piecing together the soul

Chapter 5 My Name Is Xiuying

It was past seven o'clock when the packing was done, and I said hello to my roommate who just woke up and was going to practice before lying down.It was the time when it was noisy outside, because the class started at eight o'clock.It was quite difficult for me to fall asleep, and I didn't fall asleep until after eight o'clock when the outside became quiet.

It was already two o'clock in the afternoon when I woke up, to be precise, I woke up from hunger.I opened the curtain and looked around. There were eight people in the dormitory, three for internships, three for self-study, one for homework, and no one else.

"Are you there?" I asked angrily.

"Yes." A human head appeared in front of me in response, which startled me again.

I took a moment to say, "Didn't you say you couldn't see you during the day?"

"The girls' dormitory is very gloomy, and your dormitory is also very dark," he said, "Your dormmate is quite considerate, watching you fall asleep, he is very gentle, and even turned off the lights and locked the door. "

"Of course." Speaking of these roommates, I was still full of warmth, so I asked again, "Don't scare them, and don't look around."

He curled his lips helplessly: "It's the most torture if you can't see it. I don't like to watch it. Besides...just your dormitory..."

"What do you mean?" I was slightly displeased to hear his disgust.

He seemed to have heard my displeasure, and quickly smiled and said, "It's nothing else."

"I also know that there is only one quiet and gentle girl in our room of women." I said, "Speaking of which, if you want to meet a soft girl, she can't help you."

"Yes, yes," he smiled apologetically, "let's set off tonight."

"Leaving? What are you doing?"

"Find my body," he said, "find my upper body tonight."

"Will you not allow me to rest for a day?"

"You said that your time is precious." He said, "I have found my head, two arms, two legs, plus an upper body, and I will find it in another five nights. Hello after this is over. Do what you have to do."

Hearing what he said was reasonable, I sat up, picked up the water glass and said, "It's also a way."

"Then let's go tonight."

"Where is it?" I asked, drinking water.

"The Royal Palace."

After hearing this, I really spit out the water I drank, but even so, I still choked.

"You should be more careful," he said, "the big girl's house is dirty with a single bottle of water."

Hearing his disgust, I said impatiently: "Stop talking nonsense! Can I do this if you don't scare me?"

While I was pulling out a piece of paper to wipe the bill, I heard him complain: "Why did you scare me? Didn't I just tell the truth?"

"What kind of place is the Forbidden City?" I said, "The museum is cleared at five o'clock in the afternoon, and you are not allowed to stay until night. Even if I can not be cleared out, how dare I go out and wander around in such a place? You don't know that place is supernatural. Is it very good?"

"Really?" he asked back, "I haven't been there."

"You haven't been there yet? Your competitor is quite powerful, and they buried you in the imperial city."

"That place has a dragon's aura, suppressing the corpses. As long as my part of the body does not leave the imperial city, I will have to wander forever."

"How can you be sure that you are in the palace?"

"My body, of course I know," he said.

I picked up my phone and pretended to be checking text messages, but I was actually counting the time.It takes more than an hour to drive from our school to the Forbidden City. It takes at least 20 minutes for me to pack up and go out in this state. Now September is the peak season, and the Forbidden City stops selling tickets at 02 o'clock. I just need to wait until 30:[-]. It must be too late, and there is no need to go today.

I thought about this a lot, but it only took a moment in my mind, so I started to chatter: "By the way, I don't know your name until now, so I can't just call you 'hey', can I?"

"My surname is Wang. At that time they were all called Xiao Wang, and later called Boss Wang."

"Name name!" I asked.

"If I don't tell you, you'll laugh at me."

"Joking at you?" I suddenly became interested, "That's more to say! I just don't make fun of you."

"Xiuying..."

I really couldn't hold back, and laughed loudly: "No...your parents really love you, and they raised you like a daughter."

"Just say you have to laugh..." I secretly looked at him, and found that he seemed a little shy. I suppressed my smile and said solemnly: "Okay, I told you not to laugh at you, just don't laugh. That's it Well, I can't call you Xiuying, nor can I call you Uncle Wang..."

Speaking of this, I couldn't help laughing again, he was still a little shy, but I also smiled a little: "Then what do you call me?"

I thought for a while and said, "Brother Xiu. Considering the age of your death, I should call you Brother Sheng."

When I recovered from laughing, I found that he was in a daze, so I asked, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." He didn't answer, and after a while, he asked, "What time is it? Are you going?"

I pretended to be surprised: "Oh! I was so busy talking, I forgot about it. It's already 02:30, so it's too late."

"Then let's not go."

Is the Virgo so easy to talk to?Just as I was thinking about it, I heard him say the next sentence: "It's also in your school, let's dig this first today."

... I was really speechless, and after a while I said: "Tell me, tell me first, where are the rest of you, so that I can prepare myself."

"I don't know what the specific location is called now, but I know all the places." Brother Xiu said, "I will tell you one by one in the future. If you didn't hesitate to go to the palace today, I still don't want to tell you about the location of your school." There are too."

It seemed that I couldn’t escape tonight, so I got up in my pajamas, cut open the sealed cardboard box, took out the shovel, glued it again, and put the shovel into a long bag of mine. "Fortunately, I have such a bag. Another girl doesn't even have a bag that can hold a shovel."

