“…It’s a novel.”
Li Nian was startled and muttered something. The tiny sound seemed to be caught by Wu Geng. As if she was awakened, she suddenly raised her head and looked at Li Nian beside her.
When she noticed his eyes fell on her notebook, she immediately leaned forward to stop the open notebook, and then glared at Li Nian.

PS: Coo coo coo! (School starts in early September, there are many things that cannot be avoided.)
Chapter 36: The Distance Has Not Been Closed
This is the expression of anger and shame when a secret is revealed.
Looking at Wu Geng who was trying hard to cover the notebook, Li Nian knew that his guess was right. This kid was indeed writing a novel.
Li Nian was a little surprised... She didn't expect that this girl who always treated people coldly and seemed to be uninterested in anything actually had such a hobby.
But he thought about it again and felt it was quite normal.
Wu Geng would occasionally bring me some books with gorgeous covers, dark colors, and eye-catching looks, and it seemed like he was interested in reading. In this case, it was not surprising that at this age, young boys and girls who loved to daydream would always have some ideas about writing their own books...
Li Nian suddenly felt a little nostalgic.
He was the same back then.
Reading is a very common interest. When he was in high school, most of the boys in his class liked to read novels. Many of them were attracted by the weird or grand world presented in the text. They thought, "Can I write such a story?" and had the idea of writing. Li Nian was just one of them.
Everyone has tried to write a story on a whim and excitedly passed it around to each other.
Li Nian also often uses class time to write novels. Firstly, it is because she does not want to attend the class, and secondly, when class starts, everyone sits in their seats and the teacher is lecturing. No one pays attention to her, so it is easier for her to calm down.
But in the end, most of them gave up. Li Nian was the only one who finally persevered and cultivated his momentary impulse into an interest... and even used it as a means of making a living in the future.
What about this child? What stage is he in now? Is it just a whim, or...
Li looked directly at Wu Geng's face. Writing had a profound meaning to him. He now had a strong interest in this girl who seemed to be writing a novel. He did not realize that there was a sense of scrutiny in his eyes.
Wu Geng didn't expect that when she glared at him, the boy didn't understand and looked directly at her. For some reason, his eyes became a little cold and scary. She retreated a little, but quickly regrouped and glared at him even more fiercely.
Li Nian came back to his senses from his thoughts and noticed the hostile look. He smiled embarrassedly, knowing that this little interest was a secret hidden by others. He retracted his gaze and stopped looking at it.
After confirming that this guy was no longer looking at him, Wu Geng turned back, but closed the notebook and put it away, obviously not intending to continue writing.
Li Nian glanced at the situation on her side and sighed softly.
——My favorability, which was already low, seems to have dropped again?
The bell rang, and Mr. Hiratsuka called the end of get out of class and left the classroom. Wu Geng stood up, faced Li Nian, stared at him, and said word by word: "Don't talk nonsense."
This was the first time she took the initiative to talk to Li Nian... although the content was a warning.
Li Nian rolled his eyes, but did not agree to her directly. Instead, he said with a smile.
"Isn't it that what you write is meant for others to see? There's no need to hide it."
Wu Geng frowned and said coldly: "It has nothing to do with you."
Every word she said was full of rejection, as if she didn't want to talk to you any more.
But Li Nian knew that she wrote a novel, and was very curious about what she had written. She did not want to retreat so easily, but continued to speak with a meaningful tone.
"If you write only for your own enjoyment, wouldn't the characters you write be a little pitiful?"
Li Nian was still talking about the novel. Wu Geng looked around carefully and found that several people around Li Nian were looking at the situation here, and he felt a little panicked.
She really didn't want the fact that she was writing a novel to be exposed, and she didn't want to talk about it in front of others. She wanted to escape from the scene, but Li Nian didn't give her a clear agreement, so she was unwilling to just leave.
But she didn't know what to say, so she could only bite her lips and stare at Li Nian.
Seeing this, Li Nian felt that she shouldn't act too hastily and didn't want to make things difficult for her, so she nodded.
"Don't worry, I won't talk nonsense."
He changed his tone and simply agreed, which surprised Wu Geng, who looked at him suspiciously.
