Su Qiqi was reluctant to admit it out of dignity, but when she thought of the terrible time when she had lost all her memories, she could not say anything to defend her dignity.

"I can't resist you anyway."

Su Qiqi turned her face away unwillingly.

Admitted defeat, but not completely.

"What a bunch of brats these days," Li Lin shook his head helplessly. "The existence of ghosts is wrong, but just like people make mistakes, ghosts can be found everywhere, and your mother is no exception. I'm not the kind of righteous person who can't stand the existence of ghosts in the world, so even if you keep your mother here, I won't do anything."

Su Qiqi's face suddenly turned extremely pale, and she turned her face away stiffly.

"I, don't know what you're talking about."

"Ha - don't look at me like this, I'm an expert on ghosts," Li Lin held his forehead and sighed, "Did you do anything on your mother's 57th day of death?"

"I, I didn't..."

Su Qiqi's voice became smaller and smaller, and it was almost as if her face was showing what she had done.

"May 7th is an important day," Li Lin was in no hurry to expose Su Qiqi's lies. He put his hands behind his head and lay down next to Su Qiqi with a thud.

Su Qiqi subconsciously moved her body, but Li Lin immediately moved up again and stuck to Su Qiqi's body. Her hands and feet were fixed. Su Qiqi had little room to move and could only helplessly endure Li Lin's sticking to her.

"Thirty-five days after a person dies, their soul will come back to see their family for the last time before being reincarnated." Li Lin turned over, raised his arm and gently placed it on Su Qiqi's waist, his eyes narrowed slightly, "What did you do on the seventh day that caused your mother to be unwilling to leave, right?"

"I don't understand what you are talking about. The five-seventh anniversary is all feudal superstition," Su Qiqi shrank her neck, "In some places, there is not even such a term as the five-seventh anniversary."

"Yes, it's feudal superstition. But why do you think there is such feudal superstition?"

Li Lin tightened his arms little by little and pulled Su Qiqi into his arms, then leaned close to her ear and whispered.

"Because, on the thirty-fifth day after a person dies, they will indeed come back to see their family for the last time. Those who confirmed this established the May 7th ceremony. Classmate Su Qiqi, you did something on the May 7th, right?"

"I, I didn't..."

Su Qiqi clenched her fists tightly.

"Of course, even if you didn't say anything, I probably guessed it. Your mother seemed like an optimistic person. Even if she died, the one she would think about the most would be you, her daughter. After confirming that you, her daughter, were fine, she would probably leave with peace of mind. And you did something that made your mother very uneasy, running around, doing something very, very dangerous."

Li Lin grinned.

"And you, not only did you not follow the custom and burn your mother's clothes, you also kept them in the original position. As a result, Su Yu, who was worried about you, started to act according to the original trajectory of life, just like when she was alive. But you should have understood it by now..."

Su Qiqi closed her eyes in pain and curled up her body.

"You can't actually see your mother at all, right?" Li Lin said dimly, "You can only confirm your mother's condition and location through feeling and the movement of objects."

"I don't know what you are talking about..."

"You are actually very scared, right? You are afraid that your mother will go out to work as usual, but never come back, and you will be sitting alone at home, waiting. So you have to make trouble, so that your mother who loves you the most will definitely worry about you and will definitely do something. This way, you can be sure that your mother is still there."

"I don't know what you're doing!"

Su Qiqi struggled hard.

In order to prevent Su Qiqi from pulling his wrist, Li Lin reached out and tightly wrapped his arms around Su Qiqi's waist.

"I can see your mother. She is not just a blurry shadow."

In one sentence, just a few short words calmed the frantic Su Qiqi down. After a long silence, she gently turned her body towards Li Lin and weakly rested her head on Li Lin's chest.

"How does she look..."

"Looks busy," Li Lin raised his hand and gently patted Su Qiqi's back, "That's about enough."

"I do not want……"

"Even if you die in the same way, you won't become a ghost."

"I do not believe."

"Ghosts are wrong, because their birth is filled with sadness and unwillingness. Your mother didn't want to be separated from you, and she kept thinking about you until the end of her life, so she became a ghost. She should have left peacefully on the 57th day, but because of you, she had to stay."

Li Lin hugged Su Qiqi gently.

"Even if you experienced the same thing and died, it would only be a relief for you, and you could go find your mother. But you would be left alone in this world, watching your mother go through the same tragedy as her. Your only hope died in the same way. Your mother... would most likely exist in this world forever as a ghost. Is this okay?"

Su Qiqi's body shook violently.

"Then what should I do..."

"It's about time you act like an adult and let your mother feel at ease."

Li Lin sighed softly.

"I don't want to... I don't want to be like this... I don't want to be alone..."

"It's okay," Li Lin patted Su Qiqi's back gently, "You are not alone, I will stay with you."

"Who wants a... scumbag like you... to accompany me..."

Su Qiqi's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared completely, leaving only the gradually steady breathing sound.

are you asleep?

"Really..."

Li Lin heaved a sigh of relief, reached out to untie the shackles on Su Qiqi's wrists, stood up and rubbed his neck, glanced at Su Qiqi who was mumbling in her sleep, sighed deeply again, and reached out to tidy up the messy hair on Su Qiqi's forehead.

"That's why I hate those little brats. They look so pitiful and I can't bring myself to do anything to them."

Chapter 164: Having a Heart and Lungs is Very Tired

That's a nightmare.

The man's triumphant laughter, clothes being torn and thrown everywhere, tears, screams, and unyielding resistance.

Mother never gave up resisting until the end.

Su Qiqi opened her eyes and raised her hands to cover her eyes.

