Chapter 86

For the time being, Gu Yi'an paid no attention to the two ghosts and one dragon outside.
Because the notebook on the desk cautiously and tentatively asked her something.
"Shall we move to a new place?"
The notebook seemed afraid that Gu Yi'an would refuse. The strokes of each character were restrained, completely different from the bold and flowing handwriting of the line above that read, "You have to believe me."
Move to a new place?
Gu Yi'an glanced around the room she was currently renting.
It was neither too big nor too small, just right for a student.
The notebook, the hanging ghost, and the others would all consciously take on the form of objects here, so she didn't feel cramped living in this space.
Why was Lu Zize suggesting a move?
Could it be...
Gu Yi'an hesitated.
She wasn't sure if her guess was correct.
She felt somewhat guilty toward Lu Zize and couldn't bring herself to outright refuse.
But moving in together so soon after they had just gotten together seemed too fast.
As Gu Yi'an was pondering how to tactfully and indirectly decline, she suddenly noticed a new sentence appearing in the notebook.
"A thief will pay a visit here tonight."
Gu Yi'an didn't constantly monitor the future of this world.
If she did, life would become too dull. She still wanted to live as an ordinary person.
After reading the sentence in the notebook, Gu Yi'an immediately deduced the future.
She saw what would happen in this room a few hours later.
A thief would pry open the stainless steel security window, sneak into the room, and before taking more than two steps, would be eagerly devoured by the hanging ghost and the little girl.
It was nothing short of a tragedy.
That thief was only there to steal, a crime not deserving of death.
To prevent such a scene from possibly unfolding in this room, Gu Yi'an chose to agree.
She said, "Let's move."
Ten minutes later, Gu Yi'an stood by the window of her new residence, looking across the road at a building.
That building was unmistakable, it was the entrance to her university.
At the school gate, many young, energetic students were coming and going.
In Gu Yi'an's memory, the building directly facing the school gate was an office tower.
Inside that office tower, there was a hotel specifically catering to student couples.
Gu Yi'an withdrew her gaze and looked at Lu Zize, who was organizing the bookshelf in the room.
He had transformed back into human form from his notebook state, now dressed in simple, light-colored casual clothes. He appeared warm and even more youthful than before, with a student-like aura.
However, when looking at his profile, one could still detect a sharpness that unintentionally radiated from him.
Lu Zize noticed Gu Yi'an's gaze. Holding a book, he turned to look at her, his eyes carrying a smile that she couldn't ignore.
He seemed to be in a good mood.
But Gu Yi'an was not.
She was in a state where she wanted to confront him but felt too embarrassed to voice her grievances.
Lu Zize had gone too far, far too presumptuous.
He had directly teleported her to this kind of place.
Gu Yi'an decided to speak up.
Looking at Lu Zize, who appeared completely unfazed, she calmly asked him, "Is this what you meant by our new place?"
Whose idea of a new place was a love hotel?
Lu Zize immediately detected a hint of displeasure in Gu Yi'an's tone. The smile in his eyes instantly dimmed, as if her attitude had hurt him.
Gu Yi'an regretted her question.
Although her intuition told her that Lu Zize was likely acting again, she still didn't want to see him like this.
"What I meant was, our living space shouldn't be a place like a hotel," Gu Yi'an softened her tone.
Lu Zize's eyes brightened slightly.
Picking up a stack of documents from the desk with one hand, he said, "This building belongs to us now. The original decor and furniture have been replaced."
He smiled, and though his expression remained gentle, there was an inexplicable sense of pride, like a peacock flaunting its feathers.
He handed the documents to Gu Yi'an.
She glanced at him but still took them.
As she flipped through the papers, Gu Yi'an used her divine abilities to observe what Lu Zize had done in the past few minutes.
In that short span of time, Lu Zize had managed to purchase the entire building and even redecorated the suite they were currently in.
Just like the time he bought an abandoned amusement park.
But this time, he had the sense to renovate, a slight improvement.
Wait. Gu Yi'an realized her thoughts had strayed.
Her initial concern wasn't about the ownership of the place but the fact that they couldn't actually live here.
Gu Yi'an placed the document back on the desk.
She said, "Look at it."
Gu Yi'an pointed to the double bed in the room.
This was the source of her dilemma.
"One bed, two people, how are we supposed to sleep?"
Gu Yi'an looked at Lu Zize, hoping he would seriously consider the issue.
