Scum Male's Whitewashing Manual

7.9

Bai Yumu’s face contorted. He smiled stiffly and came forward to settle the matter. “Yunyun, surely you’re mistaken. How could there be any dog here? We have something to do, so we’ll go first.” As he spoke, he reached out and held the girl’s shoulder for the first time tonight, trying to lead her out of here.

Yet, the heels of this girl called Zhao Xi were as if glued to the floor, and she remained still. Her eyes were still red as she asked again, sourly and bitterly, “You said, you saw a dog following me? What color is it?”

“Can’t you see it just sitting there? It’s yellow, and it looks pretty well behaved.”

Fu Yunyun felt a bit strange. The dog was just right there, but why did the girl in front of her ask her that? She looked down at the yellow dog, who was spitting out its tongue and shaking its tail. Even from just a glance, you could tell they were family. Fu Yunyun also had a dog in her hometown that she grew up with. Seeing such a friendly dog, she couldn’t help but reach out and touch the dog’s head.

“Really good …” Fu Yunyun said this as she reached out, but the hand that should have fallen on soft fur fell short as it passed through the top of the yellow dog’s head.

“This is…” Fu Yunyun froze in shock. After a moment, she withdrew her hand and looked at the dog with a pale face. “Touch… I can’t touch it…”

She has just experienced meeting a master who was very accurate in fortune telling. Furthermore, she was scared of these kinds of paranormal events. After looking at the yellow dog and its pair of gentle eyes, she took a step back in panic.

Zhao Xi looked at the reaction of the person in front of her. With tears of excitement in her eyes, she came forward with the child in her arms, asking hopefully, “Could you really see it? Is it really with me?”

Fu Yunyun blinked again. This yellow dog, indeed, was a bit transparent. She was seeing a ghost?

“Holy crap!!!” Fu Yunyun turned and ran with her crutches. Although she hurt her leg, she wasn’t any slower than normal people. After a few moments, she was out of sight.

Zhao Xi’s tears were still swirling in her eyes. She saw the person who could see the dog run away and subconsciously started running to catch up with her, but was then pulled back by Bai Yumu.

“Yunyun is my high school classmate. She has always been a bit out of sorts. It looks like she was having a moment just now. Leave her alone, and let’s bring the baby back first.”

“She said that she saw Da Huang, and that Da Huang is following me around…”

Zhao Xi’s pretense of strength just now was gone. She wasn’t an adult yet, and even if she tried harder to maintain her composure, she still couldn’t hold back after learning the news about her beloved dog.

“How could she have seen Da Huang? Didn’t you bury Da Huang yourself?” The good-looking man advised gently, carefully holding Zhao Xi as he coaxed her, “Quanquan is still at your Aunt’s house, so let’s settle down first. The baby is still small, and you can’t afford to toss and turn him around.”

Zhao Xi’s eyes flashed hesitation at the thought of her younger brother being left in her aunt’s house. Seeing how shaken she was, Bai Yumu spoke quietly and helped the girl to go out. As they walked past the corner of the corridor, he grimaced as he glanced back to the ground that was just pointed out by Fu Yunyun. His irises flashed in fear, but he suppressed it quickly. How can there be ghosts in this world, he thought. If there were, he wouldn’t have been able to live well until now.
