Chapter 81
"Oh my god! Hahahaha… I'm dying of laughter, Lou Sheng! Just because Ying Zhisheng confessed his love for you and wanted to marry you, you hid on the ceiling?"
It was a rare sight. Dong Chi had never seen Lou Sheng so embarrassed and guilty. He naturally sided with his good friend. After all, the person had died and turned into a ghost, so what if they had a passionate human-ghost romance?
That being said, Lou Sheng just wanted to live a good life underground and didn't want to delay Ying Zhisheng.
"It's not a delay at all. Don't you think Ying Zhisheng is in much better condition now? Fuquan told me yesterday that Ying Zhisheng almost died after committing suicide for love." Dong Chi didn't understand such emotions, but he often filmed this kind of life-and-death love.
The more melodramatic the story is, the more the audience likes it. That year, a TV series called "She Loves Him, He Loves Her, She Loves Her" was filmed and it directly ranked first in ratings across all platforms.
"Lou Sheng, where do you get all this charm from? As far as I know, besides Ying Zhisheng, there are others who drown their sorrows in alcohol and have become addicted. You're just a clever but childish middle school kid."
Lou Sheng glanced at him sideways and said, who is not charming?
Thinking back to those days when he received so many love letters, Lou Sheng read every one of them carefully and wrote a reply. He frantically searched for compliments online and even slipped candies in the letters to avoid hurting others.
A hero never brags about his past achievements. Lou Sheng lowered his eyes and focused on something else: "A policeman told me that if I help them investigate a case, he can rebuild my body."
"You're just bragging." Dong Chi didn't believe it, but then he thought, "What if?"
"I refused." After a subtle pause, he added, "Ying Zhisheng agreed with my choice."
"Oh, Ying Zhisheng is not your relative, so why do you need his approval?"
Lou Sheng touched his earlobe awkwardly and sighed helplessly. Dong Chi, who was standing opposite him, rolled his eyes and asked, "Has your mother met Ying Zhisheng?"
Logically speaking, Dong Chi has been abroad for many years and should know nothing about it.
"Yes." If Ying Zhisheng hadn't revealed it in a few words, he wouldn't have known that his mother had contacted the other party privately.
This room is always dark, its chill chill intimidating. Neither Dong Chi, his childhood friend, nor Fu Quan, his longtime colleague, are willing to set foot here, a natural resistance to death. Yet, some refuse to leave this oppressive room.
"Lou Shengna——"
"Your mother is actually a little too strong."
"Didn't the elementary school hold a small market stall event? They said the profits would be donated. You were so excited, weren't you? You sold out in less than five minutes without even shouting. But actually, your mom had someone buy them all. She thought it was a waste of time and asked you to go home early."
"When your mom saw me bringing you the swimsuit magazine, didn't she just pretend she didn't see anything? To tell you the truth, it was your mom who recommended my dad send me abroad."
Gao Xinhua, who raised the child with great difficulty, has a strong desire to control him. She only believes that she can bring Lou Sheng a bright future and the path she has paved for him, and for this reason, she does not allow even a single mistake.
No one in the world loves her son more than a mother.
"I guess Ying Zhisheng won't have an easy time."
In fact, Gao Xinhua accepted the man's advances because he was Ying Zhisheng's father. She wanted to disgust this bastard who was trying to make her son a homosexual.
A husband and father, the pillar of a family.
In my opinion, he is just a dog that bends down and fawns on me, and he doesn't even dare to speak loudly.
Do you understand the gap between you and Lou Sheng?
…
Lou Sheng's memories were distorted, but distant yet profound images surfaced before him. The silence and repression of his parents' divorce. His mother wasn't a weakling, or else she wouldn't have divorced in that era, struggling to survive while dragging her young son along.
But.
He remembered every time his mother cried, her hair disheveled, drinking, and talking to herself on the tape recorder. Lou Sheng just stared at her, stunned, and only years later did he realize that life was too hard, and his mother was leaving a will to explain her affairs after her death.
"Mom just wants you to be happy." These whispers linger in my ears.
Lou Sheng sat on the chair, staring blankly at the clock on the wall, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.
The first half of Ying Zhisheng's life is very clearly presented to the public. He lost his mother at an early age and came from a single-parent family. At the age of fourteen, he created a song that became a hit on the Internet and began to enter the entertainment industry. Those who know the inside story know that this was the beginning of his becoming a cash cow.
Since their separation, Ying Zhisheng has been doing pretty well these past few years. His mother wouldn't be so ruthless as to disrupt his career; she probably just used some trickery to get him away from her.
What will you say?
What kind of expression and posture is it?
Lou Sheng started thinking about resurrection again. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Chen Ji's so-called assistance in the case was not that simple. How could such a lucky thing happen to him?
"What are you thinking about?"
Only then did he realize that Ying Zhisheng had been standing silently behind him for a long time, disappearing into the darkness, his silence even more ghostly than Lou Sheng.
"Do you want me to come back alive?" Lou Sheng was still worried. This condition was too tempting, just like the brightly colored fruits on the tree, which could be picked with just one hand. It seemed that the juice would overflow when you took a bite, but you didn't know if it contained deadly poison.
Ying Zhisheng turned on the small desk lamp, adjusted the angle so that his shadow overlapped with Lou Sheng's ghost, and replied after a moment, "No."
"Why?" Lou Sheng didn't understand. Dong Chi had repeatedly urged him to seize the opportunity, and Fuquan had hinted at it, as if to say that if he survived, everything would return to normal, and the cyberbullying and accidents would disappear. Why would Ying Zhisheng be unwilling?
The shadow on the wall tilted its head, trying to kiss the unaware ghost in front of it. Ying Zhisheng adjusted the angle, struggling to decide whether to kiss Lou Sheng on the face or on the lips.
"Because you don't want to."
Yes, even if I know there is someone in the world who loves me deeply, and that we once had feelings for each other but unfortunately missed each other, I feel the powerlessness of the dead, and I can't help with anything, and can only worry.
Ying Zhisheng took her everywhere to watch dramas, listen to music, and participate in variety shows.
Lou Sheng still didn't have such a strong desire to live.
——"You killed your mother! You also killed my father! Lou Sheng, you are a beast. If you and your mother hadn't held the money tightly in your hands, would my father have done such a thing as killing his own sister?"
——"Give me money!! Give me money, Lou Sheng! Wuuuuuuu… Cousin, you've killed someone and are going to jail anyway, so give me some money. They're coming after me to collect the debt!!"
The disfigured face was too terrifying. Moreover, after he came back to life, his mother had passed away, leaving him heavily in debt and with his uncle's life at stake, his relatives were eager to pay him back, and this situation was worse than death.
——
In the special investigation office, the painful howling of ghosts could be heard in the distance, which was shrill and endless.
Chen Ji was playing with the talisman in his hand, and the yellow paper at his fingertips suddenly caught fire.
Good news came: "Captain! Lou Sheng agreed to help us!"
