Chapter 23 - Chapter 23: Conspiracy

It was already evening when the three of them returned to the dormitory. After dinner, they had nothing to do. They talked about their daytime affairs again, and the topic could not be separated from the luxury of Yangshan Hospital and the true relationship between Mu Dongyang and Bohe.

During the day, Fei Zhu was exhausted and didn't say much, but now she has come back to life in the dormitory. She kept talking about how good the hospital director was to her, how they waited for her to come out at the door, and so on. Her grateful expression made Cui Zizhi laugh and play with her all night long.

Xiaoji didn't participate too much in their chat because Mu Dongyang's words kept ringing in her ears. She put on a bracelet and pretended to be a substitute, which sounded extremely ridiculous, but once it involved Bohe, she couldn't laugh anymore.

Whether to agree or not is just a matter of opening and closing one's mouth, but if one really agrees, troubles will surely follow one after another. After all, Mu Dongyang is not an ordinary person, and saying 'no one knows' or' no one knows' is not just a joke. Being involved with him will never lead to a peaceful life. Moreover, one thing is that one must also find an opportunity to ask their parents about their so-called family background issues, so as not to constantly think and make themselves uneasy.

Why don't we just make a decision like this and let Xiaoji join us

Well, I got it. Huh, what? "In her wild thoughts, she suddenly heard her name called out. Xiao Ji reflexively responded, but after responding, she realized something was wrong and quickly looked at the two of them.

Cui Zizhi was lying on the bed wrapped in a blanket, her mouth slightly open, and she looked up at her with an irreparable gaze. After confirming that Xiao Ji had indeed not heard what she said, she had to repeat it again.

I mean, it's rare for a few of us not to go home on weekends. Why don't we go out for a walk tomorrow and buy some favorite little things to come back with

Shopping? But I

Don't always think about reading, since the grades haven't come out yet, let's go and relax first, "Fei Zhu suddenly interjected, interrupting her thoughts.

But I didn't... "She didn't think about reading, she just didn't really want to go out.

Xiao Ji wanted to explain, but seeing Fei Zhu's unique gaze and the textbook she was constantly flipping through, she suddenly thought of something and swallowed the rest of her words.

"Well, it's up to you the final say where to go tomorrow."

Let's go to Ximen Street, where we have everything to eat and play with. It's better for us to leave earlier, as some treasures may be lost if we arrive late

Everyone listens to you. "Cui Zizhi looked very excited, and Xiao Ji dared not say more to her. Before turning over, she deliberately muttered," It's getting late, everyone should rest, Fei Zhu shouldn't look anymore. It's okay to watch less

Hmm. "Someone next door responded, and then the bed shook. Fei Zhu got up and turned off the light.

The next day she said she had to wake up early, but Xiaoji didn't expect it to be so early. Before dawn, she was shaken awake by someone. Because she strongly suspected that Fei Zhu might be sleepwalking again last night, she spent the whole second half of the night in a state of half sleep and half wakefulness. After finally feeling a bit drowsy, when she opened her eyes, she saw Cui Zizhi's enlarged face.

Get up quickly, it's getting late. All the good things have been sold out

Although it was only morning, Xiaoji always felt that Cui Zizhi's face was glowing red, and her two bright eyes were filled with inexplicable excitement. However, when she sat up dazed and glanced at Fei Zhu, who was also half asleep and half awake but struggling to get out of bed, she suddenly regretted agreeing to go out.

When the three of them arrived at Ximen Street, it was only 8 o'clock in the morning, but the "treasure garden" mentioned by Cui Zizhi was already crowded with people. After seeing those people's early rush to buy, Xiaoji said she didn't want to go in anymore.

After a stalemate for half a day, both sides finally gave in to each other. Cui Zizhi and Fei Zhu went ahead to grab the goods, while Xiao Ji was eating and waiting at a small stall on the street for no more than two hours.

Two hours is like a blink of an eye for a girl who is frantically buying, but Xiaoji can't really sit there and eat for two hours, so as soon as they leave, she gets up and slowly walks inside.

Although it has been some days since I moved to this city, it is still my first time going shopping like this. Setting aside the initial awkwardness, after staying for a long time, Xiaoji can gradually feel the hustle and bustle of this city.

Firstly, there are those street vendors who shout like singing, and they sell a wide variety of things. Anyone who takes a few more glances at them will be completely entangled by them.

The current situation is like this, because at the beginning she didn't understand, before passing by a small jewelry stall, Xiaoji accidentally paid extra attention. With just one glance, she was completely entangled by the enthusiastic vendor and crazily promoted her products.

Little girl, look how beautiful this necklace looks. Your skin is fair, wearing one would definitely look beautiful

No, I have a necklace

Then take a look at these rings again. Nowadays, young girls are all in love with this. Wearing it and going out won't make anyone talk about whether you have a boyfriend or not

What does this sentence mean? Xiao Ji squinted her eyes and looked at the cheap iron ring in the vendor's hand. Suddenly, the ancestral bracelet of Mu Dongyang appeared in her mind, and she felt annoyed and said, "I don't want it, thank you. I have something else to do, don't pull me

Hey, little girl, it's okay not to buy it and take a look. Why don't you be picky again? Hey, what are you going for? You can't even afford this little money

Xiao Ji has already walked more than ten meters, but the vendor is still muttering incessantly. Hearing this, she felt a wave of annoyance in her heart. In the end, she didn't even look in the direction and crossed over when she saw a small path.

I didn't expect that as soon as I passed by, the flow of people suddenly decreased significantly. It was only one alley away, but the street took on a different scenery. Behind Ximen Street is an old street, non-commercial. The street is lined with old-fashioned stone warehouses, made of bluestone bricks and tiles, and the square bluestone stones on the ground make a clanging sound.

At first sight of this deserted path, Xiaoji had planned to return the same way, but when she thought about the noise on Ximen Street, she felt a strong sense of rejection in her heart and decided to continue walking in the wrong direction.

After two hours of talking about whether it was long or short, Xiaoji walked slowly, enjoying the rare quietness. However, not long after, the road ahead was blocked by an old residential house.

It's a dead end

She couldn't walk on the road, so she had to turn back the same way. When she came back, she didn't meet many people and waited until she turned out of the last small alley before seeing someone come in from outside.

Two teenagers came in, wearing simple white shirts. They were speaking while walking with their heads down. It wasn't until they were in front of Xiao Ji that someone looked up at her.

When the person looked up, Xiao Ji happened to be looking at him too. She felt those eyes flickering stealthily, and when the person lightly arched their companion's waist with their elbow, an inexplicable alarm suddenly sounded in their heart.

Not good, they seem to have something wrong!

Sure enough, the young man next to her also glanced at Xiao Ji, and then both of them turned around and followed quickly.
