But this was different from Ou Zihen’s situation. Luo Mingbai yawned: “Everything has its roots. Anyway, that head is definitely a flying head savage. Such a thing isn’t easy to hide. We should check places Ou Zihen frequently visited.”
Xia Xianning hummed in agreement and added: “Tonight I caught a fierce ghost with heavy resentment. It didn’t seek revenge on its enemy but ran to Ou Zihen’s home instead.”
Luo Mingbai said: “Oh, that is indeed strange.”
Xia Xianning succinctly said: “We’ll investigate more tomorrow.”
Luo Mingbai’s eyes rolled: “Are you going back to sleep now?”
Due to their work nature, special investigation unit personnel often work at night and rest during the day.
Xia Xianning said: “I’ll drop you off at school first.”
Luo Mingbai replied: “Dorm is doing a hygiene check today, so I won’t go back. I’ll go home to sleep. Xianning, since we’re both going to sleep, why don’t you… come back with me and sleep together?”
Xia Xianning refused: “…No.”
Luo Mingbai asked: “Why not?”
Xia Xianning would unconsciously say a few more words. He turned and glanced at Luo Mingbai, his eyes soft: “Why not not?”
Luo Mingbai said: “I saw a very scary ghost today. I’ll be scared sleeping alone.”
Currently, his father Luo Zhao was abroad with his mother Jiang Yujia. If Luo Mingbai went home now, the big empty house would only have him, aside from the occasional cleaning staff.
But saying a feng shui master is afraid of ghosts? That’s ridiculous.
Xia Xianning raised an eyebrow, his tone flat: “Right, you’re afraid of ghosts. You’re not just afraid of ghosts, you’re also afraid of hard beds, cold blankets, light while sleeping… I won’t be able to sleep with you.”
Luo Mingbai said sadly: “You know I’m so timid, yet you still refuse me. Are you going to watch me die of fright? How heartless! Cruel! Utterly… utterly shameless!”
Though the last phrase might not be quite right, he was a Chinese literature graduate student and knew a parallel sentence needed at least three parts.
Xia Xianning continued driving.
