Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes? Chapter 43: Kite

"Potato, Potato~"

"What?"

"Sis just took one more sip than ."

Dou Dou pointed at Yin Xingyue, looking quite upset.

Yin Xingyue was embarrassed by Dou Dou’s action.

Shen Siyuan felt awkward. He didn’t expect Dou Dou to start arguing with her good friend and sister over such a trivial matter.

Shen Siyuan, too lazy to go downstairs to eat, simply cooked himself a bowl of instant noodles.

Although instant noodles are nutritious, they are tasty, and hugely appealing to kids like Dou Dou.

Ghosts can’t eat food but can consu qi, so Shen Siyuan let them "eat" first.

He didn’t expect Dou Dou to co and complain because her sister took one more sip than her, and he found it both funny and annoying.

In the end, Shen Siyuan could only open his computer and distract her by showing her so cartoons.

After being called out by Dou Dou, Yin Xingyue felt uncomfortable staying around Shen Siyuan and went to watch TV with Dou Dou.

While Shen Siyuan was eating his noodles, he received a text ssage from Jiang Tingyu.

"Back in Bin Hai yet?"

Seeing this ssage, Shen Siyuan couldn’t help but smile.

Her sending this ssage ant she was hesitating and started to lower her own standards and bottom lines.

Moreover, she wasn’t actually asking if Shen Siyuan was back in Bin Hai, but rather how his blind date went.

Yet, feeling embarrassed to ask directly, she opted for a roundabout approach.

She didn’t ask directly, so Shen Siyuan chose to play dumb and just replied, "Just got back."

"Then, wanna co out for dinner? I’m alone, quite boring."

Right after Shen Siyuan’s ssage was sent, Jiang Tingyu imdiately replied.

Shen Siyuan sent a picture of his instant noodles.

"Are you just eating that? Co out, I’ll treat you to a feast."

"Never mind, I’m almost done."

"Oh, I see, let’s talk next ti then," said Jiang Tingyu.

Shen Siyuan replied with an OK emoji.

Having received a reply, Jiang Tingyu imdiately said, "You’re really lucky, being able to go ho whenever you want, I can’t do that. I need to take a flight ho, and the tickets are deadly expensive, can’t afford it."

"Distance makes the heart grow fonder. I often go ho and end up being disliked by my parents," said Shen Siyuan.

"Ah, really? Sorry, forgot to ask, how was the blind date? Did you find her interesting?" Jiang Tingyu asked casually.

Was she really forgetting? She was the one who initiated contact; wasn’t she just eager to ask about this?

"It was okay."

Shen Siyuan deliberately gave a vague reply.

"You’re being so perfunctory. (upset.jpg)"

"Do you think I’m annoying?" Jiang Tingyu followed up.

"No, not at all, she’s alright, but not right for . My mom also disapproved, that’s why she sent back," Shen Siyuan didn’t hold back anymore.

Jiang Tingyu imdiately replied with a laughing emoji.

Then she asked eagerly, "Is your blind date pretty?"

She wasn’t really asking if Shen Siyuan’s blind date was pretty, but whether she was prettier than her. Won are like that, always comparing everything.

Indeed, when Shen Siyuan said, "She’s quite pretty."

She imdiately asked if she was prettier than her.

Actually, the fact that she could ask such a question already indicated that she had begun to care about Shen Siyuan’s opinion.

So Shen Siyuan said, "Not as pretty as you."

When a woman asks you who is prettier between her and soone else, never say things like "Different styles, each has its own beauty." Just say she is beautiful—that’s the correct answer.

Sure enough, Jiang Tingyu imdiately sent a happy face-punching emoticon.

Then she sent Shen Siyuan a selfie in front of a mirror, wearing a tight diving suit, with her wet hair tied up high, revealing her slender neck and smooth, round shoulders, like a nymph rising from the water, very beautiful.

"I just got off work."

While Shen Siyuan was enlarging the photo to take a closer look, she sent another ssage.

"Working on Sunday too?"

"Yeah, our rest days are actually our busiest, and weekdays are relatively relaxed, so we take turns at taking days off."

Shen Siyuan suddenly realized, she works at an aquarium, where rest days are the busiest.

"Did you perform today?" Shen Siyuan asked knowingly.

"Yeah, I invited you, but you didn’t co. (sad.jpg)"

"Next ti for sure."

"Then next week, I’ll treat you to a big al," said Jiang Tingyu.

Shen Siyuan thought for a mont and said, "I should be free next week."

He said this to leave himself an out, in case he really couldn’t make it, he could say sothing ca up.

He didn’t outright refuse because they had just t, and the cost of silence was still very low; repeatedly refusing could make Jiang Tingyu give up altogether.

However, in Jiang Tingyu’s view, such a response ant that Shen Siyuan had agreed.

She imdiately sent an OK emoticon, then added, "Then I’ll wait for you."

"Alright, go have your al, my noodles have clumped up," Shen Siyuan ended the conversation.

When chasing a girl, never be too eager, especially if the girl likes you, do not appear overly enthusiastic.

A girl is like a kite in the sky, pull the string too tight and it will snap, too loose and it will fall.

In any case, you must strike a balance so that the girl always keeps a sense of freshness about you and wants to actively learn more.

Though Dou Dou was watching cartoons, she always kept an eye on Shen Siyuan and saw him quickly finish his noodles with a heavy sigh.

Yin Xingyue, hearing her sigh, curiously asked, "Dou Dou, what’s wrong?"

"Potato is really living the life, eating so many instant noodles all at once," Dou Dou said with a tone full of envy.

Yin Xingyue didn’t quite understand Dou Dou’s longing; eating instant noodles was nothing to envy, as during her lifeti she often ate them, sotis for all three als a day.

"My mom says instant noodles are unhealthy and never lets eat them, but they sll so good, how can they be bad?" said Dou Dou, puzzled.

Yin Xingyue was sowhat amused by her.

"Just because sothing slls good doesn’t an it’s good, just like how beautiful people aren’t necessarily good people..."

Yin Xingyue’s voice trailed off, as these were all lessons from her own experiences.

At that mont, Shen Siyuan finished tidying up his dishes and ca over, calling out, "Stop watching cartoons, co over here."

Hearing this, Dou Dou was the first to run to Shen Siyuan and asked, looking up, "Potato, are you going to eat more instant noodles?"

"What instant noodles, I’m going to teach you sothing."

Shen Siyuan glanced at the flickering blue flas above her head and pulled out [Embrace the Wind and Sleep].

[Embrace the Wind and Sleep] had a concentrating effect and it should be sowhat useful to them.

"Follow my movents," Shen Siyuan demonstrated a posture of embracing the universe.

"Oh, so Potato is going to play a ga with us."

Dou Dou happily bounced and twirled around.

It seed that Dou Dou probably wouldn’t learn [Embrace the Wind and Sleep], too jumpy.