"Sleep together," Lu Zize replied without hesitation.
Facing Gu Yi'an's gaze, his expression was utterly unperturbed.
Gu Yi'an: "..."
She felt like hitting someone.
This guy, Lu Zize, really had no shame.
Gu Yi'an didn’t say anything more, just kept looking at Lu Zize, hoping this person who pretended to be oblivious would know his limits.
But Lu Zize’s expression remained completely unfazed.
Fortunately, his words showed some compromise.
Lu Zize suggested, "Then how about two single beds?"
Hearing this, Gu Yi'an nodded slightly.
Of course, they should sleep separately.
They had just gotten together; they needed to take things slow.
Although Gu Yi'an no longer needed sleep, she still wished to maintain her human habits and rest at night.
As soon as Gu Yi'an finished speaking, the double bed in the room instantly transformed.
Under her watchful eyes, the double bed turned into two single beds pushed together, not much different from the original double bed.
Gu Yi'an: "..."
So this was Lu Zize’s idea of two single beds?
She thought for a moment and decided she had to endure it.
After all, he was her boyfriend.
But after holding back for a little while, she felt she couldn’t take it anymore.
Was this really her boyfriend?
Enough was enough. There was no need to endure any longer.
"Lu, Zi, Ze!"
Her voice was as cool and calm as usual, but this time she pronounced his name syllable by syllable. Anyone hearing it would recognize the anger in her tone.
A palm-sized baby dragon flapped its wings.
On its back sat a small doll, while a white sunny doll lay beside it.
Suddenly, the sunny doll jolted and floated up, saying, "I think I heard the Princess’s voice."
The little doll stood up and asked, "Did we find the right place?"
The sunny doll replied, "Definitely. I recommended this place to the Ghost King. They’re definitely here, though I’m not sure which exact room."
No sooner had it spoken than a door to the side swung open.
A cool beauty with a hint of anger appeared behind it. The irritation on her face gave her a vivid, spirited beauty.
"An'an," the little doll immediately flew over and landed on the beauty’s shoulder.
The baby dragon spread its wings, let out a joyful "aowu," and flew toward the beauty as well.
Only the sunny doll remained frozen mid-air, staring at the baby dragon’s retreating figure.
Under the beauty’s gaze, it awkwardly said, "Princess, please let me explain. I absolutely did not recommend this place to the Ghost King. This was entirely the Ghost King’s own idea."
The sunny doll wanted to explain, but the beauty had no interest in listening.
She forcefully ushered a figure out the door and unhesitatingly shut it, leaving that figure and the sunny doll outside.
Outside the door, the sunny doll, a version of the Hanged Ghost, looked at the human-formed Lu Zize, somewhat confused. "Didn’t you already manage to appease the Princess? Why did she kick you out again?"
The Hanged Ghost had a feeling this was probably the Ghost King stirring up trouble again.
Lu Zize gave an ambiguous glance at the hanging ghost who had just tried to shift the blame.
Suddenly, his expression turned dejected as he said, "Because I made another mistake and upset her."
He sighed and added, "Being human is just too difficult."
The hanging ghost was startled by Lu Zize’s abrupt change in expression.
The white ghost jerked backward, crashing into the wall behind it.
The pain finally made the hanging ghost realize that Lu Zize’s words were directed at Gu Yi’an, who might be paying attention to the situation in the room.
Ghost King, where is your dignity?
The hanging ghost couldn’t help but admire Lu Zize’s ability to lie without batting an eye. Truly, the Ghost King was the Ghost King, having never been human, he could still claim to be learning how to be one without a hint of shame.
Suddenly, the sound of a door opening echoed. The door swung open, revealing Gu Yi’an, who had previously worn a faintly angry expression but now appeared calm, even slightly embarrassed.
She glanced at the somewhat dejected Lu Zize and feigned composure as she said, "Both of you, come in."
The hanging ghost froze.
Watching Gu Yi’an and Lu Zize disappear through the doorway, it suddenly realized something terrifying.
The Lady Consort actually fell for the Ghost King’s pitiful act!
The door began to close.
Seeing it about to shut, the hanging ghost hastily floated inside.
Once inside the room, the hanging ghost froze again.
Why were there two beds here?
Though they were separate...
The hanging ghost glanced at Lu Zize, who still maintained his human form.
Lady Consort, are you two cohabitating?
Wasn’t this something the Lady Consort should have rejected?
The hanging ghost felt confused. What had it missed?
