Shu Wen led the two of them out of the woods and slowly returned to the path they came from.
The street outside was as quiet as ever. There were many discarded tools piled up in the abandoned factories on both sides of the street. The ground and houses were covered in dust, as if no one had been there for a long time.
"Finally out." Liang Yubai breathed a sigh of relief as he left the woods. "I want to go back and rest for a while. We can talk later if there's anything else."
"Remember to take your medicine." Yu Yao helped her out, "Get well first."
Liang Yubai responded and glanced at Shu Wen beside him. "Then what about her? The illegal human-ghost trade that Miss Shu Wen mentioned actually exists. It's voluntary on both sides, and it doesn't affect each other. There's actually no problem with each getting what they need. However, there are very few examples. My family has very strict requirements in this regard and will not easily agree to such a special case."
"Does it matter if the person being possessed is willing?" Yu Yao wondered.
"Because there's a possibility that the ghost could trick the original owner into giving up their body, they don't allow this kind of thing. I'm fine, if Miss Shu Wen is telling the truth, I can pretend I don't know anything, but Xiao Hei, who's coming soon..." Liang Yubai's shoulders slumped slightly at this point, "I have to find a way to keep this a secret from her."
Yu Yao next to her was eager to try, "You can tell her that you have solved it."
"She's suspicious and hard to trust completely."
"Then divert her attention and let her forget about it."
"How do I transfer?"
"Use another ghost."
Liang Yubai was silent for a moment, as if thinking, and then muttered to himself, "In this entire area, the biggest ghost that could attract her attention should be the one from Ye Laihe... But she just... maybe she succeeded in her revenge the night before last. I wonder if she's still around."
Muttering this, Liang Yubai nodded, "If she were still here, there might be a way."
Liang Yubai turned and glanced at Shu Wen. "But you must not appear in front of her again in the short term, and don't go out and hang around. You will definitely be discovered."
Shu Wen said "oh" lightly without much reaction.
"Absolutely, don't come out casually." Liang Yubai couldn't help but frown and reminded again and again.
Shu Wencai nodded, "I understand."
Liang Yubai turned around and dragged his heavy body back, just wanting to go back and rest quickly.
Yu Yao sent Liang Yubai back to her residence according to the address she gave her, and also gave her some antipyretic medicine. After settling her down, she left with Shu Wen.
"Liang Yubai said you shouldn't go out recently. You really should not go out. If anything happens, I can come to see you." Yu Yao stood on the street and gave Shu Wen some final instructions.
Shu Wen listened silently, as if thinking about something. "Don't you find it strange?"
"What's strange?" Yu Yao was confused for a second, and suddenly realized that Shu Wen was talking about her identity, and immediately became at a loss.
"Actually... you're probably the soul that lived inside the doll that I mistook for a human, right?" Yu Yao scratched her head. "I thought it was the doll speaking, but it was actually the soul that was possessing the doll."
"It was a huge blow at the time, but when I decided to go back and look for you, I realized you might have already left the doll, but the doll itself was still there. I tried to speak through the window, but found it was just an ordinary doll that couldn't speak."
"I was quite confused, but I didn't think about it that way. Later, when you possessed a human body and came to find me, I didn't realize it at all. It wasn't until I heard Liang Yubai talk about various things recently that I slowly connected the dots."
As she spoke, Yu Yao raised her eyes and glanced at Shu Wen. "After you possessed me, you came to be my friend. Are you trying to make up for the sadness I felt at that time?"
Shu Wen curled his lips, "That's right. It took some effort to find you. You really stayed at home and never went out before. It wasn't easy to find you."
"If possible, I really hope you won't know my true identity for the rest of your life."
Yu Yao smiled, her expression excited. "Actually, now that I think about it, I have a lot of friends that ordinary people don't have. There are friends who can talk to objects, friends who are ghosts, and even human friends like Liang Yubai. I'm already very satisfied."
"Besides, I've found a lover! My mood has changed a bit. I feel like, Shu Wen, no matter who you are, it doesn't matter to me anymore." Yu Yao excitedly reached out and patted Shu Wen's shoulder. "After all, you are my only intermediary. Without you, I wouldn't have a job, and I wouldn't have met Doctor Bai!"
When Bai Fang was mentioned, Shu Wen smiled silently.
Bai Fang's initial purpose was just to introduce her to a friend with whom she could chat, and of course a psychologist would be best. Who would have thought that the two of them would become lovers as time went by.
However, if Yu Yao likes her, she can also hand Yu Yao over to Bai Fang smoothly.
