Chapter 569 White Jade
Chapter 569 White Jade
Uncle Lin immediately stepped forward to take the brocade box and said, "Thank you, Principal. We appreciate your kindness. We will keep the cup."
The principal wanted to stay and have dinner with him, but Lin Shuwan refused: "Principal, please be busy with your official duties. I won't bother you."
"Brother Yanger~! Oh my gosh! I finally found you guys."
As soon as the principal and his party left, Zhang Zhili's voice came over. Turning around, I saw him leading Tang Jiu towards this side, and behind them were a group of housekeepers and bodyguards.
Su Yang quickly asked them to sit down and asked, "How did you get here? Why didn't I see you just now?"
Tang Jiu sat down and drank a sip of water, then pointed at Zhang Zhili and said, "His eldest grandson brought us here. His son wanted to come along, but this guy wouldn't let him, and he delayed us for quite a while."
Zhang Zhili scratched his head and smiled innocently, "I definitely can't let my son come. He's already in his seventies and eighties, not to mention that his legs and feet are not convenient. People who don't know the situation would think my grandfather is here."
The afternoon was spent touring the campus. The top floor of the library is their exclusive reading room, which has a more complete collection than the National Library, and even has several sets of rare books.
The VIP area of the gymnasium is equipped with customized fitness equipment and a constant temperature swimming pool next to it. The water is so clear that you can see the gold bricks inlaid on the bottom of the pool.
Even the cars used on campus are limited edition Ferrari sports cars, and the keys are placed on a tray in the lounge for easy access.
When school was about to end, Uncle Lin came over with his cell phone in hand: "Master, the car is ready and waiting at the South Gate. Also, I just received a message that a few classmates want to treat the three masters to dinner tonight, and they have already booked the best restaurants in the city. Take a look..."
"No." Su Xiang refused without thinking, lowered his head and asked Su Yang, "Brother, what do you want to eat tonight? Let the chef at home make it."
"It doesn't matter, I don't choose."
As they walked toward the south gate, the setting sun stretched everyone's shadows very long. Su Yang walked in front, jumping up and down with endless energy.
Su Xiang and Ming Xi were walking behind. Su Xiang's hand seemed to be casually placed on Ming Xi's shoulder, but his fingers were moving quietly in his clothes, making Ming Xi tense all over, but he dared not say anything. He could only blush and quickly catch up with Su Yang in front.
Outside the South Gate, dozens of cars had already formed a long queue. Beside the Rolls-Royce at the head, the drivers and servants were waiting with their heads bowed. The students around watched from a distance, and no one dared to approach.
When he got into the car, Su Yang leaned back in the seat and yawned. Su Xiang covered him with a blanket, then leaned close to Ming Xi's ear and whispered, "I'll go to your room when you fall asleep tonight."
Mingxi's face turned red instantly. She secretly glanced at Su Yang who was sleeping soundly and nodded slightly.

Let’s talk about Jian Yi again.
When the sky was bright, Jian Yi fell into a daze and fell asleep. Her dream was filled with the red shadow and the hoarse words "my child". She was so startled that she sat up suddenly and hit the bed with a muffled sound.
"Awake?" Zhou Ren's voice came from the lower bunk. Jian Yi looked down and found Zhou Ren sitting in front of her desk, holding a yellowed photo in his hand. Seeing that she was awake, he slowly put the photo on the table.
Song Ran had already packed up and was standing at the door with his bag on his back: "Hurry up, there will be a freshman meeting this morning, and your name will be recorded if you are late."
Jian Yi climbed down from the bed and shivered as soon as her feet touched the ground. The floor was cold, but she felt that the coldness was also accompanied by the chill of the shadow last night. She glanced at Zhou Ren's desk. The photo was covered, and she could only see a corner in black and white, like an old photo.
"What are you looking at?" Zhou Ren looked up at her with a smile on his face. "Want to see this photo?"
"I don't want to." Jian Yi turned around to wash up. The mirror in the bathroom was covered with a layer of steam. She turned on the faucet and splashed cold water on her face, which made her a little more awake. When she looked up, she saw herself in the mirror with a pale face and dark circles under her eyes, like a ghost who had not slept well.
She was about to lower her head to wipe her face when she suddenly caught a glimpse of something new in the mirror out of the corner of her eye.
In the mirror, behind her shoulder, there stood a red shadow, with long hair hanging down to her waist. Her face was covered by her hair, and only a pale hand could be seen on her shoulder.
