Chapter 3 Daily Necessities
With an optimistic mindset, Qin Liu returned to her maiden boudoir.
Some of that man’s belongings remained in the room.
The quilt on the bed, the shrine by the window.
These two items might be too big, maybe he didn’t even dare to ask for them?
Qin Liu sat by the bed.
Despite being a ghost, she could still touch quite a few things.
If she couldn’t touch anything, how could she scare away the uninvited guest who broke into the house?
“It’s good to be alone, very peaceful. I hope that guy doesn’t come back.”
Recalling what happened last night, Qin Liu was furious and bristled.
Her shoes were still on the shrine, and she couldn’t get them back.
Walking barefoot didn’t provide much sense of security, as you couldn’t guarantee there wouldn’t be perverts like foot fetishists who, instead of being scared, would charge forward.
“Speaking of which… what book was that guy reading last night? He read all night without stopping.”
With a curious mind, Qin Liu rummaged through the headboard for a while.
Fortunately, the book was still under the pillow and had not been taken away by that man.
Qin Liu picked up the book, and to outsiders, it looked like a book had suddenly flown up.
“It feels quite thick, could it be a long novel?”
Although Qin Liu didn’t like reading physical books when she was alive, especially long ones.
But now she had no choice, she couldn’t leave this place, and having something to pass the time was pretty good.
So, with anticipation, Qin Liu slowly opened the book.
But in the next second, her expression froze.
What met the young girl’s eyes were indecent scenes.
This was not a novel at all, but a large collection of adult books!
How could this be! Someone! Was reading adult books in a young girl’s boudoir all night!
Qin Liu quickly checked the bed and the inside of the quilt.
Then she breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, there were no used tissues or anything of that sort.
Otherwise, it would have been too much.

“Mr. Liu?” In the sales office, the quinquagenarian old man looked nervously at the man in front of him and said, “Are you…”
Seeing Liu Haoyu with a backpack, the old man thought he was here to return the item and immediately reminded him.
“No, Mr. Liu, you’ve already signed the contract, you can’t go back on it.”
In the old man’s opinion, the result was not beyond his expectations.
The previous buyers were the same. After living there for one night, they cried and begged for a refund the next day, and one of them was even scared into the hospital, forcing the old man to compensate the other party with a large sum of money.
So this time, the old man learned his lesson and marked in the contract that the house was Liu Haoyu’s lifelong ownership.
This meant that the house was completely unrelated to the sales office.
However, Liu Haoyu just shook his head and said.
“Who said I’m here to return the house?”
“Ah?”
This time the old man was confused. He looked at Liu Haoyu, who had a calm face and composed expression, and couldn’t help but ask.
“You… how was your night?”
“It was very pleasant,” Liu Haoyu shrugged and said, “That place is quite cool, at least it’s very comfortable to stay in during the summer.”
“…”
The old man silently formed a question mark. After a moment of hesitation, he tentatively asked.
“Didn’t you encounter any ghosts in that house?”
“What ghost?” Liu Haoyu reached out and patted the old man’s shoulder, saying, “It’s the 21st century, believe in materialism. How can there be ghosts in this world? If there are truly unknown existences of ghosts and monsters, would that be fair to those scientists who have spent tens of trillions of funds and their lives exploring the unknown?”
“This?”
The old man was momentarily speechless by Liu Haoyu’s rebuttal, and seeing this, the other party continued.
“Old Wang, although you are old, it’s not good to be too superstitious. You should believe in the great country.”
Old Wang was completely choked by Liu Haoyu’s words, but even so, he still stubbornly continued.
“But the previous buyers…”
Before he could finish, Liu Haoyu retorted.
“That’s because they were timid. You know, the house is in the wilderness, it’s inherently remote, and it’s so dilapidated, so staying there for one night would naturally put a lot of pressure on you. It’s normal to have some illusions, isn’t it?”
Liu Haoyu pointed to himself at the end.
“And look, if there were really ghosts, would I be standing here calmly?”
To this, Old Wang still stubbornly mumbled.
“What if you were just lucky last night?”
Of course, his voice was very quiet and lacked confidence, so Liu Haoyu didn’t hear it.
So, after coughing twice, Old Wang changed the subject and said to Liu Haoyu.
“So why are you here?”
“There are quite a few things,” Liu Haoyu rested his elbows on the counter and said, “That place is too dilapidated. It’s called a mansion, but there’s no usable furniture, and there’s no running water or electricity. So I’m here to discuss after-sales service with you.”
Old Wang’s face was a little stiff. To be honest, he didn’t think Liu Haoyu could stay in that house from the beginning. He might be the kind of person who would run away after one night.
So he didn’t consider furniture, water or electricity.
Who would have thought that this man actually chose to stay.
This made him a little embarrassed.
“Old Wang, I’ve already bought the house, and you don’t want to be complained about for poor after-sales service, do you?”
Facing Liu Haoyu’s threat, Old Wang gritted his teeth and said.
“…Alright, as long as the money is right, I will help you get the furniture over there!”
The furniture purchase would still require Liu Haoyu to pay, but this man had enough money, so he waved his hand and bought almost all the furniture that might be needed.
However, after Liu Haoyu finished buying, Old Wang said in a negotiating tone.
“Mr. Liu, I can deliver the furniture to you tonight, but the water and electricity might take some time.”
In fact, even now, Old Wang still didn’t believe that Liu Haoyu could stay in that haunted house for a long time.
So there was no rush for water and electricity.
“It’s okay, just do it as soon as possible. I’ll go buy some things and I’ll take your car there tonight.”
“Yes, yes.”
Saying that, Liu Haoyu left the sales office.
As evening arrived, Old Wang waited in the parking lot with his van for a while, and finally saw the person.
Seeing Liu Haoyu carrying a pile of bags.
Old Wang couldn’t help but ask.
“So many things, what did you buy?”
“Some daily necessities.”
Liu Haoyu sorted out these things, and then Old Wang saw the thick stack of joss paper in his bag.
Then the corners of his mouth twitched, and he asked.
“Are you sure this counts as daily necessities?”
“Daily necessities for worship, that’s very reasonable, right?”
