After that, I heard that Teacher Wu requested leave, and I met him again at noon on the third day.
We were sitting together in his office. His expression was solemn, and it made me a little restless.
I didn’t know how he was going to handle my case. I guessed he must have found the passbook and used the password. There was no doubt that he received the money left behind by the old lady.
I also had not taken off my blindfold these days, so I hadn’t seen the old lady.
The atmosphere in the office was a bit dull. He stared at me for a long time without speaking. I swallowed my saliva and couldn’t help but break the silence first, “Teacher Wu, that…you should have…”
He raised his hand to interrupt me. He took a deep breath and asked me solemnly, “How did you do it?”
“What?”
“How did you know about the passbook and password?”
I smiled bitterly, “Didn’t I tell you, your grandma told me?”
“What’s my grandma’s name?”
…
This question surprised me. I didn’t ask the old lady about this!
His brows frowned when he didn’t see me speak.
I calmed down, stretched out my hand to untie the blindfold, and took it off.
Using both eyes to look at things gave me a long-lost feeling. If my left eye were not abnormal, I would want to look at the world with both eyes every day like a normal person.
The moment he saw my left eye, I saw Teacher Wu’s expression stiffened, and a trace of surprise flashed through his eyes.
I smiled at him and found the old lady standing beside him, smiling at me.
Perhaps the old lady had been by Mr. Wu’s side all this while, but I could only see her after taking off the blindfold.
She waved at me. Her eyes looked appreciative.
“Kid, thank you.”
“You’re welcome.”
Teacher Wu panicked, “What ‘you’re welcome’? Did I say something?”
“I’m not talking to you. I’m talking to your grandma.”
…
His face turned pale, and he looked around the office, horrified.
“Stop looking. You can’t see her.”
He got up from the chair and leaned into the corner nervously, passing straight through the old lady’s body.
I remembered the question he asked me, and I asked the old lady, “Grandma, what is your name?”
She replied, “Yu Cuihua.”
I told Teacher Wu the three words – ‘Yu Cuihua.’ He was so frightened he nearly shrunk into the ground.
I was dumbfounded when I saw him freak out. Why is he so scared when it is just his grandma? I would like to see my mother, but I don’t even have the chance to see her.
“Kid, I have a few words to tell my grandson, please help me pass it to him,” The old lady looked at me and said very politely.
I nodded, and she said, “Tell him not to stay up late, and don’t always hang up with those friends who are bad company. Don’t drink so much every time you join a gathering, and get in touch with your parents who are abroad. His girlfriend is a good girl, so tell him to get married if he can and stop taking his time to look around. He is not young anymore. Although I can’t see him getting married and have children, I’m still happy for him.”
Sadness filled the old lady’s eyes after she finished speaking.
I relayed her words to Teacher Wu word for word. He looked shocked, and his eyes reddened.
“What else did my grandma say?” he asked.
“She said she loves you a lot and wants you to live a good life.”
I relayed the words. The old lady nodded at me slightly and looked at Teacher Wu, who was standing in the corner.
“I don’t want to leave my grandson, but it’s already time to leave,” she murmured.
As soon as she finished speaking, a dazzling white light appeared in front of her.
I narrowed my eyes and saw the old lady standing in the light with a relieved smile. She then walked into the beam of light and disappeared with the holy light.
I guessed the old lady must have been a kind person when she was still alive, so she can go to heaven after she passed away. Speaking of it, this was the first time I encountered a kind ghost. The ghosts I encountered before were malicious, and I even had a chance to meet Heibai Wuchang.
“You… you tell my grandma, I love her too,” Teacher Wu said to me eagerly.
However, it was too late, and the old lady had already left.
I did not want to disappoint Teacher Wu, so I simply told him, “Your grandma can hear you, and she smiled with relief. She is about to leave soon.”
“Where is she going?”
I pointed my finger upward.
“To the roof?”
“…Uh, no. To heaven!”
People go to the underworld or heaven when they die. Do you need to ask?
Teacher Wu raised his head and looked at the ceiling. Tears welled up in his red eyes. After a while, he asked me, “Has she left?”
“En, she has left.”
He lowered his head, walked to the chair with a sad face, and sat down. He covered his face with his hands and remained motionless.
I waited for him to calm down and did not forget to remind him of what I said before.
“Teacher Wu, about what I discussed with you before…”
“Don’t worry. I will do according to what you said,” Without raising his head, he gently waved his hand and said softly, “Go back to your dormitory and let me be alone for a while.”
“Teacher Wu, I’m sorry for your loss. My condolences.”
He didn’t speak and waved his hand again.
I walked out of his office, helped him close the door, and left the infirmary with ease.
Thinking that I had done a great job, I walked back happily on the way back to my dormitory. Suddenly, someone tugged on my ponytail from behind me, sending a sharp pain through my scalp.
I stopped and turned around to see Ming Si grinning at me.
His hands were behind his back, and he was entirely in black. His fair and handsome face looked especially gentle under the sunlight.
“Elder brother?” I was shocked. Although I was used to him coming and going without a trace, he had left for quite a long time.
“Where have you been these few days?”
He laughed and was not in a hurry to answer this question. Instead, he reached his arm out, put it around my shoulders, hugged me, and slowly said, “Do you remember how I left for a few minutes on the day you almost fell from the rooftop?”
I nodded, and he continued, “I received news from Lu Xi that day that the ghost infant ran away.”
“What?” I was shocked.
He patted my shoulder with his hand and said patiently, “No need to panic. Ruoyi has already caught him.”
‘Ruoyi?”
It sounded like a woman’s name.
“You haven’t met Ruoyi yet, why don’t you meet her now?” He snapped his fingers as he spoke. A cold light flashed in front of my eyes, stinging my eyes a little.
I closed my eyes subconsciously, and when I opened them again, a young woman in white stood in front of me. She looked as if she was in her early twenties and had delicate facial features, but her dark eyes only shone a dim light. She was expressionless, and in some ways, looked even colder than Lu Xi.
I secretly wondered, Why are there so many people around Ming Si that had no expression?
“Liu Ruoyi meets the Madam.”
She nodded slightly and greeted me coldly.
