Chapter 5 Brother and Neighbor

"Oh, nowadays, children can fall asleep even when they take the exam. If I had been so nervous when I was in the past, I would have been so nervous that I would not dare to sleep."
戴着眼镜的微胖中年人站在窗边,神色复杂地看着高二四班的考场,离考试结束还有十分钟,他身为教导主任在这几层楼巡视,已经看见不少班级都睡倒了一大片.
这科是英语,能提前半小时交卷,四班的一群体育生都已经交了卷去操场打篮球了,剩下的人大概也是不着急,就这么趴在座位上,有的拿了张草稿纸在那里画画,有的就像叶勤这样,睡死了过去.
Next to the director, there was the head teacher of Class 4. The head teacher who taught English also thought of going to the door to take a look, but then he heard the director expressing his feelings in a low voice.
她顺着教导主任的眼神看去,然后笑呵呵起来:“叶勤啊,他成绩好着呢,这会儿肯定是做完了才睡的,我听说他每天回家还要给妹妹补课,可能是太累了吧.”
说完她又想起了什么,对教导主任打趣道:“再说了,您上学的时候那是多少年前的事儿了,现在教学资源比以前好那么多,很多孩子……不觉得上学是件值得开心的事情,肯定也不会像您当初那样认真了.”
"Alas, every era has its hardships." The director shook his head. He had a good temper and his students were not afraid of him. Every day he could get a lot of naughty classmates' greetings.
He walked away with his hands behind his back and took slow steps. The head teacher no longer had the interest to stay and walked towards the office.
Today is the last day of the monthly exam, and English is also the last subject. After taking this subject, these high school students will be temporarily liberated and they will have a day and a half holiday.
The head teacher knew the difficulty of this test, so she showed a gloating smile and thought, when she came back after the holiday, most of the little bastards in the class would face the catastrophe from the score.
After the two teachers who were muttering by the window left, Yu Xing opened his eyes calmly.
He had been awake for several minutes, but he pretended to be still asleep, and could hear the conversation between the two teachers clearly.
It sounds like the role of Ye Qin, who is a child who studies very well, has a younger sister at home... The exam questions are all related to family members, so this younger sister may also be an important role.
He slowly supported his upper body and looked at the test papers filled with the classroom and table.
从黑漆漆的血池中学教室里睡着之后,再醒来的位置显然已经发生了变化,天光大亮却即将西沉,看起来是临近傍晚的时候,教室里充满了因为快要放假而躁动不安的气息.
讲台上的监考老师看着外边走廊越聚越多的学生,听着逐渐变得闹轰轰的声音,叹了口气,终于对着下边这群无所事事的考生们问道:“你们都写完了吗?”
"The exam is over." More than a dozen people stayed in the classroom answered sparsely.
"Then let's get the papers in advance, knowing that you are in a hurry to get off school and are not thinking about the exam."
After obtaining unanimous approval from all the candidates, the invigilator asked the students in the last row to stand up and collect the test papers. Yu Xing packed up his bag and followed the large army out of the classroom.
"Ye Qin, do you want to have dinner together?" A familiar classmate called him. Yu Xing turned his head and looked at it. Just as he was about to refuse, another classmate answered for him.
"Forget it? Today, there is a small exam for the senior year. Ye Qin's brother is probably coming to pick him up soon. His brother is so old-fashioned and just a nerd. If he knew that Ye Qin would not go home directly but would go out for dinner with us, he would probably have to talk about him again."
"Ah, that's it, forget it."
Before Yu Xing could say a word, these classmates arranged him clearly, smiled and waved goodbye to him, and left first.
It turns out that Ye Qin also has an older brother, tsk, both brother and sister, and his parents. There are at least five people in this family.
He looked at the backs of these students, stood there, waiting for his brother to pick him up.
There is no system in this deduction, and naturally there is no role memory infusion or role information. He is now in a state of ignorance of Ye Qin, so he can only make a little speculation based on the reactions of the people around him.
He was combing the situation in his mind, and a shadow came to him, blocking part of the sunlight shining on him.
Yu Xing looked up and saw a sweet-looking short-haired girl wearing a knee-length school uniform skirt, holding two cans of Coke in her hand, smiling at him, and handing one of them to him.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time. Why did you fall asleep today? Is it really because you're too tired?"
The girl's tone was very familiar. Yu Xing guessed that this should be Ye Qin's acquaintance, but not from the same class.
