Chapter 784: Conman Reappears
I showed Xiao Qin the text messages from Director Cao. I then explained the reason I was on a gay dating site was because I was helping Kyle sign up. Xiao Qin finally sighed and believed I wasn’t gay.
“You scared me.” Xiao Qin patted her chest, “I don’t know what I would do if you were gay.”
“I’ve vowed to myself I would become someone who would be a good match for you. If you became a monk, then I would be a nun…”
Hey, monks and nuns can’t become a couple in the first place or Buddha wouldn’t forgive you.
“But if you’re gay, what should I do, become a lesbian? I think that would only make me get further away from you, and it’s not like I am Winnie who likes girls…”
Is that so? Why do I feel like you do have an interest in girls because of your gender dysphoria? The first time the class leader stayed over at your house, you pressed her down and forced her to show you her breasts.
The class leader complained to me that your eyesight while looking at her was like a boy’s gaze. Xiao Qin was also the first one to compare the class leader’s breasts to peaches.
I stayed at Xiao Qin’s home until 5pm, then I left because Auntie Ren might come home early. Xiao Qin looked pretty sad when I said my farewell.
“Ye Lin classmate, will you come tomorrow?”
“Not tomorrow. Tomorrow I have to go to Ai Mi’s place.” I said apologetically.
It was time for another routine medical examination by Dr. Yu and I wanted to know if there was any progress in his drug tests on the mice.
“I’m sorry, I was asking for too much…” Xiao Qin lowered her head in disappointment when she heard that I couldn’t come tomorrow.
“It’s not too much at all.” I waved my hand and said, “I can’t come tomorrow, but I might come the day after tomorrow. We live a bit far away, so I have to take public transportation, but it might not be a problem in the future…”
Xiao Qin didn’t understand and asked: “Why won’t it be a problem later? Are you planning to move closer to here?”
I’m not sure where we will move, but there was one thing I was sure of: After my dad and Auntie Ren get married, we will definitely live under the same roof! Then we will have to be with each other every day until you get annoyed.
Of course that’s assuming I don’t die due to my heart problems, so I have to go to Dr. Yu tomorrow for my checkup.
After saying goodbye to Xiao Qin, I got on the subway to go home.
The AC inside the subway was on full blast. It made me think the operator was trying to get revenge on society by freezing people to death in the summer.
A lot of the passengers couldn’t sit still anymore and stood up to warm themselves up, freeing up a large number of seats.
I was still a Spartan even with my heart problems, so the cold wasn’t a big deal. I sat down and used my phone without joining in with the other passengers who were dancing around.
I didn’t realize when all the other passengers moved to another carriage. The seats across from me were empty and there weren’t many people left on my side either.
How funny. All the carriages are connected, so they are equally as cold! It’s not like this carriage was colder than the other ones, so what’s the point on hiding in a different one.
It doesn’t make sense even if it was to avoid me. I might not be wearing sunglasses, but I was wearing a baseball cap! I wore it because I was afraid someone would recognize me as Jin Lin Young Thug. I was also using my phone, so my eyes would have been covered and it shouldn’t have scared anyone away.
I put away my phone and looked at the only person remained who sat on my left.
I almost fell off my seat. If I wasn’t trained to deal with frights, I might have even gotten a heart attack.
A psychiatric patient sat on my left. He was still wearing a patient outfit with blue and white stripes. A name card was still pinned on the left side of his chest where it said Dong Shan Psychiatric Hospital, Number 113.
Isn’t he Fang Xin, did he escape again? How did he get onto the subway? Why did the inspector let him through?
Fang Xin looked at me and flashed a mummy-like smile.
“Ye Lin, we meet again.”
It was hard for me to control my emotions. I made sure I was ready to jump up and run at any moment.
Fang Xin was too strange. He was able to use his own appearance (plus his patient outfit) to scare away all the passengers. I really didn’t want to get too involved with him.
For some reason, he was very interested in me and even specifically came to look for me one night. He said a lot of chuuni stuff like he was a god and could read the Akashic records. He also said the one I love the most will die and my phone will save my life…
Although there was a bizarre coincidence when I was surrounded by four unknown masked men with metal bats and my phone automatically dialed 110. It resulted in police from a nearby police station to arrive on the scene and ensure my safety.
