Chapter 27 Secret Investigation (2)

“Ay, I’m here to help you clean. Don’t worry!”

While we were chatting, I suddenly heard a female voice.

“Gu Yu, what a coincidence, are you also eating lunch here?”

I looked up and saw Su Xiaoyun standing right in front of us with a bag of steamed buns in her hand. She was friendly towards me, but totally ignored Shi Yitong.

“What are you talking about?”

“Urm…” I looked at Su Xiaoyun and quickly glanced over to Shi Yitong. He was acting like a coward and didn’t dare to look at her even after she showed up. At the same time, Su Xiaoyun refused to look at him too.

What were they doing? They were acting like a couple after an argument.

“We’re talking about demons.” They left me no choice but to be the first one to talk. I lifted my chin towards Shi Yitong. ” I asked him if we could go look at his grandfather’s belongings after class to see if there’s anything useful.”

“Why? Did you receive another weird request?” Su Xiaoyun was curious.

“Urm, no. I just want to investigate something. It’s hard to explain…”

Su Xiaoyun interrupted me before I could finish.

“Well, I want to go with you.” Su Xiaoyun smiled at me. “I need to buy something after school, so I have some time to help you during your investigation. What do you think?”

“Great, it’ll be a lot faster with three people!” I immediately agreed. I stamped on Shi Yitong’s foot when I saw his expressionless face.

“Urm…em…” Shi Yitong reluctantly opened his mouth, but Su Xiaoyun interjected before he could say a word.

“Okay, it’s a deal. I’ll meet you after school. Bye.” Su Xiaoyun waved her hand at me to say goodbye and left. She totally ignored Shi Yitong during the whole conversation.

“Are you an idiot?” I stared at Shi Yitong. He was such a coward.

“I..I don’t know what to do…” Shi Yitong wanted to cry but couldn’t even shed a single tear. “She didn’t even look at me, and I didn’t know what to say. Maybe she hates me so much that she refuses to talk to me anymore.”

I rolled my eyes and didn’t want to comment on his inability to read the mood. It was just typical of a straight guy like Shi Yitong. That girl clearly came here wanting to give him a chance to apologize to her, but he didn’t even seize this opportunity. I was speechless.

Whatever, this was between those two, I would let them solve it themselves. I wondered if Su Xiaoyun would forgive Shi Yitong who always overlooked those details.

After school, the three of us, along with Su Xiaoyun’s cat, took a ride to the house of Shi Yitong’s grandma. The atmosphere was so weird since Su Xiaoyun refused to talk to Shi Yitong, and Shi Yitong was so afraid that his goddess would hate him that he chose to sit by the window at the very back of the car.

I found myself caught in the crossfire and had to deal with both of them.

“So what you’re saying is that you’re looking for information to find out Wen Jiubo’s real identity, right?” Asked Su Xiaoyun.

I nodded. “En, Shi Yitong’s grandpa had a thick journal that recorded all kinds of anecdotes of Yan City. I think that maybe I can find something in there.”

“So, did you two have a fight or something?” Su Xiaoyun gently stroked Coo in her arm and asked.
