Chapter 119 People Are Scary
Chapter 119 People Are Scary
Geng Miaowan chuckled dryly twice and said, "Well, I didn't bring him; he came along on his own."
"In that case, I'll hit the security guard and make him leave."
"No...no..." She grabbed his hand as he tried to call for security, and said with a forced smile, "Guests are guests..."
"Then you'll have to sleep in the room next to mine."
"Okay... I'll go put my luggage away then." She said, dragging her luggage as she quickly disappeared at the top of the stairs.
I don't know what's wrong with these people. Ever since she said she was going to move to Qiu Pi's villa to protect him, Xu Ruwen and Xiao Bai, needless to say, followed her without question. But Luan Hao fell into a deep sleep without saying a word, and this Peng Yuxian, ever since he woke up, he's seemed strange. Now that he heard she was moving here, he shamelessly followed her.
When Peng Yuxian and Xu Ruwen saw Geng Miaowan go upstairs, they quickly got up to follow her, but Qiu Pi stopped them.
He raised an eyebrow and pointed behind him, saying, "Your rooms are over there."
Then he instructed the servants to take them to the guest room on the first floor, and he happily went upstairs, looking extremely pleased with himself.
And so, these people with different motives began an unusual cohabitation. Although they mostly disliked each other, they got along not too badly because of their relationship with Geng Miaowan.
However, the most frustrated person was Qiu Pi. He naturally had no objection to having Geng Miaowan with him wherever he went, but it was really frustrating that Geng Miaowan had Peng Yuxian and Xu Ruwen with her everywhere she went.
But they acted like law-abiding citizens, never lingering in his sight when he came out. However, whenever he tried to do something, they would suddenly appear out of nowhere to stop him.
Therefore, even though Geng Miaowan lived with him for more than two months, he didn't gain any benefits, and he couldn't even think about the idea of a man and woman having sex alone together.
For the past two months, besides following him around, Geng Miaowan had to check the wound on his chest every day to see if it had changed. However, what puzzled her and everyone else was that the wound on Qiu Pi's chest was still a light pinkish-red, exactly the same as when she first saw it two months ago.
Faced with this situation, Peng Yuxian and Xu Ruwen shared her bewilderment, while Luan Hao, the only one who knew a little about Shang, had fallen into a deep sleep. They could only wait and see.
That day, Geng Miaowan was sitting on the sofa in the living room reading the newspaper after finishing breakfast. She had finished reading the entire newspaper, but Qiu Pi still hadn't come down. She checked the time; it was already 8:30.
Qiu Pi is a person with a very strong biological clock; no matter what time he went to bed the night before, he would be at the restaurant promptly at seven o'clock the next morning. However, over the past month or so, he has gradually become somewhat lazy, often arriving late at night. This has become especially frequent recently.
Sure enough, he came downstairs around nine o'clock. Geng Miaowan noticed he didn't look well and asked, "What's wrong with you lately? You look so tired."
Yesterday he clearly said early on that he was tired and wanted to go back to his room to rest, but today he still looks like he hasn't had enough sleep.
Qiu Pi took a sip of porridge and replied casually, "It's nothing, I just haven't been sleeping well lately."
Geng Miaowan nodded and said nothing more. Just then, Xiaobai appeared out of nowhere, jumped onto her lap, and snuggled into her arms. She leaned back on the sofa, stroking it casually with one hand.
Within her sea of consciousness, her voice had already rang out the moment Xiaobai appeared, "So, did you discover anything?"
Night fell, and Jingling Mountain on the outskirts of the city was eerily quiet. Even the wind rustling through the leaves made no sound. A shadowy figure peered around furtively. The dim moonlight cast a long shadowy silhouette on him.
Feng Xiaotian stood there, his heart trembling.
This is a cemetery. Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, when there were no public cemeteries, everyone who died in the neighborhood was buried here. Standing in this place, he felt as if many eyes were secretly watching him, which made him feel uneasy.
There are many legends about this place among the locals. Whether the legends are true or false, the people of the city never come here after nightfall.
As he was thinking, a hand suddenly landed on his shoulder, followed by a somewhat mournful voice, "Brother...you're blocking my way..."
Feng Xiaotian yelled "Ah!" and jumped far away, not daring to look back. He kept saying with his eyes closed, "Big brother, big brother... I... I was just passing by, I didn't mean to..."
However, there was no further movement behind him. He turned around shakily and saw Geng Miaowan standing there with a smile on her face. When she saw him turn to look at her, her smile widened.
Peng Yuxian and Xu Ruwen stood behind her, both with smiles on their faces.
Feng Xiaotian breathed a huge sigh of relief, but at the same time felt embarrassed and ashamed of being teased. He said somewhat angrily, "Geng Miaowan, don't you know that scaring someone can be terrifying!"
"Now I know," she said calmly, surprised that he was so timid.
"You..." He was about to yell at her, but then he remembered where they were and quickly lowered his voice, saying, "Why are you only arriving now?"
"There's no other way. We can only come out after Qiu Pi falls asleep, and we also have to avoid his spies," Xu Ruwen said. "It's already a miracle that we can come out at all."
Peng Yuxian clearly had no interest in small talk and went straight to the point, "What do you mean by calling us here?"
Feng Xiaotian made a "shh" gesture and led them into the cemetery. After walking for about a few minutes, Feng Xiaotian stopped.
In the middle of the cemetery, there was a special open space, not very large, with a tombstone standing there. Unlike the ones they saw from the outside, this tombstone was obviously much newer.
Even so, this is only a relatively new tombstone, and there's nothing particularly special about it.
Geng Miaowan looked at Feng Xiaotian in confusion, "You made us come here in the middle of the night just to see this tombstone?" Even Peng Yuxian and Xu Ruwen looked at him with suspicion.
He winked mysteriously and said, "You'll find out soon enough." (To be continued.)
