Chapter Seven, the Wheel of Reincarnation Six

Shen Wei stood up, first glaring at Zhao Yunlan, then his expression turned serious as he turned to the girl who was contemplating suicide. He remained silent for a full minute, just looking at her sternly, which ultimately frightened the sobbing girl into silence, leaving her to sniffle and stutter through her tears.

Foreign Language College, first year of graduate studies

Li Qian hesitated for a moment and nodded slowly.

Zhao Yunlan greeted the duty teacher at the entrance of the school hospital, handed Li Qian over to Shen Wei, and stood at the door with a cigarette in his mouth

Shen Wei did not even raise his eyelids: "It's so hot, what if it gets infected if we don't clean it properly?"

I..." Li Qian's voice trembled slightly, she quickly composed herself, pressed her lips together, "I apologize, Professor Shen, I truly... it was just a moment of impulse, I did not think it through, I acted on a whim, and almost caused..."

Li Qian let out a dry laugh and said, "So... the rooftop, right? What can you see there?"

Of course, Shen Wei did not lose his composure for long. After Zhao Yunlan gently stirred a bit, he immediately released him and, as if to cover it up, pushed up the legs of his glasses.

"It's just a scrape, who wraps bandages for that in this hot weather? If my arm is exposed, others might think I'm a mummy." Zhao Yunlan pinched his cigarette and naturally wrapped his arm around Shen Wei's back, "I plan to go in and check on that girl, care to join me?"

Which college are you from, and what grade are you in

Zhao Yunlan's heart, devoid of integrity, stirred slightly with a twinge

"How did you come here by yourself?" Shen Wei lowered his head, first rinsing his wound with distilled water, then gently wiping it clean with a cotton ball, cradling his arm as if it were a fragile treasure that could break at a touch, "If I press too hard, just let me know."

"Why are you acting like a big girl?" Zhao Yunlan first chuckled dismissively, but before Shen Wei could catch his breath, he suddenly changed the subject, "Have you seen me somewhere before, Teacher Shen?"

Guo Changcheng opened his eyes, his face covered in blood, and saw his leader, looking somewhat disheveled, supporting a young girl, standing not far away and saying meaningfully: "Young people need to exercise more; in our line of work, having low blood sugar from time to time is not acceptable"

This is a glorious yet arduous task, Guo Changcheng anxiously raised his head, staring at Zhao Yunlan with an expression that seemed to be pleading for help. However, it appeared that the other party's receiver was malfunctioning, as Zhao did not seem to understand his gaze at all. With a benevolent smile, he patted Guo's head, then glanced at Daqing, and without saying a word, turned and left.

Zhao Yunlan's wrist was gripped so tightly that it was nearly numb, his fingers had turned purple, and he was forcibly dragged up like this. The sleeve of his shirt brushed against his elbow, and without realizing it, a layer of skin on his forearm was rubbed off.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Guo Changcheng did not dare to speak, but he knew very well what was going on, and thus he lowered his head in shame

The sound of a girl jumping from the building startled many people; the previously empty corridor seemed to come back to life, with numerous faculty and staff peering out to inquire about what had happened. In this atmosphere of curious onlookers, Guo Changcheng slowly awakened, accompanied by a scream that was inhuman.

Shen Wei seems to have a bit of interest in himself; such a quality person, letting him go just like that makes Zhao Yunlan feel somewhat regretful

At the entrance of the university hospital of Longcheng University, there is a small river that has been artificially carved out, with a small bridge spanning over it. Zhao Yunlan lazily leaned against the wooden railing, slowly exhaling a puff of smoke onto his watch. The white smoke quickly dissipated, leaving a thin layer of white mist on the watch face, within which an old man's face appeared faintly, as if gazing at him through the watch.

The girl said hesitantly: "I... I'm sorry..."

Shen Wei's expression remained grim, and he said nothing. When someone quietly inquired about what had happened, he merely shook his head absently in silence

This time, Li Qian remained silent

The sound of footsteps echoed behind him. Zhao Yunlan gently swiped his hand across the dial, and the figure above immediately vanished. He calmly exhaled the smoke ring held in his mouth, turned around, and saw Shen Wei approaching with a small tray in his hands

However, by this time, it had already been nearly half a year since he ended his previous relationship. Teacher Shen was exactly the type that appealed to him, and Zhao Yunlan's thoughts inevitably wavered for a moment

Zhao Yunlan : `` ... ... ''

After Zhao Yunlan got up, he pretended to be carefree and took a pack of tissues out of his pocket, grinning as he wiped off the dirt, blood, and bits of sand from his arm: "Fortunately, you arrived in time; otherwise, I would have to serve as a pendulum for Long Da to keep time soon."

