No one notified me in advance. Everyone in the end times is crazy.

Chapter 531 Childhood Promise

"Return? Return? A group of turtles swam across the bridge in front of the gate~"

[Strange, where did the big ice block go today?]

Luo Shiyu searched everywhere He Gui might appear, but couldn't find him. However, she happened to run into Luo Chen, who was returning from a mission.

"Dad? What are you doing here?"

"I'm looking for a big block of ice, have you seen it?"

"No." Luo Chen tugged at his nano combat suit, indicating that he had just returned from outside.

"That's strange, where could he have gone?"

Did you send him a message?

"I sent it but no one replied."

“He didn’t even reply to Dad’s message? That shouldn’t be the case…” Luo Chen said, raising his hand to look at the date on the smart device, and instantly understood. “Dad, I think I know where Father went.”

"Where did you go?"

“On the 26th of every month, my father would lock himself in a room. I heard from Aunt Nanxing that it was the room of his deceased teacher, and my father would go there to clean it himself every month.”

"The teacher of the big ice cube? Ah~ is his name Fu Hua?"

"I am not sure as well."

"Then I'll go find him later. By the way, how did your parent-teacher conference go?"

Luo Chen forced a smile and said, "It's...it's alright."

"Hmm? If it's inconvenient for you to talk, just call Bai Yu out and let him speak."

As expected, Bai Yu was summoned.

He stroked the crow on his shoulder and said reluctantly, "Ugh~ Why do I always have to do these kinds of things that offend people?"

“After all, you don’t need to consider anyone’s feelings. Chenchen is different. He and Big Ice Cube see each other all the time.”

"Hmm...that's right, let me think about where to start."

Bai Yu leisurely fanned himself with his white feather fan a few times, thought for a moment, and said, "Before the teacher entered the classroom, an aunt came up to He Gui. I don't know if it's because she doesn't watch the news, but she didn't recognize who He Gui was. She pointed at him and started scolding him. She said that he wore a mask to a parent-teacher meeting, and how could someone like that teach children well. I don't remember the specifics of what she said, but it was very nasty."

"Did Big Ice Cube do something to her? Why is she suddenly swearing?"

"That auntie said that Chenchen was flirting with her son during his early romance."

Luo Shiyu opened her eyes wide and looked at Luo Chen in shock.

Luo Chen quickly shook his head and explained, "No, Dad, I didn't!"

Luo Shiyu put his hands on Luo Chen's shoulders and said earnestly, "Son, Dad doesn't care about your sexual orientation, but we can never be a bottom, you know?"

Luo Chen didn't understand what "zero" meant, and looked at Bai Yu in confusion, waiting for the teacher to explain it to him.

Bai Yu smiled and said tactfully, "Your father is afraid you'll be bullied."

After saying that, he patted Luo Shiyu's shoulder with his white feather fan and assured him, "Don't worry, I'm here. Ghost spirits and contractors are connected by heart. I can guarantee that Chenchen doesn't like that child. It's all just his own wishful thinking."

How did he fall in love with Chenchen?

Bai Yu, his eyes narrowed, teased with a smile, "Because straight men don't know how to speak properly."

"what?"

"That kid was bullied by his classmates because of his timid personality. When Chenchen transferred to his school, he not only suppressed the bullies in his class, but also became friends with him. However, he said some things without thinking."

"What did you say?"

"Hmm... For example, with me around, you don't need to be brave, please rely on me as much as possible. Also, it's okay if you feel lost, I can be the guiding light for you. What's even more outrageous is that Chenchen said that the position of Eastern Commander will be handed over to me in the future. If you become a Ghost Master, would you be willing to be my only general? If it's you, I will feel much more at ease, after all, you are the person I am most willing to entrust my back to."

"It is indeed easy for people to misunderstand. Why don't we have Chenchen go and explain it to them?"

"It's normal for young people to be confused and have mixed feelings. They'll grow out of it. It's best for us adults not to get involved. Let's leave some room for imagination for the children. After all, who really cares about the promises made when they were young?"

"Hmm...that makes sense. How was that troublemaking parent, that big ice block, dealt with?"

"He Gui gave her a lecture and made her submit a self-criticism of no less than a thousand words before the end of the parent-teacher meeting."

Luo Shiyu was stunned and exclaimed, "Huh?"

"His actions went beyond that."

"What's the big ice block up doing now?"

"Having nothing to do, he took a pen and went through Luo Chen's test paper. He found that many of the problem-solving approaches could be simplified. So he called all the teachers in the school, including the principal, and spent the whole afternoon explaining the problems to them."

Luo Shiyu covered his face with his hands. Although he hadn't gone, he felt utterly humiliated.

"What other outrageous things has the big ice block done?"

"Does having the teachers and principal write self-criticisms count?"

"That's enough! What is he thinking?"

"If you're really curious about his thought process, you should go and ask him yourself. I think it's the innermost corner room on the 76th floor."

"Fine, I'll go ask right now." Luo Shiyu said and stormed off.

When they arrived at the room Bai Yu had mentioned, Luo Shiyu hesitated to open the tightly closed door.

What exactly do I need to ask Big Ice Cube? I've clearly seen his past. He's never been to school, never attended a parent-teacher conference, and has spent most of his life in the Sky Prison. What could he possibly know? He simply wants to correct his mistakes, it's that simple.

Luo Shiyu withdrew her outstretched hand, preparing to leave quietly, when the door was opened from the inside.

"Xiaoyu?"

Luo Shiyu smiled awkwardly at He Gui and blurted out, "What a coincidence, running into you here."

He Gui glanced at the empty corner of the corridor, then at Luo Shiyu, and seemed to understand something. He explained, "I didn't see your message. It wasn't that I didn't reply on purpose. I was just about to look for you when we bumped into each other here. What a coincidence."

"What nonsense are you spouting? You're just blindly accepting it, aren't you?"

"We have to give Xiaoyu a way out, don't we?"

"No need~ You can continue with your work, I'll go back to my office and wait for you."

He Gui grabbed Luo Shiyu, who was about to leave, pulled him into the house, and locked the door.

"Wait! This room isn't... um!"

He Gui didn't give him a chance to speak at all. He grabbed Luo Shiyu by the back of the neck with one hand and pressed him against himself, while the other hand pinched his chin. He pressed him tightly against the wall and turned his face to invade his lips domineeringly.

Feeling Luo Shiyu's body gradually going limp, He Gui reluctantly let go of her mouth.

"Xiaoyu, you should be glad this isn't my room, otherwise you wouldn't be wearing any clothes right now."

"You bastard, you can't even behave yourself in your teacher's room."

"What's there to be afraid of? If he knew that his apprentice could marry such a beautiful wife, he would definitely be proud of me."

"Hey! Don't talk nonsense! Who's your wife!"

"Whoever answers first is the winner."

"Shameless! Get away from me! Why did you drag me in here?" Luo Shiyu said, trying to push He Gui away, but couldn't budge him.

They pushed again, but it still didn't budge.

After a few seconds of silence, He Gui chuckled.

"Xiaoyu, are you tickling me?"
