Chapter 147 The Living Ghost
Song Qinian briefly exchanged greetings with Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen, but he insisted not to follow everyone back to Shen's house.
"I can do it by myself." His eyes, eroded by time, were red.
Originally, Qin Yan commented that he was well-maintained and did not look like the same age as Mr. Shen, but now he looks more vicissitudes than Mr. Shen.
He forced a smile and said, "I want to go to a crowded place and stand at any intersection to watch people coming and going."
“It feels like there won’t be too much space around you.”
Ran Ran wanted to say that even if his body was busy, his soul would still be lonely. If he wanted to truly enrich his life, he had to focus on himself.
But she said nothing.
She is sane, but she cannot ask a person to stay sane immediately after experiencing such a thing.
In the end, she and Qin Yan sent Song Qinian out of the manor in silence, watching his figure gradually disappear into the light mist.
Qin Yan looked at Song Qinian's back and murmured softly.
"We're actually going to separate..."
Qin Yan quickly shook his head, "Of course not... This is too abrupt! I just didn't expect to separate so soon..."
What he practiced was the etiquette of Xuanmen. Ran Ran had only seen it in books before and didn't realize it for a while.
Ranran withdrew his gaze and turned his gaze to the east.
"If I could, I wish none of this had happened."
At this time, the sky was gradually getting clearer, and the sun with its golden light was rising little by little. Wherever it went, the white mist receded, but it had not yet shone on Ran Ran.
Qin Yan saluted Ran Ran, "This cooperation is very pleasant. I will not reveal a word to my father if I shouldn't say it. I hope to see Miss Ran Ran again in the future."
Soon she and Shen Dinghai reunited smoothly, and the five of them returned to Shen's house together.
"No." Qin Yan smiled bitterly. He felt like a tool that he would throw away after use.
After Ran Ran confirmed to Qin Yan that the corpses in the manor would be properly placed, she calmly said her farewell words.
Shen Dinghai glanced at Wu Pannan, who was sitting alone in the corner, and walked over by accident.
"It's almost dawn."
Shen Dinghai's urgent shout came from behind. Ranran stretched out her hand and waved the white mist around her, and followed Shen Dinghai's voice.
Qin Yan didn't mind at all, he just smiled and waved to Ran Ran. He turned and left, and his figure gradually disappeared into the white mist.
But he didn't think there was anything unusual about Ran Ran. After experiencing something like this, everyone will be affected by negative emotions.
Ran Ran narrowed her eyes, and her words contained no emotion.
Qin Yan was startled and seemed to have no reaction. He stared at Ran Ran in a daze with his eyes.
In the car, Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen looked at the transformed Ran Ran in amazement and talked happily.
Ran Ran frowned and looked at him to confirm, "Is there anything else that requires my cooperation?"
Ran Ran frowned, "Do you want to go back to the Shen family with us?"
"Why don't you sit over there?"
Wu Pannan gave him a cold look, "Why should I sit over there?"
"Well, what a rhetorical question. It's a philosophical question." Shen Dinghai said as he sat down next to her despite Wu Pannan's disgusted face.
Wu Pannan sneered, "Do you think I need the sympathy of a wretch like you?"
Shen Dinghai pursed his lips, "Why am I such a wretch?"
She snorted and turned away from looking at Shen Dinghai, "I don't know who lives a miserable life, drinking and getting drunk. No one in the family can talk, and they have to go to outsiders to complain."
Shen Dinghai blushed, "Then...how can Uncle Song be considered an outsider? He is also my family!"
Wu Pannan said coolly: "Then you are confessing the fact that your life is miserable."
"We all have to learn from my cousin and not lie." After speaking, Shen Dinghai glanced at Wu Pannan quickly, "But I'm really not too depressed." "My life is already generous and smooth, and my troubles are gone. These are just minor annoyances.”
He smiled at Wu Pannan, showing his white teeth, "So don't worry about me."
A handsome smiling face suddenly appeared in front of him, "Do you know you look ugly when you smile?" Wu Pannan lowered his eyes and did not look up again.
"I'm not worried about you. If you have time to think about these messy things, why not get rid of your self-centeredness as soon as possible."
Shen Dinghai blinked, "But I feel your concern."
Wu Pannan said no more, and a peaceful silence flowed between the two of them.
Suddenly, Wu Pannan spoke: "If I disappeared like Tao Yao, would you worry about me?"
Her voice sounded calmer than ever before, inevitably making people feel gentle, and even somewhat close to Shen Mingzhu's original pronunciation.
Shen Dinghai was stunned for a moment, "What a stupid question."
Wu Pannan turned around, with a certain stubbornness in his eyes that Shen Dinghai couldn't understand, "So, will you?"
"Of course I will! Otherwise, why would I save you from Qin Yan! I could just let you disappear."
Wu Pannan turned his head again when he got the answer, not looking at Shen Dinghai.
There was a little tenderness in her eyes, "It turns out it feels so good to be cared about."
But her soft murmur was not heard by Shen Dinghai.
Shen Dinghai felt confused, "What is your reaction?"
Wu Pannan suppressed the smile on his lips and said casually: "What reaction? What reaction do you expect from me?"
Shen Dinghai was furious, "You asked me the question, and I gave you the answer. Why don't you give me any feedback?"
Wu Pannan twitched his lips, "Do you want me to thank you gratefully for caring about me?"
Before Shen Dinghai could say anything, she spoke first.
The tone was calm and cruel.
"You and I both know that there will be a day when I disappear, right? Or do you want to rehearse this situation here?"
Shen Dinghai opened his mouth and was speechless.
He suddenly lost the courage to continue to enlighten Wu Pannan. He didn't even dare to look at her.
This behavior is like showing a terminally ill patient how beautiful the world is.
Little did she know that the more beautiful it was, the crueler it would be to the patient, because she knew she would never have the chance to see it again.
After a while, Shen Dinghai made a weak voice, "Maybe... maybe it can't dissipate?"
He seemed afraid that Wu Pannan would interrupt, and said hurriedly: "You are a good ghost, a really good ghost."
"You have stayed in Zhuzhu's body for so long, and you have never thought about harming her and taking away her body. Even the wear and tear of time has not aggravated the evil thoughts in your heart. These can prove that you are a good ghost!"
"An'an Taoyao has disappeared. I can't do anything to change this, but you are still there..."
Shen Dinghai looked at Wu Pannan with red eyes, "Can't I do something to keep you alive?"
"You have suffered enough before, why do you still have to suffer now..."
The corners of Wu Pannan's lips trembled. She quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes by flipping her hair, and spoke pretending not to care.
"I am a ghost. How can I live?"
"Besides, being saved by a little girl is not a punishment. It's a good thing that many ghosts can't even imagine."
"The little girl is so good, she must also be able to sing the song of the afterlife very well. Don't worry about this. The only serious thing is to fulfill my wish as soon as possible."
Wu Pannan tightened her palms, not wanting her voice to reveal her choking.
"Fulfill your wish and I won't bother you anymore."
If the body sheds tears because of her feelings, then why can't she be considered alive?
