Feeling the cold breeze, hitting the lower part of his body, a look of shame appeared on the assassin's face. His face was full of questions when he looked down at his pants that were fallen on the ground. How did his pants fall? This is something that has never happened during the five years of his assassination career.
"Don't look!" he yelled angrily while covering the private part of his body with his hands.
Pei Xingcheng raised his hand and looked away. At the same time, he couldn't help but ask out loud. "Hey, Mr. Assasin, don't you know you should wear your underwear before going out to work?"
"I always wear them," the assassin hissed shamefully and picked up his pants. "It's just today, I forgot to wear them."
"Haha... who forgets to wear their underwear?" Pei Xingchneg laughed. "You are so dumb!"
The assassin: "..........." (Fuck! What a shameful day!)
The beautiful ghost: "........." (Is this guy serious?)
When she saw the careless look on Pei Xingcheng's face, her anger rose. This man.... how can he be such an idiot? Why was he conversing with the assassin and making fun of him? Shouldn't he be calling for his bodyguards to catch the assassin and to know who wants him dead?
"Pei Xingcheng," she called him through gritted teeth. "You stupid idiot! Call your bodyguards to catch this man. Or are you waiting there to die?! Do you have no brains or is it that you lost them in the accident? How can you stand there conversing with an assassin instead of trying to save your life?"
Seeing the ghost's anger, Pei Xingcheng's eyes flashed and he felt slightly guilty.
He pinched his nose and pouted his lips slowly. "I am not an idiot and stop talking like that fool Ye Qingze," he muttered under his breath but the next second, he did call out for his bodyguards. Immedietely, the door was pushed open and two strong bodyguards entered the room.
Seeing the assassin inside the room, the bodyguard's face turned serious. They jumped forward trying to catch him, but the assassin was quick to flee. Realizing the danger, he cursed under his breath, pushed Pei Xingcheng out of the way, and jumped out of the window but not before throwing out a warning. "Mission failed but I will be back, superstar."
"Ahhh!!!" Pei Xingcheng closed his eyes and yelled when he realized he was about to fall to the ground.
Immedietely, Miss Ghost rushed forward trying to save him, but her soul passed right through his body and she was completely useless. When she realized this, she felt heartbroken and utterly helpless. In this form, she wasn't even able the help the man she loved.
Then what was the use of her staying here as a ghost?
Was it to save him? But how can save him when she can't even touch him? She wondered sadly.
She looked back and thankfully, Pei Xingcheng was alright and he was sitting on the bed. One of the bodyguards was quick to help him. "Young Master, are you alright?"
"I am fine, thanks," he nodded.
"Younger Master, you were just attacked. We have to inform Master Pei," the bodyguards informed.
"Okay, you do that." Pei Xingcheng agreed with the bodyguards. This was getting serious. First, it was his accident, and then it was this assassination attempt. He was a target. Somebody out there wanted to kill him.
Why? Pei Xingcheng didn't know. On top of that, his memory loss was going to become a big obstacle in finding out about his hidden enemy.
One of the bodyguards stepped outside the room to inform Pei Qinshan, while the other decided to stay inside the room. Pei Xingcheng turned his head and stared at the ghost. At first, he thought that she was just a figment of his imagination but now he realized that he was wrong.
She was a ghost and only he was able to see her.
Why and how? He didn't know. But one thing was sure, this ghost protected him. Hence, he wasn't that scared when he looked at her.
He wanted to talk to her, ask her why she protected him but his bodyguard was inside the room along with him. He surely wasn't going to talk to a ghost that only he could see, otherwise, the bodyguards might call him crazy. Therefore, he quickly thought of an excuse to send the bodyguard to stand outside his room.
After the bodyguards left, Pei Xingcheng looked at the ghost.
"Hey, Miss Beautiful, you saved me earlier," he said to the ghost and smiled. "Thank you."
The beautiful ghost looked at him and then turned her face away.
Pei Xingcheng: "..........."
He was confused as to why the ghost wasn't talking to him. He called her again and then realized that she was ignoring him. She seemed angry. When he realized that, he raised his brows with a surprised look.
A ghost with a temper? Now, that was interesting and at the same time, unbelievable.
"Are you angry with me?" he asked carefully.
"No!" The beautiful ghost glared at him. "I am quite happy with you. You know what, Xingcheng, you should have just let that nasty assassin kill you. Then maybe, you would have died, joining me as a ghost so that we could have lived happily forever together. Right?"
Pei Xingcheng gasped dramatically, his eyes wide in shock. "You... that means you were coveting me from the start. I knew it. Damn it! You fell in love with me right?"
The beautiful ghost: ???
She opened her mouth to clarify his doubts, but before she could speak, he continued. "I should have realized it earlier. This was your goal all along, right? You want to kill me so that I can turn into a ghost and become your partner. You are coveting me because of my handsomeness but you see, miss beautiful ghost, I don't want to die yet."
"I am a human and you are a ghost. There is no compatibility between us. Even if you like me, you can't have me. Why don't you look for some beautiful male ghost in your ghost world? Though you might not find someone as handsome as me, but you would definitely find someone to accompany you...."
The beautiful ghost: "......."
