Chapter 149: Sharing a Bed

Ye Xuan held Su Mengli in his arms, gently stroking her hair, and said, “Don’t be afraid, I’m here! What happened?”

Seeing his girlfriend so frightened, Ye Xuan was filled with anger. Whoever dared to scare his girlfriend like this, he would make them regret it!

Su Mengli stayed in Ye Xuan’s embrace, feeling his warmth, and gradually calming her fearful emotions.

After two or three minutes, she finally said, “When I was about to fall asleep just now, someone knocked on the door, and then I saw my mother.”

Ye Xuan’s expression changed, “Your mother? That’s impossible, right? Isn’t she already dead?”

Su Mengli looked at Ye Xuan and said, “It’s precisely because she’s already dead that I’m scared! Has she turned into a ghost to come find me?”

Ye Xuan comforted her, “There’s no such thing as ghosts in this world.”

But Su Mengli worried, “Awakened individuals exist, so what’s so surprising about ghosts appearing?”

Ye Xuan reassured her, “Mengli, don’t worry, while there may be awakened individuals in this world, there are definitely no ghosts. Let’s go check outside your room now to see if there’s anyone there.”

In his past life, until Ye Xuan was reborn, he had never seen any ghosts. When someone died, they were just dead. Could they turn into vengeful spirits after death? That was simply impossible!

With Ye Xuan by her side, Su Mengli naturally had nothing to fear. The two held hands and headed towards Su Mengli’s room.

For Su Mengli, her fear of her mother mainly stemmed from psychological reasons, otherwise, she was fine in other aspects.

Facing her mother alone, she was indeed afraid, but with Ye Xuan’s protection, she was no longer afraid of anything.

If her parents really turned into vengeful spirits and came to harm Ye Xuan, then so be it.

As long as they dared to touch Ye Xuan, even if they were vengeful spirits, Su Mengli would dare to burn them to ashes. Therefore, with Ye Xuan by her side, Su Mengli had nothing to fear!

A few minutes later, Ye Xuan and Su Mengli arrived at the door of Su Mengli’s room, only to find it empty, with no one in sight.

Ye Xuan crouched down, looking at the ground, and said, “Mengli, someone did come to your door. There’s fresh soil on the ground.”

The weather had been good recently, and although there was some dust on the floor from the hotel’s traffic, the appearance of fresh soil at Su Mengli’s door was abnormal.

Su Mengli worried, “Could it really be my mother?”

Ye Xuan said softly, “Tomorrow I’ll contact Long Hanjie and ask him to get his father-in-law’s help. This is his father-in-law’s hotel, with his help, we can check the surveillance footage and surely find some clues.”

“This could be a prank, or it could be some special ability. Either way, rest assured, I will investigate thoroughly!” Ye Xuan assured her.

Su Mengli nodded, “Yes, I trust you.”

Ye Xuan heard this and said, “It’s getting late, you should go back and rest.”

Su Mengli’s face changed slightly, “I’m scared…”

Ye Xuan said, “Then I’ll accompany you!”

Su Mengli blushed slightly and nodded.

The bed in Su Mengli’s room was a double bed, more than enough for two people.

Ye Xuan held Su Mengli and lay on the bed, whispering, “Go to sleep, don’t be afraid, I’m here.”

Ye Xuan was a considerate person. His girlfriend suddenly seeing her deceased mother and being so frightened, she needed comfort and companionship.

At this moment, if Ye Xuan still had thoughts about what might happen in bed, it would be inappropriate.

Moreover, Ye Xuan’s eighteenth birthday was not far away. Sooner or later, she would be his. Why rush things?

Ye Xuan was well aware that if he wanted to, he could succeed now, but was it necessary?

Su Mengli was facing a terrifying situation, and he didn’t want to rush into bed. Would her first experience be pleasant?

Ye Xuan didn’t want that. He hoped that on his birthday, both their bodies and souls would be in the best state, and then on a romantic and enjoyable night, they would truly belong to each other.

Acting now would be like destroying something beautiful.

Physically, Ye Xuan was almost eighteen, but mentally, he was not a typical seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy. Therefore, he was not in a hurry.

The next morning, Ye Xuan contacted Long Hanjie to help check the surveillance footage.

Long Hanjie was very enthusiastic and came to the hotel in person, finding the hotel staff to help retrieve the surveillance footage.

In the hotel surveillance room, Ye Xuan and Su Mengli were watching the footage of the hotel corridor.

In the footage, around ten o’clock last night, a figure walked through the corridor towards Su Mengli’s room.

This was a five-star hotel, so the surveillance was very clear. Su Mengli could clearly see that the figure was her mother, Zhang Xiulan!

She walked step by step to Su Mengli’s door and began knocking. After three knocks with no response, she left.

Two or three minutes later, Ye Xuan and Su Mengli came out of Ye Xuan’s room to check, but Zhang Xiulan had already left.

Long Hanjie looked at their expressions and asked, “What’s going on? Who is that woman?”

Ye Xuan replied, “Mengli’s mother.”

Long Hanjie was puzzled, “Your girlfriend’s mother? Maybe she just missed her child and came to see her? Isn’t that normal?”

Ye Xuan gave him a look, “Mengli’s mother has been dead for over a month. Didn’t you see the wound on her head? It was from being hit by a billboard before she died.”

Long Hanjie was also shocked, “Dead? Then what’s going on? Vengeful spirit? Zombie?”

Ye Xuan shook his head, “I’m not sure, but since she came the first time, it’s very likely she’ll come a second time. Whatever she wants to do, we’ll wait and see. Even if she does turn into a vengeful spirit, I can kill her a second time.”

Long Hanjie seemed to have caught on to something crucial.

He looked at Ye Xuan in shock and said, “Wait a minute, there seems to be a lot of information in what you just said. What do you mean by killing her a second time? Did you kill her the first time? Killed her mother and took her daughter? No wonder she turned into a vengeful spirit to find you!”

Ye Xuan immediately said, “What nonsense are you talking about? I misspoke. Besides, at that time, I was in Magic City, accompanying Mengli every day. Mengli’s parents had an incident in River City, thousands of kilometers away!”

Long Hanjie seemed skeptical, looking Ye Xuan up and down, as if reevaluating him.
