That night, perhaps because I had easily agreed to the ghost's request, I felt a bit scared and, for the first time, didn’t argue with Su Anrong. Surprisingly, we managed to coexist peacefully and slept through the night.
However, I woke up in the morning with a terrible sore neck from sleeping awkwardly.
At that moment, my phone started ringing insistently.
"Suanyuan, quickly help me answer the phone."
As soon as the call connected, Teacher Deng's voice came through like a hen laying an egg. "Youmai Vegetable, are you even going to school anymore? Look how long it’s been since you last attended class! I didn’t hold it against you before because of your mental health issues, but now that you’re fine, why are you still being reckless? Do you even want your graduation certificate?"
"I don’t mind not having it," Su Anrong said coldly.
"Ah! I want it! I want it!" Suddenly, I was wide awake, and my neck pain vanished. Feeling refreshed, I quickly snatched the phone from Su Anrong's hand. "Teacher Deng, I promise I’ll go to class today. Don’t worry about it. You can keep the graduation certificate for now; just make sure to give it to me later!"
"Who was just saying they didn’t want it?"
"No one said that! You must have misheard!" I glared at Su Anrong. "Do you have any idea how important that graduation certificate is to me? If you keep talking nonsense, I'll punch you!" I made a fist at him.
He shrugged nonchalantly and said, "Anyway, you won’t be staying on Earth much longer."
"Shh!" I quickly covered the phone's microphone and lowered my voice. "Shut up! Don’t say anything else."
"Youmai Vegetable, illegal cohabitation is not allowed, especially since you're still a student," Teacher Deng clearly heard Su Anrong's voice.
Ignoring my protests, Su Anrong stubbornly grabbed the phone from my hand and smiled. "Hello, teacher. I'm Youmai Vegetable's husband. We're legally cohabiting, so there's no need for concern." With that, he hung up the phone.
"You... you..." I was so furious that I couldn't find the words.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Siyuan!" she shouted from outside. "Wheat, can you take me to class later?"
"I'll take you both," Su Anrong interjected before I could respond.
I quickly got out of bed and opened the door. "Siyuan, if you go to school like this, what will happen if someone sees you?"
"Wheat, I don't have much time. I can't worry about that right now. If I get caught, I'll just say I'm Chen Siyuan's cousin, visiting your school."
"That's all we can do." Su Anrong had already dressed and was at the door. She said to us, "I'll take you to school later. Son, starting today, you'll stick with your mommy. You are not allowed to leave her side for even a moment unless I say so, understand?"
Rice dashed out of the kitchen, excitement written all over his face. "Daddy, really? I can stay with Mommy all the time now?"
"Don't show yourself in front of humans."
"Yes, Daddy."
After arriving at school, I noticed the surrounding girls were all enviously staring as I got out of Su Anrong's car.
"I really can't understand how Lord Zunshang could fall for a woman like that. Just look at her—no beauty, no figure, and her grades are at the bottom. How did she get so lucky?"
"Ah, Lord Zunshang is compassionate and helps the weak; we should understand that."
Understand my foot! You're the one who's both poor and weak!
Just as I was about to scold those gossiping girls, Su Anrong suddenly reached out and pulled my head back into the car, then pressed a passionate kiss on my lips.
"Don't mind what others think."
I felt a bit dazed, nodding foolishly amidst the jealous whispers of the girls.
"I'll go meet that Old Ghost first and have lunch together. Don't let anyone else take you away."
"You need to eat too," I asked in confusion.
"To keep you company."
Well, considering that having a handsome guy around would greatly satisfy my vanity, I reluctantly agreed.
Chen Siyuan was wearing a mask today. As soon as we got off the car, he immediately parted ways with me to find Qiao Lianjiu.
I brought the Rice that no one could see into the classroom. Gao Lele and Fang Xiaonan happily welcomed me, pulling me to my seat, sitting on either side of me.
"Wheat, you finally came to class! I've been wanting to ask you about what happened over the weekend. How did that monk die? Why did Siyuan's mother become a vegetable? And also, what happened with that woman who lay on the tracks? Oh right, and..."
Fang Xiaonan bombarded me with questions like a machine gun. With so many inquiries, it was quite difficult for me to come up with lies to cover them all; my brain just couldn't generate that many stories.
So I decided to tell them the truth.
"All of this can be summed up with one explanation: there are ghosts in this world."
The two of them were taken aback. Gao Lele looked at me disdainfully and said, "Are you kidding me? Is it really okay to say stuff like this in Political Education Class? Be careful or the teacher might hear and give you a failing grade."
I grabbed their heads and pulled them close under the desk. I whispered, "Let me tell you something: some things exist if you believe in them, and they still exist even if you don't believe. So it doesn't matter whether you believe or not."
As soon as I finished speaking, I was met with a flurry of hits from both of them. Fang Xiaonan's voice was soft, even when she was angry it remained gentle. "Wheat, I know you're afraid of being labeled a murderer, so..."
"I told you it was a ghost, yet you still think I'm a murderer? How could a weak girl like me possibly kill that monk?" Fang Xiaonan warned, "If you keep talking nonsense, I might just let the ghost bite you."
Fang Xiaonan pouted and said with a hint of grievance, "Alright, I won't say anything more. Just stop scaring us; we don't believe in such ridiculous things as ghosts."
"Then why were you so obedient on the train, not speaking or opening your eyes?" I couldn't stand these two women; they took advantage and then played innocent.
Gao Lele's response nearly made me spit blood. "That's because I didn't want to be foolish with you guys. I was tired and just fell asleep. Is there a problem with that?"
"Fell asleep," they had indeed been asleep at that time.
Fine, I concede.
Suddenly, Fang Xiaonan's pupils dilated in terror as she stared out the window.
Both Gao Lele and I jumped in surprise. Was Rice trying to scare us again?
I looked outside but didn’t see Rice; instead, there was a boy standing there looking at us. He seemed somewhat familiar—probably a classmate from one of the big lectures.
To my surprise, Gao Lele panicked upon seeing him and grabbed my hand. "Wheat, hurry and run out the back door! We'll help you later."
I was completely taken aback as they pushed me toward the back door.
"Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing? I finally wanted to be a good student and attend class properly. Why are you pushing me out?"
At that moment, the boy outside noticed our commotion and quickly made his way into the classroom.
"Wheat, your memory is terrible! That's the guy you hit last time! Oh no, oh no! How did he get out of the hospital so quickly? Is he here for revenge?"
I went to confront my enemy.
At this moment, if I didn't run, when would I? Clearly, I couldn't take him on.
I quickly opened the back door, ready to escape. However, as soon as I opened it, a boy blocked my way with one leg. At the same time, a voice came from behind me.
"Why are you running so fast, Youmai Vegetable?"
There was no way to escape now, so I had to brace myself. I turned around with a forced smile and said, "You think too much. I just suddenly felt nauseous and wanted to step outside for a moment."
Fang Xiaonan and Gao Lele were anxious, almost stomping their feet as they tugged at my arm.
The boy's expression changed immediately; his eyes, nose, and mouth all radiated anger. He had bandages wrapped around his arms, and the scars on his face were still visible. I hadn't seen him clearly through the window earlier, but now that I did, he looked remarkably like a potato that had been accidentally dug up with a hoe.
Thinking about how this person had sent me those sleazy messages made me want to kick him into oblivion. But Su Anrong had told me that no matter what happened in the next few days, I must avoid conflicts. A shiver ran down my spine as I forced a smile and said:
"Hehe, just kidding! Don't take it to heart, big brother."
"How could I be offended? A fierce woman like you must be just as fierce in bed. Why not keep me company tonight? We can forget about the past."
