Chapter 83: Roommate Meeting
Bai Cha arrived at the school.
Before coming, she had already started investigating the residential area she saw in her dream.
Her previous roommate had provided her with a lot of useful information, such as which road the residential area was near, and there were only a few in total.
So she had actually confirmed the location of the residential area, but she still came to the school.
She wanted to meet Gu Baixue’s roommate.
She had other things she wanted to ask.
Bai Cha looked at Wang Siyao’s phone number on her phone, then looked around. She had come specifically early because she didn’t know Wang Siyao.
So she had to let Wang Siyao find her.
Bai Cha dialed Wang Siyao’s number.
“Hello, Xiaoxue, have you arrived already?” Wang Siyao’s voice came through immediately.
“Yes, I’m standing at the south gate of the school now.”
“Okay, wait for me, I’ll be there in about 10 minutes.” Wang Siyao readily agreed.
Only then did Bai Cha hang up the phone and start browsing her phone. This way, when Wang Siyao arrived, she would come directly to her side, without worrying about seeing someone she didn’t recognize while waiting and arousing suspicion.
[Ah… the roommate is quite nice, it’s rare to have such an NPC who can provide information]
[Speaking of which, the Buddha statue in that previous picture, I feel like I’ve seen it in another instance before?]
[Really? Didn’t see it]
[Maybe things of this kind are all quite similar]
[However, if it’s discovered that she’s not Gu Baixue while interacting with the roommate, people will die directly, right? The streamer is quite bold]
[Moreover, she’s already gotten more information in her dream. I think the streamer probably already knows the ex-boyfriend’s address, so it’s actually unnecessary to go to this trouble, right?]
[This is the first such solo live stream I’ve ever seen. The streamer used to at least have a few interactions]
The current plot is relatively stable, after all, the chat can’t see what’s happening in the dream. Therefore, everyone is bored and complaining.
Bai Cha, however, paid more attention to the comment that said they had seen the Buddha statue.
It’s indeed a pity that there can be no interaction in this live stream.
Speaking of which, she should have gone to work today.
But ha, her father is dead, who would want to go to work?
So Bai Cha took another leave of absence.
Wang Siyao arrived.
As Bai Cha had expected, she was looking down and constantly scrolling through her phone, looking very anxious. Wang Siyao came directly to her side and patted her.
“Xiaoxue!”
Wang Siyao was a girl with a baby face and a petite figure. She looked very cute when she smiled, and at this moment, her eyes were filled with concern and closeness.
“Are you okay? Heavens, why does your face look so bad?” Wang Siyao couldn’t help but reach out and touch Gu Baixue’s face.
“Haven’t you been resting well lately?”
Bai Cha nodded, her tone full of undisguised fatigue, and her throat still hadn’t recovered, making her sound even worse. “He kept pestering me… but last night, in my dream, I seemed to see the address. But just having the address isn’t enough, it should be quite dangerous in there.”
Bai Cha’s brows furrowed with anxiety, and she reached out to grab Wang Siyao’s hand. “Actually, I mainly have a few questions I wanted to ask you today. You know my memory has problems, and you don’t remember his name either. But do you remember if I ever told you anything about him when I was dating him?”
Bai Cha went straight to the point, to avoid excessive interaction with the other party.
Her pleading gaze made Wang Siyao pat her shoulder. “Calm down first, let’s go inside. I’ve already spoken to the counselor. He’s coming to the school today too, and he agreed to meet us in the classroom.”
Wang Siyao took Bai Cha’s hand, and the two entered the school, talking as they walked.
Good, she didn’t have to pretend to know her way around the school.
Bai Cha’s eyes were slightly red as she said, “After I realized I couldn’t remember his name, I found that I had no impression of him at all. I only know that I once had a boyfriend who cheated and we broke up, but I don’t even remember why I started dating him.”
Wang Siyao’s face also showed seriousness.
“Now that you mention it…”
She tried hard to recall.
“It’s so blank. You didn’t really mention him much to us when you were dating him, you hate PDA. We did have meals together though… hmm…”
Wang Siyao racked her brains, and finally, she dug up some useful information from her past memories. “I remember, wasn’t that crystal ball the birthday gift he gave you in your junior year?”
“If I remember correctly, we all went out to eat together for your birthday that time, and your boyfriend was there too. He gave you a gift, and we all teased you, but you said you’d open it when you got back.”
“I even remember him saying, ‘I hope you can always be with me.’ Oh! It seems like it was that sentence. I thought it was a bit much at the time. After all, why should you always be with him, and not him with you… Thinking about that sentence now… yikes!”
Wang Siyao rubbed her arms, feeling goosebumps all over.
Bai Cha frowned, as if she also had some impression. “I remember that sentence he said, but that gift… did I show it to you after I got back? I don’t seem to remember having that thing.”
Wang Siyao thought for a moment and shook her head. “Let’s ask the other two. I wasn’t in the dorm much during that time. Didn’t I have something going on at home then?”
As Wang Siyao spoke, she casually started a group call in their chat group.
Huang Jingyi answered quickly, while Zhang Lining said to wait for her to go to the restroom before answering, and she joined two minutes later.
“What’s wrong? What’s wrong? Is Xiaoxue okay?”
The roommates were all concerned about Gu Baixue.
A slight smile appeared on Bai Cha’s face. “I’m okay for now…”
“That’s good. That idiot scumbag is too hateful!”
“Don’t interrupt first, let me ask you something. Do you guys remember the crystal ball gift that Xiaoxue’s ex-boyfriend gave her before? It was back in college.”
Wang Siyao could see the anxiety beneath Bai Cha’s smile; her fingernails were almost bleeding from being bitten, so she spoke directly.
“Ah… I have an impression… but I didn’t see it. I remember Xiaoxue was quite happy after she opened it and told us she received a crystal ball music box. She said the music was composed by her ex-boyfriend and that she would show it to us after class.”
“Right, but it seemed like that day was quite busy. It was close to the holidays, and everyone was rushing to finish their designs. By the time we had free time, we seemed to have forgotten about it.”
Bai Cha seemed to be deep in thought.
If that was the case, then Gu Baixue might have been targeted since then.
But why did something happen only after several years?
“I remembered something.” Zhang Lining suddenly lowered her voice. “Xiaoxue, do you remember when we were interning in our senior year, there was a period when you told us you kept having nightmares? You said you always dreamed of burning incense, and you were burning four sticks.”
“At that time, I suggested you go to a temple to pray. I remember you even asked for a protective charm, right? Where’s your charm?”
Bai Cha was stunned and subconsciously touched her body.
“It seems… I lost it…”
She had specifically observed Gu Baixue’s place and indeed didn’t see any protective charm.
However, this wasn’t a big problem.
“I haven’t had nightmares in the past few years, so I forgot about it. You mentioning it reminded me. It seems like my charm went missing these past few days, but I was too busy to pay much attention…”
“Then why don’t you go get another one? Which temple did you get the previous one from?”
Good question.
She wanted to know too.
