Chapter 92: Binding Snake Bodhi

"I'm a bit tired, let's rest for a while."

"Okay, sister-in-law."

……

Su Mian took a deep breath, leaned forward, and pressed on step by step. She looked serious, arms crossed, trying her best to put herself in a dominant position; this way, the possibility of getting information out was higher.

"I know your secret."

"I saw you in the tool room that day. Besides being your boss, do you have any other relationship with Zhou Ye?"

Yi Junxi was stunned by the question. Su Mian was secretly happy; perhaps she had hit the point. This trip was quite worth it.

As a result, Yi Junxi's dull face became redder and redder, redder and redder, and finally, he bit his lip and used the books to cover his face.

"Sister-in-law, don't look at me like that..."

Su Mian:...

Not a buddy.

She thought her performance was seamless earlier, what was this look?

After a long while, Yi Junxi revealed a pair of innocent eyes. He sighed.

"That day... it was you confessing, right?"

"Don't be afraid! I didn't die."

He waved his hand, afraid Su Mian would mistake him for a ghost. Yi Junxi looked around and then quietly moved over to whisper to her.

"I faked my death."

Su Mian was somewhat surprised, "Why did you do that?"

Yi Junxi sighed, "You know about the Twenty-Four Curse, right? The boss became the school heartthrob. It was rumored in the school that Zhou Ye was going to die, and also that Yu Fanghao was really lucky and could become the number one in the district immediately."

Su Mian paused, only then reacting that Yu Fanghao was Jingzhe. Ever since she had a code name, she had never addressed her by the name in the script.

"The number one in the district can be directly recommended! Sigh, I'm really envious of her... If I were—"

Su Mian waved her hand in front of Yi Junxi. This guy seemed to have been immersed in the world of becoming the number one in the district. His smile grew bigger and bigger, and his eyes became more and more drifting.

"Ah! Sorry, I drifted too far."

"So I suggested trying to fake death to see if we could deceive the curse."

"The boss and I were experimenting that day. I didn't expect you to suddenly walk in."

"You ran so fast, we didn't have time to explain."

Su Mian hesitated.

She didn't see that guy wanted to explain; he purely wanted to scare her.

Really boring.

She coughed lightly, suddenly remembering the scene where she took the initiative to hug Zhou Ye in the tool room, and a wave of heat surged onto her face.

"Is sister-in-law going to find the boss?"

"No, no, no..."

Su Mian waved her hand and thanked him, turning to leave, but was pulled by her sleeve by Yi Junxi.

"He seems a bit unhappy these past two days. Sister-in-law, find time to coax him."

He smiled, "Thank you for your hard work."

After saying that, Yi Junxi hugged his books and went upstairs, finally disappearing into the crowd.

Su Mian stood in place, putting her hands in her pockets. When she first heard him say these words, her first thought was, what does it have to do with her?

But what followed was an inexplicable sense of unease. He was unhappy—could he be happy if she went to coax him?

Maybe?

Was it also her reason that Zhou Ye didn't appear at the scene as DM during the reasoning session yesterday?

A bunch of questions poured out. She suddenly really wanted to know, if Zhou Ye was angry, would he have a cold face? She had never seen him have a cold face.

Hiss... seems a bit curious.

If he had a cold face, what would he do to her?

"Luo Yi, you made me angry. I want to punish you."

"Mm... here, will you cry if I go all the way?"

"... Such obedient tears."

"I hope their owner is just as obedient."

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Su Mian shook her head, a strand of hair sticking up. The whole person didn't know what kind of scene she was thinking of, and her earlobes were red.

It was that damn character setting buff acting up again. She didn't watch any of those movies, and she was so asexual she even despised herself. Could she think of those scenes?

Chi Luoyi's character setting was driving her.

The unspeakable girl's secrets, the hidden surging taboo explorations—for a girl who had just become an adult, it was addictive, and desire was fatal.

Su Mian's worldview was under reconstruction...

Finally, she couldn't take it anymore and covered her face. However, she saw that Yi Junxi hadn't finished taking his things.

The box on the storage rack seemed to have fallen out of the books—a flat square, with a string of green prayer beads inside.

The quality was excellent, the beads smooth and round, looking very valuable.

Su Mian leaned in to look and found that it wasn't a brand name on the box, but seemed to be the name of this bracelet.

Binding Snake Bodhi.

Not knowing what it was, Su Mian stuffed it into her pocket, planning to return it to him next time.

The next day, Su Mian didn't have any more nightmares, so she got up as soon as the bell rang. After a simple wash, she unexpectedly became the first person to leave the dorm.

The early bird catches the worm.

Of course, Su Mian never believed this sentence. The late worm gets eaten by the bird, so the late bird also gets the worm.

Just as she went downstairs, Su Mian saw a familiar figure under the dorm building. Zhou Ye wasn't wearing a school uniform today, having changed into a black half-high-neck shirt.

The clothes were a bit tight, and the outline of his chest muscles was faintly visible. Wearing glasses, he possessed both a sense of youth and maturity, looking like a refined scoundrel. Standing with Su Mian, who was wearing a white shirt, the two were inexplicably a match.

But now, as soon as she saw him, Su Mian remembered the ghost-like scenes in her brain yesterday, and her eyes didn't know where to look for a moment.

"So early today, Luo Yi."

He handed the breakfast to Su Mian, still wearing a bright and gentle smile.

Su Mian observed Zhou Ye's expression, unable to figure it out.

This didn't look like he was unhappy. At least ordinary people wouldn't have a smile on their face when they were unhappy.

Su Mian, immersed in her own thinking, didn't notice at all that Zhou Ye's expression was somewhat puzzled.

"Is there something dirty on my face?"

Su Mian snapped back to reality, "No, let's go."

She had to get to the classroom before the other three arrived, otherwise, if their relationship was exposed, it would attract attention. So Su Mian pulled Zhou Ye toward the teaching building, becoming a scenery on the road.

There was no one on the shaded path. The sky at seven o'clock wasn't fully bright yet. Between the tree light were hazy lights. When the wind blew, camphor and holly leaves scattered down.

A wild cat suddenly jumped out, scaring Su Mian. Her footsteps were unstable, and she retreated. A pair of hands supported her lower back, giving her support.

A faint sound came from the ground. The bracelet that Yi Junxi had dropped yesterday fell out of Su Mian's pocket.

She just wanted to pick it up, but that hand slowly gripped her waist, making her unable to bend down.

"Luo Yi... why do you have this necklace?"

Intuition told Su Mian that Zhou Ye's tone was very bad now.

Although she saw the raised corner of his mouth from the corner of her eye, the sudden low pressure made her unable to breathe.

"You..." what's wrong?

Before the last three words could be spoken, she felt a familiar, damp breath wrap around her.

From her canvas shoes upward, a long, winding object wrapped around her ankles, wandering, tightening, and she could faintly feel the existence of scales.

Her throat tightened, her neck stiffened, and only her eyes spontaneously looked down. ===== CHAPTER 93 =====
