Rebirth: Ghost Exorciser

Because the matter was too serious, Counselor Zhang immediately agreed without thinking. However, after agreeing, he was still worried that something would happen to her if she went.

Chi Shuyan seemed to read Counselor Zhang's mind, and said, "Don't worry, I'll be fine!"

Seeing how calm the child in front of him was, Counselor Zhang subconsciously believed her. Seeing that Teacher Cai, who had come back to the washroom, had also gotten onto the bus, Counselor Zhang could only immediately take Chi Shuyan over and call out to Chen Jin, "Old Chen, come down for a bit. I have something to say to you!"

Chen Jin was a bit puzzled when he heard Counselor Zhang's words. He exchanged words with Old Yu and Teacher Cai before getting out of the car. Teacher Yu didn't say anything and just told him to hurry up.

On the other hand, Teacher Cai, who was new to Yanjing University, frowned tightly and said in a dark tone, "The driver is already in the bus, and it's about time. What if we delay the students?"

Chen Jin pretended not to hear Cai Xuanqiao and directly got down from the bus. Old Yu also treated the woman surnamed Cai as a stranger. He thought to himself that if Old Chen getting out of the bus to talk for a while now was delaying the students, why had this woman been in the washroom for so long just now? Wasn't that delaying the students?

If he didn't know that this woman had a close relationship with Director Huang, Old Yu would have said that out loud.

Seeing that the two of them treated her like she was invisible, Cai Xuanqiao was so angry that her mouth twisted.

Outside the bus, when he saw Chen Jin, Counselor Zhang immediately said, "Old Chen, I have a student who is especially interested in drawing, and can't help but be distracted from her studies. I've tried to persuade her, but she won't listen. So, can you help me take her with you in the afternoon, and see if she has any talent in drawing? That way, she can give up!"

Counselor Zhang couldn't think of an excuse on the spot, and could only lie through his teeth.

Chen Jin looked at Chi Shuyan, who was standing in front of Counselor Zhang, and was stumped. There was confusion in his eyes. In his office, Old Zhang had never mentioned anything about this child being interested in drawing, and had also never shown the slightest bit of displeasure with her. For one moment, Chen Jin doubted Counselor Zhang's words, but couldn't figure out why he would lie.

Chen Jin had a lot of guesses, and his eyes were filled with doubt. "This child still has classes in the afternoon, right? Is it okay for her to miss classes?"

Counselors worried about students not being able to keep up or missing classes. What was going on with Old Zhang?

However, Chen Jin didn't think that Old Zhang had any other motives. He just thought that this was a good way to make this child focus on school and her studies in the future.

In the end, he acceded to Counselor Zhang and nodded. "Okay, no problem!"

Seeing Chen Jin agree, Counselor Zhang heaved a sigh of relief.

Chi Shuyan relaxed. At the same time, she was somewhat impressed by Counselor Zhang's last-minute excuse.

Of course, she hadn't suddenly come over because she was soft-hearted.

She had been feeling uneasy ever since she left the office. After all, she had chased that ghost thing all the way to the area near North Bridge Mountain, but lost track of it after that. She felt that something wasn't right.

Now that Teacher Chen suddenly wanted to take so many students to that area to draw, she had felt a little uneasy, so she came to take a look.

Sure enough, the matter was more serious and complicated than she had expected. She had thought that something would happen to Teacher Chen, but looking at it now, it was likely that all the people on this bus wouldn't be able to return from this trip. After all, so many lives would be lost. No matter how hard-hearted she was, she couldn't watch so many people die.

Moreover, she and Brother Feng had been looking for that ghost thing. If it really appeared, this was a good opportunity to deal with it.

So, she didn't hesitate to go with them.

Fortunately, she had Counselor Zhang's divine assistance. With Teacher Chen's agreement, Chi Shuyan didn't say anything and obediently followed him onto the bus.

Counselor Zhang still had class in the afternoon, so he could only leave first with a complicated and worried expression.

Chen Jin could tell at a glance and couldn't help but be amused. "Old Zhang, what kind of expression is that? Will I eat your student?"

Counselor Zhang choked. Chi Shuyan said, "Teacher Zhang, goodbye. I'll take care of myself!"

Counselor Zhang could only grit his teeth and nod. Seeing that it was about time, he left first.

After Counselor Zhang left, Chen Jin led the female student beside him onto the bus. As he did so, he sized up the young lady next to him a few more times, and felt that her temperament and looks really made her look like an art student.

Chen Jin had always loved talent and had a gentle personality. If the other party was really talented, he wouldn't mind giving her some guidance. He couldn't help but ask, "Why did you apply for another major back then?"

Chi Shuyan thought to herself that apart from drawing talismans, she really wasn't good at drawing anything else. Even her drawing of the simplest apple looked terrible – how could she apply for an art major?

She looked up and met the other party's expectant gaze. Chi Shuyan couldn't utter a word. She suddenly felt that the excuse Counselor Zhang had used just now was simply a hole he had dug for her. Faced with Teacher Chen's expectant gaze, she couldn't tell the truth. She could only grit her teeth and find an excuse. "My family was poor back then!"

Chen Jin was stunned, and his eyes went from expectant and curious to pained and complicated.

Chi Shuyan's head hurt under Chen Jin's pained gaze. She regretted her excuse just now, and simply postured and said nothing.

In Chen Jin's eyes, however, he thought that his words just now had hurt the young lady's self-esteem. His heart ached for her as he rubbed her head and said earnestly, "It's not a bad thing to be poor. I don't think anything of it. I used to be poor too. As long as you're successful in the future!"

Chi Shuyan nodded.

"Okay, let's get onto the bus first. We'll talk about the rest later!" Chen Jin said.