Li Qian glanced at him cautiously and nodded.

Zhao Yunlan has always been generous despite his poverty. As soon as Shen Wei spoke, he immediately released his grip, entrusting his very life to Shen Wei, as if he were not hanging from the top of an eighteen-story building, where he could fall and become a mere pulp, but rather just climbing a gently sloping hill.

Zhao Yunlan took out a cigarette and lit it, looking at her with a half-smile: "You don't even know what's wrong with you? Little classmate, I've only heard of impulsive murder, but it's quite rare to see someone impulsively harm themselves. What you just said sounds as if you... have been possessed by something."

He closed his eyes briefly, took a deep breath, and then caught up with Zhao Yunlan and the others

Shen Wei suddenly asked: "The Foreign Language College has very high credit requirements for elective courses in the humanities. Have you taken my class?"

Zhao Yunlan is very clear about what kind of person he is. Not only is his work unconventional, but he also has endless social engagements waiting for him every day. He indulges in a life of extravagance outside, while his own life is in complete disarray, living in luxury yet residing in a shabby place. He is not someone who can settle down and properly nurture a relationship. Finding a casual fling without any strings attached is one thing, but he probably cannot promise anyone a lasting commitment. It is best to avoid provoking such decent people from good families, but... he is not someone who can settle down and properly nurture a relationship. Finding a casual fling without any strings attached is one thing, but he probably cannot promise anyone a lasting commitment. It is best to avoid provoking such decent people from good families, but...

Zhao Yunlan would not let her go: "What are you afraid of? To be honest, what did you see when you were on the rooftop?"

The girl suddenly exclaimed "Wow" and quickly transitioned from sobbing to wailing uncontrollably

Shen Wei immediately stiffened like a stone with his movement, stumbling as he was pulled two steps forward, his neck and ears turning red. Then he reacted, flustered as he struggled to break free from Zhao Yunlan's embrace, pretending to be calm as he adjusted his shirt.

Instead, Zhao Yunlan awkwardly rubbed his nose and said: "Well, I don't have much to say, but you need to reflect on yourself, young lady. Think about yourself, and then think about your parents. At such a young age, what kind of obstacle can't you overcome? Come on, stop crying, get up quickly, and I'll take you to the infirmary to have a look."

Zhao Yunlan cast a thoughtful glance at her; the girl named Li Qian had a distinct and heavy shade of blue under her eyes, her gaze was vacant, her eyes were bloodshot, and her forehead appeared dark, exuding an overall aura of misfortune.

Zhao Yunlan quickly said: "Don't trouble yourself, I will handle it myself"

It was not until he walked out of others' sight that Shen Wei unconsciously raised his hand and pressed it at the center of his collarbone, where the thin shirt seemed to outline the shape of a pendant

Shen Wei's appearance reminded Zhao Yunlan of his grandfather, who had passed away many years ago. He was also a seasoned intellectual, always gentle and amiable, seemingly always yielding to others. He never used coarse language, nor did he raise his voice to scold anyone, let alone resort to physical actions. However, when he truly became angry, just a change in his expression would cause all of us younger ones to become completely obedient.

"The old cat is not without reason, a newly deceased ghost who hasn't passed the seven-day mourning period." Zhao Yunlan raised an eyebrow and muttered to himself softly, "To appear in broad daylight on the Mingjian, even if one was a red armband in the neighborhood committee during their lifetime, wouldn't be this bold, right? Old lady, which deity do you belong to?"

Zhao Yunlan took the girl downstairs and asked her on the way: "What is your name?"

Local people

I can see it. Zhao Yunlan turned his gaze forward, leisurely exhaling a puff of smoke, and said, When you jumped down, I saw many people on the rooftop, all watching you and laughing.

Zhao Yunlan scrutinized her for a moment, flicked the extended ash from his cigarette, and pushed her shoulder gently: "Alright, let's go in, we have arrived at the school hospital"

Shen Wei spoke as if he were giving a lecture, his voice deep and pleasant, his pace neither fast nor slow. He sighed and said in a low voice: "Life and death are of great importance. I remember telling you in class that in this world, there are only two things for which one might willingly die. One is to die for one's country and family, which fulfills loyalty and filial piety; the other is to die for a confidant, which fulfills oneself. Apart from these, any form of self-harm is an act of cowardice, do you understand?"

