After the Spring Festival, Chi Shen implemented his plan, found a tropical island, and took everyone on vacation. This time he brought Huang Lingling, He Ling, Bai Wan, and Zhong Yi. As for Ji Xingchen, it goes without saying that they would be together.
In the cold winter, Chi Shen was wearing a shirt and shorts, lying on the beach drinking juice and enjoying the sunshine. If it weren't for the large number of tourists, this would have been a perfect vacation.
Amid the bustling crowd, He Ling came running over from the seaside, spitting out seawater as he ran: "Pah, it's so hard to drink, why is it salty, there's so much resentment in this water, can't there be something from the sea to deal with it!"
The location where Chi Shen was lying was quite remote, so basically no one paid attention to this side. Although everyone noticed it, they couldn't see He Ling, but the sudden appearance of a line of water stains on the beach was still very obvious.
Chi Shen shook the juice in his hand and asked He Ling: "Didn't you like resentment the most before? You also liked to watch people struggling when they drowned. Now that resentment is strong, you don't like it anymore?"
"Who likes places with heavy resentment? Who? It's not me, it could be a water ghost, it's definitely not me - I have now ascended from the state of a little ghost, I am the spirit of the river, how could I like resentment?" The river spirit started to argue, "I like clear and clean water, I like the popularity left by fighting and playing in the water, how could I like those things that only ghosts like!"
Chi Shen drank the juice slowly and leisurely. He did not refute him, but said: "You can purify the resentment in the water, so can you purify the resentment in the sea?"
"I seem to be able to manage only the river in the harbor city... Wait," the river spirit who was originally washing the seawater off his body suddenly turned around to look at Chi Shen, "How do you know that I can purify the resentment in the water?"
"The water tank I bought for you where someone had died before has all the resentment gone," Chi Shen said, "Is there anything to hide?"
He Ling looked unhappy, but he still chose to tell the truth: "In fact, I don't have any ability. Although I acted very powerful before, I can only... purify some not-so-strong resentment. Oh, and if someone drowns in Hong Kong City, I can know it immediately, but what's the use of knowing it? There are some people I can't save."
As he said that, He Ling sighed: "I suddenly feel that being a ghost before was pretty good."
"So do you want to try to purify the sea as well?" Chi Shen pointed to a reef not far away. Although the sun was shining brightly now, the reef seemed to be shrouded in a shadow. Just looking at it made people feel cool.
"I'll try." He Ling looked over there for a few times, pinched his nose and jumped into the water again.
"The little water ghost has been deceived," Huang Lingling was sitting next to Chi Shen and making a pile of sand. She might have wanted to build a castle, but now it looked like just a pile of sand. She was shaking her head as she made the pile of sand. "The little water ghost has become a tool ghost to solve troubles."
Chi Shen turned around and knocked Huang Lingling on the head: "If you say that again, I will take your body back."
Huang Lingling covered her head and made a face with her hands. Her body was specially made by Chi Shen as a reward for her protecting so many people in the Special Security Bureau, so he took her on vacation. But it was not very complicated. It was just the paper man that was turned into a rubber man.
"So why is Xiao Zhong here again? How did he follow us?" This time the person asking was Yuan Yiping. He was not here for vacation, but to report on his work. When he was about to leave after the report, he ran into Zhong Yi buying fruits for Bai Wan at a roadside fruit stall.
Chi Shen also fell silent. After a moment, he said, "He said he was here to help us register the accompanying ghosts. Do you believe him? I don't believe it."
Yuan Yiping was also silent for a moment, then he said: "Your sister..."
"As for my sister, Xiao Zhong is not bad. I think he is a trustworthy person. Although he has a bit of a stubborn personality, he will immediately adapt when encountering problems with my sister, so he is quite good to my sister." Chi Shen said.
Yuan Yiping was silent again: "That's not what I meant. I meant that your sister is about to disappear."
Chi Shen did not show any sadness. He was very calm: "I asked her if she wanted to be resurrected and become an ordinary girl, like all the girls of this era, go to school, work, fall in love, get married, and live an ordinary life."
“She rejected me.”
Chi Shen's voice became distant and he fell into memories.
"She said that she was dead and had no reason to exist in this world. She was already living in pain. If she could disappear completely one day, it would be a good thing. But she also asked me to take care of Zhong Yi."
Yuan Yiping looked over there again and said, "Indeed, the way Bai Wan looks at Zhong Yi is just like the way my grandmother looks at me. Forget it, I'm leaving. I don't think I need to deal with the ghosts here."
Chi Shen waved his hand: "Let's go, don't block me from basking in the sun."
As soon as Yuan Yiping left, the wind suddenly blew up at the beach. A dark cloud floated over from the direction of the reef and quickly occupied the sky above the holiday beach. It looked like a heavy rain was about to fall.
Seeing this, most of the people at the beach started to walk back, but the uncle who was selling fruit on the roadside did not move, and even asked Zhong Yi if he wanted another mango.
Bai Wan asked him curiously: "Uncle, aren't you going to leave? It's going to rain soon."
