Ji Mingxia entered the classroom the moment the bell rang. In order to avoid attracting attention, he slipped in through the back door.

As a result, he had just walked into the classroom, and the people in the back row spotted him. They immediately stopped talking and looked at him with wide eyes. The people in the front row felt the silence in the back row and couldn’t help but turn their heads back. The whole class eventually turned their heads and watched Ji Mingxia walk into the classroom.

The class was quiet, and only the sound of Ji Mingxia’s footsteps could be heard.

This scene was simply too frightening. Ji Mingxia even felt like he’d rather see ghosts in the class than an entire class of living people staring at him. They looked as if they had seen some kind of magical animal.

Under the gaze of the crowd, Ji Mingxia finally reached his seat in a cold sweat.

After he sat down, everyone probably felt that it was not good to stare at people like that, and some of them reluctantly withdrew their gaze. However, there were some who still could not help but stare at Ji Mingxia.

In order to avoid these stares, he pretended not to care and opened his phone. The screen lit up and countless messages popped up.

He had come to college but hadn’t made any friends. He hadn’t even said more than a few words to Lin Cheng and Luo Zixuan, his two good brothers from his previous world.

At the moment the people who sent him messages on WeChat were all former classmates.

He had already blocked the class group so the messages that popped up were private chats.

[Zhou Zhouye: Ji Mingxia, are you in the same school as Yu Ning? What’s the situation with you and Ye Tian ah, are you okay? Protect yourself!]

[Chen Zhen: Don’t worry about those comments online, we just need to know who we are.]

[Ju Ming: Mingxia, check out the mess on the Internet. Don’t worry about it. If it doesn’t work, just disconnect from the Internet. Real life is more important. ]

[Classmate A: Mingxia, if you want to explain, we will help you clear things up. ]

[Classmate B: Brother Mingxia, you know Ye Tian? ! 】

Ji Mingxia looked at this variety of information in confusion.

In order not to miss Yu Ning during the summer vacation, he didn’t go online.  Zhao Zhouye and the rest went to Tibet for cycling and other activities so he missed out on that.

At first, the class group and the dormitory group were very active. After all, they could finally let go after being suppressed for three years in high school.

But slowly, the number of people talking in the group became smaller and smaller.

Ji Mingxia did not appear in the group for two months during the summer vacation, and the group did not feel it was strange. None of them took the initiative to ask him about his daily life.

He was immersed in his own world and didn’t feel that it was abnormal, he thought that everyone was busy with their own affairs.

It was only yesterday when he went online to read the news that he learned Yu Ning became popular, and his fans were scolding his past classmates.

They’d find the Weibo, WeChat and other social accounts of Yu Ning’s former classmates, and swear at them.

After the school noticed this phenomenon, the teacher quickly appeared to counsel the people concerned.

At the same time, the entire school, both teachers and students, were recommended to suspend the use of public social accounts if possible, and to wait for the storm to pass before speaking.

Most people had no objection to this.

Yu Ning was isolated as a child, and many students were often not the initiators, but they were the ongoing perpetrators.

Most were not radicals, but simply went along with the general trend of cold violence against Yu Ning.

When this matter became known to the outside world and fermented, many students also realized their mistakes.

On one hand, they felt that they were wrong for ostracizing Yu Ning, but on the other hand, they were afraid of the harassment from Yu Ning’s fans.

Everyone was an adult, and they had to take responsibility for the wrong things they had done. To the online criticism, few people came out to refute, while most tried their best to avoid harassment.

In this case, the most effective way was to quit the Internet.

So two months into the summer, Ji Mingxia did not come online and it did not attract attention at all. His close friends thought he was not showing up to avoid harassment.

It wasn’t until today that Ji Mingxia was pushed to the forefront, and those who were concerned about the matter couldn’t resist inboxing him privately.

After reading the private messages, Ji Mingxia ran to the forum and Weibo to search, and only then did he realize what had happened.

Along with the beginning of the new school year, most people’s attention was diverted and the matter about Yu Ning and Ye Tian was no longer so frequently splashed on the internet.

Until noon, Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning’s relationship was picked up, followed by the fact that Ye Tian personally came to Ji Mingxia. Ye Tian and Yu Ning, two high profile people, were involved with the same person.