Although Director Zhao is very handsome and his expression appears quite amiable, Li Qian still feels inexplicably a bit afraid of him. When their eyes meet, she instinctively shrinks a little closer to Shen Wei.

Zhao Yunlan, being well-versed in the ways of the world and adept at reading people's expressions, keenly sensed an ambiguous awkwardness from Shen Wei's clumsy reaction. Fortunately, he did not intend to let this awkwardness develop in front of another person

Li Qian hugged her elbows, trembling all over, clenching her teeth tightly. As she approached, one could hear her teeth chattering with a "clack clack" sound.

What was the reason just now

Fortunately, although he is somewhat indifferent and unrestrained, his character is passably decent. While he is not picky about food, he is not to the extent of eating anything out of hunger. He has only one partner at a time, and he absolutely does not engage with multiple people simultaneously. He is a model lover who knows how to part amicably.

"And what about that little girl, what is going on with you?" Zhao Yunlan kindly gave him some time to adjust his mood, redirecting the conversation towards the girl who was sitting dazed on the ground. "Have you experienced a breakup? Did the teacher scold you? Did you fail your thesis or your exam? Tell me, you bunch of troublemakers, you eat and drink well all day long, yet you are so bored that you have nothing to do..."

Should we take direct action, or let it go

Shen Wei cleaned Zhao Yunlan's arm, applied medicine, and even attempted to wrap it with gauze, but this was firmly stopped by Zhao.

Shen Wei's complexion had not yet returned to normal, and he did not have time to respond.

Shen Wei is a person who immediately gives the impression that "he is very serious"

Zhao Yunlan was afraid of pressing down on him, so he propped himself up with his hand. As he lowered his head, he discovered that his wrist had actually been pinched blue by Shen Wei, and Shen Wei's embrace around his arms was almost squeezing down to the bone. In that instant, Zhao Yunlan had a strange illusion— it felt as if it was not a natural instinct to hold onto something when falling, but rather a tight embrace.

Shen Wei embraced him tightly, and the two of them fell to the ground simultaneously

Zhao Yunlan immediately responded: "That's right, did you hear what your teacher said? It's too dangerous, do you understand? Alright, stop crying, let's go down first, I need to take you to the school hospital for a check-up. In this situation, we must communicate well with your parents..."

Zhao Yunlan shifted back a bit uncomfortably and said: "Actually, just rinsing it with tap water would suffice"

Zhao Yunlan has always felt that he does not quite belong to the category of "same"; he can only say that his aesthetic range is somewhat broader than that of the average person, and he is also somewhat less reserved than the average person—both handsome men and beautiful women can pique his interest

Li Qian

"If something happens to others because of you, will you live with a guilty conscience in the future, or will you die with a guilty conscience?" Shen Wei asked in a deep voice

Shen Wei's eyelashes are very long, and when he lowers his head, he appears delicate and refined. The shape of his eyelids is so distinct that it seems as if it has been drawn. Perhaps it is because he wears glasses that obscure much of his features; at first glance, he does not stand out. Only upon careful observation can one appreciate his pleasing appearance

He glanced at Shen Wei and, seeing that Shen Wei had no other reaction, went over, bent down, and helped the girl, who could barely stand, up from the ground. Supporting her, he walked down from the rooftop. Once downstairs, he saw Guo Changcheng, who had been left there. However, this time, without waiting for the leader to speak, Daqing hurried over and delivered a flurry of "Tian Miao Meteor Claw" strikes to Guo Changcheng's face

He deliberately bit the character "人", while Daqing proudly licked his paws beside him, letting out a cheeky "meow", which made Guo Changcheng shiver.

Shen Wei set aside the small plate containing wet wipes and medicine, lowered his gaze, and without further ado, pulled over the arm that had been grazed, carefully rolled up the sleeve, and picked up the distilled water from the small tray

She glanced at Zhao Yunlan, then lowered her head again

At this moment, Shen Wei suddenly spoke, saying: "It is too dangerous."

Fortunately, Shen Wei only appears to be very refined, but his strength is exceptionally great

As soon as the words "possess" were uttered, Li Qian's face immediately turned pale as snow

Zhao Yunlan thought for a moment and continued, "How about this, I have a few matters to attend to. You take Da Qing and investigate the background of the deceased. Can you manage it alone?"
