Chapter 54 Catching Ghosts
Inside the car, Xu Yucheng was holding a driver's license in his hand, staring at the photo on it. The young man had deep and handsome features, slightly raised eyebrows, and a hint of unruly. However, his expression was a little too serious, giving people a feeling of coldness and alienation.
He smiled and said to the person next to him, "Zhou Zhou, why do you have such a stern face? You look so beautiful when you smile."
Zhou Yichen looked at the road ahead and raised his eyebrows. "Chengcheng asked me to smile in front of a camera."
This seemed to make some sense. Xu Yucheng reacted and said in time, "Shouldn't you smile in front of the camera? Leave your best self."
Zhou Yichen used his free hand to touch her soft hair and smiled, "Just smile to Chengcheng alone."
Her little face turned red again.
After a pause, he raised his lips and said, "I will learn to drive after the college entrance examination."
"From now on, if Zhou Zhou is tired, I will pick you up from get off work."
Zhou Yichen chuckled softly from his throat, "Okay."
Perhaps the most beautiful form of love is that you include me in your future plans, and I also include you in my plans.
Xu Yucheng looked at the road ahead and asked, "Where are we going to play?"
"Jianghuai City."
"Is it in Linshi?"
"Yeah." He explained, "My mom lived there when she was little. She said there's an ocean there, so she wanted to take you there to play."
"ocean!"
Zhou Yichen curled the corners of his mouth, knowing that she would like it.
Xu Yucheng was a little excited. Oh my! Just thinking about it made her look forward to it.
Then he thought of something, "Zhou Zhou, please teach me how to swim."
He paused, "Why do you suddenly want to learn how to swim?"
"Everyone can do it. Besides, swimming should be cool in the summer."
Zhou Yichen agreed with a smile.
Xu Yucheng was worried that he would be bored while driving, so she kept trying to find topics to talk about, and the two of them chatted intermittently.
However, after resting for a while, there was no response from the person next to him. Zhou Yichen turned his head and saw that the person had fallen asleep leaning against him, and the sound of even breathing could be heard.
His brows softened and he slowed down the car. While looking at the road ahead, he kept an eye on the people around him, afraid that she would hit her head.
——
When Xu Yucheng woke up again, she was lying on the soft big bed.
She rubbed her blurry eyes and looked around. It seemed that she was in a hotel.
She put on her slippers and walked out of the room, ready to look for Zhou Zhou. She was a little surprised when she saw the scene in front of her.
Is this a hotel?? The whole house is almost as big as my home, with a very wide view, a large floor-to-ceiling window in the front, and all the facilities are complete.
Xu Yucheng didn't see anyone, so she walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and saw the blue sea not far away. There was surprise on her little face and her eyes were sparkling.
There was a sound in the stairwell, and she immediately turned around happily and trotted over, saying in a crisp voice, "Zhou Zhou!"
Zhou Yichen went upstairs with food in her hands. Seeing the little girl running towards her, she freed one hand to support her and said in a doting tone, "Slow down."
"Come and have something to eat, I'll take you out to play later."
Xu Yucheng followed behind him.
While eating, Zhou Yichen said to her, "I'll take you clothes shopping."
Her mouth was full, and she mumbled, "No need to buy anything, I brought everything."
"Don't you want to learn how to swim?"
Xu Yucheng swallowed a mouthful. Yes, you need a swimsuit to swim. She smiled and replied, "Okay."
After she finished packing and went downstairs, she saw an indoor swimming pool on the first floor.
Instead of driving, the two walked out together.
Zhou Yichen hailed a taxi on the side of the road and told the place he wanted to go.
"Zhou Zhou, do you know this place?" Seeing him call out the name so skillfully.
"I checked ahead of time."
Xu Yucheng took his hand and shook it, feeling warm in her heart. Every time she went out with Zhou Zhou, she didn't have to worry about any problems because he would solve them.
She took out her cell phone to check if there was anything fun to do nearby.
The two went to the mall to buy clothes first and found a swimsuit store.
Xu Yucheng still remembers the last time she went to buy it with Zheng Yu and the others. Zhou Zhou hadn't woken up yet.
Zhou Yichen walked into the store with his long legs, which made him very eye-catching. All the shop assistants inside were girls, and their eyes were all glued to this handsome man.
But there was a pretty girl beside him. The boy was tall and slender, and the girl was delicate and well-behaved. The handsome man and beautiful girl were very eye-catching.
But most girls like handsome men, so the three female shop assistants in the store surrounded him and asked him what he wanted.
Maybe it’s because there are not many boys coming to swimwear shops.
