Chapter 530: Chapter 530: Binhai’s Insanely Talented Youngster! (5th Update)
Seeing Zhou Mi clinging to Huang Xiaolong like a kitten, Huang Xiaolong didn’t take advantage of her. Although she was bewitched by a ghost, her possession wasn’t severe. It was just like being blinded by a red-dressed ghost.
Huang Xiaolong recited a spell casually, and the ghostly aura around Zhou Mi’s eyes was swiftly dispelled. Her expressive eyes, after a moment of confusion, quickly returned to their pristine clarity.
“Ah?!” Zhou Mi glanced at Huang Xiaolong, then at herself, and then let out a high-pitched scream!
In the next second, like getting an electric shock, Zhou Mi pulled back, fixing her messy clothes with a reddened face, wishing she could squeeze into a hole in the ground.
“Stop screaming. People might think I molested you.” Huang Xiaolong laughed, then frowned slightly, still pondering the question he couldn’t comprehend – how Zhou Mi was bewitched by the ghost.
“That’s so weird~~ Just now, I was like… dazed, all muddled up…” Zhou Mi also began recalling what had just happened, a mix of shame, embarrassment, surprise and bewilderment. “But I’ve never acted like this… Handsome guy, don’t misunderstand, I’m not a lewd anchor… just now, that definitely wasn’t me… what’s wrong with me?”
“You were just bewitched by a ghost.” Huang Xiaolong said with a straight face. He then scrutinized Zhou Mi. She didn’t wear any ghost-attracting ornaments.
Everything seemed normal.
“Ghost… I was… I was blinded by a ghost?” Girls are afraid of ghosts. Hearing Huang Xiaolong’s words, she shivered with fear. And the more she thought about it, the more she believed. Se wouldn’t engage in such outspoken behavior if she wasn’t bewitched by a ghost. She was a clean and pure goddess!
Her first time being so buoyant! If it’s not because of a ghost, it’s weird!
“But don’t be scared, I’ve already dispelled the ghost energy for you.” Huang Xiaolong said calmly. “Can you remember what happened just now? I mean… what did you do earlier?”
“I didn’t do anything. Besides, I didn’t offend anyone, nor have I done anything guilty… ghosts… ghosts wouldn’t inexplicably target me… did they get the wrong person?” Zhou Mi spoke in her innocent voice. “By the way, handsome guy, are you a Taoist? I heard you chanting a spell just now, and then I sobered up. You’re amazing.”
“You didn’t do anything earlier?” Huang Xiaolong was puzzled even more.
“Yeah, I was just playing with my phone since I was bored.” Zhou Mi innocently said.
“Phone?” Huang Xiaolong’s mind raced. He asked, “Give me your phone. Let me take a look.”
“Um… that’s not good, right? It’s my private item. It involves… my privacy…” Zhou Mi was a bit reluctant.
Huang Xiaolong didn’t wait for a second answer and snatched her phone straight away.
Upon examining the inside and outside, the phone did not have any abnormalities.
The phone screen still had a WeChat chat. Huang Xiaolong saw that she had been chatting with a user named “Binhai Genius Mad Young Man”.
“Binhai Genius Mad Young Man” sent a red envelope with a lewd spell – “I want to hook up with unknown men. I’m so horny~”
However, Zhou Mi accepted the red envelope with the spell. The money wasn’t much, only 20 yuan.
“Oh my! You’re so outrageous!” Zhou Mi’s face was red as a beetroot. She snatched back her phone and weakly looked at Huang Xiaolong. “Let me explain… I was just too bored and opened WeChat to play. Then, a local guy added me. I, kind of accepted without thinking. After accepting, he immediately sent me a spell red envelope. Out of habit, I automatically copied the spell without looking at its content… I definitely didn’t know what it was about. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have accepted it.”
“Alright, handsome guy, we’re here. You can drop me off.” Zhou Mi hurriedly responded.
Huang Xiaolong was in no rush. He stopped the car, took out a charm from his personal bag, and handed it Zhou Mi. “Take this, it’s an amulet. I drew it myself. Keep it with you at all times. Don’t let any ghost bewitch you again. You may not escape unscathed next time.”
“Thank you, handsome guy.” Zhou Mi took the amulet, then suggested, “Handsome guy, let’s add each other on WeChat. Just in case something like what happened earlier happens again, I can ask for your help.”
With that, Zhou Mi turned shy. This was the first time she had asked a man for his WeChat contact.
Without thinking much, Huang Xiaolong swapped WeChat IDs with Zhou Mi, and added her as a friend.
Zhou Mi got off the car.
Huang Xiaolong drove towards his date with Cui Feiyan.
“Could it be that there was something wrong with the spell red envelope? Because the spell was…about hooking up with a strange man…and Zhou Mi’s earlier behavior…it did look like she wanted to hook up with me.” Huang Xiaolong frowned, but after careful inspection, the phone indeed had no problems.
“Let’s forget it for now. I still have to have a, uh, heart-to-heart conversation with my tsundere CEO Feiyan, later.” Huang Xiaolong adjusted his emotions.
Soon, he drove to a commercial area and parked.
He walked to a western restaurant.
“Little Long…over here!” Cui Feiyan appeared to have been waiting for a long time. As soon as she saw Huang Xiaolong, she waved her hand enthusiastically, her eyes full of affection.
Cui Feiyan was clearly decked up today, wearing a long black dress, with her long black hair casually draped over her shoulders, radiating captivating charm.
