Chapter 457: Come to My Room Later…

Tang Jing held the kitchen knife in her hand and pulled Tang Xiaomi together with her as she ran to Su Yang’s side. She looked at Su Yang with her watery eyes and said softly, “Su Yang, I’m not joking. I even talked to it.”

Su Yang was confused.

‘You’ve talked to a ghost?

‘A ghost actually even had the patience to communicate with you?’

Su Yang smiled and asked, “How did the both of you communicate with each other?”

Tang Jing said, “I was lying on the bed with Xiaomi in my arms as I told her a bedtime story. After a long time, Xiaomi finally fell asleep. The lights were on at the time, I wanted to turn off the light and go to sleep, but I was afraid that I would wake Xiaomi up from my movements, so I jokingly said, ‘Is anyone there? Can you turn off the light for me?’”

“Then…”

Su Yang looked at her in shock. “And the lights went off?”

Tang Jing shook her head. “Then there was no reaction.”

Su Yang was speechless.

‘Woman, you’re probably messing around with me!’

Tang Jing could tell that Su Yang was speechless. She quickly said, “I’m not done, let me finish first.”

Su Yang held onto Tang Xiaomi’s hand as they walked towards the living room. “Alright… go ahead.”

Tang Jing said, “Then I said, ‘Help me turn it off please. If you do, I’ll treat you to some oranges.’”

“Then, just as I said that, the light turned off.”

“I was immediately shocked. Then I asked, ‘Who are you? Where are you?’”

“Then the ghost said, ‘I’m right above you. And… What’s an orange?’”

Su Yang was speechless.

‘Why does that tone sound like Old Tungsten?

‘Indeed, I did not bring Old Tungsten with me to my Lingnan trip. However, Old Tungsten isn’t in Tang Jing and Tang Xiaomi’s bedroom, so that shouldn’t have happened…’

Su Yang asked, “Have you been staying in your bedroom for the past few days?”

Tang Jing nodded quickly.

Su Yang was confused.

‘They were In their own bedroom?

‘Then, it shouldn’t be Old Tungsten…

‘Could there really be a ghost?’

Su Yang lowered his head and looked at Tang Xiaomi. Tang Xiaomi was wearing a pink down jacket. The jacket was very thick and wrapped her up like a cotton ball. Tang Jing even put a cap on her, making the little girl sweat profusely during the hot summer.

Perhaps because Su Yang was looking at her, Tang Xiaomi put on a sweet smile and said in her coquettish voice, “That ghost has even talked a lot today.”

‘What?

‘Xiaomi heard it too?’

Su Yang asked curiously, “What did it say?”

Tang Xiaomi said cutely, “It said, ‘The moon shines on my bed brightly, so brightly that I mistook it for frost on the ground. Frost… What is that?’”

“Then, it also said, ‘Don’t you see the Yellow River’s waters come from heav’n divine, they rush out to the sea and to return at all decline…, What does the sea look like actually?’”

‘This ghost is even a poet?’

Su Yang was confused.

‘However, now that Tang Xiaomi and Tang Jing have both said that they had encountered a ghost, something weird must have really happened.

‘However, I don’t believe in ghosts.

‘Then again, if there are no ghosts, then it could only be the work of a few little monsters.’

Su Yang squatted down and helped Tang Xiaomi to remove her down jacket. Then, he said to Tang Jing, “Even so, you didn’t have to make your child wear this many clothes, did you?”

Tang Jing was still holding the kitchen knife in her hand. Her face was slightly red, unknown whether it was due to her shyness or from the heat. After all, she was also wrapped in a thick down jacket. “I… Can’t you see that I was scared. I thought I’d wear more to protect myself.”

Su Yang was speechless.

‘That does seem to make sense surprisingly!’

Su Yang helped Tang Xiaomi take off her clothes and used his palm to wipe the sweat on her forehead. Then, he stood up and took the knife from Tang Jing. “You should take some layers off as well, I’ll go up and take a look.”

When Tang Jing heard Su Yang’s words, she asked hesitantly, “You… Are you going up just like that?”

Su Yang glanced at her. “Otherwise?”

Tang Jing said, “Why don’t… Why don’t you wear a down jacket too?”

Su Yang was speechless

‘Does this woman think that the down jacket will be able to ward off ghosts?

‘Is she really so superstitious?

‘Pfft. There aren’t any such superstitions where down jackets will ward off ghosts!’

Su Yang shook his head. “It’s fine. There are definitely no ghosts in this world. Even if there are, I will destroy them completely.”

With that, Su Yang went upstairs without looking back.

Looking at Su Yang’s back view, Tang Jing’s mind was filled with Su Yang’s domineering words, and her eyes were filled with emotions.

‘This feeling of someone stepping forward to protect me in my moment of danger… Feels so warm.’

Su Yang walked carefully along the corridor with a knife in his hand.

When he reached the end of the corridor, he suddenly heard a man’s melancholic recital. “When will the endless cycle of the spring flower and the autumn moon come to an end? How much remembrance of the things past does a heart know? Last night, in the attic revisited by the eatern wind, it was unbearable to look toward home in the fair moonlight… Beautiful, simply beautiful.”

‘Could this ghost actually be an artistic one?

‘Is it actually reciting poems?’

Su Yang hesitated as he pushed open Tang Jing’s room door. The moment he opened his eyes, he saw a round tungsten light bulb hanging above his head.

He could not help but ask, “Old Tungsten? Is that you?”

The light bulb flickered twice and Su Yang heard the voice reciting the poem again. “It’s me, teacher.”

