Volume 3, Chapter 68: Returning to Su Hua
TL: flarewk
Have Xiao Yu really changed back to normal already......I kept asking that myself yesterday repetitively, even now as well.
"Xiao Yu, I'll be going first, after graduation I'll definitely return here."
"Mm, have a safe trip gege, and remember to come back to play during the winter holidays okay~"
When I left the house door, Xiao Yu bade me farewell, and although from whatever perspective you looked, Xiao Yu seemed to be very normal, but I just had the feeling that something wasn't quite right.
In my memory, she wasn't that kind of person who would compromise so easily, and at the very least will pull on me not letting me go, or maybe just knocking me unconscious and imprisoning me for a few more days.
"Xiao Yu, are you thinking of any bad ideas at all......."
"Where did I, am I that kind of person, gege you're too much already; actually suspecting your meimei !"
"No, I don't mean it that way, my meaning is that you really would let me go just like that?"
"Yup, otherwise what else would I do, since we'll still see each other in the future as well, unless gege wants to go overseas with me, which I'm really welcoming onto it."
"Mm, it's nothing then, that's good."
So Xiao Yu finally had learnt to behave already huh, being a gege I'm really delighted now.
"Xiao Yu, goodbye, I'm always proud to have a meimei like you!"
I stroked her head one last time, and was just about to leave the house door when the hem of my shirt was being pulled by Xiao Yu.
"Not gonna give me a little farewell gift?"
Turning around, I noticed that she had already tiptoed, and placed her face forward in front of me, while using her fingers to point towards her cheeks.
"What age are you already, still wanting to do these......don't you feel embarrassed at all."
"Then gege's meaning is not gonna give, right?"
"Of course, you're already such a grown up, and it's not like as if we're still young, you....."
I was about to turn around and leave, when suddenly Xiao Yu leapt forward and bit me onto my cheeks, that's right, it's bit, not kiss.
"Hehee, that's my farewell gift, alright~"
Helplessly sighing, I took out my phone to substitute as a mirror and looked at the bite marks onto my face, with a depressed feeling within my heart, there's still last night's bite marks remaining on my arms too.
"Lao ge, good byee~!"
"Mm, bye bye!"
Closing the entrance doors of my home, Xiao Yu's events finally had a conclusive ending, and what's next when returning to Su Hua remained the malicious final exams waiting for me, it's really.....whenever I thought of that, I felt my chest rather tightened, breaths being shortened, my body entirety feeling really uncomfortable, it's like a pair of invisible huge hands tightly wrapping around my neck, which made me really breathless.
Hold on.....I suddenly realized that I really had this kind of feeling, and it's extremely realistic as well.....I actually really felt that my breathing had started not to be even already.
"Zhang childe......where's the Han clothing?"
A voice suddenly popped up within my brain, it's Yè Zǐ's, and Han clothing.....Hanclothing......
I've left the Han clothing behind at that factory still......
"Miss Yè, calm down.....I'll go look for it immediately...."
I mumbled to myself, hopefully she should be able to listen to it......
"Mm, quickly then, once I've attached onto a person for too long, I won't be able to come off....."
"I'll move right away, oh yeah, where have you been to all these while........"
"Sleeping of course, you thought that forming my physical appearance was easy huh, other than every year's 15th on the 7th month I'll be able to form my physical appearance once without any requirements, the rest of the time I only can form myself at night....and because my grave was at Ye Ming Island, so the constraints I received was slightly smaller."
"So it's like that huh......."
I've actually really forgot about this, that Han clothing was probably on the underground basement's bed still; and at that time when I saw it in the staircase, I just picked it up and casually placed it onto my bed, afterwhich things became too messy, which made me completely forgot about it.
Giving Prez and the rest of them a call, I was informed that they were waiting at the airport for me, and my mouth kept repeatedly apologizing as I asked them to wait slightly a little longer for me, just like that, I rushed towards the factory by myself.
I actually didn't know where the factory was at all, but luckily Yè Zǐ knew the way, and I spent one plus hour to finally reach the abandoned factory that Xiao Yu imprisoned me before.
Returning back to that underground basement, the Han clothing was indeed still on the bed. I folded the Han clothing and kept it properly while on the bed, and hadn't the chance to leave when the entrance doors suddenly closed, probably due to the wind blowing.
I don't know why, but right now I had half the mindset to laugh, and another half wanting to cry.....
I'm doomed, I've imprisoned myself.....
Taking out my phone and glancing towards it, there wasn't any signal at all.....
As for the GPS that Prez gave me, I've returned it to her long ago.
What should I do right now.....
I'm afraid that the only way would be to pluck out another bed legging to continue digging a hole, my life's really miserable...... and suddenly, I remembered about Yè Zǐ.
"Yè Zǐ.....can you help me to open the doors awhile?"
"It's very tiring to form my physical appearance......."
"But......if this goes on then I'll be in deep trouble!"
"All right, all right, I just needed a bit more energy to form my physical appearance, so I'll just suck yours......"
"Suck mine......how?"
(TL: ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°).........(⌐□_□)....)
"It's quite simple, don't say anymore, first take off your clothes....."
"What, still needing to take off my clothes, no way, I, Zhang Jian is absolutely not that kind of person, I'd rather conscientiously go dig a hole!"
In all the ghost stories that I've seen before, the so-called spirit sucking energy would be those kinds of things already, right....... especially for female spirits, I definitely won't allow it to happen!
"Where have you been thinking about, I've attached onto your body, but since your clothes had been shone on by the sun, I can't come out as a result, so if you don't take off your clothes, how would I be able to come out!!"
"Can I just take off my upper shirt only?"
"No way, any portion that was being shone on by the sun must be removed entirely, or you could wait till after the sun had set too."
"Damn it, then there's no choice then, you're not allowed to peek, alright!"
I shyly removed off my upper shirt, but Yè Zǐ's voice once again resounded within my brain.
"Do I need to? I've completely and thoroughly saw everything of your body already."
"Did you know, at this modern times that's already an punishable offence, what you're doing is peeping!"
I didn't realize that I've already been entirely seen by Yè Zǐ........eyy, my purity is at stake here.
"And afterwards? How are you going to punish me, noon execution*? Hanging? Corpse splitting by five horses*? I'm not afraid~"
Oh right, I've forgotten that Yè Zǐ had already died....so what was she still afraid of right now......
"Punishment by sun exposure!"
"Then you'll just accompany me here and become a gathering of lingering affectionlike me together then."
"It's my loss...... um....do I need to take this off as well?"

15th of the 7th month = This refers to the date of the Hungry Ghosts festival of the chinese, where it is believed that the gates of hell would open for the entire month afterwards, allowing ghosts to visit their relatives or haunt around earth. I burn incense paper during that festival to my grandparents.....

crow's mouth = subtly meaning unlucky mouth. It's meaning was that you said something unlucky and it would really occur. Crows are believed to be unlucky animals due to their black color and their inaugural appearance whenever something bad happens. (Plus their ominous-like sounds too)
