Chapter 129 129. One is a human, the other is a ghost

One p.m.

Jinjiu arrived at the coffee shop on time. When she arrived, there was already a young and cute girl sitting at the agreed seat.

Qin Weining and Lin Yuehe are both very beautiful, but Qin Weining's beauty is a bit cold, and coupled with her family background, she gives people a feeling of being out of reach.

Lin Yuehe's beauty is like that of a girl next door, giving people a sweet and lovely feeling.

"Hello, I'm Jinjiu." Jinjiu came to the seat.

Seeing this, Lin Yuehe quickly stood up and greeted, "I'm Lin Yuehe, sit down, what do you like to drink? The mocha and latte here are both good."

"No, do you have any boiled water?" Jin Jiu has tried many beverages in this world, and coffee is one of the few that she doesn't like very much.

Her favorite is still milk tea, well, it’s best if it has coconut and crispy popsicles.

"Ah..." Lin Yuehe was stunned and was unable to react for a moment.

But when the waiter arrived, she still ordered skillfully: "A cup of mocha, please. The lady opposite is not feeling well and can't drink coffee, so a cup of warm water will be fine. Also, a portion of fragrant cheese biscuits, and two cakes..."

"What flavor of cake do you like? Vanilla, chocolate, or strawberry?" Lin Yuehe looked up at Jinjiu.

Jinjiu had eaten small cakes before, but the ones she had eaten before were too sweet and she didn’t like them very much.

“I like it less sweet.”

"Oh, ok, a vanilla cake that's not too sweet, okay?"

"Sure." Jin Jiu didn't understand, so he just let her order.

After they had ordered everything, the two of them started talking.

"I won't keep you in suspense. I was transferred here by the head office half a month ago to handle some matters. I need to stay here for about six weeks."

"For convenience, I rented a house near the company. There was a building being demolished there, and the other building, which I rented, was inhabited by elderly people. They tend to go to bed early, so when I work overtime and go home, there aren't many people on the road..."

Lin Yuehe and Jinjiu briefly explained the previous situation and then mentioned what happened yesterday.

When she heard footsteps, the waiter came over with coffee and snacks. The sound of the plates being placed on the table scared Lin Yuehe, and she jumped up from her chair.

The waiter was startled by her startled look and almost spilled the coffee in his hand.

"Sorry, I scared you." Lin Yuehe apologized quickly.

"It's okay, your things have arrived." The waiter put down the things and left.

"Let's eat something first." Jin Jiu saw that she was really scared, so he suggested eating and drinking something first to relieve her nervousness.

Lin Yuehe nodded and drank his coffee absentmindedly. When he took a bite of the sweet strawberry cake, his expression looked much better.

Today's wine is also tasting the vanilla cupcakes.

Ok.

really!

Just as Lin Yuehe said, it is not very sweet, the cake base is very soft, and there should be a little mint on it. It tastes refreshing and cool, which is definitely a pleasure in the hot summer.

Jinjiu decided that she must come here to eat again before leaving City C.

"Is it delicious?" Lin Yuehe couldn't help but smile when he saw Jinjiu's satisfied look.

She actually likes the small cakes in this shop, otherwise she wouldn't have specially wanted to order some for Jin Jiu to try. "Try this fragrant cheese biscuit, it's also delicious, I usually order these two." Lin Yuehe must have been soothed by the food, so she spoke more naturally than before.

Jinjiu tasted the biscuits.

Well, it’s not bad. Although it doesn’t have a complex taste, it has a strong milky flavor, which is very appropriate for the name. It tastes good and she likes it too.

Jinjiu was in a good mood after being tempted by two kinds of food at once.

She finished the cake, ate a biscuit, and then found a few glass beads.

"Take it and put it on the table." Jin Jiu gave the glass beads to Lin Yuehe.

Lin Yuehe was stunned: "What is this for?"

"Divination."

"Ah?" Lin Yuehe looked at the glass beads in his hand, but couldn't figure out what they were.

But she still believed Qin Weining, so she followed Jinjiu's instructions and put the beads directly on the table.

Originally, Lin Yuehe was worried that the beads would roll to the ground, so he placed them carefully on the table. Unexpectedly, even so, there was still a glass bead that rolled straight towards Jinjiu.

Seeing that the glass bead was about to roll off the table, Lin Yuehe's heart inexplicably rose to her throat. She watched helplessly as the bead got closer and closer to the edge of the table, and finally, incredibly, it stopped at the edge of the table!
"This..." How is it possible?

It was clear that the glass bead was not moving slowly when it reached the edge of the table. Normally, it should have rolled down.

but.

The bead seemed to be blocked by some external force and stopped at the edge of the table in an impossible state.

Before Lin Yuehe had time to take a closer look at the beads, Jin Jiu had already put them away and asked, "How do you want to solve this problem?"

"What do you mean?" Lin Yuehe was still immersed in the incredible scene of the glass beads and had not come back to her senses for a long time, so she did not understand the meaning of Jinjiu's words for a while.

"Do you just want to find the creature that's stalking you, or do you want it to stop stalking you?"

"Of course, don't follow me anymore!" Lin Yuehe felt that Jin Jiu was asking a nonsense question.

But soon, Lin Yuehe discovered that there was something wrong with Jinjiu's choice of words.

What does it mean to 'stalk her creature'?
There are so many things that living things can include, animals, plants, humans, and even... ghosts.

Lin Yuehe's face turned pale.

"Don't be nervous, listen to me first." Jin Jiu soothed him, and then quickly said: "There are two creatures following you, one is a human, and the other is a ghost."

"What?!" Lin Yuehe almost fainted.

She thought being followed was bad enough and it couldn't get any worse, but she didn't expect that there were not only people following her, but also ghosts!

"Speak more quietly." Jin Jiu made a gesture for silence. Lin Yuehe then realized that because she was too shocked and could not control her voice, many people were looking in their direction.

Lin Yuehe calmed down. She took a sip of coffee and said, "Sorry, please continue."

"Actually, you know this ghost. Did you have a pet at home that died not long ago?" Jin Jiu's words were already very clear. She almost said directly that the ghost following her was her family's dead pet.

Lin Yuehe's hand trembled and the coffee accidentally splashed onto her clothes, but she acted as if she didn't hear it.

"I... my family did have a golden retriever. Its name was Duoduo. It died half a year ago..."
