My Tenant is a Female Ghost
As Elder Ge had guessed, Ge Shui Lian couldn't stay in the hospital for long. After just two days, she was clamoring to go back to school and demanding to be discharged. Bai Zhuo tried to persuade her but ultimately had to comply with her wishes and arranged for her discharge. Together with Yang Liu, they set off on the "college journey" to Ning University.
Ning University is a prestigious institution where only two types of people attend: either the children of the wealthy and powerful or those who excel academically.
Bai Zhuo had never been to college and yearned for that lifestyle. He lost his parents at a young age, and shortly after their passing, his grandfather and sister also left this world due to an accident. Without family constraints and with few teachers appreciating his quiet demeanor, Bai Zhuo's academic performance had always been among the lowest in his class. As for the college entrance exam, he never even considered taking it.
Now, thanks to Ge Shui Lian, he was thrilled to be attending such a prestigious university as Ning University.
Yang Liu's car had been damaged that night and was in the repair shop, so Bai Zhuo, Ge Shui Lian, and Yang Liu took a taxi to the entrance of Ning University. As soon as Bai Zhuo got out of the car, he felt the intense atmosphere of learning that reminded him of his high school days.
"Hey, pervert, stop staring at the beauties and pay the fare!" Yang Liu shouted. Ever since that night when Bai Zhuo called out for Yang Liu's spirit, he had earned the nickname "pervert," which made him quite unhappy.
It was noon, and many students were coming in and out of the college gate. Several students without afternoon classes were laughing and chatting as they walked outside, filling the campus with youthful energy!
"Ah! Lian Lian, you finally made it! I thought I would die waiting!" The newcomer was Ning Lan.
Ning Lan looked much more innocent now compared to that night, which caught Bai Zhuo's attention.
"Lanlan, you didn’t come to pick me up when I asked you to. Hmph! What kind of best friend are you?"
Ning Lan took the suitcase from Ge Shui Lian's hands. "Oh dear, we had club activities this morning! I know I was wrong, Lian Lian! How’s your hand? Is it feeling better?"
"Yes, much better! That's why I got discharged; I was going stir-crazy in that hospital. Let’s go, Lanlan!"
"Oh, oh, oh." Ning Lan nodded, glancing at Bai Zhuo with a slight blush on her cheeks. She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and said to Bai Zhuo, "Thank you for that night. I never got the chance to express my gratitude!"
Bai Zhuo recalled that night; he had helped her with the Corpse Poison. Ning Lan's skin was indeed quite delicate.
Before he could respond, Ge Shui Lian grabbed Ning Lan's hand and said, "Let's go! Stop dawdling."
Ning Lan stumbled slightly as she was pulled along, offering an apologetic smile before following Ge Shui Lian. As they walked further away, Bai Zhuo's keen hearing caught Ning Lan asking, "Lian Lian, why are you walking with Yang Liu? Isn't she your rival?"
At that moment, Yang Liu chimed in, "Thank you for today, Bai Zhuo! I need to check in now. Being late for class will worry the teacher. You can wander around the school for a bit; I'll come find you later!" Bai Zhuo waved his hand dismissively, indicating it was no problem, and Yang Liu continued on with her suitcase.
Not long after watching Yang Liu leave, Bai Zhuo intended to explore the academy when suddenly a woman grabbed his hands from behind and shouted loudly, "Son! My son! I've finally found you! Son!"
Bai Zhuo jumped in surprise and quickly pulled his hands away, turning around to question, "Who? Who are you? Don't shout like that; I'm not your son!"
The woman appeared to be in her fifties or sixties, her hair disheveled. Her eyes were sunken, and deep tear tracks marred her face. Yet she seemed well-preserved; upon closer inspection, she must have been quite beautiful in her youth. Initially wearing a sorrowful expression, she broke into a smile upon seeing Bai Zhuo and clung tightly to the hem of his shirt.
Bai Zhuo frowned and explained, "Auntie, you've mistaken me for someone else. I'm not your son; my name is Bai Zhuo—Bai as in white and Zhuo as in outstanding. Auntie... Auntie! Please let go of me!"
