Pei Xingcheng went on and on about his handsome looks and how girls were willing to do anything to be with him.
Finally, the beautiful ghost couldn't bear it anymore. This guy was already annoying when she was alive, but even after her death, this trait in him hasn't changed. There was no stop button on this guy when he started talking about his good looks. "Okay, Pei Xingcheng how narcissist can you get? Would you consider stopping for once?" she yelled angrily.
Pei Xingcheng paused and stared at her for a second. "That's not narcissism, that's confidence, baby."
The beautiful ghost put her hand on her waist and narrowed her eyes slightly.
Immediately, Pei Xingcheng smiled awkwardly and changed his words. "I mean, baby ghost... No! I meant to say beautiful ghost or should I start calling you Miss Ghost? Wait, I forgot to ask. What is your name?"
"Don't remember," The beautiful ghost shrugged.
Though she remembered her name, yet for some reason she was unable to say it. Every time, she dared to speak her name, she would get buzzed. And, it was not a good feeling. Hence, she came to the conclusion that whatever kept her here as a ghost had bound her spirit with some rules. One of them was that she couldn't say her name to Pei Xingcheng.
Moreover, she remembered the doctor's instructions well and knew she couldn't tell anything about herself to him. She didn't want to harm him.
Pei Xingcheng frowned upon hearing that. "Oh! So, you are like me too. A ghost with amnesia. That's great! So, how about I start calling you Miss Ghost? Would you like that?"
"Anything is fine with me," Miss Ghost waved her hand giving him the 'okay' signal. It didn't matter to her what he called her as long as he was willing to talk to her.
Seeing that she agreed to his given name, strange happiness began to fill Pei Xingcheng's heart. It was as if he had achieved something, done something good. This feeling was very strange, something he had never experienced before but he didn't hate this. Infact, he liked this feeling.
He sat calmly on the bed and looked at the beautiful ghost in front of him. "So, are you really a ghost?" he couldn't help but ask.
"No, I am a Dracula," the beautiful ghost said sarcastically.
"Hey, Miss Ghost, there is no need to be sarcastic," he chuckled slowly. "I am just curious. How am I able to see you?"
"I don't know," she answered.
"Can anyone else see you?" he asked next.
The beautiful ghost shook her head.
"So, that means, I am the only one who can see you," he deduced slowly.
The beautiful ghost nodded. "You just saw that. Your bodyguards, that assassin were not able to see me. That means, in this world, for now, only you can see me."
"Is that why you are haunting me? Because I can see you?" he asked. "Or is it because I am an extremely handsome man and even as a ghost, you are failing to resist my charm."
Hearing those words again, Miss Ghost rolled her eyes. She was about to snap at him, but when she saw that proud smile on the corner of his face, she changed her mind. Suddenly, she gave him her most malicious look and floated right in front of him.
"Pei Xingcheng, you are so smart. The moment I saw you, I took a liking to you. Your body is full of energy, full of vigor. I am sure that after I end up sucking all your essence, my spirit will get powerful," she teased, as she licked her lips and her ghostly eyes began to be filled with brilliance.
Pei Xingcheng was startled but not scared. For some reason, he just knew in his heart, that ghost in front of him would never hurt him. If she wanted to hurt him, she wouldn't have saved him in the first place.
Miss Ghost was surprised to see that he wasn't scared of her anymore. "You don't seem to fear me anymore? Why is that?"
"Because even as a ghost, you are a terrible actor," he answered honestly. "And, I noticed, you can't touch me. Infact, you can't touch anything."
"But I can move you just like I did with that assassin," she retorted.
"You can't!" he chuckled.
"I can!"
"Hah! You can't... you are not powerful enough," he said knowingly. "Don't think I didn't see that. I saw everything that happened to you after you moved that assassin."
Miss Ghost blinked her eyes and gave up. He was right. To move the assassin, she had used all of her energy and when she tried it the second time, she failed. That's why, the pants came off. At that moment, she felt like a deflated balloon, so weak, so frail as if she would disappear at any given time.
She realized that she was weak, and needed to get strong to help Pei Xingcheng.
But how? That was a question whose answer she still needed to figure out.
"Fine, you win. I can't touch you. But since you can see, you need to help me."
Pei Xingcheng raised his brows. "And, why would I do that?"
"Because you would get my help in return," she answered. "Look, that assassin said that someone hired him to end your life. Since, today, he was unsuccessful, he will come again. Which means you are in danger, so you need my help."
Pei Xingcheng looked at her for a moment and a strange smile appeared on his face, making his eyes shine. For a slight second, Miss Ghost was stunned by the beauty of the man in front of him.
"You mean, you want to make a deal with me?"
"Yes," Miss Ghost nodded. "I will try to find out who wants to end your life, while you will need to search about me like who am I, what happened to me, and so on. In that way, we can help each other. What do you say? This is a good deal, right?"
