Chapter 23: Orchid Fragrance Drunken

  Looking at Gu Xiao Yue's gaze directed at him, Xie Fei Yu's heart "thudded" once, had she begun to suspect him?

  "Old editor, are you saying I've gotten myself into something dirty?" Xie Feiyu asked with a feigned look of terror.

  "Xie Feiyu, don't be too nervous, I just meant to ask if you've noticed anything unusual around you, it's not that you must have gotten yourself into something dirty." Gu Xiaoyue saw Xie Feiyu's terrified expression and felt a bit guilty, so she spoke to comfort him.

  Although technology is now advanced and atheism dominates, there are still many phenomena that cannot be explained by science. This is the basis for the survival of magazines like "Urban Legends". After working in this field for several years, Gu Xiaoyue has indeed come into contact with many unbelievable people and things, which has made her particularly sensitive to abnormal people and events. Her interest in this unknown realm has grown to a near-fanatical level. So when Shangguan Tong told her about yesterday's incident as a joke, her sensitive nerves caught the suspicious points and pursued them.

  To be honest, at first, she didn't set her sights on Xie Feiyu in this matter, after all, he was too young. If there was anything unusual about him, the characteristic of young people loving to show off would have made it difficult for him to keep any secrets, and it should have been discovered by others long ago. However, during dinner, when she heard that strange bet about racing with a sedan, she became interested in Xie Feiyu, especially after that originally normal sedan first couldn't start, then became impossible to push. So she still didn't want to give up on this lead, maybe digging deeper would be another one of her glorious achievements.

  "Xie Feiyu, have you been ill recently, had a high fever or anything? Or been electrocuted, struck by lightning?" Gu Xiaoyue reminded.

  "No, I'm very healthy, and I rarely get a cold. It's been years since I last went to the hospital. All my classmates and these fat guys can vouch for me." Xie Feiyu replied.

  "So have you felt like there's some kind of mysterious power helping you lately?"

  "No, but I feel like I've been particularly lucky lately." Xie Feiyu said with a pretended thoughtful tone.

  "Come on, let's talk!" As soon as these words were spoken, not only did Gu Xiao's eyes light up, but the spirits of everyone present also lifted.

  "I bought a 10-yuan lottery ticket last month and actually won a prize."

  "How much did you get?" everyone asked in unison.

  "5 yuan."

  "Cut!" The crowd let out a collective sigh of disappointment.

  "To be honest, I've been helping my mom buy lottery tickets for years, and we haven't even won two bucks."

  "Even if you won 50 cents, it doesn't mean your luck is particularly good."

  "But I won again last week."

  "Got another five yuan?"

  "No."

  "Did I win the grand prize? How much?"

  "Two dollars."

  "Cut!" The crowd was thoroughly disappointed, and even those who had won 25 cents were taken out to offer, still had the nerve to say they were lucky, which just goes to show how unlucky this person was.

  Despite this, after dinner, Gu Xiao Yue still forcibly got Xie Fei Yu's phone number and repeatedly instructed him to call her if he found anything.

  After finishing the two-day exam, Xie Feiyu was taken to an internet cafe by Pangzi to "relax" on the same night. While chatting on QQ and playing games, it suddenly became 12 o'clock. Pangzi's interest in gaming was still strong and refused to leave, but Xie Feiyu found himself getting more and more bored as he played, so he got up and decided to head back to school to sleep first.

  Out of the internet cafe, the midnight cold wind blew, and Xie Feiyu finally felt a bit clearer. In all these years, he had learned everything except how to smoke, but being surrounded by second-hand smoke in the internet cafe made him feel dizzy and heavy-headed.

  He had just turned into a small alley when the sound of laughter from up ahead made him stop in his tracks.

  "Little sister, have you been drinking? Let us brothers send you home?"

  "Right, little sister, come with me, I'll take you home."

  "You're all nothing... nothing good people, all want... want to bully... me!" a loud and clear female voice replied.

  It's those hoodlums again, always lurking in the alleys to intercept single or drunken women. And at this hour, a woman who is still out drinking won't be any good either. Xie Feiyu knew that these young thugs were all mixed up with gangs, and he didn't want to get into trouble, so he thought of taking a detour.

  But just as he was about to retreat quietly, he stopped again. Because he thought of a question, if he saved this woman, wouldn't it be considered a heroic act? How many ability points would the super system reward him with? Thinking of this, Xie Feiyu quietly moved forward again, making up his mind that if there were no more than three people on the other side, he still had a chance of success with a surprise attack, but if there were more people, he would turn around and leave.

  Under the dim streetlights, Xie Feiyu saw several figures looming in front of him. He counted them and found that there were exactly three. Xie Feiyu's heart calmed down, and he pretended to be a passerby, walking forward with a carefree air.

  "Ah," the woman cried out in surprise, apparently having been touched by someone. "Don't move me!"

  Why does this voice sound so familiar? Xie Feiyu's heart skipped a beat, and his feet naturally quickened their pace.

  As he got closer, Xie Feiyu's footsteps came to an abrupt halt, because he had already made out who the disheveled woman was. It was actually their class teacher, Lan Xing, that icy woman who always seemed as cold as a glacier.

  Thinking that he had sneaked out to go online, going back and forth, wasn't that just jumping into the net? Xie Feiyu's footsteps moved backward again. It's better to call the police over.

  He pulled out his phone and checked the time, 12:16. When would the police arrive? What if they didn't make it in time, wouldn't that be too unfair to Lan teacher? Thinking of the "Jin Ping Mei" she gave him, Xie Feiyu hesitated again.

  "Get out of my way, I want to go back!" Lan Xing wildly waved the small package in her hand, but those few people didn't take her seriously at all. They didn't immediately pounce on her, only playing with her for their own amusement.

  "Sister, look at you, you're so drunk, let us brothers send you home." A small ruffian suddenly appeared beside Lan Xiang and seized the opportunity to grab her around the waist with both hands.

  "Help!" Lan Xing shouted loudly, her sharp voice echoing through the alley.

  "Cough, cough", a light turned on in a small building next door, and a man's head poked out of the window to look down.

  "What are you looking at? I'm just joking with my girlfriend! Keep staring and I'll set your house on fire, believe it or not?" Another young punk with a long scar above his eyebrow and long hair yelled back.

  "Bang," the window closed again, and then even the lights went out.

  "Damn it, just die already, can't just watch Teacher Lan being bullied." Xie Feiyu looked around and wanted to find something handy, but couldn't find anything, so he ended up picking up a small flower pot from the windowsill of a house and walked forward with it in hand.