Hearing Bai Zhuo's words made the woman start to giggle foolishly. "Hehehe... Son, come home with Mama. Don't run off anymore; you've worried Mama sick! Everyone said you were dead—hahaha... They were all lying to me... Hey! You all come over here and see! My son is right here! Hehehe..."
A crowd began to gather at the academy entrance as many students started pointing and whispering about Bai Zhuo and the woman.
Someone exclaimed, "Oh no, look! That Crazy Woman is back!"
"Ah? It's her? Ugh, when will this end... If she's around, every time we enter or leave the academy, she asks, 'Have you seen my son? He's this tall, this big, eight years old!' Yikes..." One classmate shivered involuntarily. "It's creepy; let's get out of here!"
"Why is this crazy woman back again? What bad luck..."
"She looks so pitiful!"
"Junior, you have no idea. This woman has been here for almost three years. There was a time we didn't see her at all, and everyone thought she had died... Come on, junior, I've already booked a private room; let's go have some fun!"
"Look at her outfit; she doesn't look like an ordinary person. That whole outfit must cost thousands!"
"Oh? Let me see... Wow, it really is! All designer brands! What a shame; rich but no fortune to enjoy it. Unlike us, hehehe... Brothers, let's head to Huaxia City; it's on me!"
...
Bai Zhuo held his head in pain. He was already overwhelmed by the few female ghosts at home and the women around him. Now he had to deal with this Crazy Woman; he was truly going insane.
However, Bai Zhuo was a soft-hearted person. Moreover, being an orphan made him feel immense sympathy for this woman who had lost her son. He pulled the Crazy Woman to the security office at the entrance and asked, "Security Brother, do you know this lady?"
The security guard looked to be in his fifties and felt quite comfortable being called "brother" by Bai Zhuo. He smiled and said, "Oh, her? She's a regular here; she often comes looking for her son."
Bai Zhuo withdrew his hands from where the woman had hugged him and asked, "But I heard from others that her son has already died?"
"Ah... Her son died three years ago; he went missing around here. The impact of her son's death was too great for her... so she went mad!"
As soon as the Crazy Woman heard that her son had died, she immediately shouted, "You're lying! This is clearly my son! My son is not dead! I'll bite you!" This was a Crazy Woman who might actually bite him! The security guard was startled and quickly stepped aside. Fortunately, Bai Zhuo managed to hold her back before she lunged.
The guard sighed in relief. "Huh, she's been here for three years and has never found her child. Today is truly a surprise; she mistook you for her son," he suddenly remembered something and chuckled jokingly, "Hey? By the way, this woman is from a wealthy family. If she takes you as her son, that's fate! I think you should just accept her as your mom; you'd never have to worry about food or clothing."
“Security Brother, you smiled. One must not forget their roots; parents should not be taken lightly!”
“Hahaha... Just laugh it off, don’t take it to heart... But it’s really a coincidence. She’s been wandering around here for three years and has never regarded anyone else as her son, only you... It’s truly strange, very strange.”
The security guard's two strange remarks made Bai Zhuo ponder slightly.
He said, “Alright, I’m here to drop off my sister, Ge Shui Lian, for school. I haven’t visited before and wanted to take a look around the campus, but…”
The guard nodded, indicating he was referring to the Crazy Woman beside him. “Oh! No problem, no problem. You can go in; Ning University isn’t that strict. But you need to keep an eye on her; don’t scare the other students.”
Bai Zhuo nodded in agreement and led the Crazy Woman away from the security office and into the school.
Ning University truly lived up to its reputation; Bai Zhuo wandered along the main road for nearly half an hour and still hadn’t explored the entire campus!
The campus was very clean and beautiful, with a river running alongside the path. It was indeed rare to see such clear water in Ningcheng. However, Bai Zhuo had no mind to appreciate the scenery because he was constantly hearing the Crazy Woman’s voice beside him.
“Son, son, where are you taking Mommy?”
“Son, hurry and come home with Mommy! Mommy will cook your favorite cola chicken wings for you! How about that?”
“My dear son, please don’t wander off again. If you get lost again, Mommy will be so worried!”
Bai Zhuo sighed deeply and found a secluded spot to sit down, allowing the Crazy Woman to hold his hand as he stared blankly at the flowing water.
