Chương 60

Ye Mingze was scolded by her and felt very unconvinced in his heart.

“None of you believe me, do you?”

Ye Shixian frowned: “Think about it for a moment; such a thing is absolutely impossible. How could he have come back now, after all this time has passed since he died?”

Ye Mingze retorted, “But Ye Chutang and the others also came back, didn’t they!”

And they even seemed quite formidable!

Ye Shixian simply didn’t want to hear him speak any further. “Humans are humans, ghosts are ghosts; how can you compare the two? Besides, there are no ghosts in this world in the first place. You must have seen or heard something wrong. Dad is already troubled enough by mom’s matter; don’t add to the chaos.”

She then glanced at Ye Mingze again, “Last night, you even fainted from fear. If that gets out, who knows how much ridicule you’ll face!”

Ye Mingze’s face turned pale with anger, and he angrily turned around, covering his head with the blanket.

“Anyway, I’m not going to stay in that room anymore!”

Who knows if there was some kind of dirty thing there!

Ye Shixian closed her eyes, trying to suppress her anger.

Her younger brother had always been spoiled since childhood, which is why he developed such an arrogant personality.

He never considered the bigger picture when doing things; his mind was filled only with himself.

“That’s impossible. You just changed your living quarters; dad will definitely not agree to let you change again.”

Although the mansion was large, there was no need for such trouble.

“Besides, if you really do change, people will think you’ve actually seen a ghost. By then, the whole mansion will be subject to criticism! With dad’s current position, what do you think you’re doing by doing this?”

After a series of stern reprimands, Ye Mingze finally managed to regain some sense of reason, but he still felt aggrieved inside.

The figure he saw before fainting, along with that carefree, smiling voice, were deeply imprinted in his mind and couldn’t be erased.

If he continued to stay there, who knows if he would have nightmares every day!

“Then, then I’ll move out!” he said.

Ye Shixian sneered, “Move out to where? To the Chunfeng Building?”

Ye Mingze choked back a response; a hint of guilt flashed across his face.

Just then, a servant came to report that Ye Chutang had arrived.

Ye Mingze instantly sat up on the bed: “How come she came!”

Ye Shixian gave him a glare before saying, “Please let your cousin in.”

Hearing the footsteps and catching a glimpse of that slender, tall figure out of the corner of her eye, Ye Mingze snorted coldly and turned away, not wanting to look any further.

Ye Chutang walked around the screen and saw Ye Mingze lying on the bed with his back to her.

There was white gauze wrapped around his head, and there was a dark brown medicinal soup left unfinished by his bedside.

It seemed that his injuries were quite serious.

Ye Chutang said, “I heard that Mingze was injured, so I came to check on him.”

Ye Mingze sneered repeatedly, “Did you come to laugh at me?”

“Mingze,” Ye Shixian warned him, “Your cousin is understanding. Mingze was shaken yesterday, and his mood hasn’t yet settled down.”

Ye Chutang smiled gently and said, “It doesn’t matter. Actually, I heard about this news last night, but there were so many people coming in and out at that time that we didn’t want to disturb anyone. If you need any help, just don’t hesitate to ask.”

Before Ye Shixian could say anything, Ye Mingze spoke in a sarcastic tone, “Help? Who would dare to ask you for your help! Ever since you both came back, strange things have been happening one after another in this house; it’s really unlucky!”

He blurted it out without thinking, and Ye Shixian’s face immediately changed.

Such words might be acceptable if just thought about in one’s mind, but how could they be said so openly in person?

She felt a tightness in her heart and quickly stepped forward to comfort her cousin, saying, “Cousin, Mingze didn’t mean that…”

“Strange things?” Ye Chutang asked in return, “Are you referring to the incident last night when we saw my brother’s spirit return?”

Although Ye Heng had strictly ordered the servants not to spread this news, there’s no such thing as a wall that doesn’t let air through. Not to mention the Ye family, many people outside had already heard about it.

Hearing her bring it up on her own, Ye Mingze decided not to pretend any longer and directly brought it up.

