After ZhouXiang delivered the bill to Ah Liu, he got a call from YanMingXiu.
Once he answered the phone, he could hear YanMingXiu’s intoxicated voice. It sounded as though he hadn’t yet awakened from last night but it was already four to five in the late afternoon. Could it be that he was drinking until now?
“ZhouXiang, come… come over.”
“President Yan? Have you been drinking this entire time?”
“Not your business, come over … right now.”
ZhouXiang sighed, “Okay, coming now.”
He hailed a taxi and quickly went back. As soon as he entered the condo, he was almost pushed out by the strong stench of alcohol.
YanMingXiu was sitting on the sofa. There were a few bottles of red and white wine on the coffee table in front of him. His face is red, leaning against the sofa.
Hearing the sound of the door, he turned his head and glanced at ZhouXiang, “You’re here. Cook me some food.”
ZhouXiang saw that he was still conscious and heaved a sigh of relief. He didn’t want to deal with a drunkard at all, “What do you want to eat?”
“Make whatever there is in the refrigerator,” YanMingXiu stood up unsteadily and looked at him deeply, “Make your best dishes.”
ZhouXiang nodded and went into the kitchen to start cooking.
YanMingXiu leaned against the door frame and stared at ZhouXiang’s back with his eyes narrowed, “Did CaiWei told you? About ZhouXiang’s home being burglarized?”
ZhouXiang paused, then mumbled, “He mentioned it.”
“I don’t think it’s a thief.”
ZhouXiang uttered an “Oh” sound and voiced, “If not a thief, then who?”
YanMingXiu’s eyes emanated a warm glow, “I think it is ZhouXiang himself.”
ZhouXiang is shocked. If he turned back to look at YanMingXiu at this moment, he would have noticed the abnormal feverish glow in YanMingXiu’s eyes. But he didn’t dare to turn his head at this time. He could only hide his fluctuating emotions by continuing to chop vegetables.
ZhouXiang responded, “What are you talking about? Isn’t that ZhouXiang already…”
“Team Leader Wang mentioned that there was no trace of the door lock being tampered with. It was opened with a key and the only people who knew of the key’s location are myself, that surname Lan and ZhouXiang himself.”
ZhouXiang couldn’t help but sneered, “Nonsense. How could a dead person come back to open the door?”
YanMingXiu shouted angrily, “He is not dead!!”
ZhouXiang got so frightened that he jolted. He turned around and saw YanMingXiu looking at him fiercely. ZhouXiang wanted to say something but it was stuck in his throat so he couldn’t say anything.
For what reason is YanMingXiu so sure that he is not dead? Whether he was dead or not, the actual party involved has the most say in it. He really wanted to slap YanMingXiu. LaoZi has been fucking dead for almost three years. He’s been dead for this long already, how is he still fucking not dead? It would have been great if he wasn’t dead! His body was given by his parents. He didn’t know whether he could find his parents with this face when he goes to Diyu(T/N).
T/N: As previously explained, according to ideas from Taoism, Buddhism, and traditional Chinese folk religion, after death, the soul will enter Diyu, which is a purgatory that serves to punish and renew spirits in preparation for reincarnation. All will go to Dijyu after death, but the period of time spends there is indefinite, depending on serverity of the sins one committed.
