Chapter 115: Is It That You Can't Bear to Part with Your Sister?

~9 min read 1,673 words

Tian Erdai felt something was off.

He glanced at his phone; the call hadn't been hung up yet, and he woodenly picked it up, put it to his ear, and asked.

"Mr. Chen, do you know what's going on?"

On the other end of the phone, that Mr. Chen actually gave an answer that he found a bit inconceivable.

"Just now, I had originally finished the matter and planned to give you a call to notify you.

But unexpectedly, while calling you I had a feeling in my heart, so I cast a divination! The divination symbol shows a problem on your end; your Red Chaos Star is moving, but this Red Chaos qi carries danger, Yin energy gloomy — not a good thing……"

Cast a divination, divination symbol.

This kind of relatively obscure terminology suddenly appearing in the phone call made one somewhat unadapted.

Seeing that Mr. Chen on the other end of the phone wasn't speaking straightforwardly enough, Tian Erdai simply asked: "You mean that woman isn't human?"

"……"

The other end of the phone fell silent for two seconds: "Although I really want to say believe in science, reality forces me to tell you.

The one who spent the spring night with you is indeed non-human, but of course she doesn't count as a true ghost either; she's a kind of Peach Blossom Nightmare.

Ever heard of Ghost Pressing Bed?"

Tian Erdai hurriedly replied: "Heard of it; they say you fall asleep then suddenly wake up startled, yet find your body unable to move no matter what.

Want to wake up, but just can't wake up no matter what — that kind?"

On the other end of the phone, Chen Yaozu confirmed his guess: "Right!

That's a Nightmare!

And yours is a Peach Blossom Nightmare; in traditional terms, that's a Seductive Ghost!

You agreed on a one-night fling; it should be over and done with.

As long as you don't look back and don't strike up a conversation when you leave, your karmic tie with her is severed.

If when you leave, you look back and talk to her, this Seductive Ghost can link up karma with you beyond the one-night fling.

Put plainly, she's latched onto you!

Like, sometimes in the middle of the night someone knocks on your door; if you don't open, those filthy things can't enter your house.

But if you open the door, that means you're allowing the other party to come in.

Similarly, after the one-night fling, you striking up a conversation with the Seductive Ghost means you intend to continue this kind of relationship with her.

That is, you yourself allow her to latch onto you from now on! Humans and ghosts walk different paths; a ghost together with a human will absorb his Yang qi, and in severe cases, might even be eaten!"

Reasonably speaking.

Hearing this, Tian Erdai should have felt fear, because he had just looked back and also spoken to her.

But he didn't say so on the phone; instead, while walking into the elevator he diverted the topic: "Mr. Chen, thanks! Right, you just said the call was because the feed company matter was settled, is that right?"

On the other end of the phone, Chen Yaozu didn't find it surprising that he suddenly changed the subject; the divination symbol had also hinted slightly that this matter wouldn't be so easily solved.

Since the other party wanted to change the subject, let nature take its course!

"Right, you said after settling the company you'd want the formula and contract from me, so I made a call."

Only then did Tian Erdai remember this matter:

"Okay, I'm heading home now; I'll send you the formula and contract!

I've just exited the elevator to the hotel lobby; Mr. Chen, I'm hanging up first!"

"Good!"

And Chen Yaozu across the ocean had a premonition things weren't over; that thing probably wouldn't let him go.

But no rush; this person's life shouldn't end.

Since that young second generation has his own little schemes, let him suffer a bit first.

Tian Erdai, coming out of the hotel, had a fragrant breeze lingering around him; he walked to his car, pulled open the door, and sat inside, but didn't start the car.

Instead, with an excited heart, using hands trembling slightly, he @-mentioned a few people in a "MIT East Alumni Group" of only twenty or thirty people.

"@FootControl @TianNuFishNotDoingProperBusiness @YeTing @YanJu @LandWithoutPeople @Chen San Shi Yi: Holy shit! Brothers, do you know what happened when your bro hooked up with a chick today? You absolutely can't imagine; it's too fucking thrilling! Beyond any of your imaginations!"

The originally silent and waveless alumni group suddenly seemed like someone threw a stone in; there were way too many people not sleeping late at night.

For example, @TianNuFishNotDoingProperBusiness hiding in bed watching borderline short videos in the middle of the night: "Thrilling?

