After my soul traveled through time and space, I became the male protagonist Bai Yueguang
Chapter 45 Entering the Community
Shen Zhao had a lot more free time after he stopped having evening self-study. When the afternoon bell rang, Xu Ke invited Shen Zhao to have afternoon tea to relax, but Shen Zhao refused with various reasons.
Ma Shuyi pulled Xu Ke over and said, "You have invited her so many times, and now she doesn't have to study in the evening, she is so shameless!"
Ma Shuyi's voice was very loud, so of course Shen Zhao heard it, but due to her nature, she would not bother with her. After all, she was just protecting Xu Ke.
Shen Zhao walked over to Xu Ke, sighed, and explained sincerely: "It's not that I don't want to have afternoon tea with you, but I really have something to do, please forgive me."
Xu Ke's face turned red. She didn't expect Shen Zhao to apologize to her in such a formal way. She waved her hand and said, "No, I don't have to go. Since you don't want to go, Shu Yi and I will leave first."
After saying that, she glared at Ma Shuyi, who curled his lips, and they walked away together.
Shen Zhao glanced at their backs, picked up her empty schoolbag and walked towards the back door of the school. She had to make good use of the three hours of free time, and she couldn't go out through the front door. Otherwise, she would be easily recognized by the security guard. If the security guard said something extra, she didn't know how to explain to Mu Yanchen. That man trusted her so much, but he didn't know that Shen Zhao had changed his mind a long time ago. Who could believe in resurrection?
The back door of Deyan Middle School leads to a narrow street with high walls on both sides of the street. One side is the wall of Deyan Middle School, and the other side is that of an old residential area. The walls are decorated with sharp rusty iron and cannot be easily climbed over. It is more like a narrow corridor than a street. There are exits at both ends, and only one person can enter. A lamp with unstable voltage is hung on the wall in the middle, which is sometimes on and sometimes off. There is not even any surveillance.
It is a back street like this. Normal students of Deyan Middle School will not go out through the back door, which makes it convenient for Shen Zhao to act. However, the back street also has its disadvantages. Because there is no surveillance, many bad students gather in the back street.
When Shen Zhao went out from the back door, she saw several people squatting at the exit of the back street. She stared at those young men vigilantly. It was obvious that they didn't want her to pass at all. One of them even tilted his head and blew smoke at her, glancing at her frivolously.
A young man with short black hair walked out, stepped over several squatting boys, and came in front of Shen Zhao.
He lowered his head, and when Shen Zhao raised his eyes, he met his unruly drooping eyes. The winter nights in H City get dark early, and Shen Zhao's face could not be seen clearly at first. He only knew that a person walked out of Deyan's back door, and then slowly walked towards him. As she got closer, Ji Zhengxuan saw the person clearly. Her beautiful face was revealed under the light, and a moment of surprise flashed in his eyes. He stared at her playfully, as if staring at a prey.
Ji Zhengxuan had a nose stud on his nose and another on his lip, and several earrings hanging from his ears, which glowed black under the light. Shen Zhao's first impression of Ji Zhengxuan was that he was difficult to get along with, and what he said was indeed true.
"Do you want to go there?"
Shen Zhao frowned, but she didn't show any sign of cowardice. If she were a normal good girl, she would have cried out of fear in such a situation, but Shen Zhao didn't. She looked at him calmly and asked, "Can you please make way?"
Ji Zhengxuan curled his lips slightly and licked his lips with the tip of his tongue. "It's not impossible, but do you have anything to pledge?"
Shen Zhao glanced at him. If "she" was still alive, she would be about the same age as him. Judging from his attitude, she was afraid that she would not be able to leave this back street without pawning something. She sighed and had to admit defeat. She took her schoolbag, reached into it and took out a banknote, which she had exchanged in the school canteen before. She was afraid that her spending during this period would arouse Mu Yanchen's suspicion, so she prepared it in advance.
The banknote was waved in front of Ji Zhengxuan's eyes. When other young people thought that Ji Zhengxuan should accept it, Ji Zhengxuan refused.
He looked slightly dissatisfied, but there was still a hint of a smile on his face, but the smile didn't reach his eyes. "Are you sending me away?"
Shen Zhao saw that he was dissatisfied, and felt a little unhappy. His temper also rose, "Brother, look carefully, this is a hundred yuan! I didn't cause any trouble to you, but you are picking on me?"
Adhering to the principle of less trouble is worse than more, Shen Zhao did have the idea of getting rid of him, but who could blame him for being so ignorant?
