Chapter 17
The transfer to the psychiatric department failed, and Lu Yunji retaliated by ordering the most expensive dish in the entire restaurant and opened two bottles of the most expensive wine, trying to make Xie Changshi's wallet bleed.
However, for Xie Changshi, such provocation was no different from playing house.
"If you are really bored, go home early and attend a few more meetings." Xie Changshi raised his eyelids and put a cleanly peeled prawn into Rong Jing's bowl in a light voice.
Lu Yunji rolled his eyes: "I don't want it."
He finally got off work and went back to attend a meeting. It's not like he was such a jerk.
He looked at the mirror and blinked his narrow peach blossom eyes: "I haven't seen you for twelve years, and I still haven't bonded with Little Tail."
After saying that, he asked Rong Jing, "Little Tail, where were you without saying a word? You don't know how awful Xie Changshi's face was during that time. He didn't listen carefully in class and was often in a daze. He was even criticized by the head teacher in front of the whole class. Oh, it was terrible."
Rong Jing paused holding the chopsticks.
His attention shifted from the bowl in front of him to Xie Changshi's face. However, the man raised his hand and turned his face back before he could meet his eyes. He said calmly, "You believe what he said."
Rong Jing thought so too. Lu Yunji always liked to tease him.
Lu Yunji raised his eyebrows slightly, and there was a meaningful look in his eyes.
Although the situation at that time was not as exaggerated as he said, Xie Changshi's absent-mindedness during that period was real.
The math teacher on the podium was calling out the question on page n, but when Xie Changshi lowered his head, he saw a Chinese textbook on the table.
When it was time for lunch, he did not follow the group to the cafeteria, but instead walked out of the school because he subconsciously thought that there was a hungry little zombie at home.
When he came to his senses, he lowered his eyes and walked silently back to the cafeteria. Lu Yunji had already prepared and pushed the extra lunch over to him.
Thinking of this, Lu Yunji couldn't help but poke Rong Jing's thin white arm again: "Little tail, you haven't told me where you have been."
Rong Jing bit the shrimp tail and blinked: "Back to my hometown."
oh.
Back to my hometown, no wonder.
"Where are you from?"
"coffin."
Lu Yunji was stunned and turned to look at Xie Changshi: "Where is this? Why is there such an unlucky name?"
Lu Yunji considered himself knowledgeable and experienced. He would travel abroad whenever he had free time in college, and he could be considered a person who had seen the beautiful rivers and mountains of the motherland, but he had never heard of the place "guancai".
Xie Changshi lowered his eyes and caught a glimpse of the ill intentions in Rong Jing's dark eyes. He couldn't help but curl up his thin lips.
Then he answered Lu Yunji: "It doesn't matter if you don't know now, you will know later."
Lu Yunji: "Ah?"
How come he didn't know when Xie Changshi also became the Riddler?
While he was still confused, Xie Changshi added slowly, "There will always be a chance to go."
"is that so?"
"Um."
The conversation between the two flowed smoothly, and Lu Yunji didn't notice that Rong Jing, who was almost burying his head in the bowl, was grinning widely, and was trying hard not to laugh out loud.
In the past, it was always Lu Yunji who teased him, but this time it was finally his and Xie Changshi's turn to tease Lu Yunji.
…
The dinner was quite harmonious.
Before parting in the restaurant's underground garage, Rong Jing rubbed her bulging belly, yawned, and half of her face emerged from behind Xie Changshi. She said to Lu Yunji, "I'll take five hundred from you today. The divination you requested won't count. If you need anything else, feel free to contact me."
Hearing this, Lu Yunji couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
He went to Changhua Street to ask Rong Jing for fortune-telling simply to find out whether this little tail still remembered him, and he was not very interested in fortune-telling itself.
Lu Yunji asked: "What if I don't have anything to calculate?"
Although Rong Jing was reluctant, she still told the truth: "Then I will return the money to you."
Lu Yunji was an observant person, and the moment he saw Rong Jing's expression, he found it amusing. Xie Changshi was clearly beside him. Twelve years ago, Xie Changshi might have been a bit poor, but now... let alone five hundred, adding a hundred million would be no problem, yet he still felt bad about five hundred.
Well, although I don’t want to admit it, what Xie Changshi said is indeed right.
It is still a white and tender little rice cake, and has nothing to do with the black-hearted sesame rice balls.
