Chapter 213
Qin Su saw news about Han Bonan again during a live stream.
The person who was selected in the live stream was a young woman. She said that strange things had happened in her family. She and her parents had been having the same dream recently, in which her grandfather, who had passed away several years ago, threw money at them.
The live stream chat was filled with jokes and banter.
This is a dream. In reality, if someone showered me with money, I'd be ecstatic.
Is the whole family under too much pressure to earn money?
According to Zhou Gong's interpretation of dreams, this means you're about to become wealthy.
Actually, this dream is quite nice; it's a pleasant dream, so there's no need to resolve it.
The girl who was chosen said bitterly, "If this were real money, it would certainly be a beautiful dream, but in the dream, the grandfather was throwing away paper money."
Who could stand being bombarded with ghost money every night?
The comments section immediately shifted, offering a wave of sympathy.
Some people asked if the elderly woman had any unfulfilled wishes, or if her family had done something to upset her.
The girl firmly stated, "Absolutely not. In our local dialect, my grandfather's passing was considered a happy one. He died of old age naturally, without any disasters or suffering. Our family has a very harmonious relationship, and we have never done anything unfilial."
This seems a bit strange.
Qin Su thought for a moment and suddenly remembered the time she accompanied Qin Lide to buy incense, candles and paper money in the market.
What do you burn for your elders every year when you sweep their graves? Ghost money?
The girl was taken aback by the question and said, "I don't know either, let me ask."
If you have a problem, don't hesitate to ask your mother; you can't go wrong.
She was at home, and she opened her bedroom door and called out, "Mom—what do we burn for Grandpa's grave every year?"
A moment later, the girl returned to the live stream and replied, "It's burnt paper money."
Qin Su understood.
She calmly said, "It's nothing serious. Go back and burn some gold and silver ingots for the elderly with your parents. Don't burn any more ghost money."
The girl asked, puzzled, "Why?"
Qin Su said half-jokingly, "It's probably because the paper money in the underworld has become inflated, so they only recognize gold and silver."
The girl was amused and said, "The host is so funny, I'll try it when I get back."
She was trying anything, but unexpectedly, after burning gold ingots with her parents, her grandfather really didn't appear in her dreams again.
The girl was shocked when she remembered Qin Su's words. Later, she told everyone that the world after death also had an economic system.
Of course, that's a story for another time.
At this point, the live stream ended, and someone in the chat mentioned:
[Remember that lucky draw guy from before? That guy whose real name is Han Bonan, the "phoenix man" (a man from a poor background who achieves success through poverty alleviation), he's been arrested!]
[What? I remember he was some kind of CEO, how come he got arrested so quickly?]
[It's said that his wife had an affair with his assistant, and after the child was born, it looked more and more like the assistant. Fearing that Han Bonan would discover the child wasn't his, the two women stole his money and fled abroad. Han Bonan's company became a shell, burdened with debt. He tried to escape with the remaining money, but failed and was arrested first.]
[That's not all. I heard he could have made a living by selling his houses, cars, and factories, but his wife, fearing retaliation, encouraged him to run away with the money, deliberately luring him into jail.]
Wow, that's a lot of information.
A woman who isn't ruthless won't have a stable position; his wife is a ruthless woman.
[Being ruthless won't help; she and her assistant are now fugitives wanted for economic crimes, and the authorities have already issued a cross-border manhunt notice.]
[This seems to confirm what the streamer said before. The streamer mentioned that his career and life would undergo a major change this year, and that he would never have children. Sure enough, Han Bonan not only became a father unexpectedly, but also went bankrupt and went to jail.]
Qin Su also opened her phone and looked at the news article. She smiled when she saw the portrait in the news article, which was blurred but still recognizable.
The original owner's causal object is reduced by one.
She turned off the live stream and stared blankly at the glass of water that still had half a glass of warm water left.
What the girl in the live stream said made her question the way the world is developing again.
When Qin Su first arrived in this world, based on the original owner's memories and observations, he believed that this world was the end of the Dharma era, meaning that there were still some unscientific things in the human world, such as demons and ghosts, but their numbers were extremely small, and the general human understanding of the world was mostly scientific and materialistic.
When Ye Yan came looking for her as a dragon, she had a bad feeling for the first time.
How should one think about it? A mythical creature like a dragon shouldn't exist in an era of declining Dharma, right?
But Ye Yan, like her, was an outsider and fundamentally did not belong to this world, so he could be considered a bug in the laws of nature.
However, when Chu Er summoned the evil god, he actually summoned Taotie, one of the four ferocious beasts. Even with the enhancement of Emperor's Dew, this was still quite illogical.
Not to mention koi fish suddenly becoming spirits, red-bellied pheasants turning into people chasing after celebrities, and now even ghosts of the dead appearing in dreams asking for offerings.
Qin Su had some vague guesses, but she still needed to find someone to confirm them.
She wanted to discuss something with Ye Yan, so she looked up to call him, but Ye Yan ran over before she could speak.
He looked excited, as if he had discovered something amazing: "SuSu, let me show you a magic trick!"
Qin Su swallowed what she was about to say and raised an eyebrow with interest: "Okay, you can transform."
She caught a glimpse of Ye Yan's carelessly tossed phone not far away and guessed that he might have been looking at something new online.
Ye Yan said, "Then close your eyes first."
Qin Su closed her eyes as instructed.
She felt her water glass being snatched from her hand, and at the same time she heard Ye Yan bring something over, as well as the sounds of drawing the curtains, opening and closing the curtains, and the rustling of fabric.
This process lasted for about one or two minutes. Ye Yan seemed to be ready and coughed, "Alright, you can open your eyes now."
Qin Su sensed a subtle embarrassment in his voice, which made her even more curious.
She lifted her long eyelashes.
Ye Yan raised his hand at the precise moment.
With a "whoosh," the half-finished glass of water that Qin Su had just drunk was spilled all over himself.
Qin Su: "..."
The curtains were drawn, and the dimly lit room was illuminated only by the nearby fill light, which cast a pale blue glow over Ye Yan's handsome features and tall stature.
He stood a step away from her, head slightly lowered, ears red as he bit the hem of his t-shirt, revealing his well-defined upper body. Warm water was splashed on him, flowing down his lean waist and abdomen, the grooves rising and falling with his tense breathing.
This scene is undeniably alluring and visually appealing, but isn't it a bit too contrived? People usually aim for a natural, unintentional seduction, right?
When Qin Su met Ye Yan's puppy-like expectant gaze, she swallowed the words she originally wanted to say, "Is this the magic trick you're going to perform?" and instead read aloud, "Yes, very good!"
She also clapped twice as a symbolic gesture.
Ye Yan looked at her expectantly: "I see people calling each other 'husband' under those videos online."
Qin Su: "..."
All that effort, and the purpose turned out to be so simple.
She immediately hugged Ye Yan's waist and affectionately rubbed against his abs: "Honey~"
We should quickly fulfill his request to prevent him from doing anything else.
Ye Yan, whose intelligence is so unstable, often catches her off guard.
Ye Yan's wish was fulfilled, but he wanted to push his luck.
He said eagerly, "There are some other comments I'd love to hear..."
"Let me see." Qin Su casually took the phone and looked at the comments section he had screenshotted.
...
With a loud thud, Ye Yan and Qin Su's slippers flew off and fell to the ground.
Qin Su stepped barefoot over his chest, leaving behind a cold sound.
"You'll be sleeping on the sofa tonight."
Ye Yan: "..."
