Rebirth: Ghost Exorciser

Chapter 1584 - 1584 Outburst

1584 Outburst

Jing Hengran’s eyes lit up when he heard this. Looking at the young lady’s calm face in front of him, however, he immediately understood that he was thinking too much. She was just being polite.

Jing Hengran was a bit disappointed. In the past, as long as he deliberately got close and showered the other party with a certain amount of attention, what woman wouldn’t blush and be bashful, and express their goodwill first?

Only the young lady in front of him didn’t seem to change her attitude toward him at all. No matter how gentle, concerned or ambiguous his behavior was, she wasn’t moved at all. Jing Hengran couldn’t help but wonder if she was too young and didn’t understand love at all.

Jing Hengran subconsciously sized up the young lady in front of him. Sure enough, her face was still quite young, but her overall appearance was to his liking, as if they were based on his preferences.

!!

It was said that the more one looked at a beauty under the light, the more beautiful she looked. The more Jing Hengran looked at Shuyan, the more his heart thumped. The young lady’s skin was fair to begin with, and under the light, her skin was very fair and translucent. Her features were very exquisite and animated. Although her little face looked a little immature and there was some baby fat on her cheeks, her eyebrows exuded a mature charm. Such a contradictory temperament was very attractive.

At that moment, Jing Hengran even forgot his initial goal and was unusually nervous in front of her. This was the first time in his life that he was so nervous, like a young kid seeing a woman for the first time.

Fortunately, he wasn’t a real brat. He suppressed the shock in his heart and slowly calmed down. He looked out the window and smiled gently. “Then, I’ll have to trouble you, Shuyan!”

Staying the night this time was also an opportunity to get closer, right?

Chi Shuyan nodded politely at Jing Hengran and replied, “It’s no trouble.” She then handed the matter to Chef Li. Chef Li was reliable, so Chi Shuyan was reassured.

After handing the matter over to Chef Li, Chi Shuyan went upstairs to take a shower and sleep.

Back in her room, she looked at the time. She hadn’t talked to Jing Hengran for long, but she didn’t expect it to be almost 11:30pm.

She had been thinking of calling Qi Zhenbai to ask if he was home yet. Since it was so late, she wouldn’t wake him.

After taking a shower, Chi Shuyan reclined in bed in her pajamas and wasn’t in a hurry to sleep. Instead, she took out her phone and scrolled through WeChat. She looked at her messages and missed calls. After confirming that no one had sent her messages or called her, Chi Shuyan was a little disappointed even though she knew that it was late.

Wait, did she misunderstand that the other party wanted to get back together?

Thinking about it, apart from picking her up to see Grandpa, he hadn’t done anything else in the past two days. He hadn’t even said anything telling.

Could it be that she had really misunderstood?

There were some things she couldn’t think too much about. The more she thought, the less sleepy she became. Chi Shuyan sat up and rubbed her head. She couldn’t help but think of the last time the other party had asked her with a complicated expression if she had a boyfriend.

She recalled how she had casually replied with a perfunctory, “Oh, I see!” that day, then turned around and left. At that time, her feelings had been too complicated, and she hadn’t even looked at the other party’s expression.

At that moment, Chi Shuyan regretted not looking at the other party’s expression back then. If she had misunderstood that he wanted to get back together, she would be making a fool of herself.

The more Chi Shuyan thought about it, the more annoyed she became, and she simply couldn’t be bothered to dwell on it. As the saying went, things would work themselves out. She was prepared to let nature take its course in their relationship. If the other party clearly wanted to get back together, she wouldn’t refuse. However, before the man made it clear, she still had to calm down. It wouldn’t be good if she really misunderstood and made a fool of herself.

Thinking this, Chi Shuyan calmed down and felt sleepy. She lay down on the bed and turned off the light to sleep.

It was just that a few seconds after she turned off the light, her phone on the bedside table suddenly rang. It was so loud that her head hurt.

Chi Shuyan immediately opened her eyes and reached out to pick up her phone. As the screen flashed, she saw an extremely familiar caller ID. Surprise flashed in Chi Shuyan’s eyes, and the corners of her mouth couldn’t help but curl up. Her sleepiness was gone, and she calmed down before she picked up the call. Her tone was as calm as ever, neither distant nor intimate. “Hello!”

The other party didn’t say anything.

Chi Shuyan thought at first that she had accidentally pressed a button and the call had been cut off. She tilted her head and saw that the call was still connected. She heaved a sigh of relief and continued, “Qi… Zhenbai? Is that you?”

“Come out!” The man’s voice was hoarse and deep. Although it was still very magnetic, it didn’t sound as good as usual. It was like the sound of grinding gravel, hoarse and heavy.

When Chi Shuyan heard what the other party said, she thought she had misheard. He was calling her out so late at night? She subconsciously looked out the window. Unfortunately, she didn’t turn on the light. It was dark outside, and she could only hear the pouring rain.

But it was so late. Where was she supposed to go?

Chi Shuyan calmed down for a moment before she said, “It’s a little inconvenient at this late hour. Why don’t we…”

Unfortunately, before she could finish speaking, the man raised his voice again. This time, his tone was indescribably flustered and filled with anger. “Come out!”

She was about to reply, when she suddenly heard the sound of a car door being kicked over the phone. Chi Shuyan’s right eyelid twitched at the sound. The sound of the rain and the man’s rapid breathing filled her ears, and her heart roiled with emotion.

Just as she was feeling bewildered, she heard the sound of a car engine outside. Wait, had the man been outside the whole time, and was only leaving now?

Chi Shuyan was immediately no longer drowsy. With her phone pressed to her ear, she immediately put on her shoes and got out of bed to walk to the balcony to see if he really hadn’t left, and if his car was still parked outside her house.

As soon as she went out, she heard a loud bang, and her heart jumped. Before she reached the balcony, she heard Chef Li’s panicked voice outside. “Miss Shuyan, bad news. Someone hit our gate! Someone crashed into our gate!”

Chi Shuyan had already walked to the balcony by then, and she saw that a car with a very familiar license plate had crashed into her gate. Chi Shuyan’s right eyelid twitched violently.

For a moment, she couldn’t understand what was going on.

She had still been in the mood to chat with this man in the middle of the night, but when she saw him crash the car into her gate, she almost died of fright. She was no longer in the mood to reminisce, and could only say anxiously, “I’ll go out. Don’t hit my gate!”

Although she was worried that the gate was broken and would be difficult to fix, she was more worried that something had happened to this man after he hit the metal gate.

Chi Shuyan didn’t have time to think or change. She immediately walked to the door from the balcony. As she walked, she kept warning the other party not to crash into the gate. She would go out now.

When she opened the door, she didn’t even have time to comfort Chef Li, and only told him to go and see Jing Hengran. After all, Jing Hengran was a guest. She felt quite apologetic that this had happened when he was staying the night, and had even disturbed him. After explaining the matter to Chef Li, she said, “Chef Li, I’m going out for a while!”

“Miss Shuyan, it’s raining heavily outside. Don’t forget to use an umbrella!” Chef Li exhorted.

“Okay!”
