CHAPTER 524: CHAPTER 524: RUN AWAY

At first, Yuan Kaiyang and his wife had some doubts.

But after Dou Dou conveyed the messages for them, they became completely convinced.

Because within those words, there were many private matters, known only to father and son, or mother and son, yet Dou Dou was able to answer them accurately, without missing a beat.

Of course, these questions were actually their way of testing Dou Dou.

Innocent Dou Dou, unaware of the dangers of the human heart, was simply helping them relay messages earnestly.

But gradually, Dou Dou began to grow impatient.

She no longer wanted the Jumping Ball, nor the Dinosaur Egg.

"It’s not fun at all, I want to go back." Dou Dou said.

"Little sister, don’t rush. Auntie will get you something tasty, and I’ll send you back later." Deng Huiling quickly said upon hearing this.

She still had many things she wanted to say to her son, and couldn’t bear to let Dou Dou leave now.

"Yes, have dinner at our place first, tonight uncle will cook something delicious for you. Where is your home, I’ll go tell your parents." Yuan Hesheng also quickly chimed in.

"I’m a ghost, I can’t eat anything, and I don’t need you to send me. I can get back by myself." Dou Dou slid off the sofa.

"But... but I still have so much to say to my mom and dad." Yuan Kaiyang said sadly.

"Then why don’t you tell them yourself."

"I want to, but they can’t see me or hear my voice."

"Then you can find Potato for help."

"But... but I don’t know him."

"That’s okay if you don’t know him, I know him. I’ll go back and tell Potato, and he’ll surely help you."

"Really?"

"Of course it’s true, Potato listens to everything I say." Dou Dou said with great confidence.

"Dou Dou, you’re so kind. Thank you, I’ll wait for you then."

"Okay, wait for my good news."

After saying this, Dou Dou turned to Yuan Hesheng and his wife and said: "Goodbye Uncle and Auntie."

The couple, who hadn’t spoken while watching Dou Dou "perform," now opened their mouths, wanting to keep Dou Dou.

But before they could say anything, Dou Dou suddenly disappeared before their eyes.

Then a gust of Yin Wind swirled in the room, finally flying to the balcony and rushing out the window.

The couple’s mouths and eyes were wide, even more so than when they first learned their son had become a ghost and had been by their side all along.

"Am I dreaming?" Deng Huiling murmured.

Seemingly talking to herself, yet also asking Yuan Hesheng beside her.

"How could it be possible that we both dream the same thing?"

"Then is there something wrong with my mind?"

"Don’t overthink it, everything just now was real." Yuan Hesheng quickly said.

He was startled by these words because Deng Huiling was severely affected by their son’s death and was already mentally disturbed, and now having such thoughts could really result in her having severe problems.

"That little girl just said she was a ghost, right?"

"Yes, she said she can’t eat anything."

"Then why can we see her but can’t see Yangyang?" Deng Huiling asked in confusion.

After finishing, she called Yangyang in the empty living room, but naturally, there was still no response.

"Maybe it’s because... it’s because..."

"Because of what?" Deng Huiling turned to him.

"Because Yangyang passed away too recently?" Yuan Hesheng said.

Upon hearing this, Deng Huiling fell silent, her expression full of sadness and sorrow.

Yuan Hesheng embraced her shoulder, saying: "Let’s stop fighting, Yangyang is watching, worrying about us."

"Have we been fighting?"

"Yes, we haven’t, we haven’t, it will get better, it will get better..." Yuan Hesheng said, his voice trembling.

And Deng Huiling buried her head in Yuan Hesheng’s chest, sobbing quietly.

"Mama..."

Yuan Kaiyang crouched beside, watching his still grieving parents, his face full of confusion, not knowing if what he did today was right or if it was of any use.

-----------------

Dou Dou rode the Yin Wind, muttering all the way, returning to the Sea Breeze District with a displeased look.

She spent an entire afternoon, and when it was supposed to be about receiving toys, she ended up not getting a single one.

The Jumping Ball is fun, the Dinosaur Egg is beautiful, oh well...

Dou Dou landed on the balcony, revealing her figure.

"Ha~"

At this moment, she heard a loud laugh from Tang Tang, who rushed out from inside, rushing straight to Dou Dou, hugging her tightly.

Like a stubborn plaster, she couldn’t shake her off.

"You’re not my good friend." Dou Dou said irritably.

She said this because she had previously told Yuan Kaiyang which friends she had, including Tang Tang, but now she was absolutely convinced that Tang Tang wasn’t one.

Inside, Shen Siyuan had just returned from work and was talking to Xiao Yue.

Xiao Yue was handing the Leg Stretching Eye Bulging Pill back to Shen Siyuan.

"Grandma asked me to thank you, she said she doesn’t need these anymore."

"Oh?" Shen Siyuan took it, feeling a bit surprised.

For elderly people, no one wants anything other than a healthy body.

"Grandma said, to her, living is actually a kind of suffering. She doesn’t have the courage to die, but she also doesn’t want to live longer." Xiao Yue said softly.

Xiao Yue knew that this had something to do with her, that her grandma had long stopped fearing death, and now knowing she could accompany her even after dying, she was filled with longing for death.

"Did you tell her this wouldn’t increase her lifespan?"

"I did, Grandma said a good body naturally lives longer, and... and she’s already used to her current body, so she doesn’t want to bother." Xiao Yue said.

"Alright, I understand."

Shen Siyuan actually quite understood Xiao Yue’s grandma’s thoughts, because for many elderly, living is a kind of torment, and for them, death might be a kind of relief.

"You might want to visit your grandma more." Shen Siyuan suggested.

Xiao Yue nodded obediently, then bit her lip slightly, looking hesitant.

"What’s wrong? Just say it if you have something to say."

"I... I feel like grandma might not live much longer. The last time I saw her, she was worse than before."

Shen Siyuan sighed and said: "I see, when your grandma passes away, I’ll take her to be with you."

"Thank you, brother."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yue’s tightly knit brows finally relaxed.

Then she stood up and said: "I won’t disturb you any longer."

Saying this, her gaze shifted to the side, Shen Siyuan turned to look, and it was Taozi bringing a pot of tea from the side.

"Do you want some tea?" Taozi asked with a smile.

People in Bin Hai area love tea, and they are quite particular, favoring small cups of Gongfu tea.

Unlike in the Northern part, where they usually brew a large mug of strong tea and drink it heartily.

"I brought it from home, someone gifted it to my dad, it’s really good tea." Taozi said proudly.

"Oh, then I must try it, let’s see how it’s good."

Ruan Hongzhuang, who was grinding coffee at the counter, saw this scene and shook the hand grinder violently.

It must be ground very fine; this cup of coffee will definitely be great.
