Yu Ning had discovered the flaw in the ghost a long time ago. The relationship between him and the ghost would have already come to an end if it weren’t for Ji Mingxia.

This time, he specifically invited Jun to enter the urn. The ghost was naturally not Yu Ning’s opponent.

*to give someone a taste of their own medicine.

The ghost was already losing by the time Ji Mingxia discovered that Yu Ning was abnormal.

In order to survive , the ghost figure tried to attract Ji Mingxia’s attention to use him to get out of danger.

Ji Mingxia was shocked when he heard this. "Help it get out of danger? What do you mean? I wouldn’t help it."

Yu Ning reminded him: "Once interrupted, the ghost can escape."

Ji Ming came to understand: "Oh! That ghost... was actually quite intelligent?!"

The ghost had three characteristics: 

 It was only capable of attacking one person at a time; It is easily interrupted by external forces; It got stronger each day.

When interrupted by the outside world, the ghost would quickly disappear.

When humans are weaker than ghosts, this move can save them in time. For example, Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning chose to deal with the ghost in the classroom for this reason.

But what of when the ghost was weaker than humans?

If the human is interrupted in time, and the ghost disappears, how could that not have saved its life?

When the ghost found out that it was not Yu Ning’s opponent, it immediately decided to use Ji Mingxia.

As long as the ghost frightened Ji into doing something that could disturb Yu Ning, it could quickly escape with the interference.

With today’s lesson, they will be more cautious if they meet another ghost.

Considering the increasingly strong nature of the ghost, it would be difficult to know the outcome if it had managed to make a comeback.

Ji Mingxia was terrified: "No wonder the scene in the glass reflection was so frightening, but the real world was very normal. If a normal person encountered that situation, he would either attack you or run away. No matter the choice, it was likely to interrupt you, which was the ghost’s intention in the end."

As Ji Mingxia said, he could not help scolding: "Damn! That ghost was too insidious!! It purposely sat on your seat and crawled towards me in the mirror! Did it read the Art of War before it died? Was that a countermeasure?"

Looking at Ji Mingxia’s indignant appearance, Yu Ning said in a slow voice: "But you were not deceived."

"I… I realized  something was wrong and I took a gamble." Ji Mingxia said.

Yu Ning reminded him, "and also reminded me to get this ring."

"I… I didn’t think you could get it. " Speaking of this, Ji Mingxia felt very guilty.

At that time, Ji Mingxia only cared about his life and death and gave Yu Ning a wave of critical information in advance.

He only wanted to save his life, but he didn’t think that Yu Ning could deal with the ghost. He not only eliminated the ghost but even got the mysterious item.

I’m afraid the plot will be completely out of line, which might not be a good thing for me.

To prevent Yu Ning from asking more questions, Ji Mingxia quickly picked up the ring and looked at it.

Although he had read the original novel, this world was very new to Ji Mingxia.

This was Ji Mingxia’s first seeing a mysterious item.

The light shone on the ring, showing a strange blood color. Ji Mingxia looked at it and suddenly noticed a detail.

"Yu Ning, Yu Ning, look, there are inscriptions on the inside." Ji Mingxia exclaimed in surprise.

The inside of the scarlet ring had faint uneven lines. Ji Mingxia turned on the flashlight of his mobile phone and looked for a good angle before taking a picture.

"Lin… Si… Yun?" Ji Mingxia slowly read out the three words engraved on the inside: "Lin Siyun? It sounds like a girl’s name. Is she the ghost?"

Ji Mingxia tried to recall the appearance of the ghost, and various guesses flashed through his mind. Suddenly, Ji Mingxia noticed that Yu Ning’s eyes were looking at him strangely.

"What’s the matter?" Ji Mingxia looked at Yu Ning in puzzlement.

Yu Ning slowly said: "Half a month ago, Lin Siyun died in a car accident at the school gate."

Ji Mingxia: "?"

Yu Ning: "You told everyone about this in the dormitory."

Ji Mingxia: "…!"

This is embarrassing.

Who would have thought that ghost was my classmate?

This character appeared before the beginning of the story, it was not mentioned in the novel at all. In addition, there was no Lin Siyun in Ji Mingxia’s original world.

(╯｀□ ‘) (╯━┻)

Although Yu Ning was considerate enough to move his eyes away from Ji Mingxia after he finished, so as not to give him a sense of oppression, *three rooms and one hall were already cut out under Ji Mingxia’s feet.

*Extreme embarrassment.