Although she didn't want to admit it, she was now very comfortable and relaxed. She didn't feel any of the heart-wrenching pain she had felt before, and she even wanted to turn over and continue sleeping.

"I am really a heartless person..."

"Then what do you think it takes to be a caring person?" Li Lin closed the book in his hand and glanced at Su Qiqi who was lying on the bed and laughing in self-abandonment.

“It’s grief all the time.”

“Every second stays in that day.”

“There is not a moment that I don’t recall.”

"Does this count as being caring?" Li Lin spread his hands. "It's tiring, isn't it? I can hardly feel anything anymore, but I'm still forcing myself to be moved and hurt by this matter."

Su Qiqi was silent for a long time, then turned over and rolled the quilt around herself.

"It has nothing to do with you."

"It really has nothing to do with me. To be honest, it's just a coincidence that I'm here now," Li Lin put the book on the table. "My purpose was just to enter this building. It was just a coincidence that I rang your doorbell."

"You're not thinking that fate has destined you to get in my way," Su Qiqi muttered unwillingly.

If Li Lin pressed the wrong button when ringing the doorbell, either the courier or the food delivery man would rape and kill her.

Her life will end the way she wants, and finally usher in the result that she is most unwilling to accept.

No, probably, the only one who would suffer the worst outcome would be her mother who remained in the world because of her willfulness, while she felt that things were done and died as if she were relieved.

"How could it be? This is just a coincidence. The reason why I stopped you..."

Li Lin leaned back slightly, crossed his fingers on his knees, bent his head slightly, thought for a while, and then grinned.

"I just simply feel it's a pity. In another year or two, you will surely become a beauty that will leave people speechless."

"And then you will take action?"

"Well..."

Li Lin blinked and felt a little confused.

"I will only fulfill half of your wish. I will have sex with you, but I won't kill you or anything..."

Li Lin spread his hands and smiled confidently.

"I will keep trying until you don't want to die."

Su Qiqi curled up and couldn't help rolling her eyes.

"I was almost moved to tears."

“Ahahaha… That’s an exaggeration. Forget about the tears. The water will still make you cry a lot,” Li Lin smiled and waved his hand. “Of course, you will still shed happy tears at that time.”

“Who wants to shed those tears?”

Su Qiqi sighed angrily, raised her hand and threw the pillow at Li Lin. Li Lin did not dodge and let the pillow hit him in the face. Perhaps because he had almost recovered, the attack of the pillow was particularly powerful, and Li Lin was thrown backwards on the spot.

"You're the only one who's happy!"

"You are so heartless. You were so happy before," Li Lin pulled the pillow off. "You were so happy that you lost consciousness."

"you!"

Su Qiqi's face turned red in an instant, and she opened her mouth to curse back, but when she thought about the way Li Lin was behaving, he would probably make her experience it again right after she finished her unwilling rebuttal, until she admitted it.

"So what on earth do you want to do here?"

"Well... before that, please answer a question for me first."

Li Lin stroked his chin and tilted his head.

"How long have you lived here?"

"Five years, when I was in elementary school because I left... Why are you asking this?" Su Qiqi's eyes flickered and she bent her legs, her face full of vigilance.

"Lu Qin, do you know this person?" Li Lin narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Lu Qin..."

Su Qiqi tilted her head, blinked, and looked at Li Lin in confusion.

"Don't know him?" Li Lin raised his eyebrows slightly.

If Lu Qin had not died, she should be about the same age as Su Qiqi. Since they lived in the same residential complex, the probability that they went to the same junior high school was very high, and the floor numbers were not much different.

"I know her... I know her... She was my junior high school classmate, in the same class, and she was the arts committee member," Su Qiqi leaned back slightly, "but she..."

"She's dead," Li Lin raised his eyebrows slightly, "How is your relationship with her?"

"Well..." Su Qiqi moved aside awkwardly, "When we were in the first and second year of junior high school, we had a pretty good relationship. It was because of her that I started learning dancing, and we even danced together in art performances."

"Eh...honest student," Li Lin turned around and wrote down the three words "honest student" on a piece of white paper. After a pause, he put a question mark after "honest student." "According to your tone, did something happen in the third year?"

"Well..."

Su Qiqi curled her lips, hugged her knees, and her tone was a little unwilling.

"She fell in love with a poor student as if she was possessed. She didn't study hard, her grades plummeted, and she violated school rules by getting her hair permed, dyed, and done manicures. Because of this, her parents were called several times, and her scores in the first and second mock exams were very low."

"The dangers of premature love," Li Lin poked the paper lightly with his pen, "You don't have premature love, do you?"

"My mom raised me all by herself, so I can't be so heartless as to fall in love," Su Qiqi rolled her eyes. "I learned dance because my grades wouldn't be the best, so I just wanted to get some extra points."

Li Lin paused and looked at Su Qiqi with a subtle expression.

"Mother control?"

"Control your uncle!"

Su Qiqi angrily waved her fist in Li Lin's direction.

"Well, I know something now," Li Lin ignored Su Qiqi's protest, stroking his chin and lost in thought, "I have an idea."

"Do you know Lu Qin?" Su Qiqi folded her arms across her chest and snorted coldly, turning her face away, not wanting to pay attention to Li Lin, but still secretly glanced at Li Lin.

"Well, I have her love letters here," Li Lin raised his fingers and shook them, "After sorting them out a bit, I found a small problem, and now the problem has been magnified."

"Hey... love letter..."

Su Qiqi stretched out her voice.

"You should just go find the original owner of the love letter. He must know a lot, even though he's very tight-lipped."

"About this..." Li Lin sighed deeply, "There is a difficulty."

"What?"
