Chapter 78 I want to know your real name

Ning Meng didn’t want to discuss the matter of her teeth with Shi Qi.

This really affected her image too much. Now even Gu Miaomiao, the ghost, had learnt that wind would leak out whenever she spoke…

In the future, when Shi Qi brought it up again, she was going to ignore him. She’ll see how long he could go on talking by himself.

Standing not far away, “Gu Miaomiao” realized that because she had just taken control of this body, she was not too used to it.

Director Wang Tianmin said at the side, “Lu Xue, you are already dead, why do you have to harm the students here? You are a teacher, you shouldn’t do this. These people are all your students, you should serve as a model example…”

It turned out the person occupying Gu Miaomiao’s body was called Lu Xue.

Hearing his words, Lu Xue’s eyes grew wide, “But…being a ghost is not as comfortable as being a human… After so long, I really want to appear in front of everyone.”

She had been stuck in this place for 20 years and only one person cared about her, coming to talk to her every day, and now, she had finally succeeded with this endeavor.

Lu Xue was a little panicked when she saw this scene, but soon calmed down.

She was now human so none of this could hurt her.

Unexpectedly, just after this thought passed through her head, the talisman paper she did not care about hit her directly, and the hot stabbing sensation immediately spread throughout her soul.

“Ah—” she screamed uncontrollably.

The sound was mournful and unpleasant, echoing over the entire swimming pool for a long time, taking a long time to dissipate.

Ning Meng didn’t expect that just a piece of talisman paper would cause Lu Xue to fall directly to the ground very easily, and Lu Xue’s face was full of shock.

She probably didn’t think that these young people would have any abilities.

A living soul who had just taken over another body could easily be driven out which was why it was necessary to swallow the living soul of the original owner to consolidate this little rejection.

Immediately afterwards, a vague figure was stripped off from the body.

When Gu Miaomiao saw this, she was going to squeeze into her body immediately, afraid that she would become a ghost if she were too late.

The two living souls wrestled together at the side.

Gu Miaomiao died at the teacher’s hands because her strength was originally weaker than hers, but the scene just now caused Lu Xue’s strength to drop all of a sudden, so she was no longer an opponent for Gu Miaomiao.

After a few minutes, Gu Miaomiao finally regained her body.

The feeling of returning to her original body was completely different. Her body didn’t feel any rejection, instead, it agreed with her very well. At this time, Lu Xue couldn’t take it forcibly from her anymore.

She screamed, her face turning hideous, blood stains left behind on her facial features, making her look terrifying like an evil ghost from hell.

But she knew she was not a match for the other party.

Seeing that the door was open, her brain churned and she quickly fled towards it, her speed very fast.

Wang Tianmin shouted, “Ah! She’s running away!”

How was he going to explain this to others if she ran away?

Ghosts could be seen by people to a certain extent, which was why incidents where people happen to come across them occurred so frequently.

Originally, Wang Tianmin could not see Gu Miaomiao and Lu Xue.

However, the two people were now revealed completely because of the talisman, and Lu Xue had now become a ghost after possessing a body, so it was normal for her to be seen.

The door to the changing room opened wide.

Shi Qi frowned slightly, “Let’s go then.”

Seeing that he was not in a hurry, Wang Tianmin was too embarrassed to urge him, and followed closely behind. As for Gu Miaomiao, she naturally ran together with them.

She had now become human again.

Ning Meng naturally followed at the side but just as she had taken a step, her sight went black and the scene before her changed as if she was in a different place. She didn’t know where she was, seeing only darkness at the very end.

Was this a hallucination?

Thinking this, she bit the tip of her tongue strongly, but the view before her remained the same.

“It’s useless.” A voice suddenly rang from behind.

Ning Meng hadn’t turned her head when a hand abruptly came from behind, and grabbed her suddenly, pulling her back, making her fall directly to the side.

Darkness surrounded her and she looked around vigilantly, always feeling that something was wrong.