At this point, Ji Mingxia could only brave an awkward smile and say: "is that so… I’m under too much pressure to study of late, and I’m a little forgetful…"

He redeemed himself with difficulty, and just at that moment, the bell rang. Ji Mingxia immediately jumped up and rushed out of the dormitory.

As a result, he ran too fast and accidentally hit the door.

There was a loud thud, and Ji Mingxia almost fell.

"Be careful!" Yu Ning was startled and hurriedly caught Ji Mingxia.

After seeing several gold stars in front of his eyes, Ji Mingxia finally saw Yu Ning’s face come into focus and immediately came to his senses. He quickly waved his hand and said: "I’m alright… Haha, I’m hungry, so I’ll go to eat. See you at the canteen…"

With that, Ji Mingxia dared not look at Yu Ning again and ran away.

Yu Ning was left standing and watching him leave. It was not until Ji Mingxia’s back disappeared that Yu Ning looked at the blood-red ring he left behind.

When Ji Mingxia took the ring, the ring was not abnormal except for its strange color.

But when Yu Ning’s hand touched the ring, the blood-red colour within the ring surged up and crawled onto Yu Ning’s finger as if it were a living thing.

His fingers were long and slender, with well-defined knuckles, and as the ring wriggled, it changed size and nestled right onto Yu Ning’s finger.

The temperature in the room plummeted, and the scarlet ring fell on his finger, making his skin look even paler. The light of the ring reflected in Yu Ning’s black and grey eyes, making him look even more bewitching.

Yu Ning did not tell Ji Mingxia that when the ghost entered his body intending to seize control, he returned the favour by directly devouring it.

That was also why Ji Mingxia could see the ghost shadow sitting in his place in the glass reflection.

By then, he had already devoured most of it, and it had long been impossible to distinguish between human and ghost; the ghost was simply using what was left of its sanity to ask Ji Mingxia for help.

This was also why the ring had changed with the ghost’s demise.

It was as if it was "surrendering its allegiance" to him.

"A mysterious item with special power ……"

Ji Mingxia’s words echoed in his mind as he examined the ring. He pondered for a moment and then took it off.

With a "ding", the priceless mysterious item was casually placed in a corner of his bookshelf.

He had taken the ring because he wanted to give it to Ji Mingxia.

Since Ji Mingxia didn’t want it, it was now useless.

On the other side of the campus, Ji Mingxia was walking toward the cafeteria, unable to stop beating his chest on the way.

This world was simply in the ultimate difficulty mode.

The world he was in was calm and quiet, with little drama, so the other Ji Mingxia must be better off than was.

Thinking of this, Ji Mingxia felt envious and could not help but sigh longingly.

It wasn’t until he was eating that Ji Mingxia’s attention was finally diverted. He had nothing to do and had taken out his phone to search for news related to Lin Siyun, only to find some shocking information.

Not only was Lin Siyun in the same class as him, but she was also a legendary figure in their school.

In addition to doing well in her studies, she was also good-looking and was recognized as the school’s flower.

But what was most talked about during Lin Si Yun’s lifetime was not her excellence, but her near miraculous changes over the past few years.

Furnan County was a small county with a large student population and few schools, so they all grew up seeing each other.

Before high school, Lin Siyun was very unattractive and had poor grades.

She was lucky enough to get into the No.1 high school in the last place.

When she got into the school, the competition within the school was fierce and students with low grades were easily left behind, creating all kinds of psychological pressure.

But what they didn’t expect was that Lin Siyun would get stronger and stronger, and in her three years of high school, she triumphantly climbed her way from last place to the top of the grade rankings.

If this was all, it would not have attracted the attention of the whole school.

Most importantly, before she started high school, Lin Siyun had a darkened skin tone and was fat. In addition, not only did she have thinning hair, but she even had a ground-breaking facial skeletal appearance.

This kind of appearance was even a little worse than that of a passer-by and was incomparable to a beautiful woman.

However, during the three years of high school, as Lin Si Yun’s grades got better and better, her looks also changed drastically, and she was eventually crowned the school flower.

To Ji Mingxia, Lin Siyun was a stranger. When he first saw the various gossip, he didn’t feel anything, until he clicked on Lin Siyun’s photo comparison chart. Ji Mingxia was shocked to find that this Lin Siyun had indeed changed a lot.

In junior high school, although she was dark, fat, and average-looking, she had a sweet smile and was sunny, healthy, and energetic at first glance.

After high school, she not only grew taller and thinner but also had thicker hair and snow-white skin. However, the smile on her face had also changed, and she looked slightly more tired than before.

