Chi Shen's eyes revealed a trace of confusion at the right time. He looked at the black child and called out tentatively: "Sister?"
The black child turned his head and looked at him, but completely ignored him and just hugged Sheng Yulan tightly. Sheng Yulan was now covered in blood and she had bitten a big hole in her chest. She looked extremely terrifying.
This kind of injury looked much more terrible than the wound Sheng Yulan had cut herself before, but Sheng Yulan did not show any expression of pain. She even smiled and told Chi Shen what was going on.
Huang Lingling also looked at them, and seemed unhappy.
Sheng Yulan took the initiative to hug her and said, "You are also a poor child, come and have dinner with us."
"Then are you still my mother?" Huang Lingling stared at the black child while speaking, but her tone was full of aggrieved.
"Of course." Sheng Yulan said, "As long as you are willing, you can all be my children."
Huang Lingling laughed: "Then mom, I want to eat braised pork!"
"eat!"
Chi Shen served five bowls of rice, four of which had chopsticks stuck vertically into the rice. He placed them in front of Sheng Yulan, the black kid, Huang Lingling, and Bai Wan respectively. In front of him, the chopsticks were placed on the edge of the bowl.
Chi Shen called out their names one by one. The black child was abandoned at birth and grew up eating ghosts, so she naturally had no name. Chi Shen used Sheng Yulan's daughter instead, and then he said, "It's time to eat."
Each ghost stretched out his hand, grasped the chopsticks stuck in the rice, picked up the bowl, sat at the table with Chi Shen, and started eating dinner.
"Mom, I want to eat that!" Huang Lingling was very active. "I can't get it, mom, give it to me!"
"I have to share some with my younger sister." Sheng Yulan just asked clearly. Huang Lingling is older, so she is the older sister.
Huang Lingling glanced at the black kid who didn't even know how to use chopsticks. She was a little unhappy, but she still gave her half of the chopsticks and said disdainfully, "That's not how you hold chopsticks! It's like this!"
Sheng Yulan watched them talking with a smile on her face. Bai Wan lifted her veil slightly and put the food into her mouth. Chi Shen couldn't help but smile. He judged that Du Jun would also smile happily now, so he didn't hide it this time and smiled in a relaxed manner.
Sheng Yulan’s cooking skills weren’t actually that great, and her seasonings naturally couldn’t compare to those in restaurants, but every dish tasted incredibly enjoyable and ordinary, as if Chi Shen hadn’t tasted each of them in many years.
Since he went to college, he has been eating in the cafeteria or eating instant noodles every day. After work, he would order takeout from small restaurants. He also thought about cooking for himself, but he didn't have the conditions when he was in school, and he didn't have the time after work.
Chi Shen immediately made a decision to let Ji Xingchen learn how to cook.
The meal ended with Huang Lingling's noisy voice, and at the end, only two ghosts were left at the table.
Sheng Yulan and the black kid disappeared.
Chi Shen still remembers their expressions at that time. Sheng Yulan was smiling, and the black child finally showed his first normal smile. The next moment, the two of them turned into points of light and disappeared in the house.
"Mom, I--" Huang Lingling turned around and saw that Sheng Yulan's seat was empty.
The lively Huang Lingling immediately turned cold. She threw away her chopsticks and looked at Chi Shen without any expression: "The show is over, let's go back."
Chi Shen said, "Let's finish our meal first."
"I'm not eating anymore! I'm full!" Huang Lingling stood up suddenly, "If you don't take me back, I'll go back by myself!"
Chi Shen tilted his head and glanced at her: "Do you want to cry?"
“No way!” Huang Lingling stamped her feet and looked at Chi Shen angrily, “Don’t come to me for this kind of thing in the future!”
"I'm going to your house this weekend, do you want to go back?" Chi Shen said calmly, "Li Xu will go too."
"My home?" Huang Lingling looked at Chi Shen in confusion.
Chi Shen nodded and continued eating.
He finished today's dinner slowly. Sheng Yulan cooked too much and couldn't finish it. He estimated that it would be food for the next few days. He wrapped each dish in plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator, then went to wash the dishes.
After finishing all these, he went to wash up and prepare for bed.
Just as he walked into the bedroom, he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have forgotten something. He looked back at the closet, reached out his hand and opened the closet.
The ghost face and the female ghost in red were lying lifeless inside, and the two were still arguing.
Ghost Face: "It's because you're so stupid that we're locked up!"
The red-clothed female ghost refused to give in: "You! You talk too much! You have a big mouth! I'll tear you to pieces!"
Chi Shen squatted down and looked at the two ghosts: "Aren't you going to come out?"
The female ghost in red finally reacted, crawled out like lightning, and disappeared in a flash.
Gui Lian also stood up from the cabinet and looked at Chi Shen: "How is Bai Wan? Is she dead?"
Bai Wan floated past the bedroom door quietly, and Gui Lian immediately shut up and pretended that he hadn't said anything.
"Thank you for your hard work today. You performed very well." Since the red-clothed female ghost had already run away, Chi Shen could only pat the ghost's face and comfort her, "I'll reward you with something to eat. I'll go and trick her for two more drops of blood."
