Chapter 21: Looking for someone (on)

Views:

As soon as I got back to the dormitory, the boss in the dormitory surrounded me before my butt was hot, and smiled at me.

"What did you do when you went out? I haven't seen you all day. Be honest! Did you go out to ask a girl?"

I was so tired and sore, I didn't have the energy to talk to him, "What are you talking about, why are you thinking about all these things in your head? Didn't I say it yesterday, I went out to work."

"Part-time job? Why did you start part-time job as soon as school started?" The boss asked curiously, "What kind of job?"

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but roll my eyes wildly, and said while rubbing my arms, "Grab the medicine."

"Huo, it's quite powerful, Xiaosi."

"What's so great, it's just being tricked into doing hard work." I complained.

The boss smiled, "I saw that you were holding a small cloth bag in your hand when you came back. It was very delicate. I thought it was given to you by a girl."

"Me? Come on. I don't have that peach blossom." But when he mentioned it like this, it reminded me of the existence of Xiaobao. I took it out of my pocket and unwrapped the handkerchief, revealing the round pebble inside, and showed it to the boss.

"Have you ever seen this rock?" I asked.

The boss looked at me suspiciously, "I've seen it before. Isn't this just an ordinary cobblestone. You can go to Beitonghe Heti to look for it, and you can pick up a basket."

I sighed and had to put the stone away again. He tilted his head back in the chair, a little frustrated.

"Boss, tell me. Have you ever felt like you wanted to find someone, but you didn't know how to find them?"

Although the boss was baffled by my question, he still thought about it seriously, "Huh? This... Is it right? It turns out that I met a very beautiful girl on the train. I was in the same carriage with her and chatted for a long time. As a result, she arrived at the station before I had time to ask for her QQ number, and now I feel very regretful."

I rolled my eyes where the boss couldn't see, didn't say anything, and climbed onto the bed.

There was nothing to say all night, and the temperature dropped slightly the next day, not as muggy as the first day. I got out of bed early, dressed and washed, brushing my teeth while thinking about how to find this impossible person. To be honest, my heart is still full of breath. Wen Jiubai is so calm about this matter, so I have to find this person out and show him.

That being said, how do I find it... I was thinking about it as I walked out of the dormitory building. I didn't expect that after taking only two steps, I bumped into someone.

"Ouch." The person who was hit yelled, rubbing his head, "Why don't you look at the road when you walk—eh? Gu Yu?"

I just raised my head and saw that the person I bumped into was none other than Shi Yitong. Shi Yitong was wearing a pair of gaudy sneakers, a pair of gray shorts and a blue T-shirt—I'm really too lazy to complain about this guy's straight male aesthetics. But what was more surprising was that Su Xiaoyun also followed behind him. The complexions of both of them were not very good, and they all had a pair of dark circles under their eyes, as if they hadn't slept well.

"Shi Yitong, Su Xiaoyun? Why are you here?" I asked strangely, "And what's wrong with you, you look exhausted."

"Damn!" Shi Yitong was about to hit me when he came up, "What are you talking about in a serious manner! I didn't expect you to be this kind of person!"

I laughed twice and hid aside, Su Xiaoyun spoke at this moment.

"No, it's actually Gulu who has a stomachache." Su Xiaoyun said helplessly, "We spent a whole night with him in the hospital yesterday, and barely slept. We just went back to school now."

I was taken aback, "What's going on?"

"This... is actually my problem." Shi Yitong scratched his head in embarrassment, and said in frustration, "Didn't Goddess Su say yesterday that she was going to buy cat food for Gulu? It happened to be in the afternoon and I finished my thesis. Just, let’s just go with you.”

Su Xiaoyun sighed, "In the end, this idiot mistakenly took cat food as turtle food, and he had already fed it to Gulu before I realized it."

"That's because the packaging of the two kinds of pet food is so similar... Goddess, I'm sorry!" Shi Yitong raised his hands high above his head, and apologized exaggeratedly, "I didn't take good care of the little prince Gulu! It's all my fault !"

I watched from the sidelines dumbfounded, this drama was too deep.

"Just be careful not to be so careless next time. Besides, you also helped pay the medical expenses, so Gulu is fine now. If you want to make up for me, please treat me to dinner next time." Su Xiaoyun sighed.

Shi Yitong's eyes lit up, and he nodded like a chicken pecking rice, "Okay, okay, no problem."

"Speaking of which, what are you going out for so early?" Su Xiaoyun changed the subject and looked at me, "Isn't today the weekend? Why don't you sleep in in the dormitory?"

"This is because..." I subconsciously squeezed the pebble in my pocket, "I have to find someone today."

"Looking for someone? Who is it?" Shi Yitong also asked curiously.

I glanced at Su Xiaoyun, because of the existence of this outsider girl, it's hard for me to tell the whole story. So he simply said that half was hidden and half was hidden, and Wen Jiubai was portrayed as a third-rate detective.

"... So, now I have to help my boss find the 'god' that the old woman said." After I finished speaking, I shrugged.

Su Xiaoyun was very surprised after hearing this, "Will detectives accept such unreliable commissions now?"

"Uh, this one, he didn't pick it up. In fact, I was the one who took over the entrustment." I took out the pebble from my pocket a little depressed, "I think no matter whether the person the old lady met was a fairy or not , this matter must be of great significance to her. Even if there is little information, I want to try it."

"That's right, no matter what, this is a matter related to her daughter's life." Su Xiaoyun agreed, but at the same time she felt a little regretful, "It's a pity that Gulu is not here at this time."

"What's the deal with Gollum?"

"Gulu is the best at doing this kind of thing." Su Xiaoyun nodded, "Black cats are all psychic, don't you know? You have a token in your hand, it should be very convenient for Gulu to find it. Unfortunately, this little The guy is still lying in the hospital now."

"That's it..." The glimmer of hope that had just been ignited was quickly shattered, and I was not only a little disappointed.

"How about this, let's help you find it together!" At this time, Su Xiaoyun suggested again.

"What?" Shi Yitong objected immediately, "No, Sister Goddess, we didn't sleep all night last night."
