Chapter 29 Storage Room
“Boss, I want a bottle of barley tea, the 1.5-liter one.”
Liu Zining came to the small shop downstairs, and the kind boss heard Liu Zining’s words and said with a little surprise.
“Barley tea…? We only have it without ice.”
Since not many people buy this, the boss didn’t want to use the limited refrigerator space.
“Also, I haven’t seen anyone buy barley tea from you in a long time.”
Liu Zining smiled.
“I just want to try it again.”
In fact, Liu Zining didn’t really like barley tea, but her sister, Liu Qian, loved this drink.
So before her sister had an accident, Liu Zining often came here to buy barley tea.
“Alright, here you go.”
The boss found a 1.5-liter bottle of barley tea from the box. Liu Zining also asked for a bottle of Sprite, paid for it, and prepared to go upstairs.
Her steps were a little heavy, and her thoughts were a little erratic.
Perhaps her heart was struggling.
Because she knew very well that Liu Qian had already been transcended by herself, and her soul had already gone to the underworld and could not return here.
It wasn’t that this was some kind of substitute literature, but rather… even though their appearances were different, their habits and personalities were too similar to Liu Qian.
More importantly, if you reversed the characters “Qin Liu,” it was very similar to Liu Qian.
Was this really a coincidence?
Liu Zining never believed in coincidences.
She didn’t think Qin Liu would travel all the way from Jiangliu City to Jiangquan City just to fulfill a promise made by her sister.
In other words, is it realistic for a stranger to ask you to go to the next city to check on their relatives and friends?
Liu Zining knew that most people would choose to refuse…
The young girl stood in front of the door, took a deep breath, and calmed the complex and heavy emotions in her heart.
After pushing the door open and walking in, she saw Qin Liu sitting on the sofa, her expression showing a deliberate awkwardness.
“I’m back.”
Liu Zining opened the refrigerator and said.
“There’s only Sprite and barley tea left, what would you two like?”
“I can’t drink anything…”
Bai Anting spoke first, the young girl slumped listlessly.
She tried to eat and drink, but couldn’t touch anything.
What was even more infuriating was that she hadn’t eaten anything since yesterday, but she wasn’t hungry at all now.
This further proved one point.
She had indeed transformed into a spiritual body.
“I want… Sprite.”
Qin Liu pointed to the bottle of Sprite on the table. Bai Anting looked at it, sighed, and said.
“Qin Liu, how can you eat anything?”
“I don’t know about this either…”
Qin Liu didn’t know how to answer Bai Anting’s question.
After all, she could eat things directly without understanding why.
Could it be related to Liu Haoyu’s constant supply of incense?
Speaking of Liu Haoyu, Qin Liu was in trouble again.
Since Liu Haoyu didn’t have much money, he had nowhere to live.
So Qin Liu wanted Liu Haoyu to live in this house, which would save a lot of expenses.
But… it wasn’t easy to ask.
She and Liu Zining were only acquaintance-level relationships at most. There was no way the other party would let Liu Haoyu live here.
Qin Liu understood Liu Zining quite well.
This young girl looked very approachable, but in fact, she was very wary in social interactions.
So even if she asked, she probably wouldn’t agree…
“Is there something?”
While Qin Liu was thinking, Liu Zining poured herself a cup of barley tea and added a few ice cubes.
“You look like you have something to say, just say it.”
“…”
Hearing Liu Zining’s words, Qin Liu calmed down, gathered her courage, and said.
“Actually… Liu Haoyu and I don’t have any money or a place to live. Although it’s a bit embarrassing to say, I still want to ask, Liu Zining, do you have a room to stay in here?”
After finishing speaking, Qin Liu still felt it was not quite right, so she added.
“We will definitely pay for accommodation. Once we have money, we will give it to you…”
“Pfft!”
Before Qin Liu could finish, Liu Zining couldn’t hold back any longer.
She saw Qin Liu looking like she had something to say, and thought it was something very important or dangerous. Turns out, she just wanted to borrow a place to stay?
“Of course, there’s a place to stay, but it might need some organizing. It’s a storage room, and there are quite a lot of things in it.”
After getting Liu Zining’s affirmation, Qin Liu’s face immediately showed happiness.
“Thank you!”
“No need for thanks, we are all ghost exorcists, and you have saved me a few times. This is what I should do.”
Liu Zining finished the barley tea in her cup and then said.
“You two go and tidy up the storage room first, I’ll go and find the blankets and bedding.”
After speaking, Liu Zining went upstairs first.
In the living room, only Bai Anting and Qin Liu were left.
Qin Liu was still immersed in happiness.
“Let’s go organize that storage room first.”
“Okay… Okay your head, Qin Liu, you forgot I can’t carry anything?”
Bai Anting glared at Qin Liu.
She was in a spiritual body state now and couldn’t control resentment. She couldn’t touch earthly things.
“Oh, right, I’ll go organize it myself.”
After speaking, Qin Liu walked towards the storage room deep in the first floor.
However, it was called a storage room, but it was just a small storage room.
It was only ten square meters. This room was directly above the second floor, which was her bedroom.
Because Jiangquan City is very humid on the first floor in spring, both she and Liu Zining slept on the second floor.
This small room on the first floor was used as a storage room.
There were many messy things in it, including toys and memories from their childhood.
But… frankly speaking, this should be the childhood memories of Liu Qian and Liu Zining.
It had nothing to do with her, an outsider.
“I didn’t expect she liked playing with remote-controlled cars too?”
Qin Liu rummaged through the storage for some old toys and had to admit, as expected of her parallel self from another dimension, Liu Qian’s childhood toys were exactly the same as what she played with as a child.
However, it was precisely because of this that Qin Liu’s speed of tidying up the room increased.
————
It took about half an hour, and Qin Liu finally finished organizing the storage room.
Now they just had to wait for Liu Zining to bring down the folding single bed from the second floor.
However, speaking of which… why hasn’t Liu Zining come down for so long?
Qin Liu felt a little strange. She opened the door and prepared to go upstairs to check the situation.
However, as soon as she opened the door, she saw Liu Zining standing in front of the door. Although her expression still maintained a calm smile.
But her trembling hand confirmed the girl’s slightly excited heart.
“It’s quite heavy, I’ll help you.”
Qin Liu thought Liu Zining didn’t have much strength, so she controlled her resentment and moved the bed in.
Liu Zining also entered the room, lowering her head without speaking.
She also closed the door.
Qin Liu, with her back to Liu Zining, didn’t notice her actions.
She said contentedly.
“Let’s just stay like this for now, no, there’s also Bai Anting’s…”
Qin Liu turned her head and was about to suggest buying a folding single bed across the street, but she found Liu Zining staring at her the whole time and not speaking.
The strange silence in the room made Qin Liu’s body tense up.
She chuckled and asked.
“Um… Liu Zining, do you have any more single beds?”
Liu Zining took a deep breath and said with a smile.
“Sis, you know as well as I do, there’s only one single bed in the house.”
With just one sentence, Qin Liu was struck by lightning, and her whole body froze on the spot.
Fortunately, she recovered and pretended that nothing had happened, saying.
“I’m Qin Liu, not your sister. Liu Zining, you must be mistaken?”
“Stare…”
Liu Zining didn’t hurry to answer, but quietly stared at Qin Liu.
This heavy gaze made Qin Liu break out in a cold sweat. Just as she was about to argue again.
Liu Zining said slowly.
“Is that so? But I don’t think I’ve told you where this storage room is, have I?”
“If you really are an outsider, Qin Liu, it wouldn’t be easy to find this storage room…”
