Chapter 40 Ghosts
the next day.

Chen Lusi struggled to get up from the sofa, fumbled to pick up his phone, and found that Lin Wan had sent him more than a dozen emoticons and more than a dozen "traitors" early in the morning.

Inference from past experience.

She had to fire for at least five days in a row before she could calm down.

So Chen Lusi simply blocked her temporarily.

"It's clean."

Chen Lusi yawned, put down his phone, and went to wash up.

And when he came out of the bathroom, he picked up his phone again.

really.

Seeing that the chat software does not work.

Lin Wan started bombarding him with text messages.

Chen Lusi did not blacklist her mobile phone number, after all, he was also worried that he would not be able to reach her in an emergency, so he just muted the text messages on his mobile phone, put it in his pocket, and chose not to read it.

then.

Chen Lusi looked at the time and found that it was almost nine o'clock, so he left the house that Lin Ying rented.

Today he made an appointment with Wu You and Xia Panqiu to practice the technique.

……

I don't know if it's because the Qinyuanhefu district is special.

Obviously it's the morning rush hour.

After Chen Lusi walked out, he didn't meet a living person.

I didn't even see an old lady walking around...

Walk all the way to the elevator.

Chen Lusi pressed the button, then looked at the empty aisle, frowned slightly, and suspected that there were no ordinary people in this neighborhood at all.

Ding--

The sound of the elevator arriving.

Chen Lusi came back to his senses, and just as he was about to walk into the elevator bridge, he heard a soft 'ah'.

in the elevator.

Xia Panqiu leaned against the wall of the room, raised her head slightly, and looked at Chen Lusi, a little surprised.

Chen Lusi paused, also a little surprised.

He didn't expect that the first person he met early in the morning would be Xia Panqiu.

"morning."

Chen Lusi looked at her and greeted her first.

"morning……"

Xia Panqiu changed into a short white T-shirt today, which fits simply and looks good at the same time. Her lower body is still in blue jeans. Although she is not tall, the tight jeans perfectly fit the curve of her thighs. She made her pair of beaded, round and toned legs extraordinarily bright and eye-catching, quite like the girl next door.

White T-shirt, jeans, white canvas shoes.

Young, clean and beautiful.

Really fits all the good words.

It's just... I don't know if it's an illusion, but Chen Lusi always feels that the girl in front of him has changed a lot recently.

At least compared to when we first met, it has changed a lot.

But exactly what has changed...

Chen Lusi couldn't figure it out...it was strange.

"Do you live here?"

Chen Lusi noticed that Xia Panqiu was looking at him, and immediately put aside any extra thoughts, walked into the elevator, and asked a question at the same time.

"Ah."

Xia Panqiu nodded lightly: "Are you too?"

Chen Lusi shook his head, and replied, "No, I'm temporarily staying at Lin Ying's house."

"That's it."

Xia Panqiu responded softly, and then quietly moved into the corner, as if she wanted to give up the position to Chen Lusi.

Although Chen Lusi punched her yesterday.

The two chatted openly.

But in the end, the two didn't know each other for a long time.

Meeting by chance, there will still be a sense of distance.

In fact, Chen Lusi and Wu You also have a sense of distance, but the latter often uses neck hooks to eliminate the sense of distance, so it is not obvious.

But this kind of operation is obviously not suitable for Xia Panqiu.

So after a short conversation, the two fell silent.

The elevator quickly came to the first floor.

Chen Lusi walked out, and then deliberately slowed down. After Xia Panqiu also came out, he walked towards the exit of the community side by side with her.

But the two remained silent and did not have much conversation.

Xia Panqiu didn't know what to say.

Chen Lusi was thinking.

"I understand."

Just when the two walked out of the community.

Chen Lusi suddenly made a sound, and turned to look at Xia Panqiu.

"Huh?" Xia Panqiu raised her head slightly, a little puzzled.

"Your changes...I think you've changed a lot these days compared to before."

Chen Lusi explained: "But I haven't figured out what changed. I didn't realize it until just now. You don't wear glasses... You really don't suit round-frame glasses. This is much better and looks good."

"..."

Xia Panqiu was slightly taken aback, then slowly lowered his head, stretched out his hand to brush the pretty short hair on the side of his face, and said softly, "Thank you."

"Wearing contact lenses?"

"No, I'm actually not nearsighted..."

"Sure enough, it's a decoration...but it's normal when you think about it. You are so young, and Wu You doesn't seem like the kind of person who can keep a straight face. It's really normal to want to restrain newcomers and make yourself look more mature. Thoughts... But in fact, there is no need to do this at all, as long as you behave better than newcomers, it is enough to calm them down."

Chen Lusi said with a smile: "This is my experience."

"Um……"

Xia Panqiu's footsteps began to slow down unconsciously, falling behind Chen Lusi, and she responded again.

But before she could utter the final sound, she bumped into Chen Lusi's back.

Because Chen Lusi stopped suddenly.

"……do you know?"

Chen Lusi suddenly turned around, looked at her, and pointed forward at the same time.

Xia Panqiu looked up.

not far away.

On the landscape road outside the community, an old lady with silver hair was sitting on the ground, losing her temper like a child.

And the two real children, who looked only seven or eight years old, stood beside the old lady, holding the old lady's hand respectively, trying to pull each other up.

"I'm not pretty anymore...he doesn't want me anymore..."

A faint voice came.

Xia Panqiu was slightly taken aback, and then said: "I don't know, this is..."

"Probably Alzheimer's."

Chen Lusi replied, and then asked: "Have you never met them?"

"No..." Xia Panqiu shook his head lightly.

"Then go and have a look."

Chen Lu thought for a while, then took another step towards the old lady.

Seeing strangers approaching.

The two seven or eight-year-old girls seemed a little shy. Instead of forcing the old lady to get up, they stepped aside, letting Chen Lusi and Xia Panqiu pass by.

But Chen Lusi didn't go over, but stopped and asked, "What's wrong?"

The two little girls looked at each other, as if embarrassed to speak.

Instead, the old lady sat on the ground, looked at Chen Lusi, and continued to mutter: "I'm not pretty anymore...he doesn't want me anymore...he won't want me..."

Seeing her appearance, Chen Lusi confirmed that this was dementia.

"Where are your parents?"

He looked at the two little girls again and asked a question.

The two little girls lowered their heads and remained silent, as if they were very afraid of strangers.

Chen Lusi had no choice but to squat down and look at the whispering old lady: "You are very beautiful."

The old lady was stunned for a moment, then stopped murmuring immediately, and stared blankly at Chen Lusi.

Chen Lusi repeated: "You are beautiful, don't be afraid, get up first."

"Really?" the old lady asked tremblingly.

"Yes." Chen Lusi nodded.

"puff……"

The two little girls seemed to be amused by Chen Lusi's words.

The old lady just stayed where she was, and suddenly stopped moving.

Chen Lusi glanced at them, stood up, and wanted Xia Panqiu to call the police.

But Xia Panqiu suddenly held his hand.

Chen Lusi looked at her suspiciously.

Xia Panqiu's delicate and pretty face was full of dignity, while pulling him back, she whispered: "It's not a human being."

"?"

Chen Lusi froze for a moment, then turned around immediately.

"I am beautiful……"

The old lady sitting on the ground seemed to have finally come to her senses, stood up, grabbed the two little girls who were still giggling, looked at Chen Lusi, murmured softly, showed a smile, and then disappeared directly on the spot.

Chen Lusi: "..."

"The activation of the legend happened in the hinterland of the big city."

Xia Panqiu held Chen Lusi's hand gradually, not daring to say anything: "How is this possible..."