At this moment, her back shook.

She was caught off guard and didn’t react at all.

The sharp pain almost made her speechless, and she could only make a little noise, feeling continuous pain reach her heart.

She knew that Meng Ning’s body was afraid of pain.

But this was the first time she had experienced so much pain.

Before leaving Ningning’s body, she had also suffered, but at that time, she only felt more cold whereas pain was secondary, but now, it was just the opposite.

It was not cold at all, and the beads on her neck carried warmth to her body continuously, providing her with heat.

However, her back continued to feel cold, and it felt sticky upon touching it.

After she turned around, the figure hidden in the darkness appeared in front of her, and that familiar face was none other than Gu Nanqian.

She didn’t expect that Gu Nanqian would follow her all the way here.

Gu Nanqian’s face returned to normal after panicking, and a hint of happiness flashed in her eyes, “We’ve finally arrived at this moment.”

She had been thinking about asking Meng Ning to come out tonight and went over to end her life with a knife, but Meng Ning was not in the dormitory.

After asking around, she secretly came here.

Moreover, she ran into another person outside, and she wanted to help them with their plans, agreeing to undertake the task given, thinking that it couldn’t be better.

The feeling of killing in a place where nobody knew felt better than usual.

Once this side was sealed off, it had become a boon to her. She heard that the surveillance was broken and thought that god must be helping her. The Heavens were standing at her side.

When the time comes, she’ll let the other party conceal the matter as supernatural events were very easy to cover up for.

Gu Nanqian looked at her with delight spread across her face.

Ning Meng sat slumped on the ground, holding the wall for support, a fruit knife was stuck on her back, and she could only see the handle of the knife.

Since she couldn’t change this outcome, she endured the pain and said, “Gu Nanqian, Meng Ning has never done anything to be sorry to you, why have you been treating her like this and even discrediting her?”

Until her death, Meng Ning’s memory still lingered in Gu Nanqian’s favor, but now her lingering thoughts had already disappeared.

Gu Nanqian abruptly smacked the hand she placed on the wall for support, and looked at her with an unsightly expression, “I’m disgusted.”

She was disgusted by Meng Ning’s thoughts of her.

Originally thinking that they could get along well and that even Meng Ning could still help her do things. Since she was willing, why would she not take advantage of it?

Who knew that the rest of the matter happened later, and seeing that she secretly harbored feelings for her, perhaps she also harbored other thoughts every time they made contact. At the thought of that, she felt disgusted.

At first, Shi Qi broke her hands, but left her a rescue line which she didn’t expect at all.

Gu Nanqian touched her neck, at present, there was no wound at all. Once she laid a hand on it, she seemed to be able to feel the fear and panic she felt at the time.

He treated her so well, she just wanted to make her suffer the same pain she felt.

Thinking of the helplessness and pain at the time, Gu Nanqian’s eyes were full of anger, “You were killed by the teacher. If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t have done this.”

Hearing her words, Ning Meng just wanted to laugh.

But when she did, her back would bleed and her body would ache, in the end, she could only reveal a bitter smile.

Gu Nanqian liked seeing such an expression the most. She revealed a small smile, “You were killed by the teacher, why isn’t he coming to save you now? He probably doesn’t want you anymore.”

She watched Ning Meng’s face turn more and more pale in satisfaction.

Just like this, she wanted her to despair, and then die a slow death, making her feel so tortured that her death wouldn’t be comfortable at all, “You can’t even see him in your death. How pitiful.”

Ning Meng yanked the fruit knife out, causing her whole body to hurt like hell. She gasped for breath softly.

The system quickly reminded her, “Great grandson is here!”

She raised her head and seeing Gu Nanqian’s mad face, she suddenly smiled, “…Then you may have to be disappointed.”

Her voice had just fallen when Shi Qi’s figure appeared in front of her like the wind.

Gu Nanqian’s body immediately flew up, and fell to the other side, making a very loud noise, accompanied by the sound of bone dislocation and so on.

