Chapter 26 - 26. A deal with a ghost

YiMing's eyes locked with the ghost. She gasped, not expecting to see anything like that.

She quickly looked away from the ghost that was standing behind the teacher's desk. And when she looked up to the desk again, she was gone.

She looked around her but still didn't see anyone. Sitting here and studying wasn't in her best interest as she got up to her feet and left the noisy class.

YiMing walked through the hallway as though she knew where she was going. But she didn't.

She looked around cautiously as she walked out and then slowly left the school building. She was later outside Where she headed to the garden.

"You wanted to meet me?"

She heard the familiar female voice ask as she turned, Looking at the ghost coming out from a tree branch.

The ghost glared at her with both hands folded. YiMing's only wonder was how she knew she wanted to see her...

YiMing slowly looked around the garden "How....did you know that...?" She Asked.

"Is this important? Well if I should say I heard you discuss it in your mind at home" Said the ghost.

YiMing stiffened "Wait...what do you mean by...." She then recalled herself thinking through the previous night "Are you telling me you stalked me home last night?!" YiMing questioned.

But the ghost's expression showed no expression talk more remorse.

"And...You were listing to my thoughts?" YiMing questioned "How could you do that...You invaded both my privacies!"

"We're ghosts, that's what we do... It's not like we're gonna tell anyone your boring privacies" She rolled her eyes "That's not even important now. The most important thing is that you wanted to see me, so speak now, I don't have much time"

YiMing tried getting over the thought of her privacy being invaded. "You...did read my mind back then...So...you should know it all"

The ghost glared at her "No. I want you to say it yourself...and, you shouldn't act like that, it's not that I'm interested in reading all your minds so don't worry" She Said.

"Well..." YiMing hesitated" After giving it much thought...I decided to help you with your issue"

The ghost smiled as she nodded "Good, very good. You've just made the right choice you see. Helping me is the right thing for you to do to assure your paradise" She said.

YiMing raised an eyebrow. "Well then. how can I be of help?"

"Well, it's pretty much easy for you to help me. since I'm a ghost and can't ask many people and make Certain inquiries, you'll have to help me in this regard" She said.

"You mean ...I'll have to follow you around and ask questions while investigating?" She questioned. "No...I don't think I have Time to move about doing that"

The ghost sighed looking at her "That's helpful to me...But ..." The ghost got a bright idea "There's another easier way...."

"Easier way? What's it?" YiMing asked.

"Well...But there's a problem now..."

"What's the problem?"

"It... involves that mean Grim reaper" She stated.

YiMing frowned knowing that when he's involved, it was bad news.

"But if we manage to do it with him. I'm sure we can accomplish This is a short time!"

"Oh...So... What's it about?" She asked.

The ghost hesitated " If we can get him to help us obtain information...Then we can get to the button of it all"

"Get him to give us information? And how's that gonna be?" She asked.

"Well, he's a grim reaper, of course, so he might be able to have such information" The ghost shrugged " Maybe he can be of great help."

YiMing sighed " I...I don't think we can..."

"Gosh, don't talk negatively now. You should at least give it a go first. Okay, I'll give you a chance to prove that you can be of help. Help convince him to help, then I can believe you" She said aloofly.

YiMing couldn't believe how aloof this ghost was! She was the one to be begging her, now she's instructing her?!

"I told you, I'm not so close to him" She stated.

The ghost didn't seem to be in the mood to listen to what she had to say. "I'll be waiting for your good news" The ghost smiled at him.

Before she could say any other word, The ghost disappeared.

YiMing gasped feeling hopeless "How can she leave such responsibility to me...And it has to do with him...." She thought for a while "And I have to convince that guy? Is it even possible with his attitude...I don't think it's possible"

She looked around her. She guessed she'd had to think more about it.

YiMing slowly turned and left the garden to head back to the classroom.

On her way back, she had her head and eyes down, thinking about how she was going to go about convincing him.

She didn't want to do this but she felt I'd leave a sense of guilt in her. So she had to at least give it a go.

With her head clouded with these thoughts, she bumped into someone and stiffened.

She quickly looked up to see Her senior crush looking down into her eyes. He was tall Just like SiChen. And this sort of tallness made her wonder if she was the one who was just unreasonably short!

Their eyes had met this time, her eyes sunken into his deep eyes. Her heart began racing, thumping and thumping...She panicked.

She almost felt her heart fly off as he slowly leaned down to her bringing his hand up to her hair.
