New Times, New Hell

Ch5 - Life and Death Account

This meal was finished even faster than yesterday's. Li Tiantian looked a bit wilted, and Jiang Hong didn't speak much, while Yu Zhengdu was anxious to return to the company to see the result of their ghost-catching operation.

After this arduous lunch was over, Yu Zhengdu tried his best to suppress his gossipy urges and watched the two girls leave in a gentlemanly manner. Only then did he take his boss's hand in a hurry as he wanted to run back to the company, "Let's go let's go, time to eat some watermelon."

But just as his hand touched Shang Que's wrist, it bounced back. He subconsciously said, "Ah, your hand is so cold."

Shang Que looked at him, and Yu Zhengdu snapped out of his daze. He scratched his head and said, "I'm sorry, but I'll forget you're not a human being sometimes."

Shang Que: "..."

Yu Zhengdu realised that he sounded too much like he was scolding his boss. He pondered for a moment and tried to make up for it, "Boss, if I say you look a lot like a human now, would you feel a little better?"

Shang Que looked like he was left speechless with a bunch of ellipses above his head. Fortunately, he didn't seem to mind it much, and after a moment of silence, he said, "That's all right. I forgot to adjust the temperature too."

Yu Zhengdu: "..."

Yu Zhengdu felt like he just opened the door to a new world, "This kind of temperature can be adjusted?"

Shang Que smiled proudly, "Of course."

After he spoke, he silently stretched out his left hand. "Try again."

Yu Zhengdu, "..." I don't know if it's a misperception or not, but I feel like my boss always has a rather strong desire to show off?

He muttered to himself, but still touched his hands. The skin he touched this time was indeed warm. Shang Que's skin differed from that of a normal man; his resembled a white jade with an unhealthy pallid tone, but it was warm and smooth to the touch.

It was a unique sensation that couldn't be found on anyone else.

Yu Zhengdu was amazed. "Wow, it's like a real human's."

As soon as he spoke, he realised that the wrist he was holding got warmer, and its temperature seemed to still be on the rise.

He paused, "Boss, stop before going too far ba. You'll burn me if you continue raising your temperature."

Shang Que smiled slightly, "It's still okay."

Yu Zhengdu sighed, "Since you have this kind of skill, you should use it to control the office's temperature ah. It'll even save on air conditioning fees."

Shang Que, "..."

When they returned to the company, Yu Zhengdu pushed the door open and asked, "Where's the ghost? Where is it?"

One of his colleagues involved in the arrest pointed at a corner. "There."

"How did you guys catch it?" Yu Zhengdu asked curiously while turning his head to look at it, "Is it the same as in TV series? Like using hooks? Or tying them up with a rope..."