Ji Mingxia’s confusing identity instantly attracted attention, and in just one noon, the campus forum was butchered, the Weibo hot searches followed, and although it didn’t reach the top spots, it hung back and forth between the 40th and 50th position. But for those who are paying attention to this matter, the popularity was already scary.

Zhao Zhouye and the others were deeply afraid that Ji Mingxia would be attacked, or would not  be able to bear the attacks of gossip, so they quickly contacted him, and asked him to not worry.

After understanding the cause and effect, Ji Mingxia replied to each private chat, telling them not to worry.

He didn’t expect things to develop to this point in one afternoon.

In this regard, Ji Mingxia decided it was better to wait and see what happens.

Zhou Zhouye and the others had endured two months of internet harassment and Ji Mingxia realized that he had escaped a disaster. However, since he and Yu Ning had become roommates once again, he had to be prepared to face everything.

Although he was about to be harassed, the thought of becoming roommates with Yu Ning again made him feel that it was a small advantage.

If there was one thing he regretted, it was that compared with Yu Ning’s grades, H university was a little too ordinary for him.

Thinking Yu Ning came here for him was a bit condescending.

After thinking about this, Ji Mingxia’s heart was calm. He tried to ignore the whispers around him, and prepared for class as usual.

The afternoon passed quickly, and the last class was taught by the class teacher. A temporary class president, class cadres and other matters were all finalized.

The class’s attention kept drifting to Ji Mingxia from time to time and the class teacher became a little worried that he would feel stressed. Just when she was about to reprimand everyone, someone cursed, and it was followed by the whole class buzzing.

“Are you sure?”

“Did you see it wrong, his department is so far away from us.”

“Someone took pictures!!!”

“What…what’s the situation?”

“Yu Ning is here!”

It just so happened that at this time, a figure appeared at the entrance of Ji Mingxia’s class.

This time, without waiting for the class teacher to first walk out, the person sitting by the window had already poked his head out and looked at the person outside the door.

Compared to Ye Tian’s petite size, Yu Ning was a little taller than the average person. He was standing in the corridor, and anyone could see him at a glance.

After confirming that the person who came was Yu Ning, everyone turned their heads and looked at Ji Mingxia in shock.

Ji Mingxia was also very shocked, he simply could not understand, why had Yu Ning come to him when he was in the eye of the storm?!

The class teacher had already walked out by this time, and after talking to Yu Ning for a few seconds, she returned back inside the classroom and shouted just like she did in the morning, “Ji Mingxia, please come out for a moment.”

Once again, Ji Mingxia walked out of the classroom under the watchful eyes of the whole classroom.

When he was handed over to Ye Tian in the morning, Ji Mingxia was still a bit confused and didn’t know what to do.

But now, he was more awake than ever.

He gathered his expression and walked outside the classroom. Sure enough, he saw Yu Ning standing outside the door waiting for him.

Seeing Ji Mingxia looking at him without saying anything, Yu Ning even called out his name: “Mingxia.”

The class teacher saw that not only her own class, but also the people in the next class were poking their heads out. Some were even recording videos with their cell phones, and she hurriedly said, “This is not the place to talk, you two go to my office.”

With that, the class teacher once again opened the door of her office and brought Yu Ning and Ji Mingxia inside.

As soon as they entered the office, Yu Ning’s expression had a subtle change.

But the class teacher was still there, so he quickly looked as normal as he could and first thanked the class teacher, “Thank you for your trouble.”

“You’re welcome, I’ve seen your online pictures and I thought they were all photoshopped. I didn’t expect the real person to look exactly like the pictures, you look so good.” The class teacher waved her hand and said with a smile, “I’ll go back and tell my parents, my husband and my daughter that I met Yu Ning, they will get very, very jealous of me.”

Ji Mingxia was originally staring at Yu Ning, and when he heard these familiar words, he couldn’t help but glance at the class teacher.

The class teacher then patted Ji Mingxia’s shoulder in a serious tone, “It’s been hard on you, you guys take your time and talk.”After saying that, the class teacher was once again very sensible and helped to close the door. Then she returned to the class and pressed back all those students who were poking their heads out.

