CH SS 1 (2/2)

With a sullen face, shean editor is really not a job fit for the living”

Finally giving up on continuing with proofreading the draft on her computer, Ye Luo walked to the cardboard box This ti

If Yu Shu is really hiding inside, I’ to beat her to death!

Ye Luo tightened her fists and took a deep breath When the box shook again, she pulled it open in one breath, and a dark shado out in the blink of an eye, burrowing straight into Ye Luo’s chest, clinging to her bosoo…

Ye Luo froze, releasing her breath before she asked, “Why did you run out?”

She lowered her head to look at her chest, her expression actually softening a bit She whispered, “Yu Shu ain”

What was clinging to her chest was a save it a rub It was only around the size of her palray fur that was soft to the touch This was Yu Shu’s pet, a slider

“Gabi, be good Go back to your cage to sleep” Ye Luo patted the small animal on her chest This little felloas a nocturnal ani the daytie door hadn’t been closed, and Gabi had been hungry, that it had escaped to find food

Ye Luo turned, with the intention to go to the kitchen to search for pet feed Then, she’d return the little fellow to its cage to sleep Suddenly, she saw a person standing in the corner… No, there was no one there

In the blink of an eye, whatever had been there had disappeared completely There was only a pile of books by the corner No one was standing there

Did I see wrong? She hesitated a bit Even though it wasn’t uncommon for people to occasionally see people out of the corner of their eyes, only to discover that it was an illusion created from a pile of items that resembled a human’s silhouette, that particular pile of books was only half the height of a normal person What Ye Luo had seen was the shadow of a tall person The respective heights did not match up

There was another s in front of her chest She lowered her head to look Gabi was doing its utmost to burrow inside her shi+rt from her collar This scene stunned her a bit This little felloas very afraid of strangers When she had first come to Yu Shu’s place, she had nearly been bitten when she had tried to pet it

After co overher Even so, it definitely wouldn’t burrow into her shi+rt That kind of treat that only Yu Shu was able to enjoy

According to her, Gabi was a portable, tiny heater that didn’t need electricity—perfect for winter days By placing Gabi directly on the stomach, she could keep warement As for summer days, it was definitely a case ofthe pet, and the pet also avoiding the master

However, at this veryits utmost to burrow underneath Ye Luo’s clothes It was just that she’d buttoned her shi+rt high, and the collar was very narrow, so it was having some trouble Ye Luo hesitated for a moment before she si the little fellow scaave Ye Luo a relaxed feeling

There ca sound Ye Luo turned her head to look The box was half open, half shut There was the ih earlier?

Touching the warmth in front of her chest, Ye Luo walked over with a cold face She abruptly pulled open the cardboard box Inside the box, the dark shadow belonged to a pile of books that was half a person’s height Upon a closer look, she noted that they were books written by Yu Shu She didn’t knohy Yu Shu had piled the books there

Iher at all costs for her manuscript as of late Ye Luo relaxed her cold expression a bit The city was always filled with all sorts of sounds It was just that the sounds this tie

After she thought it through, she turned to head to the kitchen After she opened the cupboard doors, she took out Gabi’s feed with familiarity, and then she not-so-familiarly took Gabi out from beneath her clothes to feed it However, the little fellow didn’t want to eat and instead struggled wildly In a ed to alain

“Not hungry? Then why have you cory, ould a little nocturnal fellow run around in broad daylight instead of sleeping?

“I heard its cry When I opened the cage to look, it juetic voice

Ye Luo froze Even though she wanted to convince herself that maybe Yu Shu had returned, this was obviously a man’s voice!

“Where has Yu Shu gone?” She didn’t turn her head and merely asked her question calmly

“She said she was going to find the other person”

Finding so to her so nore sound, then maybe, possibly, he could be a normal person? Maybe it was Yu Shu’s friend?

With this kind of hope, Ye Luo turned

A blurry shadow stood by the kitchen entrance The entire body was transparent, like a hulass It had facial features, but they were all transparent, and this glass person was currently s It was obviously not an inanimate object

Ye Luo’s breathing hitched Even though she was always calm, there was no way she could stay calh she wanted to screa the exit If she wanted to escape, she would have to pass by its side!

Ye Luo tightened her hold on Gabi The war from her hands was her only comfort at the moment She clenched her teeth and made a dash for it The transparent shadow that stood by the door was violently slammed to the side by her… Actually, it couldn’t be considered violent The sensation that her action gave was very odd, like there was so aside a luth at all

Ye Luo rushed to the living rooet to pick up her laptop from the table on the way Then, she immediately took her customary left turn to race down the stairs But where were the stairs? There were only messy piles of books all over the place She was actually back in the living room?

She had obviously exited the place, but the situation right noas like she had just entered it!

