73. I Have Seen a Ghost

Translator: 抹茶鸟

Falling dozens of meters for ordinary people, even the luckiest ones, was hardly different from the end of their lives.

On the same day, a video titled “The eldest son of a company executive committed suicide by jumping from a building” went viral online. The video wasn’t much longer than ten seconds-his body began wobbling and he was finally on the ground. The last scene, which was rather bloody, was covered with mosaic with good intentions.

After all, it was breaking news, and the relevant report was out the next day. The so-called “eldest son of the executive” was indeed real, and the executive here was exactly Mr. Liu, who was always playing around and kicking his lovers away after he had enough fun.

In a slightly teasing tone, the reporter said: “A few days ago, Liu’s family woke up and found something wrong with his mental state. He couldn’t understand or say anything. He would often sit alone and could not even eat without others feeding him. Mr. Liu was no longer able to manage the company and was sent to a nursing home by his family, so the heavy burden of running the family business naturally fell to his eldest son. Now his eldest son has passed away, it is indeed heartbreaking. Life is tough…”

They were even considerate enough to attach a picture, in which a good-looking young man was in a suit. The caption said “Liu Ming”.

Zhou Nan was so very absorbed and whispered, “Tut-tut… What a handsome little boy, why did you do that?”

As soon as this was said, Chen Ming switched off the TV very quickly. Zhou Nan turned around and saw Chen Ming throwing the remote away and looking quite irritated.

Zhou Nan blinked and asked innocently: “What’s wrong?”

“It’s okay.”, Chen Ming just wouldn’t admit it, “Your face is almost on the TV. That will hurt your eyes.”

“Are you jealous?” Zhou Nan got up to give Chen Ming a bear hug, but was hit by the pillow thrown by Chen Ming and was back to where he was.

Chen Ming snorted coldly, and his whole body was saying:”Don’t try touching me”.

“Don’t be jealous. You’re the only one I want.” Zhou Nan knew Chen Ming would want even sweeter words if he got some, so Zhou Nan simply switched the topic, “By the way, did Liu Ming become stupid for his soul was taken by the grieved baby?”

Chen Ming replied after a long while, with only a short “Mmm”.

“Then how did his eldest son die?” The more Zhou Nan thought about it, the more confused he was-his dad retired early, and he could naturally become the chief executive. Why did he commit suicide when he had a bright future?

Chen Ming replied slowly, “Didn’t you hear it from the news? He fell to death.”

Zhou Nan was choked with anger and threw the pillow in his arms towards Chen Ming’s face, “You think I don’t know that? I just think it is strange and ask if you could see something supernatural.”

Chen Ming reacted quickly, tilting his head and reaching out to block the pillow in advance, “It’s too far away, and it happened all of a sudden, I’m not that capable.”

As he spoke, there was a knock on the door. Someone was visiting the shop. However, instead of getting up to meet the customer, Chen Ming laid back languidly on the bed.

“Should you go and see?” Zhou Nan looked back at him. In the last few seconds, the knock on the door had become more urgent.

Chen Ming stretched out his waist, grabbed the Coal Ball at the side of the bed and rubbed his head against its fur, “It’s not easy to find a child worker at home. You should do that?” After that, he sneezed hard.

Allergic people should be careful when playing with the cat.

“How can you call a 20-year-old man a child? And you didn’t pay me.” Zhou Nan mumbled in his mouth, but he stood up and walked over.

“I take care of your pocket money and help you keep a cat!”

Before opening the door, Zhou Nan hid his displeasure in case he frightened the guests. When he regained his composure, he smiled and opened the door, and had already planned how to give a polite greeting. But when seeing the face of the coming person, he completely forgot about that and his head went blank.

Looking at the very stiff smile in front of him, the coming person didn’t take it seriously, “Excuse me, here…” But before he finished speaking, Zhou Nan slapped the door back, almost bumping the person’s nose. Zhou Nan could hear nothing even though the man outside was cursing fiercely.

“Why did you…  Atishoo! Why did you shut the door?” Chen Ming heard something was wrong and leaned out on the bed with a few cat hairs sticking to the bangs. He saw Zhou Nan’s face turned pale, but he didn’t care much. After all, this guy could become like this even when he heard the thunder.

“Chen Ming… I… I saw the ghost…”

Chen Ming gently snuffled, “Hey, unbelievable.”

Zhou Nan shook his head quickly and told Chen Ming that he was serious, “Outside… is Liu Ming who has just died!”
