Chapter 9

Shi Li tried several times, still couldn't leave Chen Du's body.
Multiple struggles later, dizziness worsened, the barely stopped wound started bleeding again.
Shi Li dared not move anymore, lay on bed obediently, pale as death.
She was temporarily unable to leave, or——
Shi Li blinked in panic.
If she could never leave, what about Chen Du?
Chen Du's soul, still sleeping?
Shi Li lifted her hand, gently pressed her heart, feeling the warm, gentle heartbeat beneath her palm.
This was Chen Du's heartbeat, right under her palm, warm and gentle, pulsing.
But even so, she couldn't feel Chen Du's existence at all.
Her soul seemed seamlessly embedded in this body.
Shi Li panicked, bit her lip.
She didn't come to snatch Chen Du's body, she just wanted to complete that so-called "attachment" soon, go back to save money for reincarnation.
Chen Du should live well.
They should mind their own business, one in underworld, one in human world.
Now this mess, what is this?
Shi Li cursed the underworld supervisor hundreds of times in her heart, the doorbell rang.
It should be that pretty sister——Chen Du's girlfriend——Shu Yun came.
Shi Li relaxed, but her heart had doubts——she didn't even have the key to this home.
Shi Li used Chen Du's body to stand up, step by step to the door, opened it.
Night wind was strong, cold air drilled into respiratory tract at door opening, stabbing lungs.
Shi Li couldn't help coughing a few times, exerting force, upper right abdomen suddenly faintly pained.
The pained area was unfamiliar, some organ never felt.
Shi Li paused, in the gap of seconds, pain suddenly intensified, like rusty knife stirring in abdomen, radiating to shoulders and back along nerves.
Shi Li "ah" cried, involuntarily arched back, body almost curling, center of gravity unsteady, falling sideways.
"Chen Du!"
Outside, Shu Yun's expression urgent, stepped forward to support "him" forcefully.
She was still in white coat, probably rushed from hospital.
"How did you end up like this? Were you staying up late working overtime again?"
Shi Li wanted to answer, but hurt so much she couldn't speak.
She couldn't figure this sudden pain, suspected again soul possession side effect.
But... it hurt so much.
Felt life-threatening pain.
Shi Li bent over pressing abdomen, pale fingers tightly grasping pants seam, fingertips almost embedding into fabric.
Just half a minute, back sweat wet the shirt.
Shi Li bit teeth enduring, didn't cry.
