Chapter 70: The Game of Four Directions

```

Raising ghosts was already a thing of two months ago, and there wasn't much curiosity over Ye Xiang's disappearance, with people only occasionally bringing it up. Some said his father had an accident and he had to drop out to take over the family duties; others said his family moved him to another school because of their job. Everyone had their theory, but no one knew where he had actually gone, except me. I never told them the real answer, because I knew even if I did, they wouldn't believe it.

After more than two months of school life, I'm actually looking forward to what lies ahead. Perhaps, if I study hard, I'll eventually leave that desolate place where 'neither chicken lays eggs nor birds drop poop'. One day, I will surely bring my grandmother, parents, and mentor over to enjoy some peace and quiet.