Ye Luo was stunned Although she didn’t knoas going on, when she saw that the transparent shadoas standing on the other side of the living rooain… only to return to the living room once more

After entering and exiting several times, Ye Luo finally quashed the anxiety she felt She stopped her steps and no longer tried to flee She opened the front door but didn’t walk out of it She wanted to see what the situation outside was, but she could clearly see a dark flight of stairs…

Puzzled, Ye Luo exited again Before her eyes was brightness She hadn’t walked to the dark staircase but rather the bright living room She turned her head to look The apartment’s door was closed, but she clearly hadn’t pulled it closed

Now, Ye Luo understood that she couldn’t leave She finally gave up on fleeing and sat down on the sofa with a pale face, resigning herself to fate

During the process of Ye Luo’s fleeing and returning, the transparent shadow had stood by the kitchen door the entire time and had not approached

This person and this… thing, whatever it was, looked at each other, and both actually showed some trepidation

After a long observation, Ye Luo felt that the shadoas not scary or chilly It was just that the person was transparent Also, Gabi had actually fallen asleep while clinging to her This dispelled some of her nervousness Don’t they always say that anierous? If Gabi doesn’t have much of a reaction, then maybe it’s not that scary?

“How do I leave?” She tried asking

The shadow shook his head “I do not know I have never left before”

Even though she hadn’t received a satisfactory answer, she was able to confirm that the shadow didn’t mean her any harm He was even aware that she was scared of him, so he continued to stand by the kitchen door without entering the living room

After Ye Luo stayed silent for a while, she then opened her mouth to ask, “I made a cup of coffee earlier It’s in the kitchen Can I have it?” Of course, she didn’t care about the coffee She just wanted to see the other person’s reaction

He didn’t respond Instead, he turned to enter the kitchen Ye Luo was puzzled for a et her coffee for her As expected, he meant her no harm, yet that shadow didn’t come out of the kitchen for quite some time Rather, she heard a familiar sound It was the sound of the coffee machine

A rant cup of coffee sat before Ye Luo She was silent and began thinking about the probability that this shadow belonged to Yu Shu

She took the coffee, drinking it as she observed the shadow—this coffee was really good!

The shadoas quite tall and had broad shoulders The shape of the face and the figure all appeared to be male He was obviously not Yu Shu Also, after he placed down the coffee, he then stood silently by the table The other side of the table, even, the exact opposite corner, since he seehtened of him Ye Luo suddenly felt that he was a really considerate man—what nonsense, he wasn’t even a hu him a man?

Even though he wasn’t huhost, he didn’t seem to be an evil one All this time, he hadn’t shown any malicious intent Since she was now confident that her life was not being threatened, Ye Luo felt that there was no longer a reason to be overly afraid

Her tension and fear receded, and Ye Luo returned to her usual expressionless appearance After she drank a few sips of coffee, she asked indifferently, “Are you a ghost?”

“A ghost?” The other person didn’t seem to kno to respond A puzzled expression could be observed despite his transparent facial features He shook his head “I don’t knohat I am either”

“I’m Ye Luo Do you have a name?” Ye Luo purposely asked If the other person held malicious intent, then he wouldn’t be so senseless as to tell her his naht?

The shadow nodded and said, “Yes” After he finished speaking, he lowered his head a bit, and in a slightly sorrowful tone, he said, “But I have already forgotten it”

When she heard his grief over forgetting his name, Ye Luo did feel sympathetic, but she was more relieved by her apparent safety She couldn’t help but drink o?”

“She went to find the other person”

This was the second time that he had answered this way

“Where did she go to find that person?” Ye Luo asked a bit angrily She didn’t turn in herin her hoh the front door Does she think she won’t need to turn in her manuscript if she scares her editor to death?

The shadow raised a hand and gestured Ye Luo looked in that direction, and surprisingly, he was pointing at that black box

Noro inside a three meter wide cardboard box to search for someone, Ye Luo would hand him a business card for a psychiatrist However, with a seht in front of her, and a front door that she couldn’t leave through, she had no choice but to consider the possibility

“There’s no one inside the box” Ye Luo had checked earlier Inside, there was even a pile of books that was half a person’s height Even a child wouldn’t be able to fit inside

The shadow insisted, “She went inside”

Ye Luo remained silent She decided not to delve further into the ated too much and discovered that the author she had worked with for the past five years was actually not huer her for her manuscripts in the future?

“Do you knohen she’ll return?” Yu Shu, with how you are, do you think you can be a God? Even if you’re playing around with the occult, you still need to turn in your manuscript!

The shadow shook his head “She only said that she was going to find someone She told me to look after the place”

“How long has she been gone?”

The shadoed a puzzled expression again and ’?”

Ye Luo was taken aback It seehost is rather dim-witted?

“Raising a dihost at ho you would do, Yu Shu?” Ye Luo sighed heavily and began explaining, “’How long’ refers to ti on the wall over there? That’s…”
