Supernatural Girlfriend

Chapter 22

Chapter 22: Are you even human?

Suyang had no expression on his face as he rushed me off the driver’s seat onto the front passenger seat. He remained in silence as he stared off in space and drove very robotically.

“Hey. What happened to you? Don’t scare me?” Generally, I already considered Suyang a bit odd. But now, he was acting even more strange.

He isn’t one of the homicidal maniac’s so-called “hidden worshippers” right? Could he have been brainwashed and have some evil thoughts?

Wouldn’t that be very dangerous of him to drive? Am I currently in danger?! Thinking of this, I began to slightly freak out and tactfully remained quiet until we arrived home.

It was as if Suyang had wind blowing under his feet. He ran to take the elevator without waiting for me. As a result, I had to wait for the next one. By the time I entered the apartment, he was nowhere in sight aside from his tightly shut door.

I was pacing back and forth in the living room for quite some time as I fretted from within. Eventually, I decided to press my face against his door to hear what he was doing.

I lowered my body like a cat as I gently pressed my hands on the ground. I pricked up my ears and attentively tried to hear the activity in the room. What was it? There was a faint noise. It sounded somewhat like a person pounding on the keyboard.

The more I thought about it, the more worried I became. I decided to give Shen Shaoqian a call.

“Oh! You’re still alive?” That was Shen Shaoqian’s first line. I wasn’t sure if I should be glad or disappointed. “How’s your body?”

I wasn’t in the mood to joke around as I temporarily hid in a corner and whispered, “I brought Suyang to see the homicidal maniac. But now, he’s acting really strange. On the way home, he wouldn’t say a single word. And the moment he got home, he locked himself in the room. He’ll be ok, right?”

Shen Shaoqian chuckled. On the contrary, he seemed to be very relaxed about my concerns. “Don’t worry about it. He’s like that. Just leave him alone. Pretend he doesn’t exist and live your days. When the time is up, he will come out on his own. But, you should buy some chocolate and put it in the fridge...or anything that’s sweet and can replenish sugar levels.”

“Are you sure that’s good enough?”  After hearing Shen Shaoqian’s suggestion, I was very doubtful. But if that's what his best friend said, I will follow along.

“I’m positive! Don’t worry! By the way, I asked about your apartment yesterday. They told me it’ll be completed in three days or so. You must be tired of living with Suyang, right? You’ll be free soon. Just endure a bit longer! Cheers!” Then, Shen Shaoqian briskly hung up the phone and left me all by myself in a disheveled state.

My apartment will be completed in three days?

That was supposed to be great news, but why wasn’t I happy about it at all? Yes. It must be because I didn’t want to part with this huge apartment.

I gazed at Suyang’s bedroom door. That must be the reason…

So, I listened to Shen Shaoqian and lived as if I was on my own. I acted like Suyang didn’t exist.
