Chapter 1539 Rehearsal
“Not counting this one, there are three left,” Fang Mo replied.
Lin Qiye nodded slightly, “Keep working hard, and also, if you discover any suspicious items or people at school, remember to notify me.”
Hearing this, Fang Mo paused, seeming to sense something:
“Lord Qiye, is something going to happen at Beijing University?”
“…It’s not certain yet, just be careful anyway.”
“Okay.”
Fang Mo and Lu Baoyou took White Shadow and headed directly toward Building 5. Lin Qiye picked up a piece of chalk from the ground, tossed it lightly, and it rolled around a few times before pointing in a certain direction outside the classroom.
Lin Qiye looked in that direction, his eyes narrowing slightly…
Outside the window, brilliant LED lights cut through the gradually darkening sky, and in the cheerful music, figures moved quickly across the stage.
…
“Li Yifei, right? You sang well.”
On the spacious outdoor stage, a man wearing a shirt with a work badge walked quickly forward, his face full of approving smiles.
Li Yifei stood in the center holding his guitar, scratching his head with a smile.
“Since your performance was added to the program at the last minute, you’ll need to pay attention to your positioning after going on stage. Look, we’ve already marked on the ground…” The staff member earnestly explained the route for Li Yifei’s upcoming performance, and he nodded seriously after memorizing it.
“Alright, I’ve got it.”
“Good. Now there are about three hours until the official performance begins. You can go eat and rest for a while, just be back here at nine o’clock sharp.”
“Sure thing!”
Li Yifei slung his guitar over his back and was about to turn and head straight to the cafeteria when his peripheral vision caught Fang Mo and Lu Baoyou leading a white shadow gradually disappearing down the road. He paused momentarily.
His gaze fell on the white shadow, and his mind once again recalled the tear-stained figure under the willow tree that day, causing his heart to tighten.
“If you really feel bad about it, you can go help her… they’re all wandering souls, and it would be good to help disperse some of their resentment and depression.” Lin Qiye’s voice echoed in his memory.
“Old Li, come on, let’s go eat!” Zhang Yang stood below the stage, waving at him.
Li Yifei watched as the white shadow gradually disappeared at the end of the road. Gritting his teeth, he jumped down from the stage, “You go ahead and eat, I have something to do!”
Ignoring Zhang Yang’s response, Li Yifei ran with his guitar toward Fang Mo and the others. The two figures with the white shadow quickly came into his view.
“Wait!” Li Yifei shouted as he ran up to them.
Lu Baoyou stopped, staring at Li Yifei with a somewhat cold expression.
“It’s you?” Fang Mo recognized Li Yifei. “What do you want?”
“You’re Qiye’s juniors, right? I’m his brother.” Li Yifei patted his chest. “I want to see the remnant soul.”
Lin Qiye’s brother?
Lu Baoyou looked questioningly at Fang Mo, who sniffed lightly and nodded to him, “He has a strong scent of Lord Qiye on him, so he should be telling the truth.”
“What do you want with the remnant soul?”
“I… I want to ask something.”
“You’ve got the wrong one,” Lu Baoyou said flatly. “The one we’re escorting isn’t the one who stopped you yesterday.”
Li Yifei was stunned. Looking closely, the white shadow was indeed taller than the one who had stopped him yesterday. Yesterday’s was a girl, but today’s was a man.
“If you’re looking for that one, then come with us,” Fang Mo patiently explained. “We’re actually going to take this one to the same place.”
Li Yifei had only heard from Lin Qiye that the girl from yesterday was a remnant soul, but knew nothing about Classroom 609. He had assumed that the white shadow he just saw with Fang Mo was the same one from yesterday, which was why he had rushed over.
“Well… alright then.” Li Yifei checked the time.
Hmm, still early…
Li Yifei followed behind Fang Mo and Lu Baoyou, gradually disappearing at the end of the road…
…
Meanwhile, at the welcome party rehearsal site.
“We’re late, Li Yifei seems to have just finished singing,” An Qingyu said with some regret as he wheeled his chair closer to the central stage.
“It doesn’t matter, it’s just a rehearsal. He’ll have the official performance later,” Jiang Er’s voice was unconcerned.
She paused, as if thinking of something:
“By the way, what were you and Li Yifei doing secretly in the room yesterday and today?”
“…Nothing, nothing much.” An Qingyu shrugged. “His guitar couldn’t be plugged in, so he asked me to fix it for him.”
“You know how to fix things now?”
“I only have impaired logical computing power, I’m not stupid. Guitars are actually quite simple.”
“Oh…”
As they were talking, Lin Qiye walked up behind them.
“Qiye? Did you come to watch Li Yifei’s rehearsal too?” An Qingyu asked in surprise.
“I…” Lin Qiye stopped mid-sentence, quietly slipped the chalk into his pocket, and continued, “Yes, I came to watch his rehearsal.”
An Qingyu was still injured and unaware of the current situation in Beijing, so naturally Lin Qiye wouldn’t tell him what he was looking for, instead going along with his assumption.
“Too bad, he’s already finished rehearsing. We’ll have to wait for the official performance in three hours,” Jiang Er said helplessly.
“Three hours left…” Lin Qiye checked the time and nodded slightly. “Alright, I’ll walk around campus some more, and I’ll come back to find you when it starts.”
As Lin Qiye’s figure gradually receded into the distance, An Qingyu sat in his wheelchair, silently watching.
“Jiang Er.”
“Hmm?”
“Are you all hiding something from me?”
Jiang Er was taken aback. “…What do you mean?”
“These past two days, Qiye has been nowhere to be seen, saying he’s helping Chen Han handle official business… He’s the kind of person who plays mind games with Cao Yuan just to avoid washing dishes, so how would he be so kind as to help Chen Han deal with boring paperwork? And for two consecutive days? Besides, although he’s our team leader, he’s really not good with official documents, so why would Chen Han ask him?”
An Qingyu paused, then continued, “Cao Yuan too, he hasn’t spent much time with Lu Menglei these past two days, and keeps disappearing with Qiye… If you tell me they’re not doing something behind my back, I won’t believe it.”
“Uh…” Jiang Er’s voice sounded awkward.
With An Qingyu being so direct, Jiang Er knew she couldn’t keep it from him anymore, so she explained everything that had happened.
“You’re saying… those Mi-Go are looking for something in Beijing, and they might come a third time?” An Qingyu frowned. “I know about the second time… but when was the first time they appeared?”
