"Cough...nothing. I was...stretching."His hand, which froze in mid-air, followed through with the motion and bent toward the ground. After that, he forcefully straightened his body and did a stretch before he turned and walked towards his car. "Let"s go, I"ll give you a lift."
Pei Jianing also vanished into the thin air.
Chen Shou was puzzled. "Teacher, why is there so much dust on the back of your s.h.i.+rt?
"Oh, is that so? I don"t know where I brushed it again. It"s alright, don"t bother about it."
Lin Wu acted casual and waved his hand while silently musing, "Wasn"t this because I was pushed down by your ex-girlfriend?"
Love was a beam of light~
Lin Wu silently sighed. He then opened the car door and let Chen Ning sit in the back. After that, he drove out of the campus.
…
...
After sending Chen Ning home, Lin Wu directly turned a corner and headed back to the direction of his home.
Today, he had promised the sickly beauty s.h.i.+ Qiuhong to help her rescue her grandfather from the morgue. However, he had to communicate with those ghosts in the morgue first.
For such a matter, even if he had the yin-yang eyes, it wouldn"t be easy for him to settle it. It would be better if Xiao Qin was to handle it.
Not long later, Lin Wu arrived below his house building.
After parking the car, he directly headed into the lift and pressed on the 9th-floor b.u.t.ton.
"Ding!"
The lift stopped on the 9th floor, and the door slowly opened.
Lin Wu walked out and went to the 901 unit. But when he was preparing to press the bell, he discovered that the door of the unit was already open. A piano melody like flowing water could be heard from within the house.
Ai, did that fellow Xiao Qin have telepathy with him?
Lin Wu involuntarily mumbled while feeling somewhat bewildered in his heart.
However, back then when he had come to find her, she had even pa.s.sed through the wall and directly appeared. Why did she need to open the door today?
Also, why was there the sound of someone playing the piano?
"Xiao…"
Before he could call her name out, he was immediately speechless.
Because...the person that came out of the house wasn"t Xiao Qin. It was an old lady with white hair. She even had a trash bin in her hand and was bending her back as she tidied the rubbish.
"Eh…"
Lin Wu couldn"t help but be astonished.
The unit 901 had other people in it?
Wasn"t Xiao Qin staying here alone?
Could it be that she had moved away?
The granny lifted her head and saw Lin Wu. She couldn"t help but be puzzled. "Little fellow, who are you looking for?"
"I…"
Before he could finish speaking, the piano sound stopped. A girl about 16-17 years old walked out of the living room. Her features were exquisite, and there was still a trace of baby fat on her face.
It was none other than the appearance Xiao Qin used when she had met him previously.
Lin Wu involuntarily hesitated. Was this Xiao Qin?
Or was she the actual person that Xiao Qin used as the model?
"Lin Wu, you came?"
The girl smiled at Lin Wu. After that, she spoke to the granny, "Grandma, this is a friend of mine named Lin Wu, and he stays at the unit 1201. Today, I asked him out so that I could learn to sketch."
Only then was Lin Wu sure that this was Xiao Qin.
However, she was clearly a ghost and her real appearance shouldn"t be this. Why would she pretend to be the granny"s granddaughter?
"Little Wan, is he your friend?" The granny stared at Lin Wu warily as though she was afraid Lin Wu might harm her granddaughter.
"Granny~" Xiao Qin acted coquettishly as she pulled on her granny"s arm. "Lin Wu"s girlfriend is there as well. We are going to be learning together."
The old granny was shaken by Xiao Qin until she couldn"t bear it. She involuntarily cast a doting glance at her granddaughter. "Okay, okay. You can go, but you have to take note of your safety. If there"s something wrong, immediately give granny a call, alright?"
"Thanks, granny."
Xiao Qin giggled and gave her a kiss. After that, she changed her shoes and left her house. Before she closed the door, she still called out, "Granny, I will be back pretty late tonight and will have dinner outside. After grandpa returns, the two of you can enjoy your romantic couple"s world together."
"This la.s.s…" The old granny didn"t know to laugh or cry.
Lin Wu was a little speechless. Was this Xiao Qin?
All of a sudden, another wave of melodious piano sound rang out. But it disappeared very quickly, just like an illusion.
Lin Wu couldn"t help but start.
Where did the piano sound come from?
From what Xiao Qin had said, she told her grandma to wait for her grandpa to return for their romantic night. This also meant that there was only the granny in the house right now. In that case, where did the piano sound come from?
Moreover, the granny showed no reactions. It was like...she couldn"t hear the sound of the piano at all.
However, Lin Wu didn"t notice that Xiao Qing"s expression changed abruptly for a second before recovering to normal.
"Bang!"
Before Lin Wu could contemplate further, the door already closed.
Lin Wu involuntarily asked, "Xiao Qin, that piano sound earlier…"
"Let"s talk in the lift." Xiao Qin glanced at him. She then pulled him by his sleeves and walked into the lift.
After the two of them were in the lift, Lin Wu casually pressed the 1st-floor b.u.t.ton. He then asked, "There should only be the granny in the 901 unit, correct? Where did the piano sound come from?"
Xiao Qin glanced at him and laughed, "Why don"t you take a guess?"
"..." Lin Wu speechlessly rolled his eyes. "It should be... from a ghost?"
"It"s naturally a ghost. If not, why couldn"t the granny hear it?" Xiao Qin nodded. She then laughed. "That ghost was saying h.e.l.lo to you. My current appearance is how she looked like."
"She?" Lin Wu was puzzled.
"Mn, she is one of my customers." Xiao Qin casually spoke, "Didn"t I say before that my job is a connector? I specialized in fulfilling wishes for ghosts. She is precisely one of my customers."
"The ghost that plays the piano?" Lin Wu asked.
"Right."
Xiao QIn nodded. "Her name is Xing Wan`er. She is the granddaughter of the granny and grandpa of the 901 unit. A young female genius at playing the piano, and because her obsession was the piano, she resided in it after her death. Her grandparents only have her as kin and because she didn"t want them to be too upset, she asked me to take on her appearance and take care of her grandparents for her."
Lin Wu nodded in understanding. "I didn"t expect you to do a good deed."
"This is the obsession for my existence, okay?" Xiao Qin snorted. "Who would be the same as you? Being so savage and fierce even after your death…"
"I"m not considered savage, right?" Lin Wu laughed. "If I am savage, I would have already forced you to become my wife."
Xiao Qin rolled her eyes. She hugged her shoulders and spoke, "Well, I have to speak up for the future you. In the future, although you are very fierce, you are pretty cool. You only married those ghost wives for the sake of protecting them."
"Okay then."
Lin Wu shook his head in a somewhat helpless manner. "Sadly, those ghost wives might not be able to reincarnate. If not, they wouldn"t go so far as to hate me, right?"
Xiao Qin"s lips twitched. She didn"t reply to his question but asked, "You came to look for me? What"s the matter(干嘛)?"
"Yes (干 - the word f*ck shares the same p.r.o.nunciation)."
Lin Wu immediately nodded.
"..." Xiao Qin touched her head and spoke in an annoyed voice, "Big bro, I"m a ghost. You won"t be able to bang me. To you, I"m like the air. Are you daydreaming? Can you stop having inappropriate thoughts about me?"
"I was just joking, don"t be so agitated." Lin Wu coughed and continued with a straight face, "Can"t I even make a joke since we are friends?"
"Oh(哦 - sentence particle that conveys friendliness/intimacy)," Xiao Qin calmly replied.
"Nope." Lin Wu shook his head.
Xiao Qin, "..."
