Chapter 59: Seeing a Ghost Again
"I guess your grandfather was worried about you and came to check on you. He was relieved to see that you were okay."
Since the ghosts were arranged by the higher-ups to be taken away by Gou Gequan and Er Jie, they were treated very well there, so it was nothing surprising that they occasionally wandered around at night. Maybe they are now a small leader in Jiangzhou. Such ghosts may not have any abilities, but they have more emotions than ordinary ghosts and are not dangerous, so Tan Xuan no longer took them to heart. However, Tan Xuan had doubts about the background of Jiang Yingyue's family. After all, such preferential treatment is not something you can get casually.
"That should be the case." Jiang Yingyue accepted Tan Xuan's opinion. After all, Tan Xuan was the first person who did not say that she was hysterical. Although he doubted her at first, he probably believed her words later.
After chatting for a few more sentences, Jiang Yingyue found out that Tan Xuan only had an impression of his grandfather and had no contact with him, so she did not continue talking about this topic. She stood up and cleared the dishes on the table.
"Put it down, I can clean it up myself."
"You haven't fully recovered yet, so let me do it."
"You cooked the meal, I didn't help much. Washing dishes isn't hard work, just do it."
Tan Xuan didn't let Jiang Yingyue work, but Jiang Yingyue didn't listen and insisted on cleaning up. Tan Xuan couldn't just push her out of the kitchen, so he didn't continue to be polite.
Although Jiang Yingyue was a little clumsy at work, she was very careful. She not only washed the dishes and chopsticks, but also wiped the kitchen. After everything was cleaned up, Jiang Yingyue and Tan Xuan said goodbye.
"Thank you for saving me last night and treating me to a meal. Although I can't thank you enough for such a great favor, I still want to thank you. I'm fine now, so I'll go back first."
"Okay then. I'll take you there."
Jiang Yingyue wanted to leave and Tan Xuan did not try to keep her. They were not even friends now. If he had not known where to send her last night, Tan Xuan would not have taken her home.
After going downstairs, seeing Tan Xuan wanted to drive her, Jiang Yingyue said embarrassedly: "No need, I can go back by myself."
Tan Xuan smiled, "You will take a taxi when you go back. I drive an online car-hailing service. You might as well take care of my business instead of paying others. Anyway, you have my mobile phone number. If you need a car in the future, just call me directly."
"Okay then." Jiang Yingyue did not refuse again. She found that the area of the community where Tan Xuan lived was not small. She didn't even know where the gate of the community was. If she walked by herself, it would be really difficult. "Let's add WeChat. I'll find you when I need a car in the future."
"good."
Tan Xuan took out his cell phone, and there was another potential customer.
As luck would have it, before Tan Xuan drove the car out of the community, he met Qian Bo who was playing with children on the roadside. Qian Bo stopped the car directly.
"Tanzi, why are you out at this time?"
Tan Xuan rolled down the car window and nodded to Qian Bo, "Well, I'll go out for a while." Then he greeted Qian Bo's wife and children, "Hello sister-in-law, Hello Duoduo."
Seeing a beautiful woman sitting on the passenger seat, Qian Bo's eyes immediately lit up, "Oh! You have a friend? Why don't you introduce her to your brother?"
Qian Bo had already been told about Tan Xuan and Su Cheng. The two were not suitable for each other and they just didn't like each other. Qian Bo, the matchmaker, couldn't say anything more. But now he saw that Tan Xuan brought back a beautiful woman, who was not only beautiful, but also looked more dignified and stable than his sister-in-law. It seemed that she had lived here last night. This surprised him and he secretly gave Tan Xuan a thumbs up.
Tan Xuan laughed, "This is a friend of mine, come and sit down, I'll take her home now, you go ahead and do your work, we'll talk when we have time."
Tan Xuan did not introduce them, and ignored Qian Bo's little actions. He simply closed the car window and planned to leave.
"Hey, wait a minute."
Qian Bo held down the car window, looked at Jiang Yingyue inside, then came up to Tan Xuan and whispered, "Are you free these two days? Come with me to Director Chang's house. The old man is getting better now, and I plan to thank you in person."
Tan Xuan shook his head. "Forget it. If you want to go, go by yourself. I won't go. If you want to use the car, I will only take you to the gate of his community."
"How bad is that."
"It's nothing bad. I'm leaving now. You and your family can enjoy yourselves."
Tan Xuan didn't give Qian Bo any chance to talk any more. Since he couldn't close the car window, he didn't close it either. He just stepped on the accelerator and drove away.
"Why!"
Qian Bo outside the car couldn't help but take a few steps back in fright, and even Jiang Yingyue in the car was startled.
Qian Bo looked at the rear of the car and shook his head helplessly. After returning to his wife and children, he expressed regret to his wife again, "What kind of taste does your sister have? She didn't want such a good guy like Tan Zi. What kind of boyfriend does she want? Now it's good that she has someone else. Look at the guy sitting in the car. He's better than her in every way. She must be regretting it..."
Jiang Yingyue in the car didn't know Qian Bo was still complaining. She patted her chest, looked at Tan Xuan and said, "You are too careless. What if someone gets hurt?"
Tan Xuan chuckled, "Hurt him? Didn't you see he jumped faster than a rabbit? He keeps nagging, just listen to him."