Li Nian lowered his eyes, thought for a moment, and suddenly spoke again.
"Let me be frank. I'm very curious about what's in the book."
"...!"
"Don't look at me like this. I actually know a little bit about writing. Maybe I can help you."
Li Nian said this in order to strike up a conversation with Wu Geng, and she also wanted to see the manuscript she wrote, but she didn't know what to say, so she simply brought up a topic that might interest her.
As it turned out, he succeeded, which did cause a reaction from Gogen, who seemed a little surprised, with her eyes widened.
"You mean, you're also writing..." She hesitated, glanced at Sato and Totsuka who were looking at her in confusion, and changed the subject temporarily: "Writing articles?"
"Indeed, I have written it." Li Nian nodded and said with a smile: "How about we, as fellow enthusiasts exploring the same path, exchange ideas?"
This is the first time I've heard of such a thing.
After hearing Li Nian admit that he was also writing a book and expressed his desire to communicate, Wu Geng's expression became obviously hesitant. She lowered her head to look at her desk, then looked at Li Nian. This reaction showed that she listened to Li Nian's words and was thinking...
Suddenly she shook her head vigorously and muttered, "What am I doing..."
When Li Nian heard this, he narrowed his eyes slightly and found that when Wu Geng looked up at him again, his eyes had returned to being cold.
"no need."
After saying this lightly, expressing his refusal, Wu Geng left his seat and turned towards the door.
"..."
Li Nian looked at her back and realized that it was this child who was actively keeping a distance from others.
That’s why I’m still alone in my second year of high school… I can’t see you if this continues…
"It's rare to see Wu Geng talking to someone. Li Nian, what were you talking about just now?"
Totsuka was sitting behind Li Nian, listening to their conversation, feeling confused. When he saw Wu Geng leaving, he asked Li Nian curiously.
"Sorry, this is a secret." Li Nian shook his head and did not reveal Wu Geng's secret as promised.
Wu Geng paused, turned his head slightly, but did not look back in the end, and left the classroom.
……
……
The day's classes ended like this.
Not only Chinese, but other courses were no problem at all for Li Nian. At the end of the day, Li Nian remembered clearly everything the teacher taught.
I feel like if I continue like this, I'll have no problem with the exam.
Li Nian felt that he might be able to easily evolve into a top student...
"Hey, let's go back together?"
An Yi patted his shoulder.
Li Nian was about to agree when she suddenly felt someone was watching her. She looked up and saw Jian Shan standing at the door, looking straight at her.
"Sorry, I have an appointment."
Li Nian remembered that Isayama had said that he would come back to see him in the afternoon and would give him an answer, so he immediately rejected An Yi and walked over.
"Senior Isayama," Li Nian greeted.
But Isayama looked at him seriously, did not respond, and asked.
"Are you Li Nian?"
Why did she come to confirm her name at this point? Li Nian was confused at first, but when he noticed that she was holding a document, he realized why she asked, so he nodded and answered again.
"Yes, I'm Li Nian."
Chapter 37 Initial Awakening
Hearing Li Nian give his name again, Jianshan immediately opened the document in his hand, looked at the document, then looked at Li Nian, his eyes moving over and over again, as if he was confirming something.
Li Nian guessed what she was doing and let her look at him. Jian Shan watched for a while and couldn't help asking again, "Are you...really Li Nian?"
"Don't look at it. I know what you are thinking now. You don't need me to tell you. I know that I have changed a lot compared to before, but I am indeed Li Nian." Li Nian pointed to the document in her hand: "Yes, half a month ago, I looked like the one in the photo you are looking at now."
Isayama remained silent.
Yes, just as Li Nian guessed, the document she had in her hand was the one she contacted immediately after she said goodbye to the boy in the morning, and reported the relevant information she had found out about the person "Li Nian".
When she saw Li Nian's photo for the first time, she immediately confirmed that this was the poor boy who unfortunately lost his parents in the spiritual disaster. She had a deep impression of this.
If it was that Li Nian, he had indeed met her before, and the information also said that he was a student at Chiba Sobu High School, so it was not surprising that he recognized her.
