9 Love or Life? 9 (1/2)

For a while, the whole car was filled with stagnant air until Xi Sheng broke the silence.

Her hands shuddered as she asks:”This world is a scientific and modern period. So, supernatural is impossible... Right?”

008's eyes glinted vengeance but were soon replaced by magnanimity:”Host, the possibility of unknown forces to appear are quite high.”

Let me scare you for a bit.

After hearing his answer, Xi Sheng's whole body became tense. She suddenly felt several gazes directed at her, and the temperature decrease bit by bit.

008 was trying to maintain a calm demeanor, while his shaking shoulders and contorted smile say otherwise...

Mechanical voice who was watching the bullshit scenario cannot help but to raise his eyebrow. He glances at a certain someone who was smiling victoriously as if he's not scared of paranormal existence.

[Yes, ghosts and other spooky stuffs might appear in this world.]

008 who was smiling earlier was jolted awake.

You're kidding, right?

Suddenly, cold wind brushes into Xi Sheng's pallid and sweaty forehead.

Her eyes became even more lifeless:”I swear, I freaking closed all of the car windows earlier.”

Then again, a freezing wind dance inside the car.

Xi Sheng lowers her head and closes her eyes.

She inhales a mouthful of air and dispels it calmly. She repeated these steps for an umpteenth time.

008 who was also copying Xi Sheng looks peaceful and still.

This scene actually appears harmonious and lovely. A pity that this tranquil setting is nothing but a veil that covers the tumultuous truth.

Xi Sheng:”I'm not scared of ghosts. I'm not scared of ghosts. I'm not scared of ghosts...”

008:”They can't hurt me. They can't hurt me. They can't hurt me...”

[Kidding. They don't exist in this world.]

His remark causes the two cowards to pause and regain their hypocritical bravery.

Xi Sheng which is still shaking:”I.. I know! And I'm not afraid of them!”

008:”...yes! And they can't even hurt me anyway!”

Mechanical voice: [Your self-deceptive chants seem working.]

Continue to delude yourselves.

Xi Sheng organizes the stack of documents and heard a screech coming from the window.

Cold air blew past her from the slight opening from the window.

Xi Sheng breathes in the cold air...

Just calm down...

Truth is, the weight of the documents is quite heavy and Xi Sheng unknowingly put the stack in her lap, half of its weight were pressing down in the window button, causing the window to open.

Stumbling upon this truth, Xi Sheng tries to appease herself.

I am a civilised human, a law-abiding citizen, I respect everyone, I don't like violence, I love peace....

However, Xi Sheng cannot repress the urge to wreck havoc and she fell into utter vehemence.

--Boom!

She threw the documents at the back of the car. Papers were flying like frantic snow.

She punches the papers that falls into her and curses at them.

While she's busy venting her stress, 008 is also occupied in releasing his distress. He jumps around the space like a sore idiot.

At the end of their outburst, Xi Sheng gathers the papers and reorganised it, 008 collected oxygen and stabilised his breathing pattern.

I am still a human, that's all that matters.

I am the great system...

Mechanical voice said nonchalantly: [Wow.]

The power to deceive yourselves is really amazing.

...

When 4 pm arrived, Xi Sheng ended her reading time and went to Yu Zhan's house.

”You're here,” Yu Zhan appeared in a pink apron that was gifted by Xi Sheng.

”Let's eat first, shall we?”

He pulls the chair and waited until Xi Sheng sat on it.

”I know that you love these dishes, so I specifically made it just for you. I really hope that my humble cooking will satisfy you.”

Peking duck, sweet and sour pork, Sichuan mapo tofu, dumplings, spring roll... These are all her favorites.

008:”He's delivering you to your last meal.”

Xi Sheng:”Shut up.”

She looks into his eyes and inquires what's going on, but she was met with a sad smile.

”Sheng, I know that you don't like celebrating our anniversary. But I still like to have a meal with you in our 4th anniversary.”

008:”4th? Coincidence or not?”

Xi Sheng:”Will it kill you to shut your mouth for the time being?”

008 retorts back:”It will kill me in not making you regret your decision.”

Xi Sheng sighs and did the first bite.

”Tasty.”

When Yu Zhan heard her praise, he beams a shy and coquettish smile.

The air was filled with harmony until 008 speaks with his filthy mouth.
