Chapter 014 What Shen Sangning Remembers
Facing Lin Xi's question, Shen Sang Ning tilted her head, her smile remained unchanged, and her eyes were still filled with clear stupidity. Obviously, Shen Sang Ning didn't understand this matter very well, and didn't even understand why Lin Xi asked this question.
Lin Xi frowned. Seeing Lin Xi frowning, Shen Sang Ning wanted to get closer and pull up her eyebrows. She was eager to try. But Lin Xi just said that she couldn't go over before she finished asking, otherwise she wouldn't hug herself.
Shen Sangning could only suppress her impulsiveness and sit obediently on the sofa.
Lin Xi sat cross-legged opposite her, with his arms crossed in front of his chest, obviously thinking about something. After a while, Lin Xi asked again: "Then do you know who you are?"
This question was not difficult for Shen Sangning at all. She happily answered Lin Xi: "Lin Xi's wife!" She didn't even pause when she said this, and it was obvious that she had already thought about how to answer it in her heart. Maybe before Lin Xi asked it, she had already thought about Lin Xi asking this question, and then simulated how to answer it countless times in her heart.
Shen Sangning's answer was too straightforward and somewhat unrestrained. Lin Xi looked at the big eyeball camera with a guilty conscience. She didn't know if Shen Sangning's parents were watching, or if there would be anyone from Shen Sangning. The live broadcast studio hadn't told her what the live broadcast range was, but at this moment she was definitely afraid that Shen Sangning's parents would see it.
Shen Sangning was confused now, and looked like she had lost her memory. Sitting opposite her and asking questions in an aggressive manner, she looked like a big bad guy.
As a parent, it is hard not to think: This guy is the one who led my daughter astray.
Lin Xi could only pray to God for help, as her parents were not watching. Lin Xi kicked Xin Gui out and asked the next question: "What's your name?"
"Chen, Sang, Ning." This time the answer was a little awkward, but Shen Sang Ning still answered it. Not only did she answer it, she also added a sentence: "Sang Yu Fei Wan Ning Yue Ru Feng De Sang Ning." This long sentence was not smooth for Shen Sang Ning to say, and there were pauses in some places. But the pauses were strange, and it didn't feel like the syllable pauses that humans should have. ∮
She had explained to Lin Xi before that "It's not too late to fall in love" came from "Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng" and "The moon is like the wind" was made up by later generations, but she really imprinted this sentence in her heart and even remembered it after she became a ghost.
After hearing what she said, Lin Xi wanted to cry. She thought of what Chen Sang Ning told her to cherish time. After holding it in for a while, Lin Xi couldn't hold it back. She moved towards Chen Sang Ning and hugged her crying: "Wife, wuwuwu Ning Ning..."
She cried for a while, wiped her tears, and then pushed Chen Sang Ning away again and asked her: "Then do you know what your status code is now?" Lin Xi's face was still covered with traces of tears. She burst into tears suddenly, and then the rain turned to clear after a while. Her mental state was worrying enough.
After hearing Lin Xi's question, Shen Sangning was silent for a while. She must be thinking.
After a while, she finally figured out the answer: "It's hunger!"
Got it, Lin Xi got it, Shen Sang Ning said she was hungry now. But that was not what Lin Xi wanted to know, she simply asked directly: "Ning Ning, what I want to ask is... are you a ghost now, have you lost your memory?"
Shen Sang Ning was silent again. Her clear yet foolish eyes showed that this question was a little difficult for her, but because it was Lin Xi who asked it, she still tried hard to think of the answer. She thought for a long time before answering, "It's a ghost. What is amnesia?"
It was confirmed that Shen Sangning had really turned into a ghost. Lin Xi had a slight thought, what if it wasn't a ghost, but a soul leaving the body? But then she thought, how could Shen Sangning's body be returned to her? She was burned to ashes. Although Lin Xi didn't see it directly, she stood outside the boiler room and knew from the black smoke above the boiler room that Shen Sangning's body had been reduced to a small pile of ashes and buried in the cemetery.
She remembered Shen Sangning's grave very well, and planned to go and burn some paper money for Shen Sangning in a few days when her parents were not around. Lin Xi originally thought that she did not believe in ghosts and gods, but after Shen Sangning died, she hoped that ghosts and gods really existed in this world.
Now that Shen Sangning herself told her that she was the ghost, Lin Xi felt relieved.
Lin Xi could guess from Chen Sang Ning's last sentence "What is amnesia" that Chen Sang Ning had lost her memory, otherwise how could she even say such a thing. Generally speaking, people would only say "I didn't lose my memory" or "I don't remember anything", but Chen Sang Ning's problem was obviously bigger.
Lin Xi asked Shen Sang Ning many more questions, such as "How did we meet?", "When did we confirm our relationship?", "What are your parents' names?" These questions obviously exceeded Shen Sang Ning's understanding, and her clear and stupid eyes lost their clarity, leaving only stupidity.