Before Zhou Yichen could make any move, Xu Yucheng held his hand tightly, turned her little face to look at the three shop assistants opposite, her eyes meaningful.
But the three shop assistants still stared at the man, their eyes sparkling. One of them spoke, his voice a little shaky, "Hello, how can I help you?"
Zhou Yichen ignored her and looked at the little girl who was holding his hand tightly, with a smile on his face.
Xu Yucheng glared at him with a serious face, and pulled the person past.
The three shop assistants were discussing in the back.
She pulled his hand down, stood on tiptoe and leaned close to his ear, saying in a fierce voice, "Zhou Zhou, you're still laughing! Hurry up and finish shopping so we can leave."
Zhou Yichen bent down and kissed her on the lips.
It was just facing those shop assistants.
Xu Yucheng didn't expect him to come up to her suddenly, and was stunned for a moment without reacting.
Until I heard the shop assistant say, "He's so handsome and loves to spoil his girlfriend!"
Her ears couldn't help but turn red.
Zhou Yichen held her hand and said softly, "Chengcheng, go choose."
Xu Yucheng lowered her head and said "Oh", then moved her feet and picked up one item from the rows of hanging items very casually, so casually that she only saw the color.
Then a teasing voice came, "Chengcheng, are you sure you want this?"
"Yeah, yeah, let's go."
She urged, and just then the clerk came over and took the swimsuit from her hand, and glanced at Zhou Yichen again.
After packing, Zhou Yichen took the bag and walked out with the person.
After walking out the door, Xu Yucheng heard the words "so handsome".
After taking a few steps, she stopped.
Zhou Yichen also stopped beside her, "What happened to Chengcheng?"
She looked up at his face and said seriously, "Zhou Zhou, try not to smile in front of outsiders. Don't you know it will be very seductive?"
He laughed out loud at her amusing behavior.
"You're still laughing!"
Looking at her angry face, Zhou Yichen pinched it and said, "Stop laughing."
The little girl then took his hand and continued walking.
The two of them came to a busy street with people coming and going. They felt very hot after walking a few steps.
It was too crowded, so Zhou Yichen protected the people around him all the way.
Xu Yucheng felt that there was nothing interesting to see. She caught a glimpse of a shady alley ahead and said, "Zhou Zhou, let's go rest for a while before we go on."
"good."
After arriving at the alley, it was indeed much cooler. Seeing groups of people walking in, talking about catching ghosts, Xu Yucheng became interested and followed them unconsciously.
Zhou Yichen was left standing there alone. He raised his eyebrows, thinking that the little girl had forgotten about him.
Xu Yucheng followed behind those people, listening to what they said, and joined in without knowing when.
He was still surprised, "So scary!?"
The middle-aged men didn't expect that there was suddenly a girl next to them, but they responded to her.
"Yes, the owner of that house has been away working for a long time and hasn't been back. I heard it was haunted last night, so the neighbors invited a Taoist priest to perform a ritual and asked us to help."
Xu Yucheng was a little scared, but still wanted to see what it was like to catch ghosts.
Maybe this is what it means to be both timid and love to watch.
When I reached almost the end of the alley, I saw a house that looked a bit like a farmhouse, and the walls were a bit shabby.
There were more than ten people gathered around. Xu Yucheng saw a man in the middle wearing a yellow robe, dressed like a Taoist priest, and with a big beard, just like the one she saw on TV.
There was a table in the middle with an incense burner on it and candles on both sides. The Taoist priest was closing his eyes, putting his index fingers together, and muttering something in his mouth.
Xu Yucheng followed the crowd, staring without blinking.
Suddenly the Taoist priest opened his eyes, looked around, and said quietly, "Five people come here."
"Just a few of you." The Taoist pointed at Xu Yucheng and the men beside her.
Everyone looked at them, and when they saw Xu Yucheng standing next to them, surprise flashed across their faces.
Xu Yucheng pointed at herself uncertainly.
"It's you."
The Taoist priest was a little anxious and urged.
A middle-aged woman came to Xu Yucheng and pulled her arm towards the middle. "Little sister, please help me."
In this way, Xu Yucheng and four men were arranged around the table, each holding a yellow talisman in his hand.
"Watch carefully and hold the talisman in your hand." The Taoist raised his chin and blew his beard, as if to express how powerful he was.
Xu Yucheng was standing next to the Taoist priest. She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she seemed to see that the Taoist priest's beard was crooked and a little curled up.
The weather was too hot and the sun was shining directly on her. She was still holding the yellow talisman in her hand. Just as she was about to raise her hand to block the sun, she saw that several of her fingers were yellow.
This is, faded???
