However, after thinking about Xia Yan's identity as an "evil spirit," Jianzi forcibly held back and chose to ignore it once again.
But my mind couldn't help but wander.
How did this evil spirit know what I was planning?!
Could he really read minds?!
No! He must be faking it! He's saying that on purpose because he knows he's revealed it!
"I advise you not to get off the bus. The convenience store is already closed if you go there now. Going there now will only be a wasted trip and an extra ten minutes of waiting for the bus."
Who would believe something like that!
Upon hearing Xia Yan's words, Jian Zi secretly complained to herself.
It must be because you are a "bound spirit" and cannot leave this bus, that's why you don't want me to get off.
Ignore it, ignore it!
You'll be free soon! Whether it's wet panties or this bus haunted by evil spirits.
With this in mind, Jianzi once again strengthened her resolve to get off the bus and make a purchase.
Once the bus came to a complete stop and the doors opened, she jumped off without even caring that she had to walk over Xia Yan.
Standing on the bus stop platform, Jianzi closed her eyes, opened her arms as if embracing the world, and showed the same smile as Andy in "The Shawshank Redemption" after his successful prison break.
When she opened her eyes, she found Xia Yan standing in front of her with a smile.

"Why did you follow me here!?"
Looking at Xia Yan standing in front of her, Miko really wanted to shout it out loud.
But she only dared to think about it in her heart.
"...Last night's movie was so amazing, I couldn't help but imitate it, hahaha..."
What idiot am I talking about?!
I always feel...
I want to die.
Faced with Xia Yan's teasing gaze, Jian Zi felt that if she weren't still wearing shoes, she would have dug a three-bedroom apartment out of her feet.
"That's right! Convenience store, convenience store! If I don't hurry, I'll miss the next bus..."
It seemed as if they wanted to get out of the awkward situation as soon as possible.
After seeing Zi say those words, she jogged toward the convenience store not far from the bus stop.
……
"It's really closed..."
Looking at the padlock hanging on the convenience store and the four big words "Temporarily Closed," Jianzi felt a sense of confusion.
She didn't even realize that she had inadvertently revealed that she could hear Xia Yan's words.
Even if she hadn't revealed it, Xia Yan himself already knew this.
The two of them are currently in a state where I know you can see me, and I know you know I can see you, but we both keep it to ourselves.
To be precise, it's only when they see each other that it's a tacit understanding.
After all, Xia Yan had already made it clear; she was just pretending not to know.
It was shortly after the summer vacation ended, and the season was in the late summer and early autumn.
Although the daytime temperature is still high, the evening breeze becomes a bit cool after the sun sets.
Especially noticeable is that she was wearing wet panties.
Although it felt warm when it first came out, it has long since cooled down, leaving only the dampness of the fabric clinging to my skin.
The damp hem of her skirt felt even more chilly when the early autumn wind blew on it.
The unsettling feeling of something coming out of nowhere made Miko shiver involuntarily.
At the same time, a sense of grievance arose in my heart.
Jianzi wanted to shout out her question: Why did she have to go through all this?
But then he glanced at Xia Yan, who was standing next to him with a smile.
If I say it out loud, he'll probably find out I can see it...
Ignore it, ignore it!
Holding onto this naive yet stubborn thought, Jianzi simply bit her lower lip, tilted her head back, and swallowed back the tears that were welling up in her eyes.
"Oh no, this is bad luck. The convenience store is closed. I need to hurry back to the station."
Although she didn't cry, Miko's voice still had a heavy nasal tone.
That pitiful little face almost made Xia Yan burst out laughing.
"I know what you're thinking anyway, so why pretend you don't see it? I'm not going to do anything to you, just treat me like a normal person..."
Seeing that Zi pretended not to hear or see anything, he simply walked on by himself.
"We need to hurry, or we'll miss this bus..."
Seeing her like this, Xia Yan wasn't angry. He just took two quick steps and stood in front of Jian Zi, reaching out his devilish hand towards her small but full and beautifully shaped headlights.
Seeing this, he subconsciously took two steps back.
"See, we've been exposed again."
The air became quiet for a moment.
Oops! ! !
Seeing Zi scream wildly in her heart, she was simultaneously brainstorming how to solve the current predicament.
"Ouch... ouch... ouch, it hurts so much... my ankle hurts so much, I twisted my ankle!"
Seeing Miko, who ignored her wet panties and plopped down on the ground, awkwardly performing in a monotone tone, Natsuhiko rolled his eyes in exasperation.
He hadn't expected the other party to be so dishonest.
To be honest, in terms of appearance, I am no different from an ordinary person, and I should be a handsome guy no matter how you look at it.
Logically speaking, one shouldn't be this afraid, right?
However, when he thought about how Miko behaved in the original work, Xia Yan felt somewhat relieved.
This has absolutely nothing to do with appearance.
After all, she didn't even dare to speak to the spirit of her own deceased father, let alone to herself, a stranger she had only met once in the car.
Thinking of this, Xia Yan, feeling a heavy responsibility, shrugged helplessly.
"Fine, it doesn't matter. Just keep pretending you can't see me. I'll be by your side for the time being anyway."
After saying this, Xia Yan transformed into a cloud of black smoke and pounced on Jian Zi, who looked on with some fear.
Then he disappeared into her body.
No, it's gone!?
This...this is...possession?!?
Am I possessed by an evil spirit?!
At this moment, Miko was in a state of utter panic. Scenes from horror movies she had watched before flashed wildly through her mind like a slideshow.
Although she didn't feel anything, under the influence of psychology, Jianzi always felt as if something had increased on her.
No! Mom, Kyosuke, Hana...
What should I do?! Can anyone help me?!
Seeing her gaze gradually become vacant, tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
It wasn't until I saw a bus pass by the station in the distance, but drove away without stopping after finding no one there, that I came to my senses.
It must be a hallucination; it's all because I haven't rested well these past few days!
How could such a thing exist, like evil spirits...?
As long as you go home and take a nap, everything will be fine!
This is the third bus I've missed today. It's so much later than usual. My mom and Kyosuke will definitely be worried about me.
After doing a lot of mental preparation for herself, Jianzi stood up shakily and walked towards the bus stop not far away.
However, having been sitting on the ground in a very uncomfortable position for half a day, coupled with the fear causing his legs to become unresponsive, he had only taken two steps when he stumbled and fell forward.
"ah--"
Having witnessed her own pathetic fall, Miko couldn't help but gasp in surprise.
He covered his face with both hands and closed his eyes in panic.
But the expected pain didn't come the next second.
Jianzi felt as if her legs had gained a mind of their own and started moving uncontrollably.
He took a step forward at a speed beyond his reaction time, while his waist involuntarily leaned backward. He only managed to jog forward two steps before regaining his balance and standing steadily in place.

Just now……
What happened?! My body started moving on its own?!
Was that an instinctive reaction?! It must be an instinctive reaction, right?!
It must have been an instinctive reaction...
