Chi Shen showed a toothache expression: "Don't you have any simpler wishes?"
The woman clenched the kitchen knife in her hand and said rather embarrassedly: "If it's too difficult, forget it."
"No, we can't give up!" Chi Shen said immediately, "Wait for me for two days, I will make preparations!"
Although it was difficult, Chi Shen was really angry. It was impossible that he could not succeed in saving a single ghost! Even if he had studied how to save the dead out of interest at the beginning, now he failed repeatedly. Anyone would be angry!
The ghost face’s wish is so simple, but it failed to save her soul. Then the woman’s wish is a little more difficult. If it comes true, can it really save her soul?
The woman looked at Chi Shen in shock, as if he was joking. She asked cautiously, "Okay?"
Chi Shen nodded: "I will try."
He couldn't make big promises, in case they failed to come true, he could only be saved physically.
The woman’s wish was a little difficult, so Chi Shen decided to ask the boy what his wish was.
Seeing the boy coming out, the woman quickly returned to the room. The boy felt a little disappointed, and then looked at Chi Shen again.
After Guilian's persuasion, the boy had walked out of the toilet and moved into the room Chi Shen mentioned. He was also coming out of that room at this moment. Accompanied by Guilian, he sat on the sofa very stiffly, with his hands on his knees looking at Chi Shen.
"Do you have any wish?" Chi Shen asked again.
"Wish?" The boy was a little confused. He didn't seem to expect to be asked this question.
Chi Shen showed his most confident signature sunny smile: "We are roommates now, it is normal for me to help you realize one or two wishes, right?"
The boy silently moved a little further away from the pond: "I hope my mother can get out of this house and live her life."
Chi Shen's eyes lit up slightly. This is easy!
The boy lowered his head slightly, digging at the sofa with one hand: "And... I also want to know how my classmates are doing."
When he spoke the last part, his voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible, but Chi Shen had very good hearing and still heard it. Chi Shen sighed in his heart, children's wishes are still simple.
"No problem!" Chi Shen immediately stood up from the sofa, "I'll take you to find your classmates now. They're female classmates, right?"
The boy lowered his head even further and nodded slightly.
Chi Shen was already changing his shoes at the door. He looked up and said, "But after you meet my female classmates, you have to do me a favor."
The boy nodded in confusion: "Okay."
After finding out the female classmate's name and where she lived, Chi Shen took the boy with him and Ji Xingchen also returned to his shadow and walked with them.
"If you feel tired, you can stay in my shadow for a while and I will take you away." Chi Shen said.
“Can I?” The boy looked tentatively at the deep shadow of the pool. It was pitch black. He stretched out a hand and reached in. Then he took a step back in fear. “I’d better follow you. I…I want to see what’s going on outside!”
"That's fine. Let's go." Chi Shen took the boy out.
When he reached the door, the boy stopped inside the gate. He tried to lift his legs and wanted to step out, but he couldn't step out of the door. Chi Shen understood that this was because the boy was an earthbound spirit. He used his hand as a knife and lightly cut between the boy and the door.
The boy suddenly looked a lot more relaxed. He looked at Chi Shen with gratitude and walked out of the house.
It was getting late now, almost eleven o'clock. Fortunately, the female classmate's home was not far from here, so Chi Shen picked up a shared bicycle and rode there.
They soon arrived at the neighborhood the boy mentioned. Chi Shen let the boy go in alone, while he and Ji Xingchen waited outside so as not to disturb the two middle school students from expressing their feelings to each other.
Chi Shen sat on a bench downstairs, yawned lazily, and called out, "Ji Xingchen."
There was no response from his shadow.
Chi Shen stretched out a hand, grabbed Ji Xingchen's wrist, dragged him out of the shadow, asked him to sit with him on the bench, and looked at him with a smile: "Are you tired?"
"No." Ji Xingchen looked at him. "I was thinking, it's a weekday now, high school students should be in school, most likely living in the dormitory, so he might not be able to see them."
"Then let's do it again on the weekend." Chi Shen said, pushing Ji Xingchen's glasses with his hand, "Aren't you curious whether that person is you?"
Ji Xingchen straightened his glasses that were crooked by Chi Shen and said calmly, "It's meaningless."
"You seem to care a lot," Chi Shen smiled at him, "Just be honest, it's not a big deal to say it out, you have to believe in yourself, even if you are still alive and have other bad memories, you are still the Ji Xingchen who would say 'call the police', that's not you."
Ji Xingchen's eyes flickered slightly, and after a while, he said softly: "Yeah."
Chi Shen also looked at Ji Xingchen and laughed. Ji Xingchen did not ask who that person was. In that case, Chi Shen did not intend to tell anyone.
The autumn night was still a little cold, and it was not too late now. From time to time, people passed by Chi Shen and saw him sitting alone on a bench talking to himself. They all looked at him strangely, as if they were looking at a mental patient. There was also regret in their eyes, as if they were saying, how could such a young and handsome person go crazy at such a young age?
Ji Xingchen glanced at those people and moved closer to Chi Shen. Chi Shen immediately turned to look at him: "I understand, you are blowing to remind me."
Ji Xingchen immediately returned to social distance and said softly, "Someone is coming, please be careful."
Chi Shen smiled and took out his cell phone, pretending to make a call, but what he said was: "What a hassle, it turns out that I am more comfortable with ghosts."
"You should have one or two human friends," Ji Xingchen reminded, "Normal people have human friends."
"I know." Chi Shen agreed casually.
They waited downstairs for half an hour before the boy came down. The autumn wind at night was a little cold, and the ground was covered with a layer of unswept fallen leaves. The boy walked over on the leaves. He kept his head down, so people couldn't see his face clearly, but his figure looked very lost.
"Didn't you see her?" Chi Shen asked.
The boy shook his head quickly: "Yes."
"Does that mean she has a boyfriend?" Chi Shen asked again.
The boy shook his head again and smiled. "She is preparing for the college we talked about. I am very happy. I am really happy. She has put a lot of labels on her desk. I saw them. They said 'I agreed with Jun Ge, see you in Beijing' and 'I am not the only one working hard. I also have Jun Ge's dream.'"
As he spoke, his voice became hoarse and he started crying: "But I can't accompany her to take the exam."
