Xiao Lin’s parents were busy people and could rarely be seen at home. The nanny they had hired for cooking left after preparing a meal.
In order to show his determination to not have his yang qi absorbed, Xiao Lin worked hard and spent the entire afternoon solving questions late into the evening, even forgetting to eat dinner.
As a ghost, Gui didn’t need to eat. In his world, there was no night or day. There was only Xiao Lin, who was with him all the time and the only one who could hear him speak.
“Have you decided which university you want to attend?” Gui asked Xiao Lin.
Xiao Lin pulled away from the sea of questions in front of him, and immediately felt his stomach growling.
He scratched his head and said, “I wanted to be a pilot before, but later realized I might not be up to par with their ideal physique, and I’m also somewhat afraid of heights. I may study history or archaeology.”
Gui, “Then you can take the T University exam.”
Xiao Lin yawned and casually responded, “Okay.”
In the end, he couldn’t hold back his curiosity and asked, “Didn’t you lose your memory? How come you know T University is prestigious?”
Gui replied, “I don’t know. It suddenly occurred to me that I might have graduated from there.”
Xiao Lin didn’t hesitate to take the limelight away from him, “It’s also possible that you really wanted to enter T University, but failed the college entrance examination more than ten times, and finally died of madness. Otherwise, why would you be so persistent in torturing me with these questions?”
Gui, “Want me to absorb your yang qi?”
Xiao Lin, “…..”
Brother Gui had found his weakness and could shut him up with just a few words. Xiao Lin threw his pen in anger and stormed out of the room to go warm up the meal.
Xiao Lin felt extremely tired that day, falling asleep on the dining table before even finishing his meal completely.
In a daze, he could vaguely make out that the sky was very bright. He didn’t know when he arrived at the gates of T University, chatting and laughing with a group of new classmates, his heart filled with longing for college life.
A person hurried past him. His face couldn’t be seen clearly, but his figure was very familiar. Xiao Lin’s heart moved, and he left his classmates behind as he quickly trotted over.

He couldn’t help shouting, “Brother Gui!”

Fear engulfed Xiao Lin, making his hair stand on end. He quickly backed away, shaking his head like a rattle.
Unexpectedly, his hand seemed to be stuck to the man’s body, rendering him unable to shake it off.
He watched as that face grinned at him, his grin growing wider and wider until it almost covered the man’s entire face.
Xiao Lin was so frightened that he almost cried.
“Brother Gui, please stop scaring me!”
The man suddenly lunged forward and bit his hand fiercely. Xiao Lin yelled and the next moment his eyes opened, the scene switching to his home.
Not at the dinner table, but lying on the bed, even covered with a quilt.
Xiao Lin’s mind was muddled, still hazy from sleep. He spotted a vague figure sitting on the chair next to the table, appearing as if he was scrutinizing the exercises on the table.
He was startled, but then recognized the other person. “Brother Gui?”
Gui hummed and said, “Don’t turn on the light. I can only appear physically like this now. You can’t see my physical body if you turn on the light.”
Xiao Lin glanced at the quilt that covered his body and was a little touched. He thought about how other people’s ghost encounters were like horror stories, but what greeted him was a fairytale.
Before he could even withdraw his sentimental thoughts, he heard Gui’s voice from across the room, “You got a question wrong.”
The corner of Xiao Lin’s mouth twitched. “My grades have been improving significantly nowadays. According to this development, I will have no problem getting into T University.”
Gui, “If you are wrong, you are wrong. You must be willing to admit your mistakes.”
By the time Xiao Lin processed the figure floating over, his lips were already covered by a piece of ice.
Or was it a…cool touch?
It felt like being kissed by ice cream. Xiao Lin’s eyes widened as realization hit him.
But then, a shadow like that of a palm drifted in front of his eyes, blocking his sight.
Xiao Lin never expected that his first kiss would be with neither a girl nor a boy, but with a ghost.
He didn’t know what it felt like to kiss a human, but now he had experienced kissing a ghost.
He dazedly thought, I wonder if I can apply for a Guinness World Record?
It was strange how Gui couldn’t touch him, but when he closed his eyes, he could distinctly feel the other’s lips and tongue. Although they were a bit cold, it was summer anyway…he could just treat it as eating watermelon or ice cream.
A faint pink dusted Xiao Lin’s face, concealed by the darkness. He tried countless times to shove the figure away, subconsciously pushing his chest. But when he reached out, his hands passed through.
Later…
Of course nothing happened with a ghost who could only kiss.
Xiao Lin didn’t know when he had fallen asleep. He only knew that he was a little absent-minded the next day.
He linked his drowsiness to Gui absorbing too much of his yang qi last night. As soon as he returned home that night, he immediately reprimanded him.
Unexpectedly, Gui said, “I didn’t absorb an ounce of your yang qi last night.”
Xiao Lin’s endless condemnation suddenly paused, his mouth agape, and his face fluctuated between blue and white.
Gui further teased him, “How about I let you experience it again?”
Xiao Lin subconsciously raised his hand to cover his mouth and backed away from him.
The next day, a transfer student joined his class. Apart from his school uniform, all he wore were well-known brands. He was so dreary that the teacher placed him in front of Xiao Lin.
Rumors soon spread like a plague, and Xiao Lin also heard a thing or two. Apparently, the transfer student’s background was very complicated. He was not dropped off by his parents, but by an assistant or secretary, and even the principal personally accompanied him.
When school was over, Xiao Lin saw the transfer student arguing with a beautiful woman at the school gate. The boy turned around and ran away, while the woman got into a car and had people chase him.
The classmates who were walking with him all speculated on the background of the transfer student. Xiao Lin suddenly heard Gui say, “I have a hunch that I may leave again soon.”
Xiao Lin suddenly froze and all sounds around him receded like a tide.
In his head, the only thing left were Brother Gui’s words.
“Why?” Xiao Lin suddenly said out loud.
Everyone around him gave him a strange look.
The classmates who were gossiping just now were confused, “What why?”
Xiao Lin’s heart sunk.
Because Brother Gui’s response never came.
I’m really getting more curious as to what Gui’s identity is!

Was that the same woman as the CEO wife??
