As the red-clad ghost departed.
The room fell into a deathly silence. When Su Shiming and Seventeen looked at each other blankly again, they hurriedly began to put on their clothes.
"I will be responsible for you!"
"Just pretend nothing happened!"
They both said in unison.
Then, his face turned red.
"Who asked you to take responsibility! You little brat."
"How can we pretend nothing happened?"
Again in unison.
We weren't so in sync before going to sleep.
A cell phone ring broke the awkward silence.
It was a voice message sent by Ling Yue in the three-person group "[Li Si Wants to Sleep]".
Seventeen answered the call immediately.
"How are you doing?"
"Things are mostly clearing up. I'll give you a detailed report when we get back."
Seventeen quickly finished speaking and hung up the phone.
Ling Yue was completely confused. She had never seen Seventeen speak with such strong emotions before, and she even hung up the phone first.
Has something happened in Yun County?
So she sent another message in the group.
Ling Yue: When do you plan to go back?
Ling Yue: Li Si hasn't dared to close her eyes. Tell me the exact time she'll be back so she can calm down. @Su Shiming
Su Shiming's eyes were glued to Seventeen the whole time, and he didn't even notice the phone notification.
It was Seventeen who spoke first, reminding him, "Sister Xiaoyue is calling you in the group chat, go check your phone."
Only then did he blankly take out his phone and glance at it.
He then asked Seventeen, "When do you want to go back?"
What do you mean by "when does she want to come back"?
Has the matter with Wang Dafu next door been resolved? And what was that beautiful ghost all about? Hasn't she been caught yet?
"Didn't Sister Xiaoyue say that she wants us to go back as soon as possible?"
"Okay, I'll have someone arrange it right away."
After Seventeen finished packing and Su Shiming checked out, she discovered that the hotel staff hadn't looked for Su Shiming, and no one had called the police.
It wasn't until they were seated in the stretch Lincoln that Seventeen dared to ask, "Where's Wang Dafu's body? Didn't the hotel staff see it? Why didn't anyone call the police?"
"It's already been taken care of, so don't worry."
You can even get someone to handle this?
How powerful is Su Shiming?
Seventeen didn't ask any more questions and took out her phone to book tickets for the two of them to go back.
As was his habit, he booked economy class. This time, Su Shiming didn't make a sound and remained quiet throughout the journey.
The two returned to the Ghost Realm, and when Li Si saw Su Shiming, his eyes lit up.
Su Shiming quickly took off the jade pendant from his neck and handed it to Li Si.
After thanking him, Li Si went straight to bed and fell asleep.
Seventeen told Ling Yue everything about Shen Cuilan and Wang Dafu.
How did it get involved with Xuanqing Temple again?
"In other words, Shen Cuilan actually knew she was going to be sentenced to death before she was arrested, and made all the preparations for what would happen after her death."
"Yes, it seems someone is deliberately preventing us from finding out about Shen Cuilan's daughter who was sold again."
Su Shiming spoke up at this moment, "The more this is the case, the more I feel that Li Si is Shen Cuilan's biological daughter. It's just that Shen Cuilan is dead, so a paternity test cannot be done."
Another question that had been bothering Ling Yue was, "Since Li Si was Shen Cuilan's only daughter, why did she continue to disturb her daughter's peace even after her death? Shouldn't a dead person repent for their mistakes and try to make amends?"
Su Shiming couldn't help but chuckle. "Then we'll have to ask the deceased Shen Cuilan."
It was originally a joke from Su Shiming, but Ling Yue completely agreed with it.
She needs to find a way to go to the Underworld to see what's going on.
The original plan was that once they found the problem, they could help Li Si resolve her predicament. It seems they still have to go and see Shen Cuilan's spirit.
"You two have worked hard on this trip to Yun County. Today you're given a day off to go back and rest."
Seventeen hesitated, wanting to tell Ling Yue about the red-clad ghost.
"Sister Xiaoyue, actually we also ran into..."
Seventeen was interrupted halfway through his sentence by a violent cough from Su Shiming.
What's wrong with Red Hair?
"I've caught a cold, and my throat is so sore..."
Upon hearing this, Ling Yue realized it was a work-related injury!
"Seventeen, could you please take Red Hair to the hospital for a checkup? The store will reimburse the expenses."
Seventeen wanted to say something more, but Su Shiming pulled her into his arms, hanging most of his body on her.
"Hurry up and take him to the doctor, don't let him faint in the store."
Once he got into Su Shiming's car, the guy hummed a little tune, started the car, and acted like nothing had happened.
Seventeen grabbed his ear and said, "Fine! I knew you were acting!"
"Hey, hey, grandma, let go! Let's talk this out, don't pull people's ears all the time!"
Seventeen released his grip. "Why won't you let me know about that red-clad ghost?"
"Didn't you say you'd act like nothing happened?"
Su Shiming's tone was full of grievance.
"What I mean is, let's pretend that nothing happened between us. I didn't mean that the red-clothed ghost also didn't happen."
Su Shiming loosened the seatbelt he had just fastened and then leaned towards Seventeen in the passenger seat.
When Seventeen saw Su Shiming suddenly appear in front of her, her heart inexplicably raced as he approached.
"Your IQ is pretty high when you're playing on the computer, so why can't you figure it out now? That's a beautiful ghost, you know. Doesn't something happen where a beautiful ghost appears?"
Su Shiming pulled Seventeen's seatbelt over and fastened it for her.
Seeing her nervous yet absent-minded expression, I found her inexplicably adorable.
So he couldn't resist, so he raised his hand, turned her face toward him, and kissed her.
At this moment, as if by reflex, Seventeen raised her hand and slapped him.
Su Shiming rubbed half of his face, somewhat sullenly saying, "Why did I get slapped in the face again..."
"Can't we go somewhere else?"
Think about it, getting a slap after a kiss is worth it.
"What should we do now?"
"Of course we're going to rest. Didn't my sister-in-law say we could rest today?"
"Let me show you our new house. My grandfather prepared it for me a long time ago."
Seventeen wants to hit someone again now. Is this guy crazy?
