Chapter 24

Finally, school was over. Jin Yang said she would bring food for Chu Yang, and Chu Yang wanted to go back to the dormitory to rest.

When she got back to the dormitory and opened her phone, she discovered that the person looking for her son last night had transferred 30,000 yuan to her, and also said many thanks, and said she not only saved her son, but also several other children. Anyway, she treated her like some kind of saint. After Chu Yang received the money, she did not reply anymore. They had settled their transaction.

On the other side, Zhu Hai Xin, after seeing that the blogger had finally taken the money, relaxed, but she was still a little worried: "Dear, isn't 30,000 yuan too little?"

Li Yucheng comforted her, "It's okay, if it was too little the blogger would have said something. Since she didn't say anything it must have been enough. I've heard that these saints like doing good deeds and don't care too much about money and possessions. In the future when we do good deeds we should pitch in too."

"Okay, okay."

The weather was getting colder and colder. Chu Yang was already wearing a padded jacket. Other than going to tutor, she rarely went out now. It was too cold outside. Plus there were constant rumors it might snow soon, however Chu Yang looked and didn't see any snow coming this week.

She had almost saved up enough money, just a little bit more. Her fans would often ask under her Weibo posts when it would snow, you could see everyone was looking forward to the first snow this year.

Chu Yang hated the cold. She wasn't looking forward to the snow. Recently she hadn't gone to feed the crows, they came looking for her.

"Bang bang bang" they pecked at the window, scaring Qian Xin half to death.

"Fuck! There's a crow! Pecking at the window!"

Jin Yang rolled out of bed in a tumble, "Where where?"

Qian Xin pointed at the window, the crow cawed twice and then "bang bang bang" some more.

Jin Yang's eyes were wide, "Is it trying to get in?"

Qian Xin was a little afraid, "No way, aren't crows ominous? If it comes in our dorm will something happen..."

As she said this she rubbed her arms, she had goosebumps.

Chu Yang, who had just come back upstairs with hot water: "What's up?"

Jin Yang pointed at the window: "There's a crow."

Chu Yang took one look, oh it's that one, she immediately told her roommates: "Sorry, it's probably looking for me."

Jin Yang and Qian Xin: ???

Chu Yang put down the kettle in her hands, then went to the window. Before opening it she asked again: "Do you mind if I let it in? If you do I can go outside. No problem."

Jin Yang and Qian Xin shook their heads: "No problem, no problem. Since it's familiar with you we won't be scared."

"Yeah yeah. No problem."

When Chu Yang heard this she felt relieved. "It doesn't peck people. Don't worry. If it acts up, I'll just cook it!"

As soon as Chu Yang said this, the crow outside immediately stopped, then frantically flapped its wings, as if to say: I won't act up!

Chu Yang opened the window and held out her palm. The crow immediately landed in her palm, then started preening its feathers with its beak.

Chu Yang put a napkin on her desk, then placed the crow on the napkin and stroked its head: "Be good."

The crow nodded.

Beside them Jin Yang and Qian Xin were stunned.

Jin Yang's hands were twitching, "Chu Yang, can I touch it?"

Chu Yang didn't care: "Go ahead, it likes to eat French bread rolls. Feed it some and it'll listen to anything you say."

Hearing this Qian Xin immediately opened her drawer and took out a pack of rolls, "I have some. I want to touch it too." Any thoughts of it being ominous or scary were gone.

Jin Yang and Qian Xin played with the crow, chattering away: "Let's make it some clothes. Look how cold it is."

"Buy it a nest so it can live with us."

"Take out the clothes I don't wear and make it a blanket."

"What does it eat besides bread? Rice?"

"We can feed it some of our lunch when we buy it later."

Beside them Chu Yang said: "Crows are homeothermic, they don't feel cold. Plus if it cawed loudly at night, I'm afraid it would scare you. Best not to let the dorm supervisor auntie find out, that would be trouble. Just feed it full and let it go."

Jin Yang and Qian Xin were disappointed. "Okay."

When Zhou Caicai got back to the dorm, she saw Jin Yang and Qian Xin playing with a crow. "Wow! What's that?"

Jin Yang quickly explained: "It's Chu Yang's crow. You know, crows are a witch's helpful minions, so this one came looking for Chu Yang."

"Wow, so amazing!" Zhou Caicai looked at Chu Yang in admiration, "So the books were true!"

After saying this, she also ran over to gawk at the crow. The three of them started chattering again: "This crow is clearly not ordinary."

"Can it breathe fire?"

"Wow! Crows can really breathe fire? Cool!"

"Maybe it knows dark magic too, then it can turn into a hot guy!"

"Wow!"

Beside them Chu Yang said: "...You're imagining things. It's just an ordinary crow. It doesn't breathe fire or turn into hot guys. It just came by because it wanted some bread."

The three were disappointed...

The fully fed crow was let out by Chu Yang. It cawed twice happily and flew away satisfied.

In the last tutoring session of the semester, when Chu Yang left the employer's home, she counted her savings. Almost enough. She was going to buy materials to finally repair her crystal ball.

With money in hand, Chu Yang went back to the antique market. She made a beeline for her destination and bought the crystal materials. Spent all her money down to the last cent. With this finally settled, she happily went back to campus.

Just after she got on the bus, Chu Yang ran into Chi Yan, who was already on the bus. As soon as Chu Yang got on, Chi Yan sitting in the back saw her. He immediately waved.

Chu Yang saw him too. She went directly over and sat down in the spot Chi Yan had just vacated for her.

Right now there weren't many passengers on the bus, so there were empty seats.

Chi Yan knew why people got on at this stop, so he asked directly: "You came to buy stuff right? Let me know if you need me to take a look, some things here scam people who don't know better."

Chu Yang shook her head. "It's fine, I know what I'm doing."

Considering Chu Yang's identity, Chi Yan thought that made sense.

Chu Yang also asked him: "How come you're on this bus?" She knew Chi Yan lived in the same complex as her employer. Completely the opposite direction of here. Come to think of it, the two times she had come to the antique market and taken the bus back she had run into him. What were the odds?

Chi Yan explained: "I went home yesterday. Today I'm going back to campus. My family home is near the last stop on this bus line. The place near campus was just a house my parents got for me to make it convenient when I have classes. I'm local."

Chu Yang suddenly understood. He was from a rich family after all. She just didn't know why he always took the bus instead of driving, must be rich people keeping a low profile.

After this explanation they fell silent for a moment.

Chu Yang was thinking about repairing her crystal ball when she got back. Chi Yan thought about what Yuan Zhi had said before about repaying a life debt with marriage and glanced at Chu Yang's exquisite side profile, his ears getting redder and redder.
