Chapter Nine, the fifteenth day of July marks the opening of the Ghost Gate
Xie Caiwei said, while embracing Du Siyu's shoulders: "Alright, Siyu, the truth of the matter will naturally be revealed in due time. I estimate that it won't be long before Ding Ermiao calls me."
My wife, Ji Xiaoxiao, said that she is studying at the Business School. So I will go to the Business School
"You silly girl, always talking nonsense!" Xie Caiwei pinched Du Siyu's cheek and said, "I just want to understand this person better. If he really has the ability... well, forget it, I won't say anymore"
"Well then, goodbye Sister Caiwei, goodbye, light beauty." Ding Ermiao smiled and waved, turning to walk towards the entrance of the Business School
"Wait a moment, how about this: let's refuel at the front, and then I'll take you over," Song Jiahao said with a sheepish smile. "After all, it won't take much of a detour."
Du Siyu in the car also responded, "Cousin, I will go with you." As she spoke, she had already opened the car door
It seems that my wife is also unreliable, and now I am left with no money. Where should I go for dinner and sleep tonight?" Ding Ermiao wandered aimlessly along the road in front of the Business College.
Xie Caiwei seemed unconcerned, and calmly asked: "Er Miao, there are a total of three universities in the university town, namely the School of Computer Science, the School of Business, and the School of Logistics. Which place do you want to go to?"
"I can't be bothered to deal with you," Ding Ermiao sighed. "If you don't believe me, you can ask Ji Xiaoxiao yourself later."
In front of the Business School, Ding Ermiao got out of the car
Du Siyu pouted and said: "So what if I found you? Could it be that my cousin wants to... develop something with him?"
Certainly, regarding the matter of Ding Ermiao saving himself, Song Jiahao remained skeptical, and in fact, did not believe it at all
My sister is really nice to me. Ding Ermiao chuckled and took the business card, stuffing it into his pocket
As they approached the university town, Xie Caiwei asked, "By the way, Ding Ermiao, do you have a phone?"
However, now, Xie Caiwei has to personally take Ding Ermiao to the university town, leaving Song Jiahao feeling both awkward and helpless
After a series of disappointments, Ding Ermiao felt somewhat dejected. This season, Xiaoxiao had once said that as long as one inquired in front of the Business School, they would be able to find her. However, now, after inquiring for a long time, there was no clue at all
He just asked the security office, and the guard informed him that Ji Xiaoxiao has not been to school for a long time, as it is currently the summer vacation. Moreover, the guard also does not know Ji Xiaoxiao's home address or phone number
The taxi turned around and left, while Xie Caiwei gazed at Ding Ermiao's figure through the car window, slightly lost in thought.
Du Siyu wanted to argue further, but was silenced by a glance from Xie Caiwei
Cousin, I see this guy is acting all mysterious; he is just a con artist. Du Siyu shook her head and said, "Ji Xiaoxiao, how could she possibly be his wife? You graduated from the Business School too; Ji Xiaoxiao is your junior. Her parents and uncle also have business dealings, right? Why don't you use your connections to ask around? I just don't believe this guy's nonsense.
Thank you for your concern. Xie Caiwei nodded slightly, her smile serene
Ding Ermiao echoed, "Yes, yes, yes, I can just take a taxi with Sister Caiwei. It's not convenient to talk when I'm with you"
You ... ... " Song Jiahao was left speechless, his face turning pale.
"You are so foolish. It is summer vacation now, and Ding Ermiao is in the university town, so how could he possibly find Ji Xiaoxiao? Moreover, I heard from my dad that Ji Xiaoxiao's whole family has gone abroad for vacation and won't be back for a while." Xie Caiwei said confidently, "Ding Ermiao is broke and unfamiliar with the place; when he encounters difficulties, he will come looking for me."
Ding Ermiao chuckled, "Sister Caiwei, just call me Ermiao, it feels more intimate this way. I don't have a phone, never have."
As they were speaking, a taxi returning to the city drove over. Xie Caiwei hailed the taxi, waved to Song Jiahao, and, together with Ding Ermiao and Du Siyu, got into the taxi and left swiftly.
Ding Ermiao did not give up on the search and continued to inquire in front of the school gate. Although it was summer vacation, there were still quite a few students remaining on campus. However, those scattered college students, upon hearing that Ding Ermiao was looking for Ji Xiaoxiao, all displayed expressions of surprise, and then shook their heads slightly before leaving.
The taxi traversed more than half of the mountainous city, taking nearly an hour to reach the northwestern suburbs. The university town is situated here
At this moment, Ding Ermiao was troubled in front of the Business School.
As soon as Song Jiahao entered the city, he planned to abandon Ding Ermiao. He was merely a country boy hitching a ride, and he felt that he had already been more than generous in his actions.
"Country bumpkin, it would be best if I don't encounter you in the city, or you will have a hard time!" Song Jiahao gritted his teeth as he watched the taxi drive away, a hint of ferocity flashing in his eyes
No, I actually think that Ding Ermiao is quite capable. " Xie Caiwei said with a slight frown, pondering: "Today, you also saw what happened with Song Jiahao; Ding Ermiao indeed has his methods.
I have also had this doubt, but I did not express it, after all, we have no evidence. What if it is not like that? They have helped us, yet we accuse them. Wouldn't that be repaying kindness with enmity?
Even if they know, the security personnel would not casually inform Ding Ermiao, would they
Although she is not in the same institution, Du Siyu is still aware of Ji Xiaoxiao. Ji Xiaoxiao is known as the most beautiful woman in the university town, and her family business is substantial. How could such a wealthy and beautiful person possibly take an interest in an unsophisticated person like him? Moreover, Ji Xiaoxiao is still a university student; it is unlikely that she is already married
Du Siyu couldn't help but frown and asked, "Hey, hey, don't just brag casually, Ji Xiaoxiao, is she really your wife?"
Du Siyu glared at Ding Ermiao and muttered, "I have truly never seen someone as shameless as you."
Originally, for Song Jiahao, today was supposed to be a romantic journey, but it was disrupted by Ding Ermiao, who boarded the vehicle halfway. What was even more infuriating was that along the way, this country bumpkin Ding Ermiao was actually flirting and joking with the goddess in his heart, laughing and giggling. Song Jiahao wished he could kick this thorn in his eye and flesh to the other side of the Earth.
Du Siyu curled her lips and said, "Hmph, I suspect that Song Jiahao's sudden fainting was the result of Ding Ermiao's actions when he first tried to stop the car. He did this to take advantage of our ride."
"Never mind, I can take a taxi. You should head back first." Xie Caiwei smiled faintly
"Why?" Du Siyu asked
Uh... alright, Er Miao. "Xie Caiwei took out a business card from her bag: "This is my phone number. If you need any assistance, you can call me.
Song Jiahao and Xie Caiwei are both locals and university classmates. They graduated together a year ago, having come out of Tianfu University City. Song Jiahao has been pursuing Xie Caiwei, but she has never agreed to his advances.
Through the car window, he said to Xie Caiwei: "Sister Caiwei, that Song Jiahao has ulterior motives; it would be best for you to keep your distance from him. Also, the day after tomorrow is the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month, which is the Ghost Festival. During these days, the gates of the underworld are wide open, so it is advisable to avoid remote places."
