In the living room.
Hearing this, Jiang Lin couldn't help but ask.
Getting straight to the point: "Then what are you troubled about?"
"This..."
Su Ji scratched his head, "There's a lot to be troubled about."
For example, his dead girlfriend came back, but she turned into a ghost.
Should he be happy or sad?
Another example...
Although his girlfriend became a ghost, she could only stay in his phone.
He...
Even if he wanted to be Ning Caichen, he couldn't.
That night, Su Ji wanted to post a message online for help.
But thinking that Xiaoxiao could browse his phone, he suppressed the impulse.
And now.
He was talking to the streamer, and Xiaoxiao could hear him.
These things couldn't be said.
Su Ji hesitated for a moment before continuing:
"At first, I was quite happy, but gradually I realized that all of this didn't seem that simple."
...
On the night You Xiaoxiao returned, the two of them analyzed all the events and clues.
Finally, they guessed that You Xiaoxiao appeared in his phone.
Probably, maybe...
Because she was on the phone with him at the last moment.
And, she hadn't finished speaking...
"I still haven't told you my bank card password, nor my mobile withdrawal password."
The chibi You Xiaoxiao in Su Ji's phone counted on her fingers.
"Besides these, I also bought some funds, and my parents probably can't operate them."
"And I'm doing part-time drawing on an online platform, and I pay taxes every month. I can get a tax refund from March to June next year."
After some calculations, the chibi You Xiaoxiao sat cross-legged on the SMS app, with her arms crossed.
"I'm worried my parents won't know about so much money that hasn't been accounted for."
"So, this should be the reason."
Su Ji thought for a moment, "I'll talk to your uncle and aunt, but... will you disappear after this is handled?"
Like in the movies, when a wish is fulfilled, they disappear.
Or turn into a golden light and vanish.
The chibi You Xiaoxiao looked at him and told the truth:
"I don't know, but I still want to see my parents again and play in the human world for a while."
"So, I shouldn't disappear so quickly, right?"
Su Ji nodded, "If you still have wishes, you shouldn't leave so easily. Next time we have a chance, we can ask the streamer in the Underworld Live Stream."
"I'll burn some things for you in a few days, see if you can replenish your energy."
He heard the streamer say,
Ghosts in the underworld would also disappear if they didn't receive offerings for a long time.
The chibi You Xiaoxiao had no objections and nodded, "Okay! Burn more for me."
"See if you can burn me some houses and servants too."
Su Ji glanced at her, "You really know how to enjoy yourself."
Chibi You Xiaoxiao: "Of course! I didn't get to enjoy myself when I was alive, so if I can't enjoy myself after death, wouldn't that be too tragic?"
...
The next day.
Su Ji first took You Xiaoxiao to visit You's parents.
However, he didn't say much.
You Xiaoxiao had returned as a ghost and was still in his phone.
If this were to be told, it would either scare others or make him seem crazy.
After discussing with You Xiaoxiao, Su Ji decided to keep it a secret for now.
Let alone whether You's parents would believe it.
Even if they did...
What if she suddenly disappeared one day, causing You's parents to experience the pain of losing a child again?
You's parents were not in good spirits.
Su Ji stayed for a while and then prepared to leave.
However, before leaving.
He used the excuse of going to the cemetery to ask You's parents:
"Do you have anything you want to say to Xiaoxiao?"
"I'll tell her together, in case she happens to hear it?"
Hearing this, You's mother started to cry again.
"...Then please tell her to be well."
You's father was silent for a moment, then echoed:
"No matter which world she has gone to, she is our proudest daughter."
"...I will definitely convey it to Xiaoxiao."
Su Ji clenched his phone.
You Xiaoxiao, did you hear that?
You need to be well.
...
After leaving You's house, Su Ji was about to leave.
You's father suddenly called out to him.
The two stood outside the door, and You's father said with a heavy heart:
"Xiao Ji, Xiaoxiao... she has already gone to another world."
"Your days are still long, let go early."
Su Ji was stunned, "Uncle You..."
You's father patted his shoulder, "Alright, I watched both of you grow up, you are both good children."
"Go back, study hard. Don't worry your parents."
After speaking, You's father turned and went back inside.
Su Ji stood there, a little lost.
After a while, he walked out.
He took out his phone and looked at it.
The chibi You Xiaoxiao had hidden somewhere.
Su Ji put the phone to his ear and could vaguely hear some sobs.
After that,
Su Ji bought a lot of things to burn for You Xiaoxiao.
But the conclusion was that it had some effect, but not much.
"If this doesn't work, how will you maintain your ghostly form?"
Su Ji was still troubled, searching for information online.
However, the ghost in question, You Xiaoxiao, was not bothered by this at all.
Not only was she not worried, but she had also started to enjoy her life as a ghost in the phone.
Because she lived in the phone, she could move freely within it.
She could play games if she wanted to, or watch dramas.
It was like the saying: With a phone in hand, the world is yours.
It was completely fine to stay home for a year and a half without going out.
But while she was happy,
Su Ji started to have a headache.
...
For example, during a professional class, the teacher explained a knowledge point.
"Look at this problem, it's a very typical question type, and it will definitely be tested in the exam..."
Because exams were mentioned, everyone listened attentively.
Suddenly, from under Su Ji's desk, a voice emerged:
"Are you only saying this to me, or to other girls as well?"
The voice was gentle, soft, and pleasant.
But both the tone and the way of speaking had a unique cadence.
It made one think of Lin Daiyu.
On the podium, the teacher paused his writing.
After glancing at the seats in the back row, he continued, "When solving this type of problem, you can approach it in three steps..."
The teacher held a black pen and arranged one, two, three on the whiteboard.
Just as he was about to continue,
Su Ji's phone emitted another sentence: "I don't listen, I don't listen... You big bad guy!"
"..."
"Pfft—"
In the quiet classroom, someone couldn't help but chuckle.
The teacher turned around, placed the black pen on the desk in front of the podium.
He adjusted his glasses and looked at the students in the back row.
He said slowly, "If any of you have opinions about me, you can come and tell me after class."
"Don't disrupt classroom discipline."
He paused, then added, "Or, if you think I'm not teaching well, you can come up and teach it yourself."
The classroom fell silent.
The teacher waited for a moment, and seeing that no one spoke.
He picked up the black pen again and turned to explain:
"Now, let's continue..."
In the back row seats, Su Ji squeezed his phone hard.
He typed a message in his memo: "You Xiaoxiao! You better stop!"
"Why are you watching short videos during class!"
The chibi You Xiaoxiao also replied in text: "Hee hee~ I don't have to attend class anyway hahaha..."
Su Ji: "If you keep messing around, do you believe I'll cut off your power and internet!?"
Chibi You Xiaoxiao: "Devil!"
