The correct way to wash a female ghost's hair
“Come on, let’s sit here and talk.” Xu Jiu sat down where she and Nan Yehe had their first conversation and patted the seat next to her.
Nan Yehe slowly sat down, now seriously suspecting that Xu Jiu's exposure of his true nature was all planned.
"Don't look at me like that, I didn't want to either." Xu Jiu spread his hands, somewhat helplessly. "The investigation is progressing too slowly right now. What if you give up if I don't take some risks?"
hehe.
Nan Yehe sneered inwardly for the third time.
"What exactly do you want?" She really didn't understand why Xu Jiu was going to such lengths.
“Anyway, it’s not your life.” Xu Jiu laughed, but there seemed to be no real smile in his eyes.
She wouldn't hurt Nan Yehe, because if anything happened to Nan Yehe, the policeman would associate it with her. Whether for her own soul or her body, doing so would be extremely risky.
And there's no point in it; she won't get anything out of it.
"Does that mean I can see you out?" Nan Yehe asked indifferently, as if she had figured things out and didn't care about Xu Jiu's attitude.
Therefore, proper disguise is still very useful, at least for Nan Yehe, it can save a lot of communication.
"My words are quite credible." Xu Jiu leaned forward, putting on a sincere expression.
Credibility?
Nan Yehe raised an eyebrow. "Only those who have told lies would raise questions about credibility."
If everything is true, why is there any doubt about that part?
“As you know, you can never say everything.” Xu Jiu looked into Nan Yehe’s eyes. “It’s true that I’ve lost some of my memories, it’s true that I don’t have many celebrity friends, and it’s also true that I can’t be too far away from you.”
"But there are some things I can't say right now, but that doesn't mean I'm deceiving you."
She seemed very sincere, but what did it matter to her what she was saying? Nan Yehe's expression remained indifferent.
Why aren't we following the script? Xu Jiu was a little puzzled when he saw that Nan Yehe's expression hadn't changed.
Logically speaking, things should have reached a point where things have been said enough.
Has Nan Yehe already physically blocked her?
Xu Jiu was caught in a moment of self-doubt for half a second.
"Now can you answer my first question? What do you want?" Nan Yehe's attitude was very direct; if he didn't tell her, she wouldn't cooperate.
"Of course I want to come back to life." Xu Jiu's face showed seven parts disbelief and three parts disgust. "Do you expect me to help you catch vengeful ghosts and save the world?"
Oh, Nan Yehe seemed to ponder the next thing for another five seconds before continuing, "So you know how you can come back to life? Just find the murderer?"
Xu Jiu shook his head and said, "I'm not sure, but this is the most likely way. Otherwise, how do you explain this kind of supernatural phenomenon? Shouldn't earthbound spirits all be seeking revenge?"
There's no definitive answer yet.
"So here's the question," Nan Yehe looked at her with a half-smile, "Why should I help you?"
He seems to be still conscious.
Xu Jiu tapped his head with his fingers as if he had a headache, his tone so gentle it seemed to seep into Nan Yehe's bones.
"Then I'll take you to experience sleep paralysis every night, shaking you awake when you're sound asleep, and then in the morning..."
She rose gracefully, opened a bottle of wine in the cabinet, took a sip, then floated back to Nan Yehe's side and put her arm around her neck.
Nan Yehe thought she was going to use the same trick again, and since the smell of alcohol hadn't dissipated, she was about to push her away in disgust, but she was a step too late. Xu Jiu suddenly leaned in and gently put the wine she hadn't drunk into her own mouth.
Cool, soft lips pressed against mine, the other person's eyes filled with a teasing smile, as if making a rather unkind joke.
The scent of wine lingered on her lips and teeth, a blend of rose and peach aromas that tantalized her taste buds. The sweetness was tinged with a slight astringency, not intoxicating, but enough to make one succumb.
Nan Yehe looked at her in surprise. Xu Jiu's face was still as pale as before—after all, that was her condition—but a layer of misty water rose in her eyes, which was a bit strange, yet very beautiful.
Xu Jiu's grip on Nan Yehe's clothes tightened, but before the other could catch her breath, she released her grip and gently wiped the wine stains from her lips with her arm.
"In the morning, like this, you go to work smelling of alcohol."
Let's see how you'll avoid social engagements in the future.
Xu Jiu smiled and noticed that Nan Yehe remained silent.
Um?
Xu Jiu waved his right hand in front of Nan Yehe's eyes.
The other party still did not make a move.
Because Nan Yehe was completely bewildered.
Hmm, the results seem to have exceeded expectations.
Xu Jiu calculated that her behavior was more excessive than normal playful fighting between women, so that it would achieve the desired effect.
However, she didn't know much about Nan Yehe.
For safety reasons, Nan Yehe has been particularly cautious about kissing since she was a child. She even thought about how to avoid being kissed by her parents and relatives. The "Ten Secrets on How to Outsmart Foolish Adults" circulating among children originated from her.
Simply put, as long as it's safe and healthy, she can accept anything that seems a little silly, after all, she's a health enthusiast and needs to learn to be calm and peaceful.
So she didn't react to Xu Jiu's kiss. Who would care if a ghost could infect them with germs?
