Chapter 483: Chapter 483: Creepy as a Ghost!
 

The convoy smoothly drove into the toll entrance of the Binhai expressway and swiftly entered the city.

The scenes rapidly flashing by outside the car window seemed very familiar to Huang Xiaolong, which, of course, also made him feel a great sense of warmth and belongingness.

Perhaps Huang Xiaolong had begun to view Binhai as his second hometown.

After all, his friends and his woman were here…

“Little Long, are you coming home with us?” Sun Wei asked softly as she blinked her affectionate eyes at him.

“Uh…” Huang Xiaolong hesitated for a moment.

With a sweet smile, Sun Wei said, “We are heading home now to inform Grandfather about the detailed situation of our trip to Jiangnan City.”

With that, memories and admiration bubbled up in Sun Wei’s bright eyes. “Little Long… we owe you so much for this trip. I’m going to tell Grandfather everything in detail, I want him to recognize your bravery. The extra floor at the Carnival Hotel, Lan Keer’s mysterious disappearance, the duel in the National Forest Park, and… the series of victorious battles in the ancient martial arts competition, defeating the Wei family, defending the Sun family from our enemies… wow, Little Long, everything you’ve been through in Jiangnan City could be turned into an epic novel, and it would be riveting and highly popular!”

It seemed that Sun Wei was about to go home to give a briefing, something that was of no interest to Huang Xiaolong. He also felt too lazy to go to the Sun family’s home and be swarmed by people showering him with corny praises.

“Then I’ll pass.” Huang Xiaolong chuckled. “Sister Bai Hu, just pull over somewhere. I’ll get off and make my own way home.”

So, the car stopped by the roadside, and Huang Xiaolong got out.

He strolled aimlessly down the street under the bright sunshine. Everything was right in the world.

At that moment, his cellphone rang.

Huang Xiaolong picked up his phone to see it was his wife, Song Yuru, who was calling.

Earlier on the car, Huang Xiaolong had messaged Song Yuru via WeChat to tell her that he was back in Binhai.

He answered the call.

“Little Long! You’re so mean! Going to Jiangnan City and staying there for so long!” Song Yuru’s voice was full of indignation, although it quickly softened into a whimper, “I missed you so much…”

“Hahaha… my dear wife, I missed you too.” Huang Xiaolong chuckled.

“Hmm… who knows if you really missed me.” Song Yuru pouted playfully.

“Of course I missed you. After all, we’re a match made in heaven.” Huang Xiaolong replied earnestly.

“Little Long… if you missed me… then… you should come find me now… I’m at the school… please come…” Song Yuru pleadingly said to Huang Xiaolong.

The truth was, during the time Huang Xiaolong was away from Binhai, Song Yuru had spent her days longing for him. The days without Huang Xiaolong were torturing to her. Sometimes, she would dream about him in her sleep; it was sweet, but it also fueled her longing for him, bringing tears to her eyes.

Now that Huang Xiaolong was back in Binhai, Song Yuru couldn’t wait to see him. She wanted to rush into his arms, kiss him as much as she wanted, hold him as much as she wanted, touch him as much as she wanted.

In this situation, even if Huang Xiaolong directly asked her to meet him at a hotel, she would race there without a second thought.

“Alright, my dear wife, I’ll come find you right now.” Huang Xiaolong also greatly missed his beloved wife.

“Mmm mmm mmm, Little Long, I’m still in class now. When you get here, just hang around near the school, or wait for me at the sports field, library, or cafeteria…bye-bye, miss you love you muah!” Like a chirping skylark, Song Yuru hung up the phone.

Huang Xiaolong hailed a taxi and headed straight for Binhai University’s branch campus.

He barely stepped out of the cab and walked up to the school gate when he froze in his steps.

He could see the school’s sky covered with dark, menacing clouds, looking as though a dark storm was brewing!

“Seriously?” Huang Xiaolong was taken aback. “I haven’t been to school for some time, what’s going on? Why does the school feel so eerie…”

Given that his wife was studying here, Sun Wei and Sister Bai Hu were also students here, and um…beautiful teacher Chu Tingting was teaching here…

Moreover, Huang Xiaolong himself was a student of Binhai University.

Now that the school was tainted, it was Huang Xiaolong’s duty to intervene.

“Damn, who knows what trouble maker wandered in here… If it runs into me, its soul is bound for hell!” Huang Xiaolong chuckled, then stepped into the campus.

The moment his foot stepped into the campus, a gust of cold wind swept through.

Huang Xiaolong knew that many schools were built on chaotic graveyards. When night fell, the chilling wind could send shivers down one’s spine. Besides, there had been rumors of haunting in Dormitory 508 of this school.

But for the energy to be this fierce during the broad daylight, things are definitely very complicated!

