Chapter 5: Of course you guys have to take full responsibility!

“Tell me what happened earlier. And what are you going to do about my ceiling? After we deal with these two issues, I will leave.” I leaned forward as I glared at Suyang.

“Ok ok ok. Let’s take it slow. I will explain.” Shen Shaoqian was acting like a middle man as he tried to soothe me. It seemed like he was afraid I would turn nuts and get into a physical fight with Suyang.

“The water pipes exploded two days ago. At the time, it wasn’t leaking a lot of water. Also, Suyang and I were too engrossed in our characters. So we weren’t aware.”

“Engrossed in your characters?”

“Suyang is a speculative author. This is his creation period. In order to obtain the real psychological emotions, we have already been facing each other in this room for two days. I am the murderer, and he is the victim.”

“Why are you telling her all this?” Suyang interrupted.

“I’m explaining to her!? Your temper….keep your mouth shut!”

For some reason, in my eyes, Suyang and Shen Shaoqian were like an old couple….could they be?

“No wonder your body odour was….” My mouth twitched.

“Originally, we were already finished. Unexpectedly, you arrived. So Suyang said, if he added a witness to the story, it might be even better…”

“But who would have thought you would be so senseless. You didn’t give me any inspiration.” Suyang interrupted again.

“I swear, what’s wrong with you? Do you have a ‘I won’t feel good unless I suppress others’ illness?’” I yelled.

“Alright alright alright. Calm down! Don’t be so emotional!” Shen Shaoqian deliberately stood in between me and Suyang to soften the situation.

Lunatics! I silently gave those two a label. Also, they do not seem like authors at all. They seem more like models? No, actors?

I was still furious at Suyang. I glared at him with Shen Shaoqian in between us. But then I saw something strange.

“Watch out!” I went past Shen Shaoqian and pulled Suyang behind me. Then, I yelled at my hot bodyguard, “What are you doing?!”

…..

Right away, the atmosphere seemed to freeze.

Allow me to explain: While I wasn’t paying attention, my hot bodyguard suddenly appeared behind Suyang and reached out to attack him.

I temporarily forgot that ghosts could not touch humans. But seeing his malicious intentions, I subconsciously wanted to protect Suyang. But from those two’s point of view, I was a crazy woman talking to air….eh?

“What are you doing?” Suyang was staring at his hand that I had grabbed onto. He appeared frightened. What? Did he assume I wanted to take advantage of him?

“I-I am not doing anything!” I awkwardly released his hand. My pupils were filled with doubt as my mind spun. Quick! Hurry up and think of an explanation! Explain this strange behaviour they had just witnessed.

My hot bodyguard gave me a puzzled expression; as if he was asking me why I wouldn’t allow him to beat up Suyang.

I gave him a glance to indicate that I wanted him to return home immediately.

“Umm…could we go to your apartment to see the damages? I think it’s about time we talk about the compensation….” asked Shen Shaoqian.
