Ruan Qing wanted to expressionlessly discard the note, but his character didn’t allow him to do so.
His delicate face blushed slightly, and then he fiercely glared at Qi Yunshen sitting in the front row.
However, due to the blushing face and the teardrop mole at the corner of his eye, even glaring lacked any intimidation, it felt more like exchanging glances with affection.
Carrying a hint of seduction.
Qi Yunshen looked at the glaring young man, touched his upper palate with his tongue, and lightly chuckled.
The smile carried an unprecedented delight, making it hard for people to look away.
Apparently, the young man didn’t catch on.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t be blushing and glaring, but rather fearing others discovering.
Great.
He thought his brother might do something excessive to the young man in the ghost domain.
It seemed the young man was destined to belong only to him.
He and the young man naturally belonged to each other.
Qi Yunshen, still not angered by the young man crumpling the note, tore off another piece of scrap paper, continuing to write.
[Xia Qing, I’m currently single. Would you consider me?]
Qi Yunshen still didn’t receive a response. He glanced at the young man who was ignoring him and wrote another line.
[I’m much better than Shen Yu’an. What he can do for you, I can do it as well. What he can’t, I can. I can also help you with the matters related to the pen spirit. You probably don’t want to enter the ghost domain again, right? I can help you.]
Ruan Qing paused; Qi Yunshen indeed had a way to avoid entering the ghost domain.
This time, he picked up the pen and wrote a line.
[Are you the younger brother of the pen spirit?]
Qi Yunshen, seeing the words, furrowed his brows. Had the young man touched that piano?
His brother would blur out everything about him, and by extension, obscuring himself as well.
If it hadn’t been for that illusion, no one would have known he was the pen spirit’s brother.
That young man... did he know that it was he who used those four people to kill his brother?
A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Qi Yunshen’s deep eyes. He blamed the Qi family for only having one heir, and that heir wasn’t him.
No one could endure looking twenty but still resembling a six or seven-year-old.
Clearly, he was born just a minute later than his brother.
No, when he was at the Qi family’s main residence, besides his brother, no one should know about this matter.
So, did the young man see him in the illusion?
Qi Yunshen tugged at the corner of his mouth, letting out a silent, bitter laugh. His brother really went to great lengths, not even staying put in a past illusion.
You see, he never went to the First University initially, and people entering the illusion couldn’t leave the First University. So, it could only be his brother who altered the illusion, bringing people to the villa.
But unfortunately, he didn’t sense any connection between the young man and his brother.
It seemed like his brother’s plan had failed.
His brother, apart from being born a minute earlier, seemed to be a failure.
The satisfaction deepened in Qi Yunshen’s eyes. Without any concealment, he directly wrote ‘yes’ on the paper.
The young man would become a member of the Qi family in the future, and sooner or later, he would know this.
He and his brother were twins of fate, a case of one soul splitting into two bodies.
The Qi family never gave birth to true twins; it was always one soul dividing into two people.
In this situation, their destinies were intertwined.
Either they lived together or died together.
His initial plan to kill his brother, and to avoid his own death, involved obtaining his brother’s heart.
But unexpectedly, that heart disappeared.
His brother died, and he was destined to die too.
He had survived until now only by using forbidden techniques, forcibly extending his life.
He didn’t want to die, so he had to retrieve that heart.
The heart belonged to the older brother; only the older brother could sense it.
And only the older brother could retrieve it.
So, he told the boy who secretly admired the school flower that the summoning ritual could bring back her soul.
In reality, the summoning ritual he told them about could only bring back vengeful spirits, and the school flower, despite her tragic death, did not become one.
The one to be summoned would be his older brother.
To make his brother obediently search for the heart, he cursed his brother’s remains, ensuring that he could never retrieve the heart.
If the heart wasn’t found, he could never leave the ghost domain.
And thus, he could never seek revenge.
In this way, he believed his brother would strive to find the heart.
After all, his brother was very eager to kill him.
Ruan Qing paused when he saw Qi Yunshen’s reply. He initially thought Qi Yunshen would deny it.
But that’s probably the extent of it; Qi Yunshen wouldn’t answer any more questions.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have just written a simple ‘yes.’
Ruan Qing gave up directly, patting the small knife in his arms, waiting for the opportunity after class.
As long as he injures Qi Yunshen once, he could examine the blood and wounds to determine if his situation was similar to the pen spirit’s.
If it was, then the other must be closely connected to the pen spirit.
If not, he would have to investigate further.
Qi Yunshen, looking at the silent young man with no response, tore off another piece of draft paper and began writing.
However, before Qi Yunshen could finish writing, someone snatched away his draft paper.
The one taking the draft paper was the professor teaching the class.
Qi Yunshen was sitting in the first row, and the old professor naturally saw the blatant passing of the note a long time ago.
But little did he expect that despite the escalating note-passing, Qi Yunshen didn’t pay him any attention.
The professor held the draft paper and read it aloud.
“Xia Qing, don’t you reconsider my proposal?”
“I have a blank emotional history, with no romantic experiences or messy relationships. I can transform into the person you like.”
Qi Yunshen stood up, wanting to snatch back the draft paper, but the old professor seemed to be on guard, taking several steps back with the paper in hand.
Qi Yunshen was sitting in the front row, surrounded on both sides, with desks in front. As the old professor retreated, he moved out of Qi Yunshen’s reach.
In the presence of many people, Qi Yunshen couldn’t do anything out of the ordinary. He could only allow the old professor to read it out.
“I consider myself superior in all aspects compared to others. However, currently, I lack experience in sexual matters. But at 22, practicing will definitely make me better than anyone else.”
The old professor finished reading and gave Qi Yunshen a sarcastic glance. “22?”
“Better than anyone else?”
The classmates in the classroom had burst into laughter when the professor started reading, and by the time he reached 22, their laughter had become painful.
It turned out that the school grass’ confession was this comical.
They had always thought Qi Yunshen was the unattainable type.
The old professor pushed his glasses and handed the draft paper back. “Qi Yunshen, can I ask if this 22 refers to your age or something else?”
Qi Yunshen didn’t answer and expressionlessly took back his draft paper.
The old professor looked at the boy sitting at the back, his tone teasing. “Xia Qing, did you hear Qi Yunshen’s confession?”
The old professor seemed to recall something and, before Ruan Qing could answer, kindly reminded, “By the way, Qi Yunshen seems to be 20 years old this year.”
Ruan Qing: “...”