The uncle waved his hands and said, "You outsiders don't understand. The seaside is like this. Sometimes it rains and sometimes it's sunny. It's not like the weather in your inland areas. The rain stops after a while. If I leave, I have to come back later to grab a spot. It's not worth it."
"I see," Bai Wan and Zhong Yi discussed, "Let's get a few more and give them to the brothers to lighten the burden on the uncle."
Zhong Yi took a few more. When they stood up from the stall, the rain had just started and the wind had gotten stronger.
A gust of wind blew over, blowing the uncle's stall all over the place. The uncle yelled and hurried to chase his umbrella that was blown away. Bai Wan and Zhong Yi also stood against the wind. Bai Wan whispered, "This wind is not right."
"The resentment is very strong. I remember that this resentment is very far away from us and should not appear here." Zhong Yi said.
Bai Wan suddenly felt something. She didn't say anything, but took a step back. The candlestick in her hand appeared, but the wind immediately blew out the flame on the candle.
In the past, her candle could not be blown out, which meant that there was indeed resentment mixed in the wind.
The candle suddenly went out, and Bai Wan was stunned for a moment. She was about to do something, but Zhong Yi suddenly pulled her and protected her behind him. He turned around, faced the strong wind, made hand gestures, and muttered something.
The wind blew past the two of them as if it had encountered a barrier. The protected Bai Wan also opened her eyes wide, as if she was shocked that her candle would go out.
Suddenly, Zhong Yi waved his hand and made a chopping motion. A crack was created in the strong wind, and the dark clouds above were also torn open. The sun shone down again, and the dark clouds and strong wind quickly dissipated.
Zhong Yi suddenly smiled: "You have always protected me before, now I can finally protect you for once."
"Thank you." Bai Wan still had the mango in her hand. She said, "Let's give it to my brother."
Meanwhile, He Ling had just climbed ashore in a panic, cleaning the seaweed off his body while complaining, "I was going to reason with it, but it got scared and ran away. I couldn't outrun it. Are all the ghosts in the sea so powerful? No, it's not a ghost at all. It's just a bunch of resentful thoughts. I didn't expect it to be killed by Zhong Yi in one blow. I was thinking that if it could also develop spiritual intelligence, I could pass on my experience of becoming a spirit to it. What a pity."
Chi Shen shook his sunglasses calmly: "It's fate and time. It means he is not destined to become a sea spirit."
After a while, Bai Wan came back and brought them mangoes. Then she took Zhong Yi to the beach, saying that she wanted to take a walk with Zhong Yi.
Zhong Yi followed.
Chi Shen calmly lay back in the recliner. When he turned around, he saw Ji Xingchen's abdominal muscles and fell silent.
"How come you, a working man, have such good abdominal muscles? Are you secretly working out every day?" Chi Shen was indignant.
Ji Xingchen: "Maybe I had a grudge against fitness when I died, so I still have it after I die. And as a ghost, I don't need to exercise and can maintain my current figure."
Chi Shen: "Is this also one of the reasons why you don't want to be resurrected?!"
Ji Xingchen: "No, it's just that I'm resurrected, so I can't just belong to you."
Gui Lian and Huang Lingling both looked over.
Chi Shen immediately covered his face and pretended that he was not blushing, but his red ears betrayed him.
On the beach, the rain had just stopped and there were not many people. Bai Wan and Zhong Yi were walking in the sun. Bai Wan was walking in front, and her footprints were soon washed away by the waves. Zhong Yi could never catch up with her.
"What a nice day," Bai Wan exclaimed, "I've never stepped on sea water like this in my life."
"You will have many opportunities in the future," Zhong Yi said, "If you want, I can take you to the beach every week."
Bai Wan turned around and looked at Zhong Yi with a smile.
Zhong Yi also looked at her. He looked into Bai Wan's eyes, mustered up his courage, and said word by word: "I am the heir of a ghost-exorcist family. There are many ways to let you stay in the world and live like an ordinary person. If it doesn't work, I can also ask Chi Shen to keep you. Moreover, I can protect you now. You... I like you. Can you stay for me?"
Bai Wan shook her head: "I am a dead person, you shouldn't choose me, but thank you."
Haimang touched Bai Wan's ankle and then stepped back, so that the footprints she had just left disappeared.
Bai Wan walked over, reached out and hugged Zhong Yi: "Thank you for letting me know what it feels like to be loved."
"You...you can also try to love me." Zhong Yi's voice was a little anxious. He had noticed some things from a long time ago. For example, Bai Wan could disappear at any time, so he had been following Bai Wan for the past few days. "You can't just leave like this!"
Bai Wan smiled and shook her head at him. Zhong Yi stretched out his hand, wanting to hug Bai Wan in his arms, but he hugged nothing.
Bai Wan disappeared. The moment she felt loved, she finally untied the knot in her heart that had lasted for a century and completely disappeared from this world.
Only Zhong Yi was left standing on the beach, crying as he looked in the direction where Bai Wan disappeared.
