Chapter 37: 24 hours date (Part 1) (2/2)

I heard “one, two.” Then, my entire body was in the air. Although I was still hidden beneath my blanket, I was confident that Suyang had lifted me and the blanket up together.

I silently sighed on the inside. Who would have thought such a skinny guy would have so much strength? However, a part of me didn’t believe he could maintain this. So, I tightly gripped on the blanket with both hands. I was afraid to be dropped.

“Ai ai ai! Put me down! Put me down!” With the blanket between us, I smacked Suyang.

“Are you awake now?”

“I’m awake! Awake! Now, put me down!”

Suyang immediately released me and my entire bundled body fell onto the ground. I poked my face out of the blanket and breathed in fresh air. I could see Suyang above my forehead. He raised his hands and calmly said, “I put you down.”

“Are you crazy? Do you want me to die from the fall?” I scrambled up with difficulty as I punched Suyang with my weak fists. “What time is it right now? Why must we go on a date at this time? Are you a lunatic? Are we going on a madman date?”

My attack seemed to have no effect on Suyang at all. He looked down at his watch and stated, “You have already wasted ten minutes of my time. We only have 23 hours, 55 minutes, and 23 seconds left together. I’m going to give you an additional ten minutes to change. The time starts now. 600, 599, 598….”

Suddenly, Suyang began to countdown on his own.

I didn’t want to, but when I heard Suyang counting down, I couldn’t help but feel anxious. So I hastily stood up and rushed to find clothes to change into. Then, I went to the washroom to brush my teeth and wash my face.

From the crack between the bedroom and the washroom, I could see Suyang sitting on the couch. He was counting down as he attentively stared at his watch.

Suyang is my mortal enemy. Did I slaughter him in my previous life? Why must he torment me so much in this life?

By the time I was completely ready to report to Suyang, he had already counted to negative 1584.

“You are so slow….” Suyang lifted his head and glared at me, frowning.

Suyang, you should be grateful for socialism. If killing was not illegal, you would’ve already died thousands of times under my blade!

“It's already very fast for a woman! I didn’t even wash my hair!” I showed Suyang my hair, and he had a disapproval glint in his eyes as he pushed me away.

“Starting from now, our 24 hours date is effective. Although, we’ve already wasted a lot of time since you’re so slow. But that’s ok. As a gentleman, waiting is a very important lesson. So, I forgive you.”

Wasn’t this what I said earlier? Suyang was already putting my words into practice?

“I want to know why the date must begin at midnight? Are we going to a nightclub?” I was very anxious. If we were going to a place like a nightclub, the lighting and crazy people there will make it even harder for me to figure out who's human or ghost.

“No! We’re not going to a nightclub. Don’t worry about it. I have already planned this ahead of time. I only need you to listen and cooperate.”

Cooperate? If he didn’t mention it, I would have forgotten that I was only Suyang’s assistant. My job was to help him get into his character for his novel. We weren’t actually going on a real date.

Ugggh. Why couldn’t he simply write his murder mystery? Why must he include a love element? At the end of the day, I was the one who had to suffer…

When we left, my hot bodyguard was currently sleeping very soundly across the hall. Deep down, I sighed. Even a ghost can sleep better than me….I couldn’t even compare to a ghost.

While I thought to myself, Suyang stepped over my hot bodyguard.

Both my mind and body were exhausted as I entered the car. The drive was almost two hours long. During the ride, I kept dozing off. I secretly glanced at Suyang from the side angle. He said I was wasting time. The time he spent driving was wasting time!

Since we were silent in the car, sleepiness began to attack me once again. The nodding doll at the front of the car made it especially difficult to stay awake. The doll was holding onto a plant as it smiled and nodded at me.

It was supposed to be a cute decoration, but to me, it was a prop for hypnosis. The longer I gazed at it, the more tired I felt. I yawned a few times in between, to the point where tears were about to come out.

Just as I was about to shut my eyes again, a white hand appeared in front of me, waving. Initially, I thought it was Suyang’s hand. I wanted to lie and say I wasn’t tired. But I saw his two hands on the steering wheel…

Then, I took a look at the rear mirror and saw Xu Weishan’s hand.

She was sitting at the backseat.
