Chapter 115 Office

"Master, I will transfer the money to your account as soon as I get back. Thank you for your trouble this time."

After getting on the bus, Pei Changming brought up the matter himself.

"There's no rush. You can observe for a few more days if you wish."

With the matter completely resolved, Shen Qingzhou wasn't in a hurry. He believed that the other party would never renege on their debt.

Moreover, the biggest gain from this trip to Dingjia Village was the mirror in my pocket.

This mirror is actually similar in concept to the painting that Su Xi took away, but the principle behind it is completely different.

Shen Qingzhou's painting incorporates his own essence, spirit, and even a part of his soul, and can be understood as his alter ego, similar to the method of creating Horcruxes in Harry Potter.

This painting is actually a soul weapon unique to Shen Qingzhou.

This was also one of his backup plans.

But this mirror is different. The female ghost used a process of immersion to turn the mirror into part of her body, and then left a seed so that no matter where the mirror was taken, she could reach the location of the mirror through the mirror.

This is somewhat similar to the Flying Thunder God Technique from Naruto.

If Shen Qingzhou could fully analyze this ability, he would not only gain a life-saving skill, but also the ability to teleport instantly.

Shen Qingzhou put his hands in his pockets, touched the smooth surface of the mirror, and turned to look at Old Man Chen who was driving next to him.

"Hey old man Chen, what brings you all this way? Don't tell me you're here because you're beautiful and kind and want to help us?" Shen Qingzhou teased maliciously.

"No, no..." Old Chen pretended to be angry.

But he seemed to realize that this wasn't very convincing, so he added, "Although I work in this industry, I've never actually seen a ghost, and I don't really believe in them, so I wanted to come along and learn something new."

He spoke very sincerely, but not only Shen Qingzhou, but even Pei Changming and his son didn't believe his nonsense.

Nobody would believe that.

However, Shen Qingzhou didn't delve into it. Everyone has secrets, so why ask so many questions?

They walked in silence. Shen Qingzhou closed his eyes to rest, and Old Man Chen took him directly to the office building.

As soon as I got out of the car, I saw Curly-haired Girl pacing downstairs with her hands behind her back, while Xiao Qiu and Wu Ying were playing around nearby.

Upon seeing Shen Qingzhou return, the curly-haired girl's face immediately lit up with joy, and she rushed over in a few steps. "Where did you go this afternoon? Are you angry with me... uh..."

Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly grabbed my hand, her expression strange. "Why do you look so pale? Did you go out fooling around?"

"Yes." Shen Qingzhou nodded honestly.

I did indeed spend the afternoon with ghosts.

Curly-haired girl pouted in dissatisfaction upon hearing this.

"Hey bro, what's 'hanging out'? Is it fun? Can I go 'hanging out' with you?"

Xiao Qiu poked her little head out from behind the curly-haired girl.

"Woof woof..." Wu Ying ran over and rubbed against Shen Qingzhou's leg.

Shen Qingzhou laughed heartily, reached out to pat Xiao Qiu's head, then rubbed Wu Ying's dog head before striding upstairs.

But the stairs that I usually climb with ease, I felt breathless after climbing only half of them.

"Damn it, the money is too little."

Shen Qingzhou sat on the steps, panting heavily, feeling extremely weak.

"Look at the state you're in now. I'm not trying to control you, but you need to be more careful and not ruin your health..." The curly-haired girl said with concern, not forgetting to give him a nudge.

However, her words reminded Shen Qingzhou that he needed to find someone to properly "nourish" him.

Curly-haired Girl is definitely out of the question; she's a ghost, and we don't want to get rid of her.

Thinking of this, he looked up at the stairs; Jiang Xinyue hadn't left work yet.

"You're so annoying. Oh right, there's a bonfire party by the river tonight. Why don't you take Xiao Qiu to have some fun? I just want to go back and eat, and then go to sleep..." Shen Qingzhou said.

Curly-haired Girl didn't really want to go, but when Xiao Qiu heard about it, her big, bright eyes stared at her, and she felt too embarrassed to refuse.

So the two ghosts and the dog went downstairs again.

However, as Wu Ying went downstairs, she barked at Shen Qingzhou a few times.

Damn, is this dog too smart?

Shen Qingzhou pondered this question, thankfully it couldn't speak, otherwise he would have to consider whether to make it mute.

When Shen Qingzhou returned to the office, Jiang Xinyue was in the kitchen. Hearing the noise, she peeked out and, seeing it was Shen Qingzhou, immediately smiled and said, "You're back! Do you want me to heat up your dinner?"

"What are you doing?"

"There aren't many leftovers from lunch, I'll cook you another one," Jiang Xinyue said.

But after she finished speaking, she heard no sound. Just as she was about to turn around, her body stiffened because a pair of large hands pressed down on her snowflakes.

"I'm a little injured and I'd like to ask you for a favor."

Shen Qingzhou's voice rang in her ear, his breath tickling her earlobe and stirring a strange feeling within her, making her feel hot all over.

She turned her head slightly and saw that Shen Qingzhou's face was extremely pale, which made her more worried. "Should we see a doctor?"

"You are the best doctor."

Shen Qingzhou pulled her shirt out from under her pencil skirt, then reached inside...

"I...I'll turn off the heat..."

"Not here...go to the room..."

"No need, this place is just fine..."

"Xiao Qiu..."

"Xiao Qiu went to the riverbank."

"Ah~"

With a long sigh, the long-deprived wilderness was met with a violent storm.

……

"Liar, big liar..."

The curly-haired girl stomped into the house in a huff.

"You're lying." Xiao Qiu also looked indignant.

Then the two ghosts fell silent instantly. The curly-haired girl looked back and forth between Shen Qingzhou and Jiang Xinyue with suspicion, feeling that something was not right.

Jiang Xinyue looked radiant and full of springtime joy.

Shen Qingzhou, who had been pale and trembling, was now radiant.

It seems the two of them are collaborating on a large project.

Xiao Qiu was also surprised, "Mom, you haven't gotten off work yet?"

"Mom will have dinner here and wait for you to go back together," Jiang Xinyue said with a smile.

"Oh, oh, Mom, you're so good," Xiao Qiu said happily, then snuggled into Jiang Xinyue's arms.

"You're lying, there's no party or anyone by the river, just the wind, howling..."

"Haha, maybe I remembered it wrong. I'll definitely look carefully next time," Shen Qingzhou said with a smile.

The curly-haired girl sidled up to Shen Qingzhou and sniffed him incessantly like a puppy.

She could smell Jiang Xinyue's scent, but since they were under the same roof, it seemed reasonable for her to have a bit of the other person's scent on her.

"How did you recover so quickly?" she asked suspiciously.

"You'll find out tonight," Shen Qingzhou said with a smile.

"Strange and mysterious."

She said that, but as soon as Jiang Xinyue left with Xiao Qiu, she couldn't help but ask again.

Then she finally understood why.

"Beast...scoundrel..."

My body is really too weak. After eating the main course, I need to eat some dessert to get enough sugar.