Facing Lin Xi's questions, Shen Sang Ning was confused until Lin Xi told her: "If you don't know the answer, just say you don't know." After she nodded, the answer to the question became "I don't know anything". She even forgot her parents' names and didn't remember what happened.
In Shen Sangning's mind, there were only a few concepts:
1. Her name is Shen Sangning;
2. Across the street is Lin Creek;
3. They love each other and are each other’s wives;
4. I am a ghost;
5. I am very hungry.
Other than that, Shen Sang Ning didn't know anything. She didn't even know how to turn the hideous male ghost into a black ball. She just acted on instinct. Her instinct also included,
I want to be close to Lin Xi.
After asking the question, Lin Xi responded to Shen Sangning and no longer resisted her, but took the initiative to hug Shen Sangning.
At noon, Lin Xi was not very hungry, after all, she had eaten a lot in the morning, but one of the rules of the family was to have a good work and rest schedule, and eating on time should also be counted as a good work and rest schedule. So Lin Xi decided to go into the kitchen and make herself something to eat.
Lin Xi had been to the kitchen before and knew the rules in the kitchen. She also saw a lot of meat and vegetables in the refrigerator. Lin Xi didn't like instant noodles that much, but she could cook, and she wanted to try whether Shen Sang Ning could eat the dishes she cooked and whether she could fill her stomach.
After all, before, the four ghosts in the house ate their food with relish.
She took some food out of the refrigerator. Although there were meat and vegetables, after all, it was just Lin Xi and Shen Sang Ning, so she didn't plan to overdo it. She washed the rice and cooked it first, then washed the vegetables. After washing the vegetables, Lin Xi put the meat on the chopping board, took out the knife and prepared to prepare the dishes.
The knife was fine in Lin Xi's hand at first, but when she tried to cut vegetables, she felt a sudden flash of electricity. Her hand went numb from the electric shock, and she lost her grip on the blade, causing it to fall to the ground.
Chen Sangning's eyes and hands were quick. She wrapped her arm around Lin Xi's waist and pulled her back, her other hand grabbing the blade that had nearly struck her instep. Chen Sangning's posture was a bit contorted, one arm clinging to Lin Xi's waist, her whole body leaning forward, the other hand lowered to grab the knife, her head tilted to look at Lin Xi.
Lin Xi pulled Shen Sang Ning, and Shen Sang Ning stood up and returned to a normal posture.
"Danger, danger, Lin Xi, danger."
"Um."
Lin Xi nodded. She hadn't expected something like this to happen. The current was instantaneous, and her hand still felt a little dull and numb, but she could move it. She shook her hand and looked at the knife in Shen Sangning's hand. At this moment, she was speechless.
Did she trigger a mechanism? Did she break a rule?
Lin Xi didn't understand why she had violated the rules when she was just cooking. She once again grasped the knife, which lay quietly in her hand, and nothing happened. Lin Xi placed the knife on the chopping board, confirming that she had just been cutting vegetables, which was why the current flowed through the knife.
She pulled the slip of paper from her pocket and double-checked the kitchen rules she'd copied. The only rule related to knives was the last one—children are not allowed to use knives—which, in her case, applied perfectly.
But Lin Xi didn't understand how a college graduate like her could be considered a child. She sensed something was amiss and thought about her journey into the world of ghost stories. Then she realized that this "family" might have inserted her into a certain persona. She wasn't "Lin Xi" in this family, but someone else who had already been assigned a role.
If I had to put it bluntly, it's like playing games with other kids as a child, pretending to be a parent even though I'm not old enough to be one. It's the same situation now, the role she plays should be that of a minor, a child.
And he is a childish kid who doesn't eat onions.
Lin Xi felt a bit of a headache. As an adult, it was really difficult for her to act like a minor. And most importantly, the dishes were ready now. If she didn't cut them, she couldn't use them. Lin Xi turned to look at Shen Sang Ning, a little hesitant.
Shen Sang Ning didn't know how to cook before she died. She relied on her parents at home, the canteen at school, and Lin Xi after graduation. She had never cooked. The only kitchen cooking skills she had were cooking instant noodles, hot pot, dumplings, and at most egg fried rice. This was the thing that Shen Sang Ning, who was perfect in Lin Xi's eyes, was least good at.
She didn’t cook much when she was alive, and she certainly couldn’t be counted on after she died, but now Lin Xi couldn’t use a kitchen knife, so she could only ask Shen Sang Ning: “Ning Ning, can you help me cut the meat and vegetables?”
Chen Sang Ning didn't hesitate at all. She said, "Okay." She was so quick and decisive that Lin Xi thought she could cut vegetables. But when her hand pressed on the meat, raised the kitchen knife, raised it high, and chopped it down fiercely, Lin Xi and the chopping board shook: It's over, it's still that culinary idiot Ning Ning.
