Chapter 25: Abandoned Railway Line – Get Off the Train at the Abandoned Station (3)
While Xu Shenxing was excitedly folding the paper, someone poked his head.
He subconsciously thought that it was Jiangyue, so he didn’t raise his head and just brushed the handoff, then said, “Quit it. I’m almost done…”
Then he immediately felt something was wrong.
Though Jiangyue got closer with him due to the paper folding, she was a very shy child. Up till now, she never actively approached Xu Shenxing, and also didn’t let Xu Shenxing talk to her longer than a certain period of time.
He looked up quickly and found the store manager of the convenience store had been back since G.o.d knows when. The store manager was looking at him with a half-smile.
“What a surprise.” The store manager looked at the counter, which was crammed with folded papers, then turning his sight to the notepad, which had been violated of all its paper. Afterwards, his half smile became more sarcastic. “I didn’t expect that you are so playful and childish.”
On the side, Jiangyue folded her hands as she bowed to Xu Shenxing. It seemed that she also didn’t notice the store manager come here, so she didn’t alert him.
In the end, Xu Shenxing was too embarra.s.sed that he couldn’t remember how he ran away from the convenience store as the store manager teased him.
“I’m really sorry! If I found him earlier…”
“It’s not your fault.” Xu Shenxing smiled as if he was broken, “If I still maintained my thoroughly tempered perception… It’s already too late… Ha ha ha, what a world. How about destroy it…”
He maintained this broken state till they came to the abandoned dormitory behind Jiangjin university.
Incidentally, Xu Shenxing had already lost the ability to guide the way. It was all depending on the spirit ghosts to guide them to go there…
“What’s wrong with him?” The G.o.d of Land had waited in the dormitory. She asked curiously as she put aside the 3DS, looking at Xu Shenxing, who was still murmuring “The store manager is a demon”, “Why couldn’t I find him”, “My life has been destroyed” and so on.
Jiangyue was going to speak to the G.o.d of Land, but Xu Shenxing covered her mouth at lightening speed. He clasped Jiangyue in his arms and ferociously warned her, “Don’t say! Never say it! If you said it, I would make the whole world buried with my sense of shame!”
“You make me more curious…” The G.o.d of Land whispered. However, didn’t know if she was worried about the safety of the world or only thought that Xu Shenxing’s hysterical behavior was too miserable, she didn’t continue. She turned her sight to the girl and said, “This child… seems she isn’t a human being.”
“Yes. You noticed as well.”
After turning into the serious topic, Xu Shenxing slightly returned to normal. He slightly loosened his arms.
“Because if she were a real human female, she would shout ‘Pervert!’ or ‘Rogue!’ since you clasped her so tightly in your arms.”
Incidentally, Jiangyue didn’t show shyness or anger in his arms. She just blinked her claret eyes and seemed a little surprised.
“You found the truth from this angle?! By the way, I think you are tortuously swearing at me…”
After Xu Shenxing finished his speech, the G.o.d of Land took out a smartphone. She clicked the b.u.t.ton and took a photo of them.
“Don’t take photos!…By the way, you have a smartphone?”
“‘I just saw a pervert was taking advantage of a doll!’ Uploading the photo… Done… Ok, ok, I won’t take pictures.” The G.o.d of Land put the smartphone back in her pocket as Xu Shenxing shouted: “You not only took the photo but also uploaded it onto the Internet!”
“Is it strange to have a smartphone in this era?”
“…”
It was pretty reasonable, but Xu Shenxing still thought that something was wrong.
“Since you have a smartphone, may I have your phone number?” Xu Shenxing took out his old flip phone, which was already behind the times.
This girl always came and went like a shadow. It wasn’t easy to find her. For example, if he had her phone number, she would have been able to help him a lot last night.
“I decline.”
“Hey!”
“You want to get a girl’s phone number by simply using such an old-fashioned method? Not enough! It’s far from enough!” The girl covered her face with one hand and twisted her slender body (or more accurate, matchstick-like body) into an incredible curve… If Moli was here, probably she would immediately recognize that it was the so-called “JoJo posture”!
However, Xu Shenxing hadn’t watched this animation, so he didn’t know it. He just sighed that the girl was worthy of being called “The G.o.d.” If she was an ordinary person, her back should already be dislocated…
“You are still a female ‘child’…” He said meaningfully as he looked at the mushroom-headed G.o.d of Land’s thin body.
“… So arrogant! So frivolous! You mortal, how dare you to offend the G.o.d! I will punish you!”
After about ten seconds later.
“I’m sorry! I was wrong!” The G.o.d of Land lay on the ground and apologized to Xu Shenxing.
Jiangyue clapped her hands.
Perhaps this girl thought that they were performing a comic dialogue…
“Stop playing… can you explain what happened to Jiangyue?” Xu Shenxing asked.
“Did you see the aurora last night?” The G.o.d of Land suddenly talked about an unrelated topic.
“I saw it, but there was no change last night, right?”
Xu Shenxing and Qin Xingyan kept watching for the whole night but found nothing. Apparently, he had a lot of complaints about it.
“Many of the changes are not immediately, but imperceptible. This girl is the last old train in the city, right? Many of her routes are coinciding with the leylines of Jiangjin City. It’s normal that she can wake up so early…” The G.o.d of Land sighed, “Unfortunately, this is probably not a good thing…”
“What do you mean? Will the existence of Jiangyue bring any negative influence to Jiangjin City?” Xu Shenxing frowned.
Though he met with the girl just half a day, he had understood that such a pure girl couldn’t be a bad guy (Though her tone was a little sharp). It would be fine if she was a stranger, but he couldn’t imagine that he would push himself to put his hand to an acquaintance.
“Be at ease. You don’t have to do anything.” The G.o.d of Land shook her head and said, “Jiangyue Railway Line will be abandoned. After losing the meaning of her existence, she will disappear soon after.”
“…”
Xu Shenxing couldn’t help but remain silent as he thought back about the news he heard from his cla.s.smates today morning.
