After a moment of stunned silence, Grandma Wu became restless, fearing that accepting the gift would make Meng Po think that Qin Yune was befriending her for something.
What's more, this is Meng Po, after all. How could she possibly accept a gift from Meng Po? If she accepted it, she doubted she would be able to sleep tonight, fearing that the gift would be lost or stolen.
Thinking of this, Grandma Wu quickly declined, saying, "I can't accept this. Since you are Yu Nie's friend, you can come often if you wish, but please don't bring any gifts."
Meng Po was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Don't worry, I will come to bother you often, but please accept this gift, otherwise how can I come so often?"
Upon hearing this, Grandma Wu, whether feeling the box was too hot to handle or something else, simply held it, making the whole ghost feel very uncomfortable.
Qin Yunie saw all of Grandma Wu's actions and guessed what she was thinking. She sighed and said, "Sister Meng, why don't you take it back?"
Although Meng Po was somewhat puzzled, she still took the wooden box back.
After it was taken back, Grandma Wu felt much more relaxed and wasn't as reserved as before. Her mood returned to what it was when she first came back.
On the contrary, the female ghost named Xiao Li pursed her lips after seeing Grandma Wu return the wooden box, as if she wanted to say something, but hesitated and ultimately did not say anything.
At this moment, Qin Yunie glanced at the female ghost beside him, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes, and he vaguely guessed what was going on.
Grandma Wu suddenly smiled and said, "By the way, Yu Nie, a ghost messenger came to inform me that I can be reincarnated next week."
Qin Yunie was surprised by the efficiency of the underworld, which had arranged everything so quickly. She smiled and said, "This is a good thing."
Grandma Wu smiled and said, "Yes."
Meng Po heard her words and could tell that Qin Yune had a good relationship with her grandmother, so she said, "Don't worry, I will take care of your grandmother."
Qin Yunie was overjoyed and quickly said, "Then I'll thank Sister Meng in advance!"
Grandma Wu was somewhat flattered. "Thank you."
Meng Po realized that Qin Yune's grandmother was very uncomfortable with her presence, so she stood up and said, "You must have a lot to say, so I'll go out first."
Qin Yunie also noticed this and nodded, "Then Sister Meng, why don't you go out and wait for me?"
Since Meng Po had already left, the female ghost named Xiao Li wisely said, "Then, Grandma Wu, I'll go out first too."
Qin Yune asked, "Has someone moved into the other bed in this room? I see bedding there."
Grandma Wu: "You mean this? I let Xiao Li stay in this bed. She's been coming over to keep me company a lot lately. There are too many ghosts over there, so I let her stay here. You should have seen her before, right? When you came to see me that day, didn't you just happen to run into her?"
Qin Yunie nodded cryptically, "Yes, I have indeed seen her before, but I never expected it to be her."
Qin Yunie didn't react at first either. After all, the two of them had only met once and hadn't even exchanged a few words. No one would suspect a stranger under such circumstances.
If it weren't for Meng Po's sudden glance, which made her look over and catch a glimpse of the fleeting gloom in her eyes, coupled with her hesitant expression when her grandmother returned the wooden box Meng Po had given her, she would have been filled with suspicion.
Under what circumstances would someone who doesn't know another person very well start to dislike them?
Normally speaking, it's possible that you did something to offend her, or that she has something to hide.
Qin Yunie believed that she had not done anything to offend her that day, so it must be that only she had something on her mind.
She was puzzled for a long time about what happened a few days ago. Anyone who knows about such rumors wouldn't believe them, but some people just like to hear and believe whatever they want.
Although Qin Yunie didn't care much, the fact that she was being taken advantage of while Qin Yunie was away still disgusted her.
She thought about it repeatedly, but couldn't figure out who else she had offended besides Qi San and the others. It wasn't that she had offended anyone, but rather that she had made too much money and made Gui envious.
What she didn't expect was that they had only met once, yet the ghost had already set its sights on them.
She had only been gone a few days, but this female ghost named Xiao Li had already charmed her grandmother so much that she was invited to live with her.
If she had arrived any later, her grandmother might have been coaxed away by her.
The key is how happy Grandma seemed.
Grandma Wu didn't understand the implication in Qin Yune's words and thought she meant she remembered. Worried that Qin Yune might overthink it, she leaned closer to explain, "Don't worry, Xiao Li didn't stay for free. She paid 1,500 yuan to rent this bed."
As she said this, Grandma Wu seemed to think she had gotten a great deal, and the smile on her face never stopped.
Qin Yunie chuckled ambiguously, "You're quite willing to invest."
Upon hearing this, Grandma Wu muttered something strange, "It is indeed a bit strange. When we used to live together in a dormitory with more than 20 people, she always complained that it was too expensive. Now she is willing to spend so much money to rent a bed?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Yune became even more certain that this girl named Xiao Li was suspicious, and casually asked, "She was living comfortably over there, why did she suddenly decide to come and stay here?"
Grandma Wu explained, "Xiao Li said there were too many ghosts over there, and it was too noisy. He said he would pay me to rent the other bed. I thought that since the other bed in this room was empty anyway, renting it out would save you some money, so I agreed."
Qin Yunie didn't show it in front of Grandma Wu, afraid that she would worry, and said with a smile, "It's okay, it's good to have someone to keep you company."
Grandma Wu breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm glad you don't mind."
The two, one human and one ghost, chatted for a while longer. Before leaving, Qin Yune reminded Grandma Wu to remember to eat her boxed lunch, saying she would come to see her again tomorrow.
Qin Yunie opened the door and went out, just in time to see the female ghost named Xiao Li trying to get close to Meng Po.
Meng Po was slowly eating the osmanthus cake box that Meng Po had given her earlier, completely ignoring her.
Hearing the voice, Meng Po slowly turned her head and mumbled, "Finished talking?"
Qin Yunie nodded.
Then Meng Po swallowed the pastry in her mouth, pointed at the female ghost with her finger, and said, "Here, it's up to you. I guess you'd rather handle it yourself."
Qin Yunie's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile, and he responded softly, "Mm."
The female ghost didn't understand the deeper meaning of their words, but she had a vague sense of foreboding, feeling that what they were about to say was not what she wanted to hear.
So she made a quick decision and said, "You must be very busy, so I won't bother you any longer."
With that, he turned and prepared to leave.
However, Qin Yune called out to her, "Don't rush off."
Qin Yunie casually looked the female ghost up and down, his eyes revealing an unfathomable light.
