Quick Transmigration: Striving Every Day to Overcome Tribulation

"Little girl, do you want to eat too?" Ye Fangshu gently squatted down, her eyes full of concern, and tentatively asked Su Su in a soft voice.

Her voice was very soft, like a gentle breeze, as if afraid of disturbing the somewhat timid little guy.

Su Su was wrapped up tightly, her large pumpkin head was tightly wrapped in a colorful scarf, the edges of which were slightly fuzzy and shimmered with a soft glow in the light.

The flame inside the pumpkin head burned eerily, its color a strange blue-purple, like the light of a shimmering elf in the mysterious night sky. The flame flickered slightly, making the surrounding air seem somewhat ethereal.

Her eyes were fixed on Ye Fangshu, filled with ignorance and innocence, her adorable appearance like that of a naive little child.

She gently shook her head, her large hat swaying slightly with her movement.

Immediately, the cowardly Su Su, like a frightened little animal, quickly crawled under the table.

She stretched out her small, gloved hands and grabbed the tablecloth, pulling it hard as if she wanted to roll herself up like sushi and hide in this dark corner.

Her body trembled slightly, every movement showing tension and unease. She glanced at Ye Fangshu standing there, whose tattered clothes, now covered in mud and grime, were being washed in the washing machine by Ye Fangshu.

At this moment, she was like a snail that had lost its protective shell, fragile and helpless.

Ye Fangshu sighed helplessly. She squatted down and coaxed the coward out in a soft voice, "Come out, little girl, I'll give you candy."

But the coward still ignored her, simply clutching the tablecloth blankly with its tiny hands, its eyes filled with fear and unease, as if everything around it might harm it.

Ye Fangshu slowly stood up. Her back was a little sore from bending over for so long. She gently patted her back and her gaze fell on the little pumpkin on Su Su Pumpkin's head.

The little pumpkin somehow fell to the ground, and although it wanted to roll, it seemed to be restrained by something and dared not move, looking quite comical.

Ye Fangshu walked over with a smile, picked up the small pumpkin, and placed it in front of Su Su.

Then, Ye Fangshu turned her gaze to the dishes on the table that had gone cold. She frowned slightly and carried the dishes to the kitchen one by one.

Soon, the sound of the microwave running came from the kitchen, and a short while later, she brought out steaming hot dishes.

Instantly, the entire space was filled with the enticing aroma of food. Qiqi couldn't help but roll around a few times, her round body looking even cuter.

"Master~, how about..." Qiqi's voice carried a hint of coquetry.

Su Su was speechless. She wanted to roll her eyes, but the situation didn't allow it, so she could only say to Qi Qi, "Didn't you say you wanted to maintain your persona? Besides, we're ghosts now, can we eat?"

Qi Qi fell silent for a moment, not responding to Su Su's words.

Just when Su Su thought Qi Qi had given up on the idea, Qi Qi suddenly spoke up again: "Western ghosts and monsters should be able to eat, right? Otherwise, why would they need candy?"

Qiqi spoke with great conviction, as if she had found an excellent reason.

"Master, let's not worry about maintaining the character's image for now! We just need to wait for the male lead to come and complete the mission," Qi Qi continued to persuade.

“That makes sense!” Su Su agreed.

Just then, Ye Fangshu's phone lit up after she finished her work, and a crisp ringtone broke the atmosphere in the room.

Ye Fangshu hurriedly answered the phone. The voice on the other end was full of anxiety: "Mom! How are you? My phone just notified me that your heart rate was too high. I called you several times, but you didn't answer. But you sent me a message. Is something wrong on your end?"

The last sentence was spoken in a particularly low and soft voice, revealing deep worry.

However, Ye Fangshu subconsciously looked at the coward who had crawled out and gave a negative answer without thinking.

"It's nothing! I just ran into a kid. It's Halloween, after all! The kid was so cute and well-behaved, just a little shy. Not as boisterous as Xiao Yi. But they're playing abroad right now!" Her voice was calm, trying to reassure the person on the other end of the phone.

