Chapter 74 Come over and have something to eat?

The two people and the cat returned to the store.

Zhong Wan unlocked the door, pushed it open, and looked at the clean and tidy environment inside, feeling somewhat strange.

Has Ah Gui been freed?

Thinking this, she walked into the shop, curiously searching for something: "A-Gui?"

"Where are you, Ah Gui?"

【Ah Gui is here.】

Zhong Wan turned her head in the direction of the sound and saw A Gui waving a broom with great enthusiasm. Looking at the pure Yin energy on its body, she couldn't help but laugh: "A Gui is great."

"The store is so clean, thumbs up o(￣▽￣)d."

Thank you, Master.

Ah Gui, controlling the slender stick figure's body and its bulbous head, gave her a gentlemanly bow.

Seeing this, Zhong Wan laughed even harder. She couldn't help but reach out and pat A Gui's head, looking at its tearful expression.

He glanced sideways at the transparent, shadowy figure in the corner and asked in a low voice, "Nobody's bullying Ah Gui, is he?"

No.

"Um."

Zhong Wan nodded in relief.

She doesn't have many redeeming qualities; her biggest flaw is her fierce protectiveness of her own.

As a working-class woman, Ah Gui was someone who was easy to use, convenient, and didn't cost any money.

She has to protect him at least a little.

"Zhong Wan, where should we put this pile?"

Meow~

Hearing Lin Yan'an's voice, Zhong Wan realized there was still a lot of stuff in the trunk.

She quickly turned her head to look, seeing the things Lin Yan'an was carrying, and then looking at the pile floating above Zhong Suisui's head.

Zhong Wan fell silent.

No, and nobody told her that yin energy could be used like that.

"Zhong Wan?"

【Mother? 】

A puzzled voice from a human and a cat sounded in front of her.

Zhong Wan quickly snapped out of her daze, pointed upstairs, and said, "Put it in the refrigerator."

"Um."

Lin Yan'an nodded, looked down at Zhong Suisui and said, "Suisui, go upstairs first, Daddy will be right up."

【Meow~ Okay, Daddy.】

Zhong Suisui walked with elegant cat-like steps, tilting her kitten-like face and nodding slightly.

The moment it lifted its foot, a flash of black light appeared, and the cat instantly used its yin energy to carry the pile of things upstairs.

Lin Yan'an then headed towards the stairs, but after catching a glimpse of a blurry figure in the corner, he paused.

He squinted at the mass of black mist in front of him, then turned to look at Zhong Wan.

Noticing Lin Yan'an's gaze, Zhong Wan nodded, walked over, and whispered, "The night we left, he possessed A Gui."

Lin Yan'an frowned and pondered upon hearing this, "The night before, on the way back with Xingyu, I felt like there was something in the car. Was it him?"

"have no idea."

Zhong Wan shook her head, took something from his hand, and said, "Let's not worry about that for now, let's see what we're having for dinner."

"Um,"

The two went upstairs one after the other, tidying up their things while discussing what to eat.

Zhong Suisui was playing leisurely in its special playground, occasionally stretching its neck and meowing.

Ah Gui, carrying a large broom, thoughtfully tidied up the trash they had left behind.

The atmosphere was warm and beautiful.

He was like a voyeur, lurking in a corner, spying on their lives.

A talking cat, a stick figure that can possess him and replenish his yin energy, and others who seem to be able to see him...

He had so many questions he wanted answered, yet he didn't seem to really want to know them.

What does the outcome have to do with him?

This world is really so boring.

Why……

He looked down at his translucent hands, and in his daze, he could still hear the screech of brakes and the crash of shattering glass.

He had doubts, but remained silent.

Whatever, it doesn't matter.

He didn't want to speak or communicate with others, remaining a silent spectator.

His arrival here was an accident, an accident he hadn't expected.

He used to wander the street where he died every day, but unexpectedly he was drawn to this man.

When he came to his senses, he was already here.

Feeling comfortable in the atmosphere, he stayed.

I never expected to stay for so long.

Upon first hearing their voices, he hid in a corner like a thief, only then discovering Ah Gui.

The dense yin energy emanating from Ah Gui attracted his soul.

It then involuntarily attached itself to it.

The parched soul is nourished.

But when he met that woman's gaze as she closed the door, he felt incredibly guilty.

Seeing their warm and friendly conversation, he lowered his eyes dejectedly and whispered an apology: "I'm sorry..."

A faint, ethereal voice gently fell beside their ears.

Zhong Wan was taken aback, exchanged a glance with Lin Yan'an, and seeing the surprise in his eyes, she couldn't help but smile and curl her lips, ignoring his words.

Instead, she reached out and pinched Lin Yan'an's cheek, smiling as she asked, "Mr. Lin, what shall we eat tonight?"

Lin Yan'an raised her hand and took her small hand away, saying, "Mom said, dumplings before getting on the bus, noodles upon getting off."

"Let's cook noodles for dinner."

"Okay, then you can make the arrangements and take good care of our ghost guests."

"Um."

After watching Lin Yan'an turn and walk towards the kitchen, Zhong Wan looked at the illusory figure and asked with a smile, "Why did you say sorry?"

The figure trembled, pursed his lips, shook his head at her, and said nothing.

Seeing this, Zhong Wan couldn't help but become even more curious.

He was the first "complete" ghost she had ever seen.

His body was intact, his language system was complete, and there were no special marks on him.

Well, if I had to say, it seems like my facial expression was a bit cold.

But Mr. Lin's expression was also very good.

Maybe he's just indifferent to strangers?

Zhong Wan thought uncertainly, and after not hearing him speak, she didn't pay any more attention.

Although she really wanted to complete the task and earn money, she needed to rest first, didn't she?

Although she earned and invested a lot from the last task, she still managed to save some money.

Zhong Wan thought about her monthly mortgage payment, and after a moment's thought, decided to pay it off in full to save herself the trouble.

She leisurely nestled in Zhong Suisui's territory, using her phone.

After she finished, dinner was ready in no time.

Zhong Wan quickly put down her phone and diligently helped bring it out.

Her husband, Mr. Lin, even thoughtfully prepared a small bowl for each of the cat and the two ghosts.

"It's time for the little ghost to eat, Sui Sui."

Zhong Wan set down the bowls and chopsticks, then looked at the illusory figure and invited, "Come and have some with us?"

"I?"

"Yes, it's you. Come and have something to eat with us?"

"……Thanks."

He was eventually moved, for a bowl of hot noodles and a gesture of kindness.

Watching his figure float towards me,

Zhong Wan smiled and asked, "My name is Zhong Wan, and this is my husband, Lin Yan'an."

[Meow! And Sui Sui too!]

Seeing Zhong Suisui eagerly answering, Lin Yan'an smiled and reached out to rub its little head: "Yes, and our Suisui too."

【Uh-huh. 】

The tiny kitten, no bigger than the palm of a hand, nodded contentedly, comfortably enjoying the man's pampering.

He suddenly felt a little envious.

Zhong Wan glanced at his gaze, then looked at Lin Yan'an, who was feeding Zhong Suisui eggs.

She smiled and looked at him, asking, "What should I call you?"