"Where did your Doctor Bai go? I remember she seemed to go to the village with you, but left halfway?" Shu Wen asked.
"Well, I asked her to go out and find someone. At that time, I thought we were in danger..." Yu Yao silently took out her cell phone, "Then my phone ran out of battery, so I had to quickly ask where she was now."
Shu Wen handed over his phone and said, "Ask her. I didn't see her in the woods when I came here. She must have gotten out safely yesterday."
Yu Yao took the phone, skillfully dialed Bai Fang's number, then put it to her ear and waited for the message.
The phone rang for a long time before it was connected, and Bai Fang's hesitant voice came from the other end.
"Shu Wen?"
She obviously didn't expect Shu Wen to call her and was very uneasy.
"It's me!" Yu Yao shouted excitedly upon hearing Bai Fang's voice, "Doctor Bai, where are you?"
"Did you come out of the woods? Are you okay?"
"Yeah." Yu Yao nodded and planned to go to Bai Fang.
"Why are you calling me from Shu Wen's phone... How are things between you and her now?" Bai Fang lowered his voice and asked softly.
"This is a long story, but we have sent Liang Yubai back. Also, I have a piece of news for you. Don't be surprised. Shu Wen is actually the female ghost that Liang Yubai mentioned." Yu Yao spoke mysteriously to Bai Fang, expecting him to be shocked, but the response from the other side seemed very cold.
"Oh, I see." Bai Fang breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm glad you're all okay."
"Then, what should we do with this person who came to Liang Yubai? Should we still take him with us?"
Yu Yao paused and became nervous, "Is she here already?"
"Here I come."
"Where are you now?"
"I just got her. I was planning on taking her to the woods. Now that you're all clear, why don't you take her to my place?"
"Okay, okay, okay." Yu Yao nodded, "Don't let her wander around. Let her stay at your place first. If anything happens, we can talk to her after Liang Yubai wakes up! Don't let her wander around!"
"Yeah." Bai Fang responded, and the other end breathed a sigh of relief. "You should come back soon too. You've been staying in that village all night. I don't know how you're doing."
"It's very bad!" Yu Yao felt aggrieved when she mentioned this. She muttered to Bai Fang about what happened last night and expressed how tired and sleepy she was. Her voice was full of coquettishness as if she was begging for comfort.
"Then come back quickly! I'll boil some hot water for you, so you can take a good shower and rest. Come back soon."
"Okay, I'll be right back!"
"I'll prepare something for you. You must be very hungry. What do you want to eat?"
"I like everything Dr. Bai makes!"
Yu Yao stood on the side of the road holding Shu Wen's phone, chatting happily with Bai Fang. Shu Wen stood silently aside. Even though Bai Fang was not there, she still felt like a light bulb.
"Are you two done yet?" After listening to their sweet nothings for a long time, seeing that Yu Yao had no intention of hanging up, Shu Wen couldn't help but urge her, "If you want to talk, go back home tonight and chat slowly. Don't hold on to my phone."
"I know, I know." Yu Yao immediately responded softly and said goodbye to Bai Fang on the other end of the phone. "I'll come find you later. I'll be right back."
"I'll wait for you, come back soon."
After saying the last sentence, Yu Yao hung up the phone and returned the phone to Shu Wen obediently. She couldn't control herself when chatting with Dr. Bai. She stood there holding Shu Wen's phone and muttered for a long time. Now after putting the phone down, she felt a little embarrassed and stood there with red cheeks.
"It seems like your relationship has really gotten better." Shu Wen took the phone back and stared thoughtfully at Yu Yao's slightly shy expression. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't forget my contribution when you're in love. I'm your matchmaker! You owe me a favor."
Yu Yao nodded vigorously, "Yes, I still owe Shu Wen a lot! So before I pay it back, don't run away or get caught by the exorcist."
Shu Wen nodded. "Then I'll go back first. I need to go out less recently. The new exorcist hasn't seen me before, so it won't be easy for her to find me. You guys can handle the matter of perfunctory her. Call me if you need my help."
"Okay!" Yu Yao responded and glanced at the intersection. She already wanted to go back quickly to rest and then meet Bai Fang.
Seeing her absent-minded look, Shu Wen didn't know what to say. He reached out to hold Yu Yao's body and hugged her, sighing helplessly.
"I've been so nervous the whole time, worried that once you knew my true identity you would run away like you did at the window before."
"If I were still a human, I would definitely be your best friend... Maybe there are many other possibilities, but I know for sure that I would have died a long time ago."
Yu Yao was hugged in a daze. She rubbed her head and nodded in confusion, "Shu Wen will always be my best friend."