Son? Mother? Heh, I actually wish my mother were still alive and healthy like you in the Underworld.
"Son, son, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Come on, let Mama take your temperature!"
While Bai Zhuo was lost in thought, the Crazy Woman suddenly cupped his face with her hands, pressing her forehead against his as she checked his temperature! Bai Zhuo was startled but did not resist.
After a moment, he felt surprisingly calm inside.
"Eh? That's strange, no fever! Son, tell Mama where it hurts, and I'll take you to the hospital, okay? No injections, I promise no injections!"
...
"Bai! Big White! Time to get up for breakfast! You two lazybones!"
"Mama, Mama, why am I called Bai while Daddy is called Big White?"
"Because Daddy is older than you!"
"But Mama, if I eat well, I'll grow taller. Can I grow bigger than Daddy?"
"Then Bai, why do you want to be bigger than Daddy?"
"Just a bit older than Dad, and I can become 'Big White' to protect Mom!"
"Yes! Bai is so good! With Bai protecting her, Mom won't be afraid of anything! Now get up quickly and have breakfast, eat enough to have the strength to protect Mom!"
"Hehe! Bai wants to become Big White and then protect Mom!"
With her forehead pressed against Bai's, the mother lifted the young Bai into her arms and spun around in the air a couple of times. Her face gradually became blurry, making it hard to see what she looked like; all Bai knew was that she was very beautiful, perhaps the most beautiful woman in the world!
...
Mom...
Bai Zhuo suddenly felt tears welling up in his eyes as he looked at the Crazy Woman before him, his heart aching deeply. The Crazy Woman's face was very close; Bai Zhuo reached out his right hand to smooth her messy hair, making her look much more comfortable.
The Crazy Woman held Bai Zhuo's hand. "Son, let's go home. What do you want to eat with Mom? Be good, let's go home. Dad misses you, and your sister misses you too. Let's go back."
Bai Zhuo thought for a moment; this wasn't a solution either. It would be better to return to the school gate first.
He led the Crazy Woman back to the school entrance. Just as Bai Zhuo was about to step outside, he noticed a security guard in the security room pointing at him from a distance and saw a woman rushing out directly from the security room.
This woman was dressed in a suit and pencil skirt, her long legs wrapped in black stockings. Her long hair was elegantly pinned up, exuding an enticing blueberry scent—whether it was perfume or something else, it was simply delightful.
Overall, this woman appeared very capable, fitting the image of a strong woman. She wore high heels, and as she walked, her hips swayed with an alluring rhythm. While Bai Zhuo admired her figure, she cast a faint glance at him and said, "I don't care what methods you've used to charm my mother, nor do I want to know how you did it. One million—stay away from my mother! Her son has been dead for a long time!"
Hearing the woman speak, Bai Zhuo's appreciation for the "beautiful scenery" instantly vanished.
What was wrong with her? Did she really think money could solve everything?
Bai Zhuo let out a cold laugh and spread his hands. "Deal!"
...
No? Was he stupid?
A Crazy Woman, a foolish woman, offering a hundred thousand for free—only an idiot would refuse. He, Bai Zhuo, was no billionaire!
To his surprise, this Capable Woman was quite decisive as well. She took out a card and tossed it into Bai Zhuo's arms. "The password is five zeros. Now go... Mom, how many times have I told you not to wander around? Do you understand? It's dangerous outside!"
This Capable Woman firmly pulled her mother toward the nearby Mercedes-Benz. When the Crazy Woman saw that Bai Zhuo wasn't following, she made a scene, crying out, "Son! Son! My son! Don't you want your mother anymore? Come back home with me, please! Son!"
But her daughter's strength seemed considerable as she dragged her mother toward the car and then locked the door. The woman shot Bai Zhuo a fierce glare before getting in and driving away. The Mercedes-Benz sped off, leaving Bai Zhuo shrugging and smiling. He loved situations like this where fortune fell into his lap.
A hundred thousand—if he spent it wisely, it would last him quite some time. Perhaps he could save it as a dowry... But why did this Crazy Woman insist on recognizing him as her son when no one else did? It was truly strange! Bai Zhuo thought to himself but didn't let it bother him.