"I'm used to being all alone," Ye Fangshu continued, her tone carrying a hint of feigned ease.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Fanye, the captain of the handling bureau, felt a surge of guilt.

His mother only had two sons. His older brother was married and had a son, but he lived abroad for work and usually only came home for Chinese New Year. His profession was somewhat unusual, so he was also often away from home, leaving his mother alone. They wouldn't know what was happening to her. Jiang Fan truly felt he deserved to die.

But before the guilt could spread, it was shattered by Ye Fangshu's next sentence.

"But it's good too. I can't stand it if it's too noisy. This new kid is nice."

Ye Fangshu picked up the knife, fork, and spoon and handed them to Su Su, who had already fully leaned out of the room. Her eyes were full of concern; she was genuinely worried that Su Su wouldn't know how to use chopsticks.

Su Su lowered her head slightly, and after seeing Ye Fangshu's gentle gaze, she hesitated for a moment before accepting the gift. She then sat down and quietly waited for Ye Fangshu.

"Alright! I'm not going to say anything more, you..." Ye Fangshu was about to end the call.

"Trick or treat!" the coward suddenly said again, his strange tone reaching Jiang Fanye's ears.

"Mom! What's that kid over there? Why does he sound so strange?" With his professional instincts, Jiang Fanye immediately sensed that something was wrong with Ye Fangshu.

"It's that kid I just told you about! It's Halloween, kids like to play pranks, what's the big deal? You're just too suspicious," Ye Fangshu said reproachfully.

"I can't chat with you for now, you go ahead and do your thing. I'm about to eat!" she said, glancing at the table full of food and the eager Su Su and Qi Qi, the little pumpkin.

"Mom, why haven't you eaten yet? It's so late! You need to eat on time." Jiang Fanye's voice was full of concern, and his worry seemed to be transmitted through the phone.

"I know, I know, stop nagging!" Ye Fangshu replied, feigning impatience, but a slight smile played on her lips, revealing a hint of doting affection.

"I'll go home after I'm done with this busy period. It's not that Xiao Yi is not coming back on purpose; he's so young, and we don't feel comfortable letting him go out alone. Besides, my older brother is really busy with work!"

Jiang Fanye seemed to be explaining, or perhaps comforting Ye Fangshu, that he didn't want his mother to be too lonely because her family wasn't around.

"Alright, alright! You know your mom, I'm not that petty!" Ye Fangshu said with a smile, then hung up the phone quickly and slowly walked back to the dining table.

"Nannan, let's start eating!" Ye Fangshu said with a gentle smile. She first picked up a piece of tempting meat for Su Su, and then specially placed a small bowl in front of Qiqi.

"Come on, eat!" she said warmly.

Upon hearing this, Qiqi and Susu happily began to eat. Ye Fangshu quietly observed from the side, then also picked up a piece of food with her chopsticks and put it into her empty, dark mouth. The food disappeared as if swallowed by darkness as soon as it entered her mouth.

Even so, they ate with great relish, as if it were the most delicious food in the world.

As Su Su ate, her eyes kept darting around to Ye Fangshu. Seeing that Ye Fangshu didn't make a move, she couldn't help but glance at her again and again, and even her eating speed unconsciously slowed down.

"What's wrong? Did you not like the food? Or do you want steak or toast?" Ye Fangshu noticed Su Su's unusual behavior and asked with concern.

She thought to herself, "Today is Halloween, these ghosts from the West might not be used to Chinese food."

Su Su shook her head hesitantly and said softly, "You eat too!"

She had just overheard Ye Fangshu chatting with her son, and Ye Fangshu herself hadn't even eaten yet.

Ye Fangshu smiled, a smile full of joy. She nodded repeatedly, her eyes filled with emotion.

But just as they were finishing their meal, the doorbell suddenly rang.
