Luo Shaoxuan turned his head in surprise and looked at Han Lingxi, who was slowly appearing beside him.
"Ding! Affection +5, Total Affection 90."
Hearing the system notification, Han Lingxi blinked in confusion. What was the principle behind this? Absence makes the heart grow fonder?
"Xi'er, you're back."
Luo Shaoxuan looked at Han Lingxi with a smile in his eyes. No one knew how worried he was about Han Lingxi's sudden disappearance. He had lost her before, but he was calm at that time because he had known since childhood that Han Lingxi was physically weak and would leave one day. All he could do was make her happier while she was alive.
When he saw Han Lingxi again, the joy of having her back filled his heart. He had only spent a few days with her, but he felt truly happy. When he called her name but heard no response, he knew he could not bear to lose her again.
Luo Shaoxuan wanted to find her, but discovered that he knew nothing about her world. In the days Han Lingxi was away, Luo Shaoxuan thought a lot. If she came back, he must not let her leave again. If she came back, he must find out where to find her and understand everything about her. If she came back…
All of this is based on the premise that Han Lingxi will come back, but Luo Shaoxuan dares not think about what he would do if she never came back.
When Han Lingxi stood gracefully in front of Luo Shaoxuan, he realized he didn't want to ask anything anymore. He just wanted her back, and all he could say was, "You're back."
"I left in such a hurry the other day that I didn't have time to tell you. You're not angry, are you?"
Han Lingxi stared at his expression. Although it wasn't her fault that she was suddenly taken away, it was indeed her fault for making Luo Shaoxuan worry about her sudden disappearance.
"No, where did you go?"
Luo Shaoxuan asked casually, but he was actually very nervous about Han Lingxi's answer, worried that Han Lingxi only came to the Luo residence occasionally and might not come again one day.
"I'm a ghost, of course I should go to the underworld. If ghosts just wander around the human world, what kind of world would it be?"
Han Lingxi was relieved to hear that Luo Shaoxuan wasn't angry, and didn't notice his nervousness.
After hearing Han Lingxi's words, Luo Shaoxuan subconsciously clenched the letter in his hand, crumpling it up without caring at all.
"So, when are you going back?"
Luo Shaoxuan seemed to be just chatting casually, so Han Lingxi didn't think much of it and answered truthfully.
"I don't need to go back anytime soon."
Luo Shaoxuan wasn't reassured by Han Lingxi's answer. If she wouldn't go back now, what about later? Luo Shaoxuan wanted to ask Han Lingxi how she could never have to go back again, but ultimately remained silent. She was a ghost; he didn't know if she would be harmed if she stayed in the human world, and he had no right to make her stay. All he could do was cherish the time she spent with him.
Han Lingxi was very happy living in the Luo Mansion. She no longer had to worry about being punished, and Po Yi would protect her when she used magic. So, Han Lingxi could be said to have a lot of fun.
Han Lingxi suddenly understood why ghosts left in the human world liked to scare people in the middle of the night. It was simply because they were too bored. Ghosts need to sleep, and spending the long night in a daze would be too painful. It was normal for them to find some amusement.
Looking at the scene before her, Han Lingxi couldn't help but swallow hard, wondering if she had gone too far.
