"Oh dear, you've misunderstood. I am Jianzi's mother."

"real or fake!?"

Ye Xing looked utterly shocked, staring incredulously at Jianzi's mother.

"Impossible! You look so young, like you're in your twenties."

"Oh my, Ye Xing, you're so good at talking. Do I look that young?"

"Yes, yes, she's just like a sister to Miko."

"Haha, don't stand outside, please come in."

Seeing her mother smiling broadly and warmly greeting Yoru, almost forgetting about her, Yotsuya Miko couldn't help but shake her head helplessly.

Even on the way there in a taxi, Ye Xing already knew that it was just her and her mother at home.

What do you mean, "sister"? That's clearly just flattery.

However, Yotsuya Miko had to admit that Yohoshi's move was indeed very effective for her mother, who was a full-time housewife.

She thought to herself that when Ye Xing wasn't acting out and being abstract, with her outstanding appearance, her charming smile that made people feel good, and her words that accurately hit people's weaknesses, she could indeed be called a social expert.

After leading the two inside, Jianzi's mother noticed the long knife that Jianzi was holding.

What are you holding?

Before Yotsuya could fabricate an explanation, Yohoshi preemptively spoke up to clarify.

"Since this is my first visit, I didn't bring a good gift. This is an ancient sword that can ward off evil spirits and protect the home. I hope you will like it."

"Oh My God."

Seeing the child's mother, she smiled like an aunt.

"You said you could come, why bring a gift? You can come anytime you want, no need to bring any gifts."

"Thank you for your kindness."

"Are you all hungry? The food will be ready soon. Why don't you rest in the living room for a while?"

Seeing her mother's back as she returned to the kitchen to cook, seemingly oblivious, Yotsuya Miko couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

She was still pondering how to explain the origin of the long sword.

Unexpectedly, Ye Xing resolved the issue so easily.

Meeting gift?

Could it be that he had already thought of this?

While Yotsuya Miko was still on the first floor, Yohoshi was already on the eighteenth floor.

It's like an old-fashioned layered cake.

at this time.

A man wearing glasses, with a few strands of gray hair, who looked to be in his forties, and dressed in a light blue turtleneck shirt, slowly walked up to the two of them.

He looked at Ye Xing standing there, with a very gossipy expression.

"Is this...your boyfriend? Really?"

"Sigh, you've already got a boyfriend in just starting high school. You've grown up so much. My heart aches for you, your old father."

Just as the middle-aged man was looking heartbroken and muttering to himself, Ye Xing suddenly stepped forward, extended his right hand, and spoke with a smile.

"Nice to meet you."

020 Let's light an incense stick.

"The young man is very polite."

Seeing the son's father smile kindly, he extended his hand and shook hands with Ye Xing.

When he saw the slightly surprised look in his daughter's eyes, he paused for a moment, then belatedly realized what was happening and exclaimed in surprise.

"Wait a minute, can you see me?"

"It's not just me."

Yohoshi pointed to Yotsuya Miko standing next to her.

"She can see you too."

"what?"

Seeing the father's blank expression, he looked just like a normal person.

This further confirmed Ye Xing's suspicions.

The spirit of the deceased father is a very special being, possessing the ability to communicate.

The evidence is...

The other party already knew that he and Miko could "see," but did not show any hostility.

“This, that…”

Jianzi's father scratched his head, and after organizing his thoughts for a while, looked at Jianzi and smiled sheepishly.

"Um, is this your boyfriend? He's very nice, very nice."

Yotsuya Miko sighed helplessly, rubbing her forehead. "He's already a ghost, how can you still be so thick-skinned? Really."

She could always see her father's ghost, but she didn't communicate with him because terrifying evil spirits often appeared in the house.

Now, Jianzi is no longer worried about this issue.

The house is very "clean".

For some reason, a strange association suddenly popped into her mind.

Evil spirits are like mosquitoes, and I am like a person with type AB blood, always attracting the harassment of mosquitoes.

The scent emanating from Ye Xing was like that of a mosquito coil.

It would be great if we could keep them at home.

"Alright, you two can talk now."

Seeing that both Jianzi and her father looked like they wanted to say something but couldn't, Ye Xing shrugged indifferently and went to the living room, leaving the two of them alone to talk.

After Night Star left.

Seeing his son scratch his head, a slightly embarrassed smile appeared on his face.

"Um, I'm sorry for eating your pudding."

Yotsuya Miko pursed her lips, tears welling in her eyes, and shook her head softly.

"No, that's all in the past. You don't need to apologize. I was just too willful."

The reason why a father, after his death, becomes a soul tormented by obsession is quite simple.

He stole the pudding that Yotsuya Miko had put in the refrigerator, and the two had a big fight because of it.

It sounds like a trivial matter.

But before the two could resolve their conflict, Miko Yotsuya's father passed away due to illness.

This seemingly small matter is the root of my obsession.

Not just the father who saw his son.

Yotsuya Miko has always regretted leaving such a regret behind.

Now, however, there is finally a chance to make amends.

This was the first time in her life that she had felt the benefits of having the ability to see ghosts.

"Ah."

Seeing the son's father nod slightly and smile.

"In that case, I should get going."

Although there was some reluctance in Yotsuya Miko's eyes, she still nodded obediently.

The souls of the dead should not linger in this world.

Now that the obsession that left his father behind has been resolved, it is time for him to pass away.

However, unexpectedly...

More than ten seconds passed, but Jianzi's father still hadn't disappeared, and his body showed no signs of fading; he just stood there, perfectly fine.

"this...?"

Yotsuya Miko looked puzzled, unable to understand why.

Logically speaking, once the obsession dissipates, the departed soul should be reborn in the Pure Land.

Why is Father still here?

"Oh right, I forgot."

After thinking for a while, Yotsuya Miko's father suddenly realized something.

"I still have one obsession."

"besides?"

"Correct."

Seeing that his father's smile had faded and his expression had become serious, he slowly spoke.

"I'd like to have a talk with that student, Ye Xing."

"Let's talk?"

Yotsuya Miko was startled upon hearing this and quickly waved her hand to explain.

"This...you've misunderstood, he's not my boyfriend."

"Even if he's not your boyfriend, he's the first boy you've ever brought home since you were little, so I should at least chat with him for a bit."