Her smile had changed, and she looked a little more tired than before, but she was still very striking because of her good looks.

If not for the two photos together, Ji Mingxia would have suspected that they were two people.

Although one’s appearance changes when one reaches adolescence, it couldn’t be like this.

Not only did her appearance change, but her behaviour and her facial muscle expressions changed as well.

Lin Siyun’s high school workload was so intense that she was exposed to everyone’s gaze throughout her life. She attended classes every day and actively participated in summer and winter interest classes.

Not to mention that she didn’t have time for plastic surgery, they had also watched her change little by little. The only way to justify it was to say that she had "grown up".

She was a good-looking girl with good academic performance, so she easily attracted attention on campus, not to mention her special upbringing. So many people treated her as an inspirational goddess and they looked forward to her performance in the college entrance exams.

Unexpectedly, half a month before the exams, Lin Siyun was on her way home from her evening studies when she was hit by an oncoming truck that had gone out of control just a short distance from the school entrance.

In an ordinary car accident, no matter how bloody, she would have died from serious injuries to her joints.

However, Lin Siyun was crushed by the waist and her body was split into two sections on the spot. The upper half of her body dangled in front of the vehicle and travelled for dozens of metres before it fell off.

It was said that Lin Siyun’s body fell and she crawled for a few moments, leaving behind broken internal organs and scarlet blood marks all over the ground before she finally died clutching her school bag.

The scene was so tragic that many of the students who witnessed the crash at the time were shocked, and others fainted.

There were no pictures of the crash scene, and Ji Mingxia was in a cold sweat just reading the text description.

There are news stories about car accidents from time to time, but he had never heard of anything so frightening.

Either the news was fabricated or there was a special reason for it.

Considering that this was a world full of mysterious items, and that Lin Siyun had even transformed into a ghost after her death, Ji Mingxia was inclined to believe that the description was the real process.

On second thought, the ghost would appear either hanging, crawling or simply lying on a person’s back, which would fit Lin Siyun’s situation...

Intuition told Ji Mingxia that, whether it was Lin Siyun’s sudden improvement in grades, the appearance that changed like plastic surgery, or this terrifying death, there was a secret which was inseparable from the blood-red ring.

A living human being just turned into a terrifying ghost.

The shock was no less than when Ji Mingxia saw the ghost directly.

Once again, Ji Mingxia felt the danger and cruelty of this world.

Fortunately, the ghost was gone and the ring had been taken off. Although there were many questions in this matter, the outcome was already set in stone.

 Affected by this incident with Lin Siyun, Ji Mingxia was distracted all the way back to class after eating.

As a result, he had just sat down when he saw a classmate walk up to him.

Ji Mingxia looked up at him, "Zhu Ming, what’s wrong?"

Zhu Ming’s expression squirmed a little as he stood in place for a long time, finally sitting beside Ji Mingxia and leaning close to him to whisper, "Brother Mingxia, tell me the truth, is it true that your academic performance has improved because you have asked Yu Ning for advice?"

"Huh?" Ji Mingxia was stunned.

Too many things had happened today, and he still had Lin Siyun and the ring on his mind. So Ji Mingxia first froze for a moment before he recalled the morning incident.

The cow had already blown out, so Ji Mingxia couldn’t take it back. He could either acknowledge study or love between him and Yu Ning, and of course, Ji Mingxia chose study!

"Of course, you can see my grades, I haven’t improved for so long and I rushed up this time. I’ve been getting closer to Yu Ning these days, and I was asking him questions the last time you bumped into me. So yeah, it’s all Yu Ning’s credit." Ji Mingxia bragged at sea.

He was just taking the credit for his improved academic performance and giving Yu Ning a halo. He told the small lie without any psychological pressure.

The more Zhu Ming listened to Ji Mingxia’s bragging, the brighter his eyes became. He finally pressed Ji Mingxia’s arm and said, "Brother Mingxia, take me with you, I want to improve my grades too!"

"Good, good. If you don’t know any questions, let me take a look." Ji Mingxia said.

But Zhu Ming waved his hand, "No need for you to teach me. You’re still climbing yourself. Take me to Yu Ning so he can teach me."

"Huh?" Ji Mingxia was really shocked this time, "Yu Ning teach you...are you sure?"

Zhu Ming, however, acted as if he hadn’t heard Ji Mingxia’s rhetorical question. He glanced nervously behind him and frantically poked Ji Mingxia with his finger, "Yu Ning is here, Yu Ning is here!!!"