Objectively speaking, it did indeed save my life, but I would rather think of it as a coincidence. The only reason I was surrounded in the first place was because I received a fake text from Officer Ma that said my dad was arrested on suspicions of drug trafficking.
The whole thing was a bit suspicious and we can’t exclude the possibility those people were hired by Fang Xin. But how would a psychiatric patient order four burly men to attack me? Also, my phone accidentally dialed 110 while it was in my pocket, I don’t think that’s something a human can control.
“Ye Lin.” Fang Xin’s gazed ahead into the endless void and said in a mechanical tone of voice, “Do you still not believe me? Are you not afraid of losing the one you love yet again?”
“Hey conman, there’s no way I’ll believe your lies.” I kept my rationality and said, “It’s all a coincidence. You said you could turn the rock in our neighborhood into gold, but it disappeared in the middle of the night. However, it had nothing to do with you at all! The auntie who lived above me heard our conversation and thought the rock had gold in it, so she told her son to move the rock upstairs. You don’t have any powers at all, it’s all a coincidence.”
Fang Xin didn’t look offended at all and said slowly: “Then has your cellphone saved your life?”
I wasn’t feeling very confident but held my viewpoint: “No, even if it did it would still be a coincidence.”
“Haha, several eras ago, before I showed you the Akashic records that records everything in the universe, you were just as stubborn as you are now…”
“Stop lying.” I waved my hand, “If you can do it, then show me right now.”
Fang Xin frowned: “The Akashic records is the greatest existence in the universe. I can’t summon it, but I could take you to see it, so why don’t you first close your eyes…”
“I’m not closing my eyes. Who know what you’re going to do to me. What if you’re going to assault me, or use a drug on me, I’m not going to fall for it.”
Fang Xin didn’t really show any regret: “So, what do I have to do for you to believe me. I made a deal with the past you to come help you…”
“Hmph, I’ll believe you if you could guess what I’m thinking right now. Don’t you have access to the Akashic records? Go look up what I’m thinking right now.”
I wasn’t actually thinking of anything and only wanted to purposely make things difficult for him. I’ll laugh at him once he makes a wild guess.
I never expected Fang Xin to smile slightly and say: “The number one priority for you right now is of course to save your little sister from your mother’s control…”
I turned pale with fright, then he continued:
“Also the number one thing you’re curious about right now is what Shu Sha sent you on her deleted text message.”
That’s… impossible. The class leader sending me a message and deleting it later was something only the two of us knew. My phone ran out of batteries when I was rescued. The only one who could have used my phone was Dr. Yu when he was treating me, but I don’t think he read it because the class leader made sure the message was unread before she deleted it.
How did Fang Xin know about it? It was even more unbelievable than him knowing I wanted to save Ai Mi from Ai ShuQiao.
Fang Xin didn’t really seem pleased when he saw my face turn white, he only said: “I could read the records from the Akashic records since they are never destroyed. Do you want to know the contents of the message?”
I kept calm and said: “You could tell me, but I’ll be the judge if it’s real or not.”
Fang Xin nodded, then tilted his head back slightly and closed his eyes. His eyeballs were turning violently under his eyelids as if he was suffering from mental turmoil. It’s believable that he might be making a connection across space with the so-called “Akashic Records”.
“The text message said…”
Although Fang Xin did not open his eyes, but the violent rotation of his eyes had stopped, and his voice became more empty and cold.
“Don’t die. I’ll marry you if you come back alive.”
After saying those words, Fang Xin stopped talking and closed his eyes to rest.
Damn, if you take the class leader’s prior messages into account, it does sound like something the class leader would have said. The class leader once said to me: she wouldn’t marry me even if I kneeled and begged her.
Maybe the class leader remembered what she said to me and sent me that text message?
I have no idea if what Fang Xin said was true or not. I tried to get the class leader to tell me, but she said not until at least high school.
The earliest a woman can get married in China is 20 years old. When the class leader graduates from high school she would be at most 18 or 19, I don’t think she would make a mistake like that. Also, I definitely wouldn’t have reached the age of 22 to get legally married.
But regardless, what Fang Xin said couldn’t be simply attributed to luck. I must have missed something. There must be a scientific explanation for how he could know all this…