It may also be the early love partner... He had seen this girl long ago. When the exam paper was about to be collected, the girl was waiting in the corridor. However, at that time Yu Xing was not sure who the girl was waiting for, so he didn't pay much attention.
He took the Coke. Although it was not ice Coke, he still lowered some temperatures to the hot weather.
Yu Xing's tone was plain, and he chose an attitude that could be explained by any means: "Yes, I'm a little tired these days, but I only went to bed after the exam."
"Well, by the way, you were just dazed, were you watching those people?" The girl pointed to the direction where several classmates who had invited Yu Xing to have dinner just now, "Don't pay attention to them, your brother is fine, they don't know the situation in your house, so they just talk casually, don't care."
Yu Xing's heart moved and did not ask anything that could easily arouse suspicion. Ye Qin's family seemed a bit complicated. He would rather wait until he got home and look for clues from his home. As a place where he had to live every night, clues at home were definitely more diverse.
Most of the students in the corridor waited for the person they were waiting for, and left in groups of three or two, and soon there were only a few students who didn't know what they were thinking.
The girl had no intention of leaving, so she accompanied Yu Xing to chat with him. The topic changed from interesting stories in school to the Chinese test paper that she had finished the exam two days ago.
"Oh, you may not believe it. I happened to sit in the last row. When I was collecting the test papers, I looked at the composition topics written by the person in front of me. Do you know how outrageous he is?"
The girl remembered the happy thing and patted the wall next to her vividly. Now Yu Xing was basically sure that this girl was not his early love partner, but someone like a best friend. Otherwise, it would be really common not to mention so heroic in front of her boyfriend. No girlfriend should be able to stand her boyfriend's response after saying a lot of words.
This aspect reflects that he has no problem with his response. Ye Qin should have been an introvert who is more delicate and active in his mind, but does not like to speak very much.
The girl in front of her was very excited, obviously not caring about Yu Xing's attitude: "Aren't we training argumentative essays recently? The guy at the front desk wrote an essay, which is nothing, but his title is very persistent in using the argumentative essay writing, called "On the teacher's part-time gardener, the feasibility of lighthouses and candles", which is so interesting, hahaha..."
"..." Yu Xing thought for a moment, "Looking at how you laugh, this is... very interesting?"
"Hey, don't you think it's very interesting?" The girl's eyes widened slightly, then rolled her eyes helplessly, "Maybe, it may not sound too interesting, but when I watched it, I thought it was very funny. I asked me to tell me, you are more like a nerd than your brother."
"When can you try to be more cheerful? I've been addicted to ghost stories all day long, watched horror games live, and liked to play Penxian and all kinds of divine things. I'm not as gloomy as you." The girl pulled Yu Xing's face without hesitation, "I'd love to you, if you could be more interesting."
"So, do you like interesting people?" Yu Xing asked.
After asking, he was slightly stunned because the sentence just now was not what he wanted to say, but a force in the dark drove him, forcing him to ask this sentence before he could react.
The girl generously admitted: "Who doesn't like interesting people? Hey--Your brother is here."
The senior high school entrance examination ended a little later than the senior high school entrance examination. They chatted in the corridor for a long time before Ye Qin's brother arrived late.
When Yu Xing heard the sound, he walked over from the other end of the corridor. A tall and thin boy was also wearing a school uniform and carrying a schoolbag.
When the boy came over, the other party's friend said goodbye to him: "Ye Ming, then I'll leave first, see you tomorrow!"
Ye Ming nodded slightly to his friend, with a faint attitude, which was very similar to Ye Qin, whom Yu Xing played now.
"Let's go, go home." Ye Ming came to Yu Xing, as if he had just seen a girl, "Yu Wan is here too, are you going back together?"
"Okay, I'm too lazy to take the bus back if I can get to my elder brother's car." The girl smiled.
Yu Xing smiled.
So that's it, the girl's name is Yu Wan, and she is my...neighbor.
I'm afraid I'm still the kind of neighbor who grew up with childhood sweethearts.
Because on the surface, Ye Qin's house is two and a half floors, and it is old. Generally, this kind of house has existed for quite a while. It is located in a remote place and is surrounded by the same type of house. The possibility of people who bought these houses is very low. They have lived in the same place for decades and face the same neighbors. This is the most likely thing.
Yu Xing followed them downstairs.
He was not very adapted to this body that was particularly close to ordinary people. For him, he had not felt his shoulders that were sore after lying for a long time and his senses that were completely blocked.
