C27 The Disobedient Child

"I think we kissed last night."

My goodness, this is embarrassing!

Yu Leelee covered her red face and lowered her voice.

"That's right. You had intimate contact with him. Not only can we ghosts not get close to you, but you will also gain your original strength for a period of time." The female ghost said faintly.

What kind of weird rule is this?

"What do you mean by 'for a period of time?'"

"It has a time limit. Now, the time limit has passed and your ability has disappeared. You're no different from an ordinary person now, except for a little theoretical knowledge."

"Then what should I do? All the training I had during my previous life would be for nothing!" Yu Leelee was extremely distressed.

"Actually, you have two options."

"What are they?" Yu Leelee asked hopefully.

"One is to use your ability to catch ghosts. You need to keep in close contact with that person to maintain the effect."

What kind of strange method is this?

Did she have to keep doing intimate things with the male lead everytime she needed to obtain her ability?

This was not her original intention at all!

She didn't want to be the Heart-tormenting Novel female lead. She didn't want to have anything to do with the male lead either.

Besides, in three months, they would be returning to their respective paths.

"The other way is to find some other spiritual energy to cultivate so you can get out of your current predicament."

"Where can I find this spiritual energy?" Yu Leelee asked.

In the original world, if she wanted some spiritual energy, all she needed was to absorb the essence of the sun and moon.

But now that the pollution in the city was so serious, not only would she be unable to absorb the essence of the sun and moon, she might even inhale a lung full of smog and dust!

"You'll have to rely on yourself to figure it out. That's all I know." The female ghost's voice gradually became weaker. "The person beside you has too much Yang energy. I'm very afraid that my soul will be destroyed before you get home."

Her soft voice was starting to sound inaudible.

"Oh, wait a moment." Yu Leelee quickly stuffed the pencil case into the deepest layer of her schoolbag then covered it with her other things.

"What are you doing?" A low, cold and mellow male voice inquired from beside her ear.

Yu Leelee's hand trembled and she quickly fastened her bag. She was still worried and patted it reassuringly.

Fortunately, while she was talking to the female ghost earlier, she made sure not to make a sound while her lips moved.

"What's this?"

Zhan Beiting's deep dark eyes fell on Yu Leelee's small book.

"Nothing. I like to scribble in it when the mood hits me." Yu Leelee recalled what the female ghost had said to her just now. She blushed and lowered her head.

Zhan Beiting frowned suspiciously.

He didn't know what she was muttering about. Although her tender lips were moving, she didn't make a sound. It was as if she was trying not to let anyone hear her.

Zhan Beiting didn't continue to probe anymore. After all, he had no interest in women. They give him a headache, especially this kind of girl who liked to cause trouble.

He lifted Yu Leelee's chin with his slender fingers and forced the girl to look up at him.

"What are you doing?" Yu Leelee's face turned even redder as she avoided his gaze.

"Are you afraid of me?" Zhan Beiting's mellow voice had a hint of curiosity.

"Why should I be afraid of you?" The girl turned her eyes away uneasily. For Zhan Beiting, it was a sign of guilt.

"Since you're afraid of me, you should behave yourself." Zhan Beiting admonished. He did not look at all like the way he did when he was protecting her in school earlier. "As long as you're a good girl, I can protect you outside. I will be your guardian and help you solve all your problems."

Now his voice was cold and impersonal. He seemed to be a different person from the one who was defending her in front of the principal, protecting her, and calling her "my family's child."

"But don't play tricks with me. I can give you everything you want within these three months, provided that you keep to yourself and not make my sister worry."

Zhan Beiting's thinking was plain and simple. He must always protect his family.

Outsiders were not allowed to bully his family.

But at home, he needed to impose strict discipline when dealing with disobedient children.
