Chapter 98 Move To The Ghost House 4
Lulu stared at me—a rare occurrence-- and simply said, "The rooms on the second floor are the sisters’ rooms. Choose one somewhere else." Then she turned and busied herself with something at the bar.
I felt like I’d been insulted for some reason, and also like I should have needed to do more than accept a room from Yan’er to get Lulu to stare at me like that. Regardless, I got the answer I’d been looking for.
Guess I’m cleaning out another room. Again.
However, I felt a little nervous. I’d never dared to go to the third floor. Besides, there weren’t even stairs to get up there. And Lulu had said I couldn’t stay on the second floor where many of the people I knew slept. The room in the back of the house was out since I knew someone had taken that one as well.
So where can I stay? The hallway? I looked at the size of the hallway and the amount of debris that had collected along the wall. Even if I spend ten days cleaning it, I doubted I’d ever get it clean enough to sleep here, even if I had wanted to sleep in a hallway.
Looking at Lulu’s back, I almost wanted to cry. This is my house now! Now I understand Xiahui Liu a little better. How could anyone deal with this?
I turned around and went to find Sister Hua. However, when I asked her, she simply giggled and told me to find myself a beautiful woman who I could stay with. I felt my heart jump a little when she said that. Truthfully, the Ghost House was full of beautiful women. I was probably the ugliest creature in this place other than Xiao Pang, although even Xiao Pang had a certain cuteness.
I went back to the bar, and Lulu immediately said, “So, where did Sister Hua tell you to live?”
I looked at her cold face and said, “She told me to find a woman to stay with.”
Lulu let out a cry of dissatisfaction.
It seems I can’t do anything quite right today. Deciding to goad Lulu a little bit more, I said, “Do you think there’s a blind cat around here who will take in a dead rat like me?”
Lulu’s face went red, and she whipped towards me shouting, “Get out of here! Go work!”
I angrily thought to myself, Well, Lulu. You’re the one who kicked me out of my room. I’ll just sleep there anyway. I’ll sleep in the nude, and then let’s see who frightens who out of the room. Of course, I’d never dare to say such a thing to Lulu. Truthfully, I worried that she’d castrate me.
As I walked away, Mr. Li called me over to chat. We had a few glasses of alcohol when Mr. Li invited me to eat dinner with him. I accepted the invite cheerfully, but quickly realized it was just an excuse to have a repeat performance of the other night. Boss Shi was going to love me.
Unluckily for me, this time, no one let me stay sober and the Ghost House guests put glass after glass of alcohol in my hands. I was the first one to fall over drunk, and I was awoken by Boss Shi gently urging me to return to the Ghost House.
I’ll show her. I’ll scare her by taking off my pants! Why am I so afraid of her? I thought drunkenly as I stumbled to my new home. I couldn’t help but laugh at the thought of Lulu being afraid of me. My laughter stopped when I entered the house and thought about the matter of ascending the stairs and finding my new bed. How am I going to get to sleep? Where’s my room? Oh, boy.
I must have figured it out somehow, because I woke up the next morning in a bed with a splitting headache. I tried to sit up several times before resigning myself to staying in bed with my eyes pressed shut. After a while, I felt like I’d recovered a bit of strength, and I looked at the time. It was still early enough that I could go back to sleep, but I was eager to eat. I stumbled out onto the street and soon realized that the pedestrians nearby were whispering about the house.
“It used to be a whorehouse, you know.”
“I’ve heard. And isn’t that man…”
My head hurt too much to listen to the chatter on the street. I rushed to a breakfast stall to grab food, then hurried back to my old home to slide into a warm bath. After soaking for what felt like hours, I prepared myself to return to the Ghost House and sort things out for the third day this week.
When I entered, I immediately attracted the attention of everyone nearby. Everyone smiled at me, but they all looked like they were hiding something, and I heard whispers throughout the room.
What are they hiding? Do they think I can’t see past their cheesy, toothy smiles? Is there something on my face? I looked down at my body but didn’t see anything amiss. I started to grow concerned.
Xiao Lingdang shyly walked up to me and then suddenly burst into laughter. She laughed until she was out of breath, and several of the guests behind her were doubled over as well. Eventually, she said, “Brother, you gave…. You did… Brother, you were…” before dissolving into laughter again.
Yan’er came over and gently pulled Xiao Lingdang to one side while whispering something to her. It sounded like she said, “Don’t worry about him. He…” and then she began laughing as well.
Oh, my god. They’re all insane. What did I do? My emotions must have registered on my face because now even more people were laughing.
I looked around and realized Lulu wasn’t among the crowd. I decided to go to the bar to ask her why everyone had gone mad, but when I arrived, I didn’t see her anywhere. While I stood there, puzzled, Lulu shot up from behind the bar with something in her hand.
Oh, there she is!
As soon as she saw me, Lulu’s face turned so deeply red that I thought of a red wedding dress. The things in her hands clattered to the floor, her eyelids trembled, and her mouth gaped open.
Well, that’s dramatic, I thought. Her reaction seemed so different than the others’ that I grew even more concerned. I slowly asked, “Lulu, what are they laughing at?”
The red color crept from her cheeks down her neck, and she slowly sank to the floor behind the bar. I craned my neck to look over the bar top and said curiously, “Lulu, what’s wrong with you? Have you all gone nuts?”
“You gave Lulu a peek yesterday, and now you’re trying to get something in return?” The teasing voice of Sister Hua drifted from behind me. I turned around to see the corners of her mouth tugging upward and her eyes dancing with laughter.
I gave Lulu a peek? At what? And now I want to see Lulu’s? What is—oh, no. No, no. I looked at Sister Hua doubtfully and carefully asked, “Sister Hua, what did I show Lulu?”
Sister Hua’s giggles finally erupted. Once she calmed down, she said, “What did you show her? Your big thing, of course!” Her eyes pointed at my crotch and she covered her laughing mouth with her hand before walking away.
Memories from the night before flooded back. Oh, god. What did I do? Oh, this is not good.
I didn’t have the courage to look behind the bar again to see Lulu’s reaction. Frankly, it was a miracle that she hadn’t killed me in my sleep. I rushed away from the bar and found Sister Hua.
I walked up to Sister Hua who was still giggling softly and said, “Sister Hua, I’d like to ask permission for time off today. Actually, today and tomorrow. You know, better make it today and tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.” My cheeks felt like they were on fire. How many days do I need for the ghosts here to forget what happened?
Sister Hua looked at me and firmly stated, “No. You can’t run away after doing bad things.”
I doubted that there was any way the events of the night before could have scarred Lulu any more than they scarred me.