Lao Tian, you hooked up with a chick and got a big bird cute girl?"

Tian Erdai replied: "Even more thrilling than that!"

Chen San Shi Yi, who had lurked for ten thousand years, indicated he gasped: "Hiss……"

Yan Ju: "Hiss……"

Ye Ting: "Hiss……" Zhou Xingchen won't drive: "Lao Tian, you didn't hook up with an underage one, right!

Check the ID before opening a room; under 14 means going to the station!"

Tian Erdai satisfied his vanity, then sent another: "Even more thrilling than this!"

With him saying that, everyone's appetite was instantly hooked.

These few people uniformly brushed expression packs, waiting for his next line.

Lao Tian organized his language, then opened with a question:

"Do you believe there are ghosts in this world? I didn't believe before! But today I believe!

Tonight, that divorced young woman I hooked up with actually turned out to be a Seductive Ghost!

And, I can very responsibly tell you, it was really awesome!

I now understand Ning Caichen a bit! Nie Xiaoqian Yyds!"

@FootControl: "Lao Tian, just how much did you drink?

Don't drive after drinking, don't drink if driving, careful not to drive the car into a ditch!"

Others chimed in one after another, saying it'd be best to call a designated driver; not a single person believed the ghost story he'd just told.

What kind of date with a girl turns into a date with a ghost, and he still feels pretty good about it.

"I'm telling the truth!"

Although Tian Erdai also knew what he said was inconceivable, he really wanted to share his current complex and rather smug mood with others.

Encountering such a strange thing, not letting him show off a bit would be more unbearable than killing him.

Hurriedly recounted what had just happened.

Yet the group members stubbornly refused to believe.

Especially someone from across the ocean who could know his situation with just one divination symbol — what are they thinking? The rarely seen @Land Without People in the group: "No pics, no truth; with pics, there's truth! Is the girl still with you? Take one so we can see, just which seductive ghost brought you this joy you're so eager to share with us? Let me see what a seductive ghost looks like!

How pretty is she?"

To tell the truth.

In Tian Erdai's eyes, the female ghost's scariness couldn't compare to a newly divorced young woman's ex-husband.

If the ex-husband cornered him and made a big scene, it might affect his father Comrade Lao Tian's career prospects, so he feared the so-called ex-husband.

After all, for Second Generations like them, the first thing is to be law-abiding and keep their heads down; even if you don't contribute, don't drag things down.

That kind of father-ruining Second Generation, his old man won't go far in officialdom either.

Someone who can't even teach their own children properly, how could they possibly have the ability to lead a team.

So, Lao Tian had just received a warning call and went out the door that fast, because he was worried this newly divorced young woman's ex-husband was still entangled with her and would come block the door.

If it weren't for worrying about causing bad influence, what the hell would he be afraid of!

Now, the one who came wasn't the ex-husband, but a ghost he'd dated himself.

What is a ghost? Worthy of making a socialist successor fear her?

Hearing the group members all doubting him, his emotions which hadn't settled down surged with hot blood in an instant.

The main thing was he wanted to show off!

Like someone who catches a thirty-to-forty-jin fish, if they don't wander around lost outside for a whole day, they basically can't find their way home.

"Fine, you all don't believe me, right!

No pics no truth, right? Then today I'll open your eyes! I'm starting a group livestream, taking you to go see!"

Tian Erdai, planning to broaden his friends' horizons, gritted his teeth and got out of the car, opened the group livestream, then walked back into the hotel...

The hotel lobby front desk girl looked strangely at this customer who had just gone out and come back, but didn't say anything, merely watching him hold up his phone and enter the elevator.

Tian Erdai, having exited the elevator, walked to the room door from just now while holding the livestreaming phone; he'd left in a rush just now and didn't have the key card on him.

However, he hadn't deadbolted it when he came out just now.

He stretched out his hand to try, see if he could open it; if not, he'd think again.

Hand on the doorknob, a twist and it actually opened.

Although he'd been mentally prepared, facing what might ultimately be a ghost, Tian Erdai holding the phone still felt a bit tense.

The moment he opened the door, the fragrant breeze on his body seemed to enter the room a step ahead of him.

"Little brother, you went and returned, is it that you can't bear to part with big sister?"