This means that even if the ghost is by his side, he may know nothing. Even if all the peaceful scenes in front of him are illusions built by evil spirits, Yu Xing could not find out his mental power to feel them as usual, but could only continue to move forward with this illusion until the ghost showed clues.
For example now.
He felt a little strange. There were normal scenes around him. The students scattered in the corridor, the teachers who occasionally passed by, the excited play of some boys from the open space downstairs, the slight sound of brother Ye Ming's soles rubbing against the ground, and the sound of Yu Wan's chattering and asking Ye Mingkao what he was like.
But the more he walked, the more he felt that there was no real feeling here, as if the white walls and tiles beside him should be bleeding out.
Every move of others is so pale, like a silhouette drowning in time. Yu Xing is now covered with paper. He can vaguely feel that something is definitely not right around him, but he can't find it.
The most direct manifestation is that as he walked, he had goose bumps on his body and his heart was beating uncomfortable.
Until I walked past the school gate and got into a white car that was not big or small, the feeling did not fade away. Yu Xing sat in the passenger seat, Yu Wan consciously sat in the back seat, and Ye Ming also took out the car key and inserted it into the keyhole of the car.
I am in my third year of high school. If I am old in the month, I am indeed at the age of being able to take the driver's license. Yu Xing can't recognize what kind of vehicle this is. Only through this point can I realize that Ye Qin's family is indeed very good.
He leaned against the leather seat, intending to take a look at the scenery outside the window to relieve the feeling of being restless.
The vehicle started slowly and galloped on the road outside the school. While observing the architectural style next to the road, Yu Xing was distracted and thought that maybe this was the feeling in the deduction when others first became the deduction. People without special talents were frightened by the threat of ghosts and deaths that could appear at any time; those who have some talents and can sense ghosts slightly will be tortured by the fear that follows them like shadows.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! He is just experiencing things that others have experienced long ago.
On both sides of the road, within the entire sight, the buildings are in a grayish-white tone. Various shops use roller shutter doors, and there are all kinds of shops selling them, which is very messy.
There are mobile vendors who start selling things after a cloth at the entrance of the shop. They are all gadgets that please the students. Many students wearing school uniforms gather at the stalls to pick and choose, and some take friends to the small noodle restaurant to eat noodles.
Some residential buildings were built further apart, with the same color, probably a community. The buildings are not tall, only three or four floors. No matter how you look at this scene, it is a bit similar to decades ago.
Yu Xing happened to have experienced that era, and the visual sense was very strong.
Well... Is the timeline of the deduction the first few years of the 21st century?
He blinked and felt that it was not that absolute, because when he was in the classroom, whether it was the chalk drawings about old anime on the blackboard behind, the indoor loudspeaker that could be broadcast throughout the school, or even the sighs of the two teachers beside his window, it was obviously impossible that it existed at the beginning of the century.
——Of course, if the worldview is different, it will be fine, just think he has judged loneliness.
Yu Xing's fingers were unconsciously hitting his legs. After a while, he suddenly realized that when he was not focused, both Ye Ming and Yu Wan were too quiet.
It seemed as if he was the only one in the car.
His eyes slowly focused from the dispersed state, and looked behind him calmly through the transparent glass. From his angle, he could see Ye Ming in the driver's seat, and Yu Wan could also be seen with his own light.
So, he looked at Ye Ming through the car window glass.
Ye Ming held his hands on the steering wheel, but his head turned around to face him, as if Ye Ming had watched the scenery for as long as he had been watching.
Good guy, don't look at the road, and you're driving dangerously!
Yu Xing subconsciously wanted to turn around and let Ye Ming watch the road and drive well. The next second, he stopped this impulse.
He is Ye Qin now, not Yu Xing, and there is no capital to make him commit suicide.
What's wrong with brother Ye Ming? What about Yu's regret?
Yu Xing didn't know if his eyes were on Yu'an at this time would cause his brother to move. After all, if his brother turned his head, he could see his expression reflected on the car window.
Suddenly, a hand stretched out from his shoulder.
The slender and soft hand hung over his shoulder, and then slapped it suddenly: "Ye Qin, do you bring a napkin? Lend me one."
Yu Xing was still hurt by the girl's hand force. He turned his head with the flow and found that Yu Wan leaned forward slightly. When he looked over, the expression on the sweet face seemed a little unnatural, and he squeezed his eyes at him very hard.
"...I have it, how many pictures do you want?" Yu Xing asked.
I don’t know if he was too careful in his observation, so he was a little sensitive. Yu Wan looked at the glass window and then replied: “Just one is enough.”
