Chapter 31: The unexpected visitor (2/2)

Couldn’t she have used a more humane gentle method to wake me? For instance, a slap or something?

I indistinctly heard a man’s voice from outside. Once again, I quietly tiptoed towards the door as I bent an ear to listen.

It was a man! A man’s voice!

I opened my mouth wide in shock and made a big assumption. Could it be Grandmother Meng’s boyfriend?

Based on how jittery Grandmother Meng was, this person definitely didn’t want her to play around with eccentric spiritual things.

Hmm, maybe I shouldn’t speak badly of her since I am part of this group as well….

“You were playing with those messed up things again, weren’t you?” Oh, she was caught? Hmmm, surprisingly, the man’s voice sounded younger than I thought.

“No! See? There’s nothing here!” Grandmother Meng quibbled.

“Then I’ll search! If I search and find something, then what?” The man exclaimed.

“Oh my wonderful grandson, now that you have grown up and you have ability, you speak to Grandmother in such a forceful tone. I can’t believe you don’t trust me. When you were little, if it weren’t for me….”

“Can you not bring up that incident every time we argue? Don’t you have any other tactics?” The man irritably grumbled. However, he did seem to abandon the thought of searching for suspicious articles.

Ohhh, so it turns out Grandmother Meng’s grandson has arrived. He doesn’t want his grandmother playing with ghosts and demons. No wonder Grandmother Meng is so nervous.

But why must she splash water all over me? After her grandson leaves, I’ll definitely get a fair deal from this! Hm, maybe I’ll tell her to give me 50% off for this appointment.

“Grandmother, you often have difficulties sleeping, right? I bought you a pillow that should help with sleep. I’m going to put it in your room!” I could hear his footsteps approaching closer and closer.

Ah?! He was going to come in here? I stared blankly at the door. My legs began to tremble.

Oh no! What should I do? Where can I hide?

“Ah?! Xiao Su. Don’t go inside the bedroom. I can bring it in later!” I could hear the desperation in Grandmother Meng’s voice as she tried to stop him. But it was too late…

Huh? Xiao Su? That name sounds so familiar…No wonder the man’s voice sounded so familiar. Could it be?

No, I can’t sit here and wait for death. It's better if I run out! Thinking of this, I took off my jacket and covered my head with it. Deep down, I planned to count to three and storm out.

After rushing for two seconds, turning right would lead me straight to the main exit. Lin Yixin! You can do it! I mapped out my entire route as I cheered myself on.

“One, two, three….”

I ran up to the door, just as I was about to grip and push the handle, someone from outside had already opened the door. I completely lost balance and fell forward. The person in front of me promptly avoided me and I fell down flat on the ground…

“Ah…!” Three people’s voices rang in the air.

One was a horrific yell, another was a guilty yelp, and lastly was a painful wail.

I fell flat on my face. Then, I stealthily arched my back and looked up. Through my cowering body, my jacket revealed my eyes. I made eye contact with the handsome and familiar face.

Grandmother Meng had already covered her eyes because she was too afraid to witness the following situation.

The male MC that I had collided. He scooped down and scrutinized me. Then, he pulled the jacket off my head and shockingly exclaimed, “Goldfish?!”
