Wei Yuan couldn't wait to call.
The ghost girl who could take his life at any time was like the Sword of Damocles hanging over his head, threatening his life at any moment.
"Du Xinghe, I can go on a long - distance trip right now. I've already informed my assistant. He'll send me the information about that ghost girl's family immediately."
There was a message alert sound over the phone. Wei Yuan's voice paused for a moment, as if he was checking. Then he said excitedly, "The woman's hometown isn't too far from Beijing. It's a county on the border of Yi Province. Come with me. It'll probably take a day to get there by car."
"Um..."
I thought for a while and felt a bit headache.
If the action to get rid of the ghost in Yi Province went smoothly, it shouldn't delay me from going to Hanyu Planning Company for work on Monday.
"What? Miss Du still doesn't trust me?"
Hearing the hesitation in my voice, Wei Yuan immediately said, "I definitely won't leak your whereabouts. And when you're out of town, you can just avoid that..."
I didn't finish listening to Wei Yuan's words when my phone was snatched away.
"A girl shouldn't go out of town with a stranger."
A deep and slightly smiling voice came from above my head. At the same time, a tall shadow covered me.
Instantly, all the hairs on my body stood up. Without thinking, I grabbed my backpack and tried to run away.
"Hey... Miss Du?"
At the entrance of the noodle restaurant, a tall and thin man was pushing open the glass door and walking in. Seeing me rushing out like the wind, he quickly tried to stop me.
It was Ji Chen. I saw that he was holding my suitcase in his hand.
"Get out of the way!"
I pushed Ji Chen hard and ran onto the street.
The scorching afternoon sun shone through the dense leaves of the street trees, leaving golden spots on the ground.
The cicadas' chirping was so noisy in the stuffy air that it made one annoyed.
I only ran two steps when I felt the scenery in front of me quickly covered with a layer of black mist. A sudden dizziness made me fall backward.
Woo! This damned hypoglycemia!
Because of Wei Yuan's call, I hadn't had time to eat. Standing up suddenly and running quickly immediately brought out the symptoms of hypoglycemia.
"Can you escape from my palm?"
A big hand had already supported my waist from behind and pulled me into his arms.
Si Jiangchen's slightly upturned peach - blossom eyes appeared in my sight.
"…Hey, hey, Si Jiangchen! I'm warning you! Du Xinghe is my person..."
Wei Yuan was still chattering on my phone.
Si Jiangchen's hand climbed up from my waist and held my chin. He moved the phone closer to my face.
"Xiao He, tell me..."
Holding me in an extremely ambiguous posture, his thumb that was holding my chin brushed over my lips. He laughed softly, "…Whose person are you?"
"Woo!"
I was almost ashamed and angry to death!
This was on the street. How could he do such... such a thing?
Wei Yuan's voice was still shouting something, but I couldn't hear what he was saying at all. My mind was full of the scene of Si Jiangchen bullying me in the villa at the foot of Miaofeng Mountain that day.
I thought I had forgotten it. But as soon as he touched me, the details of that "pornographic movie" automatically played in my mind.
"Get out of the way! Let go of me!"
My face was burning red. My heart was pounding so fast that it almost jumped out of my chest. I knew I should put on a righteous expression, but the weakness in my hands and feet caused by hypoglycemia made my struggle seem like I was just being coquettish to Si Jiangchen.
"Not going to say?"
Si Jiangchen bent down slightly and bit my earlobe. "I've actually been holding back for a long time."
Holding back... holding back what? Biting me? Or something else?!
His breath was like a terrifying and cold - blooded snake, making my neck shiver. Immediately, the melting body in my nightmare appeared in my mind...
"I have limited patience. I'll only count to three. Hmm?"
Seeing that I still struggled and refused to submit, Si Jiangchen issued his final ultimatum.
"Du Xinghe, don't be afraid of him. Where are you?!"
Wei Yuan's voice sounded like he wished he could crawl out of the phone.
"…Three!"
Si Jiangchen's deep voice rang out between my lips and teeth. On this busy street, he kissed my mouth!
"Woo...!!!"
I desperately grabbed his collar and wanted to open my mouth to question him. Didn't this bastard say he would count to three?
How could he go back on his word?
But he was so excessive that as soon as I opened my mouth, he entangled me. For a moment, my mind was like being filled with a big bucket of hot paste. I couldn't think of anything and couldn't ask anything. I could only let him lead all my senses and sink into the world of desire he deliberately created...
When I regained my senses, I had been stuffed into a car.
Because I went for an interview today, I rarely wore a white pointed - collar shirt and a dark - blue hip - hugging suit skirt.
Now, being held on Si Jiangchen's lap in an extremely shameful posture, the narrow hem of the skirt was almost digging into my flesh.
"It hurts so much..."
My lips were burning with pain. My waist was almost broken by him. I was both scared and angry. Seeing Si Jiangchen's fearless face, a strange sense of grievance welled up in my chest. I couldn't help covering my eyes and crying "woo - woo".
"Don't bully me... I'm so scared!!"
Thinking that my grandpa was still in the hospital and I was all alone, a feeling of loneliness and helplessness suddenly spread from the bottom of my heart.
Si Jiangchen put one hand on my waist and grabbed the hands that were covering my face. He forced me to look into his eyes. "Were you scared when you ran away?"
"Woo..." I turned my head and didn't dare to look at his face.
"Were you scared when you chased after that little star?" The hand on my waist tightened. I was almost pressed against his chest.
"The little star I sent you doesn't seem to suit your taste?"
His deep voice sounded right next to my neck.
I was shocked by his words. So that Song Yixuan was really Si Jiangchen's scheme?
"Why?! Did you know I lived there a long time ago?!"
I was forced to lean on his broad shoulder. The cold masculine breath mixed with a faint smell of tobacco tickled my heart, just like the smell that lingered on my body that night. When I asked the question, my heart ached again. "Why didn't you go there yourself?"
What I meant was that with his domineering personality, how could he bear someone's defection?
But the tone when I said it sounded like I was blaming the man for not coming to find me immediately... I regretted it so much that I wanted to bite off my own tongue.
Sure enough, Si Jiangchen misunderstood me. He raised his slender eyebrows, and his laughter came out from his nostrils. "I thought Xiao He liked fresh meat, not an old man like me..."
