Xin Xiaolu was doing homework in the library of H University. Today was a sunny day. Xin Xiaolu sat by the window, bathed in the sun. She was only sixteen years old, and her face still had the youthfulness of a young girl. She had black hair and white skin. She looked very well-behaved sitting there quietly, attracting the attention of many students around her.
"Little classmate, you are not from our school, right?" A boy suddenly sat down opposite Xin Xiaolu and asked with his chin in his hand. Although their school did not prohibit outsiders from coming in to study, it was quite rare to see a girl as young as this one.
Xin Xiaolu stopped writing and looked up at him.
The boy smiled and said, "I think you are only in high school at most. Why are you here in H University? Are you here to look for someone?"
Xin Xiaolu looked past the boy and behind him. Xin Yanlai, who had just returned from get out of class, came over with two books under his arm. "Xiaolu, let's go, let's go eat."
Xin Xiaolu put away her homework, and Xin Yanlai helped her pack up her headphones, pencil case, and reference books and put them in her bag. Xin Xiaolu opened her bag and motioned him to put his books in as well. Xin Yanlai put his own books in her bag, and naturally slung the bag over his shoulder, and left with Xin Xiaolu.
Boy: “…?” Excuse me? Can’t you see there’s a living person standing here
He returned to his roommates in a sullen manner, "My attempt to flirt with her failed. The boy just now should be her brother, right? Do you recognize him? Is he from our department?"
"I have some impression. I think he's a freshman in the Department of Architecture. The girls in our class have discussed about him. They said he was the most handsome guy in the department."
"There's a photo of him on our school's forum. Here, this is it—wow, the top student in the province got in, awesome!"
After leaving the library, Xin Yanlai took Xin Xiaolu to an old soup shop outside the school to drink nourishing soup. Since the two woke up in the hospital half a month ago, Xin Yanlai has been committed to nourishing Xin Xiaolu.
Half a month ago, the two fell unconscious one street away from Xin Xiaolu's school and were taken to the hospital by passers-by. Both were not injured and went home after waking up. Xin Yanlai did not remember all the horrific campus memories of that night. As Xin Xiaolu once said, it was like a vague dream to him.
Xin Yanlai did suspect that it was just a dream, but on the same day, a particularly horrific case occurred in Xin Xiaolu's school, and eight students died in the school in various ways.
Two drowned in the toilet next to the dormitory building; one died naked on the fifth floor of an uninhabited girls' dormitory; one cut off his tongue in an empty classroom in the teaching building and bled to death; one hanged himself under the basketball hoop in the playground; one ate countless unprocessed ingredients in the school cafeteria and starved himself to death; and two died in the school auditorium, having cut off their own flesh with the knives in their hands.
These strange deaths immediately caused a sensation. The police quickly blocked the specific information and even set up a special task force. They all suspected that it was a deliberate homicide and a cruel murderer. However, when they checked the surveillance cameras in several places in the school, everyone felt a chill down their spine. Although the surveillance cameras were not enough to monitor every corner of the school, there were several places where the surveillance cameras were always on, such as the teaching building.
The dead boy ran into the classroom in the teaching building alone and cut off his tongue with scissors. Everyone saw it clearly, but no one killed him. It seemed more like he was crazy.
In the end, there was no conclusion to the matter. The only thing announced to the public was that it was suicide. Also, because such a big incident happened in the school, all students were temporarily given a holiday.
Although the police and the school tried their best to conceal the specific circumstances, many students still found out some inside information, and many students dropped out one after another. Xin Xiaolu was one of them. Xin Yanlai went to help Xin Xiaolu drop out two days after the incident, making him one of the first batch of students to drop out.
After Xin Xiaolu dropped out of this school, Xin Yanlai did not rush to find another school for her, but let her have a good rest first. But he was worried about leaving her alone at home, so when he was in class, he let Xin Xiaolu read books and do homework in the library of his university.
Even after experiencing supernatural events that were enough to change his outlook on life and the world, Xin Yanlai did not relax his teaching and guidance to Xin Xiaolu. It can be said that he is very strong.
Xin Yanlai never asked Xin Xiaolu about the strange memories of that night, and he never talked about the strange death of eight people, as if he didn't remember what happened at all.
But Xin Xiaolu knew that he remembered, because she ran into this academic master brother who had been watching various types of ghost movies for half a month in a row, and seemed to be lost in thought while watching. There were many more books on his bookshelf, such as "The Strange World of Soul Magnetic Field" - he was worthy of being a brother, and seemed to be trying to use scientific methods to explain everything he encountered.
Xin Xiaolu didn't say anything, in fact, she herself didn't know what was going on. When she returned to the school, she found that staying in the toilet where she died would likely turn her back into a ghost. That night, she was first controlled by the evil spirit and killed someone. It was at that time that she realized that the whole school had changed and became the place she was most familiar with.
If I have to explain it, perhaps it is the transformation between the inner world and the outer world.
As for why she was able to leave in the end, Xin Xiaolu didn't understand, she only knew that she would never return to that place again. Xin Yanlai really brought her out.
He is such a magical brother who can bring evil spirits back to the human world.
The magical milk brother forced her to drink a lot of nourishing soup, insisting that she was anemic. Xin Xiaolu felt that he had misunderstood something. In fact, the blood around her when she was in the ghost state was not her own.
Why could Xin Yanlai so calmly accept the fact that her sister might be a ghost? Xin Xiaolu couldn't figure it out.
