Chapter 21: “She and Her Ghost(1)”

When Shen Xiaofan got home, her house was dark and there were only several maids greeting her as usual. After that, she went to her room upstairs and placed the white cat plushie next to her pillow. She looked at the plushie and was reminded of the rough days in her childhood.

"Today was somewhat even more tiring than usual…",

Shen Xiaofan threw herself into the bed and hugged the white cat plushie.

"Ah-Xiu…", she muttered the name of her lover, her first lover.

It was her first time to actually miss someone this much. Shen Xiaofan was the kind of girl who is used to loneliness, it's like a trait that she couldn't get rid of. However, ever since Wei Xiu came into her life, she began to feel more humane. She knew how it feels to get jealous, to love someone, and to be loved by someone. Without Wei Xiu, she won't be able to experience such wondrous feelings.

"Ah-Xiu… where are you…",

Shen Xiaofan slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep. She dreamed about her first meeting with Wei Xiu at the school's gymnasium…

Back then, they were just strangers who met under a strange event. A beautiful adult woman who cried at the school's gym for being betrayed by her lover. It was really strange, however, she was glad that she met her at that time.

"Ah-Xiu… thank you…", for being present in my life.

Wei Xiu who had just arrived at Shen Xiaofan's room was taken aback. When she came into her room, she found Shen Xiaofan was sleeping while hugging the plushie from Hou Yang. At first, she was a bit jealous, however, the second Shen Xiaofan was calling her name and thanking her, had made her feel sweet.

"Sleep tight, my love.", Wei Xiu kissed Shen Xiaofan on her lips, then stayed right beside her.

…

...

It was midnight when Shen Xiaofan finally woke up. Usually, a maid will come to remind her if her parents had come home. The fact that no one woke her up means her parents were working until late again.

"Are you awake?",

Shen Xiaofan was wiping her eyes and looked at Wei Xiu who had been sitting on the edge of her bed. Shen Xiaofan didn't know how long Wei Xiu had been there, but she's glad to see her.

"Yeah, today was pretty tiring. How long have you been waiting?",

"It's not like I'm waiting.", Wei Xiu paused, then she used her spiritual power to fix Shen Xiaofan's bed hair, "I like watching you sleep peacefully.",

Shen Xiaofan let Wei Xiu fix her hair, she closed her eyes and felt comfortable. However, she noticed that something was wrong…

Wei Xiu, who is usually talkative is suddenly pretty quiet today, is her battery running out?

Wei Xiu chuckled and retracted her hand, "What do you think who I am? Doraemon?",

Shen Xiaofan smiled coquettishly and said, "No, you are Wei Xiu.",

Wei Xiu was surprised to see Shen Xiaofan acting like a sluggish cat. She had a pricking feeling inside her heart, the moment she realized it, she had already pushed Shen Xiaofan on the bed while kissing her.

"Mnn…",

Shen Xiaofan was taken aback, she didn't know what Wei Xiu wanted to do. Though she was surprised she didn't feel uncomfortable. In fact, a new feeling has arisen from her heart, and she wanted to do more.

Wei Xiu could hear everything from Shen Xiaofan's mind, she chuckled upon hearing it and began to undress Shen Xiaofan.

"Xiaofan, is your chest grown again?", Wei Xiu teased.

"Really? No wonder the usual bra felt more suffocated than usual.",

"You're growing up so fast, would I be dating a nanny in the future?",

"...Will you still be there when that happens?",

Wei Xiu became speechless, she had died last year and should have gone to the cycle of reincarnation. However, she didn't… she chose to stay and in fact become a naughty ghost. Shen Xiaofan was right, it's not Shen Xiaofan who couldn't stay… in fact, it was her all along.

"Do you want me to stay here forever?", Wei Xiu asked, she didn't know what she was expecting for asking such a question.

Shen Xiaofan was silent, it took her quite a while to finally say, "I wish you to go to the afterlife. After all, it's not good for you to stay any longer. Who knows what the Gods said about our relationship?",

"So, are you giving up?",

"Should I commit suicide?", Shen Xiaofan asked seriously.

