Любовь с корыстными мотивами

Глава 5

That evening, apart from Li Ke and Xu Xian, the other four were playing cards. Li Ke was reading in bed, with someone else beside him...

Xu Xian, who had just moved in, kept looking in the mirror. (Note: Li Ke and Xu Xian shared an upper bunk, specifically the two south-facing bunks.)

Li Ke, who slept on the upper bunk of the bed, rarely played cards and mostly spent his time reading in bed, while Xu Xian didn't know how to play cards at all.

He spends all his time lying in bed, either reading (not serious books) or busy looking in the mirror and combing his hair. It's really unbearable.

That's it...

"Hey, Xu Xian, you may be alright looking, but there's no need to judge me like that!"

Xu Xian continued, this time changing direction and facing the wall. "Hey, I have a pimple on my face, it's so ugly!"

I wanted to try looking at him more often, to see if it would go down sooner.

The other five people almost died laughing when they heard what he said. "Hey, look at you, acting like a woman with a man's face."

It's no wonder he gets bumps on his head.

Zhang Xiaodi took out her "Zeping Acne Cleanser" and handed it to Xu Xian, "Hey, handsome, just apply it and it'll be fine, try it."

"If it doesn't work well, you can return it."

Xu Xian didn't stand on ceremony and took it, wiping it off immediately. "Ugh, the lighting is really bad. I'll come down and check it under the lamplight."

"That's better." Then he turned and jumped off the bed, grabbed a mirror from the floor, and searched left and right until he finally found good lighting, then smiled with satisfaction.

Alright. Seeing that it was almost time, they all packed up and went to sleep.

Reply [8]: The next morning, after everyone had washed up, they were off to go to class. Zhang Xiaodi was the first to open the door and was stunned.

Li Ke stopped, seeing Zhang Xiaodi blocking the doorway. He pushed him aside, then froze, followed by the other three. They turned around.

They looked at Xu Xian. Xu Xian simply smiled and said, "Let's go to class first! We'll talk again when we get back at noon." So everyone went to class with trepidation.

.

It turns out that Xu Xian had pasted two door gods on the door earlier, but for some reason, they were so worn that they looked like they had been there for over ten years.

And it lay lifeless on the ground, surrounded by something that looked like it had been smoked, all blackened. Everyone who saw this was stunned.

Strange!

Everyone was distracted in class all morning. As soon as the bell rang, they didn't even eat lunch, and immediately dragged Xu Xian back to the dormitory. (Looking at Xu Xian...)

The pitiful boy looked at the five older men beside him and said in a pathetic voice, "I want to eat, what do you want?" He was met with ten stares from the five men.

Shi glared back, "No way!" To onlookers, it would look like the girls in their dorm disliked the newcomer and were about to have a fight!

Back in the dorm, everyone was eagerly asking, "What happened?"

Xu Xian sat down on Zhang Xiaodi's bed, and everyone else followed suit.

Xu Xian took his mirror out from under Zhang Xiaodi's pillow. Zhang Xiaodi looked at it incredulously: "You..."

"When did you put your lousy mirror under my pillow?" He remembered looking at himself in that mirror all day yesterday.

Xu Xian chuckled and shoved the mirror into his hand. "A broken mirror?"

Zhang Xiaodi looked at herself in Xu Xian's mirror for a long time, then looked at herself, and said with a smile, "It's nothing! Just normal."

It's just a mirror!

Xu Xian picked up a pen holder from the table, grabbed Zhang Xiaodi's hand, and held the mirror up to the pen holder. "It's alright."

"Huh?" Zhang Xiaodi's smile vanished instantly, replaced by astonishment.

Xu Xian smiled and gestured for the others to come and look. They were all stunned; the pen holder's reflection in the mirror was actually a bamboo root.

"Could this be the legendary demon-revealing mirror?" But as soon as Xu Xian's hand left Zhang Xiaodi's wrist, the image turned back into a pen holder.

Alright.

Everyone stared at Xu Xian, waiting for him to give them an explanation.

"This is a Yin-Yang Mirror commonly used in the Dharma Realm; it is only effective when used by someone with magical powers!"

The four people nodded and continued to watch Xu Xian.

At this moment, Xu Xian suddenly stopped his carefree smile, which made everyone who was serious stand up straight.

He told everyone, word by word, about his discoveries over the past few days.

"I noticed something unusual about this place on my first day here, so I burned a talisman to ward off evil spirits, hoping it would keep them away."

So the ghost you mentioned that night didn't appear.

Liu Quan asked in confusion, "But I remember you had a fever every day! How did the ghost get in?"

Zhang Xiaodi chimed in, "Yeah! Didn't you say your talisman was very effective, and that ordinary ghosts couldn't get in?"

Xu Xian casually ruffled his hair and continued, "Yes! Ordinary ghosts can't get in. I'm not lying to you. But you can ask..."

The problem is, she doesn't seem to be an ordinary ghost!

Everyone broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing this, mentally preparing for the worst, imagining their classmate turning into a ghost.

Wow, he's pretty impressive! Then I listened to him continue...

"Do you really think I'm that vain because I look in the mirror every day? I'm looking at some ghost! And yesterday I finally..."

"Look carefully now!"

Everyone held their breath as he described what the ghost looked like.

"In my opinion, that ghost should be a female ghost. Judging from her appearance, she should be around 20 years old."

The others unconsciously gasped. The age was right!

"You have really big eyes!"

Five more breaths. Yes, her eyes are indeed quite big!

"High nose bridge!"
