My Ghost Lover Is Too Annoying

38. This Man Is Too Stingy

Translator: Flora

The next

morning, Chen Ming checked out and went home, leaving the poppy mountain and zombies

behind.

He walked into

the florist unhurriedly as the owner, leaned against the doorframe without

saying a word, and watched Hu Yuelan serve the customer with interest.

Even Zhou Nan

could tell she wasn’t suitable for the job- her face was sullen, and her tone was

cold, not as experienced as Chen Ming.

When the client

left, Hu Yuelan got up and stuffed the keys and wallets into Chen Ming’s arms.

“Do your

job now that you are back.” She said coldly as if she had been bored with

it for a long time.

Chen Ming took the things in a hurry and said, “Hey, I come back all the way and I am exhausted.

You don’t even greet me?”

“Exhausted?

You always catch ghosts, when did you get hurt?” Hu Yuelan

noticed the white bandage on his hand and frowned, “Are you hurt?”

Before she finished, she glanced at Zhou Nan sharply, and her cold gaze made him shiver.

Her hatred for ghosts was obvious.

Zhou Nan felt aggrieved, not daring to make a sound.

“Alas, why

do you always scare him?” Chen Ming did not know what to do with Hu Yuelan. He defended Zhou Nan,

“Little injuries, I bit them myself.” As he spoke, he pulled the cuff

down to cover the bandage. Zhou Nan finally figured out why he wore long

sleeves on hot days.

The action was subtle,

and Hu Yuelan didn’t notice anything wrong, “Tsk, I should not have been concerned. I’m leaving.”

Chen Ming smiled

and saw her off, “Thank you for taking care of the store, Miss Xie. Bon Voyage!”

Hu Yuelan was

about to leave when she heard this. She turned around and asked, “Then

shouldn’t you pay me?”

Chen Ming responded

quickly. He blinked and immediately said, ” It’s hurtful to talk about

money since we are such good friends. Alas, I’ll send you some lucky spells

some other day, this-”

“Stop

joking.” Hu Yuelan knew Chen Ming was stingy. She was asking randomly and didn’t

mean it.

Chen Ming smiled

complacently and watched her leave.

Zhou Nan floated to Chen Ming and whispered in his ear, “Isn’t it bad to be so stingy?”

Chen Ming turned

around and smiled coldly, “I’m not stingy. I am just trying to save money.”

Zhou Nan knew Chen Ming was cheeky, so he didn’t ask further and just watched Chen Ming pull out the tightly wrapped zombie

bones.

Bones were usually white, but

this bone was pitch-dark, looking weird.

He was still confused, “What is this thing for?”

“It’s for

your revival.” Chen Ming was out-spoken. He touched the cold black bones and

said, “Yo, it’s good for cooling down.”

Zhou Nan was in a daze after hearing the word ‘revival’ and didn’t know what Chen Ming said after

that.

Revival?

Revive in a new

guise?

Was it the time?

Zhou Nan was overjoyed and his expressions showed everything. Chen Ming knew it at a glance. In contrast, Chen Ming was more

realistic: “Alas, don’t be too happy. There are two more things to

prepare.”

Although the road was long and arduous, Zhou Nan was still full of hope. He was too excited about the sudden good news, “I…

can I resurrect?”

Chen Ming found

him silly and repeated, “I said the premise is to find two other

things.”

“Then, are

you still looking for them?” Zhou Nan asked gingerly.

“Of

course,” Chen Ming replied naturally, “What else would I do with my

spare time?”

Zhou Nan

suddenly pounced on Chen Ming with a “wow,” almost knocking Chen Ming

over.

“Alas! Calm

down!” Chen Ming lost balance and sat on the ground. He raised the bone high,

afraid of breaking it.

Zhou Nan still

hugged him tightly and leaned on his shoulders, “You know what? When

you said I have a chance to ‘revive in a new guise’, I thought it was a

joke. Now I’m thrilled! You’re such a stingy man. Oh no, sweet man.”

“It’s good

to know you are happy, but please let me go first.” Chen Ming couldn’t

stand his fervent gratitude, “Also, I’m not stingy!”

Zhou Nan let go

of Chen Ming and looked into his eyes with a serious expression, “I think

you lack a deep understanding of your image.”

“Why don’t

you believe me? We live together for so many days, and you don’t know me?

‘Of course, I

know you, you are stingy and proud. You look like a ruffian but can be heroic sometimes. You do good things without letting people know it.

When he finished

thinking about his answer and decided to refute, he heard Chen Ming say, “I

put the money in Hu Yuelan’s pocket! Didn’t you see it?”

“Really?”

Hu Yuelan was

walking on the road. When touching the pocket, she felt a bulging thing. She

opened it and smiled -almost half of the income these days was neatly wrapped .

She muttered helplessly, “You…”
