Chapter 21
"..." Xie Ran looked at him speechlessly, "Your way of striking up a conversation is too old-fashioned."
Jing Xuan was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean by striking up a conversation?"
Xie Ran: "..."
He almost forgot that this ghost race is not very common sense in the human world.
Xie Ran was suddenly a little puzzled - usually, only ghosts who just ran out of the ghost world would be so ignorant of the human world, but Jing Xuan didn't have that "novice" sense of embarrassment at all, even when he was dressed They are all so "human".
Is it reasonable to look like a human on the one hand, but not understand the vocabulary and habits of the human race?And in this way, he still doesn't understand why Jing Xuan squats in his shop and refuses to leave.
This old ghost is mysterious...
His gaze unconsciously carried a little inquiry.Because of this, Jing Xuan showed doubts: "Huh?"
Xie Ran: "My clan and the ghost clan are related, it's normal for you to feel familiar."
"Ah..." Jing Xuan was stunned.
Xie Ran looked at him sideways: "You don't know?"
Jing Xuan shook his head.
"It's fake if you pretend too much, brother." Xie Ran sighed, and with the umbrella covering him, he tore Jing Xuan off his body, and then quickly followed Cheng Cheng.
The sound of "Brother" made Jing Xuan stunned for a long time, until the fine rain passed through his transparent body, and the cold made him shiver before recovering.
...so cold.
He hastened to catch up.
In this rainy sky, everyone is like a cluster of fire, and Xie Ran is the brightest and most prosperous cluster.
Jing Xuan guessed that he should be a kind of bird monster with fire attribute, so his body is always extra warm, but Jing Xuan is afraid of the cold, as long as the sun goes down, he can't wait to find a living creature to stay close to him until dawn.So even though Xie Ran repeatedly showed disgust, facing the instinct of survival, Jing Xuan did not give up sticking with this little bird.
When he caught up with Xie Ran, Xie Ran was standing at the door of the inpatient department building of the hospital, and Cheng Cheng should have entered as a "head teacher".
"Why don't you go upstairs?" Jing Xuan asked.
Xie Ran pointed to his emerald green eyes - this color is fine under the night, but if it enters the hospital building, it will be too noticeable.
"Can't it be changed?" Jing Xuan was surprised, "Isn't it usually black?"
"Those are black contact lenses."
"..." The ignorant old ghost showed a surprised expression like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden.
Xie Ran had warned him just now that "pretend to be fake", but he didn't expect this old ghost to continue to pretend, a bit of sullen feeling inexplicably grew in his heart, and his eyes immediately turned cold.
"Don't be angry, I really don't know." Jing Xuan quickly defended himself, "I forgot a lot of things, so..."
Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly turned his head when he saw Xie Ran, and glanced upstairs.
Jing Xuan: "What?"
Xie Ran frowned: "It seems that someone is going to enter the ward..."
"Can you see it?"
"I can hear it."
For some reason, Jing Xuan believed Xie Ran's judgment inexplicably because of this sentence, and he said, "Then I'll go up and have a look."
"Ah."
……
Cheng Cheng stepped out of the elevator and rubbed his sweaty palms in front of the ward.
He looked back, but he didn't see brother Xie.
It stands to reason that Brother Xie and the others are still following... Maybe they are hiding somewhere they can't see...
"Huh... don't be nervous." He cheered himself up in his heart like facing the college entrance examination, and then knocked on the door of the ward.
Tuk Tuk Tuk.
Not long after, the door was opened from the inside, and Zhan Huabin's face was exposed through the crack of the door, and he was taken aback when he saw Cheng Chengcheng.
Cheng Cheng cleared his throat, and said in a low voice, "Hi, I'm Cheng Cheng's head teacher. I heard that his mother has a strange illness, so I came to visit her."
"Hello, hello." Zhan Huabin welcomed people in, "I met your teacher, maybe you don't remember, when Cheng Cheng entered school, I went to the school with Xiao...I went with his mother."
This was another thing that Cheng Cheng didn't know. He tried his best to hold his expression, pretending to remember it just now, and slapped his forehead: "Oh, yes, it's you...Look at my memory, it's Mr. Zhan, right?"
Zhan Huabin smiled: "The teacher thought I was Cheng Cheng's father last time."
"Everyone makes mistakes..." Cheng Cheng was already sweating a little, and after only two sentences, he felt that he couldn't handle it.
He belatedly thought that he should have bought some fruit earlier, so that he could pretend to be a little more attractive.
How can anyone come to see a patient empty-handed?
Fortunately, Zhan Huabin didn't pay attention to him, so he asked Cheng Cheng to sit on the sofa, "How did the teacher know that Cheng Cheng's mother was ill?"
"The police, the police went to the school to investigate, so I inquired about the ward. Didn't bother you?"
"Nothing to bother you." Zhan Huabin said, "The teacher came just in time. I also want to ask you about Cheng Cheng's situation. The child disappeared some time ago. I don't know if the teacher knows where Cheng Cheng might go?"
Cheng Cheng also didn't understand why he was being questioned when he came here to inquire about the news.
He is dead, not missing, and he knows his own situation best, so he figured out the tone of the head teacher, and said a few perfunctory words to Zhan Huabin.
It's not human's fault to put on airs, and Cheng Cheng chatted so much that his nose was sweating, and he was afraid of putting himself out for help several times before finally talking about the "school choice fee".
"Cheng Cheng's mother has a hot temper and doesn't like us old classmates to help, but she doesn't know how long it will take to recover from this illness. If you are in a hurry, I will pay you back first." Zhan Huabin said, looking for a mobile phone Transfer money to the "head teacher".
Cheng Cheng quickly stopped him: "No hurry, no hurry, I almost forgot the money if you didn't tell me. The number of places in the school is limited at that time, so I just want to help."
"Oh, it's also thanks to your help." Zhan Huabin sighed, "I don't know what to say about her temper. She is very unyielding to the people around her. Let's just raise her son. Obviously, everything is given to Cheng Cheng. It can be seen that her son is always unwilling to speak well, making Cheng Cheng treat her like an enemy... Money is also, me, us old classmates are actually quite willing to help her financially, but she borrowed it once and said before paying it off. I won’t borrow anything for the second time. You said it’s not so easy to pay back the money when people are in trouble..."
Finally, when it was time to get to the point, Cheng Cheng immediately concentrated on it.
However, at this time, the door of the ward was knocked again.
"Who else could it be so late?" Zhan Huabin's words were interrupted, he looked at the door suspiciously, and was about to walk over to open it, "Teacher, please wait a moment."
The door of the ward opened with a "squeak"——
When Cheng Cheng looked over, his pupils shrank severely.
The one standing at the door turned out to be the female assistant who was following his father!
"Hello." The female assistant smiled at Zhan Huabin, "I'm Mr. Cheng's secretary. I'm here to visit my wife."
Zhan Huabin frowned and said, "Mr. Cheng? Are you talking about Xiaoli's irresponsible ex-husband?"
"You can't say that, Mr. Cheng is very concerned about his ex-wife and children..."
The female assistant walked towards the ward while talking, as if she wanted to squeeze Zhan Huabin who was blocking the door with her body.Cheng Cheng shouted anxiously: "Don't let her in!"
The female assistant's face darkened, and the fluorescent lamp on the ceiling of the ward suddenly exploded with a "snap"——