He couldn't break his habit of wanting to tease Rong Jing, but when his eyes fell on Xie Changshi, he finally held back and nodded, saying, "Okay, but forget it today. I'll settle it with you next time we have dinner together or when you and Xie Changshi come to the company."
Lu Yunji waved lazily at the two of them, then turned and walked towards the car nearby.
Seeing this, Xie Changshi also took Rong Jing back to Yunjiang Bay.
Today, Rong Jing finally made a small profit after a day's work, and as soon as he got home, he lay down on the table and started to keep accounts.
Xie Changshi stood beside him and watched for a few seconds, and couldn't help but find it funny.
Rong Jing's account records only income, which is somewhat self-deceptive.
"Finish the accounting and go to bed early."
"Oh, I know. Good night."
"good evening."
Half an hour later, Rong Jing returned to her room and just lay down with her doll in her arms when she heard a knock on the window. She got out of bed barefoot and drew aside the curtains, only to be met with a face that was tired, pale, and filled with despair.
Rong Jing: "...Why are you here?"
Cheng Puyu politely asked Rong Jing if he could come in. After receiving a positive response, he decisively passed through the wall and floated in front of the young man. Then he sat down on the ground, feeling extremely aggrieved. "I want to ask you, if I accidentally, inadvertently, or without noticing, scare someone unconscious, can I still stay in the human world?"
Rong Jing was so confused by all these attempts to distance himself from the matter that she couldn't help but ask curiously, "What did you do?"
Cheng Puyu was silent for two seconds, and finally chose to tell the truth.
"One of the clients Brother Song assigned me to work with was a complete idiot. He was always so demanding, and whenever I tried to coax him into doing something, he'd just get excited. He'd complain about this and that, and even ask me how Xie's employees, with their skills, could be number one in the country... I was furious. It was clearly his own fault, but he was blaming me. So, I couldn't help myself and showed up at his house via the internet cable, scaring him to death."
Cheng Puyu has been a ghost for so many years. The first time he acted impulsively was when he met Xie Changshi, and today was the second time.
The former is because Xie Changshi is too good, and the latter is because the customers are too worthy.
But when Cheng Puyu calmed down and saw the person fall down, he was also frightened. He tried to feel the other person's breath and found that the other person was just fainted. He quickly called 120 and then ran to Rong Jing for help.
Thinking about what he had done, Cheng Puyu hung his head like a puppy who had made a mistake.
Rong Jing patted its shoulder, thought for a moment and said, "Go to the hospital and see if the person is okay."
Cheng Puyu uttered a dry "oh" and floated away again.
Early the next morning.
Song Qing arrived at Yunjiangwan with breakfast in hand. As soon as he entered, he couldn't wait to share the news with Rong Jing and Xie Changshi: "I was checking my social media today, and Chen Rong from the Jiang family said he saw a ghost last night!"
Xie Changshi encountered ghosts every few days, but he didn't take it seriously.
Rong Jing paused while drinking milk, then leaned over to inquire about the news: "What do you mean?"
Song Qing opened his Moments and came across Chen Rong's updates.
Chen Rong: Damn, I'm really going crazy. I was chatting with someone from the Xie family last night when a ghost suddenly appeared in front of me. I thought I was seeing things, but the ghost kept getting closer and closer, and I was so scared that I fainted.
The comment below is: Mr. Chen, is he too tired recently?
Chen Rong: Really? I also thought I was too tired and hallucinating, but when I woke up, I was in the hospital. The doctor told me that someone had called 120 to the hospital, but I was alone at home. Who else would help me make the call except a ghost? / Smile
Song Qing pointed to a picture of yellow 'Repel All Ghosts' talisman paper that Chen Rong had downloaded from the internet and hadn't yet removed the watermark, and said with emotion, "It seems the ghost he encountered was quite friendly and knew to call 120 for him."
Rong Jing's eyes drifted to the side and landed accurately on Cheng Puyu, who was hugging a pillow, curled up on the sofa diagonally opposite, and had a guilty look on his face.
Then he nodded in affirmation: "Indeed."
Finally, a friendly reminder: "By the way, remember to tell him that the talisman paper you downloaded is wrong. This is not a talisman to repel all ghosts, it's a talisman to summon spirits."
"A talisman?"
"Yes," Rong Jing held his cheek and added mercilessly: "Specially recruited resentful spirits."