As soon as Chi Shen finished speaking, two drops of blood rolled out from the corner of the room and rolled directly in front of Chi Shen.
Chi Shen looked back at Ji Xingchen No. 2 with some surprise and laughed: "You are shy as well, thank you."
After Ghost Face swallowed Ji Xingchen No. 2's blood, the Yin energy emanating from him immediately became stronger. He was so happy that he almost jumped up: "I feel very strong now. I am already two of me... not three of me, no no no, five of me, ten of me!"
The female ghost in red was also caught by Chi Shen and fed. When it came to food, the female ghost in red never resisted. She swallowed a drop of Ji Xingchen No. 2's blood in one gulp. The next second, the tongue that had been cut short by Chi Shen grew out in an instant.
Looking at the current appearance of the female ghost in red, Chi Shen thought and took out a pair of scissors.
The female ghost in red immediately covered her mouth, and her thick long tongue shortened in an instant. Instead, white bones grew where her upper body disappeared, and the bones disappeared at the waist.
Now the appearance of the female ghost in red is that of a female ghost with a head and hands, a skeleton upper body, and wearing red clothes.
The red-dressed ghost seemed very satisfied with her current appearance. She reached out and touched her bones repeatedly, laughing: "Hey! It looks good! Wow! A beautiful woman with withered bones!"
Seeing the happy female ghost in red, Chi Shen smiled and asked her and Gui Lian to go out and play. He also went out and brought in the sweatshirt that Sheng Yulan asked him to buy from the living room and placed it next to the closet.
The closet door slowly opened, and two pale ghost hands stretched out from inside, reached into the bag of clothes, and took out the clothes.
It was a bright yellow fleece sweatshirt, perfect for wearing in late autumn.
The clothes in the closet that were messed up by the ghost face and the female ghost in red were also sorted out by the closet ghost. After he moved into the new house, the thing he arranged for himself to do every day was to tidy up the closet. Every item put in would be sorted out by him according to categories. This seemed to be a hobby of his.
He would also help Chi Shen pass things around. He would assume that clothes placed next to the closet needed to be sorted out and would prepare to put them away in the closet.
Chi Shen had just changed into his pajamas and saw the sweatshirt being taken out. He said, "No need to sort that out. It's size M and I can't wear it. I'll give it to the old lady to wear on the weekend."
A face emerged from the cabinet and looked at Chi Shen in confusion.
Chi Shen asked, "What's wrong?"
The ghost hand holding the sweatshirt turned the clothes over and showed Chi Shen the label: L.
——
afternoon.
Chi Shen went to buy milk tea for Sheng Yulan.
Sheng Yulan returned to the clothing store with her clothes in her hand. She returned her clothes and called the salesperson apologetically, "Can you change this dress to a larger size for me?"
The salesperson smiled and said yes, but turned around and muttered strangely: "I told you it wouldn't fit, but you insisted on buying it. Now you want to change it. What a waste of time."
Seeing the salesperson bring over the size L, Sheng Yulan touched the fabric to confirm that it was thick, then she laughed: "What if I get cold if I wear such thin clothes normally?"
——
In order to perform this play, Chi Shen took a day off. Fortunately, Li Xu was easy to talk to and did not say anything about his day off, and did not even deduct his salary.
The next day, Chi Shen took Huang Lingling to the company and replaced Du Jun, who was holding Huang Lingling's position on Li Xu's body.
Du Jun looked at Chi Shen with some concern: "How is my mother?"
Chi Shen did all these things with Du Jun's consent, and he knew what Chi Shen was going to do.
"She fulfilled her long-cherished wish and disappeared peacefully," said Chi Shen.
Du Jun nodded. He didn't say anything else. He just stood beside Chi Shen for a while and then returned to the ginkgo leaves.
"You still want to see that female classmate again, right?" Chi Shen asked.
The leaf was silent for a moment. After a moment, he said softly, "Am I too greedy? I just wanted to see her once before, but now I...I want to accompany her to take the college entrance examination."
Chi Shen's smile did not reach his eyes. He said, "You are indeed greedy, but I am happy now that I can fulfill your wish."
The leaf said, "Thank you."
While the man and the ghost were talking, Ji Xingchen walked out from the shadow of the desk. He swept his calm eyes over the ginkgo leaf. In order to make it more realistic, Chi Shen also kept Ji Xingchen in the company.
"Some people stay because of hatred, and some people stay because of love." Ji Xing said calmly.
Chi Shen had not been sitting at his seat for long when Ma Caijin came out of the tea room, yawning and drinking the coffee provided by the company. He saw Chi Shen, greeted him calmly, and walked towards his seat. After taking two steps, he suddenly turned around and looked at Chi Shen in surprise.
Chi Shen has already opened the game. He is going to play the new horror game for pay.
Ma Caijin's voice suddenly rang out beside him: "Why are you dressed so fancy today? Didn't you always wear black, white and gray before? Isn't this yellow too bright? Are you preparing to ascend the throne?"
"It looks good, right? My mom said young people should wear brighter clothes." Chi Shen said with a smile. Unlike his usual bright smile, this time his smile was very faint, but anyone could tell that it was a smile from the heart.