 Ji Mingxia followed Zhu Ming’s gaze and saw Yu Ning walking in through the back door of the classroom.

As if noticing Ji Mingxia and Zhu Ming’s gazes, Yu Ning raised his eyes and glanced in Ji Mingxia’s direction.

Ji Mingxia turned his head away in a flash, leaving only the back of his head for Yu Ning.

"Brother Mingxia, go, hurry up." Zhu Ming insisted.

Ji Mingxia simply wanted to cry. He hadn’t explained the matter of Lin Siyun clearly yet, he didn’t want to face Yu Ning so early ah.

Ji Mingxia couldn’t help but advise, "Don’t you dislike Yu Ning… why have you suddenly changed your mind?"

"It can’t be helped, the college entrance exams are coming up in two days. If you can go and ask Yu Ning for advice for the sake of your academic performance, so can we." Zhu Ming said, "I have this score, up or down, when the time comes, can be on all purely depends on luck."

"In just a few days, you’ve been brought up by Yu Ning and surged to second in the class. I’m not asking to have your talent, one or two extra points are enough for me to change my life!"

Zhu Ming begged, "Please, Brother Mingxia, I don’t dare go to Yu Ning alone, he looks too scary ……"

But I don’t want to go to him either! 

Ji Mingxia wailed in his heart.

Not only because of what happened with the Lin Siyun issue, but also because his grades had improved completely on his own. He had never asked Yu Ning for advice.

But he had already said that in the morning. Ji Mingxia even noticed that most of the people in the class were watching for movements on his side.

With the entrance exams just around the corner, what could be more exciting than an increase in marks?

Even if it was someone as terrifying as Yu Ning, everyone couldn’t help but be moved in droves.

Under Zhu Ming’s repeated urging, Ji Mingxia led the latter towards Yu Ning’s seat as the class watched.

"Yu Ning, ah, Zhu Ming has a... oh... oh it’s "we". We have a question that we want to ask you. Can you tell us your solution to the problem?" Halfway through Ji Mingxia’s sentence, Zhu Ming poked him frantically behind his back, and Ji Mingxia could only reluctantly change his words.

As he spoke, he winked frantically winked at Yu Ning.

Yu Ning looked at Ji Mingxia and Zhu Ming for a moment, and under Ji Mingxia’s explicit hints, he looked at Ji Mingxia and nodded slightly, "Okay."

Ji Mingxia breathed a sigh of relief and sat down beside Yu Ning.

He and Yu Ning had just gone through a dangerous situation together in the morning, and his movements were incredibly natural.

However, in the eyes of others, it had a very frightening effect. Since Ji Mingxia was already sitting, Zhu Ming naturally could not remain standing.

After dilly-dallying for a long time, Zhu Ming finally chose to sit next to Ji Mingxia. That way, he was a little further away from Yu Ning, but could still hear his voice.

During Yu Ning’s lecture, Zhu Ming kept his head down and listened vertically, not daring to look at Yu Ning’s face.

On the contrary, Ji Mingxia listened very carefully and accidentally discovered that Yu Ning’s solution to this question was very different from his.

Ji Mingxia had taken the college entrance exam once and had an advantage in predicting the questions for this year’s exam. His grades were okay, so he quickly discussed it with Yu Ning.

Zhu Ming, who was on the side, listened with trepidation at first, but slowly realized that Yu Ning and Ji Mingxia were discussing the topics. If he didn’t look at Yu Ning, he was actually no different from ordinary people if he just listened to their voices.

Gradually, Zhu Ming also became absorbed in listening and eventually grasped Ji Mingxia’s and Yu Ning’s discussion. He even cited one question to clarify the idea of another.

When someone is afraid, they have unlimited potential!

Zhu Ming, who had listened for more than half an hour, expressed great satisfaction and happily went back to his seat.

Ji Mingxia was stirred up by the discussion, and he stayed sitting next to Yu Ning to answer the questions.

During this time, other students saw Ji Mingxia sitting next to Yu Ning, open and unconcerned, and then looked at Zhu Ming’s appearance of having gained a lot, and they could not help but feel moved.

Although Yu Ning looked intimidating, when discussing questions, he was quite normal.

Not only was there no loss in just listening in, but there was even the possibility of improving their marks. Seeing as the college entrance exams are just around the corner, who would not want to try such a good thing?

As for those horrible rumors about Yu Ning, Ji Mingxia still looked fine.

The scales in everyone’s minds kept swinging, and in the end, some of Ji Mingxia’s roommates couldn’t resist and gathered around.

