Ming Yan likes who

  Logically speaking, I should be happy instead, because what Yuan Xue said makes sense. If she doesn't reincarnate, then I can also retire completely.

  But judging from the current situation, I seem to have already gotten myself entangled in this matter and can't back out now. It's no longer up to me to say I won't do it; those people won't let me off that easily. And yet, at a time like this, she actually tells me I can withdraw - how easy is that?

  None of this matters, but today I finally understood the simple little girl in front of me. I really underestimated her, to put it bluntly, some people looked down on her. I thought she was a child and could follow my own footsteps, but I didn't think that every step I took was unknowingly walking into her clever design.

  Like father, like son. If the old man is so clever, how can his children be bad? Although she's just a teenager, she's got me wrapped around her finger, you can see the cunning in her.

  It's really knowing people and faces but not hearts. This little girl in front of me is that kind of person, appearing harmless to others, but actually every step she takes is carefully planned, manipulating every move on the chessboard.

  If it weren't for her falling in love with Ming Yan, perhaps I wouldn't have realized my own foolishness and her cleverness until now.

  My heart is bitterly smiling. It seems that no matter if I'm looking at people or ghosts, I just can't understand them, but instead they see right through me. How stupid I am.

  I let go of Yuan Xue's hand, stood up and took a deep breath in front of the window, looking out at the scenery outside. "Don't worry, as long as Ming Yan says he likes you, I won't compete with him. Instead, I'll even help you two be together. After all, you're ghosts and I'm human, we live in two different worlds that will never intersect unless one of us dies. Ming Yan is just my nominal partner, once this matter is resolved, whether you two fly together or hide in the underworld, it has nothing to do with me. I'll also find a way to retreat completely."

  Through the glass reflection, I saw Yuan Xue look somewhat stunned, then lowered her head with a hint of guilt. "Sorry, Little Yue sister, you're a good person, I didn't mean to put you in danger, it was Father's idea, he also hopes I can let go. But I don't want to be reborn, I like Ming Yan brother, so..."

  It's pointless to explain now, after I realized that person's intentions, my impression of him has changed. This girl, I used to think of her as a little sister, but now she's just an acquaintance at most, not even a friend.

  A faint smile appeared on his face, "I understand, your dad's money isn't taken for nothing. Today, Chang Yu brought the stuff back, I'll consider handing it over to him. How the two parties will fight later has nothing to do with me."

  It's all so simple! Everyone is more cunning than me, I'm the one who's really lacking in wit. Now that I've learned my lesson, this feeling is truly unbearable.

  Yuan Xue wanted to say something else, but I stopped her and just said she wanted some quiet time.

  When I opened my eyes and woke up, the curtains had been pulled up at some point, and in front of me was another blurry figure.

  I don't need to take a closer look, I know it's Ming Yan, this lingering ghost. It's fine if I see ghosts in my dreams, but there's still one waiting for me outside. My head is throbbing as I stick to the glass on the table, and I complain in a muffled tone: "Can't you just let me be peaceful for a moment? I'm seeing ghosts in my dreams and being bothered by you when I'm awake!"

  Pressing the temples, not telling lies is really chaotic. Yawning and sitting up to look at Ming Yan, I found that he was staring at me with an expression I didn't understand, his eyes full of grievance and worry.

  I took out two painkiller tablets from the drawer, popped them into my mouth and swallowed them with a gulp of water. I glanced at him sideways, feeling somewhat unbearable in this atmosphere, rubbed my face to wake myself up and said, "What's wrong with you again, boss?"

  "Xiao Yue, did Yuan Xue say something to you? Are you planning on giving up?" Ming Yan furrowed his brow, his eyes fixed intently on me as he leaned against the table, his bright black pupils gleaming with a hint of uncertainty.

  I looked at him with a tilted head and a puzzled expression, unable to understand what his face meant. Was I wrong to let them fly together in pairs?

  His words made me a bit annoyed, and at this time, he actually asked me like that? Thinking of their ambiguous appearance, I couldn't help but feel sour, and my tone was also somewhat acidic: "Yeah, isn't this great? I'm free now, you two can be together, why not? Or do you want to turn me into one of your kind before you're satisfied?"

  "No, I said I'd protect you, why are you pushing me to someone else?" My words of reason, unexpectedly really stimulated him, and he pulled me up like that, grasping my shoulder in a very painful way, his grip could crush my bones at any time.

  I was dazed and seeing stars, but I didn't care about any of that. What I cared about most was what he said. Summoning my spirit to steady myself, I grasped the edge of the table, lifted my head and smiled foolishly at him, "Ming Yan, what do you mean? What's this about me pushing you onto someone else? Obviously it was you guys who put yourselves in front of me for me to see. Could it be that what I saw with my own eyes is fake? You say I like to cause trouble without reason, but I think you're even more unreasonable than me."

  Does the ghost have any medicine to take? I think after going back, I should find Chang Yu to accompany him to take his medicine, so as not to get convulsions.

  The dark pupils of his eyes suddenly opened wide, and the hand that was tightly grasping my shoulder loosened its grip. He stood in front of me like a deflated balloon, looking very downcast. He muttered: "It's not what you think it is, she insisted on hugging me. I don't like Yuan Xue, the person I like is the girl who unintentionally saved me, that kind and honest girl. She would cry for me, laugh for me, and even get angry with me. Not someone with ulterior motives, using others' kindness for their own selfish purposes or a ghost."

  I clutched at my chest tightly, took two unsteady steps back, stared at him with wide eyes, and tears welled up in my eyes.