The moment her face fell to the ground was the moment the fruit knife on Ning Meng’s back was pulled out and thrown away, cutting open a long gash.

Before she could even react to what had happened, Gu Nanqian passed out.

How could Shi Qi pay attention to her, he strode forward to take Ning Meng into his arms, and saw the same familiar look he’d seen a few years ago.

Unable to say anything, after a long time had passed, he said incoherently, “…I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have let you come…It’s my fault, please don’t you leave, okay?”

Why did this happen every time? He hadn’t even made any preparations and she was going to leave all of a sudden again? Was the time getting shorter and shorter?

Ning Meng couldn’t see his face clearly, and couldn’t carefully distinguish what he said.

After a long time, she put her head on his shoulder, and suddenly recalled that she had made the same posture a long time ago.

She had taken possession of a body thrice and each time she would always encounter Shi Qi, but in the end, she would obtain injuries without his knowledge and pass away from them.

What a peculiar feeling.

When Shi Qi was talking in her ear, his voice was a little vague, and it seemed to be a little fragile, Ning Meng could not hear him clearly anymore.

She tilted her head, looking at his dark and profound eyes, then she pulled out a smile. “…Did you…already find out a long time ago?”

It was said that when people die, they would look back at the scenes of their life. She was not the same as others, because instead, her mind suddenly became clearer.

Connecting various events that happened during this period, it seemed that she had revealed clues a long time ago, but was still denying it, trying to fool herself.

He had probably discovered it a long time ago.

Shi Qi cupped her face, staring straight into her eyes. He pressed down his voice, saying, “No, I didn’t find anything.”

By saying that, he was confessing that he knew.

Ning Meng leaned on him and said in a low voice, “Back then…when I was possessing your grandma…you were only a few years old, you were so small and so cute so I always pinched your face, you probably…didn’t like that.”

For her, it was just a short period of time, but for Shi Qi, it was a whole dozen years.

Ning Meng had not a single clue as to when Shi Qi had discovered it, but now she was certain that he did, and merely did not expose her.

“Did you secretly make fun of me when you saw the note on my phone?” Ning Meng asked again, “Did you?”

Shi Qi shook his head, “No.”

Ning Meng said, “You must have had.”

She knew. The system did not even know that Shi Qi had discovered it.

Shi Qi opened his mouth, “You still owe me a lot of sweets, you can’t go.”

Ning Meng couldn’t help laughing when he said that, “If we meet again…by then… I will definitely repay you…”

Her voice was soft yet it rang in his ears.

Shi Qi’s heart seemed to be grasped by an invisible hand, making him unable to speak. His lips were pressed tightly, and his face was extremely ugly.

Ning Meng suddenly said, “I haven’t filled my tooth yet…”

She was still thinking about filling her teeth, and then showing it off to Shi Qi but didn’t expect that she would die before she could even fill it in.

“Then you can fill it in later.” Shi Qi said, “You can live.”

Ning Meng didn’t speak, and blinked.

The breath of the person in his arms was so weak that he could hardly feel it.

Shi Qi’s heartbeat almost stopped at that moment. He heard his own voice asking, “What’s your… real name… Or is it because you don’t have a body that you can only live like this?”

Several questions were thrown out at once but Ning Meng couldn’t think any longer and called out, “Seventeen.”

Shi Qi quickly responded, “I’m here.”

He suddenly lowered his head and kissed her forehead, the gentle feeling impossible to get rid off. Ning Meng’s eyes opened wide slightly and her chaotic brain couldn’t react.

Ning Meng looked deep into his eyes, panting hard for air, but still trying to speak, her eyes bright and moving, “…My name is…Ning Meng.”

The Ning from Ningning, and Meng from the word lemon¹Funfact, the word lemon 檸檬 or Ning Meng in chinese is very close to the characters used for Ning Meng’s name 寧檬, the first character just missing a 木..