The other young men were all trying to hold back their laughter, but Ji Zhengxuan was not embarrassed at all, and he was very thick-skinned. "I don't need this, you can give me something else."
Shen Zhao glared at him impatiently, "What do you want?"
"Your cell phone number."
Shen Zhao rolled his eyes at him and decisively took out his phone. "I guess since I gave you my phone number, you should save one in my phone, right?"
"You're quite smart."
Shen Zhao handed over the phone, ready to make a quick decision. Ji Zhengxuan took the phone and opened Shen Zhao's address book. There were very few people in it, and the first one was "Mu Yanchen". He concealed the surprise in his eyes, glanced at the slightly impatient girl, and hurriedly entered his own phone number and made a note. His name was immediately ranked first, overshadowing Mu Yanchen's, and then he clicked and dialed.
He threw the phone back casually. Shen Zhao didn't expect him to be so bad. She almost couldn't catch it and the phone broke into pieces. She stared at him with her beautiful eyes full of fire.
But Ji Zhengxuan was calm and didn't take it seriously at all, "Okay, you can go now."
After hearing Ji Zhengxuan's words, several young men squatting at the exit of the back street stood up and made way.
As Shen Zhao walked out of the back street, he did not forget to glare at him fiercely.
"Boss, are you just going to let her go like this? This back street is not something that ordinary people can step into." A young man stood up and said to Ji Zhengxuan.
He turned the phone in his hand and looked at Shen Zhao's back with interest. "She is indeed not an ordinary person." Ordinary people are not qualified to know Mu Yanchen, the legendary seventh son of the Mu family. He glanced at the inconspicuous young man standing aside. "You, follow her. You don't need to get too close. Just watch where she goes and who she contacts."
The young man was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and said "yes".
While Shen Zhao was not far away, the young man chased after him from behind.
Shen Zhao walked to the side of the road and stopped a taxi. "Master, please go to No. 33 Luhu Road."
The taxi soon stopped in front of the gate of No. 33 Luhu Road. Shen Zhao handed the driver a banknote, which was the same one she had just given to Ji Zhengxuan.
The master glanced at the banknotes and curled his lips, "Miss, who still uses banknotes nowadays?"
Shen Zhao stared at him with cold eyes, "You don't want to accept it?"
The master felt an invisible pressure from the little girl, as if Shen Zhao would put him in an awkward situation in the next moment. He pursed his lips awkwardly and reluctantly took the banknote from Shen Zhao's hand. He asked again, "I can always scan the code for change, right? I don't have that much cash."
Shen Zhao nodded and showed the QR code.
Mu Yanchen wouldn't be informed of the money collected through the QR code, so Shen Zhao did it with peace of mind.
She got out of the car and stood in front of the gate of Luhu Yajing. It had been a month since she last came here. At that time, she ran into Xiao Yi and Dai Weiwei. She suppressed the coldness in her eyes and stood aside, quietly observing the busy security guard at the gate of the community and the luxury cars coming in and out.
This is the high-end residential area where Sheng Baiyi lives. Since joining Xinrui Pharmaceutical Company, Sheng Baiyi has never worried about money. She even bought the house in Luhu Yajing in full. At a young age, she bought a house that many people dream of in the city center of H City. Unfortunately, the house became vacant not long after she moved in.
Sheng Baiyi's ex-boyfriend Xiao Yi also lives in this community, but Xiao Yi did not buy his house, he rented it. In order to show his independence, Xiao Yi did not live in Sheng Baiyi's house, but chose to rent a house not far from Sheng Baiyi. The two houses were about 300 meters apart. He said that he would buy the house as their wedding house after saving up the down payment. Seeing his sincerity, Sheng Baiyi naturally agreed.
There was no later.
Shen Zhao looked for a while and walked directly to the security booth. The security of Luhu Yajing was good, and outsiders would not be allowed in easily, so if she wanted to go in, she would naturally have to have some reasons. She remembered that there was a family in the house where she lived who had a dog and took it for a walk twice a day. The time was just right, so she walked up to the security guard and said, "Hello."
The security guard glanced at her from head to toe, and seeing that she was a student, he lowered his guard. "Are you in trouble? This is not a place for students to play around. If you don't have anything to do, please leave."
Shen Zhao smiled slightly, sunny and bright, making people feel good and couldn't help but get closer. The young security guard was no exception. Her soft voice sounded, "The old lady in Room 302, Building A, asked me to walk the dog."
The security guard thought what she said made sense and said, "Wait a moment."
He picked up the phone and dialed the old lady's room number. After a while, the security guard glanced at Shen Zhao with a warmer look. After hanging up the phone, he walked up to Shen Zhao and said, "You can go in."