Ji Mingxia wasn’t mistaken this time. When the class teacher closed the door, the look in her eyes was strange.

But Yu Ning was right in front of him, and Ji Mingxia didn’t have time to care what the class teacher thought. Seeing that Yu Ning was still surveying the surroundings, Ji Mingxia said seriously, “Yu Ning, you shouldn’t have come.”

Yu Ning looked back at Ji Mingxia.

Ji Mingxia said, “Did you come because Ye Tian came to see me at noon and now everyone is talking about it?”

Yu Ning raised his eyebrows slightly, “Ye Tian was also in this office this afternoon?”

“That’s right.” Ji Mingxia thought of the public opinions on the Internet, and his voice unconsciously became a little lower, “Ye Tian came to see me and people became curious. They dug out my information and found that we used to be classmates ……”

Yu Ning had so many fans, partly because of his looks, partly because of his achievements, and a larger part because he suffered countless hardships in the past, but had now broken free from adversity and ushered in a brand new life.

Some people pitied him, some envied him, and most people were his career fans. They hoped that his life would flourish, and face all those who once looked down on him.

Yu Ning’s fans scolded his former classmates because of the way they treated him, but also because they thought he was not strong enough to stand up to them.

Yu Ning gave up Qingbei and came to H University, and this matter already caused controversy.

Now that his matter was dug up, if the fans knew that Yu Ning not only did not hit Ji Mingxia in the face after having suffered cold violence, but even maintained a good relationship with him, the public opinion would be very unfavorable to Yu Ning.

Ji Mingxia predicted that the guns aimed at him at this moment will soon be aimed at Yu Ning.

The original owner had also ignored Yu Ning, he transmigrated to inherit the identity of the original owner, so he had to face the online abuse. All this was within the scope of Ji Mingxia’s acceptance.

But if Yu Ning was scolded for this, that was something that Ji Mingxia couldn’t accept.

Yu Ning had suffered for eighteen years, he had finally said goodbye to the past, and there were so many people who liked him now. He couldn’t let Yu Ning lose such a good thing because of him.

Thinking of this, Ji Mingxia ruthlessly, said to Yu Ning: “I don’t know if you have seen the messages on the school forum and microblogs. I don’t think that we should keep in touch at the moment, lest it has a bad impact on you ……”

Yu Ning came all this way to pick him up, and as a result, he came up with such a ruthless sentence.

Ji Mingxia was prepared for Yu Ning to get angry. He lowered his head and waited apprehensively for Yu Ning’s reaction.

But strangely enough, Yu Ning remained quiet and did not speak.

Ji Mingxia waited for a moment but didn’t get an answer, so he could not help but raise his head.

Yu Ning was looking at him with an expression on his face that seemed to show disappointment.

“Are you worried that I will affect you?” Yu Ning said, “With a freak like me, no one would want to be friends with you?”

Ji Mingxia was nodding at first, but as he listened, he felt things going more and more offtrack and he hurriedly said, “No, no, I am worried about you ……”

“Worried about me, a freak?” Yu Ning said.

Ji Mingxia couldn’t bear to hear the word “freak” again. He didn’t bother explaining to Yu Ning anymore and quickly shouted: “you are not a freak, no one said you are a freak!”

“Then why are you worried about being affected?” Yu Ning said strangely.

Ji Mingxia hurriedly said, “Because, everyone likes you a lot now and doesn’t like me. With me, you will be scolded, there is no benefit.”

“How can there be no benefit?” Yu Ning whispered. Seeing Ji Mingxia still looking at him anxiously, Yu Ning said, “Mingxia, no one was willing to be my friend except you. If you also want to alienate me, then I will be all alone.”

“How is that possible?” Ji Mingxia said in shock, “Have you not been online and noticed how popular you are? You’re a celebrity, you have so many, many fans, people recognize you everywhere you go, you’re now the talk of the town and the whole school. You have countless fans and as long as you want, the whole school could become friends with you.”

“Is that so?” Yu Ning said indifferently as he gently tapped his finger on his eye. The color of his eyes quickly changed, turning from black to gray all of a sudden.

