"I've never played it before, that's a shame."
Shi Ling thought of Yu Chen's frail health and his grandfather's comments about how he didn't have many friends his age. She felt sorry for him and said, "How about this? I'll take you out this year. Let's set off fireworks together!"
Yu Chen's Adam's apple moved slightly: "Okay."
Gu Xiuji clenched his hands slightly on the steering wheel, feeling that the boy from the Si family was indeed an eyesore.
Yet, ever since his wife's death, Si Ting, the head of the Si family, has been ruthless and protective of his only son, treating him like the apple of his eye. He has earned a reputation in the imperial capital as a ruthless villain. Even he wouldn't dare to attack Yu Chen easily within the empire.
Gu Xiuji was feeling annoyed, but he could only speed up.
"arrive."
"That's fast."
Shi Ling talked a lot all the way, but still felt a little unsatisfied.
After getting off the bus, she found herself surrounded by familiar surroundings. It wasn't until she followed Gu Xiuji into the elevator of Chu Jiao's building that she exclaimed in surprise, "Teacher Gu, so you and I live in the same building. Why haven't I met you before?"
Yu Chen and Shi Ling stood aside, leaning against the elevator wall, looking at Gu Xiuji across from them with cold eyes.
Gu Xiuji raised his eyebrows slightly, as if surprised. "I just moved here two weeks ago because the environment is good and the rent is cheap. You live here too? Which floor?"
Shi Ling: "The thirteenth floor. Downstairs from you. Teacher Gu, you've been ripped off. This place was haunted, so the rent is cheap. Of course, I've already chased the ghost away."
At this moment, a ghost face suddenly appeared in front of her, like a monkey trying to catch the moon. "Shi Ling, how come I didn't know about this?"
Gu Xiuji and Yu Chen: "..."
Shi Ling glanced at the two of them and saw that they were both looking down at their phones. He ruthlessly grabbed the upside-down ghost and threw him aside. He took out Chu Jiao's address book and glared at him, threatening to report him.
The upside-down ghost was as quiet as a chicken, standing still, letting the elevator go up and gradually disappear from Shi Ling's sight.
Gu Xiuji asked Shi Ling curiously, "I heard that the number thirteen is considered unlucky abroad. You grew up abroad and are a metaphysical practitioner, so aren't you averse to such things?"
Shi Ling was confused: "Huh? Unlucky? I thought the fourteenth floor was even more unlucky."
Yu Chen chuckled softly, "That's true."
Just then, the elevator stopped at the fourteenth floor. We had arrived at Gu Xiuji's house.
Gu Xiuji: “…”
Shi Ling comforted him, "It's okay, Teacher Gu, call me if there's a ghost."
Gu Xiuji: "Okay."
Yu Chen clutched his phone tightly. Gu Xiuji lived upstairs in Shiling Tower. This wasn't a coincidence; it was clearly intentional! He was a perverted stalker!
Gu Xiuji brought the two of them into the house and took a pair of pink bunny slippers from the shoe rack for Shi Ling and put them on the ground.
She likes to wear these slippers the most.
However, Yu Chen put on the shoes expressionlessly, "Thank you, Teacher Gu."
Gu Xiuji's face was slightly chapped, and he looked up at him with a slightly sharp look, "Student Yu Chen, don't wear shoes that don't fit."
This pair of shoes is relatively loose and comfortable when worn by Shi Ling, just right, but a bit tight when worn by Yu Chen.
He squeezed in expressionlessly, his heels almost touching the edge of his shoes, and lied with his eyes open, "Just right."
Shi Ling took a pair of her favorite slippers from the shoe rack and put them on. Then she looked at Yu Chen in surprise, "I didn't expect you to be this kind of Yu Chen!"
The frail Sleeping Beauty who looks cold and indifferent actually has a girlish heart that loves pink and rabbits?
Yu Chen: “…”
Gu Xiuji sneered. (End of this chapter)