But things are different now. Nan Yehe cannot define the meaning of Xu Jiu's kiss. Excluding the virus factor, she cannot find a way to analyze her own countermeasures.
What should we do?
Nan Yehe began a brainstorming session.
Of course, if other people knew her thoughts, the list of bizarre people would probably be refreshed again.
Xu Jiu didn't understand Nan Yehe's reaction, but the other party's questioning did stop, giving her enough time to change her plan.
However, to her surprise, the effect was not only powerful, but also lasted for quite a long time.
Nan Yehe didn't say a word until the meal was finished and the dishes were cleared away.
Too much effectiveness can also be a bit of a nuisance.
Xu Jiu was clearly someone who went on a tirade of sarcastic remarks after getting the advantage.
She figured Nan Yehe would need a while to recover, and was lying on the sofa thinking when she felt a shadow appear beside her. The health-conscious person she had teased had walked up to her.
Xu Jiu tilted his head, wanting to see her response.
Nan Yehe's expression was unusually conflicted, but her words were very direct.
"You'd better finish the wine you opened; it doesn't keep well."
Um? ?
Xu Jiu seemed to have completely forgotten about this.
Nan Yehe's expression turned serious and indifferent. "It tastes even better when opened and drunk immediately."
Xu Jiu couldn't quite manage a smile.
“But I don’t really feel like drinking right now. How about this, I’ll buy you a bottle?” Xu Jiu looked into her eyes, trying to see if there was any hint of a joke in them.
Nan Yehe sneered, "How will you compensate me? With Alipay? That was a gift from a relative; it can't be measured in money."
I've never seen you so attentive to your relatives at other times!
Xu Jiu despised this childish rebuttal.
But she did open the bottle, so she should finish it. However, Nan Yehe shouldn't just sit back and watch her drink.
"So, will you agree to help me?"
Nan Yehe nodded. It didn't really matter to her; going out more often was good for her health.
The key point is that she must find a way to control the woman in front of her; she's just... too arrogant.
"Okay." Xu Jiu agreed readily. She took the wine from the table, but at the same time, she also took two wine glasses.
Nan Yehe looked at the two cups in her hand, took a step back, and used her body to express her refusal.
Drinking alcohol is truly harmful.
This is a profound lesson she has recently learned.
"Don't be so quick to refuse." Xu Jiu poured some wine into each of the two cups, picked one up, and looked at Nan Yehe. "Didn't you tell me not to hide anything? Fine, just drink with me."
Nan Yehe quickly shook her head, "Whether you hide it or not is your business, it has nothing to do with me."
“Really?” Xu Jiu smiled, his eyes unblinking. “But I think you might be a little interested, after all, it’s also related to your ‘very close relatives’…”
Nan Yehe knew this was actually a good after-dinner activity, but to get her to drink alcohol, she would need to pay a more interesting price.
“Then you’d better tell me at least three things,” Nan Yehe said, extending her hand. “First, your profession; second, your friends; third, that birthday.”
All three questions she asked were originally posed by Li Jiangui.
There's no need to ask what his name is; whether it's a lie or the truth remains to be verified.
Xu Jiu shrugged, his attitude somewhat indifferent.
Without further ado, Nan Yehe took the wine cup and drank it first.
"Drinking without even asking me is a bit reckless," Xu Jiu laughed.
“No,” Nan Yehe said calmly, “I’m testing how many more minutes I can still trust you.”
Xu Jiu drank his wine, shook his head and chuckled, "I'm a good person, of course you can trust me."
"The first question, right? My job is very simple. I work in the public relations department of a media company. Apart from being more observant of people, there's nothing special about it."
How could the people in the public relations department not be special? Nan Yehe was somewhat surprised by her work.
Leaving aside other companies, this was a media company; you can imagine their workload.
“That policeman definitely has my information. The way he looked at me that day was exactly the same as yours.” Xu Jiu poured the two of them another drink. “But I’m not that capable. I’m just a figurehead, a young man who seems to have a decent attitude through connections.”
"I've learned something." Nan Yehe looked at her and drank her second glass of wine. "I'll say that to others next time too."
Realizing she was being sarcastic, Xu Jiu calmly raised his cup.
"So you can understand that although I have the most contact with celebrities, I actually have very few celebrity friends."
"Then why do you insist on suspecting them?" Nan Yehe asked.
Xu Jiu poured her a third glass of wine and said, "This is the third question."
Just as Nan Yehe was about to drink, Xu Jiu suddenly raised his glass to her, "You haven't finished your toast yet? Give that poor birthday boy a blessing!"
"Is it you?" Nan Yehe asked suspiciously as he drank.
Xu Jiu shook his head. "Of course it wasn't me, but I really can't remember who it was. I can only remember the excitement I felt at the time."
What could possibly make a scheming girl care this much?
Nan Yehe scoffed, "Don't tell me this is a birthday celebration for your enemy."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Jiu suddenly stared at her intently.
That's a great idea.
She could indeed do something like that—celebrate her enemy's birthday.
"Should I put a special light bulb on your head for a little rascal?" Nan Yehe said casually.
Xu Jiu raised his eyebrows and began to smile, then drank the third cup of wine in one gulp.
