Senior Class 1

"Yang Chenchen, isn't this your cousin driving the luxury car? He came to see you at school?" A female student yelled excitedly as she browsed through a bunch of posts on the forum.

Other female students heard her and gathered around to take a look.

"Wow, Yang Chenchen, is that really your elder brother? He's so handsome! You even have such a brother, Yang Chenchen? He's so nice to you. Did he come to the school specifically to see you?"

Yang Chenchen had been lying weakly on the desk, having been scolded by her parents these past few days. They said that because she had offended someone, her uncle, Yang Kangde, had been implicated and a promising joint project that was about to succeed fell into ruins.

Her uncle's family didn't want to have any dealings with her family anymore, which made her parents anxious. When she dropped in for an audience, her uncle refused, so she didn't dare to go home these days because her parents would give her an earful whenever they saw her.

Moreover, more than half of her allowance had been deducted, so this month had been tight. Her doting cousin, who used to secretly give her money, treated her more indifferently now and would only nod at her when he saw her.

Yang Chenchen was grappling with her depression, but when she heard a classmate saying that her cousin had come, her eyes lit up. Her chair clattered backwards when she stood up and she said in surprise, "Really? Did my brother really come to the school to see me?"

"Yeah, not only that, but your brother seems to have brought three friends with him." That female student's eyes glazed over. "To top it off, your brother's three friends are also very handsome, driving four luxury cars coming to school. Chenchen, be sure to introduce us later."

Many students in the class had gone to Yang Chenchen's birthday party and knew that her family had money. But then, there were also many rich students in the senior class. Still, many feared Yang Chenchen, precisely because of the genuine wealthy and influential family backing her.

Yang Chenchen was in fact astonished hearing this and walked out in bewilderment. The best friends who played with her brother had to be Su Yeran and several older brothers. If it had been just her cousin alone, she would have been sure he had come for her, but she didn't think that she had this honor.

Disgruntled, Yang Hongsheng came over carrying five cups of drinks and saw four people sitting on the railing beside the basketball court, especially the petite, dainty girl in the middle. He smiled eagerly as he approached her and rudely squeezed his butt in, shoving Su Yeran, who was sitting next to her. He unwrapped a straw, inserted it into the cup, and handed it over respectfully. "Master Chi, here, have some honey grapefruit tea."

Chi Shuyan smiled slightly. "Thank you."

Yang Hongsheng smiled gently and solicitously. "My pleasure, my pleasure." While speaking, he threw the rest of the drinks into the others' arms unceremoniously.

"You guys are looking pretty good," Chi Shuyan sipped a mouthful of honey grapefruit tea and said with a smile.

"It's thanks to your blessing, Master Chi. If you hadn't stepped in, we really don't know what would have happened." Zhou Kunxiong thanked her sincerely.

"It's nothing, really. No trouble at all." Chi Shunyan suddenly swept her eyes over Zhou Kunxiong's face a few times in confusion and said, "It's strange. The female ghost kept saying that you were her husband. Could it be that you resemble her husband a lot?"

Zhou Kunxiong smiled dryly, feeling a bit heavy. When that female ghost possessed him, she repeatedly muttered a name. He later checked his genealogy and that name was actually on his family tree, as if he was an ancestor of their Zhou family.

"By the way, Master Chi, if a ghost keeps possessing a person, can it bring a dead person back to life?" Yang Hongsheng inquired curiously.

Chi Shuyan thought for a moment and shook her head. "Under certain conditions, a ghost can indeed live like a human after occupying a body for a long time, but it's not a resurrection. It will require a new body in 20 years. Otherwise, the body will rot."

"What about that person's soul?" Hearing this, Su Yeran also looked over with interest.

"The soul flies away and scatters." Chi Shuyan was suddenly reminded of something and her eyes grew slightly cold.

Zhou Kunxiong, Yang Hongsheng, and the others were horrified.

"Second Brother, why are you asking this question all of a sudden?" Dong Junming marveled.

"Oh, because when I went to the hospital to see a friend last time, the young daughter of the Wu family, who was in a coma, woke up. But I felt like something wasn't quite right with her, just like when we were possessed before." Yang Hongsheng frowned. "Her family thought it was the sequelae of her just waking up. Especially when I looked at her, she was initially deadpan, then she suddenly smiled at me. Looking at her made even my big ole gangster heart tremble."

"It turned out I wasn't the only one who finds her strange," Su Yeran echoed in total agreement.

Chi Shuyan lowered her long, thick, curly lashes, concealing the look in her eyes after hearing this.

When Zhou Kunxiong noticed Chi Shuyan's silence, he poked Yang Hongsheng and told him to stop talking nonsense. Yang Hongsheng looked nonplussed, but when his eyes fell on Chi Shuyan, he immediately regained consciousness and assured, "Master Chi, rest assured. We are absolutely on your side. We're not afraid of that Wu family either. It's just that they did it so cleanly without leaving any evidence, so we could only ferret out the person who posted it." He finished with a hint of remorse.

Chi Shuyan shook her head in response, and said very seriously, "I really need to thank you for clarifying this matter for me. I'm so busy right now that I feel like my head could explode." Chi Shuyan was truly grateful for them. Leaving aside the fact that she didn't have the energy to deal with the matter right now, even if she did, she wouldn't have been able to make it as watertight as they had.

"What are you busy with?" Su Yeran asked.

"The college entrance examination and opening a Taobao store," Chi Shuyan said, opening the app on her phone. The others took a glance at her shop.

"Wow, what a bargain! Master Chi, you're such a shark. How come everything you sold us was so expensive?" Yang Hongsheng wailed. Last time, it was 50,000 yuan a piece, but it was only a few thousands now.

Chi Shuyan felt a bit guilty. "It can't be helped. My store is still not famous, so I can only promote it with huge discounts." She was somewhat dejected at this and sighed. "These talismans are even better than the ones I drew last time, but surprisingly, there aren't people who can tell good from bad. If I can't get a single order for another day, perhaps I'll have to lower the price a bit more."

Chi Shuyan noticed that the four just ignored her and lowered their heads, swiping on their phones. She glanced at them and saw their hands wildly snapping up talismans at lightning speed. Her face turned black: "…" She really wasn't here to advertise.