Wei Xiu shook her head and said, "No, don't. They won't let you go to the cycle of reincarnation if you deliberately end your life.",

"Then… will you wait for me?",

Shen Xiaofan looked at Wei Xiu in fixation, her round eyes seem to have small sparks in them, as if she was hoping for something. Wei Xiu smiled and patted Shen Xiaofan's head fondly, "Of course I do.",

After hearing such a response, Shen Xiaofan hugged Wei Xiu and buried her face on her neck. Then, she muttered, "I really love you, Ah-Xiu.",

Wei Xiu blushed upon hearing such an honest and direct confession. To be honest, Wei Xiu thought Shen Xiaofan was just a push-over person, and was going out with her because she asked so. However, her words earlier confirmed that their relationship was formed out of love. Wei Xiu couldn't suppress her happiness and kissed Shen Xiaofan again. Later, the two went all out for the rest of the night.

…

The next morning, Shen Xiaofan opened her eyes, she turned on the left and saw Wei Xiu looking at her with a smile.

"Good morning, did you sleep well?", Wei Xiu said.

Shen Xiaofan returned her smile and said, "Have you been watching me all night?",

"Not just watching.", Wei Xiu winked at her.

For some reason, Shen Xiaofan knew what she was referring to and covered her face in embarrassment, "Please don't mention what we did last night.",

"Oh? Why? You were so delightfu--",

Shen Xiaofan immediately covered Wei Xiu's mouth and glared at her, "Don't make me ashamed in the early morning.",

Wei Xiu grinned and nodded, "Okay.",

Shen Xiaofan woke up from the bed and began to fix her hair. Wei Xiu looked at her fondly and somehow thought that the two of them were married. It was such a happy occasion after the two girls danced last night. Who knows how long this relationship will last?

All they know is they'd still have so many days ahead of them, to express their love, to find true happiness, and to live together.

…

It was such a busy day in the afterlife dimension. The old man who was in charge of the reincarnation section was talking to an officer dressed in all black clothes.

"I see… so we have found her.", the old man said.

The man who was clad in all-black clothes nodded his head and reported his findings on Wei Xiu, "This woman is currently living in a girl's house… and it seems that the girl herself is... aware of Wei Xiu's existence.", the man couldn't say that he had witnessed the two girls were consummated last night. It was an awkward situation for him…

The old man furrowed his eyebrows and opened a green grimoire. This grimoire could tell someone's fate in their lives, even after death. The old man flipped several pages and found Wei Xiu's wheel of fate. The old man was surprised that not only Wei Xiu is repeating the same mistake, but she who had already died dare to steal someone's woman!

The old man was furious and he looked at Shen Xiaofan's wheel of fate. In the grimoire, it was written that Shen Xiaofan was destined to be with Hou Yang and have a happy family. However, Wei Xiu's appearance has shaken her fate and now the two will face a grim fate. Not to mention, Wei Xiu herself didn't realize she had possessed Shen Xiaofan, and is eating her spiritual life slowly.

"This… we must save this innocent girl right away. Wei Xiu is like a parasite in t his girl's life.", the old man said.

"Is she that dangerous? From the way I see it, I think this girl is also fond of her.", the man said.

"Ju Ji, how can you not realize it? Wei Xiu is actively absorbing this girl's spiritual life. If we let them be, this girl will die young before her destined date!",

"This… is really dangerous. But, who was Wei Xiu in her previous life? How could she be this unfortunate?",

The old man placed the grimoire under the shelf and said, "She was a senior Taoist who loved beauty and couldn't restrain herself. She was fated to be a grim reaper like you, but she kept denying it and jumped to the cycle of reincarnation herself. This was her fifth time, and she still couldn't resist herself...", the old man sighed and gave a white doll paper to Ju Ji.

"Capture her and seal her with this. After that, you can bring her back here.",

"I understand."
