for he was too exceptional. No one had ever asked her if she liked Mingjing; she had concealed it too well.

She reached out and patted the head of the green-colored creature, changing the subject, "What kind of terrifying person is Mingjing?"

He said, "Two years ago, you were knocked unconscious and locked in the basement of the school's medical technology building." She continued quietly, "What happened?"

She nodded slightly, looking with great interest at Mingjing's calm and composed gaze, and her elegant and slender figure

I understand. When you were in the first year of high school, Mingjing was your classmate. He wanted to meet your brother, so you brought him home, and he often spent time with Subai. You didn't like them being together, did you? She patiently brushed aside the fingers of Lvcai, preventing him from grasping her. Lvcai's fingers were warm and soft. Could it be that even ghosts have warm ghosts?

I don't know. He is very honest

She reached out to twist the doorknob, recalling that Lu Cai usually did not lock the door. Sure enough, with a "click," the door opened easily. Inside was pitch black, and something screamed as it rushed past her face, creating a gust of wind. The light suddenly flashed, revealing Lu Cai standing in the center of the room, holding a star-shaped calcareous object, which was hard to identify. He saw Yang Chengyan, who was clearly very happy, dancing with excitement, "You didn't come this afternoon; I waited for a long time."

First, find a vast and expansive meadow, where there stands a large and magnificent tree. The tree is adorned with white flowers, whose petals drift gracefully in the wind, filling the air with a delightful fragrance..." he said, "The sky is filled with stars, and there is no moon. You should tell the mirror, 'I have liked you for a long time'..."

I don't know..." she said, "We were in the same school during middle school, Mingjing has always been very outstanding, he doesn't know me, and even now, it can't be considered that he knows me.

He believes that he is a ghost who needs the death of other beings to sustain his own life; this is merely a strained explanation crafted by his extraordinary imagination for Su Bai's acts of murder and cruelty. He loves Su Bai, so he concocts justifications for Su Bai's actions and then unwaveringly believes in the reasons he has fabricated, which leads him to madness. Mingjing said, "He may not be a born madman, but he is certainly someone who can easily become one by nature." "He may not be a born madman, but he is certainly someone who can easily become one by nature."

"Yes, I like it very much," she said candidly

There were no lights on the sixteenth floor, so I went around the stairs a few times and ascended to the eighteenth floor

"That's not true! I have been dead for a long time! I died when I was six years old! I did not die in the basement, no, no, no!" Green Cai shook his head desperately, his eyes wide with extreme fear as he stared at her. "Don't talk nonsense! I don't want... I don't want..." He instinctively wanted to say, "I don't want to see you," which was something he habitually said when he saw Su Bai. But staring at Yang Chengyan, he held back the "don't" for a long time and ultimately did not say it. His beautiful eyes turned red, and he was about to cry.

The next day was a rainy day, the sky was overcast, and it was drizzling. After dinner in the evening, Yang Chengyan put on a pair of boots, carried ten yuan in her pocket, and walked to No. 35 Jiufen Alley. She did not use an umbrella, as the rain was light, and when she arrived at No. 35 Jiufen Alley, she stepped onto the stairs, leaving a footprint with each step.

My ... ... '' The green eyes seemed to speak, clearly reflecting what he originally did not want to say. After a moment of hesitation, he reluctantly admitted, `` Yes. '' Then he quickly emphasized, `` Mingjing is a very frightening person ... ... I ... ... he ... ... he ... ... ''

However, here at Lvcai, she felt no pressure. Lvcai is clumsy, paranoid, and neurotic; whatever he may be, he is ultimately harmless. Cai would not harm anyone; he is a weakling, whether he is a ghost or something else.

The building at night grew increasingly eerie, with no lights from the first to the ninth floor, enveloped in a dead silence, as if no one had ever lived here for many years, dust covering everything. Yang Chengyan illuminated the staircase with the light from her flashlight keychain, which emitted a faint blue glow, casting light on the boots ascending the steps. At times, she even had the illusion that she was a murderer coming to kill someone. Above the tenth floor, the lights were bright, and every household was playing mahjong, making the entire building resemble a mahjong parlor, with shouts, laughter, the sound of dice, and the clattering of mahjong tiles echoing in succession, the smell of alcohol wafting at every open doorway. At this moment, as Yang Chengyan quietly ascended the stairs, she felt like a ghost invisible to others, passing through someone else's world, disconnected from anyone.

Hmm," said Lvcai, "I hate the Mingjing."

Indeed

He suddenly became interested, his eyes wide open as he looked at her, "So, have you ever written him a love letter?"

Beef noodles are more delicious than almonds

Yang Chengyan gazed at the mirror and said, "You are Mingheng's nephew, so you care about Su Bai and Su Cai, but unless he admits to murdering Mingheng himself, no one can do anything to him. Even if he confesses, he is a born madman and cannot be sentenced. Since both Su Bai and Su Cai have left Xinzi High School, and you have no further connection with them, why are you so determined to investigate Su Cai's whereabouts?" Her speech was clear and logical, her tone very calm, as if she did not wish to anger anyone, yet her words pierced the heart with undeniable truth, one by one.