...But it is difficult for Jianshan to connect Li Nian in front of him with that boy.
Like everyone who knew about his change, Li Nian was not surprised to see Isayama's face full of disbelief. He turned around and looked around, and found that many people were looking at the situation at the door, knowing that it was not a good place to talk.
"Let's talk in another place."
Carrying her schoolbag, Li Nian walked past Jianshan and headed towards the corridor.
Only then did Isayama notice the gazes in the classroom being cast upon him. He immediately understood and turned around to follow him.
Li Nian confirmed that there was no one around who could hear the conversation, and then began to explain using the reasons he had already thought of.
"I did say that, didn't I? I said that I was affected by that spiritual disaster, and all the changes that happened to me were because of that."
But Isayama disagrees.
"We carefully checked the physical conditions of all the victims at the time. Many people were affected by the scattered spiritual energy... but you were not one of them. You..." Jianshan hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and shook off his concerns before continuing, "When the spiritual disaster occurred, you were far away from the center."
The "you" she was referring to were Li Nian's family.
The center of the spiritual disaster was the area where the pillar of black gas was located. When the incident happened, Li Nian and his parents were actually very far away. The unexpected disaster they suffered was because the shock wave caused the collapse of the building, and they were not directly affected by the spiritual disaster.
Li Nian did not mention the death of her parents and answered calmly.
"I thought so at the time, but it seems that you didn't find the problem. One night after I returned to Chiba after the spiritual disaster, I suddenly felt something explode inside my body. Something was wreaking havoc inside me. I fainted from the pain, and when I woke up, I found that I had awakened the ability to see ghosts... and my body had become what it is now."
He thought and spoke, making up a half-truthful story that seemed to make some sense.
"But……"
Jianshan opened her mouth, but was a little speechless. Her education made her feel that Li Nian's statement was not in line with the theory, but if the person in front of her was really Li Nian, then the naked fact was in front of her. As she saw, this man had become like this, and he had also awakened the ability to see ghosts.
If it weren't for the influence of the spiritual disaster, Huang Quan would not be able to understand why such a huge change would happen to a person.
Li Nian said that one night, he felt an explosion of power in his body... It sounded like the impact of the spiritual disaster he suffered did not manifest immediately at that time, but was dormant in his body. If this is the case, it is indeed possible that a crude examination would not detect the problem.
As Li Nian thought, Isayama didn't really doubt that he was lying, and he consciously completed the settings, but he still didn't think it through clearly.
"That shouldn't be the case... Could it be that something escaped at that time..."
Li Nian's ears moved slightly, catching the tiny sound of Isayama's muttering, because some of the words caught his attention.
What? What else escaped?
Li Nian was somewhat concerned and glanced at Jianshan behind him, only to see that she had a thoughtful expression.
She was thinking that if what Li Nian said was true, because it was not detected during the examination at that time, he was invaded by spiritual energy during the spiritual disaster and it was not resolved, which led to an outbreak in the past half month, transforming his body into this, uh, abnormal appearance...
"You must undergo another examination." Isayama suddenly said seriously, "Detailed."
Li Nian was still thinking about what Isayama meant by what she said before. She didn't expect her to bring up this topic again. She was stunned for a moment. She felt that there was nothing wrong with her body, so why should she do such a meaningless thing? She subconsciously wanted to refuse, but then she thought again, and felt that if the examination showed no problems, everything would be settled, and no one could question it, so she nodded.
Li Nian was reluctant to accept Jianshan's examination before, but now he suddenly changed his mind and agreed, which made Jianshan feel relieved. As if to comfort him, Jianshan continued.
"Don't worry. I know a very good Yin-Yang doctor. He is many times more professional than me. If there is a problem that was not detected at the beginning, he will definitely find it."
"Then I feel relieved." Li Nian replied calmly, not actually caring.
At this time, the two had crossed the overpass connecting the buildings and came to another teaching building. The population here was obviously sparse. Li Nian stopped and turned to face Jianshan.
"By the way, how about I want to become an exorcist?"
He asked about the topic, and Isayama was silent for a while before he spoke.
"…Before that, I have a question for you."
"You ask."
