"It's your girlfriend who started it first. Why can't she mind her own business and stop judging the others?"

　　I retorted.

　　"Tingting is straightforward and outspoken. Please don't take it personally."

　　"Hum, you mean, your ex-girlfriend is being aggressive and ridiculous, while your girlfriend now is being outspoken and excusable?"

　　Looking at the boy I once fell for, I suddenly realized how stupid and blind I had been in a blink.

　　"Miaoer, you know, I didn't mean that."

　　Traces of embarra.s.sment flashed on Du Yu's face.

　　"Du Yu, save your breath with her."Cui Tingting with her fair-complexioned face, cast me a very disdainful look, sneering.

　　"Su Miaoer, you are being so mean to us, just because Du Yu chose me instead of you and you can't accept it. Let me make it clear to you. You are not in the same league as Du Yu. Why can't you just let go of him?

　　Take advantage of your young age to find someone else. If you can't, I can introduce some rich boys who like to date a new type for a change. With your artifice, you can certainly rip them off."

　　I did not expect that Cui Tingting could be so shameless. I was about to retort. However, she walked off with Du Yu as soon as she finished talking.

　　Du Yu gave me an apologetic look before he left, which made me feel sick.

　　"Your ex?

　　He is beneath you."

　　With hindsight, Rong Qi commented as the couple had left.

　　I glanced at him and said, "You have been talking nonsense all day, but this one sounds pleasant."

　　Rong Qi's fair-skinned handsome face was enlightened with a grin, "Of course. But compared with that, I am more concerned about the malicious words the woman uttered."

　　"What words are you talking about?"

　　I was a little out of my mind.

　　Rong Qi confessed with an honest look, "She said you should take advantage of your young age to find a nice guy, but I am very concerned that it will be very difficult for you to find a good man with your appearance and temper."

　　"Crack..."

　　The bottle of mineral water in my hand was squashed instantly, and the bottle cap flew away. I left without any expression on my face, and did not look back.

　　In fact, I was pretty upset due to Du Yu's cheating. But when I found it out, I realized that I was actually relieved.

　　Perhaps, I knew we were not a good match, or, I was not so into him as I thought.

　　"Calm down, I didn't mean that. In fact, if you change your temper to be tender and dress up, you can be more charming than Cui Tingting."

　　Rong Qi, thinking that I was p.i.s.sed off by him, caught up with me in a hurry.

　　I stopped and took a deep breath, "It has nothing to do with you. I knew I am not in the same league with him and we are not gonna end well. We are living in a realistic world. It is what it is. I have nothing to complain about."

　　Rong Qi looked at me thoughtfully.

　　He pouted and said, "You know yourself well enough. This is my sincere compliment. Everyone has his own desire in the heart, but only a few can overpower their desire with rationality. So, you are more sophisticated than others."

　　I gladly accepted the heartful compliment of this sharp-tongued ghost who had always been mean and irritating.

　　"Let's go."

　　I was about to leave, when I found that Rong Qi was standing still. I turned around in wonder and saw him shrug under the shadow of the building.

　　"The sun is too intense."

　　After all the fuss, the sun had ridden high in the sky. Being a ghost, he was not used to walking in the sun. Although it would not be lethal to him, it was certainly uncomfortable.

　　"Hold on."

　　I ran to a nearby grocery store and bought an umbrella. Now, a person and a ghost could take a safe walk in the sun. I asked, "Where are we going next? Are you gonna take me to get your money?"

　　I almost forgot about the payment - five thousand yuan.

　　Rong Qi didn't mean to deny it. He nodded and said, "Well, although I have been dead for a long time and the world has changed a lot, my money should still be there intact. Do you know a place called Pingpo?

　　Rong Qi was not very confident when saying the name of the place.

　　Yeah, it's been a hundred years. That's quite understandable.

　　I thought for a while and confirmed, "Yes, but now it's a development zone, very bustling."

　　Rong Qi nodded, "Let's go there, and find a man named Zuo s.h.i.+'an."

　　"Zuo s.h.i.+'an?"

　　The name sounded familiar to me, but I couldn't remember where I'd heard it before. I took a taxi to Pingpo as Rong Qi instructed; before that, I stopped by a gold store and sold the ring.

　　Due to the lack of invoice and the depreciation of the old gold ring, I got paid less than 1,500 yuan unexpectedly.

　　Anyway, I got it for free.

　　Half an hour later, the taxi stopped in the downtown area of Pingpo. Of course, it was no longer called Pingpo. It has emerged as the economic and commercial area of the city.

　　For the first time, Rong Qi stood on the modern bustling streets. He was very excited and curious about everything. He kept looking around and muttered, "I knew it was a geomantic and treasured site. I was right..."