"Thank you."
"Wait," the security guard called Shen Zhao. He ran back to the security booth and found an access card in the cabinet. He hurried back and handed the access card to Shen Zhao. "This is from the old lady. Go in directly next time."
Shen Zhao took the access card and walked into this high-end residential area openly.
The old lady actually did not hire anyone to walk her dog, but she remembered that she was an elderly widower suffering from hysteria. Every time she went downstairs to walk the dog, she walked very slowly, as if waiting for someone to come back. Once, when she came home from get off work, she ran into her going downstairs to walk the dog. The old lady walked up to her with Xiaobai in her hand, with tears in her eyes, calling her "Ai Ai". Only then did she know that the old lady had been waiting for her granddaughter to come back with Xiaobai. Her granddaughter was named "Ai Ai", who died in an accident a few years ago. At that time, the old lady often treated her as "Ai Ai", and this time was no exception.
She walked all the way to Building A with her room card, and then pressed the elevator button with her access card until she reached the sixth floor. This building had two households per elevator, and Sheng Baiyi lived in Room 601. She walked out of the elevator, and to the left was her former main residence. She only took a look and then got back into the elevator. The whole process was as natural as a stranger walking into an unfamiliar environment. She pressed the elevator button again, reached the third floor, walked to the door of the old lady's room, and pressed her doorbell.
With just one glance, she saw the situation of her home clearly. There were several yellow cordons blocking the door. It was clearly her house, but she was blocked outside the yellow lines. She smiled bitterly, feeling an inexplicable dull pain in her heart.
The old lady quickly opened the door and saw it was Shen Zhao. She called out, "Ai Ai, you're back." Xiaobai also rushed out from behind the old lady and threw himself on Shen Zhao, not shy at all.
Shen Zhao responded, walked into the house familiarly, and took Xiaobai's leash, "Grandma, I'm going to take Xiaobai for a walk."
The old lady's eyes were filled with tears. "Ai Ai, don't leave grandma. You've been out for too long this time. It's been a month. You promised to take Xiaobai for a walk."
Seeing the old lady crying, Shen Zhao hurried over, bent over and gently wiped her tears with a tissue, "I won't do it again next time, I promise."
The old lady suddenly held Shen Zhao's hand tightly, her eyes were extremely stubborn, "It's settled, don't lie to me again."
"Okay." Shen Zhao agreed easily.
She was walking Xiaobai in the community, so of course she could go anywhere, so she walked slowly on the path, and then slowly approached Building C. She stopped not far away, looked at the lighted room on the fourth floor, and suddenly smiled. Xiaobai started barking because of her pause, which attracted the attention of the residents. Many people stuck their heads out from the balcony to see what was going on.
Shen Zhao's smile suddenly faded. When she wasn't smiling, she gave people a feeling of sadness and compassion. She and Sheng Baiyi had two opposite temperaments. She saw Xiao Yi holding Dai Weiwei and looking down at her. She raised her head and their eyes met at that moment. Xiao Yi felt a chill running up his back. When he looked down again, Shen Zhao had already looked away and returned to Building A with Xiao Bai.
Dai Weiwei was right beside Xiao Yi, so she naturally felt Xiao Yi's fear at that moment. She looked at him worriedly, "What's wrong with you? Are you distracted?"
Xiao Yi looked at the green path in the community. There was only a girl walking her dog there, and no one else. The chill he felt just now seemed like an illusion. He shook his head, glanced at Dai Weiwei beside him tenderly, and held her hand a little tighter. "It's okay. Maybe it's because of the recent work pressure that I'm hallucinating."
"What did you see?" Dai Weiwei couldn't help but ask. She and Xiao Yi were not from the same company. She had been coveting Xiao Yi for a long time and had finally snatched him from Sheng Baiyi. She had to keep a close eye on him, otherwise he would be seduced by other vixens and she would lose everything!
Xiao Yi frowned and said hesitantly, "I seemed to have seen Yi Yi just now."
He still called her name affectionately, even though that person no longer existed. This made Dai Weiwei feel sour and her heart ached as if someone was squeezing it.
She tried her best to maintain her gentle and virtuous side, "But... didn't she steal the company's information and run away, and also... committed suicide..."
Xiao Yi pinched his brows and said, "Maybe I really am overthinking it."
Sheng Baiyi's death did not make him very sad. Even when he heard the news of her death, he only felt regretful, but not painful, because she was just a woman he could never possess.
Dai Weiwei said, "This place is not auspicious, why don't we live somewhere else?"
