Yang Liu's home was shrouded in darkness, with the emergency light outside flickering, barely illuminating the chaos within. In the gloom, Bai Zhuo lay among the debris, having danced on the edge of life and death multiple times, which had altered his state of mind. He couldn't help but laugh, "Hehe... Ha... Hahaha!" As he laughed, tears began to stream down his face.
The silence of the night was eerie. Yang Liu, hiding in the wardrobe upstairs, heard Bai Zhuo's laughter from below. Cautiously, she pushed open the wardrobe door. Aside from Bai Zhuo's laughter, it was eerily quiet. She tiptoed downstairs and found the place in disarray, catching a glimpse of Bai Zhuo lying on the ground, laughing heartily.
"Bai... Bai Zhuo?"
Wiping away the tears from his eyes, Bai Zhuo stood up and patted his backside. "Ah, it's Yang Liu! It's okay now; you're safe."
"Really? That's great!" Yang Liu exclaimed joyfully as she rushed toward him.
In the darkness, Bai Zhuo felt a warm body dive into his embrace. His hands inadvertently landed on Yang Liu's hips, feeling soft flesh beneath his fingers.
Soft and warm? Strange; shouldn't it feel like fabric? Why does it feel like skin? Curious, Bai Zhuo explored with his hands, feeling the smooth warmth again. Cold sweat broke out on him as he froze in place, swallowing hard before stammering, "You... why aren't you wearing... any underwear?"
Yang Liu's body stiffened like a bamboo pole as she stood there awkwardly. Bai Zhuo felt relieved that it was Yang Liu and not someone like Ge Shui Lian. If it had been Ge Shui Lian, he really wouldn't know if he still had his manhood intact...
Yang Liu stood rigidly with her neck stretched out shyly. "I... I like to sleep naked... I was too nervous earlier and didn't have time to get dressed... Aren't you going to let go?"
To be fair, just looking at her face, Yang Liu was prettier than Ouyang Shirei. However, the strong scent of books emanating from her and her ethereal demeanor typical of Jiangnan women were enough to drive many men wild. As for Su Meiniang, she was a fox spirit and completely beyond the realm of "human," so she couldn't be compared.
Bai Zhuo awkwardly withdrew his hand. "Sorry about that. Um... you also don't have any clothes on... I noticed... uh... sorry for what I..."
Yang Liu took a few steps back, covering herself with her hands and softly saying, "It's okay; it's okay. If it's you, Bai Zhuo... Ah, um, please don't think too much about it. In my heart, you've already become one of my good friends!" In the darkness, her flushed face was hidden from view. "You know... actually, my first call was to Leng Xuanhe. Leng Xuanhe is from Ningcheng's Yin-Yang Family. I know he's been pursuing me for a while now, and because of my special condition, my parents are trying to match us up too. I called him two hours ago thinking he would rush over to save me and make up for leaving without a word last time. Unfortunately, I overestimated him; he hasn't even called me back yet! Instead, it's you—Bai Zhuo—who saved me despite only having met once. I'm really grateful!"
In truth, Bai Zhuo had his own motives; Yang Liu's unique condition attracted spirits, and the Ghost Hunting Competition could help him out. However, hearing Yang Liu speak like this made him feel somewhat guilty about those thoughts. He scratched his nose and said, "Well then... we're good friends now! Hehe! But you should really put some clothes on first."
"Ah... well... there's a power outage at home; it's so dark upstairs that I'm scared..."
Bai Zhuo thought for a moment and gentlemanly took off his shirt, handing it to Yang Liu. "Put this on first; we'll head upstairs together later."
Yang Liu accepted the shirt with a cheerful "thank you." Once she had put it on, she gently took Bai Zhuo's hand and led him upstairs.
"Yang Liu, where are your parents?"
"My parents are very busy; they should be flying to Europe right now. There's a big business deal."
"Oh? So you usually live alone?"
"Not really. There's usually a housekeeper at home who cooks and eats with me. But she went back for the Ghost Festival, so I'm alone tonight."
"That sounds quite lonely for you, Yang Liu."
"It's okay. What about you, Bai Zhuo? You're out this late; won't your parents worry?"
Bai Zhuo smiled lightly. "My parents passed away when I was very young. I don't have a girlfriend or anything; I'm the oldest in my family."
"Ah... I'm sorry, I didn't realize..."
"It's fine, it's been over ten years. I've managed to live on my own."
Yang Liu deliberately changed the subject. "Well, you're really impressive, Bai Zhuo! By the way, I haven't thanked you for saving me last time. I'll treat you to a meal!"
"A meal? Sure! I love it when others treat me to food," Bai Zhuo replied happily. He recalled how Ouyang Shirei had treated him to dinner last time, only for her ex-husband to cause trouble. Just thinking about it made him angry.
"Great! It's settled then, but don't stand me up. Turn around; I need to change." Yang Liu released Bai Zhuo's hand. Her room was filled with a light fragrance as she opened her wardrobe and prepared to take off her clothes.
Bai Zhuo's eyes had already adjusted to the darkness, allowing him to vaguely see Yang Liu's graceful curves. She trusted him so much that he quickly turned away, not daring to look any longer, feeling his heart race.
Yang Liu was getting dressed when she said, "Last time at the hospital, Ge Shui Lian told me you are her junior. But I heard from others that in Ge Shui Lian's family, there's a rule about you being a son-in-law. Is that true?"
Bai Zhuo certainly didn't want to admit any connection with another woman in front of a beautiful girl. "I don't want to be her husband. That violent woman? If I married her, I wouldn't know if I'd die in bed."
Having finished dressing, Yang Liu handed Bai Zhuo his shirt and spat at him playfully. "Pfft! What nonsense! How can there be such a bad woman?"
Just as Bai Zhuo was about to criticize Ge Shui Lian, he suddenly heard voices coming from downstairs.
"Shh—someone's coming!" Bai Zhuo gently pressed Yang Liu's shoulder.
"Huh? Is there a thief?" Yang Liu asked nervously. The world was chaotic, and if she were alone tonight, she would indeed be scared, especially with recent news of robbers who were both violent and predatory.
"You hide first; I'll go take a look."
"Then... be careful!"
Yang Liu continued to hide in the wardrobe while Bai Zhuo tiptoed downstairs. To his surprise, he heard a voice that made him grit his teeth.
"Hey, hey, hey, Zheng Ming, are you sure you got it right? There's no powerful aura here at all; there's nothing! Wow, what happened to this household? It looks like they were robbed! It's a mess, and the glass is shattered." The voice belonged to Kagura Keiha! And the other person was none other than Bai Zhuo's senior—Zheng Ming!
