After we had breakfast, I went to prepare food for Bai Xue, while You Ze cleaned up the mess after the meal.
Xiao Zhang will arrive at 12 o'clock; it's still early.
"Going to buy groceries?" You asked after finishing tidying up.
"Let's go." I stopped teasing Bai Xue and went to change my clothes first.
You went to the bathroom to take a shower, and after showering, she changed into a set of cool clothes.
You's long hair was simply tied in a bun, with her black hair hanging down her back, giving her the feel of an ancient nobleman, but she was wearing a white wool sweater and black trousers.
If someone else wore this outfit, it would definitely look incredibly strange, proving that if you're good-looking, you can wear anything.
"Am I strange?" You noticed that I kept staring at him, so she looked herself over.
"No." I shook my head, took You's hand, and prepared to leave. "Because you're handsome."
When Bai Xue saw that we were about to leave, she circled around my feet, wanting to go out too.
"No, pets aren't allowed in the supermarket." I crouched down and held Snowy's front paws.
Snow White whimpered as if she understood what I said, and quietly went back to her doghouse.
"Snow White is so good."
The supermarket is not far from our residence; it's right near our neighborhood.
We finished grocery shopping in just one hour.
When I got home, it was already past ten o'clock, and Xiao Zhang should be here in a little over an hour.
"I'll go prepare lunch."
"So early?" I had just put the ingredients down.
"The soup needs to be simmered in advance today," You said as she cleaned the duck with water.
Today, You said she's going to stew an old duck head.
"Xiao Zhang will be here soon."
Since learning my lesson last time, I dare not casually suggest that Xiao Zhang eat with us anymore.
Why did I just mention a mealtime? I'm only just realizing it now.
It's going to be awkward since it's lunchtime soon.
"Twelve o'clock?"
"Did you hear that?"
"Um."
You's hearing is really good; I remember I was on the second floor at the time.
"Let's eat later tonight, after Xiao Zhang leaves." To avoid an awkward situation, we had no choice but to reschedule our meal.
"Okay." Fortunately, You agreed.
You was preparing a duck in the kitchen to make soup, while I was playing on my phone in the living room. I've recently become obsessed with a game.
Ah, if only Fan Li, that game addict, were here too, I could play with him.
Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I've seen Fan Li. I didn't see him the last time I went to the Heavenly Court. Could it be that he was... killed when Liu Lieyu first invaded the Heavenly Court?
Ding-dong, the doorbell rang.
Xiao Zhang arrived so quickly?
I checked the time, and it was exactly twelve o'clock. Time flies when you're playing games on your phone.
I was just about to open the door for Xiao Zhang when You opened it for him first.
When Xiao Zhang saw that it was You who opened the door, he was startled. He glanced at You briefly and felt somewhat apprehensive.
I feel that Xiao Zhang is somewhat afraid of You.
Xiao Zhang politely nodded and smiled at You, then turned to look at me, saying, "A living god."
"Stop calling me a living god, change your address." I always feel uncomfortable with this title.
"A fairy maiden?" Xiao Zhang asked tentatively.
Fine, I'm not expecting Xiao Zhang to come up with any good nicknames.
I didn't dwell on the issue of how to address her, but went straight to asking, "How was last night?"
"You're absolutely amazing." Xiao Zhang's smile was full of admiration for me.
I smiled and poured Xiao Zhang a glass of water.
"By the way, Fairy, can you give me your account number? I was thinking of bringing you cash, but then I thought you'd have to deposit it anyway, so I'll just transfer it to you directly, is that okay?"
"Sure." I nodded and quickly tapped the app on my phone to make it easier for Xiao Zhang to transfer the money.
That Zhang kid's got money; he actually gave me 500,000 yuan right away.
"So many?" I looked at the number on my phone with some surprise.
"That's not much," Xiao Zhang said, scratching his head sheepishly.
I looked at Xiao Zhang's somewhat delicate face with great interest. I remembered that the first time I met him, he was an appliance installer, the second time I saw him, he was driving a supercar, and now he was spending 500,000 yuan at a time.
"Actually, my family is quite wealthy." Xiao Zhang scratched the back of his head sheepishly. "Meile Appliances is also one of my dad's businesses."
I see, it turns out he's a rich young master experiencing ordinary life.
"Fairy, will that thing still haunt me?"
"No, it won't. If it came to you yesterday, it would know how powerful this thing is."
Generally, spirits will retreat when they sense the magical power above.
"Has it already been eliminated?"
It's hard to say. If the spirit only scared Xiao Zhang, then the spirit will only be injured. But if it's a very swift attack, then the spirit will definitely die.
My talisman is a kind of countermeasure, reflecting damage back to the spirits based on their attacks.
"uncertain."
"What if it comes looking for me again?" Xiao Zhang's face instantly turned somewhat fearful.
"With this talisman, no evil spirits or monsters can get into your body."
"Oh, I see." Xiao Zhang touched his chest, clearly indicating that he had placed the talisman there.
"Oh, right, there's something else I want to ask you." Xiao Zhang's face became a little anxious. "If you can do this for me, no amount of money will be a problem."
"What's up?"
Is there really money to be made? That's too easy to make money.
"My girlfriend..." Xiao Zhang paused, "My girlfriend has been missing for a long time, and I haven't been able to find her."
"Can't find her?" I was a little surprised. "Have you been to her house?"
Shouldn't you go to the police station to find someone?
Xiao Zhang looked somewhat ashamed. "I don't know where she lives. She's not a local."
Did the police ask?
"I've already reported it to the police, but we still haven't found it."
Couldn't find them?
How are things going between you and your girlfriend?
My girlfriend's disappearance and the haunting spirit of Xiao Zhang—I always felt there was some connection between the two.
“Of course we have a good relationship.” Xiao Zhang’s eyes widened as he spoke, and he even took out his phone to show me photos of him and his girlfriend.
I glanced at You, whose expression was indifferent. When he saw me looking at him, he turned his head and smiled at me.
The girl in the photo is very beautiful and she and Xiao Zhang are a good match.
Have you ever done anything to betray your girlfriend?
"Of course not," Xiao Zhang shook his head. "I love my girlfriend very much, but I've been looking for her for a long time and I still can't find her."
How long has your girlfriend been missing?
"It's been almost a year."
"A year?!"
This is not a short time for humans.
"Did the police say anything?"
“The police don’t know where my girlfriend went either. They thought she had gone back to her hometown, but people from her hometown say she has been away from home for a long time.” Xiao Zhang sighed. “Maybe it’s because I’ve been stressed and anxious lately, and my mental state is not good, that I’m being haunted by evil spirits.”
What Xiao Zhang said is possible, but I always feel that the evil spirit haunting Xiao Zhang is inextricably linked to his girlfriend.
