Chapter 6 The Street-Guarding Ghost

I got driven beyond the limits of forbearance, "Stop being so mean to me. It's a lot easier said than done. Everyone wants to have nice stuff, but money doesn't grow on trees. You must be a young master of a rich family, having no idea of the bitterness of common people. Don't forget, you still owe me five thousand yuan, as well as the money for staying at the hotel last night."

"You are such a stingy woman. Rest assured. I won't eat my words. Now, throw this cheap food away, and I'll buy you something better."

Rong Qi got up lightly with a young master's disposition.

I looked at him doubtfully, "Your treat?

Do you have money?"

"I have a good plan. Besides, since you are determined to follow me, I can't treat you shabbily. When I have money, I will support you."

This male ghost gave a flick of his sleeves, resembling a rich young master born with a silver spoon in his mouth.

I was delighted in recollecting his words about supporting me. But my face darkened again, when I thought of his previous words, "Who said that I'm determined to follow you?! It's you who are haunting me."

"Nagging."

"You are nagging."

We stepped out of this cheap hotel. While I was wondering how he could get money, he had walked over to the corner of the street.

He stood still there, just like a statue.

"Are you a streetwalker? You look pretty good, but no one can see you." I teased him with a knowing smile.

Rong Qi looked at me coldly and said, "Lower your head."

As soon as I bowed my head, I saw a poor ghost appear at the corner of the street. If it weren't for my natural ghost eyes, I couldn't see it.

"This..."

"This is the street-guarding ghost. I noticed him last night." Rong Qi said emotionlessly.

I suddenly realized that the so-called street-guarding ghost refers to the ghosts wandering over the streets. They didn't have any powerful ghost tactics, nor could they hurt people. They merely picked up the stuff left by passers-by.

For example, someone lost something in the street and couldn't find it, but years later, at a street corner or in a gutter, someone else would find it again.

That meant that the stuff was picked up by a street-guarding ghost who was very weak. His spirit was dispelled naturally in a couple of years, and the stuff he possessed would be discovered again.

"He has money?"

I asked cheerfully.

Rong Qi, with a threatening and shameless look, said, "Hand over all your valuable stuff. Otherwise, your spirit will be dispelled."

Darn!

This guy had the potential to be a gangster.

This miserable street-guarding ghost, who couldn't bear the oppression of Rong Qi, shrank into the corner of the wall. He, shivering out of fright, took out all his stuff in one move.

Key chains, meal cards, small notes, and coins...

What could I do with this?

I was a little bit anxious. Just then I heard a clanking sound which made me thrilled, "Wow, we are getting affluent now! We can make a living by collecting protection money from street-guarding ghosts."

"Yeah, good for you."

Rong Qi commented sarcastically and glowered at me in disappointment.

I rolled my eyes and clapped hands, as if I had made an important decision. Then, I said in earnest, "Since you'll take the bill, I'd like to have something nice."

"What's that?"

"Two egg pancakes, one for here and one to go."

"..."

Of course, I was joking. I, not masochistic as I was, would definitely take advantage of this chance. So, I deliberately chose a western-style restaurant.

This was a dating place exclusively for rich couples. The only chance for a loser like me to show up here was to find a part-time job as a waitress.

After the meal.

Thinking of the event last night, I was about to ask him where he was going to get the money, when I saw a young man and a young woman walking up to me. Maybe, they were also unexpected to come across me here.

Both of them looked unease for an instant.

"Miaoer?"

I looked up at the two in front of me.

The man, called Du Yu, was definitely a person I could never forget. He was my first boyfriend, a handsome and smart guy. Nevertheless, he turned out to be a cheater.

He had been dating a rich girl for more than half a year, and I was kept in the dark all the time.

Finally, we broke up two months ago. I never expected to see him again so soon, let alone running into each other head-on.

As for the woman, her identity was obvious. It was said that her name was Cui Tingting, and her family was super rich.

"Su Miaoer, what are you doing here?

You are not qualified!"

Cui Tingting glanced at the upscale restaurant behind me, provocatively raised her mouth with a lofty gesture, and then glanced at me in disdain.

She was the one who destroyed the relationship between Du Yu and me, and now she had a lot of nerve to be so pompous.

I was pissed off and snorted, "This restaurant is not yours. Why can't I be...

Weird, why do I smell something so disturbing when you get close to me?"

I waved my hand hastily, just like driving away mosquitoes.

"You..."

Cui Tingting probably did not expect that I would retort her sharply, since I looked like a gentle girl. She immediately turned to Du Yu with her eyes turning red.

Du Yu coughed lightly to disguise his embarrassment. I had never done him wrong when we were together, but he cheated on me. So, he felt guilty more or less. He looked at me, with an implicit apology in his eyes.

"Miaoer, please don't make a scene."