As soon as the color of the eye changed, Yu Ning’s temperament changed inexplicably. Not only did the eyes become scary, even the whole person became eerie.

The sun was shining in the office, and the surroundings were quiet, but after the change in Yu Ning’s aura, the temperature of the office seemed to have dropped several degrees.

Ji Mingxia was so familiar with Yu Ning but he was still startled by the sudden change in Yu Ning.

If someone who was not familiar with Yu Ning suddenly saw this scene, they would have regarded Yu Ning as a long-dead ghost.

Yu Ning’s gray and black eyes looked at Ji Mingxia and he spoke slowly. “If they knew the real me was like this, would they still want to get acquainted with me?”

Ji Mingxia looked at Yu Ning’s gloomy face and said with some difficulty, “Your fans …… all know what you used to look like with different pupils, they can accept…”

“Then what if they know that I was born able to see ghosts?” Yu Ning said.

“If they knew that whoever comes in contact with me would be unlucky …… If they knew that being friends with me meant they would be haunted by vicious spirits at any time and anywhere, and they would even lose their lives …… would anyone still be willing to approach me? “ Yu Ning said.

Ji Mingxia could not answer at once.

Those teachers and students had already answered Yu Ning with their choices.

Many of them did not have any deep hatred for Yu Ning.

There was no interest in bullying him either.

They didn’t want to bully a child, they just wanted to avoid harm.

Including the original owner. He had no choice but to share a dormitory with Yu Ning, but he didn’t want to be friends with Yu Ning, so he pretended that Yu Ning did not exist.

He didn’t take the initiative to bully him, nor did he take the initiative to approach him. The original owner didn’t feel like he did anything wrong, but when everyone acted like this, Yu Ning was still hurt.

Because this was a world with the supernatural. Because Yu Ning’s physique was special, this eventually became an unsolvable problem.

Thinking of this, Ji Mingxia lowered his head in shame: “I’m sorry, Yu Ning, actually I also ……”

When he first came to this world, he also chose to treat Yu Ning in the same way.

“You’re different,” Yu Ning said softly. “However, if you are worried about being influenced by public opinion and choose to avoid me, I can accept that. I have always been alone anyway, I have long been used to it.

“I’ll go first, and when there are less people, you can go back to the dorm. As long as people don’t see us together, they won’t think much about it in the long term.”

At that exact moment, the bell rang for the end of class.

“I'm sorry Mingxia, for giving you trouble.” Yu Ning’s eyes returned to a dark color as he said in a low voice. Then he turned to open the office door and prepared to leave.

Ji Mingxia looked at his back and panicked.

His original intention was to persuade Yu Ning to stay away from him, lest he be implicated and disappoint his fans.

But somehow, as they talked, it became that he wanted to abandon Yu Ning.

He didn’t want Yu Ning to be hurt, and even more so, he didn’t want to hurt Yu Ning himself!

Seeing Yu Ning walking out despondently, like a small beast that had been abandoned, Ji Mingxia hurriedly ran to his side: “Yu Ning!”

“I’ve never cared about public opinion but I don’t want to cause you trouble.” Ji Mingxia said, “I just don’t want you to be upset, since you don’t care about …… then let’s…let’s go back together.”

With that, he took a deep breath, pulled the office door open, and walked out together with Yu Ning.

Ji Mingxia, who was preparing to receive the baptism of the students’ eyes, did not notice that there was no sad expression on Yu Ning’s face at this moment.

His gaze has been on Ji Mingxia from the beginning to the end.

Seeing that Ji Mingxia was clearly nervous, but also pretended not to care and pulled him along, Yu Ning’s mouth slightly curled up, revealing a small smile.

He was alone, forging ahead in the darkness, until one day, a beam of light fell on his hand.

His life was brought into the light from then on.

In order to emerge from the darkness, he went to the Institute to undergo testing and transformation, enduring countless and different kinds of pain every day and night, suffering for two months to finally suppress his nature, just to be able to integrate into college as an ordinary person.

He lied to Ji Mingxia, he did not want to go back to the past at all, much less get used to being alone.

Ji Mingxia was the light he was chasing.

He wanted to chase it forever and ever.
