27: Chapter 27 Buy a Bathtub

After dawn, Lu Siye left 703 and arrived at the entrance of Jucai Residential Area.

Since his pockets were now lined with money, Lu Siye didn't intend to ride a shared bike this time; instead, he chose to call a Didi.

Perhaps because it was rush hour, Lu Siye had to wait five or six minutes before a driver accepted his order.

Another five or six minutes later, the driver arrived. Lu Siye pulled open the back door, got in, and rolled down the window. He rested his elbow on the window frame and propped his head up with his hand.

He felt the breeze, which wasn't exactly cool, and watched the slow-moving traffic on the road, along with the motorcycles and electric scooters weaving between the cars.

He watched the breakfast stall owners by the roadside, sweating profusely as they collected money and gave change amidst the scorching steam.

He watched the crowds, who had hurriedly bought breakfast and were rushing toward the bus stop before they even had a chance to eat, anxious to get to work.

Lu Siye sighed, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

A little over a week ago, he had found a job. On his first day of internship, he had also bought a few steamed buns and a cup of soy milk, eating on the go while rushing to the bus stop.

However, he only interned for half a day before his supervisor told him he wasn't qualified. He had been unemployed less than half a day after being employed.

He had originally thought he would be one of these common masses from then on, but he had encountered a Ghost and obtained the System.

Lu Siye looked down at the date on his phone: July 25th. Exactly one week had passed since he encountered the Delivery Ghost.

In just seven short days, Lu Siye felt as if a lifetime had passed.

Ding-dong~

His phone chimed; it was a message from Chen Feiguang.

Lu Siye exited the calendar and opened the message. It was a link with a short sentence below it.

"Brother Lu, I've sent you the link to the voucher website you wanted."

After reading it, Lu Siye replied with an "OK" emoji.

The voucher website Chen Feiguang mentioned wasn't actually a legitimate site; it was a website set up by The Net.

The money that appeared out of thin air in the accounts of the seven victims of the jumping incident, as well as Chen Feiguang and the others, was received after purchasing vouchers on this website.

To others, this voucher website might be a soul-reaping Ghost; to the Evil Suppression Bureau, this website was a thorny problem.

But for Lu Siye, it was nothing more than an ATM that looked more pleasing the more he saw it!

"Damn it, this crappy road is jammed every single day! Every single day!" the driver's voice, filled with annoyance, rang out inside the car.

Lu Siye looked up ahead and saw a long line of vehicles. He glanced around and realized he was still stuck in the same spot, not moving at all.

Lu Siye's face twitched. He felt like he had really lost his mind; why would he take a Didi during morning rush hour?

After waiting a few more minutes, the car remained motionless. Lu Siye began to boredly look at the shops on both sides of the street.

Suddenly, Lu Siye noticed a massive Furniture City, and his eyes lit up.

He remembered that his bathroom had quite a bit of space. Now that he had money, shouldn't he treat himself to a bathtub?

Having made up his mind, Lu Siye discussed it with the driver, changed the destination, paid the fare, and got out of the car on the spot.

Lu Siye walked past the numerous motionless cars, reached the side of the street, and headed toward the Furniture City.

The Furniture City wasn't far from Lu Siye, and before long, he arrived inside.

Because it was early in the morning, there were no other customers in the Furniture City, and most of the staff were boredly playing on their phones.

The sales assistants at the inquiry desk who had just started their shift were gathered together chatting. Upon seeing Lu Siye enter, one of them, with a lovely appearance, walked over enthusiastically with her long legs.

"Sir, is there anything I can help you with?" the sales assistant asked with a smile.

Lu Siye looked down at the sales assistant, who was a head shorter than him, and frowned slightly.

Why does it feel like Ghost activity has become more frequent lately?

As for why he had this question, it was because he saw faint traces of Yin Qi on the sales assistant before him.

"Sir?" The young woman felt a bit shy from being stared at and turned her head away in embarrassment.

"Oh! Sorry, do you have bathtubs?" Lu Siye snapped back to reality. Staring at someone like that really was a bit impolite.

"It's fine, sir. The bathtubs are on the third floor. Please, follow me!" The sales assistant wasn't angry; in fact, she felt a little secretly pleased.

Lu Siye was over 1.8 meters tall and naturally had a sunny appearance. After practicing martial arts, he added a few points of masculine vigor, and coupled with his well-defined muscles, he could be called a handsome guy.

Humans have an instinctive pursuit of beauty; most people won't get angry when stared at by a handsome man or a beautiful woman.

Following the sales assistant to the third floor, Lu Siye was dazzled by the numerous bathtubs and didn't know which one to choose.

Finally, under the sales assistant's recommendation, Lu Siye bought a bathtub for over six thousand yuan, which included free delivery and installation services. He then got the receipt at the front desk.

The two returned to the inquiry desk. Lu Siye looked at the sales assistant, took out his phone openly, and said to her, "Miss, would it be convenient to add your contact information?"

The sales assistant seemed to be stunned, standing there blankly, at a loss for what to do for a moment.

Her colleagues, who were watching the drama unfold, saw that she hadn't moved for a long time and seemed even more anxious than she was, quickly nudging her in the back.

The sales assistant suddenly woke up. She couldn't believe that a scene she had only imagined would one day actually happen to her.

She took out her phone with a blushing face and handed the QR code to Lu Siye.

Lu Siye reached out to support the back of her hand, raising the phone slightly higher, and then quietly circulated the Bei Ming Divine Art, silently absorbing the Yin Qi from her body and leaving a trace of Internal Energy on her hand.

When the sales assistant touched Lu Siye's palm, her heart raced. She felt her face flush even more, and even the chill that she occasionally felt on her body vanished instantly.

Beep~ Her phone chimed; friend request successful!

"Um... I'm Zhuang Xiaoman!" the sales assistant said shyly.

"Lu Siye!"

After both sides finished updating their contact nicknames, before leaving, Lu Siye, upholding the belief that saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda, reminded Zhuang Xiaoman: "It's been a bit unsettled at night lately. Try to get off work early, and when you go back, try to walk in crowded places."

Is he concerned about me?

Zhuang Xiaoman widened her eyes, her heart pounding, and nodded, blushing.

Seeing that Zhuang Xiaoman had taken his words to heart, Lu Siye walked out of the door with peace of mind.

Just less than three seconds after Lu Siye's figure disappeared at the entrance, a howl erupted from inside.

"Not bad, Xiaoman! You've got game! When will we see you two go public?"

"Exactly, exactly, Xiaoman! How did you do it? Quick, teach us!"

"No... that's not it at all!"

"Yo, yo, yo~ You're even blushing!"

...

Standing at the entrance, Lu Siye listened to the voices behind him, the corner of his mouth twitching.

I was just purely trying to save someone.