‘Teacher?

‘Since when have I become a teacher?

Old Tungsten answered, “As the saying goes, the last shall become the first and become my teacher at last. You were born many years before me, so you would definitely know more than me. That’s why I’m calling you my teacher, there’s nothing wrong with that.”

It spoke with a very dynamic tone, making it sound like an ancient scholar.

This was also the reason why Su Yang did not recognize it when he heard it reciting the poem.

Su Yang ignored the way it addressed him as a teacher and asked, “Why are you in this room?”

Old Tungsten said, “Hmm? Nay, teacher, you’re mistaken. I’m just a poet who has neither legs nor feet. Hence, how could I have entered this room myself?”

‘A Poet… With no legs or feet?

‘You’re the only one without those, capiche?!’

Su Yang mimicked its tone and asked, “Then who could it be… who could have possibly brought you into this room?”

Old Tungsten said, “Last night, Gru, Dagger Girl and the little girl were playing in my room. Then, when the other woman returned and found the lights in her bedroom to have ceased to function, she took me out and brought me over here.”

Su Yang was speechless.

‘So that’s what happened.

‘Hold on, Tang Jing actually changed light bulbs with her bare hands?

‘As expected, women may be weak, but mothers are definitely tough. She and Tang Xiaomi have probably lived alone for a long time, so they’ve picked up quite a lot of survival skills.’

While he was still thinking, Old Tungsten spoke again. “The woman said she would give me an orange. But… What is an orange?”

Su Yang replied casually, “It’s a fruit from a plant. You can’t eat it.”

As he spoke, he removed Old Tungsten and found another light bulb from the virtual space to replace it.

After that, Su Yang went downstairs. Tang Jing was waiting anxiously at the staircase on the first floor with Tang Xiaomi in her arms. She looked just like a woman who was anxiously waiting for her husband to return from war.

When she saw that Su Yang was safe and sound, Tang Jing hurried over and asked, “Did you catch it?”

Su Yang smiled and said, “What’s there to catch? It’s not a ghost.”

Tang Jing was surprised. “Not a ghost? How is that possible? We really…”

Seeing that Tang Jing still wanted to explain, Su Yang interrupted her. “I understand what you’re trying to say, but that really wasn’t a ghost. That’s just my artificial intelligence program.”

“Artificial?” Tang Jing was shocked.

“Intelligence?” Tang Xiaomi’s eyes widened.

Su Yang nodded. “That’s right. I’ve installed an artificial intelligence system programme in a room at home to study the interaction between artificial intelligence and household devices. One of the devices is a light bulb.”

“In the end, you changed the lightbulb to your bedroom and caused a malfunction. That’s why that happened.”

“Oh… I see.” Upon hearing Su Yang’s explanation, Tang Jing came to a realization. Everyone knew that Su Yang had the most advanced artificial intelligence in the country, so it made sense that he had artificial intelligence at home!

As Tang Xiaomi had never seen the news before and had already seen Gru and Dagger Girl before, she did not know much about what was happening. Therefore, she looked at Su Yang in disbelief.

Just as she was feeling confused, she saw Su Yang wink at her. She immediately understood that the ghost was probably another monster.

After that, Su Yang brought Tang Jing upstairs to take a look. After confirming that the light bulb had changed, Tang Jing finally felt more at ease. However, she was still a little uneasy, perhaps because she had been scared the whole day.

When Su Yang saw that, he suddenly remembered the [Entrepreneur’s Sofa Of Everlasting Victory] that he had just gotten. ‘Should I let Tang Jing use it?’

Su Yang asked Tang Jing, “Sister Tang, would you like… To have a massage?”

Tang Jing looked at Su Yang in confusion. “Massage?”

Su Yang nodded and grabbed at the air with both hands. “That’s right, massage. I’ve just learned some massage techniques recently, so I should be quite good. It can effectively relieve one’s mind and body. I feel like you’re a little nervous.”

Tang Jing blushed when she heard that. She glanced at Tang Xiaomi and whispered, “That doesn’t seem appropriate…”

Su Yang replied, “It’s fine. I shouldn’t take too long.” Then, he said to Tang Xiaomi, “Xiaomi, go play by yourself. I have something to discuss with your mommy.”

Tang Xiaomi pouted and snorted. “Okay, I’ll go watch TV then. Don’t make too much noise and disturb me watching TV.”

Su Yang was confused.

‘What does she mean?’

Tang Jing blushed and shouted at Tang Xiaomi, “Xiaomi! What kind of nonsense are you talking about!”

Tang Xiaomi made a face. “Neh neh, mommy’s afraid of pain but doesn’t want me to tell anyone about it. I’m off to watch TV now.” Then, she slipped away.

Tang Jing blushed as she said to Su Yang, “My body is a little more sensitive and… Fragile. Simply put, I can’t handle that much pressure on me. Previously, when I brought Xiaomi for a spa and massage, I was moaning… Terribly.”

Su Yang was speechless.

‘Is that even possible?’

He looked at Tang Jing. She was so shy that her face was lowered so much that it almost touched her chest.

Su Yang coughed and said, “Then, I’ll go make the preparations first. Come to my room later.”

Tang Jing acknowledged softly.

When he returned to his room, Su Yang pondered for a while and took out an eye mask from the virtual space. Then, he took out the [Entrepreneur’s Sofa Of Everlasting Victory] and the [Double Sided Salted Fish Mask].

‘It’s better to be well prepared.’

He believed that with the 2 special items, Tang Jing would be able to feel better.

5 minutes later, someone knocked on Su Yang’s door.