Yu Xing took out a napkin from his schoolbag and gave it to her. When he looked at the window, Ye Ming's face had become normal and he was driving the car with concentration.
He turned his head openly and looked at Ye Ming.
"What's wrong?" Ye Ming turned his face slightly at him, but his eyes were still paying attention to the road. This is the state he should be when driving.
"It's okay, I just feel like you've lost weight again recently." Yu Xing had nothing to say, because Ye Qing was really thinner. His wrists were thinner than girls. He probably didn't have much flesh under his school uniform.
"I'm too heavy in my senior year of high school, so it's normal to lose weight." Ye Ming said, "If you don't want me to continue to lose weight, then put more meat when you cook tonight."
"I understand." Yu Xing agreed very calmly. No one could tell that he learned in the last second that the dinner in this restaurant was actually made by himself.
Strangely, my brother is in high school and my sister is very good at studying, but I don’t know if it’s my first year of high school, junior high school or elementary school, but how could the errand work fall on Ye Qin, a second-year high school student, and what about his parents?
It was related to the test questions, Yu Xing was very alert. At the beginning of the reading questions on the test paper, Ye Qin walked back home from school, and after seeing the house, he thought that his father would not renovate the house. Then his father was still in his life normally, and his brother might not have bought a car.
Everything on the test paper was before the timeline he was experiencing now?
It's not right. If this family is really living in good condition as he guessed before, even if the brother didn't buy a car, his parents should have bought it and would pick up and drop off Ye Qin, who was younger at the time, to go to school and get off. If there is no time, there will always be a nanny.
The road is quite long, and now there is no sign of the students at all. The business atmosphere on the road is getting weaker and weaker, as if he has entered a more secluded area. After more than ten minutes, Ye Ming slowly stopped the car.
Yu Xing came to a location that was considered a suburb. Looking around, all the houses were single-family houses, far apart from each other, occupying a large area. Their exteriors didn't look very beautiful, and the old atmosphere was very obvious.
Ye Ming stopped the car to get off Yu Wan. Yu Xing looked moved and asked, "Do you want to come to my house for dinner tonight?"
Judging from the relationship Yu Wan showed with him and Ye Ming's familiarity with him, Yu Wan should be the one who often eats at their house. This is the conclusion that Yu Xing came to after observing the details, so this invitation is not abrupt.
He had already confirmed that something was wrong with Ye Ming. The character of the brother must have something to do with the ghost. Maybe Ye Ming is the kind of internal rule that is forced by some kind of curse and cannot attack him now. As long as he accidentally steps into the trap, he will immediately show the trigger-type ghost that belongs to the evil ghost.
If Yu Wan is the same, most of them will not refuse this invitation, because it is easier to get together to make loopholes and make it easier to take action.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! "Uh..." Yu Wan hesitated after hearing this, then looked at Ye Ming, "Is it convenient today?"
"Everything is OK, what's the inconvenience for you to come to my house?" Ye Ming said it didn't matter.
Yu Wan said, "Okay, then I'll eat at your house. You can also ask Ye Qin how to write his homework after the meal."
She did not refuse.
Yu Xing was not abnormal on the surface, but he raised the level of danger of regret in his heart by one level.
Ye Ming drove over Yu Wan's house. In fact, their house was really close to Yu Wan's house. On the same road, there were only a flower bed more than ten meters apart.
Yu Xing observed the "home" getting closer and closer. His house was indeed very pale as written on the reading question. Some wall skins fell off due to poor care, revealing the red bricks underneath, and scattered weeds grew in the cracks of the bricks.
The two floors below are quite large. The upper half of the floor seems to be a loft, with only a closed window. From the top, there is a triangular roof with bricks and tiles neatly arranged, as if some moss is attached.
Next to the house is a tall telephone pole, with cables hanging on the telephone pole, extending to the next side of other houses, extending far away.
The hottest hours have passed, and the weather has turned cold, and the cicadas are ringing in the fields between the house and the house, blocked by the stack of grass and leaves.
After stopping at the door of the house, Ye Ming wanted to park the car in the garage, but Yu Xing and Yu Wan got out of the car first.
As soon as he was about to take out the key from his schoolbag and open the door, he heard Yu Wan say quietly: "Ye Qin, you have to be careful soon."
Yu Xing showed a stunned expression: "What's wrong?"
Yu Wan lowered her voice, as if she was worried about being heard: "You saw it too when you were in the car, right? Your brother..."