Jian Yi's heart suddenly stopped beating, and she turned around abruptly. There was no one behind her, only a mottled tile wall. She turned back to look at the mirror again, and the shadow had disappeared. In the mirror, there was only her own frightened face, and her shoulders were empty.
"What's wrong? Your face is pale." Song Ran walked in with a cup of water in his hand, "Hurry up, there are still fifteen minutes."
Jian Yi didn't say anything, just stared at the mirror, water dripping down her cheeks, she couldn't tell whether it was warm water or cold sweat. She saw it clearly just now, that shadow was in the mirror, that hand... was on her shoulder.
Zhou Ren stood at the bathroom door at some point, leaning against the door frame and looking at her: "Did you see something in the mirror?"
Jian Yi turned his head to look at her, and suddenly felt that she was scarier than a ghost. Zhou Ren's eyes were terribly calm: "Mirrors in old buildings are all like this, and they easily attract things. Especially for someone like you...who has a special physique."
"What do you mean?" Jian Yi's voice was a little trembling.
"It's meaningless." Zhou Ren stood up, "If we don't leave now, we'll be late."
The freshman meeting was held in the school auditorium, which was packed with people. Jian Yi sat at the back, next to Song Ran. Zhou Ren went somewhere and did not sit with them.
The vice-principal on the stage was talking with saliva flying all over the place, but Jian Yi couldn't hear a word he said. His mind kept replaying the red shadow from last night and the hand in the mirror just now.
"What's wrong with you?" Song Ran came closer and lowered his voice, "You've been acting weird since I woke up this morning. Did you really see something last night?"
Jian Yi hesitated for a moment and nodded: "I saw a person in a red dress, lying on the edge of my bed, asking me if I had seen her child."
Song Ran's face turned pale instantly: "Really? It's not a dream?"
"It's not like a dream." Jian Yi's voice was very light, "Just now in the bathroom mirror, I saw her again."
Song Ran took a deep breath and subconsciously looked around, as if the shadow would be hidden in the crowd: "Why isn't Zhou Ren afraid at all? And he always says these scary things."
"I don't know." Jian Yi shook her head, her doubts growing deeper and deeper. Zhou Ren knew too much, and her calmness and "excitement" were definitely not the reactions of an ordinary student.
Just then, there was a commotion at the back door of the auditorium.
Jian Yi subconsciously turned around and saw a boy being led in by the principal. He was very tall, wearing a clean white shirt, with soft hair, fair skin, and incredibly delicate features, like a prince who walked out of a fairy tale book.
All the girls in the audience were whispering, and even the vice-principal on the stage paused.
"Who is that? He's so handsome, isn't he?"
"It seems like he's a transfer student. I heard he has connections, and he just reported in today."
"Oh my god, with this appearance, he must be the most handsome boy on campus!"
Jian Yi's gaze stayed on his face for two seconds, then moved away. She was not in the mood to pay attention to these things, but the boy's gaze fell directly on her.
His eyes were very clear, even a little... ignorant, like a seven or eight-year-old child, curious when he saw something new. Jian Yi felt a little uncomfortable when he was staring at her, frowned, and turned back to look at the stage.
Less than two minutes later, a shadow fell on the empty seat next to her. Jian Yi turned around and saw that the boy had walked over to her at some point, grinning at her, looking a little silly.
"Hello." He spoke in a soft voice, like, "My name is... uh, what's it? Yes! My name is Bai Yu."
She was stunned for a moment: "...Jian Yi."
"Jian Yi." He repeated it, as if savoring the two words, and then smiled again, his eyes curved into crescents, "I like you."
The surroundings suddenly became quiet, and several eyes were cast over at the same time. Jian Yi's face suddenly turned red, and he was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a hole to hide in: "You, what are you talking about?"
"I said I like you." Bai Yu said it very seriously, but he didn't control the volume well, so everyone around heard it and burst into laughter. He didn't seem to hear the laughter, but just looked at Jian Yi with sparkling eyes, "Hehe... I want to play with you."
Song Ran was trying to hold back his laughter so hard that his shoulders were shaking. Jian Yi was angry and embarrassed: "Classmate, we don't know each other, you..."
"Now we know each other." Bai Yu interrupted her, took out a White Rabbit candy from his pocket and handed it to her, "Here, eat it, it's sweet."
Jian Yi didn't take it, so he kept holding it up, with a bit of grievance in his eyes, like a rejected puppy. The laughter around him got louder, and Jian Yi had no choice but to take it: "Thank you."
