Chapter 49: The Water Ghost (1)

Ye Sui didn’t know what Chen Shu was thinking, but she decided to tell him what she had just discovered.

Ye Sui asked, “You guess what was I looking at?”

Chen Shu was dazed and stunned. He had blocked Ye Sui from seeing the painter. However, unexpectedly, she opened up a topic regarding him.

“You know what? There’s a beautiful ghost there.” Suddenly, Ye Sui remembered the fact that Chen Shu couldn’t see ghosts. “Sorry, I forgot you can’t see it.”

It turned out she was looking at a ghost. Chen Shu suddenly laughed. He raised his eyebrows and motioned for Ye Sui to continue.

“There’s a painter over there, and I saw a beautiful water ghost coming out of the water and standing beside him,” Ye Sui explained. “I think they must have a past.”

Chen Shu was not interested in beautiful people, let alone a ghost that he could not see.

Since Ye Sui was looking at the pretty ghost, Chen Shu moved aside so that she could see the painter beside the lake.

Ye Sui looked again at the painter’s spot, sighing regretfully. It seemed that the painter today closed a bit earlier, and the beautiful water ghost had already left.

“She’s gone.” Ye Sui stressed again, “Really stunning.”

Chen Shu asked, “Do you like to watch beautiful people?”

Ye Sui grunted, “Who doesn’t like to see beautiful people? It’s a feast for the eyes.”

Chen Shu thought of the sentence “all women like to be praised”. Believing that this was an excellent opportunity and should be grasped well, he wondered how should he naturally praise Ye Sui?

Chen Shu racked his brain for a whole minute and finally spat out a sentence. “You can look in the mirror.”

On a beautiful night in Yunnan, they gazed at each other. The wind was blowing, the leaves were rustling, and laughter was coming from afar. Under the tree, the couple was separated into their own small world.

Hearing Chen Shu’s words, the air here suddenly quieted down, and the temperature plummeted, as if it were cold like the Arctic Circle.

No one spoke, remaining silent for a while. The two realized that the atmosphere had become very awkward. Ye Sui’s muteness had already caused Chen Shu’s heart to beat faster.

Where did this sweet talk come from? Ye Sui felt that Chen Shu would start telling cold jokes now, so she had to say something.

Ye Sui gave two face-saving laughter and patted Chen Shu on the shoulder. “That’s funny! What a good joke.”

Unexpectedly, Ye Sui’s laughter caused Chen Shu’s heart to beat wildly.

In a game called “Straight Guy Knocked Out Method”, if Chen Shu was a player, he would fall off the stage after receiving Ye Sui’s cruel blows.

Wasn’t it that women liked to be praised? Chen Shu did not understand his mistake. What went wrong?

Chen Shu coughed, covering his embarrassment quietly. “It’s really a joke.”

Suffered by repeated blows, Chen Shu went on walking with Ye Sui, who did not know anything. Ye Sui was so cheerful and completely unaware of Chen Shu nearby, who was still pondering over whether he was wrong today.

In the evening, Ye Sui still wore her hat. She accompanied Chen Shu to Yunnan, enjoying this trip of eating, drinking, and having fun.

The wind suddenly became strong and blew in their direction, carrying her hat away instantly. Her soft long hair scattered in the air and drew a breathtaking scene, eventually spreading over her shoulders and staying there naturally.
