I was secretly rejoicing when the classroom door creaked open and a beautiful woman in a white dress and mincemeat boots walked in. She was our English teacher, and also the form teacher of our second and fifth graders, Li Bing Bing. She was in her twenties and was assigned to our school as soon as she graduated from a major university in the province.
Because of the existence of this beautiful teacher, I focused all of my attention on the English course, which led to this subject’s outstanding results, while the other subjects were quite terrible.
However, Teacher Li appeared pale today, carrying a pile of papers. He came to the podium, panting as he said, "I’m sorry, but the teachers have something to do today, so they are late. Let’s start the exam immediately. Lin Di, can you help distribute the papers?"
Lin Dai took the paper from Bing Bing and noticed that her forehead was dripping with sweat. She asked worriedly, "Teacher, are you alright?" Do you want to see a doctor? "
Li Bing Bing forced out a smile and said, "Of course I’m fine. It’s just that I feel a bit dizzy when I get up in the morning. It’s just a small problem. Just take some pills and you’ll be fine. Hurry up and pass out the test."
Lin Dai could only pass the test paper to the students, but I noticed Teacher Li’s question. This beauty is usually radiant, and her words were crisp and pleasant. But today, not only did she lose her vigor, even her words made me feel extremely worried.
At this moment, Jian Wei, who was behind me, suddenly said, "Your teacher isn’t sick. She has run into a ghost!"
Jian Wei’s words sent chills down my spine. Although I couldn’t see what Jian Wei was looking at, looking at her solemn expression and her rare serious expression, I started to believe her.
It was just that I couldn’t discuss the details with her in the classroom, so I had to raise my hand.
Seeing me raise my hand, Li Bing Bing asked, "Li Qiang, what’s wrong?" A pained expression immediately appeared on my face. I clutched my stomach and said, "Reporting to teacher, I had diarrhea this morning and I haven’t been well since. I’m in excruciating pain. Can I take a break to the toilet?"
My speech caused the entire classroom to burst into laughter. Bing Bing said snappily, "You have so much to do. Go and come back quickly. We won’t wait for you during the exam."
It was class time and there was no one in the toilet, but I was still worried. I still checked every cell, and after seeing that no one was around, I said to Jian Wei, "Tell me about the situation you saw, why did you say that Teacher Li ran into a ghost?"
Jian Wei sighed and said, "Didn’t Professor Li say that he was dizzy? That’s because there’s a ghost playing on her head, so of course her head gets dizzy. "
Her words chilled me to the bone. After all, I had never seen any ghosts other than Jian Wei. After hearing what she said, my heart thumped wildly, and I was scared to death. However, I thought myself to be a man.
I calmed my emotions and asked, "How can you be so sure that what you see is a ghost?" Was it an illusion? "
Jian Wei suddenly laughed heartily and said, "You b * stard, what nonsense are you spouting? I am a ghost, what other illusions could I have? "I can tell you for sure, what I see are my own kind. There can be no mistake."
I took the opportunity to ask, "What does that ghost look like? Did you see it clearly? " Jian Wei replied, "She’s a little girl who looks to be about three or four years old. She seems to be very familiar with Li Bing Bing, hugging her neck and pressing her head against her face. I’m guessing she’s probably Professor Li’s child."
I rebuked him angrily, "Don’t speak nonsense! Teacher Li isn’t married yet. He doesn’t even have a boyfriend. Where did this child come from?"
Jian Wei looked at me like I was a child and laughed contemptuously, "You don’t believe that you’re young and immature. Girls nowadays can’t be compared to how open they were in the past. Are they still virgins after finishing university? Li Bing Bing had graduated from the provincial university, but hadn’t she ever had a boyfriend? She was so beautiful that her pursuers would have had a bunch of her, and if she had fallen in love at that time and been born with a hidden knot, she might have been pregnant in order not to interfere with her studies. "That little girl should be a Nascent Soul from the legends, right? She died before she was even born, so her resentment is extremely heavy. No wonder she was pestered."
I felt my heart sink. Although Jian Wei’s words were simple and crude, she actually spoke the truth. I had heard of the current atmosphere of a university and knew that for a beautiful girl like Bing Bing, it wouldn’t be surprising if they had some romantic affairs. This Infant Soul was probably a calamity left behind at that time, which led to the troubles of today.
However, thinking about how a beauty like Teacher Li had once had such an experience, I felt very uncomfortable. Even though she was only my teacher, as a boy who secretly admired her, I couldn’t help but feel a little sour in my heart.
Seeing that I was deep in thought, Jian Wei said, "Sigh, don’t be sad anymore. The child isn’t yours. What’s there to be sad about?"
I helplessly said, "What nonsense are you talking about? I’m just worried for Teacher Li. If she really gets entangled by the Nascent Soul, how much trouble would she be in?"
"That’s hard to say. I can only say that it’s a problem whether or not Li Bing Bing will survive this time. If the Nascent Soul finds her mother, it will do its best to bring her into the underworld and make her accompany her forever."
I looked at Jian Wei and probed, "Since you’ve met with your own kind, then you can just chase away that little girl. It won’t be a big deal."
Jian Wei chuckled and said, "Hubby, don’t joke with me. I’m a ghost, not a god. Furthermore, chasing people of the same species away is a taboo. Maybe I won’t even be able to be a ghost anymore."
"Damn, then what is the use of you? Just seeing it won’t solve the problem." I said helplessly.
Jian Wei said unhappily, "Hey, how can you talk like that? If it wasn’t for me, you wouldn’t even know what happened to Li Bing Bing." "You actually think that I’m incapable, then go and find someone capable to help you." As she spoke, her body floated to the rooftop as if she was about to fly away.
I looked up and apologised, "Alright, it’s my fault. I can apologize to you, but I feel that something is amiss. Teacher Li has been teaching us for two years, and she has always been healthy and active. She has never missed a lesson. Even if she did commit crimes, why did she suddenly get into trouble two years ago?"
Jian Wei frowned and said, "I’m not sure about that. Maybe the Nascent Soul didn’t find his mother before and coincidentally met her again?"
