Chapter 674: Chapter 674: Could it be... He is a ghost?
Dudu dudu, the phone connected almost immediately.
Seeing this, Lin Yuwei was both excited and angry.
She wouldn’t pick up her calls, but as soon as Qianxun called, Xiong Bo was on the line—what was this guy playing at?
...
"Hello, Xiong Bo, where are you now? Xiao Weiwei said she saw you raising a panda?" Qianxun’s voice carried a hint of teasing.
Upon hearing this, Xiong Bo instantly felt guilty and then grunted, saying, "Is Yuwei with you? Can we step aside and talk?"
After hearing this, Qianxun glanced at Lin Yuwei, grunted in response, "Sure, just wait a moment."
With that, she turned to Lin Yuwei, "I’ll go to the balcony and hear what he has to say; don’t be anxious."
Lin Yuwei listened and nodded sullenly.
This guy, actually having a phone call and asking Qianxun to keep it a secret from her!
Hmph!
Afterward, Qianxun went out to the balcony, then said, "Okay, you can speak now."
Only then did Xiong Bo say, "The other day, I transformed back to my original form and fell asleep in the living room. Who would have thought that Yuwei would burst in at midnight and find me? She thinks I am raising a panda and even found some evidence. I’m at a loss as to how to face her now," said Xiong Bo, distressed.
Hearing this, Qianxun couldn’t help but smile and said, "Haven’t you thought about telling her your true identity?"
At those words, Xiong Bo hastily said, "How could I do that? What if it scares her to death?"
"So you’d rather keep hiding from her forever? Watch her be sad?" Qianxun asked.
With that, Xiong Bo fell silent.
After a long pause, he finally said, "But I really don’t know what to do now."
He had originally taken on the identity of Xiong Bo, who died from a fall during a trip in Sichuan, to get close to Lin Yuwei legitimately. If she found out he was a demon, who knows if she’d be scared out of her wits.
...
After thinking for a while, Qianxun said, "Then let me ask you, do you want to be with her? If you do want to be together, you might as well tell her the truth. After all, I’m here now. If she can’t accept it, then I can help you erase her memory. How about that?"
"Would that hurt her in any way?" Xiong Bo asked hesitantly after hearing this.
"Of course not, she would just lose a part of her memory," Qianxun said.
In Qianxun’s view, modern society is far less fearful of demons than ancient peoples were. If Lin Yuwei was adaptable, there was still hope for them to be together.
If Lin Yuwei couldn’t accept it, then, when the time came, Qianxun would erase her memories, and the segment where she saw Xiong Bo’s true form would just vanish.
After listening to Qianxun, Xiong Bo mustered a great deal of courage, and it took him a while to say, "Okay! Then I’ll go back now."
"OK, I’ll wait for you at your place!"
After the call ended, Qianxun walked back to the living room.
Upon seeing her, Lin Yuwei immediately approached and asked nervously, "How is it? Where is Xiong Bo now?"
Hearing this, Qianxun looked deeply at her and then said, "He will be back soon, but you need to be mentally prepared for when he returns, Xiong Bo... he may not be human." Qianxun was setting the stage for Lin Yuwei.
"He’s not human?" Lin Yuwei was startled, then asked anxiously, "Could it be... he’s a ghost?"
She had encountered ghosts before, and it was Qianxun who had helped her out, so she had some capacity to handle it.
If Xiong Bo really was a ghost, then perhaps... he might be a good ghost, right?