It was currently class time, and the campus was quite empty. Huang Xiaolong strolled with his hands in his pockets, occasionally pausing.

Suddenly—

“Huang Xiaolong!”

A melodious female voice called out to him, stopping Huang Xiaolong in his tracks.

The voice was filled with excitement and longing that couldn’t be masked!

Huang Xiaolong turned around to see a gorgeous woman wearing professional attire, with a smoking figure. Intelligence radiated from her in waves; she had a slender waist, phoenix eyes, willowy brows, a slender nose and rosy lips — truly stunning.

If it was not the beautiful teacher Chu Tingting, then who could it be?

Next to Chu Tingting was another female teacher who was around the same age but looked and shaped quite ordinary compared to her.

The moment Chu Tingting spotted Huang Xiaolong, she jogged toward him, losing the reserve usually exhibited by a goddess. This left the other female teacher beside her astonished.

At the last reunion, Chu Tingting had Huang Xiaolong pretend to be her boyfriend. But she was only acting in name.

During the time Huang Xiaolong was away from Binhai, besides girls like Song Yuru, who already had confirmed relationships with him, Chu Tingting also missed him deeply. She even suffered from sleeplessness.

It was at this moment that she finally realized she was in love with this student!

But she did not dare confess this to anyone else. After all, most people are not tolerable towards student-teacher affairs.

“Hehe~~ Beautiful teacher, hello. Long time no see, you seem to have become even more beautiful.” Huang Xiaolong cheerfully greeted Chu Tingting.

As a matter of fact, Chu Tingting was already one of Huang Xiaolong’s designated wives!

“Tsk~~ You’re even flirting with your teacher.” Chu Tingting rolled her eyes at Huang Xiaolong, a mischievous smile playing on her lips.

Seeing Huang Xiaolong, whom she had been thinking of for days and nights, made Chu Tingting extremely happy. This happiness was pure and genuine, overflowing from deep inside her.

This left the female teacher next to her puzzled. She looked at Chu Tingting, then at Huang Xiaolong, and thought, ‘No way… Could it be… Teacher Tingting and this student…are they…seeing each other? Oh my God, how weird.’

“Beautiful teacher, I’m not flirting with you. You have genuinely become more beautiful,” Huang Xiaolong sincerely said.

Hearing Huang Xiaolong’s words filled Chu Tingting with an ineffable happiness. Afraid to reveal her feelings, she pretended to be serious and scolded him, “Stop talking nonsense.”

“Oh~~” Huang Xiaolong suddenly asked, “By the way, beautiful teacher, has something happened at the school recently?”

“How did you know?” Chu Tingting’s eyes widened, then she nodded. “It’s a significant incident, no wonder you heard about it. A few days ago, a PE student suddenly ran to a window during class and jumped off the building, committing suicide.”

“Mm. Did this happen during daytime?” Huang Xiaolong queried.

“Yes. It was broad daylight, a little after 11 in the morning,” Chu Tingting said, her expression darkening. “Sigh~~ that boy was usually quite outgoing. I couldn’t have imagined. I don’t know what troubled him so much.”

Huang Xiaolong’s eyebrows knitted into a frown, ‘I wonder if the suicide of that boy has anything to do with the grimy things in the school. But at around 11 a.m. , the yang energy is very strong, normally a ghost wouldn’t dare to appear…if it’s really a case of ghost possession causing the boy to commit suicide, it’s a frightful ghost indeed!’

The time around noon, particularly 12 o’clock, is when yang energy is at its peak. Hence, execution by beheading in the ancient times was usually around this time, equivalent to 11:45 in modern time.

Why did the ancients pick this time for execution? It’s because around noon, when yang energy is at its peak, it can counteract the heavy negative energy of ghosts. Executing criminals at this time keeps away ghostly possessions, and even prevents the culprit from becoming a ghost. Therefore, in period dramas, there is the trope of being executed at Wu-men, the place where yang energy in the palace is the most abundant. Being beheaded at Wu-men also makes it hard for one to become a ghost!

Did that PE student genuinely commit suicide, or was there more to it?

While Huang Xiaolong steeped in thought, Chu Tingting suddenly suggested, “Oh yeah, Little Long, this Teacher Zuo here has been facing some… weird issues recently. Could you perhaps help her find a solution?”

Before Huang Xiaolong could respond, the woman beside Chu Tingting, turned bright red, stomped her feet and protested in embarrassment, “Miss Tingting! Don’t say it! Don’t! This is very private, I only spoke about it to you…He…He’s just a boy, a student, how can we tell him? Please, don’t! I wouldn’t be able to live if it gets revealed!”

Having spoken, teacher Zuo dramatically covered her face with both hands, looking as shy as a bride being lifted onto her wedding sedan.