Both of them had things they couldn't figure out, but at the same time they both understood one thing, which was the feelings in each other's hearts.
At night, the two of them stayed in the living room in their home clothes. Xin Xiaolu was watching a new ghost movie released this year. The elusive female ghost on the screen appeared from the mirror in front of the protagonist and smiled faintly.
Xin Yanlai was writing an application to join the party nearby. He glanced at the screen and asked calmly, "Xiaolu, do you still want to go to school?"
"Oh my god." Xin Xiaolu pressed the fast forward button. This scene was not scary at all, so he had to play it at double the speed.
"I understand. You can choose the school you want to go to next." Xin Yanlai took off his glasses, put away the application form for joining the party, and sat on the sofa.
Xin Xiaolu shook his head and looked directly at Xin Yanlai, "It doesn't matter anymore. It doesn't matter to me which school I go to."
Xin Yanlai finally showed some relaxation. He understood what Xin Xiaolu meant.
Two months later, Xin Xiaolu was re-enrolled and maintained his top grade for two consecutive years. Xin Yanlai, the tutor who also served as a parent, had an extraordinary talent for urging people to study hard and make progress every day. The effect of tutoring Xin Xiaolu was so good that in his senior year, Xin Xiaolu's class teacher tried to get him to set up an extracurricular tutoring class to help other students in the class with good basic skills to improve their skills. Of course, Xin Yanlai refused.
He was very busy. When Xin Xiaolu was in his third year of high school, he was preparing for an internship in advance. With his solid professional knowledge, he had found an excellent private studio in the industry for internship and participated in a large-scale architectural design with his predecessors.
If it wasn't Xin Xiaolu, if it was anyone else, Xin Yan would never be willing to spend his time on it.
When Xin Xiaolu was taking the college entrance examination, Xin Yanlai was there to send her off as her parent. Like many overly worried parents, he waited outside the examination room and took a special leave for this purpose. In the hot summer, Xin Xiaolu walked among the young students who were leaving the examination room together, and saw Xin Yanlai at a glance.
A tall and straight young man in his early twenties waved at her. Although his face was cold and solemn, it looked like melted milk ice cream in the sun, sweet and refreshing.
Xin Xiaolu was admitted to H University without any doubt and became a senior and junior of Xin Yanlai. When Xin Xiaolu entered H University as a freshman, Xin Yanlai was already preparing to graduate.
University is a brand new experience for Xin Xiaolu. She once again distances herself from the previous world of evil spirits, as if she were a new person.
But... sometimes the human world is much more cruel than the ghost world, such as the college entrance examination that Xin Xiaolu just went through, and the military training for college entrance that he will soon go through. Thinking back to the past, after the military training with little brother Xin Yanlai, Xin Xiaolu couldn't call him milk brother anymore, after all, there was no milk that black.
Now, Xin Xiaolu also has to endure this catastrophe. When he was sweating all over under the sun on the playground, Xin Xiaolu thought expressionlessly, is this military training aimed at ghosts? Is it to use the sun to kill the ghosts mixed among humans
During the military training on campus, Xin Yan came back and forth to the school several times. The first time he came back, he stood outside the military training ground and watched for a long time, attracting many younger students to watch. As the former president of the H University Student Union and a well-known academic master, his name was not only known to everyone in the school, but also widely circulated.
"Senior, why are you back to school? Are you back to see your teacher?" someone asked curiously.
Xin Yanlai shook his head, "No, I came to see... my girlfriend."
Seeing Xin Xiaolu and her team disband, Xin Yanlai came forward with water. Xin Xiaolu refused to take the water, squatting on the spot with sweat all over her face, panting. Xin Yanlai took out a tissue and soaked it in water to wipe the sweat off her face, and lifted the wet hair off her forehead, "Are your legs sore? I'll massage them for you when we get home, otherwise it will definitely hurt tomorrow."
Seeing that her face was wilted by the sun, Xin Yanlai suddenly took out his mobile phone and took a picture of her.
He set this horribly ugly photo as his screen saver.
Xin Xiaolu lifted her hair and said, "Brother, can't you change one?"
Xin Yanlai was stunned, took out his phone and looked at it, showing satisfaction, "Isn't this one cute?"
On the day Xin Xiaolu came of age, Xin Yanlai took her to see the newly built city museum and took a photo in front of the strangely and colorful side hall building on the left side of the door.
"This is the first completed project I've participated in. I designed this small part, and I wanted to show you." Xin Yanlai was a little embarrassed. He stood there for a long time, attracting the attention of countless passers-by. Then he finally took out the flowers he had prepared and confessed to his sweetheart whom he had secretly loved for many years.
Facing her confession, Xin Xiaolu said: "Didn't I promise you three years ago?"
Xin Yanlai waited for her answer: "... What?" What three years ago
Xin Xiaolu: "Then I'll promise you again."
…
At the age of 25, Xin Xiaolu received a gift, a bright duplex villa located on the beach, which was designed entirely by Xin Yan and was modified for five years before it was finally completed.
They held their wedding here this summer.
Xin Yanlai brought the string of shell wind chimes that was hanging in her grandfather's old house to their new home and hung it up again. In the night sea breeze, the wind chimes collided and made a ding-ding sound that Xin Xiaolu was very familiar with. With her childhood sweetheart brother by her side, she could finally have a sweet dream.