There were a lot of people watching, and the remaining people had nothing to worry about, so they came over boldly.

"Yu Ning, Ji Mingxia said you helped him improve his grades and got second in the class. Is that true?"

"You’ve been number one in the whole school since elementary school. Is there any secret to it?"

"The college entrance exams are around the corner, and Ji Mingxia said you bet on the questions very accurately. What are your thoughts on the college entrance exam?"

Yu Ning smiled and turned his head to look at Ji Mingxia.

Ji Mingxia gave a dry laugh and hurriedly said to everyone: "Yu Ning gave me some bets on the questions, I made a table and I’ll send it to the group later to share ah …… But it’s only a personal bet, after all, and it’s not guaranteed, so don’t get your hopes up. Relax, you’ll definitely do well… …"

With Ji Mingxia’s manoeuvring, he finally persuaded everyone to return to their original positions, leaving one or two who still wanted to listen sitting nearby.

The whole thing was started by Ji Mingxia, so he naturally could not leave the room. Everyone still had some wariness toward Yu Ning, and they were not familiar with each other. Ji Mingxia sat next to Yu Ning the whole time, playing an auxiliary role. He sometimes helped to communicate, and sometimes revitalized the scene. 

In the blink of an eye, the day was over. Many people thanked Ji Mingxia when the evening study session was over. Their eyes moved to Yu Ning with some evasiveness, but they eventually thanked him.

With the college entrance exams just around the corner, the three years of high school were coming to an end and they would soon be going their separate ways.

No one expected that they would not be able to resist seeking Yu Ning’s help during these last two days.

But whether this impromptu teaching was useful or not, Yu Ning did not hesitate to give advice and shared a lot of insights throughout the day.

As Ji Mingxia watched everyone pack up their textbooks and leave, he also whispered to Yu Ning, "Thank you."

Yu Ning turned his head to look at him.

Ji Mingxia folded his hands and looked at Yu Ning flatteringly, "For not exposing my lies and spending so much time helping them with questions ……"

Ji Mingxia knew that with Yu Ning’s character, he was too lazy to talk to these people about the questions, so he sat next to Yu Ning to warm up the atmosphere. But without Yu Ning’s cooperation, it would have been Ji Mingxia who ended up being embarrassed.

Yu Ning looked at the exercise book and didn’t say anything, but Ji Mingxia could still feel that he was in a good mood.

Thinking about the scene just now, Ji Mingxia could not help but feel emotional.

Everyone was influenced by the rumours, fearing Yu Ning and refusing to get in touch with him.

But in reality, if only one person had taken the initiative to lead, perhaps the outcome would have been completely different.

Under the overwhelming pressure of the entrance exams, and with Ji Mingxia in the middle, several people eventually overcame their fears and realized that Yu Ning was just an ordinary person.

An ordinary person who had grown up and suffered constantly.

If only he had transmigrated a little earlier.

If this opportunity had appeared a little earlier, perhaps Yu Ning’s childhood would have been a lot happier.

Ji Mingxia, who was lost in his thoughts, didn’t even notice Yu Ning’s gaze, which didn’t rest on the exercise book at all, but on their hands that were touching.

When Yu Ning was growing up, no one wanted to be his friend, let alone be a desk mate, so he always sat at the desk by himself.

For the sake of the discussion, Ji Mingxia sat next to him and never moved afterwards, not even changing places when class started.

With only two days left before the college entrance exam, the teacher did not want to put too much pressure on everyone, and the class was free for everyone to study on their own.

So Ji Mingxia had unconsciously sat next to Yu Ning from noon until now.

The two boys were sitting at the same table, both with long arms and legs, so it was inevitable that they would touch each other.

Ji Mingxia was a carefree person, his mind was full of questions, while Yu Ning was answering with other things on his mind.

Ji Mingxia touched his elbow, Ji Mingxia’s hair brushed his shoulder, Ji Mingxia’s knee touched his leg...

On the way back, Ji Mingxia saw that Yu Ning was in a good mood and cautiously asked, "Yu Ning, are you okay with……everyone coming to you?"

Yu Ning glanced at Ji Mingxia and lowered his eyes, "Mm."

Seeing this, Ji Mingxia only felt a sullen and sour feeling in his heart.

Sure enough, even though everyone treated him with cold violence like that, in Yu Ning’s heart, he still longed for the camaraderie of his classmates!

Ji Mingxia immediately said, "Then if more people come for help tomorrow, let’s do it together."

Yu Ning hooked the corners of his lips and said good-naturedly, "Okay."