Her black dress and fair skin contrasted sharply, adding to an irresistible allure.
Moreover, the black dress made her appear even more aloof, like a goddess, intimidating to most men who dared not approach but admire from a distance.
“Haha~~ Feiyan.” Huang Xiaolong ran over cheerfully. “You look really beautiful today.”
Upon hearing Huang Xiaolong compliment her beauty, Cui Feiyan felt sweet. Since the last time Huang Xiaolong warded off the demon in the toy store, earned her billions overnight, and his performance at the four major families’ charity auction, Cui Feiyan held a mix of admiration and affection for him.
Huang Xiaolong had also appeared in her dreams, truly the love of her dreams and her Prince Charming.
During this period, Huang Xiaolong had not contacted her, which left Cui Feiyan worried and feeling as if something was missing from her life. She was painfully aware that she had completely fallen in love with this always cheerful and light-hearted boy!
She was deeply in love, beyond any hope of salvation!
“Hehe, Feiyan, I thought you were going to wear leather pants,” Huang Xiaolong said lecherously while staring at Cui Feiyan.
Cui Feiyan gave Huang Xiaolong a flirtatious glance, “Tsk~~ It’s so hot, why would I wear leather pants…if…if you want to see me in leather pants…then…come over to my place later, I’ll change into them for you.”
“Sounds good.” Huang Xiaolong was very excited.
“Let’s go, Little Long, I’ve reserved a table.” Cui Feiyan said with a charming smile.
The pair walked into this extremely high-end western restaurant shoulder to shoulder.
As soon as they stepped in, a woman dressed in office attire, around 26 or 27, average-looking, greeted Cui Feiyan respectfully, “President Cui, you’re here for a meal?”
“Mm.” Cui Feiyan nodded indifferently, exuding a powerful aura.
The pair entered the reserved private room, Cui Feiyan volunteered, “That woman just now, she works in my company’s planning department.”
“Oh.” Huang Xiaolong nodded.
After both had taken their seats, a waiter walked into the private room to serve them.
Just after they ordered, suddenly, there were screams, sounds of running, and chaos coming from the dining hall outside their private room…A complete mess!
“What’s going on?” Cui Feiyan frowned unhappily. She had finally gotten her crush to go to dinner with her and enjoy a candlelight dinner, and she didn’t expect there to be an incident in this restaurant.
“Madam, I…I really don’t know…” The waiter was full of innocence.
“Feiyan, I’ll go out and see what has happened.” Huang Xiaolong stood up and ran out. Cui Feiyan quickly followed.
In the main dining hall,
they saw an office lady, holding a kitchen knife in her hand, swinging wildly, her face contorted with madness, she screamed hysterically, “I want to kill you all! I want to kill you all!”
This crazy woman was the same employee that had greeted Cui Feiyan earlier.
“No way? What’s wrong with Lily? Did she eat something wrong?” Cui Feiyan was shocked. “She’s usually quite normal. She comes from a good family and has a good education. She doesn’t have a history of mental illness.”
Huang Xiaolong’s eyebrows twitched slightly, he saw a ghostly aura enveloping the woman’s eyes!
She was under the influence of a ghost!
The situation was similar to Zhou Mi who was suddenly affected by a ghost in the car earlier.
When Huang Xiaolong entered the restaurant, he brushed past the office lady and didn’t notice any abnormalities, much less anything unclean about her. And now, just a few minutes later, she was under a ghost’s influence.
Moreover, the restaurant’s atmosphere was quite positive, and the Feng Shui was good. There was no sign of any malicious ghostly activity!
The more Huang Xiaolong thought about it, the more curious he became. He quickly took out a talisman and threw it towards her from afar.
The talisman attached itself to the office lady’s forehead, instantly purifying the ghostly energy from her eyes.
Soon, the office lady screamed and threw the kitchen knife to the ground. Her face turned pale and she looked utterly confused, “What…what just happened to me? What just happened…?”
“It’s okay now, Feiyan, your staff member is all right,” Huang Xiaolong walked up to her within a few strides.
“Wait for me, Little Long,” Cui Feiyan followed, full of doubts.
“You were just under the influence of a ghost,” Huang Xiaolong said straightforwardly. “What did you do? I mean, what did you do before you were affected by the ghost?”
“I…I didn’t do anything.” The office lady looked miserable. “President Cui, I didn’t do it on purpose. I just felt like I was being mesmerized by something. Like…like being drunk…I unexpectedly, inexplicably went into the kitchen and stole this knife…it was definitely not my intention…~~~”
“Little Long said you were affected by a ghost, he is an authority on this.” Cui Feiyan looked stern. “What did you really do? Be honest with Little Long and don’t hide anything. Otherwise…the company might not need an employee who can go crazy.”
“President Cui, please don’t!” the office lady pleaded. “I really didn’t do anything, I was just idly playing with my phone. Actually…Actually, I…I’m not in a good mood recently, I’ve been dumped…so tonight I…I thought of using WeChat to add…add a friend, then…then…see if we could…could hang out…”
Looks like she wants to hook up!
“Then what?” Cui Feiyan pressed.
“Then, as it happened, a WeChat friend sent me a friend request. I…I agreed, the first thing he said was a password red envelope.” the office lady said pitifully.
“Is the nickname of that WeChat friend ‘Binhai Genius Madman’?” Huang Xiaolong asked, his expression turning serious.
