"Yeah! I know what you're saying, don't worry, I won't go off on some reckless adventure." Zhang Yuze nodded slightly, seemingly lost in thought.
He sighed, walking out onto the school's sports field. Watching the students playing ball, he sighed heavily again, thinking to himself, 'Why do people have so many troubles? Wouldn't it be better to live peacefully?' But sometimes, reality isn't as simple as he wished. It seemed the greater his abilities, the more extraordinary the situations he encountered, leaving him feeling somewhat overwhelmed.
"What's wrong? Why the sighs? This isn't the Zhang Yuze I know!" A familiar voice spoke from behind him.
Zhang Yuze was surprised, turning around to see Wu Xinyu, who was currently sucking on an Alps candy. Zhang Yuze was speechless.
"What are you doing here? Beautiful lady." Zhang Yuze gazed at Wu Xinyu, a faint smile appearing on his lips.
"Why can't I be here? I'm a ghost!" Wu Xinyu replied, looking at Zhang Yuze.
"Want some? It's really sweet." Wu Xinyu said, waving the lollipop in front of Zhang Yuze.
Zhang Yuze: "…"
"Will you come drink with me?" Zhang Yuze was feeling down, frowning as he looked at Wu Xinyu.
"You're inviting me for drinks? Do you have some ulterior motive?" Wu Xinyu's gaze was extremely wary.
Zhang Yuze looked at Wu Xinyu, feeling rather depressed. This little girl probably thought he was planning to get her drunk and then take advantage of her. While the idea did have its merits, Zhang Yuze currently wasn't in the mood.
"If you don't want to come, forget it. I won't force you." Zhang Yuze sighed deeply, gave Wu Xinyu a slight glance, and then turned away.
Wu Xinyu watched Zhang Yuze, seemingly noticing that he was feeling unwell, and then said to him, "Seeing how sincere you are, I guess I'll agree! But be warned, no funny business!"
Inside a hotel outside the school, Zhang Yuze ordered a case of beer. He and Wu Xinyu were drinking, taking sips from their glasses. Zhang Yuze didn't urge Wu Xinyu to drink; he was just drinking silently.
"You seem to be in a bad mood. Tell me, what's wrong?" Wu Xinyu smiled as she looked at Zhang Yuze, pouring herself some wine.
Zhang Yuze glanced at her, sighed, and then told her about how his second roommate had been kidnapped by the Zhu family.
"What? Those people are too outrageous! Yuze, you have to call the police." After hearing the whole story, Wu Xinyu was filled with righteous indignation.
Zhang Yuze shook his head, a bitter smile on his face as he sighed, "If the police were useful, these people wouldn't exist. So, I don't dare to rely on the police to help me."