“That’s right! Who knows if it’s because of you two…”

Ye Chutang didn’t get angry upon hearing this accusation; instead, she raised her eyebrows slightly and said, “This is my brother’s home. Isn’t it normal for him to return?”

After those words, the room fell into dead silence.

Ye Mingze’s expression froze; he never expected Ye Chutang to react in this way!

Wouldn’t most people refute such remarks? Why didn’t she show the slightest hesitation?!

Ye Chutang looked around the room, taking in every detail of its decor, her eyes filled with nostalgia.

“These tables, chairs, and screens were all chosen by our father according to my brother’s preferences. He had a quirky personality; sometimes, when he didn’t want to study, he would lie here and laze about for an entire afternoon.”

Ye Mingze’s hair stood on end!

Ye Chutang’s red lips curled slightly as if she was recalling some interesting memories, and she said with a smile, “In fact, it wasn’t just this place; he had been to every corner of this house. He was very familiar with it. When I was sick in the past, he would take Ayan and A Feng on outings, buy us delicious food, and then secretly bring it to my room, telling me not to tell anyone.”

As she spoke, her fair fingers gently swept along the armrest of a chair, and she let out a soft sigh.

“It’s a pity; those are all things from the past now.”

Ye Mingze opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, he met Ye Chutang’s gaze.

Her dark, warm eyes were clear and serene as she said sincerely, “That’s why I really envy you, Mingze. Could you tell me how you happened to see my brother? I miss him too.”

Ye Mingze’s face turned pale, and a chill rushed to his forehead.

Ye Shixian also froze on the spot, her temples throbbing violently.

Who would have thought that Ye Chutang would ask such a question?!

Ye Shixian’s throat tightened, and she forced a smile onto her lips, but that smile looked even uglier than crying.

“Cô chị, đừng đùa nữa, trên đời này đâu có quỷ thần gì cả? Chỉ là Minh Tạc lúc đó nhìn nhầm mà thôi, mới dẫn đến sự hiểu lầm này…”

“Thật không?” Ye Chutang ngắt lời cô ấy, nhẹ nhàng chớp mắt, “Nhưng tôi lại tin rằng trên đầu mỗi người đều có thần linh đang giám sát; những điều đúng sai, những hành động tốt xấu trên đời này đều phải gặp quả báo.”

Trái tim Ye Shixian bỗng nhiên thắt lại, cô im lặng không nói được gì nữa.

Ye Mingze nhìn cô gái trẻ kia một cách không thể tin nổi; dáng vẻ của cô ấy rất thanh tú và dịu dàng, nhưng những lời cô ấy nói ra lại như những viên đá nặng, đập mạnh vào đầu anh!

Không khí dường như đông cứng lại, yên tĩnh đến mức có thể nghe thấy tiếng kim rơi.

Tuy nhiên, Ye Chutang dường như hoàn toàn không nhận ra rằng những lời của mình đã ảnh hưởng sâu sắc đến họ đến thế nào, cô chỉ lắc đầu thở dài.

“Hay là, những chuyện như vậy chỉ có thể gặp mà không thể mong đợi được?”

Trái tim Ye Mingze lạnh lẽo, nhìn Ye Chutang, anh cảm thấy thật khó hiểu.

Làm sao trên đời này vẫn còn người sẵn lòng tìm kiếm quỷ thần? Cô ấy thật là điên rồ!

“Cô, cô không sợ sao? Nhưng đó là…”

“Sợ ư?” Ye Chutang nhẹ nhàng nghiêng đầu, khóe miệng nở nụ cười nhẹ nhàng; có lẽ cô ấy nhớ đến điều gì đó, đôi mắt cô ẩn chứa một lớp sương mù mơ hồ, khiến người ta khó có thể đoán được.

Cô bắt đầu nói nhẹ nhàng, từng từ một:

“Đó là anh trai đã luôn bảo vệ tôi từ nhỏ; nếu muốn gặp anh ấy thì còn chưa kịp nữa, làm sao có thể sợ được?”
