Chapter 30: To Be Precise, I Heard (10/95)
Faced with Qin Liu’s sharp words, Liu Haoyu’s gaze fell on Qin Liu’s bare legs.
“Why… not… this…”
He was also a bit unsure how to explain.
He couldn’t just say he saw Qin Liu…
If this little ghost heard this answer, she might really explode on the spot.
So, Liu Haoyu’s very flexible mind quickly came into play.
He said in a very fast tone.
“I was just a little confused why I was sitting on the bed and thought I had encountered a ghost, so I woke up to confirm what happened.”
“Your speaking speed is so fast, it’s like a fabricated lie!”
Qin Liu naturally didn’t believe Liu Haoyu’s ghost stories. Her face was as red as a ripe crayfish, and she couldn’t even speak clearly.
“Did… did you… did you see… everything?”
As she spoke, Qin Liu’s voice became weaker and weaker, and if you didn’t listen carefully, you couldn’t even tell what she was saying.
“What? What thing? I just woke up, I didn’t see anything…”
“Then look at my eyes when you talk!”
Facing Liu Haoyu’s shifting gaze, which occasionally fell on her legs, if he said he didn’t see anything…
Who would believe that!?
Not even ghosts would believe it!
“You definitely saw something, right? You definitely saw something, right?”
Qin Liu kept questioning and walked towards Liu Haoyu step by step.
But even so, the man on the bed still felt he had to struggle a bit.
After all, to some extent… this shouldn’t be his problem… right?
So how did Qin Liu end up in his bed?
At this moment, Qin Liu changed the subject and asked.
“When did you wake up?”
“When I noticed the bed creaking…”
“Then you saw everything, didn’t you?!”
Liu Haoyu’s subconscious answer broke Qin Liu’s composure.
In her shame and anger, this little ghost felt like she was about to jump up.
Liu Haoyu forced an awkward but polite smile.
Seeing that he couldn’t hide it from Qin Liu, he knew he probably couldn’t fool her anymore.
“Well… actually, I didn’t see, I just heard.”
“Ugh~~~~”
Qin Liu let out a very cute sound.
Liu Haoyu shifted his gaze aside, a little afraid to meet Qin Liu’s eyes.
“I wanted to pretend to keep sleeping, but in that situation, I just couldn’t sleep.”
“So you saw everything, you saw everything…”
Seeing Qin Liu, who seemed about to break down, Liu Haoyu comforted her.
“Let me correct that, I didn’t ‘see’… After all, it was quite dark just now, and you were in my arms, so I couldn’t lower my head…”
“So, in other words, you heard everything?”
“Yes.”
Liu Haoyu nodded affirmatively.
“What’s the difference?!”
The girl’s scream echoed in the room.
—
Time moved to the next morning.
After packing his things, Liu Haoyu left the hotel.
There was no one by his side.
And because of what happened earlier, Qin Liu had retreated into Hong Yu, feeling self-isolated.
So, how did Qin Liu get onto his bed?
Unable to figure it out, Liu Haoyu could only take out the black book and write on it.
“When did I go to sleep last night?”
“You?” The black book slowly revealed a line of blood-red text: “Probably when the guide was writing on the blank page.”
As he said that, the black book turned to the page the guide had written on.
The handwriting was clear and neat, indeed looking like Qin Liu’s writing.
“After you fell asleep, she moved you to the bed.”
“Oh… so Qin Liu willingly lay on my bed?”
“Nonsense!” The black book, unable to hold back, complained: “She kindly dragged you to bed, and then you pushed her onto the bed.”
“That’s not pushing, that’s hugging,”
Liu Haoyu retorted by writing.
But he had probably figured out the whole story and knew why Qin Liu was in his arms.
As for… how that happened…
Liu Haoyu’s emotional intelligence was quite good; he seemed to realize something.
The black book seemed to smile at this.
“How about it? The guide definitely has feelings for you. Even with a conservative estimate, she has a good impression of you.”
“You just need to try, and maybe you can really take her home.”
“A strong and very cute wife, aren’t you tempted?”
“Not to mention she looks so good in white stockings.”
Liu shrugged at the black book’s instigation.
“It would be a lie to say I’m not tempted.”
A light and soft girl, without knowing what emotions she was carrying, did such a thing in his arms.
This was a fatal temptation for any young man.
Moreover, Liu Haoyu was also at that age of vigorous blood.
He only seemed to have low emotional intelligence, but in reality, it was all an act.
Just as he knew Deng Xiaolin had a good impression of him, he also knew Qin Liu’s dependence on him.
This little ghost seemed very cheerful, but her heart was incredibly lonely.
So much so that she often talked to herself alone.
How could anyone not worry about her mental health in such a situation?
At least Liu Haoyu couldn’t stop worrying.
“But you should also know that I don’t have much time or energy to maintain a romantic relationship.”
The profession of a ghost exorcist was extremely busy.
To catch ghosts, he had to gather information during the day and personally investigate at night.
Especially for difficult cases like Qiao Siyi’s dismemberment case, it usually took a lot of effort to resolve.
He was really busy.
And he knew that a romantic relationship was not the same as a friendship.
It required companionship and effort, which also consumed his energy.
One was career, the other was emotion.
Liu Haoyu was not confident that he could manage both simultaneously.
If that was the case, why hurt the girl’s heart?
What’s more, once a relationship fails and they break up, they can’t even be friends anymore.
Even more crucially, the lonely Qin Liu had not made many friends until now…
“If you ask me, you should just give up being a ghost exorcist.”
The black book tried to dissuade Liu Haoyu.
“Why do you have to insist on this?”
It was indeed as the black book said, the profession of a ghost exorcist.
It was busy, dangerous, worked day and night, and didn’t pay well.
Who would normally do such a thing?
If someone was willing, the Special Task Force wouldn’t have such difficulty recruiting.
Many police officers who could have joined were forced to transfer to other positions due to excessive psychological stress after a short period.
To this, Liu Haoyu shrugged again, his expression unchanged, without any hesitation.
“Because someone has to do this job.”