"What did he say to you? It was so mysterious. Why did you react so strongly after hearing it?" Jiang Yingyue asked puzzled.
"Nothing, he just has nothing to do and wants to cause himself some trouble, and he always wants to drag me along."
"But... okay then." Jiang Yingyue wanted to ask more, but felt it would be inappropriate to ask too much so she stopped asking.
"Could it be that your friend misunderstood us?" Jiang Yingyue turned her head to look at Tan Xuan and asked again with a wry smile.
"What did he misunderstand?" Tan Xuan was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted and said with a smile: "He is just like that, you don't have to bother with him."
"Is it."
Jiang Yingyue guessed in her heart that she already knew why she was the first guest to Tan Xuan's house. Who would dare to come when he rejected people so directly?
"In fact, you can hang out with them more often. People in the same community can take care of each other."
"Hehe...I will."
It has been a long time since anyone has thought about him, especially a girl. This is the first time such a thing has happened since he was a child. Tan Xuan felt warm in his heart, with a hint of secret joy.
Today is Saturday. Jiang Yingyue did not go back to the company and asked Tan Xuan to send her back to the dormitory. After arriving at the dormitory, Jiang Yingyue invited Tan Xuan to sit upstairs for a while, but was rejected by Tan Xuan. Perhaps some people look forward to entering the girls' dormitory every day. Even if there are no romantic follow-up plots, it is still a flattering thing. But Tan Xuan refused very straightforwardly. The dormitory is not where Jiang Yingyue lives alone. It is inconvenient for him to go in as a man. Moreover, Jiang Yingyue is a newcomer in the company and it is easy to be criticized if she is seen. What's more, the person living with Jiang Yingyue is Sister Wang. If she misunderstands that Tan Xuan has other intentions towards her, Tan Xuan will have the idea of jumping into the river.
"Then be careful when you go back, drive slowly. Also, think about my advice to you, don't drive at night, it's safer during the day..."
Jiang Yingyue's instructions lingered in his ears, and Tan Xuan felt happy. Although he did not charge for sending Jiang Yingyue back this time, Tan Xuan was still very happy in his heart. It was completely different from the feeling when he was driving Xiao Di, who always paid a small amount of money.
"It turns out that being cared for by others is pretty good. Who says pretty girls aren't gentle? I just met one..."
Tan Xuan, who had never been cared for by the opposite sex, did not disappoint Jiang Yingyue's advice and opened the online car-hailing app to start taking orders. However, he did not completely follow Jiang Yingyue's advice. Jiang Yingyue asked him to drive during the day and rest at night. He drove during the day and at night because he was so happy that he was tireless. He only came out of the excitement of the day when he needed to go home to meditate and practice from dusk to dawn.
Looking at the bedroom where Jiang Yingyue had stayed last night, Tan Xuan took a deep breath. It seemed that there was still the lingering smell of Jiang Yingyue in the room that had not completely dissipated.
"Oh my god, I become so beautiful when someone cares about me. Could it be that Qian Bo was right? Am I really starting to think about women? Do I have one more worry then?" Tan Xuan slapped his forehead and said self-deprecatingly with a wry smile.
Tan Xuan shook his head and said to himself, "Who cares? I'm not a child anymore. My hormones are flying all over the place. It would be abnormal if I didn't think about it. But just think about it. Don't let your concern mess you up completely. Thinking too much is not beautiful."
After a good night's sleep, Tan Xuan completely came out of yesterday's excitement and gloom. He knew the relationship between him and Jiang Yingyue. They had only met two or three times. Even if he had saved her, he couldn't expect her to return her love to him. If you think about it carefully, it might not even be enough for a friendship. Jiang Yingyue just expressed her goodwill in return. If you over-interpret it, it would be pure self-conceit.
After one day , Tan Xuan's heart calmed down. After three days, Jiang Yingyue's figure in his heart became intermittent. It's not that Tan Xuan forgets things, but that the two people's lives and work circles have no intersection. If there is an intersection, it is when Jiang Yingyue rides in his car. What's more, Xiao Di harasses Tan Xuan from time to time, making Jiang Yingyue more and more vague in Tan Xuan's heart.
Tan Xuan returned to his previous working habits, staying at home during the day and going out to take jobs at night. He had forgotten all the instructions Jiang Yingyue had given him. Anyway, those were not within his scope of worry. At least no one had dared to look for him yet.
Tan Xuan wanted to let Jiang Yingyue go, but God didn't want him to do that easily. It was another night, before ten o'clock, and Tan Xuan had just had some free time when he received a call from Jiang Yingyue.
"Hello, how are you." Tan Xuan greeted softly. If Xiao Di found out that Tan Xuan spoke in this tone when talking to someone else on the phone, she would probably smash Tan Xuan's phone, because Tan Xuan had never been so gentle and warm when answering her calls.
"Tan Xuan, are you at home or driving? Can you come and pick me up?" Jiang Yingyue asked in a trembling voice.
"What's wrong with you?" Tan Xuan's heart tightened and he immediately sat up straight. He heard the panic in Jiang Yingyue's voice.
"I'm scared." Jiang Yingyue said with a trembling voice.
"Don't be afraid, what's wrong with you?"
"I saw a ghost..."
