Chapter 457: Chapter 457: Dragon Raises its Head on 2 Feb _1
When the two bigwigs were startled from their dreams, they discovered the letter by their pillows.
The contents of the dream were a lament, the contents of the letter were a threat.
The letter stated that if they dared to hold a memorial meeting for Gao Xuecai and flaunt him as a scholar and teacher, someone would publicize his misdeeds. When that time came, the reputation of the entire biological science and pharmaceutical department, even the entire university, would be ruined.
Actually, this matter was ambiguous to begin with.
They could choose to believe or not believe it.
But the content of the dream was too bizarre and Gao Xuecai was a strange person who originally had a complex relationship with them.
The two bigwigs deliberated again and again believing it unnecessary to lay a timed bomb under their school’s entire future over a solitary teacher who had died accidentally.
The matter of the memorial meeting was thus delayed, and as time passed, it was eventually forgotten.
Some academic papers that Gao Xuecai had published were also suppressed and deleted with the tacit cooperation of the two bigwigs.
Two or three years later, none remembered the name of Gao Xuecai, and the individual and his deeds had basically disappeared.
The day after Ye You sent dreams to the presidents of the school and college, Ye You drew a charm on Xu Min’s forehead, allowing her to temporarily absorb sunlight.
Qin Sisi took Xu Min to the bank and transferred fifty thousand dollars to her parents’ bank cards.
By now, the wishes put forth by the two ghosts, Meng Xiaofei and Xu Min, had all been fulfilled.
That evening, Qin Sisi demanded the Soul Power from Meng Xiaofei and Xu Min.
Xu Min didn’t object, Meng Xiaofei repeatedly told Qin Sisi to keep her promise, and in her next lifetime, she must become a famous movie star.
Qin Sisi patiently promised again and again, Meng Xiaofei was finally able to put her mind at ease.
Ye You waved his claw, summoning the Spirit Conversion Bottle.
The snow-white Spirit Conversion Bottle slowly spun in the empty space, calling on the ghosts that were willing to relinquish their Soul Power.
The forms of Xu Min and Meng Xiaofei gradually faded, turning into two wisps of pale white smoke that drifted into the Spirit Conversion Bottle.
Ye You retracted the Spirit Conversion Bottle, his expression had a hint of arrogance; he had obtained the Soul Power of two more spirits and was one step closer to success.
After several sleepless nights, both Qin Sisi and Ye You were somewhat fatigued. Both stayed home to rest for two days before they finally recovered their energy.
Time flies and before long the first month is already over. February 2nd, the day of ’Dragon Rising’. In the legend, cutting hair on this day brings good luck throughout the year.
In some places, it is believed that boys will achieve great things after cutting their hair on this day. However, this belief only applies to boys.
Although Qin Sisi is the only daughter and not a son, her mother seems to value this tradition.
Even if her long hair doesn’t need to be trimmed at the hair salon, every second day of February, her mother would cut a few strands of her hair at home, for luck.
Now that her parents were no longer around, Qin Sisi did not forget about this holiday.
When she woke up in the morning, she took a pair of scissors and trimmed her hair herself. Watching strands of her black hair fall onto the light-colored floor, she fell into deep reminiscence.
Ye You walked over to her and gently asked, "What... are you doing?"
Qin Sisi tugged her lips into a small smile, her voice soft as she replied, "Today is February 2nd. They say if you cut your hair on this day, your luck will be better for the rest of the year."
Although Qin Sisi’s words were without feeling, Ye You could clearly perceive the nostalgia contained within them.
"It was your parents who told you this, wasn’t it?" asked Ye You softly.
When provoked by Ye You’s words, Qin Sisi wasn’t surprised in the least, but pressed her lips together and responded, "You probably don’t believe this, do you?"
Ye You looked at Qin Sisi’s tranquil and beautiful face and replied in a deep voice, "I believe it."
Qin Sisi was slightly taken aback and couldn’t help but look up at Ye You.
Ye You continued and said, "Since there is such a belief, I might as well adhere to the tradition. Can you trim my hair as well?"
"Ah?" Qin Sisi was hesitant. "How should I trim your hair?"
Ye You pointed at his head with a claw and said loudly, "Naturally, it’s the hair on my head; just a little trim will do."
"But,..." Qin Sisi was still hesitant.
"Come on!" said Ye You encouragingly, his eyes on Qin Sisi.
"Alright then." Qin Sisi agreed, she sat on the sofa with Ye You on her lap, taking the scissors, she carefully cut a few strands of black hair about a millimeter long from Ye You’s "head".
Ultimately fearful of hurting Ye You, Qin Sisi just cut his hair once, then put down the scissors, saying gently, "That should do."
Ye You asked somewhat puzzled, "That’s enough?"
Qin Sisi smiled, "Just a symbolic act will do; we hope for good fortune after all."
"Alright," said Ye You, seeing Qin Sisi was okay with it; he refrained from insisting any further.
The two of them nestled together, whispering to each other.
When the phone rang, Ye You frowned from within his heart, irritated. He didn’t know who was so inconsiderate, disrupting the tender moment he was sharing with Qin Sisi.
Qin Sisi got up to pick up the phone from the table. She found it strange that the name shown on the screen was actually Lin Xiaoyu.
Since parting from each other in Z city the previous year, the two had not been in contact.
On one hand, there was no reason to keep in contact, on the other, having developed feelings for Ye You, Qin Sisi did not hope Lin Xiaoyu would continue to harbor feelings for her, so she had deliberately not kept in contact.
The unceasing phone ringing disrupted Qin Sisi’s thoughts. She slid her finger to answer, "Hello," she said.
"Hello, Sisi, do you still remember me?" Lin Xiaoyu’s kindly voice came from the other end of the phone.
Qin Sisi smiled slightly and replied, "Of course I remember."
They had experienced many things together after all, and Lin Xiaoyu was the first to know of her special abilities; how could she forget him?
"Sisi, are you doing well now?" Lin Xiaoyu’s voice was full of concern, but Qin Sisi still detected something unusual.
She considered his question then replied: "I’m doing fine. Xiaoyu, did you call me because you need something?"
There was a pause on the other end of the call before she heard Lin Xiaoyu’s apologetic response, "Sisi, I’m really sorry; seems like every time I call, I’m asking you for help."
Asking for help?
Lin Xiaoyu knew about her special ability. Could it be that there were ghosts appearing around him again?
Without thinking, Qin Sisi quickly responded, "No problem, we are friends after all! Have you run into any strange incidents lately?"
Lin Xiaoyu hesitated before replying, "Not me; it’s... it’s my girlfriend."
"Girlfriend?" Qin Sisi was slightly surprised. Last time they met, Lin Xiaoyu was still single and now he had a girlfriend.
Lin Xiaoyu explained with some embarrassment, "Remember I said I was going on a blind date? We hit it off and started dating."
"Oh, that’s good, congratulations!" Qin Sisi said cheerfully in her response.
Lin Xiaoyu was a great guy. Now that he had found a suitable partner, Qin Sisi was genuinely happy for him.