"Yes," he said, "I still believe in fate, and there must be some kind of fate between us."

"Who is destined to be with you?" I immediately retorted, "Don't you have a wife and children? What are you doing?"

"Are you saying that you are my wife's reincarnation?"

"Get out!" I couldn't bear it anymore, and scolded him while packing my bag, "You've been dead for so many years, what's the fuss about? I promised to help you, so what are you trying to do?"

"Then how do you know what my wife thought back then?"

"What do you think?"

He said very seriously: "You said this morning that she loved me very much, but she still chose to go home... She chose to go home by herself, rather than being arrested by her family."

I sighed: "Just talking casually, do you still take it seriously?"

"But when you fell asleep, I kept thinking. I think you are right. That's what she should think. She was very happy when we eloped, but since she was pregnant, she has been depressed day by day. Little, I didn't pay much attention to it at the time..."

"You don't have to worry about it, maybe her bad mood is just a reaction after pregnancy, nothing else." I casually comforted.

He was taken aback again, and said, "I asked her what was wrong, and that's what she said."

I couldn't bear it anymore: "Your uncle! There is no end! Women's hearts are connected. It's a woman who wants to say so, what's so strange?"

"You?" He muttered, "How do you look like a woman..."

I was so angry that I dropped my bag, gave him a blank look, went back to bed and lay down, pulled the quilt and didn't speak.

"Hey, hey," he said with a smile on his side, "Don't be angry, don't be angry, I was wrong."

I also know that it is not a solution not to send him away, but fortunately I am not small, and after a while I said: "I warn you, now I see you are pitiful, if you want to help you, you have to be a beggar Attitude, understand?"

"I know, I know." Seeing me talking, he continued to smile apologetically, "It's my fault, so I won't talk about you. If you laugh at me casually, I won't be angry."

"You still dare to be angry?" I snorted, got up and continued to pack my things, fortunately I don't have to go far tonight, and I don't need to bring too much.

After tidying up, I turned on the headlights in the dormitory, and sure enough his shadow was much lighter, and I lowered my voice subconsciously: "They may come back one after another later, you are not allowed to talk, I will go out when it is dark, Just go out with me and take me to the place where your body is buried, understand?"

"Okay, okay, of course I understand."

Maybe it's something on my mind. I can't sleep or read a book now, but I feel hungry.So I washed up, went down to grab a meal, and ate while watching a drama.Wang Xiuying watched it with me, and we discussed it from time to time.I always feel that no matter what video I watch, it is only interesting if someone watches it together and complains together, especially when two people have the same opinion, there will be a sense of bosom friend.It just so happens that Brother Xiu and I have similar opinions, probably because of the relationship between the earth signs.

"Why do I feel that I really knew you before?" He said suddenly.

"Go away!" I said, "Are you done yet?"

"You, do you have friends?" Hearing his guessing tone, I gave him a sideways glance and said nothing.

"You must have friends!" he said with certainty.

"How...how do you know?" I asked back.

He smiled meanly: "If you don't have a boyfriend, why wouldn't you be tempted to see someone so handsome like me?"

This man, uh no, this ghost is so cheap, I just couldn't be bothered to talk to him, so I said harshly, "No matter how bad I am, I won't be tempted by ghosts."

"What kind of person is your friend?" he began to ask.

I said while eating: "Well, if he knows that you are a ghost like you who is accompanying me to eat and watch dramas with me, he will definitely drive you out of your wits."

"So narrow-minded?"

"Do you understand?" I couldn't get angry with him, "That's called love, okay?"

As I was talking, my phone rang.Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, it turned out to be my boyfriend, I picked up and heard him say: "Why haven't you called me?"

"I'm reading a book, forget about it."

"Review should also pay more attention to rest, come out for dinner at night."

"I still have to read a book~"

"It's Friday, let's take a rest."

"Is it Friday?" I was taken aback. "Let's eat tomorrow night, and take a walk outside to relax. Let's not go today."

"That's fine," he said, "don't be too tired, where are you now?"

"I'm reading a book."

"Where are you?"

"Dormitory, read in the dormitory. Too lazy to go out."

"Just be lazy~" I was still very happy to hear his coquettish tone, "Then let's not talk about it, you should read the book carefully."

"Hmm." I replied obediently.

"You hang up." After he finished, I hung up the phone.

A shallow shadow of a human head next to me floated in mid-air, facing me but not looking at me, until I glanced at him, he said: "Didn't you see, the five big and three thick ones have such a gentle side, huh?"

"Go away!" I cursed again.

"Hey," he was a little disgusted and teased, "Who was it just now, how sweet was that voice—'I still have to read a book~' Huh, why do you seem to be a different person?"

I bit my lip, stabilized my mind, and said with a smile: "Brother Xiu, are you jealous?"

"Jealous? What is jealousy? Who are you to me? What does it have to do with me? What kind of jealousy am I?"

I continued to run on him: "The reaction is so intense. This is called trying to cover up."

But he suddenly stopped talking and stared at me with a hint of a smile in his eyes.His look made me feel a little uncomfortable, after all, he is a ghost. "What are you doing?" I asked.

"Hmph," he raised the corner of his mouth, "anyway, you lied to your boyfriend just now for me."

"How did I lie?"

"You are obviously with me, but you lied to him that you are reading a book!"
