Seeing the crime scene flashbacks made me the darling of the police station.

Chapter 365 Scared

"Is there anything else you want to ask? If you're not going to ask me, I'm going to sleep," Xi Xian said.

"You get sleepy too?" Su Miaoyi asked.

“It will happen here.” Xi Xian said, closing her eyes. “I’m going to sleep.”

"Wait a minute, I'll ask one last question."

"Ah."

"What's our relationship?"

Xi Xian opened his eyes again.

"Why grant me a wish, and how do you know I'll choose to come back? You seem to know me very well, and why do we look so alike? And you were very rude to me, just like I was rude to Shen Yanzhou. I feel like we're too familiar with each other," Su Miaoyi asked.

Xi Xian remained silent.

Her eyes trembled slightly.

Su Miaoyi remained silent, waiting for her reply.

But Xi Xian didn't speak for a long time.

Su Miaoyi understood that there were some things she might not be able to know, so she said, "I'm sleepy, let's go to sleep."

"Mmm," Xi Xian responded, then closed her eyes.

Su Miaoyi didn't dwell on it, turned over and fell asleep.

Xi Xian quickly heard her steady breathing and sighed silently in her heart.

She's so carefree, she can just go to sleep whenever she wants.

Xi Xian sighed inwardly again, then turned over and fell asleep instantly.

The next day, when Su Miaoyi woke up, Xi Xian was already awake and sitting by the bay window watching her.

When she opened her eyes, she was startled to find someone in the room. She was a little disoriented.

"Awake?" Su Miaoyi glanced at the time and sat up.

"Buy a bed," Xi Xian said.

"Ok?"

"Buy a bed," Xi Xian emphasized again.

Su Miaoyi looked at her.

“It’s not a good place to sleep.” Xi Xian stared at her, his expression cold but with a hint of arrogance. “Either we go buy a bed now, or we can sleep together tonight.”

Su Miaoyi looked at her for a while and asked, "Are we that close?"

When this question was brought up, Xi Xian fell silent again.

Su Miaoyi scratched her head and asked, "Are you planning to stay here for a long time?"

"Mmm," Xi Xian replied, her voice rising in pitch.

“What I mean is, if you don’t want to live with me, I have other places to stay,” Su Miaoyi said. “Villas, large apartments, you choose.”

“I’ll live with you,” Xi Xian said.

“Okay,” Su Miaoyi said. “Buy a bed, and buy everything else you need while you’re at it.”

Xi Xian nodded: "You pay."

"Otherwise what?" Su Miaoyi looked at her. "You don't seem like you have any money."

Xi Xian: "."

"Your luck with money in this world doesn't seem to be very good," Su Miaoyi said.

Xi Xian was a little reluctant to speak, but still said, "Who can compare to you?"

Su Miaoyi nodded.

"Wash up."

After washing up, the two prepared to go out.

"Go press the elevator button first," Su Miaoyi said. "I'll look for my bag."

Xi Xian went to press the elevator button.

While waiting for the elevator, she heard Shen Yanzhou's voice: "Up so early? Didn't you say you didn't have to go to the Municipal Bureau?"

The voice sounded behind her, and she turned around.

When Shen Yanzhou saw her, he froze. In that instant, he felt as if all the blood in his body had frozen, and his face turned deathly pale.

Xi Xian observed his reaction.

Just then, Su Miaoyi came out: "Brother, you haven't left. Perfect timing, I..."

Shen Yanzhou suddenly turned around and looked at Su Miaoyi.

His eyes widened as he looked at Su Miaoyi, then at Xi Xian, and then back at Su Miaoyi.

He wondered if he was too excited to sleep last night and was hallucinating today.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? You look terrible." Su Miaoyi asked.

Shen Yanzhou swallowed hard, but made no sound.

He glanced at Xi Xian again before slowly calming down.

He thought he was having a long dream when he first saw her.

The girl in front of me looks so much like Qin Leyan.

But she is not Qin Leyan.

She is Su Miaoyi.

She looked exactly like Su Miaoyi, whom he had seen a year ago when her appearance hadn't changed. For a moment, he thought that Qin Leyan hadn't actually returned, and that it was all just a dream, something he had imagined.

His heart almost stopped from being scared.

"Brother, I'm really back." Su Miaoyi realized.

Shen Yanzhou nodded, closed his eyes briefly, and then asked, "Who is this?"

Su Miaoyi glanced at Xi Xian.

Xi Xian remained silent.

Su Miaoyi whispered, "Brother, you can think of it as the real Su Miaoyi coming back to life."

Shen Yanzhou's eyes widened.

"Keep it a secret," Su Miaoyi said.

Shen Yanzhou was still in a daze. What was going on? If this continued, would everyone be able to be resurrected?

Does that mean he'll be able to see his grandparents?
“Her name is Xi Xian now,” Su Miaoyi said.

Shen Yanzhou looked at her and said politely, "Hello, Shen Yanzhou."

"Hello," Xi Xian said.

"Brother, are you alright?" Su Miaoyi asked.

"I'm not feeling well," Shen Yanzhou said.

Su Miaoyi pursed her lips, paused, and asked, "Could I use another card?"

"what?"

“I left the card you gave me at my home in the compound.” Su Miaoyi held out her hand to him. “I’m out of money.”

Shen Yanzhou looked at her, and instantly felt better.

It's definitely his sister.

Shen Yanzhou went back to his residence and got a card for her: "You know the password."

Su Miaoyi took it: "We're going shopping."

"These are for you."

"No need, I'll drive." Su Miaoyi shook her car keys.

It's the car key that Shen Yanzhou gave her before.

Driving it to work is too flashy, but driving it to go shopping is okay.

After everything was prepared, Xi Xian settled in.

Apart from Shen Yanzhou, no one else knew of her existence.

Because she hadn't left the house for a week, she had stayed at home.

Every afternoon when Su Miaoyi came home, she would see her watching TV on the sofa.

In Xi Xian's words, he had been wandering around for too long these past few months and needed to stay home and comfort himself for a few days.

Over the weekend, Su Miaoyi and Shen Yanzhou went fishing, and Xi Xian also went out. She said she was going out to gather inspiration and write another novel.

The fishing spot was chosen by Su Miaoyi.

Shen Yanzhou selected several locations.

Su Miaoyi finally settled on one.

It was very quiet, and there were hardly any people around.

The surrounding area is spacious, with a large park nearby, and there are hardly any people around.

There are few people, probably because the residential buildings are quite far apart.

The two sat by the river. Su Miaoyi had already caught two fish, but Shen Yanzhou hadn't made a single move.

"Brother, you can't do it either."

"The wind isn't blowing well today," Shen Yanzhou said.

Su Miaoyi chuckled, and then the lever moved again.

She pulled back a little.

"It's so heavy, it must be quite large," Shen Yanzhou said.

Su Miaoyi used some force to pull it up, only to find a black plastic bag hanging on it.

Shen Yanzhou laughed.

Su Miaoyi: "."

It was a torn plastic bag, with half of its contents sticking out. I couldn't tell what it was; all I could see was that it was wrapped in cloth, so it was probably just litter.

Su Miaoyi placed it on the ground, preparing to untie the hook, but suddenly smelled something.

She picked up a small stick from the ground and used it to pry open the black plastic.

"What's wrong?" Shen Yanzhou asked.

"Something's not right." Su Miaoyi used a wooden stick to unfold the cloth wrapped around her.

Shen Yanzhou walked over and saw a hand that was already somewhat rotten.

He was startled.

Su Miaoyi frowned and looked at the river.

Looks like we'll have to retrieve the body.
