What I wasn't expecting was that he actually lived in the faculty at University A. The faculty college is right across the street from A's west gate and is surrounded by Chinese parasols. When I was studying, I never went even once. I only know that a few years ago the courtyard and some old buildings were demolished to build two modern apartments with a lift.

Mu Chenghe does not live in the newly built apartment, he lives in one of the old building behind it.

The apartment is very spacious, especially the living room. There is a large elongated desk in the free space behind the sofa, in which there are two notebooks, a pile of books, a pile of papers placed randomly next to the notebooks and the paperweight is a eyeglasse case, which must be empty, because the black-rimmed glasses are on his nose.

"Someone once told me that these three buildings belong to former teachers and are considered a national treasure, I did not know that you also lived here." He looks like a giant panda.

"This house was assigned to my father when he was still teaching."

Then he made a gesture with his eyes and said behind me: "It is said that a man hung himself on the doorframe behind you." Before his voice trailed off, I jumped up and grabbed his sleeve. Staring at the dial on the door, I suddenly felt like a gust of wind was blowing in.

But I didn't think he was going to laugh. "I scared you."

He said again, "Aren't you a brave person? It seems you just saw the devil, the serpent, and the gods surrounding you

He said again, "Aren't you a brave person? It seems you just saw the devil, the serpent, and the gods surrounding you. Did you really believe my story?" His smile had already framed his eyebrows.

I let go of his sleeve and said, "If you say things like that in the middle of the night, obviously people will freak out." How could I imagine that him being in such a good mood to make this kind of joke on me.
