Fushe feel it is quite funny how Cheng Jiayi facial appearance change in the span of mere minutes. Sometimes he would look at his master like he contemplate a very heavy issue, but in split second he seems measuring Yang Guang from different perspectives and angles. Then in another minutes, he will look like he is actually envying his master which Fushe don't know why he shall feel envious with Yang Guang. It does not make sense.
But truly, it is funny and quite entertaining. If his master has paralysis face, Cheng Jiayi on the other hand has the most expressive face. Expressive face that is so delicate and demure. Fushe does not know why but he think Cheng Jiayi definitely will be popular in ancient times with his look that rival the bamboo scholar of Jin Dynasty. The people in that era appreciate beauty in all forms, and they also quite relaxed in expressing it. What an era to live in.
Anyway, meeting this Cheng Jiayi, which is not the scary powerful Cheng Jiayi is entertaining for Fushe and he also get Yang Guang attention. Yang Guang might have impassive features, but Fushe know well when he feel amused or angry. Right now, Yang Guang exude amusement with Cheng Jiayi facial expressions that change a dozens times within a minute. Like what exactly the teenager is thinking as he practically checking Yang Guang out.
Even the question his master asked about incomplete soul is left behind when the teenager suddenly asked Yang Guang if he fond of doing workout activity. Yang Guang at first taken aback with the sudden question, but then he cannot hide his amusement seen the eagerness in Cheng Jiayi eyes, even Uncle Ming cannot hide his smile.
Workout ? Dear Cheng Jiayi if you know Yang Guang daily routine, you will not want to be him. Well with all the daily practice that he have undergone since he just 4 years old. That is how strict the Yang with their descendants that passed their ancestor cultivation test. No one in the Yang family, main branched or line branched can escape the test, which is essential in maintaining their status in cultivation world.
"Hmm I have daily practice with grandfather and elder uncle, if that what you are wonder Cheng Jiayi," Yang Guang reply while Cheng Jiayi has already thought a miles with this statement. "Wait, you practice workout with your grandfather and uncle ? Did they taught you martial arts like Kungfu ?" Cheng Jiayi sure is excited to know. Wang Churan that sit by his side look at his friend and his face that still retain the fat from his childhood, furrow with frown, which make him cute instead. That is why Cheng Jiayi love to poke the baby fat on his cheeks.
"What is Kungfu Cheng Jiayi. Do you mean combat arts ?" the teenager ask his friend.
"Huh combat arts. What is that ?" he implored with a surprise mien. Wang Churan look at his friend like he see him for the first time.
"You see schoolmate Yang, since the incidents my friend has lost a lot of his brain cell. He does not know even the world geography or even the name of our mother planet. I am quite worried about this," though Wang Churan speak this with such seriousness, but the baby fat on his face just make it less sombre and solemn as how he intend to do. Nonetheless, Yang Guang take that piece of information and store it in his mind for further reference.
Change in attitude and show little comprehension of their current world, it is almost like the current Cheng Jiayi is not the former Cheng Jiayi.
"Previously he even said he want to live in our school dormitory. I believe you must hear the story about our school dorm," Wang Churan speak to Yang Guang with serious façade while Cheng Jiayi already move his hand like the octopus to stop him from further speaking.
"Why with our school dorm ?" that question from Yang Guang make Wang Churan eyes widen while Cheng Jiayi look at him and smile brightly. "You see Chuchu even schoolmate Yang does not listen to all kinds of nonsense that our school dorm is haunted."
"Yang Guang you really never heard of it. It is famous among the freshmen, the sophomore and senior always talked about our school dorm and its haunting history," Yang Guang look at Wang Churan and the tall teenager only smile to him. Fushe by his side already laughing out loud.
Ghost ? Who is actually scaring who ? There is reason why the Yang family known throughout cultivator's world. This is because their Yang family cultivation prowess is highly based on the superiority of their Yang essence. Ghost would not come within a miles of Yang family member or for Yang Guang specifically, no ghost will actually deliver themselves to him. He is the ban of ghost, or anything related to ghost due to how strong his Yang energy.
Besides, Shishi 1st High School dormitory is quite famous with urban legend that can be true or not. No one really know how this urban legend start appearing but for now, every students in their school know about it. Yang Guang does not bother with such legend that appear out of nowhere. It is more of the tactic of their senior to scare the junior or perhaps to reduce the competition to gain the room in the dormitory which is quite competitive and the number of room available is limited.
"I think it is only urban legend that our senior use to scare us. But why you suddenly want to move to school dorm, Cheng Jiayi ?" Yang Guang asked the teenager sit on the sofa facing him.
"Oh, my house now has only me, and it is quite lonely. I cannot continue bother aunt and uncle, so I think it will be wise to move to school dorm. Besides, like Chuchu said I lost a lot of brain cell, staying at school dorm can help me focused on my study, we will be in sophomore class soon, so I think it is important for me to catching up what I had forgotten."
It is quite a lengthy explanation given by Cheng Jiayi and he is actually serious about moving to school dormitory when the school begin. First and foremost, he cannot continue bother the Wang family no matter how they insist that he is not inconvenience for them. Mrs Wang want to take Cheng Jiayi into her family since the day grandfather Cheng passed away, but Cheng Jiayi has always refused politely. Thus, the incidents become the justification she used to move Cheng Jiayi to her home. But well as Cheng Jiayi not really her relatives, she cannot really retain him if he want to move to school dormitory.
Cheng Jiayi love Mrs Wang even if he just know her for the short time period. She gives him the mother loves that he never have when he grow up previously, but he cannot continuously stay in the house of Wang family. He just don't feel comfortable to do so.
Besides of that, another reason he want to stay in the dormitory because it is the only way he can hides the inconsistency between him and the original Cheng Jiayi. He cannot forever use his injury as the excuse why he act quite differently. He and the teenager Cheng Jiayi in essence, have different attitudes and personalities, and he cannot be the teenager Cheng Jiayi as they are no longer the same person.
He also feel a bit uncomfortable with the treatment given by the Wang family as it is quintessentially for the teenager Cheng Jiayi, not for him exactly. It feel like he is barnacle that suddenly burrow in a shells of other and receive such a warm and lovely treatment due of that shell, not because of himself.
You can call him self-conscious, but that is the absolute truth of the situation he is now facing. Subconsciously, Cheng Jiayi feel guilty toward the teenager which body he currently inhabit.
That is why when he learned about the school dormitory, he decided to register for the next school year and be a stay in student instead. He know he can actually obtain a place in the dormitory using Cheng Jiayi special circumstances. He also has money to support his study, thus this time Cheng Jiayi would want to educate himself and maybe continue his study in the university, something that he cannot do in his previous life due to the lack of fund and other factor as well. He knows well how people around him in his previous life thought about him. They call him name and everything, even his teacher is quite partial to blamed him. That is the fate of children from broken family in the small community he lived in his previous world. Such a blatant unfairness that is not even his mistake, but the culpability all throw unto his young shoulder at that time.
Cheng Jiayi also wish he can have a happy family with both parents that love him. How he feel envious every time he see his school mate with their parents. Cheng Jiayi know, even with this transmigration, he will never escape the shadow of his previous life which make him such a self-conscious person. He try to pretend not to be bother with what people said about him, what other perceives about his personality, but most of the times, Cheng Jiayi felt he lives in guilt and pretences that if he ignore it, he might forget about it.
But such an ambiguous feeling, is just a short remedy. For the rest of his 28 years of life in his previous world, Cheng Jiayi could never escape that self-conscious feeling, that he is just the unwanted child.
