Becoming a Fierce Ghost, I Turned into the Shadow Behind the Heroine Chapter 68 : Chapter 68

Chapter 68: Your Younger Sister Is My Younger Sister

“Why does today’s shop clerk look a little different? Did they change staff?”

“Hey, but you have to admit, that girl is really pretty. Her skin is just too pale—she almost does not look like a living person. And those lines all over her body…”

“Maybe it is so kind of skin condition. It is not really a problem. If anything, it gives her that sickly beauty vibe, you know?”

“You are right, it actually does have that kind of charm. I like that half-dead look.”

“Die, you lolicon!”

“Explain yourself today! If you cannot explain it clearly, then we are not brothers anymore. What do you an lolicon? That girl is clearly a young lady!”

The conversation between the boys gradually faded into the distance.

Standing behind the counter, Bai Yu let out an almost imperceptible sigh, especially when the corner of her eye caught Zhao Mingyue sprawled across the counter, sleeping soundly with drool even running from the corner of her mouth.

Hearing the girl muttering about “red envelopes” and “salary,” Bai Yu truly did not know what to say.

She had tried calling her several tis just now, but Zhao Mingyue did not react at all. After thinking it over, she decided to simply let her sleep. The girl was indeed exhausted. After staying awake all night, her body could not endure it any longer.

Using strands of blood to push aside the security caras that could see this direction in the shop, Bai Yu revealed herself and helped with the work. Once the custors left, she returned to Zhao Mingyue’s shadow and pushed the caras back into place.

The entire sequence of movents flowed smoothly.

Zhao Mingyue remained completely unaware of what had happened.

By the ti the third group of custors arrived, it was already ten-thirty in the morning. Only then did Zhao Mingyue groggily open her eyes.

Noticing the drool at the corner of her mouth, she imdiately pulled out a piece of tissue at lightning speed, wiped it away, and then pressed the tissue onto the drool stain on the table, pretending that nothing had happened as she cheerfully asked the custor in front of her what they needed.

The custor who had co in was quite young, around twenty years old.

He dressed fashionably, especially with the overalls he wore. However, there was sothing slightly effeminate about him.

The young man glanced around repeatedly, looking hesitant and sowhat embarrassed.

He held a phone in his hand, displaying one of the currently popular ssaging apps.

He had actually co back to look for Bai Yu. He had already walked quite far away, but after thinking it over, he decided that it would not do—he still had to go back and ask for her contact information.

That girl looked quite young, but since she worked as a clerk, she must be an adult. If she was not actually an adult…

Then that would be even better!

However, after looking around, he could not find her.

Behind the counter stood another clerk instead, soone who looked as though she had just woken up.

At first glance, it did not seem like much. But when the young man took a closer look, his eyes widened.

One sentence perfectly described what he felt at that mont.

He had never believed in the phrase “love at first sight.”

But now, he believed it.

What kind of divine convenience store was this? Were all the clerks this attractive?

He could not decide whether this clerk suited him better or the previous one did, because in his eyes, both of them were excellent.

“Um… I ca to look for the clerk from earlier, but that is not necessary anymore. May I add you as a friend?” The young man raised his phone and showed the screen.

“No.”

Zhao Mingyue was now fully awake. She shook her head.

“If you need to buy sothing, you can tell . As for contact information, forget it. I already have soone I like.”

“Ah… alright. Sorry for disturbing you.”

The young man left helplessly.

When he pushed open the glass door in front of him, the wind chi behind him swayed gently three tis. However, he was probably still imrsed in the pain of rejection and did not notice this detail at all.

After the young man had completely left the convenience store, Zhao Mingyue muttered softly,

“Why did the wind chi ring? Does he have a ghost on him?”

“Wait… the clerk from earlier?”

Rubbing her chin, Zhao Mingyue took out her phone and checked the ti.

It was already ten-thirty.

“Yu, the clerk he ntioned earlier… that would not happen to be you, right?”

“Yes, it was . Who else could it be? Certainly not soone who sleeps so deeply that she cannot be woken no matter how many tis she is called.”

Bai Yu’s voice sounded within her heart, her tone carrying a trace of resentnt.

Zhao Mingyue gave an awkward laugh, her pretty face turning slightly red.

“Ahem… I did not do it on purpose.”

“I know. If you had done it on purpose, you would not have slept with drool everywhere.”

“There was no drool! Where is the drool? I did not see any! You must be rembering it wrong!”

After cleaning the drool mark, Zhao Mingyue took out Miss Rabbit and gently tugged at the doll’s little face.

“By the way, thank you this ti. Just now, I had never felt my eyelids so heavy before.”

Having a ghost help cover her shift in broad daylight—and even being admired by custors—made Zhao Mingyue feel sowhat embarrassed.

After a long silence, Zhao Mingyue went to wash her face. When she returned, she saw the rabbit doll tilting its head up at her. She understood that Bai Yu had once again entered the doll’s body.

“Yu, after I completed my task, that phone gave a chance to draw a lottery reward. Should I try it?”

“Yes. Try it tonight when we return.”

“Mm. Oh right… we did not find Xiaolian’s child this ti. What should we do?”

Zhao Mingyue had not forgotten the purpose of going to No.13 Middle School. The task was only part of it—the real goal was the child of the Female Ghost Xiaolian.

If Xiaolian was not dealt with, it would remain a permanent problem. Zhao Mingyue lived in Sunshine Apartnts; she did not want to open her eyes one day and see Xiaolian’s terrifying ghostly face staring at her.

“It does not matter. Lu Liangting will take care of it.”

“I see. That works too.”

“….”

After another long silence, Zhao Mingyue played with the rabbit doll in her hands and suddenly asked,

“Last night… your condition seed very strange. Did sothing happen there? Um… was it related to your past?”

She knew nothing about Bai Yu’s past, nor did she dare ask too much. She was afraid that asking too many questions would shatter the fragile relationship she had finally built with Bai Yu.

“It was not my past. It was that person’s past.”

“Shen Shuyun?”

“Yes. That school was her mory. And she is one of my old friends. I have many friends like her. I simply want to know whether all my friends have such a place tied to their mories… including .”

Zhao Mingyue was very clever. As soon as Bai Yu explained it, she imdiately understood what Bai Yu ant.

She wanted to see her younger sister again.

Zhao Mingyue understood it in her heart, yet she did not know how to express it.

After hesitating for a long ti, she finally spoke.

“Um… I do not really know how to comfort people, but I think there must be such a place. When the ti cos, if you still need , I will go there with you. If there is danger, we will face it together.”

“That place is very dangerous. And at that ti, there is a high chance that I will not be able to help you.”

“That is fine. I am getting stronger, after all. As long as I complete more tasks and make my body stronger, I will be able to help you, right?”

Having completed two major main tasks—Sunshine Apartnts and No.13 Middle School—Zhao Mingyue’s physical condition had improved by a great margin.

“Mm… actually, the main thing is that I want to personally hand Miss Rabbit over to little Bai Sisi.”

As soon as she said those words, the rabbit doll’s red eyes flickered gently.

Then it lowered its head and said nothing more.
